Eh, today vert quiet wor. I think many mummies still on holiday.

star,
No leh, try a few times liao. She everytime oso ignored Mr Purple de. The Tv at my mum's place oso screen Mr Purple, Micky Mouse, Dibo, Pokoyo and duno wat else, but she just not interested leh. My 2 other nieces will be glued. But I think it is a matter of time niah.

MLP,
I find it very irritating. Then she will accidently hit buttons and change my screen. Haha. Otherwise, she will attack the mouse. ;p

Feifei,
I tot I read somewhere that vicks is not suitable for babies below 2. But maybe sole is ok? Vicks is definely not to be applied to the nose. I read that it will cause the blocked nose to be even worse.

ZuEn,
I'm here but bz with work.

MLP, ZuEn,
Haha, my boy also likes all things with button eg remote control and laptop. He will bang on the laptop! His favourite is our fan remote control cos when he press, got the "beep" sound and he's very amused by it. Just for fun, we actually saved his very 1st word doc that he "typed", keke.

JWT Trial @ East Gate

[roxyz]

hi shinely
So far, we have tried adding carrot, potatoe, minced pork, lean pork, silver fish (this is important as its for the taste and calcium) broccoli, threadfin fillet... my mum has exposed him to different varieties..most of the time, if its just gan bei, she will just cook gan bei porridge. If its carrot, she might just cook carrot and minced pork... just mix and match..


feifei... my boy is down with cough and phglem.. always having this problem, change to soy formula got better initially, now same problem arises... thinking of bringing him to see tcm.. he's still very skinny, 8.5mths only 7.8kg but otherwise everything is ok, he has 6 teeth le, greedy guy
How is charlotte besides her flu? I also read that vicks cannot be used for babies.. must buy baby vicks.. normal ones are too strong for them


hi tera, very tempting but its in the east and i stay at rural west....

hi piyo
which enrichment classes are good?im also thinking of exposing my boy to more... havent started yet

Hi mummies,

Like to share with your my most sad and pai say occasion during one of my house visting.

We went to one of my relative house and i was wearing a dress and was carring my baby. When one of my relative saw me, you know what she say, :
Ooh you are having a second baby !...
I was so shock of what she say when the 1st moment she say is "this" unstead of happy new year ..blar blar or ur baby very cute staff...
And my reply ofcourse was, no lah. and a big full stop of my sentence.
(This mean i have a big tummy loh) hai..so sad.
And my hubby saw liao he told me why don't i just say "yes yes yes" and fire her back...

 

[shinely]

Tera,
My girl is starting to babble, so I video down all her "ah papapapa", "meh, meh, meh". I think it will be really nice to see these videos in the future.

Roxy,
Is 7.8kg very light for 8.5months? Lil ZuEn is 8.4kg during her 8th month, but according to the chart in the health booklet, it is the 75%tile leh. So maybe 7.8kg is ok?

shinely,
Hugz.. I oso got people who commented that I haven regain my figure. Sob! I even gain weight after I stopped BF-ing. I can feel my new skirt getting tighter. Arrrggghhhh.

Rizty,
Normal.. Ok, ok.. I realised sometimes oni, but oso duno wat triggers it.

Hi.
bb Vicks is not suitable for baby below 2 yo. I apply the ruyi you on her soles before wearing socks.

If she has stuffy nose, I will rub my palms with the ruyi you and put close to her nose. make sure the palms do not touch the nose. Then will put my palms onto her chest to keep the chest warm.

My PD recommended Snuffle Babe vapor rub for my boy last time. Can buy fm guardian....

[chamia]

Hi ladies,

Wanted to come in and kaypo chat this morn and afternoon, but... my server was down for the whole day! UK was changing some system, thus affected me, hopefully they are working on it now otherwise, I won't be able to do sales work, account entries, most impt, coming here to chat, and also, it will be so boring in the office, alone (my two colleagues on leave, I am the only staff around).

Piyo, you intending to let Megan go to your old sch huh? Good for you, coz at least yours is one elite sch.

Today, besides getting anxious of not able to do work on my system and emails, I had a 'full' day. Morning, cleaning auntie gave me two 'Mi jian guai' to eat (I had two slice of bread earlier) then I cook korean noodles for lunch, ate two slices bahkwa, two cups of 3 in 1 coffee. I was targeting not to eat dinner, but FIL called and said want to eat at Sakae Sushi at my work area. Called hb, he scared to foot bill, so said he wont join. When I was waiting for them, saw the whole family coming (IL, my two kids, SIL &amp; HB, an aunt) then was told my hb joining in coz SIL won lottery and ask him to come since she is treating, thus i was thinking, why not, as she seldom treat pple. So today is a real 'full' day which broke my dieting plan.

 

[chamia]

Morning girls,
I didnt bring my girl home last night. Duno wat's wrong with me recently, kept entertaining weird tots in my head such that I felt depressed and keep thinking that maybe I am sick, like contacted cancer or something. Maybe I am too stress trying to be a good employee + mummy + wife, thus all the unseen stress. Then my boss gg on ML and a capable colleague quitted. The months ahead will be difficult and busy.
Finally broke down yday. Was incapable of taking care of Lil ZuEn and had to leave her at mum's plcae.
Luckily, hb was very understanding and stood by me. After pouring out the negative tots that I had been suppressing, I felt much better. Now, trying to keep bad tots out and replace them with happie, +ve tots. Hehehe.
Sorrie for all the rumbling earlier in the morning. ;p

 

[zuen]

feifei,
Which studio did you take? I just signed up with MKJ, the same one as piyo.

Must start thinking about wat my girl should wear. The one with the angel wings is so uber cute!

Zuen, aiyo, you dun have to worry now. I am touching on this subject with soyabean and piyo is because we have elder kids who will be needing enrolment into pri sch soon. I think the nearest christian schs are Pei Hwa Pri and Farfield (not sure if its Christian sch). Anyway, you dun think so much k. Things will get sorted out soon for you.
