Tinkerbelle,
The one I go is got 3 outlets. Their main biz is beauty and many ple go there for accupunture.


Roxy,
Enrol liao and suppose to start on 8 Feb but he was down with fever, cough n pheghm. Cough till vomit. End up I call cc to postpone to Mar. Have to see what date my leave approved.

ARe you gg in with your boy? Jaslyn say I can accompany for 1st day but haslina say better don't.

Zuen,
I also thinking of Jurong Calvary church. Saw that they have a school bus sending children back. I saw the bus downstair. If not, maybe I go for PAP. WAlking distance.
Where is new life center church?

Sian hor, so fast got to come back to work. I feel more tired than rest. Hahaha.

Connie,
Actually, I haven explore any of the churches. Hehe. I only saw their website niah. I noe their registration are all in Mar 10.
New life center church ah. Next to Gek Poh Shopping center.
 
Feifei,
Of course, she'slike having buffet. Then the adults kept stuffing sweets and chocolates to her. She happy like anything. I faint..
 
Helo Ladies,
CNY to all. Huat ah!

Roxy,
Wah, that's really very shocking leh. Singaporeans really very KS. I heard St James Kindergarten sch fees very ex wor...

Zu-en,
Could it be she cannot get use to the routine? I think maybe little Zu-en is thinking how come suddenly need to go back to sch again where she is too young to understand tt she skipped sch becos she was sick.

My gal also happily helping herself to the food on the table. The keropoks, cookies etc, but I warned the adults nt to give her sweets. But I think too much rubbish in her tummy liao, she having diahoerra liao. Sianz....

Connie,
I see.
 
yu zhe also helping himself to the goodies but he has limited choices due to his food allergy. end up have to repeat the food allergy story few times.. sianz. he took his first packed drink n sweets during visiting. then help himself to other people toys, cupboards/drawers etc..faintx.

tis morn i bring him to cc, he cry again n cling to me like koala bear. then i come out see his classmate also crying. teacher say its normal usually after long break.

afternoon pick him up he call me mama..hee.
 
Tinkerbelle,
Duno, she oso cannot tell us why. Just started crying and wanted to go home when just a few days ago she was dashing into the classroom.
Lil ZuEn eat CNY goodies until tummy wants to burst then reject main meal. -.o"
I brought her to extended family + friends' place, so abit pai seh to reject their offers to her lor. So she happily eat and eat.

Ellysia,
My girl also cried when she went to PG this morning. Best thing is that the PG is having CNY celebration. So one teacher busy with taking photos while teh other teacher busied with posing with teh children. Nobody cared about my crying baby and so my mum took her home. I am so glad that I am changing her PG soon.
 
kelcqi.. $1k for 2.5mths, like childcare fees, i tink, duno got subsidy or not


zuen, yeah loh, so KS hor!! haiz im enrolling isaiah at st andrew kindergarten.. its an old kindergarten at blk 500plus... so far not much waitlist for that...


connie i brought him there n left within 15mins, he was ok initially then 2 hrs later started crying like mad.. tink tmr will be challenge to bring him there again
 
Morning girls.

Roxy,
St Andrew is an Anglican church? I used to and will be (when the maid comes) attend Faith Methodist at Commonwealth and actually tot of enrolling her there, but I think a little too far hor. Haiz..
Ariel is so smilely.

Hi Roxy,
wow, ur gal got so much hair. mine not much lor.
Where u buy tt band?

ARe u hiding somewhere nearby?
Scare if my boy cry, I will sin luan.

Wat time u fetch him hm on the first day?
 
Hi Mummies,

I had from Year 2008 April Mum. My son is having this persistent cough almost 1 month.
Does any mummies here knows of any good doctor that treats cough? Thank you.
I had brought him to see PD 4 times and to TCM(Yu Guo)but nothing works and now at my wits end.
Any kind mummies have any suggestion?
 
Ellysia,
Erica oso helping herself to the cupboards n drawers after she saw my cousin taking toys out from the cupboard. So paiseh to bring them to visiting nowadays.

Good to know he is beginning to love school. Hope it stays this way.

Roxy,
Wow, that's very expensive wor, considering the distance somemore. Did u check out Nafa? I heard tt kindergarten is very popular also?

Wow, your gal is so sweet, can smile for the camera somemore. Melts my heart man. These are the moments I really longed for another baby.

During CNY, I was carrying my cousin's newborn also and saying how I missed my gal being a newborn then everyone started telling me to try for 1 more so my gal will have companion but the thought of sleepless nites, behaving like a cow and to juggle with my gal and a new baby, I just smile and said wait awhile first.
 
Connie,
New ah? As in teh church or the kindergarten? Actually, I was eyeing Jurong Christina Church or Jurong Calvary Chrurch previously. Haven recee yet. Thinking of doing it in March itself when my maid is here cos I have to take leave to oriente my maid so must as well do some useful receeing. Hehe.

Roxy,
You are talking about the St. Andrew’s Cathedral Child Development Centre @ Jurong West St 52?
Haha, now I have one more to shortlist and recee. ;p
 
zuen, that's the one! its not within a church, its more like a normal hdb void deck kindergarten...we shortlist it mainly cause its near to my inlaw place...i tink its only 4hrs and the fees are very cheap.. only $100plus after subsidy



kelcqi, thanks! She loves to smile!! i thot st james fee was ok cause already paying $350 per mth now for childcare
sad.gif
nafa is popular ah? thanks i will go google it....
yeah loh, i really like those NB days when u can just carry them in cradle position n close to ur heart, but the sleepless nites and moo moo-ing is making me so tired!



thanks feifei! now suffering from lack of sleep ... luckily she only wakes up once or twice per nite to drink milk... if u miss means u are ready for no2? just like kelcqi?
happy.gif



connie, yes, she was born with alot of hair but all standing up de, so funny like porcupine... the hairband was bought from BP here... $10.90 and I find it very good as its very soft n elastic


thanks leng!
 
connie, his first day was ok, initially he played arts n craft then when he couldn get his way with the crayons colour he started to cry and couldnt stop.. today ie 2nd day was bad, the moment we step inside, he cling onto me and refuse to let go and keep crying haiz.. the teachers coax him to go change clothes and i slip away but i could hear him crying until the teacher brought him outside for a walk, i was hiding outside for 3 hrs before bringing him home and i tink he cried so long also.. very sad but no choice... got to give him some time to adapt, if he still cannot adapt maybe i will withdraw him
 
Roxy,
so u plan to let him attend 3hrs for how long?
The teacher told me its normal for bb to cry for
first few days lei. Not sure whether I can take it or not.

Think better don let daddy follow, else he sure ask to withdraw after 1 day.

Same as u, if he cannot adapt, will have to him him to pg which is 2 hrs.
 
Roxy,
Haha, no no, I'm nt ready for #2 yet. Let me try to forget my tramatic pregnancy n delivery by the next 2 yrs before I dare to plan. Anyway earliest I'll have #2 is Dragon baby, cos my hb pantang. Tiger bb nt gd for him, n rabbit bb nt gd for me. Only dragon n snake bb den good for us. So #2 plan is shelf for the moment. Hahaa...

Kindergarten is half day program but CC is full day program, tt's why I consider the cost expensive for St James, somemore the location is near CBD, plus the petrol cost to send her there, each mth will break down to an additional 200 plus for transport. Super ex for my case. Earlier on I was thinking of Chiltern House also, but considering the hrs, I think I'll juz send her to CC. Dun need to worry about the rest of the day where to desposit her.

Hi Cass,
Sorry to miss your post earlier. Sorry to hear abt your son. May I check with u which PD u had seen? Cos my gal's PD does specilized in these area and he is Dr Ong from SBCC TMC. Nt sure if U had seen him yet, another alternative PD tt specialize in this is Dr Ngiam from SBCC Gleneagles. My gal saw him when she had bronchitis in 2008.
 
Morning girls.

Roxy,
Thanks.. ahh.. I was thinking of finding a kindergarten within a church.
happy.gif

Shauna has been skipping school so very often. I am basically wasting my $$. -.o" This mornth, I think she went to school for barely 5 times. Pengz.. I hope things get better when I switched her to a new PG.

Connie,
Hoping to find one with transport lor. then again, cannot be too far away. So young must take school bus like very poor thing hor. Getting the maid to send to & fro wastes manpower and previous time. She will have to end up waiting a few hours for my girl outside the classroom, no point.
 
Zuen,
U can try Jurong Calvary lor. that day I saw the school bus at my void deck cos the grandpa pick the his grandchild.


Cass,
My son saw Dr Anne Cheong at jurong East clinic on 9 Feb due to cough n phegm. Manage to recover before CNY. He vomit for 2-3 days.
 
Morning ladies..

Roxy,
Err, ready for #2? Hmm...for me not, can't hv #2 yet though i wan cos i still hv 1.5yrs more to complete my degree lor..hiaz...so meanwhile, can give all my love to charlotte..hee =)..

I guess our kids need sometime to adapt to cc lor..Char will be starting 1st of march..Went to buy her uniform and bedsheet yesterday lor...Feeling excited for her but at the sametime, lots of worries, worried duno if she will eat well, duno if she will get bullied since she is e youngest there, duno if teacher got take gd care of her etc...haiz...
 
Zuen,Buttercup,poky,feiling,
Tmr we won't be going for the class cos need to go luohei with my parents and some other hse visitings lor...
 
Connie,
I called before. Jurong Calvary only got nursery wor, so must wait until 4 YO before they can start.

Feifei,
I shared your anxieties. I was worried cos Lil ZuEn is the youngest in her PG and I think not good unless the teacher gives her special attention. Some of the older kids can express themselves properly already.
 
Hi all,
1st day of work after a super long holiday... =)

Feifei,
we wont be going for the class too. also going house visitings =))) cya soon!

Feifei,
charlotte got the dreamy look...shes like looking at the cam and asking "Yes mummy?" so sweet... =)

my CNY is good though tiring...left home early n return home late hehe
how about urs!
 
Eve,
hehe, cos she falling asleep while waiting for us..haha...If onli next time she will really say Yes mummy..hehe..

Me too lor, everyday not enuff sleep...Now cny visiting more or less finishing, but i busy "cooking" at my facebook..even saw buttercup inside..hee
 
Feifei,
Soon she will say liao. hehehe.
When we went visiting, most of my relatives were asking if my boy starting talking yet... im also waiting. hehehe

facebook? is it cafe world? hehe =P
 
Zuen,
Oh, I see. When can enrol the nursery?
Ours is in June, so like very odd for their age. Pg is 2007/2008. SIL think too early for pg as my boy cannot talk yet. Many ple think I very kiasu lor if I sent him pg at this age. So CC is a good excuse to start wif since he is so naughty.

Feifei,
SAme as u. Too many worries abt the cc now.Food, sleep cry etc.. Also hope my boy won't get into fight in cc.

Just submitted leave form for March, once approved then will call the cc to arrange the date to start my boy there. Boss nvr come in today lor.



Roxy,
How is your boy today?
 
Connie,
haiz, guess we hv to let go when its time lor =)...See tera's boy is doing well in CH now =)...I guess they just need time =D.
 
Feifei,
U are right till u see the way they cry. Very kelian de.

I quite bad type lor, everytime he cry for things, I let him cry lor. Now don know where he learn, lie on the floor and cry. Wait he do the same in cc then I siao liao.
 
Connie,
my ger sometimes also do that lor, esp when we dun give her e tings she wan, i always try to distract her..Now worst thing is, when she angry she will beat ple lor..hiaz..
 
Thank Mummies for all the advises and recommendation for PD. I will bring him to see Dr Ong as recommended by some mummies and hopefully it the end of my nightmare.
 
feifei,
i think hor, better dun hide just in case she sees u and then when u really are not there anymore the next few days, she might still think u are hiding and try to look for u. this kind got to make a clean break, when u leave, u really got to leave. heart must be hard.
sad.gif


nice pic of char! soo sweet wor.
happy.gif


connie, feifei,
my boy, now when he's angry, he will sit down first and then proceed to lie on the floor but he will lower his head down very slowly. in fact, most times, he will choose to lie on the playmat, cos not painful. sometimes see already want to laugh but cannot. then sometimes, when we beat him, he will beat his own hand. sigh..

but over cny, i saw quite a few cases of failed discipline, so i think better start disciplining young.

feifei,
today my boy was happy to go school. but for the period that he was sick and din go school for a few days, when we brought him back, he was crying like it's his first day. jiat lat.
 
Tera,
True lor..cos hor, i am takign 2 days leave to bring her to cc so i am wondering shd i go in with her for 2 days?or go in 1 day with her, then the next day i hide outside and dun let her see me lor..haiz..

Tks ger..hehe =)...like Eve said lor, dreamy look..haha..

Haiz, me too lor, thats y the cane comes in lor.. I tink aft a long break, they won't wan to go cc hor...
 
Tera,
The fail discipline is how old?

Very hard to discipline at this age lei.
Me very paiseh loh. carry him, he can cont. to kick. beat him, SIL say too young to understand.

then open all the cabinets in my friend place, play the hi-fi and TV controller. Friend hubby just keep quiet. We left v early lor,scare he spoil the things. Somemore, haven't take nap, lucky worst.
 
Connie,
Nursery at 4 YO, pre-nursery at 3 YO. Some schools take in 2.5YO for pre-nursery. I tot PG is better than CC? Bcos the timing is shorter. PG only 2 hrs, CC normally half day and PG costs much cheaper than CC.
I am intending to sign Lil ZuEn up in one of the church pre-nursery, starting in Jan 2011 when she's about 2.5+YO.
happy.gif
Plan only lah. Duno will materialise or not. Lol!

Feifei,
My girl also cry like mad. My mum brought her to PG and ah mah heart soft, see her cry badly then bring home. That is why my girl is skipping school like mad now. Haha.
 
Zuen,
Like that v hard to put her to school lor. She will use same tactic daily.

The CC is full day at $350. PG is S$170 for 2hrs.
mean next yr our bb must go pre-nursery already?
Wonder by Jan, can he talk fluently or not.
 


Connie,
I guessed so. Actually only confirm K1 at 5YO (I think). Then the PG, pre-nursery and nursery is +/- de.
The PG that I signed my girl up is only $135/mth. My mum can still be the main caregiver and my maid is coming soon (crossed fingers and toes), so I am not short of caregiver. Sending her to school is only for her to pass time, give the caregivers some breathing space + let her socialise with other kids. So after I think, think, think, I decided to send her to the PG lor.
