pegs, if i were in ur shoes, i'll take the 830 to 1230 one..
so during these hours u can go home and prep lunch and dinner ingredients. Then pick him up, lunch, bath and nap.
If 1-5 pm, will it be very rushed for u to prepare dinner (and if u have to take bus, must squeeze with after work crowd?)

PJPJ, i received the FA yesterday! thank you so much

I think it's gd to send them to an ok school, without too many negative influences. But no need to be top school. I went to PAP, neighbourhood Pri, so-called top Sec & JC, still quite dumb sometimes
Character-moulding is impt. Then they will have 'heart' to learn. No point being very smart & having high IQ but no heart to learn. I've heard many stories where kids who cannot keep up in branded schs just give up altogether coz they think it's no point. Very sad

Jul, i agree send them to ok school no need to be top school cos i thk is too stressful if they cannot keep up wif the rest.

my boy started talking only at 2.5yrs old. Before that only bb talk. No daddy, mama etc. I guess we predicted his wants too much and offered stuff without him needing to ask. With our gal we will ask her and she will say yes or no.

Just last night i dreamt that she cried when the iphone was taken away from her and when we ask y she cry she replied "in there got people!"
I think i'm worrying too much. Hahaha.
Pegs, no need to cook lah. Ur jd is tiak tau gey only. Hee.

.Jul,
Ethan's favourite word is also 'Car'. When I frown at that or pretend din hear, cos he's always saying 'car', he came to me & look into my face & say 'che1' (car in mandarin). I wanted to laugh out cos he thot i dun understand what is 'car'. hahahahah!
Now he's starting to say 'No'. When he dun want something, he'll say 'No'. & if we ignore, he'll say 'No, no' like we dun understand what he says.

Oh you have the same PD? Haha you're starting to scare yourself like I did huh? Dun scare yourself lah.
I think I have sort of gotten over it. I've decided to ask the PD the questions that I shd have asked at next mth's visit for Sam's 18 mth booster. Silly me! No point rushing out & enrolling Sam into some class when I don't even know why I need to do so. Duh.. Just make sure you ask Dr Ong properly, not like me hehe
zen
Sam doesn't know CHE. He'll just car CAR <font size="+2">CAR</font> <font size="+2">CAR</font> till I respond. Or bus or bike.. he has this thing for vehicles
Luckily Sam doesn't seem to know No yet. He did "no no no" a few times.. shake his head a few times when we're trying to give him food, but thankfully the refuse-food-stage lasted only 1 week? He's too greedy like me to keep it up for long haha.
