There is a meeting session on next weekend so i will get to know more during tat session, i guess. I hope not drastic changes. Else change sch is v lei chey.

Doreamon t-shirt - i bot one at a kiosk near office, the building previously called Caltex house. But they only have 1 size.

 

[zuen]

I bought lil zuen to e barney show yday n she enjoyed herself so much! Encouraged her to jump n move around n it burnt quite some energy n we all had an early night last night. But a bit disappointed leh, I was looking forward to like free goody bags + more cast n nicer props. Anyway, she had a good time.

 

[feliciarosey]

<font color="aa00aa">ZuEn, free goodie? haha...
Well,to me the organiser is very good in doing business. I brought the torch for my gers and the quality is bad lor. My hubby have to changed twice for the torch as the light is not fully operated. And each is selling at $10, to me not cheap lor. So many parents (maybe all) is buying the stuffs for their kids, they sure earn a lot.
Btw my gers enjoy the show too. Then the 2nd half YuJie cannot sit still and walk to the aisle and keep jumping and jumping.
Ya, the booster seat was great!</font>

 

[ellysia]

Over the weekend we bot my boy to Airport and he had fun running around the big space.

 

[ndzgirl]

Barney show is disappointing i feel
The props looks cheapskate and backdrop changes so little.
I was yawning away. The vcds i bought were more entertaining for me.
And ya my girl was walking up and down the aisle too!

Hi,

Any mummies went down taka to buy mooncake?
any good recommend?

 

[ellysia]

Doreamon t-shirt - i bot $10 from amk neighbourhood shop.

Mooncake - I bot regent hotel plain lotus mooncake, v nice and smooth. Ordered goodwood park durian mooncake but haven't try yet. also bot vegetarian mooncake from Da Zhong Guo.

 

[zuen]

Felicia,
I told my hb to stop me if I wanted to buy any of e Barney stuff. Haha.

Nd,
Ya lor. E backdrop so low standard de. I also expected more but dd enjoys herself so I oso not much complained. I tot some of e cast will b kids, like in those barney vcds but all adults.

Roxy,
Not tat bad lah. I think my expectations too high cos I bought e 2nd cat tix, expensive leh. Hehe.

 

[zuen]

Roxy,
Where r u sending isaiah to? Which cc?

 

[ndzgirl]

same same i think we had too high expectations for the barney show. i did not really watch the show cos i was chasing after avril and watching her instead of the show.

i enjoy the vcds more.

agreed that i also thought cast will be those kids from the vcds, i feel the kids are actually more lively.

 

[eve~]

Hi Mummies,
yeah agree that the barney show is rather disappointing. hb say props v cheapskate lor. heheh. vcd is much nicer. prob low budget in asia countries?

ohya i just came across an article. didnt know that antibiotics should be avoided lor. my pd has been prescribing antibiotics to my boy for few times lor. sigh
do ur kiddos take antiobiotics too?

see below:
Why doesn't the doctor prescribe antibiotics for my toddler's cold?
http://www.babycenter.com/404_why-doesnt-the-doctor-prescribe-antibiotics-for-my-toddlers_11677.bc

 

[ellysia]

Antibiotics is only for disease? I heard tat its not effective for virus. so not all the time shd be prescribed. I remember 1 doc ever explain to us tat antibiotic is only effective at certain illness.

U can take probiotics during the course of antibiotics so tat the healthy bacteria will not be killed off.

 

[bewildered]

Hi Mummies,


Apologies but am searching for a Babysafe Mattress for baby.. Do pm me if you've any to let go, with the condition, dimensions, pictures etc.

Appreciate it lots and thanks! =)

 

[connie_lcl]

Roxy
can u recall which bp for e doreamon?
Search kl , can only find soft toy.

Ellysia
which shop in amk? Can recall e location?

Cc
another 3 case of chicken pox. Haiz

 

[angellove75]

Connie,

There is a Doreamon store at Chinatown point. Everything from children's plastic chair, t-shirts, slippers...are all there.

 

[ellysia]

Went for the briefing by the new owner of the cc my boy is attending. Fees will be increase by $100, plus need to buy uniform etc. Uniform looks simple material but cost not cheap. Sianz.

 

[zuen]

Ellysia,
Wah, increase fees by so much ah.

 

[crystal~07]

hi ladies,

anyone interested???
http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/449183/4513807.html?1285034137

 

[ndzgirl]

ya agreed, increase by $100 is really a lot

 

[ellysia]

Ya lor! parents are complaining during the briefing.

We only feel the impact of $50 increase, bec' our boy is currently taking kindermusik as enrichment. The new owner will have their own music program as core program so no need to pay for enrichment. But i wonder how good is their music program, cos kindermusik is still more established i tink and my boy enjoyed kindermusik and can see improvements. So i hope he will like the new music program.

I wonder whether any parents will change school. But we still prefer to stay put, however will review depending on future changes. Cos i find it difficult to change sch once he gets adapted to the environment. Now after subsidy have to pay close to $600 p.m.

 

[saggitarius]

Hi Mummies,

I had bot wrong size, will like to let it go at $20.

So angry. Purchase air ticket thru Jet star, if pay by credit card need faciliating fee of $6/head. Pay by SAM m/c no need.

[newbbi79]

Hi all..

Ellysia,
Oh dear...hows ur boy?

 

[ellysia]

Yes it is HFMD

He showed no fever and no rashes upon going in school, but develop it later in the day. Sch said he is the first case, so i guess he must have gotten it elsewhere.

Doc gave 10 days MC and have to see doc again after 10 days to get the letter to go back sch.

He having fever past 2 days, then ulcers in the mouth make him hard to swallow food.. so been giving barley water and try to squeeze in water as much to prevent dehydration. moreover now he is no longer taking any BM and has no FM to take so can only take solids.

 

[ellysia]

I am not able to take leave these 2 days due to work contingency.. sianz. worried abt him in office. sianz.

Then recently work v stressed..

I dare not tell my boss tat my boy is sick bec the last few times i took urgent leave when he is sick, my boss ored complained and say "how come yr boy always get sick".. etc.

 

[newbbi79]

Ellysia,
Oh dear...u can try to give him ice cream leh..can he drink UHT milk?give him jucies as well ya...or anything that he wants so now hv to prevent dehydration leh..hmm...Any idea where he could hv got it from? Playground?

[roxyz]

feifei...crying and sick

how's little char? has she recovered?

Ariel got diagnosed with grade 3 reflux and specialist recommended putting her on 2 yrs antibiotics to prevent kidney scarring... anyone has any experience with this?

 

[ellysia]

I brew barley water and ask hb to give yest, then today we put at MIL house so MIL will give him also.

He has dairy and soy allergy and hasn't been taking FM or any milk since i wean off recently. Totally on solids. during these 2 days where his appetite is bad due to the ulcers, we tried to gave him juice and barley water.

Also tried not to bring him out in case he spread to others. we adults also have to be v careful cannot kiss him n wash hand more frequently esp after changing diapers.

 

[ndzgirl]

oh dear, pray that the sick children will get well soon!

 

[connie_lcl]

Ellysia,
HOpe he recover soon. So for the past 2 weeks, there is no HFMD in CC? REal headche when urs don take milk if appetite down, then what he want just give loh. PD always say that to me.

Roxy,
Frien told me no matter which cc u bring your child, 6 months is the min to get immune. Start new Cc, new cycle continue. Hope yours recover soon. Mine 7 mths in cc still back with cough n running nose. haiz.

 

[ellysia]
