well the beach activities is better for older kids, but for smaller kids like ours, there are several places: Bali Safari park, Bali bird park and also waterbom park. Some restaurants have paddy fields nearby, and if you are staying at the resort there are kids club where they organise activities for the kids (whole day/half day).

Michelle
Congrats on the promotion. Hmmm no salary adjustment? I hate it when that happens.

Universal Studios
anything good for our little kiddos? Worth the tickets? I mean for me, since the little ones don't need to pay.
 


Michelle,

Like for my hubby if he can only reach home after 2am he must sms me beforehand to let me know. Else I will blow up at him lor.

Sigh........really lor my ELDEST son ma.

hi mummies!
haven't been online for a while!

esquare
omg! congrats on e-cube! praying for your safe pregnancy, and baby-girl-dust to you too!

potty training
how do i start? alamak. she cries when i try to put her over the toilet bowl. but recently she's been so constipated! today the pd just gave me some constipation-relieving meds for her to take for the next 6 weeks. boohoo.

pb
eh sometimes i feel like going for marriage counseling too! so it's very tragic when friends talk to me about their marital issues coz i'd start getting depressed too! hope your friends work out their issues

steph
hey great to hear from you! i think i am a bit depressed too. esp when the supposed due date is approaching. yikes. but i think i'll give myself some more time before i try again. want to let pomfret start childcare at 2yo first. but i do think that sometimes you just never feel ready to get pregnant again, but when you do get pregnant, you'll find that you're more ready than ever! know what i mean?

michelle
could you pm me your blog pls? gosh i would love to visit hokkaido one day too! and congrats on your promotion! but gosh, was it one of those 'title-only' promotion? that's tragic but hopefully the money follows soon.

cellow
i do think i'll come visit again. pomfret was so grouchy the last time i felt a sheer lack of courage to stay longer at your place. would have loved to chatting more about parenting. and gosh c1 is such a handsome boy! really very adorable. mb next time round chet will come along too.
 
youpi
u going for the open house? i wan to go but hb not keen... it looks fun. he thinks i m bo liao

re musuem
yeah there's a lot of activities but hb never keen to go for any of them....sian...

holly
your hb really comes back late. next time with 2 kids cannot already.....
 
Cin,
thanks! I will stay or at least try to stay positive and enjoy myself! Vegas here I come!

Ok, that's me signing off at the airport! Adios amigos! Wish me luck!

i call her at week 6 to book her n she been pushing me to others. this is the 3 person she push me to. i very angry ah!!!!
 
have a safe flight and good trip, BBP!

oh remember a while back i was talking about "fakeness" with regards to my playing with poppy? i think the word i was looking for was "superficial". but we had a mum-baby outing today with another mum-baby pair, and it made me feel like a SAHM again. so all is well again
happy.gif


had so much fun at the museum! and we didn't even go into any of the galleries even though they were free hehe
 
Pb
what did u do at the museum?

Sometimes i get so frustrated with hb. i want to plan outings for the kids but he's always not keen and just ask me to bring them myself...

HELP!

Eboy seems to have suddenly become more assertive and gaining his independence. Its so hard to get him to do stuff when he does not want to, it will end up with him screaming, crying and sometimes, he will throw things. LIke so bad temper! Is this the so-called terrible-2 and what do I do? most times I force him to do it (like changing clothes/diaper) and he will br crying throughout and when I finish, he will stop and carry on playing... but its wierd why such behaviour suddenly develops!! HELP needed!!!
 
yup mich!

the terrible-2s have descended on you. mine has been bombing and beating me, throwing things when he doesn't want to do what we tell him to. sometimes we try to coax and distract, if it doesn't work, we force and then try to distract from the crying.

but both him and talia have quite a mild case i would say and distraction and coaxing normally works.
 
doggie, mich,
bosco too.. he already showing his terrible 2 symptoms.. crying whenever we dun give watever he wan to him n he will walk away n ignore me if he dun wan do certain things i ask him to.. headache eh..
 
hubby could not controll himself one night and hit his hand hard. Eboy cried frantically and uncontrollably so much so that he wanted me to carry him throughout and then slowly cried to sleep.. made hubby guilty to the max. now, everytime when eboy knows he is naughty himself, he will make the "hit his hand" gesture. I dun particularly accept or condone this method, just that what is the right age to do some form of harsh discipline, only to make sure it drills in instead of negative impact... heeelllppppp...
 
michelle,

when u post tat, it looks exactly wat my mei mei is behaving now! only these days whenever we change her it a chore noe. it like goin to the war....
sad.gif


though my boy been thru the terrible 2, i think this mei mei is worse...

Everyday she be crying and throwing tantrum every time we change the diaper or ask her to bath... wat so diff to change?? out of 10 times, she be cryin 9 times....
 
gosh... so this is how 2 yr olds tell us they have a mind of their own. my son has been crying over the most mundane stuff like mommy going toilet! his tears are like free flow now. and yes he throws tantrum too when we don't give in to his whims and fancies
sad.gif


during bath time, he'd want to hold the shower head and he's starting to fight with me for the sponge and start bathing himself. i dunno to laugh or to get angry. and getting his diaper on means playing police and thief! a couple of times, his thigh ended up with five red fingers marks. recent days, he's been more co-operative and after he's dressed, i give him a big bear hug. i think he likes this and so far so good. keeping my fingers crossed.
 
hi dustee,
me briefly read thru the forum, almost missed your post. you're so right about when we are ready for another baby. till now, i'm still sitting on the fence... not sure if i really want to go through another 2 yrs of sleepless nights. and not to mention the risk of another abnormal foetus. think i need to take a breather once my boy goes to child care next month.
 
hello!

MIA the past few days with high fever 41 deg C. i went to the doctor's on Friday. actually thu evening i already suspected mastitis
http://www.askdrsears.com/html/2/t022200.asp and the GP at Raffles Medical confirmed it.

bcz when she touched my left breast (i told her there was a persistent and painful/tender lump)... wow the pain ah....

and she wanted to jab me to quickly bring the fever down, but the jab was not bfeedg frenly so no go for me. now on day 3 of a 5-day course of antibiotics

plus she TOLD me to feed formula milk during this period of high fever as milk might be quote unquote 'poisonous' for baby. *scratch head in bewilderment* the current medical literature indicates that mummy produces antibodies which then go into the BM, so feed bb the BM is best.

i told her no i m gonna cont feeding, she shrugged kinda signalling 'your choice sista, but dun say i din warn you'

tis really amazing how misinformed some doctors are. i suppose there are extremely good and extremely bad (from a professional standpoint) pple in every profession. bcz i chose to go to raffles medical clinic which is after all a profit making chain, their doctors are trained in the norm, so cannot expect too much.

C2 is still lively and kicking so the poisonous comment.... hmmmmm.... *rolls eyes*

C1 is also ill and my maid too.
C1 went to PD last fri bcz his cough took a turn for the worse, then over weekend, his temperature yo-yoed into the 39 deg C range. this morning, Mr C quickly brgt him to PD, turns out he has a ear infection.
sigh. in looking after C2, i have forgotten abt C1 till my mum or aunt pointed out that C1's cough is getting from bad to worse. my poor firstborn....
sad.gif


the guilt... the guilt....
 
dustee,
my door is always open for you!
happy.gif

just let me know when. only got this week left in singapore as i leave for kuching 1 Jun.

terrible 2s
apparently their little minds become overloaded with frustrations when they want smthing really badly, but not enuf lang skills to tell properly yet. i m not sure if C1 is exhibiting developmentally normal behaviours or if he is still reacting to C2's presence.

really gotta educate my maid on the choice of words when she speaks to C1 when doing smthing w C2.
if i m carrying C2, i would say to C1 when he wants baobao, my hands are busy dear, wait a while i will come back to you.
the maid goes, i m carrying didi, go away and play with your toys.

...........
 
hi cellow, hope you recovering well. take care of yourself and speedy recovery to you and c1 and maid. it's inevitable that you neglect c1 coz you're sick yourself so don't be too hard on yourself ok...
 
Bbp
Have a good trip! Saw the pictures on FB, Dec is a good traveller!

Dor
Sorry I forgot all about transferring the $! Will do tomorow k?

Cellow
Sayang! Take care and drink lots of water.
Re: not paying as much attention to C1 because of C2, it's normal. You'll figure out eventually how to balance the scales, don't worry. In the meantime, lavish C1 with more hugs, mummy-time alone while C2 is napping, as much as possible. If you have to bf C2, read to C1 while doing so, or cuddle C1 with your free arm and kiss him etc...

Terrible 2s
Yah, usually it's because of their inability to express themselves in any other way. Basically they are simply behaving in an age-appropriate manner. So just be patient with them, talk slowly, firmly, repeat yourself. ALso, they're probably reacting in that way because they do not like being interrupted while playing, to have something done to them (eg: bath, diaper change, etc). It may help to give them ample warning, like "Okay XX, we're going to play for another 5 minutes, then we'll go and change your diaper." And remind again every minute or so. I do this with my boys all the time. It works most(!) of the time. Rewarding good behaviour with lots of hugs and kisses is good too, 'cos they like that, and will remember to behave well to get more of these.

Mums with #1s
Are you planning to bring your kiddos out this June holidays? Any ideas? I want to take mine on excursions: farms, factories, etc.
 

oh no Cellow,

Get well soon okie? You are one strong example of a pro breastfeeding mummy! Must look to you as a role model when my turn comes.. *shudder* Need to press on with the feeding.

Terrible 2,

Ya..wuffy is also exhibiting monster traits. Refuse to change, refuse to bathe, refuse to eat, will cry and struggle. hiaz! But he enjoys playing now. When he sees toys he will go, "Open" "please" "ok" (he will automatically answer ok after his please.. LOL) and give the box to you. Our babies are really growing up very fast!

bbp,

Have fun in the US!!
