Brot my gal to her 1st class at Zoophonics on Sat.. expected e most 10 kids in e class, in the end total 12 kids + 12 parents + 1 teacher = 25paxs in the room!! find it a bit disorganized due to so many people. Attended 1hr english and 0.5hr chinese.. English i find e teacher not as engaging as the chinese one.. Read a storybook which even me also din find it interested.. E chinese lesson better, taught by a CHina woman.. voice v v loud hahahaa... so can catch e children's attention..
Was kind of amazed with my gal yesterday.. Was doing drawings with her and i drew her gramdma's face (cartoon type of cos..) then to my amazement she said "body" meaning she wans me to draw e body as well... It may not b a big thing but it jus occurred to me how much my gal has grown up .. from a small little bb 1.5yrs ago.. =)
Peanut,
hahahha... your description of the zoophonics class so funny. Wah.. go to Bosses for lunch?? Nice? Me hv not tried that restaurant before.
I agree... our lil babies are growing up really fast. They also learn things really fast hor. On Saturday, J2 made me so angry and I yelled at her. J3 went up to J2, shake her finger and head and scolded her older sister 'naughty'. *faintz*

Yr gals are so funny... must be quite taxing for u having to deal with 3 of them
its true that our kids hv grown up and understand lots of things. the other day i was feeding my gal her milk and she kicked me, so i just told her nicely "don't kick me ok" and then rightaway she rewarded me with a series of kicks. beat her lightly on her leg and she cried like hell. damn naughty.
and the best thing is my hub thinks im WRONG to scold & beat her, kns.

Jes,
Piangz.... Taxing is an understatement siah. On their good days, it's a wonder to have them around. On their PMS days, waahhh... it becomes a nightmare. On those days, I'll discipline them till I also on breaking point. Last time we not like tat leh. When my parents yelled, we obeyed immediately. Else, the cane will come liaoz.
Now, my gals dun care. Even dare to answer me back. Several times I was sso angry and could not take it. Time out did not work. Explaning only made them answer back more and question my authority. Yelling made them clam up and slam doors. End up I slapped and caned them for being defiant. Worse... after the whole episode, I felt really shitty and like I'm the worse mommy ever. Haiz.... Dunno what to do...

Peanut,
Yah... J3 is really cutez man. Always do and say the drnest things. This morning, she wake up already, she crawl to me, called softly:"mommy... mommy". Then she kissed me on the cheeks. heheheheh... When I open my eyes, she tell me "poo-poo". *faintz*
For J1, will let her cool down first. Then later explain to her. Sometime this works, other times it just riggers her temper. Aiyohz... really tough dealing with kids nowadays. Dunno is it the milk too high much high IQ liaoz. *aarrgghh*

Dymples, i tink if i ever use the cane, my hub may jus cane me instead... like u, sometimes i oso feel shitty too, and it doesn't help when my hub adds more oil when he says things "u scold her u r scolding yrself, u beat her u r beating yrself", sometimes feel very fan as i really dun know how to discipline.
i oso suspect it's due to us when we were preggy we ate too much omega and all the AA, DHA in formula milk tat causes the high IQ in kids nowadays. ^_^

Jes,
Wahhh.. your hub like that can end up spoiling your gal leh. My hub used to be like that. But now my girls are older, they are not scared of him. In fact, they are more disobedient to him. To them, 'daddy means fun' but 'mommy means business'. Haiz...
Liv,
Yah lor. Last time where got dare to scold our parents? In fact, till today I also dun dare to shout at my parents leh. Only on occassion (blue moom) when I'm really super duper pissed, then will raise my voice niah. Last time, I damn 'gong-gong' leh. Not so smart like my gal at this age.
Nowadays, its not sufficient to just earn $$ to feed/dress/send 'em to school. Kids know how to demand for more. Already my J1 is starting to ask for iPhone. And she's only in Pri 2 wor.

Peanut, Liv,
I'm ok with either choice. But if Tanglin is more quiet why not go for that? Distance wise, tink it's about the same distance to walk from city hall to Suntec versus Orchard to Tanglin? Plus, I tink will be easier to get cab from tanglin after dinner cos no need to fight with the 'after office' crowd?

Pleeeeeeeease do not giv in to ur gal's Iphone request!! u'll be spoiling her nuts if you give in! Why on earth they need an iphone at this age?? Last time i told myself i wont giv my gal a handphone in Pri school but after toking to my sisinlaw i agree it'll b easier to get hold and find out their whereabouts if they hav one.. esp when they stay late in school for CCA or remedial class etc... But only e most simple phone for calling and messaging..

Peanut,

dymples, nut
ya tink my hub is spoiling her. and he said shd talk reason with the kid and he tinks it will make the kid feels shitty if we parents scold and beat them. i really dun understand what method is this and how it will work...
tats y my selfish mind tells me i will just hv this 1 kid and tats it, it's too tricky and tough esp when hub & i hv different views abt kids' raising. better we just focus on this current 1 bah.
dymples, salute u!

Dymples: Wow..I think nowadays the kids really tough to handle. I think I will be very pissed too if she said such stuff. But I guess is in a fit of anger, hopefully she will realise her mistake when she comes home.
And Iphone... Gosh...but i can imagine why they want it even though she is only P2. My boy, not even 2 yrs old, LOVES the iphone..i gave to him when i buay tahan his fussing when at home or outside. Keep him quiet for next 20 minutes -_-
Nut: Last time N attended LNT rite?? How you find it? Is it 1 hour purely sit down? Thinking if shld let my boy to even go for the trial lesson!

Jes,
Aiyohz... dun salute me. Me discipline my gals till sometimes wanna 'ki-seow' already. But after staying in Australia for 4-years, I def dun believe in any of these ang-mo methods of time-out or positive discipline. If all this 'B@%*SH@!' works, then why their kids all so damn ill-disciplined? All really 'boh-kah-see'. Downright rude, ill-bred and pampered.
Glad_gal,
Yah lor. My girl wants the iPhone becos of all the games. Everyday when I go home and during weekends, my iPhone is 'confiscated' by my girls. End up I gotta buy those portable battery charger cos half the time, she will play till my battery all flat.
