jes
Nex got send out flyer ah? we din even recieved it even though we stay in that area leh. just heard from neighbours saying they are opening in 3rd week of Nov, so we just drop by to look see look see lor.
think the crowd would be there for a few more months down the road, especially now during the school hols and also when x'mas and CNY is just round the corner too. maybe can go on weekdays instead? ;p
 
moomum
oh actually its not the flyer on Nex, its isetan which announced its opening in Nex, haha.. cos stay near wan no need flyer mah, automatically everyone will talk abt it... tats pple lor always curious wan, so got new place or thing sure kena flooded wan. perhaps will go there next sun for bfast, morn time shdn't be as bad i hope, hehe
 
I have question!
Who has OCBC Young Savers account for their kid? I think OCBC open this account when I apply for their baby bonus CDA account.
Does it come with a passbook and ATM card?
 
ah jes,
I made the name stickers at Simei liao. $5 (for i think 96 pieces). Disney design.

Do u need t cake toppers back urgently? I wonder if they can go into your MIL's letterbox?
 
I wrote one long story but when my phone refreshed itself, my entry is gone...sobs!!!!!!!!!!

Lynn
I've tried mashed potatoes but she didnt like it..refused to eat. Last time she ate porridge but she suddenly rejected it oso. Yest I tried Annabel Karmel's nuggets recipe. I fried potatoes and nuggets, put a bit of salad at the side..make it look all pretty and nice to eat but NO, she took the nugget, smelt it and threw it away! sigh.

She likes fries but only when we eat outside like in BK or Wendy's..not sure wat else to do. I have yet to go to BHG to get those cookie cutters for her..hopefully it will make her wanna eat. Will try the fried potatoes or baked hello kitties face like how tri_angel did for her. Oh ya, i fried scrambled eggs for her too..oso dun want!

Lian
Yah, the pd at kk oso said she lost weight from 12 to 11. I realised pediasure helps to maintain that healthy weight. If not N will look haggard and skinny! Pediasure IS ex but no choice..i rather see her gettin all the nutrients than just drink friso and get worried but her skinny weight.

Olwen
Ive got no choice lor..ive tried everything. Sit beside her to eat the SAME food as her oso. Now she likes biscuits..if eat outside like BK, she oso eat. But now im on a diet so goin to fast food rest will be like once in a while

Jes
same lah, only fried..but yest fry oso dun want. *pulls hair*

glad_gal
yah, will definitely be a challenge..think my boy is ok..juz my gal..like dat gotto bring my whole fam la..the tot of packing and all that really puts me off..lol!!

Young savers acc
Only passbook..no atm..atm for cda..
happy.gif
 
I just bought the meiji biscuits before leaving to work cos finish liao..she only eat tt biscuits..if we fry keropok, she oso want.. realise she like crunchy stuffs..cut carrot sticks for her oso dun want..arrgh
 
Lilian,
I have the Young Savers account. Also open together with CDA account. I know there is a pass book but cannot recall if there is atm card? I have 1 red atm card but i think is for the CDA acct thingy.
 
Gonna do a short post using 'RCB's style':

moomummy
wah good becoming 'punggolean' soon, lets find some day to go fly-kite, the season is back again!

rcb
how's little jalen? TCM more effective on him?

lian
I asked abt the potty training cos wanna get some tips from experienced mummies end up... *opps*
Started mine on saturday but quite difficult cos we always go out on weekends so just for a short while on saturday morning... Q so funny he ran to us and said 'wet wet wet wet', and by the time we put him on his potty, he wet his traning pants oredi... -_- ... jiayou next time!

glad_gal

Young savers acc

They dun want u to take out their $ la tts y give oni passbook. Hehehe

Lian
Yah she's tall. If lose weight she look haggard. Poor gal. Nw scratchin my head hw to make her eat. Even tried changing pasta, mee sua oso lo wan. I saw my nephew who eats everything and i feel envy lor

Sean lau fair
Yup i went all the way there juz to sign up the package. I tried askin the mummies in my boy's thread but like not much interest as here. Only sum but we cant get gd disc unless get 30mummies like last time. I gotto go thru the sitex fair sumore. Faint lor. Purposely nvr brin my gal cos so crowded. Kiki, u wanna take up the pkg ah?
 
Lian,
if it's any consolation to you, N is just 11kg. I think K, N and ah Jes' V all sama sama. I'm still a little skeptical abt Pediasure leh. If K is healthy and happy, being skinny could be just her genetics make up. If u make a comparison btw her current FM n Pediasure, if there any important nutrient that she is not getting enough of? I've never done that, but i'm convinced that the sugar/fat content (in whatever form that they are called) in Pediasure is significantly higher. Is that what u want to "fatten" your baby? Just my thoughts.

Last time with A, I also very worried, as she was also a skinny child. I thank God that A was blessed with good health, and generally a happy baby. I think I'm more relax this time round cos N is #2
happy.gif


I may be wrong, but I think if u hv more than 1 account with OCBC, they will link all your accounts to one ATM card. During account opening, they will ask u de.

kiki,
maybe when going to Nex just to look see and not planning on big shopping, then consider taking a train there? Hb n I took train there last night after dinner, it was a breeze.

When u start potty training, preferably is during a time when u can have maximum consistency - meaning, be at home whole day, and using the same method by the same person. When I first started training N, I ask her do u need "shee shee"?. After a while, she associated "shee shee" to going to the potty. But come weekend, my hb ask her do u need "wee wee"? She didn't understand him n end up letting go in her panties. This is just my experience lah.

N is now diaper free liao, including night time
happy.gif


Olwen,
still haven't collect those exam material from you hor. So sorry. been busy. Or hv u already throw them away?

Any trip photos to share? Did Kai enjoy the "chinese" immersion?

RCB,
so heartpain to see J sick hor. Did Dr say what causes his illness? Hope he recovers soon.
 
kiki
yah, going to move to punggol very soon. yes!
will definitely go for more kite flying in future.i'll jioh u okie?hehe..

lian,
Nex shopping mall is at Serangoon Central, just next to Serangoon MRT station.
If you drive there on weekends, would be very difficult to find parking lots. other then the mall's own car park, some ppl will park their cars at nearby HDB carpark lots and then walk over. best to take MRT lah. :p
 
mummy2nia
ha, rcb's style = a sweet and short post to all mummies... :p
How much u paid for SL package? $120? include family shots + nia? a bit tempted but I hope to see more variations from SL leh..

aly_nat
yeah I know got to be consistent and patient for Potty Training lor.. btw which type of potty u all bought ah?
I bought this Haenim one for Q and he plays it like a toy:

sad.gif
 
lian,
u stay tampines right? ooh..no direct train service to serangoon,must change. not far but troublesome instead. hehe..
me every sunday morning would take Circle line to Macpherson station then take bus number 8 to Soka at tampines. whole journey plus waiting time takes about 1 hour. -_-"

kiki
huh....??really ah? aiyoh...so sayang.. okie okie, must go every weekend liao.hahaha..
 
kiki,
The potty looks too good to be use for it's intended purpose
happy.gif
lucky BBQ!! I bought one of those seated ones for N initially, though not as stylo as yours. N also play with it, opening n closing the "lid" n hiding little toys inside. I got fed up n bought her those "most basic red plastic-tub-looking" thingy. Shortly after she got the hang of doing her small/big business in the "tub", I transfer her to the toilet bowl with a toddler toilet seat. Just flush away the output
happy.gif
That nice potty is still waiting to be given away, along with training pants.
Any takers?

Lian,
Nex from your office quite near, right?
 
ah moomoo, u go Soka ah? Do what huh, may i ask?

ah kiki, boy and girl percentile different issit?

Hihi lian n Kiki, haven't pop leh... Had false labour yesterday rush to hospital bt bb don't want to come out haha... So back to sq one waiting at home again. Lian, regarding bully, Issac fight back if his toy was snatch in Sch, bt he ended up wit a scratch on his cheek. Bt i told him well done his dad on the other hand disapprove...All these was written in the communication book by the teacher. He use to be bullied in Sch initially when the kid take his toy he will just give nw he follow suit n fight back so don't worry too much.

Aly_nat
I know wat u mean when u mentioned pediasure has higher suger content. I did change from pediasure to friso. But when i change to friso, her weight dropped cos she's not eating well hence ive got no choice and put her back on pediasure.

The atm card is not linked. Its separate cos if not passbook will also link right. Passbook so far reflect the young savers acc onli leh. If atm card link then jialat cos i sure dun wan the savers acc to b deducted when use for injections etc...hehehe

Hmm feel like tryin N on potty training cos she's gonna start sch soon.

Kiki
Did u take the bulk discount from sl last yr? Its sadly the same price. No diff. $198. U go to his website and look at classic bb package then u can see more details. Sorry me at work so cant see then postcard details. Also 2 person free plus $35 per extra person

For 17mths and above theres a package called studioplay. Cost $120 during fair. He gave details but i didnt listen properly cos more interested in the classic bb pkg. :p There's and a1 size included. U may wanna col adelena for more details. Hehe
 
mummies,

any TVB fans here??

I just finished this series show " 巾帼枭雄2之义海豪情 ". this series made me can't stop chasing every nights.. i spent 1 wk to finish to all the 32 esp. I can said this is the BEST tvb series show i've watched this yr! very good & nice show!
happy.gif
 
Mummy2nia,
This is what I think, and I stand corrected hor.

ATM card can be linked cos when u use an ATM card at the automated teller, u need to "choose" which account you wanna draw from or deposit into. Eh, but i dunno how it works if u use your atm to pay for purchases via nets
sad.gif
. With the passbook, you will need to physical use the one with the intended account. Am I making sense?

Re pediasure
Although I tell ah lian not to worry too much, but of course I also wish my N is fatter lah
happy.gif
. I wish and wish my N can be like olwen's R, or RCB's J. They are so cute! And I honestly think they are of very good size. I am most impressed with how J eats. He really enjoys his food. My N eats like a bird, or not at all
sad.gif
.
 
Aly nat
If wat u say is true i happy liao cos i wonder hw to draw out for future use. Does it apply to depositing $ to the savers acc via atm machines?

Sometimes i wonder whether cos n is a girl and girl by nature is more fussy. Perhaps tts y she's a picky eater. I hope and pray my gal will start eatin. Its worryin to seeher state. At one point she refuse water too. Nw better.
 
Mummy2nia,
Pls verify with the bank, ok? As far as my memory serve me, I always thought I hv my accounts linked in the ATM cards. I hv not make any withdrawals in my young savers account or CDA account so far. I usually deposit cash using the cash deposit machines outside the bank, and hv my passbook updated directly. That same machine also allow u to make cash deposits using ATM card. I suggest u go to a OCBC ATM and try withdrawals. See if the system prompt u which account u wanna deposit into/withdraw from. This is how it works for my UOB account where I link various accounts to 1 card.
 
ah lian: told everybody the 'mon-dazed' joke yet?

ah aly_nat: nat so clever hor? shall i pass u all the subjects ar? i got to sort out neatly.

mummy2nia: donch worry. fat also got fat problems. my mum hates R to be fat. of all my kids, only G has problems eating. so i put him on dumex all in one. he likes tt milk. altho he eats much less than luke, he's still chubbier. sometimes kids also drop the fussiness later. like my niece (same age as Kai) also v difficult to feed as a tod. now she eats well & is chubby.

ah moo: ya, maybe can bring the kids to nex together then
happy.gif


ah jes: ya, like to hear from u. hee.

ah tri: i kena bluff by the docs at TRT in BJ. they said there's a tvb series abt TRT called 大宅门. it's not, it's a CHINA series & so old. cheh.
 
ah wen, no lah, was really in a daze yesterday. Even kopi oso no help. Didn't sleep well cos too warm at first, then too cold after i on the air-con. After tat, K kept turning. Woke up every hour -_-
Today better

I dreamt i am in Japan. kakaka
 
morning ladies

wow thread so lively y'day PM, whilst i was busy at work, haha... missed out joining all the conversations :p

kiki
think better to take train to go Nex, dun wanna hv parking prob later... wow u buy so fancy potties for Q no wonder he takes them as toys, haha

mummynia
dun pull hairs... be patient. at a stage my gal oso wasn't eating much, and milk intake oso not much. fussy lor, so we just keep on trying and trying till she starts eating all over again, but like alynat's N, my gal most of the time eats like a bird too tats probably y she's oso on the skinny side. but she seems happy most of the times so we r not too worried.

Re: Acct linked to ATM
from my understanding, yes we can request for all our accts to be linked to one ATM card, and upon withdrawal or deposit got to specify an acct. so when there's several accts linked to the card, at the bank u will be asked which acct u wanna set for NETS purchases and u can only use that specified acct for yr purchases, this is how it works for my Posb ATM. tio bor?

olwen
kept wanting to ask u - are the melts still reserved for me? :p
i'm know i'm super late but if no hv liao, it's perfectly ok. so pie say for putting this off for a long time.
 
olwen,
yah, we can bring our kids to Nex coz they have a open space kids park on the top of the shopping mall. heard tat can bring dogs there for a stroll too.
happy.gif
But it's not opened yet last weekend. have to check when they are opening the park.

potty
think for the start let boy boy sit in the potty first right? yeah gonna find a super 老土 potty for Q oredi..

tvb
I watched 巾帼枭雄1 during my confinement and I quite like it.. but heard that 巾帼枭雄2 story a bit 煽情 is it? But nonetheless I like 邓萃雯 and 黎耀祥... ;)

fifi
wah so fast u go back to work, how's baby?
I still rotting at home neh... next year then go back to work :p

rcb
*pat pat* things will work out k? For the sake of Jalen, just think positively and have a talk with him ok?

cyber monday @ US today
aiming my fitflop leh.. :p
 
ah kiki, wat u toking about? US got special sales ah?
How does BBQ do his big business now? U can start him with potty for his big business.
K is into 2nd week of training. She's dry for the day time

RCB, sayang sayang... Most SG guys are MCP and nvr help in hsewk de, sad to say. And they tend to be more self-centered, forgetting to care about others' feeling
sad.gif

Studio photo is a small thing, dun let it affect ur relationship. K didn't take it too.
Why not write a note to your hubby, letting him know your feelings? Tell him tat u hope he gets more involved in t hsehold and also wish t relationship can b maintained.
 
triangel
oh ic... i blur liao, haha. i saw an ad abt a tvb drama featuring these 2 guys and thought this is the one u hv watched.

lian
so fast K is diaperless during the day liao? good job... my V still refuse to sit potty or go toilet, damn jia lat.

RCB
haiz.. agreed lor alot of men all like tat de. y'day i just mentioned to my hub abt taking studio pics he oso said take for what, waste $$ etc... to them they jus think y do we hv to spend $ lor, but they dun know we are doing it for our kid's sake, for memory sake. aiya, so i oso dun want to mention anymore cos no point oso. abt hsework, if u feel u r tired and want to engage PT help, jus go ahead, end of the day since he doesn't help he can't really stop u from getting help. do try to hv a good talk, dun say harsh words like "i hate u" or what, will spoil the relationship de. take care ya.
 
kiki,
I didnt watch 巾帼枭雄1 but i heard it is nice, too. But 巾帼枭雄2 is nicer.. good show of the yr! hehee

Jes,
yaya... today's wo bao, right? heheee
 


ah jes, on the first few days, got many accidents according to my mum. Slowly, she get t hang of it. But we need to be super naggy lor, keep asking her if want shee shee. Even if she dun want, need to sit her on potty every 1hr or so.
I think V should be no problem if she willing to sit potty, cos she's better in her speech. K uses her action to tell us she want to pass motion
