Hi mommies,
Thanks for the support.
Hubby finally apologised to me properly. He did an insincere and scruff apology on sat evening cos we were supposed to go for dinner with my MIL. Obviously, Regina and I made a no go-no show. Heehee! So he only gave me a proper apology that night. So all's well now. And on Sunday, he really took care of Regina and I had some time to myself to go to church. Heehee!
Karen,
Think he was the one who woke on the wrong side of the bed cos I was still in bed when he made those comments.

hi jolly,
because i am 'sick' and truly am and my mil is taking a break from church duties today, i have called up all three types of schools under the ntuc first campus network.
here's what i found
first skool house
-formerly known as ntuc childcare
-comparative to pcf/pap but teachers have access to training conducted by rtrc
-200-300 per mth after subsidy
-educare curriculum (social skills, independent living skills, art and craft, play, academics start middle of nursery)
-mostly located at void decks
lil skoolhouse
-literacy based curriculum (e.g. themes taken from books. activities might include making a book, dramatic play, song and dance)
- fees range between 600-700 per month (before subsidy i think)
- has more space, equipment and resources compared to first skoolhouse
caterpilar's cove (my fave, if i had the money, i'ld go for it)
- all teachers have degrees, are pursuing masters
- centre allows academics from rtrc to conduct research
- place also where rtrc pre-service or teachers in training undergo their placements
- low student ratio
- alot of space
- child directed planning until k1 and it becomes an emergent curriculum (academic)
- fees from 1200 per month (about 900 after subsidy)
- emails, portfolios, newsletters, frequent corespondance with teachers
imo,
nursery classes don't differ that much. the important thing is to find a place where you're comfortable with the teachers, the principal and an easily assessible location. On emergent curriculum, i've studied it. Theoretically, it's based on the child's interest and you web the interest. e.g. broad topic skeletons - web - parts of skeleton - web- spine -web- e.g. charles: why do we have spines? -web- Lucy: what has spines? what does not have spines? -web- Tom: how does my spine look like? -web- Huili: is our spines different from a bear's spine, a dinosaur's spine? -web- animals, reptiles, dinosaur bone structures -web- dinosaurs
i think this is how it went.. didn't get to put it into practice much in sg. did it in oz while on prac.. ehehhe.. fun. That was theoretical, i find that alot of schools will throw big words at you, so google it, understand it. Not everywhere practices what it preaches, sometimes it's us parents. we want to see marks and results.
Havent enquired about carpe diem. If i'm out of money, i'ld just put her into pcf downstairs. Not particular about preschool education, they'ld learn to read and write given the right motivation. I am worried about her acquisition of 2nd language though... sigh. because i'm so shit at chinese.

Cakes
Although I like the look of all those cute elaborate looking fondant cakes, I think they are VERY sweet and hard to cut; unless u choose cupcakes.
Am leaning towards beatifying a fresh cream sponge cake because the birthday cake will be Victoria's first taste of cakes and I want it to be easy for her to swallow (she is only 1. Fondant cakes tend to be heavier so as to better hold the fondant / marzipan??). So the cake needs to be light and fluffy, no nuts, no berries in it.

mousebb,
i had to bite my tongue too often when it came to older relatives. i just ignore now.
i think wenxuan and wenmin are both lovely. for one, they're not brats! i think wenxuan takes such a gentle approach to his meimei.
Birthday,
i expect the military husbands are balloting for the changi chalets. hehehe... we have plans to cater for the first night then do a bbq for the 2nd night. My caterer had a portable oven and they did tandoori chicken and fresh oven baked naan, so wonderful... sigh. If i weren't wearing a stupid corset and a white dress, i would have eaten more.

jellypurine, u got mail!!! well, i dun eat the fondant/mazipan, i only eat the cake inside hehee. yes the fondant is sweet, but its makes the cake beautiful. i find glad's cakes nice although i am not chocolate person! some of my friends had 2 slices.
ruffles, actually they are not that hard to cut.
u dun put it in the fridge after collecting. its actually fine. but sponge cake is nice too! actually, if u baby has not tried eggs by her birthday, it may be safe to go for eggless and sugar free cakes if u want her to eat it. this place sells such cakes suitable for babies or for kids with food allergy.
I ordered from them for my son's actual 1st birthday so he can have real cake that day heee..
http://www.theconsciouschoice.com/cake/index-buzz.htm
Mint, wow u really made ur stand huh???? way to go!
jolly, yeah her cakes looks too gorgeous to eat!!!
phildough, wow....ur caterer sounds fantastic. u had them for ur ROM/wedding issit? may I know who is that?

www.mongstirs.com is the more reasonably priced cake... but again, some of the bakers charge bu size and not weight, so it may all end off more expensive than you may think

daisybuttons - Hey thanks for the recommendation. It might just be me being scaredy cat and I just wanna play safe. Wun be giving her cakes or ice creams before her birthday. Plus dun want her to bulk out or puke out on heavy cakes on her happy day. Am I making sense? Fondant - like you said, nice to look at but too sweet to eat. Then if eat inside only - is it a bit wasted? Sigh.

Jelly, Trace,
Wa...so ex! My hubby's going to make alot of noise to pay that much for a cake! Think I got to fork that amount out if I'm to order cake that costs more than $80...knowing how 'practical' he is, he'll sure say that amount can be put into more practical usage than a cake which my boy don't even knows how to appreciate...he sure says its me who wants the cake not my boy...which is true...haha...
Rebecca,
Hope Erin recovers soon!
