every year there are a few cases . diving is never a safe sport ... ( you know the chinese saying can bully mountain cannot bully sea) but if you play by the rules ...it can still be quiet safe

for these fatality it is usually misjudgement or over confident and push their luck

I am still wearing all my pre-pregnancy swimwear... Although boobs are bigger, but still can fit.

If you can wear back your old one then continue wearing lah....

I also just started to learn to swim in March, then by the time to progress from breaststroke to freestyle, got pregnant leh... actually I dun like to go swimming... i find it troublesome! But if go beach hols or resort, i will definitely go swimming la... I prefer snorkelling hahaha

you cannot wear bikini in public pool hor...must wear those modest ones

Fishes only attack when u have food in your hand or you are hovering above their nest and they see it as u are invading their space or stealing their egg and they will get aggressive to protect the nest

Btw if u going snorkeling please do it in pair !!! Never leave each other .. My Ex colleague drown there last year cos she and hubby break away from each other

Actually that's the reason why I never took up diving, even though I love the underwater world and my BIL is a certified instructor. I have heard and read too much stories about things happening when ppl are out on dive trip.

My dad went diving at dayang ( his first OW).He said... always respect the sea. He encountered some distress and he seems kinda scared to go now

Wah. Ur gal so li hai. Can speak in sentences at age of 2. My boy stil nt able to speak properly. Hw u teach? My boy stil playin at hm. Goin to send him to sch at 4yo. So gotten start homeschoolin him but nt sure hw to start. Haiz.

Nowadays many kids can talk quite early! Both my kids started talking at 10 months old so by 18 months old they could form sentences. I don't make any conscious effort to teach them to talk. But i read a lot to them since birth. My girl used to go for weekly playdates with my group of sahm friends since 1 year old. And we used to conduct weekly learning sessions at each other's homes too! Just keep talking to him and he will pick up gradually. Every child progresses differently so don't worry first. He is still so young! You can start by setting aside 5 to 10 minutes a day to sit down and read to him. You can only start homeschooling when he can verbalise and know his abc/123. I use letterland phonics materials to teach the kids. No more than 30 minutes a day, sometimes split into two sessions. :)
 
This is one not so high Tec la...only hear fetal hb... Provided I can determine correctly...hahaha

Nice! Now with baby's movement everyday I'm not as paranoid as before..This doppler will be a good reassurance for you but did u check how often u can use it? Read somewhere someone's gynae did not encourage her to use cos every time she used it her baby will give a big kick haha..So she said baby might be irritated by the sound waves or sth..

Agree with you that alot of factors are to be considered as well. Just got me thinking when my colleague mentioned abt her son lagging behind his peers in P1. Teaching in a top pri school myself, I'll definitely not put my child in a top sch next time. Our education system is already stressful as it is. If they can do well enough to be considered average it should be good enough for me. Anything better is a bonus. I see how parents drill their kids for GEP and exams and I feel sad for them. During our time, studying was so much simpler and more enjoyable. Now, pick any one kid and chances are high that he/she attends enrichment classes outside. My pupils can tell me they have tuition everyday. Then I also wonder abt those who can't afford tuition..will they always lag behind their peers? Well..For me I just want my kids to be healthy and happy!

Totally agree with you. And this is coming from a teacher! Wow. After hearing you say all these, I think I don't regret my decision of not sending the kids for academic enrichment. I really don't see a point in joining the rat race. I have friends who send as early as 3 months old and her kid could do secondary school maths by K1. Sometimes they tell me I deprive my girl of such opportunities. But I really just want them to enjoy their childhood the way they should. It's so sad right. I think the worse part is most of these kids have very high IQ but lack EQ. Hopefully this new generation will stop joining in the rat race and just let kids be kids.

actually 3 hrs kindy, i find kids learn more... academically... my girl in child care, the school work also quite disruptive and you are right. for those basic skills like self-feeding, toilet training and social gathering... child care learn faster...but academic wise may not be as good as kindy

but child care has its cons... lots of times, the children pick up the not so nice things from other classmates just as fast!

Looks like there are really pros and cons when it comes to childcare. What I worry most is actually the falling sick part. Cough and flu I still can accept, but I see some kids coming down with stomach flu and hfmd so often. Really quite pitiful!
