batbat, my boy has been in ifc since Nov and he's been sick a few times. But i have to say, twice, it's becos i was sick too and he kenna from me *oops* The most recent illness was about 2 weeks ago, he kenna roseola. The teachers and the principal so worried, call and sms me to ask if its measles. But it's not, it's false measles, heh. He suddenly kenna high fever on Sat morning at 3am then red dots broke out. By Mon, he is up and running but the red dots took more than a week to fade. Then i kenna high fever also (he passed it to me i think), so for a week, i was at home with him, super tiring. But ok lar...take 1 step at a time. I find the ifc teachers good because they will really take note and update me. Like how they feel that my boy's body feel quite warm thou his temp is fine. His lips abit redder than normal, or his stools abit harder, urine smelly (means heaty). A few times, they even took the initiative to ask the auntie help cook barley water for my boy. I must say they are very delicated
I think it's inevitable that young children fall sick. Even if they stay at home and never fall sick, i feel that this is only just delaying the process...every child will go through this phase but this is just my personal opinion lar. If you are considering to do away with maid, you or your husband must be prepared to take leave at short notice and die die must fetch your kid on time. For 922 ifc, parents are allowed to be late twice a year, after that will kenna fine but i can't rem how much, hehe.
ashwen, i walk out of my block to get to the other side (the yunnan estate side), then i walk along the maid road towards Caltex, then i turn left into Yunnan at the Caltex station. Then i walk through the estate, quite ok...just walk right to the end, then turn left, from there have to cross the traffic light. But for you, i suggest you take bus 241. Because you still have to walk past my area leh! That's a long walk...you take bus faster, really. For me still ok because once i reach the stadium, i'm home liao.
