how was everyone's CNY? very busy visiting?
couldn't visit my dad's side on the first day cos too many other places to go... well, i guess some people with malaysian hubbies have to go m'sia for the whole CNY and don't even get to see their side of the family every year...

Kate was ok, only that the buttons kept coming off until we sewed the gap tighter so she was fussing cos we kept having to put it on and off.
the collar wasn't that tight for Kate, think she was in size 2.
MIL bought the outfit, and my hubby's cousins kids had similar ones cos the grandmas all shopped together haha.

Jelly,
That's so cute! I always wanted to get 1 matching one with me and Natalie but never come across any.
My hub bought 1 Vietnamese for Natalie... looks Chinese enough. will try to resize and post later

<font color="0077aa">ms piggy, coincidentally C also was in Ao Dai for Day 1.
Hers was the full suit - red and gold top with the white pants. I have one in pure white but din wear it cos my auntie visited me. Tsk tsk... Day 2, she was in a 2 piece traditional one which my in-laws got from HK. The Ao Dai, they got it from Vietnam when they visited that place last year. So am v lucky cos I din have to prepare anything for C except matching hair clips. Ke ke ke</font>

USA Grad Student Research with Singapore Parents - Quick Survey
Thank you to those who have completed my survey - I have already received 25 responses!! I am hoping to get 5 more so I can do my comparison study. Can you share this with other parents you know? I really appreciate the help and am so excited about studying in your country! Here are the details...
I am a graduate student at the University of St. Thomas in the United States (Minnesota), participating in a study abroad course in Singapore at the National Institute of Education. The study is to learn more about couple's relationship as they take on the role of parenthood.
The following people are invited to take the 5-minute survey:
* Have you had your first (and only) child in the past six months to 24 months?
* Do you live with the co-parent?
* Is it the first child for both partners?
To start the survey, please click the link below or copy and paste it into your Internet browser.

<font color="0077aa">ms piggy: apparently I look viet. When HB and I back packed in HCMC, all the locals we bumped into spoke to me in Viet. Even on the flight back to SG, the stewardess insisted on me taking the arrival card cos she said I needed it to enter. Hence when i went shopping and bought the blue one, the shop owner insisted on me taking the white one cos that's what the girls there wear daily. I got it for almost close to nothing. The downside is when I am out with HB and cos he is not Chinese, everyone thought that I am a viet gold digger or one of the ladies of the night!!! The waitors and locals would stare at us whenever we went to somewhere nice!!! Ha ha ha</font>

karen,
i smsed mint once on this. theres this scheme of teachers called pro-flairs in the kindergartens and ccs, pretty much prepare children's english profficiency for pri 1. lots of them come from lower socio-eco backgrounds.
pay is from 20-35 per hour, commitment twice a week at least, one hour session, 4 to start a group.
But if you ask me, tuition prob pays better. this pro-flair business, alot of work.. i have a parent who's also a mummy friend, she's doing it for one of the ccs and kns i work with. still an option, let me know if any of the sahms would like to consider. training to be provided by MOE/MCYS depending on which service you work with, typically you can work for both, considered independent contracts

mcys childcare subsidy,
eh ask me lah, i just revised my centre's fee listings.
karen,
you'ld be asked to produce employment letter, cpf statement or payslip to show employment.
Buffy,
300 for working moms for childcare (toddler to k2), 600 for infantcare.. which most of our bubs would have grown out of by may.

That time I was very tempted to get those cny clothes from the BPs here but then I thought since wenmin already have so many sets of new clothes liao so I never bought for her. And she seems to be short cos recently the clothes which I bought from the BPs most of them still cant fit her yet.</font>
