Royce sounds interesting! Where are you going for BBG's excursion? So fun!
Dor
Ah so, I see. No prob
oh no hope E gets better soon! How about mini bean bags, those that can warm up kind - would they help?
Oh must tell you girls about funny bus behaviour! The other day I took a bus with poppy and saw a woman with a very irritated face, sitting next to a wet seat. I thought the person who vacated the seat had left a wet patch (leaky bottle or wet grocery bag maybe). She kept looking at Tsk-ing. Then as it dried up, she took some water from her own bottle and sprinkled it on her seat and spread the water around!
BB said he has seen that before too, and his deduction is that they do it to have the whole seat to themselves. So they can stop people from sitting by being "kind" and telling them the seat is wet!
singapore sure has interesting people!

Hiiii!!! I am finally logged in from office!!!
Long time no seeeeeee (write and read lah)
A lot of catching up on posts so gotto do that over a few days.
sleep training,
PB, you're doing great! yup, i had to sit outside for quite a while, and slowly i took the approach of "negotiating". meaning, you sit down at a place first, THEN send her off to bed herself. It works wonders. She left you, not you leave her, so she does not expect you to be around when she wakes in the middle of the night. Of course, eboy nowadays still comes out to check if i am still around, once a while. Sometimes he will intentionally come out to give lots of hugs and kisses cos he knows i wont reject those!!! oh, i love those cute cute things he does to get off going to sleep.. hee hee...
Congrats on Cin's promotion!
Uhm, Dustee, regarding your housemoving, i say you just go and spend the day over at your own home between now and when you shift. You know, nothing beats getting out from your MIL house anyway, and do you really need the fridge for half a day. I will waste the half boottle of yophurt anytime to just get out of her house. and you can also explore spending the night in your own house over weekends too... work out something! May is tooooo long !!!
I think i have "kok" Mr SY's head before many times, and I think i gotto keep doing that! I think getting a helper has its advantage. you must be clear what her primary responsibility is. for house cleaning and cooking, then just let her do that and nothing eelse. Up till today, my helper has never, never spend more than half hour alone with eboy. never. I never allowed that and that is why eboy is not close to her at all. but it really helps a lot with her doing all the housework, washing, cooking, you can focus on your kids on those hours that you are not working loh....
*welcomes cellow and batgal home*
new work
I have had a fulfilling one week at work and i should say I may have found my dream job to retire in... my boss is good, work culture here is good, run like a start-up company (i'm in civil service btw!), ppl here are self motivated and moves very fast (unlike the bunch of deadwoods I had to deal with over in my old place). the most important thing is having met the high principals in office dealing iwth issues concerning the nation's interest, I am very inspired and motivated and believe that my work here is for a good cause and makes me feel so patriotic!!!! I am giving my best to this job!!!
Sick also come to work ah! (and they promote work from home too woo hoo!)

crystal,
How long do they cry? Cos according to Declan's teacher (omg, we had teacher-parent meeting this morning), he just cries less than 1 min. Then after that, he laughs, announces he is ok already... with the tears STILL on his cheeks.
*faints*
Mich,
Good for you!

eboy is progressing really well on speech. the other day we held a conversation and it went like this
me: what happened to your spider man shoes?
e: throw down
me: throw down where?
e: the pool! (with swimming action along)
me: who threw down the pool?
e: ME! *followed by cheeky grin*
I confiscated his shoes and did not give it back to him till days later... he's into throwing things now and i have no clue how to stop it.
oh wait, i was trying to say his speech has improved and therea re many many more words he can manage and I am pleased.
ok, back to throwing. how how how?
straw, how is the session with n1 going so far?

i had such a relaxing time in phuket and the children has such a great time! we hit the beach, frolick in the pool, ate yummy food, chill in the room watching disney channel! during the last dinner, the boy was so impatient when we took so long to eat, he kept pulling my hand and wanted to go HOME, which in his mind was the hotel room not his bishan home! oh, did i mention that we even transported a few crabs from the beach home! and gee it was survival of the fittest, from 5 crabs, we only have 1 left, the biggest one has eaten up all the rest!
i am SO ready for the US trip end of the month i tell you. was so hard getting out of bed going to work today! and the work that has piled up just from 3 days away! haizzz!

doggiebb, ya those spiderman crocs!! he had also thrown his previous cros down balcony and it was gone for good! we kept the other side to keep reminding him not to throw it down and he hasn't. but now its into the pool. really i dunno if its cos he lilkes to see our reaction, or he thinks it fun to see his father scooping his shoes out from the pool in total darkness (we take the walk round our estate after dinner).. i cant stop him!!!!! (which reminds me of PB scooping poppy's hat using a stale baguette!)

doggiebb is right. we walk around, and the pool is right below my block, then he will ask to sit on the lounge chairs.. then take off his shoes.. then take one, throw! take another one! (stopped by mummy). then the father will panic, try to catch it before it swims away too far... then we gotto wait by the pool for it to come close enough for us to retrieve it back. then i will be angry and throw his shoes into the dustbin, and make him go home barefooted. then quickly run down later to pick the shoes back up from the dustbin and not show him for the next few days. then keep asking him, what happened tot he shoe? do you want the shoes? can you throw? (the answer is always yes). i think cos he still has got other shoes to wear, so this method is not very effective wor...

can help me keep a lookout? i wan to move to a company that promotes work from home...haha!
hmmm i think the biggest concern for me is that my helper has no one to watch over. too many stories of helpers up to tricks when employers not ard. if i m at home of cos i dun mind getting a helper but if the helper is at home alone then that's a different issue....
great that e-boy is doing well in his speech! he sounds great!
crystal
think it's just purely separation anxiety. maybe get someone else to send them to sch?
doggieebb
woooo sounds nice. another trip coming up! which part of US u going?

SY, I think if the roles for the helper is clearly articulated and put across, and you remove all temptations at home. in the few hours she is alone at home, what can she do? I know of those stories too, and i think for a start, its good to have ppl to watch over her, build up a relationship, get her to feel like family, then have the confidence to let her be at home. I suppose that takes time and you have to make arrangements for that. I have seen friends who took month long leave to stay at home with the hlper in the initial days.. get her accustomed. so its do-able. its manageable. You build your own confidence level. and hope for the best!!! else, having 3 without helper and and hubbys help seems like an awfully tough job on a working mom!!!! (as it is, you already so skinny and not enough sleep ah!)
uhm, currently my company is not hiring and even if they do, need to be engineering trained... i'll drop you an SMS...
US is nice!! cold weather is nicer!!! but but but, its a tough job getting the kids out from the room with all the winter gears!! if f&e, then i'm sure it will be a super enjoyable trip!!!! I very envyyyyy!!!!!

L is also throwing things! And shoving things off tables.
Mich: just leave the crocs in the pool, don't try to scoop them up. If he enjoys watching daddy rush to get them, he'll keep doing it just to continue enjoying the show. Let him walk barefoot back home, then rescue the crocs when he can't see you doing it. Or just go on barefoot walks and enjoy the free foot reflex sessions, hehe.
Mich
Great stuff about your job etc! And Eboy's developing-at-the-speed-of-light speech
Bbp
Heehee how was your first PTM?
You know, when L sees me hovering outside his class, he will just wave bye bye to me and wait for me to walk away. Sob.

youpi,
*Ostriches*
Will the article stress me on how I'm not doing enough?
First PTM wasn't as bad as I expected. I was half expecting that the teachers would say "He doesn't listen to people, he's cheeky, he talks too much, etc." But heng ar. Don't have. Haha.
Oh, but I learnt many pleasant things from the English teacher. Apparently, Declan went to comfort a new boy who just started school this week. Told him "don't cry" and "be happy!"
L is a good boy. Dec used to do that. Now it ranges between cry and ok.

yeah i also know main problem is no one to jagar helper. but even then leaving helper at home also dangerous. it happened to my fren and it was quite terrible. her helper looks really guai and i also din expect her to do those things. so after what happened, her mil quit her job to help her look after kids and new helper.
n i dun have any help on short notice if anything happens. so a lot of things to consider.
or maybe get my hb to change job. told him to go for a civil service job with more stable hours.... right now, he is coming back home so late everyday that he is not much help. slowly slowly i will change him. he has shown some improvement in some ways lah but of cos i must find a way to speed up! problem is he has no good role models ard him. so when he look at himself and other pple, he feels he is very good liao. u shd look at my sil's hb. i will vomit blood if my hb is like that.

Dec is such a good boy! that's so heartwarming and sweet.

Hello Ladies! Wow... so many new topics in here & great news to hear from Michelle, cinbunny, ermm... who did i miss to congrat? Can feel the happy vibes by just speed-reading your posts
Ermm.. abt the electric toothbrushes.. are our kids too young to use them? my son can't even brush his teeth properly using normal toothbrush...
Library at Nex, if it's opening tomorrow, will it be crowded? i mean Nex is like pack with people all the time.. except early in the morning b4 10am. anyone going to the library tomorrow?
Work vs SAHM
seems like several mommies are back in the work force. so i'll just ask these qns to PB and youpi. i've quit my job! it was a terrible and painful decision to make. so, i've been staying at home for the past 2 weeks except going to the office for 2 half days to hand over my work. now that my son is going to attend full day childcare next month onwards, SAHM, how do you spend your free time when your kids are in school? i have some plans but i've never stopped working for the past decade.. not sure how i'm going to cope with so much free time....yet can't afford the tai-tai lifestyle... most probably need to sell the car too. gosh... i really dunno how i'll cope emotionally...

dustee,
have you moved out yet? where's your new place? aren't you excited?!! finally a place to call your own
PB,
your posts always put a smile on my face... when are you gg fish feeding with poppy again? hopefully next time round, i can really join in.
bbp,
wow... your son has a kind heart
... i remembered not too long ago, when my son cried, my nephew will shout at him and even tried to hit him...
SY,
most man tend to compare themselves with the less ideal target so they themselves get a ego boost hahaha... i've learnt from my friend that most hb will repeat certain chores if you praised them enough, even though they may not have done a up-to-our-standard job. but pratice makes perfect... so give him more opportunities for you to praise him hahah...

come come, pm me your number and we can go for coffee at nex. but pomfret's still with me this month. and next month i'm packing her off to 2.30-5.30 childcare.
haven't moved out. still looking at the necc appliances and furniture first. sigh.
cellow
then what places can you eat and have an eggless feast? you gotta tell us!
kindy registration
so, we had mass (church service) on wednesday 6.30am coz it's a special catholic day. then went to the kindy which had registration at 8am. we reached around 7.30am and there was a queue already! gasp. (and i'm quite sure the rest weren't just coming from church....)
but okay, finally mr dustee is willing to let pomfret be registered in something for next year.
and then next month i'm gonna put her in a playgroup in the afternoon in a cc. so yay! my budget tai tai life is about to start!

got so many things to say and congratulate (mich's job, eboy speaking, pb not falling into water....) but another time. need to sleep. heh.
steph
free time? er. i have more than youpi cos she only sends her boys for 3 hours. poppy at playschool for the "full day" which really just means 930am to about 4pm for us. i usually bring her to childcare then do any of the following, in no particular order:
1) gym
2) do my part time work
3) prepare for upcoming craft sessions for biz
4) prepare for craft session for poppy
5) go to the library and get ideas for 3) and 4)
6) go marketing
7) run errands
8) housework (or think about having to do it)
9) make stuff for poppy. now i'm scratching my head wondering how to make a puppet theatre for her. last couple of days it was 'bean bags'
10) if BB is home, we might just nua on the sofa and watch some tv
i wish i could say that i were organised and had some kind of schedule template to share with you but i don't. i just do whatever needs doing. like if there are deadlines to meet, then i will work towards that. if the dust on the floor is getting too visible, then i will attack that.
I'm on for another fish feeding session! But I charge for any professional picker uper service provided
$? Err we live on a very basic package. No car, no maid, no cable, no condo, not many big installments to pay off.
My biggest hurdle was coping with my dip in self worth, when I stopped getting a salary. I think most mums take a while to adjust to SAHMhood.
It was tough leaving my job too cos I really loved it. But I didn't really have a choice cos there was no one to look after poppy and we didn't want her to go into infant care. So it was a tough decision that I kind of regret career wise, but zero regrets mummy wise
pm me if you want to chat!
Dustee
Congrats on putting pomfret in playgroup!!! Gosh mass at 630am? I've not done that since... never!
DD
Ah yes. Just call me weirdo magnet! It's like normal people are hanging around doing nothing then see me approaching and scuttle "hurry! Here she comes! Quick, take out your nailclippers and start clipping your toenails at the bus stop now!

thanks for arranging iherb. poppy loves the ABC bikkies (very vanilla i think).

If you want #3 I think you will need a helper, if not it will be really difficult. Getting a good helper depends on your luck I guess, however, no matter how good a helper is, there will be some flaws here and there and I have learned just to close one eye. It really makes my life easier.
PB
Lols on using the baguette to scoop the hat.
getting thinner with kids
Definitely not me. I seemed to be balooning each day.
Dordor
I'll transfer to you tonite.
Ooh hopefully Ember is better now! Stomach flu?
Batgirl
heee have you tried new dramas? I'm currently super busy with Annual Report but next week I'm going to start with Midas and probably Crime Squad. Have you watched my princess?
Lunch next week
I'll try to join!!! Have we fixed a place?
Michelle
Good that you are settling well to your new workplace. Eboy is progressing well on the speech? HOORAY!! Very happy for you and Eboy too!
doggiebb
Wow US trip! I'm due to go this year too, but not sure whether I have the time to go. Sighhhh

Wah..I am trying not to click anymore dramas to watch. I am ending my cowhood soon. I only watch while I moo... but my fingers are itchy... heehee...
Steph,
