Zen,
ya i agree.. CC the risk of gettin sick is higher but they get to learn more things from a full day schedule n more discipline.. cos i prefer my boi go sch learn things than stay at my IL house leh...
 


fat bobo
yup.. $980 b4 subsidy..

sweetmama
i stay in bedok.. the sparkletot below my house is newer and fully aircon.. the one few blocks away from my house older but i see like fully aircon also.. we havent really go and see the environment coz sunday no open and weekdays by the time HB reach home, they close liao.. so wait for HB to be free then we go see together..
 
piggytoh,
agree sometimes go for the environment, bo pian. me dun like void deck kind. i prefer those landed pte housing estate. shd talk to the center owner since that CH is a franchise to incoporate gym or music appreciation.

me now also head pain dunno where to put edric. I like mondern montessori prg, but far from where i stay.
 
pegs: i made a beef stew for shayna. The stew had bay leaves, oregano, tomato, onion etc... so many strong flavours, maybe will mask up the beef smell... but beef got strong smell meh?

I dunno if shayna noticed anything about the taste or smell cos she usually eats everything... but maybe u can try that for ovann?
 
i think some mummies here shared b4, red dates are good for iron too.. so u can consider adding in red dates into his porridge too?
 
April,
ya lo i also dun like void deck 1... i did ask abt enrichment class but they told me becos the class size is still pretty small but they will look into it.. dunno how true thou...
 
sharon,
Tks for explaining

Hahaa.. think i'll just park my money in savings and earn the meagre interest.

baby s,
Which cut do u use for the beef stew? Hiaz .. Ovann quite resistent to new food. So far he only takes his porrige well. The others like rice/ noodles/ kway teow/ spaghetti, he'll only take a few mouthfuls. Some times i'm so full of inspiration after browsing the cook book, only to be dampened by his resistence to eat wat i have prepared.
 
i eat beef but never bought and cooked beef at home b4 cos i scared cook until too hard. So i bought TENDERloin so it will be tender... hahaha..

really very tender leh!! even cutting thru it was so effortless!!!!! good amount of fat inside too...

i bought the small piece i saw at cold storage and the piece was enough for 3 portions.

u mince the beef really well lor...
 
BabyS, u really inspiring me alot on cooking for jovia i made pork stew for her instead cos cant find such small pc of beef. I din use any herbs jz potato, sweet potato, carrot, onions n little bit soya sauce vy flavoury alr

Fatbobo, i agree with you on the social responsibility part. i read an article by a doctor saying that for those of us with generally healthy kids, skipping the vaccinations (and our children getting the disease) is no big deal, they'll recover. but if enough people don't take the vaccinations, diseases that are almost extinct will come back and there are some children who cannot be vaccinated, e.g. children with cancer, so if they catch the disease, they will die, not from the cancer, but from measles or something cos their resistance is too low to fight it.

The so called link between the MMR and autism isn't really accepted by the medical community. From what I've read, it's just gotten a lot of publicity bcos there's an American actress who's convinced that the MMR caused her son's autism. Then again, I can all understand that no mother wants to take a risk with their children, no matter how small the possibility...

anyway, all that reading gave me a little headache...
 
Bobo, u r right abt social responsibilty. If parents think its hard to catch those diseases then these diseases wouldnt exist in the first place.. And perhaps there isnt such diseases in the community cos singaporeans r vaccinated.

But we cannot always presume we'll be safe. Take tb for example, we all have bcg but tb is on the rise cos foreign talent bring in more than just their talent cos their country wasnt as strict as vaccination as we are..

Sunshine: the actress is jenny macarthy..
 
Donkeymami,
be4 I forgot tt Day u ask for app for iPhone for them rite I DL some babyfirst app the babyfirst mobile r mini tv version from BB tv Kyler like it alot can keep him entertain for some time u go search under baby first got other app u can consider

Re baby first: i have that too.. Its entertaining. But require internet or wifi to use. So if on plane or overseas and u dun want to incur high data roaming charges, cannot use..
 
wah.. i finally collected the foot imprint tingy frm the shopie in KKH yesterday... they told us we were the last.. we said we noe.....bahaha~ of cos la... 2mths latr liao... n hehehe..realised my girls' feet grew of ard 1 to 1.5cm since then. (prolly the mould was compressed at sm point during the process.. but ya.... haha.)
 
piggy: if u go search for babyfirst again in the apps store, they put there in bold that need internet or wifi...

bobo: haha.. now then collect ah..

my mum is very happy with the mould, cos she always said shayna's toes like dolls toe. All the toes all the same level one.. so this mould caught that... but now toes more normal looking cos grow out liao..
 
morning ladies!

not a good morning for me exactly as my current maid told me last night she is not renewing her contract with me (due in Feb'11). I can't sleep well the whole night. She has been wonderful, with her around I can go to work with a peaceful mind especially with my #2. Now I got to start the process all over again and also dunno the next maid will be good or not haiz haiz haiz

Donkeymami,

Thanks for sharing the apps! Aaden unlocks my phone and will also stop the apps whenever i switch it on for him.

Yah, he deleted some apps and even swopped the position of some apps as well, wonder how he did it.
 
piggy and donkeymami: yeah! I got the same problem too!! shayna keeps closing my apps, or hits the button trying to download the paid app...

then when it doesnt play anymore, she passes to me, then when i am trying to get back to the app again she gets impantietn.. hahaha.

dolce: hahaah!!! did u see a fat woman carrying a baby and walking fast into CK? THATS ME!!

excited to see if have or not.. but hor, have also i cannot buy.. unless someone buys over my kodomo wipes.. hahah..

angel wipes selling for $1.90.. wondering if John little will bring the wipes in again now that CK has..
 
joycec: very easy for them to swap the app location.. since they hold the icons down, then get excited and swipe swipe swipe... sure kena rearranged one.. haha
 
haha..yah this is true, he even swop the location of my safari, mail, phone phone icons at the bottom. So most of the time, i will "irriate" him. Will switch off the phone and he will turn it on again by pressing the home button and swiping it...i will do it numerous times to keep him entertain. haha...

April, i am looking for a playgroup for Aaden as well. Cos i want him to learn something also to create some breathing space for my mil who will be taking care of my #2 as well.
 
so cute all the little one, we see their development day by day. i was quite surprised too when my gal knows how to swipe my sis's iphone.

haiz, i really don't understand my gal. she doesn't want to drink milk when me & hubby gave milk bottle to her. she shake her head and do the 'don't wan't' gesture.
i don't understand how come she can go empty stomach to sleep and waking up early without milk.. last night, her grandpa came over and then when i made the milk, she saw it, and again, shake her head, don't want gesture and ran away. then i caught her and said 'ok, gong gong gives'. then quickly ah gong sat and carried her, put the milk bottle in her mouth and she drank.

what does this mean? she don't want ma and pa to give her milk. now i m in the dilemma whether to change the milk powder or what. sigh..................
 
same here.. no mood.

I did a massive clean up of my table last week...

now i cannot find a file containing a lot of important contact numbers..

i think i function better in a messy environment. At least i can still find my things!
 
haha...i had just done some filing till i saw your post. hmm...but i have to ensure that my colleagues can find stuff during my absence...

Emotional blackmail?! Haha...they are very good at that right? Sometimes i will tell aaden, that he is not really upset cos i do not see any tears when he is crying. haha...
 
haha! my boy also always scream cry without tears one. i told him "no tears, no count!"

babys
i find order in my messy table...
happy.gif

and I can tell immediately if someone touch my things though they are all over! haha!
 
kiki: SAME!!!!

my colleagues were so amazed that i came back one day after a visit and said "someone touched my table" even though i wasnt around. my IT guy sat at my table to do something at my table, and must have moved somethings around, yet i can tell..

die lah! i still cannot find my file! (not that its very important, but i have my little notes inside and very useful to me leh..)

I miss my organized mess..

emotional blackmail: yeah they are very good at that. Shayna knows what face and pout to put on according to the situation ..hahaha..
 
kiki
couldn;t help but laugh ' no tears, no count'

zac cries like no body biz with huge drops of tears and snot and everything - even when he's bluffing - many ppl stare when we ignore him in public places, one auntie even say how come we not doing anything. and guess what, Zac immed stop crying, tears also stop like water tap switch off. dun know whether to laugh or to whack him.

eh, anyone here still have trouble looking for childcare/playgroup places for their kids? i still can't find a slot for zac for next year, all places full.
sad.gif
 
Re: iPhone
It's really the best babysitter!
Any more good apps to share?

Re: emotional blackmail
Ryan does that to daddy n mummy only
He behaves so well when my mum takes care of him
But when we r ard or bring him out...he is always not cooperative...wonder if problem lies with us or him?
 
sharon,
ryan sure knows how to bully his daddy n mummy. hmm, i think it's becos sometimes we give in to our kids when they cry, so they will always try their luck, see who reach the limit first :p

hi mummies, may i ask, if my edd was 12 Aug 2009, does that mean my bd date is before or after 12 Nov 2008 ? trying to search when i took leave in nov but couldn't find...
 
joeey/sharon,
my #2 also like to bully me, if with my maid he can play in the toy room for very long once i go in he tekan me point here and there ask me to carry him to where ever :p
 
Hi mummies,

I just went cold storage at Kovan to buy the tenderlion as mentioned by u but they dun hv the butcher counter there, only pre-packed ones. And they dun hv tenderlion, only beef cubes which was stated suitable for stew. I bot these .. hope the meat won't be hard

Indoor playground at Kovan
For those residing in Northeast, just found out that there's this indoor playground at Kovan ... bought ovann there for him to climb and monkey around. Remember to bring yr own socks cos it cost $3 a pair if buy from them.
 
celine,

It's at Blk 206, at where the old interchange used to be. Anyway, forget abt the blk, i was searching for it just now and was scratching my head cos i saw blks 203, 204, 205, and then 207 and 208. Where on earth is 206??!! Hiaz .. it's just at the end of the interchange lah, a small white building. My mum & i were sweating like hell cos we walked 1 big round b4 we found it.

reira,
It's called Bouncing Kids. http://www.bouncingkids.com.sg/index.html The place is alittle small compared to peek-a-boo but i wldn't mind since it's near me
happy.gif


Ooh ... meet up next monday! What time?
 
BabyS: I have some clothing to donate. But the place is kinda far for me. I used to accumulate 1 big bag then I drop at bt timah salvation army coz I stay at bt batok.

So happy my hk trip is booked..thanks to the gd recommendationz from the mummies here. I m staying at prudential hotel, cant wait for deepavali to come.
 


Hi mummies, the thing abt MMR and what raise the red flag is because my col's son age of 3 is identified as slight autism by the school teacher... her son is still in the process of professional assessment. According to her, she is not able to claim if MMR has caused it but she did some research and found that individual shot of the MMR does not contain those chemical that is as harmful as the combined shot... but still having said this... all these are off the web. She say there are not autism case in both her family or the HB family. She has a younger child and she decided to go for separated shot to minimize the risk.

I made the enquiry at my child PD clinic, if there are parents who delay the MMR injection. The clinic say there are due to concern of suspected case of autism caused by MMR. When enquired on separate shots, the clinic mentioned that it is possible but the cost of combined shot is less than 50 but 3 separate shot is 300!!!
