bbP, rebonding works. my hair was messy, curly and basically, unmanageable. I rebond like almost every year.. once i see my curl coming.. i will go rebond... haha.. it keeps the hair, straight, easy to manage loh.. but hor, will look flat flat loh.. hee..
 
do1nk,
Re doggie leash - I think it doesn't quite work yet, cos I tried it on Declan and he just fell over. Simply because they don't understand that they have to STOP when they feel the leash pulling. So he just keeps straining until he loses his balance and tips sideways.

All rebonding sisters:
Please recommend your salons!
 
bbP, I only go to one stylist for many years already ... previously she was with Reds at Parkway, then late last yr she opened her own salon at marine parade central so i go to her all the time. too far for you?
 
i am a rebonding queen. I have done it at quite a number of places but the best for me is still Reds at Bugis. recently because i didn't want to travel to bugis and went online to search for a good one near bishan/amk and went to one supposedly good one at amk hub, barely 2 months later, my curls came up liao.

but Reds is a bit more pricier lah.

bbG

congrats on little bbG walking! mine is still showing no traces of doing that yet, so i shall just be patient. hehe!

Kayden also dunno how to suck from straw.
the speech therapist recommend to give them packet drinks and then squeeze the juice out. eventually they start learning.
Kayden is practicin now..

I heard from pd that gaps between teeth are good..this ensures that the jaw will have enuff space when their milk teeth drop and grow their adult teeth.

Any mummies beatin their noti babies??
I think i need to buy cane... kayden has a thick skin.. he likes to climb onto dangerous places..and i beat until his skin red, he just laugh.. or pretend to cry.. very diff to discipline...
 
Michelle,
Chill... remember that our babies take their own sweet time. They cannot be rushed. Anyway, I have a friend whose kid totally skipped straw cup, and he pours his water into a cup to drink! So no problem!

Hmm, seems like Reds is a popular rebonding place.
Can email me venue and rough price? Need to get myself mentally ready for the cost.

i can't quite remember. but i think they will recommend a conditioning treatment after, and a haircut is about $45, so i think i typically pay like $200-250 for one trip, that is after a discount when i use my citibank credit card i think.
 
doggiebb,
Pweet! My wallet will cry. Maybe in a few months time or when I get part of my first paycheck on the 25th this month.
What's the maintenance like? I have a feeling I will waste my money cos of my laziness in maintenance.
 
ahh mine will last 1 yr at least and mine is like super duper stubborn and the curls will spring up every chance they get.

but after the rebonding, such bliss! no need style, just wash hair in the morning, comb and off i go. and its silky soft and straight! such neatness! muahahah!
 
smiggle,
this might help

are you scared of hurting Kayden in your discipline?

YAY to bbG walking!

rebonding
my hair is naturally wavy, so no amt of rebonding helps. i might try for fun one day bcz have never ever rebonded my hair. sekali look like scared straight!

michelle,
C hasnt tried to drink fm straw, bcz I havent bought a cup with straw for him yet! now he drinks directly fm cup with me holding the cup carefully so that it doesnt spill tooooo much.
 
bbp
i dont do rebonding cos i think its too flat for me, instead i do a relaxer. its more natural i think..

Cellow
im worried that he gets used/immune to the beatings.. plus he really testin my patience.
So far everyone comments that he is too active and diff to behave.
 
bbp,

I usually do mine in Malaysia. This year cos no time i did in Jantzens..not so good. Rebonding needs no maintenance, just a comb will do!
happy.gif
Worth every cent!

If you are scared your hair turn out too flat, tell them not to rebond from the roots, do it one inch away from the roots..

smiggle,
seems like u need a more effective way than beatings then. i dun beat C bcz discovered that he thinks i m playing w him, and well, physical violence from a bigger person to smaller person is just wrong in my mind. one day, he will be taller and stronger than me, then wat? still chase him around with the cane meh. or he ends up beating me??

story from when i was 15 yo. my chinese tuition teacher had a 20+ yo son who played rugby --> he is tall plus has biceps. she is so petite that he can prob lift her up with his arms. one day, one of the primary school kids asked her (this is group tuition), lao shi, arent you scared benny - her son - will beat you up?
she answered, haiyooor, if he does, then i have failed to teach him already.

there is always a balance between being too permissive, having the kids call the shots, and being the stern regimented and rigid army office at home.

serious topic. have been thinking abt discipline bcz I struggle with how to best set rules for C... and nx time, how he treats his younger sib. guess the answer is to love love love C1 and C2, tease them and distract them, i reckon

yayy! got my tix for babies prom! not fantastic seats but I'm not complaining! tix are selling like hot cakes! who else is going and which slots did you girls pick? so excited! :D
 
rebonding,
I did mine with my hairdresser who was with essensuals and moved to kenaries at wheelock place. Short hair cost abt 160+ i think (forgot le) .. hair cut 60 :p .. cost me a bomb but i dun trust anyone else with my hair anymore after knowing her!!! Just pray hard she dun increase price anymore


*back to work .. busy busy
 
my gosh,
the babies prom tickets for Sat are going really fast! only single tickets are avail.
i forgot completely abt it in the excitement of last week, discovering i m pregnant and all!

*back to work as well, actually chairing a meeting now, sian
 
hey I'm not pregnant and I forgot all about it too! got the sat 1030am tix and onli single seats left.. hubby's working anyway.. so it will be me and bbG only!

doggiebb: have you been to it before? bringing both T's? ya.. the friday tix have more available..coz need to take leave bah
 
bbG

i went last year! it was great fun! the children can clap and dance to the music and can follow the conductor on a march around the concert hall. at the end, they will be invited up the stage to inspect the instruments! oh and there are pre-concert activities as well. last year there was a balloon sculptor there! and yes bringing both Ts!
 
doggiebb: is the hall gigantic and are the back seats really far away? I got the 3rd last row tix!
sad.gif


did you go for the activities b4 the event?

smiggle: you bought $2.40 packet drink for kayden? keke
 
bbG

victoria concert hall is tiny so no worries at all. besides you won't be at your seat for too long, you will be hauling little bbG all over the hall, running here and there! yeah just turn up early and little bbG can enjoy all the preconcert activities!
 
oh ya.. my 'think-it's-still-pregnant' brain totally forgot... HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY BBP JIEJIE! hope you had a fantabulous day!
 
haha... split personality huh..

ok 'think-it's-preggie' brain has to be mine.. but if I were to call u jiejie means u r older than me.. which is impossible.. (geez am I really dat old haha)

can't wait to dash home to my little baby!
 
bbP, I did my rebonding about $150, that includes trimming also.. and that time, i had slightly shorter than shoulder length hair, now so long liao, still straight..
happy.gif
 
Was at KKH A&E jus now, quite fast service n not bad experiance.

But had a very bad scare from Ember at my parents place. She climbed up a chair n stood up behind me when I sat on the floor reading papers. I turned saw her n screamed at her cos I was shocked. N think I scared her too cos she quickly stood down but the chair was unbalanced n she fell backwards. Hit the back of her head as i didn't manage to catch her.
But when I carry her up, she couldn't cry out n turned abit of purple I was so scared keep calling her. My parents both rushed over n carried her too trying to get her out of it n got me to call the ambulance. A while after I put the phone down E managed to cry out n was crying n crying so my dad called to cancel the ambulance service while I called n screamed at my hubby to drive over to send us to the hospital.

Thankfully the wait was not long and Ember seems to slowly start being normal and smiling n laughing n drinking n calling us......sigh
Really heave a BIG sigh of relief man. But still have to monitor her for 24 hrs for any abnormal signs.........
Really really scared the hell out of me so much so that I'm surprised I remember what number to call for the ambulance.
 
Jsp
Wah ur hubby know hw to configure aah?? N Ernest got kicked out from your room already aah??.....hehehe
Yah lor D sometimes.....not sure if still pain cos he dun say pain liao but he will still go toilet more then once and right after his milk he will go maybe sit there let out gas only. But PD say dun need to stop his milk this time leh.......see hw bah cos tml might wanna bring him go tui na see if it helps.

SY
D's 1st time was not good.....as in I tot he would sleep on the plane as we purposly took the early early flight n woke him early. BUT BUT BUT.....he refused to sleep at all....sigh so poor us also never sleep. N he was so excited he only naps like 10mins n wake to kpo all over so he was cranky too on the bus to the hotel n worse our hotel was the last few lor. So now I'm so wary of flights.....haha

Self feeding
Ember did the ultimate of self feeding jus now. She took the whole Gerber puff container, use 1 hand to pull open the covern proceed to feed herself.....hahaha
But cos the container was less then half full, she poured everything out on the bed so she take n eat them.....kwa kwa kwa

do1nk
hahaha I was asking my hubby if it will look funny if I use those retractable dog leash on D.....hahaha

bbp
Yah lor now still abit hard to use cos I only really start using on D when he was abt 2 yrs old cos I scared n think he will fall flat on his face if I hold on to the leash when I stop walking.
 
babies prom
gosh i forgot about it today coz i had a doc's appt in the morning. now i check, only sat morning 10.30am has single seats left. i don't know if i want to attempt to bring pomfret myself. sigh.
 
Bbp,
My friends recommended Papilio Salon to me during school days and I have been going back to them ever since. They are not v expensive. For my long hair, I paid 120 inclusive of hair cut. You should try rebonding if you have unmanageable hair. it really makes a lot of difference.

dor, thats super scary!!! Hope ember is fine!
 
bbp,

Your hair is the dry type har... well, rebonding can give it a fake sense of healthiness - the sheen of the hair after rebonding...
happy.gif
You have to choose a reputable salon, they will put protective chemicals on your hair first before rebonding. Anything chemicals is hurtful to the hair. you dun use conditioner even on normal days?

Eh...if you worry abt hair being unmanageable, curls is defintely out. You have to put lotion on the hair and scrunge it every morning. very troublesome. I tried and regretted. And if your hair is the dry type, the curls will just look like flyaway hair. So I don't think curls is for a fuss free hair time.
happy.gif


SmiggleP,

I have never been to any free play gym, but I asked Grace Kids, it is an instructed course. There is also fun time with bubbles. Rhythm in Me is a music class that has PERCUSSION instruments. Wuffy is bangin gon everything he sees in the house - pots, pans, bowls, toys.. thought he would probably like percussions. haha..

Want to join?
happy.gif


SY,

okie..this sat I will call you! What time will you be at your mum's place to? I bringing wuffy for the gym class, so will probably go after that. U still have desitin rite? how much huh? Can I have 1 tube?

Jacelyn,

JG not having trials next week. they are starting new term, and their regulations do not allow trial babies during start of term.
sad.gif


Grace Kids,

I will go book the slots by Friday, so who is keen let me know okie?
 
dor dor,

Ember must have had a great shock! You also must have had a great shock when you see her turning purple.. wah liao, I can imagine the level of panic for me!
 
dor dor

sounds so scary! *pat pat you first then pat pat ember*

Actually, i was told by the doc at kkh the other time must monitor 72 hrs after a fall to make sure everything is ok.

batgirl: is it a pte trial or what? must gather min. no of pple?
 
batgirl
i have desitin. it's $9.70. i will bring one for u.

mummies
scholastic book order form is here! will upload the titles tonight and see whether any mummies interested.

just now i brought jx to view a kindy. she was really happy and running all over the place. and she was so LOUD. the principal commented that she is very active for a gal. she was really moving non stop. was shifting their stools all over the place and running everywhere.and the best part? when we were talking, she actually took a chair and climbed up and stood on it. think she was at least standing there for 5 sec before i realise. lucky she din fall. the principal did comment that jx is quite good at taking instructions. so maybe she's ready for class!!

but she's terrible. always shouting when we are out. now really quite embarassing to bring her out...

bbG
wanted to tell u. we bought this purifier from home fix and it seems quite good. after using for one day, jh stopped coughing. it doesn't use filters. it uses some electroplates to trap dust. no filter better.

re bb doggie leash
i have one for JH. he actually liked it and i brought him for 'walks' quite funny.

dordor
poor ember. hope she's better. must monitor for 72 hours right? sometime i think we end up scaring our kids when we too concern for them. last time jh took up my shot glass and i was so afraid that he will break it and hurt himself tat i shouted at him to put down and in the end he dropped it.

re bb prom
i wanted to go but my fren told me no good tickets. by the time she checked on the first day of private sale, most good seats are taken...


smiggle
my hb believes in spare the rod, spoil the child, once they turn 1 year old he wll not hesitate to cane if needed. but we dun use the real cane we use balloon stick. for me i dun believe in caning and i only started to use the cane when jh was 2 years plus and that was only cos he was testing my patience and with 2 kdis to handle, the fastest way to stop any nonsense is cane. but again, i find timeout more effective. when they are slightly older, u can get a naughty chair and put him there for timeout.

jx has gotten and few 'caning' from my hb for climbing out of the chair repeatedly and she did stop. nut she only stops when my hb is ard....
 
hello mummies.. finally can post..

was on mc the last 2 days due to flu.. whole body aching in pain..

bbp
I also had to rebond my hair every year.. I hate spending half day sitting in the saloon. But it's definantly worth it as hair will be more manageable.
I did curl before.. It's tedious to maintain. Gotta apply gel and curl with fingers after every wash..

Babies prom
me booked the tickets at 12midnight sharp, 15/09/09. Managed to get the front seats but it's the left corner. Will be going on fri, 1030.

dor dor
that was scary... hope ember is ok now..

SY
same same.. hao ran shouts when we brought him out.. think they were just too excited? But I'm irritated with those teenagers who echo hao ran's shouting.. like mocking at him..
 


finally can post liao.
don know what happen eariler.
can post lehz.

polliwogs
Do we just pay a sum and then play all day long?
or is there a limit?

rebonding
seems like red is popular...
i have always been wanting to straighten the hair. but i want a natural effect.
don like flat flat kind. or the ends too straight. like got no life like that
very fussy i know. thats why my hair is still curly...

dor
oh no... turning purple... it must be really scary...
*big hug to mummy*
if she is doing as per normal should be ok ba
what did the doc say?

rhythm in me.
the other time when we had the mega bash, i was told that this is more into music and all.
my gym is more physical...
