Morning all....feeling tired too so wearing specs today.
Celynlee,
If I ever go back Royce playgym, it will probably be for the food in liang court. The ramen restaurant on the same level super yummy. Recommend the chicken spicy soup & fried pork belly.
At the basement, there's a Japanese confectionary at the end of the row of shops selling awesome cream puffs. They only release 20 every hour.
As you said rightly with the entrance fee, might as well buy the toys. For the kitchen set, thinking of renting & she can play for 1 mth rather than just 1 hr

goooooood morning! so glad to be back at work.
sarahbaby,
I have worn specs ever since I was pregnant with C2. Dealing w pregnancy and an active toddler means I have no time to put on contacts in the morning. Now, dealing w 2 active toddlers (okok, C2 is not officially a toddler as he cannot toddle properly - yet) means i have even less me time in the morning unless i get up super early.
liang court food is goooooood! try the tampopo black pig ramen next time. 1st floor next to the customer service counter. (near my office, so I can go there everyday if I am at office)
jas,
the concern over your milk not enough in qty and quality is normal.... but not justified. BM is more nutritious for bb at any age. the FM companies prefer us to think otherwise.
try fresh milk in a cup if bb rejects bottle.

How do u all juggle with 1 toddler or rather, 1 baby yet to toddle and pregnancy with No. 2???
I find it very hard and super super tiring.
And my no. 1 is super guai type, he dun cry when he is hungry, juz jump jump jump only... while i take my time go make milk... infact he dun really cry since birth...
BUT i still find it very hard... i feeling sleepy whole day.. and nausea...
For my 1st pregnancy, i seems to walk through it in a daze mode.... suddenly i pregnant, by the time i am awake, i had given birth.... haha dun know how i overcome everthing....

sg_sc,
can just open and let her explore loh. i buy her that salaysian family set (wrong spelling on the name, the cute cute animal family set) states 4 years and above loh. hahaha....
guess what she do? she throw all the furniture out the house, open the door and put car and bus inside the house through the door. cos that's what yu ze do. drive his car into the house. sometimes, he will put that rabbit at the door and say ding dong for a long time till i get another rabbit and open the door for his rabbit from inside. so yu xi actually see what gor gor do and try to follows but the ding dong thing is a bit hard for her so she can only put the car in loh.
then the little tikes kitchen she got, she will climb up the chair and stand on it to open up the door on top to kpo. or stand there and touch here and there. call for help when she wants to come down but don't know how.

Morning all.
Our Myanmmese helper came to us over the weekend and said she wants to go home! Claims that her mum is sick but I think it is more a case of homesickness. Or perhaps she fell out with the Filipina helper. Sigh. And she has only been with us for 5 months and still owes the agent money. I am not sure how she will be able to go home but will leave her to work it out with the agent. Will have to bring her back to the agent later today I think. So sian that I have to go to the hassle of picking another helper and retraining.

oh man i totally understand the woes of this. experienced it the last time when my 1st helper came and was homesick after 3 mths. to make it worse, i was about to go back to work from ML and my MIL totally is defeated by bbL. the thought of it argh. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] hope u can quickly pick a good helper
maybe u can pick an experienced one cause they tend not to be homesick and easier to train but downside is they are smarter and might not listen to what u want them to do cause they already got their fixed patterns le.

my philipines helper is S$340. When she 1st came, super blur. And alot of patterns (mummies here will know!) lolz.. but ok la.. she takes good care of my BbZ so i dun "calculate" with her. Agreement is that, she gets off day only after she pay off her loan so she only get to go for off once a month after her 1st year with me. She's going back this Nov (i think.. she hasn't confirmed if she wanna leave).
To me, no nationality is "more hardworking" or "better". It all boils down to the helper's character leh... and it's a matter of how "good" our luck is.. for being able to "choose" a right helper. lolz

ming: oh dear... must choose those with more years experience. usually if they have been away from home they shd have gotten used to homesickness. but they also have more 'pattern' la. mine gets $360/month with 1 off day. she tried to ask for every sunday off when her off days started but i said no.
Mrsm: I know. Mine too. Would like her to stay another two years if I still want maid lor but also don't want to be put in a situation where my girl will be miserable without the maid lor. In fact now my maid only look after her max an hour in morning before we go work n sometimes evenings or weekends also not more than an hour. Still she loves her so much.
im really interested in www.colourfulhearts.com but the place a bit out of reach for me cuz i prefer travelling by mrt instead of bus.. hmm dunno if i shld try..
the other day some of u were talking abt musikgarten or something near pioneer mrt, what do they do in cls?

Thanks for the concern Maddie and BB Dust.
Just spoke to the agent over lunch and as expected, we were told that the loan is still outstanding and he doesn't see how she can pay her way home. We said that she told us her family will send money to her but the agent said he spoke to her family and they said they have no money. Sigh. Anyway, we made it very clear we don't want to keep her anymore since she has expressed she wants to go home. We did agree though to give her 2 weeks to find another employer and during this time she will be housed at the agent (at our expense unfortunately, but I guess that can't be helped). My hubby said to be prepared that the helper may change her mind and ask to remain with us for the next 3 months until she clears her loan but we both agreed that we will say no. Don't want to risk her playing any tricks while remaining with us.

ming, yes i think u should do that.. once she says she wants to go hm, just let her go.. if she continues to work, who knows what will happen..
my cousin's maid also like that, wanna go hm but no money.. then no choice just continue working but attitude changed TREMENDOUSLY! rude, lazy, etc.. so pls try not to give in cuz anyway she's the one who wants to leave!

Wife resigned from company at end of Dec last yr due to mil illness at that time. Now everthing is stable, she is ready to join working world. Headhunter called her last week said GLC asked whether she is sustainable with mil condition n with our new born. It is such disgusting remark shown by employer with such attitude towards working mom. Who on earth will know what lies ahead. Told wife to forget abt such unempathetic employer...talk able encouraging woman to join workforce...who is leading an example???
