WHAHAHAH. 2 SLOTS OF 8 COMPLETED.. WELL DONE LADIES.. U GIRLS HAVE THE PONTENTIAL .. HAHAHA

ok i better call up gug to inform them..
we still have 21 aug!

let me negiotiate.. if we could have 2 days of 12 each.. then we can strike out 21 aug..

 

[astro_pro]

nlimm: i spoke to anohter person. janna..
let me call and see how..

 

[candy_white]

Shugar: Astro has done the job for u!

 

[crystallized]

Astro
i either days oso can (28/8 or 4/9) i juz gg for fun!

if can squeeze everyone in, will b v fun! But of coz, impossible lah.

Shugar,
I found a sample of the collage in my ofc PC but i cant access my email/FB during work. DUH! anyway astro alrdy emailed u rite? so i'm extra liao! hahaha

nlimm,
if i suggest will sure b indoor playgrd! hahaha... like eXplorer kids! but not sure wat issit 4 our babies... tods like my son will go crazy there thou!

 

[yeet7]

Wah! Just one hour away and you ppl come alive???

Thanks Cat! Hahah...I read until blur...think as long as someone updated for me, I think it's ok.

 

[bbseed]

wah its super happening with all the playdates.

I'm ok with all the playdates anytime except on sat from 10 sept onwards coz my boy having his swimming class and sunday my boy has got his LNT class from 12pm to 1pm.

and I'm seeing "stars" now due to being lazy and never come into the forum to check the latest updates. haha..

astro: the gug class for 28 aug is full?? coz I would like the join the 28 aug one.. and more thing can send me the invitation for the googlegroup have FB you my email address (which is the same I'm using). thanks..

and also I would like to join all playdates. invite me please.

 

[astro_pro]

ladies.. hohoho.
no fear. ha!

we can still have our slots of 8.. i spoke to debbie on the phone liao.. negiotiated a win-win situation.. we keep our slots of 8 for 28 aug and 4 sept.. but maybe at most we might be split into 2 classes of 4 in the same timing on the same day lah.. but ok right?

the reason cited was coz they had experience doing this kind of catered class.. and horrid results. coz all bbs are new and then they wun know what to expect and the outcome won't be good. i recalled my own experience with teng. ya. we had like 5 of us in one already running group.. so pretty consistent them. and i think the reason offered is valid..

SO.. we keep our slots..
21 aug is still available..
i would try to email debbie asap.. to secure our slots.. i tink all details would be in by tomorrow liao. hahhaa

21 aug still up for grabs

as for nlimm's question on offer if signing up..
they offered a cash voucher of $50 which u can redeem for school fees IF u signed up at mountbatten as one of the first 50 and voucher can only be used in the second term..... (as expected lah

)..
other two centres.. the voucher is not applicable..

ladies ah. kekeke... in the google page. i mentioned u cld tt the $ to me and ipay for u if u are ok with it. but for 4 sept one lah. other two slots can do it urself on the spot
those i already received. i will pay for u. but can remind me?

 

[fifidoog]

jrrt,
explorer kids. i went there last night for a birthday party. THAT PLACE IS NOT FOR BABIES OUR AGE! it makes polliwogs look like baby play. it was so super rowdy with the older kids running amock. there's a tiny "toddler" area with a small ball pit and some soft structures which honestly didn't look very clean to me. anyhow, we were there just a little while. was waiting to get out of there. for mummies with kids around 4-6 i think that's the perfect age. our bubs probably need to wait quite awhile before that place is suitable for us.

[astro_pro]

whohoho.. pple. sometimes in life.. u never try. u wun know! i called up to try my luck again. (trying to expand the list to 10 per day. but cannot..) however it turns out..
NOW.. ALL OF US (8 FOR AUG 28, 8 FOR SEPT 4) ALL GOES INTO ONE ROOM

i hope our bbs wu nbe too distracted and get overwhelmed.. so i think we have to stick to 8 per day..

i told her 21 aug.. maybe too soon..
she offered me the following week 11 sept as well leh.. so i put that slot in google groups..

i am quite sure some of us here have not sign up yet

coz debbies just discussed with her mgt. they can't find another 2 teachers to run two classes co-currently..

 

[astro_pro]

esther.. that last slot for 4 sept has been taken by shugar.. and glass..

we will wait for htem to fill in the necessary details by thursday.. if not then have to release the slot to u or other mummies ..

so. maybe u could consider 21 aug or 11 sept?
i can still call up to help u arrange..

for 11 sept.. u cld tt me the $$ coz promotion ends month of aug if u are comfortable..

like i say. i am quite sure some of us have not signed up yet

 

[crystallized]

hippo
thks 4 the update on explorer kids. i only brot my elder there once (din check the babies area) nd he went crazy there... literally! he was like a dog (very apt since he's born in the year of dog) let loose! he cannot stop running, screaming and laughing; all at the same time! even then, eventually when a grp of 10-12 big kids abt 12 yrs old came along and I was so worried he wld b trampled over by then coz they were so rough... and the big kids were playing catching in tt confined area! Surely some smaller sized kids wld be pushed and stepped on! Luckily by then my son had been at it for > 1 hr and tired out, so he willingly let me whisk him away *phew*

Ok then scrap EK since its not suitable...

RE: GUG trial
Thot Shugar put her name on 4 sep slot?

As for payment, we do that on the spot on tt day can rite? Easier lah.

 

[bbseed]

astro: ok in that case i sign up for 11 sept.
i tt the money to you. thanks..

how do i fill in the details?

 

[astro_pro]

SLOT B (28 Aug) closed.

Slot C (4 sept) pending adding in details from glass and shugar.. by thursday pls..

[astro_pro]

Jrrt: u are on sept 4 slot right? promotion ends august.. so hence must make payment in the month of august .. i cld do the payment for u if u are comfortable. else i think u have to go down by urself..

[sunnyling]

babytum,

You can apply online and is cheaper to apply online than manual. Yes you need to took a pic and put on the form to submit.

 

[babytum]

sunnyling>>> but hw to take photo? she cant sit still? cos i rem when we adults apply they are quite particular abt the type of photos, etc.. need white backgrd is it? sit on high chair can?

thanks shugar!
i will find a gummy grin of bally soon. btw.. any age range.. infant.. how many months old?

fyi.. that collage (sitting in trolley) were done around 7 mths.. when the bbs cld sit in trolleys..

asking this coz implication mightbe someof us show infant wide gummy grin, while some show 10 mths gummy grin.. the difference is very big ah!

this is more solemn.. read a paper saying doctor giving med to bb .. which were meant for toddlers!
gosh. we need to be careful.. think i cld start a page of med not to be taken under 1.. on google page :s
