hi momzies.. how's your monday so far?
me drowning at work but then again.. work is endless huh?
I join mich in kok-ing cellow's head.. you are already almost on part time mode so should treasure that.. unless u feel u still do not have enough time with the kiddos.. i hear many people who switch to part time or 3/4 but end up with same amount of work, but just the pay and benefits being halved or 3/4-ed...
got enough annual leave to work a 4 day week too.. so will use that to console myself and cherish the time I have with bbG too..
playgroup teachers: do not expect them to sing like julie andrews or speak the queen's english.. but hmm.. think I'll take a chill pill for now.. til i next can't tahan again haha.. after all, he finally stopped crying too!
wah mich start so soon?? didn't you just decide?i would have picked the former.. wonder if u did too..all the best on the first day!
preschool at upper thomson.. how about the one that doggiebb & youpi's kiddos are going to now? marymount?
guess what... got some hand-me-down underwear for gordon and decided to put it on him.. and voila! no pee in undies at all but of course there was the I WANNA GO PEE every 5 minutes! (almost, initially!) so proud of my little kiddo! was bracing myself for another battle (i've stil not weaned him off the milk bottle!) but hey...

Zombie mummy checking in
We're trying to get Poppy to sleep on her own but she has different ideas. Last night she tried all kinds of tactics - crying, blackmail, requests for milk/water/blanket/lights... Finally fell asleep at 1140pm!!!
Then woke up many times in the night saying "I want mummy". Oh my heart. Finally had to bring her in bed with us (super duper going gostan on the sleep training!!) cos she wet her bed.
Thankfully BB and I are in this together. Not like the last time when he left me to be the bad guy then totally spoiled my efforts by going in to lie with her. Sigh. Step by step, night by night!!

I just brought Sebi to USS last week. There is no entry fee for him but he could only take 3 rides at most. The carousel from Madagascar, which Sebi loved and we lined up 4-5 times, the flying dinosaurs at Jurassic Park and there's this short car ride in the Mummies section. Other than that, there are the many photography sessions with Kungfu Panda, Woody Woodpecker and the animals from Madagascar. Do check out the timings as they are not always there. Besides that, walking around and just exploring was fun. We also watched the people who were taking the rollercoaster like Battlestar Galactica and screamed together with them
We went in the morning and left around 4pm when Sebi was too tired and needed his afternoon nap. If you are deciding to take a room, Festive Hotel is reasonably priced and their pull out sofa bed can fit 2 kids or 1 adult and 1 kid(or 2 adults if they don't move much). Remember to use the Hard Rocks pool as there is a man-made beach and waterplay area + slide suitable for our kids.

Agree about the amount of work staying the same despite the reduction in hours, unless there are others to help you out with the workload or you need to be on standby.
Mich
Congrats on your decision and new job. How was your first day? I personally think you'll be glad with your decision. You're so very involved in Eboy and when he starts having to study and do homework, you'll be happy that you can spend that extra time coaching him too. All the best in the new environment. What is CH?
PB
*pat pat* This is new for Poppy, she needs time to adjust... jia you jia you! Sebi is also taking steps back cos now in Spore he can only sleep with Gong Gong or me next to him. He will NOT sleep alone
Toilet training
Sebi is far far away from it. He doesn't even tell us when he poos. We keep reminding him but it feels like we're talking to the wall. I just got him a potty ... let's see.
Nursery/Kindergarten
I'm still on the lookout. Any mummies here living in the east with recommendations? Thanks!

I survived my first day!!! Bored to death, almost!!! After doing all the admin and it's only 940am and I had to sit around read doc, surf on my iPhone (and thick skin to borrow charger cos I firgot to bring) then finally lunch. Did shopping at city hall (=CH) during lunch and back to office only 1.30 nia. No computers, no notebook only docs on an empty table alllllll the way till 630!!! You all asleep yet?
Well, Zheng hu gang first day is like that one... I suppose I should treasure my honeymoon period. Ha ha.
CH lunch, one for one crepe at out of yhe pan, anyone??????
Pb, how we trained eboy was to start with his door open and we sit outside till he fell asleep, then slowly we move further and further away and he's willing to let us sit 'outside' his room (but we're already back in our room Hee Hee) everynight and will say goodnight tp us outside and go in the room himself (I.e. He leave us, not we leave him in the room), slowly slowly he will go tp bed on his own, within a week. Oh and yes, with doors open until fall asleep. T

We changed plan tonight. Milk, stories, singing then I said ok no more talking, it's sleeping time not talking time. I explained I wouldn't be lying down with her but would sit near till she fell asleep then I'll go out. She protested a little then fell asleep singing to herself. No crying at all. High five myself!
Tomorrow I'm planning to move my butt a foot closer to the door. And closer and closer till total success.
Yikes your first day sounded long! But most first days are like that la hor?
Youpi
Glad you managed to clear it up with the parent!
DD
No no! Where got sleeping without Diapers? What she said was just tactic of trying to get us to stay with her longer!
Biz is ok but can always be better you want to help me intro to friends? *flutter eyelashes*

Anger mgt
C1 has been acting up ever since Sat. Only w us, the parents. Mr C lost his temper last night... I had to come out of the room unlatching C2 to calm the storm.
Later I wrote him a note that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results. And even I was scared when he raised his hand to C1 while I was carrying C1, let alone a small person. I held C1's hand, well basically I slept next to him until he went to sleep. Sing song, talk talk talk to the toys. Children forget so fast.... but this adult is still stewing at the other adult.
I was so mad that I stayed up till 1am to do work and din get to sleep until 2am.
Can you understand why I am so mad?
afterwards I felt like shaking Mr C, threatening to smack him and all, see how he likes that. but of course that scenario would only happen in my dreams!
sparrows,
C1 is at little school house at mountbatten. the teachers are very caring. language leaves a lot to be desired but hey like PB says, I cannot affort 3k for superb diction/grammar for the teachers. so be it then. chinese is taught by a PRC, so still ok.

Cellow,
*pat pat*
I'm guilty of Mr C's behaviour too. Sometimes I get so angry that I have to hit something else (eg. pillow, wall, etc) just so that I won't take it out on my boy. I'm not proud of my behaviour but if I can't admit to fellow mothers, who else can I admit it to right? It just gets me so mad when he doesn't listen to instructions that I know very well that he can follow. It was only after reading some articles on the strong-willed child that I sort of realised that my own obstinateness was probably encouraging/verifying his own. So now, I try to step back and pick my battles. I hope my efforts are obvious, but I think I better go get feedback from Mr bbp.

bbp,
i m guilty of Mr C's behaviour too.
overall i try to manage my own anger away from the boys' sight and hearing. yes i have ever punched a pillow, punching the wall hurts my fist big time (yes, i have tried that before too).
now i m even madder that i lost sleep over it and have a full day's of work ahead of me.
i feel a major bout of mad coming.
need to find smthing soft to punch. or just jump rope.
no i m not in office today, but at home, so i can decide how to act out.

Anyone using high-end hair products such as High Hair, Biotouch, Sebastian, and SP Care products? I got lobang - 40% off Retail SRP. I don't know how good the discount is cos I don't use. I haven't even heard of most of these products! But just sharing lobang la.
Cellow
Hehe I can understand your cousin's angst. Parenthood does bring out the primate in us.
Bbp
I totally understand. We all need an outlet for our anger. Remember I asked some time ago what everyone does to for a release? Cos sometimes I feel so ARGH that I need to punch a wall or scream into a pillow. Then I found that throwing bags of frozen peas on my kitchen floor worked perfectly hehe.
Youpi
If you ever go for Bernard's class, be prepared! My legs are like jelly now. But Fun la

cellow. Re: bullies
I think its natural protective instinct. There was once when my 7yo nephew was shoved roughly aside by a boy of his same age cos that boy wants to get into a tuition center. I immediately shouted at that boy, then quickly reminded my nephew to shout for attention if something like that happens. Turned out that boy father was nearby and he quickly apologized to us. Feels great

yes indeed, while you are fuming away, mr C might already have forgotten. i've finally realized that if i keep fuming at mr dustee, i'm the one losing out, coz he's dropped the issue already.
stewing matters inside you is not gonna change matters either.
zen story about monks
2 zen monks were walking along. reached a river, and there was a lady who couldn't cross the river without getting wet. so the first monk carried the lady on her back and crossed the river. the second monk , shocked, followed behind.
along the way, the second monk kept debating the issue in his mind. finally, he couldn't take it anymore and he asked the first monk "wasn't it wrong for you to carry the lady just now? we're monks, we're not supposed to touch them"
to which the first monk, surprised, replied "i have put down the lady long ago. why are you still carrying her in your mind?"
ommmm.
sick pomfret
a boy coughed in her face in church, and now she's got a high fever. our kids are like petri dishes. the bacteria thrives.
different degrees of hypochondria
eh, this 2 yo , fell down a flight of about 5 steps in church. his lips were swollen, his nose was bleeding, cheeks were blue-black. if it were me, i would have left mass right away, hailed a cab and ride straight to an A&E.
but his parents? nope, didn't bat an eyelid. didn't bring him to see doc even though he wouldn't drink milk the next day.
and then i couldn't bear to keep asking about his condition anymore, coz i spend so much time worrying about that boy!

dustee,
so zen, i hv heard that one before. and apply it to mothering C1... esp when C1 makes me want to jump up and down like a psycho.
i just got onto IM w Mr C
"C1 makes me angry as much as he does you.
Stomp off downstairs tonight after dinner if you feel like you need to blow. The children do not need to see/hear our psychotic episodes."
and received a concise "ok" in response.
re 2yo battered and bruised due to a fall. the parents are so cool they are almost frozen?!
crystal, hi5 to fellow frazzled mum!

cellow - mr cellow sounds like my hb.. i wld type long message abt wat i felt or wat we sld do.. and get an 'ok'.. sometimes e 'ok' makes me feel o-k.. sometimes e ok results in me sending him many long messages abt how he cannot just say 'ok' but needs to tell me wat he thinks.. etc etc etc.. oopz//
Ok ok. Super random intro of topic to hopefully put a smile on frazzled mummies' faces:
Remember the 80s song "zhe xie ri zi yi Lai"? During the time when boys looked like girls in mushroom hairstyles and girls had big pong pong permed hairs and super cartoon sweet voices? Wo shi bu shi gai Li Kai ni....
I just put a VERY old CD on (my 2nd oldest cos I couldn't find my deng lijun!) to make my afternoon of housework a bit easier
What were you doing when this song was playing on the radio? I was probably sitting by my radio with a blank cassette popped in, with my finger on the record button
Enjoy the memories, mummies!
Housework mummy, out!

I like the ban... I know what the hubby's response to the ban would be... "ok".

Mich,
It takes time. Or you got to be shameless and self-invite yourself to lunches.
SY,
This is the only Potion 9 I found - Potion 9 Lite Lightweight Wearable Treatment Styler 150ml. Is it the correct one?

michelle - are you a "boss" in yr new job? bosses seldom hv friends one la it's really funny cos everytime there's a dept meeting, there will be several empty seats next to my boss and same when we are attending courses, the table where my boss sits will have the least persons ..my boss is totally aware of this (hard not to!) and she always says "i wont bite or I am not here the whole day, so you guys need not worry"

When I first arrived most mistook me as one of the officer and came up to me and told me 'hey there's this mtg later you can join!' so well, friendly.... Then the hr lady announced later that afternoon about me and my post and suddenly, everyone started treating me like alien. No they don't report to me, I have no staff report to me yet and they belong to other department but hey, I'm friendly lah!!!! I'm not their boss, I very fun to be with one you know... Talk to me people!!!!
After that I approached a few of them to ask certain things, they are so stiff and serious. Aiyoooo, how do I break the ice? How how how?

Let me know if the amount I transfered is correct ok?
Mich
Aww the first couple of days are tough. Make friends with peers? Or Chia your team out one by one (if it's a small team) or by small groups so you can get to know them. It'll also allow you to know them personally and learn about their styles and vice versa.
DD
Me too! I also used to copy lyrics!
Music classes
BB believes that playing a musical instrument makes a child smarter. I don't know where he plucked that from but I don't think poppy will sit still long enough for a proper class. So I'm just gonna let her play with home made guitars and maracas for now

Who is Bernard and what class does he conduct? If it is one of those 'siong' ones I won't be there yet. I can hardly survive a low impact class at the moment... *pant pant*
Bbp
L's teacher told me that when the rest of the class is listening to stories etc, L is usually playing elsewhere. He will only join in on his own after he's played enough.
Dustee
Those parents are so cool they're scary. I'd freak out.

SY,
Sure, I send you the list.
youpi,
See, told you you're balm for my soul. I already feel more at ease.
Did the teacher feedback to you or you asked?

Thanks for the info on preschool! I'll definitely pass it to my friend.
strong-willed children
Emma is one. Once she throws a fit, she will just shut down everything. Nothing we say or do, (even punishment) can have an effect on her. She recently refused to eat/drink anything before school and didn't want to brush teeth. I was sick yesterday so Mr SD is taking her to school and for the first time he lost his cool in front of Emma. She cried and cried and Mr SD couldn't take it and gotten really angry. Aiyo but this girl was still very stubborn. In the end we send her to the corner. Lucky this morning she behaves cuz we reminded her that she will be sent to the corner again if she becomes monster girl.
She is good at avoiding answers.
Me: Do you want to be monster girl or sweet girl?
Emma: I'm a mouse, not girl!
Me: Ok do you want to be monster mouse or sweet pretty mouse?
Emma: I'm a dragon, not mouse
and it goes on and on... *rolls eyes*
Bullies
Ashley got bullied many times when she's in primary one. she was the only child then and basically interacted only with us and several friends in kindergarten. Her thought would be there are only nice people in this world. So when there's a bully she couldn't handle it.
DD
The others are too expensive for water bottle. I bought one from Disney Hongkong and it's already broken. Now I settled with Lock and Lock. They have cute design now and bpa free. Costs less than 10 bucks. Got the straw but Emma didn't like it. so I took the straw off.

They probably not sure yet are therefore they're just being careful. Just be yourself and I believe they will find sooner or later, that you are a friendly person!
