Hmm... nowadays nothing is safe in this world... what ever we use there is sure contamination... we might now know now... but do we have choice? we can never be 100% sure...
food we eat also contaminated with all kinds of things... pesticide... genetic modified food... farmed fishes and animals are controlled hormonally to increase their biomass... did you know that many places overfishing has occurred? sigh the world is really getting old...

With this in mind, I suddenly feel that if having more kids in this world seems to be causing more harm to them. Very funny thought I have esp I like to have many children myself. Weird - something must be wrong inside me. Hopefully this is not depression, hahaaa..

clovy, db, as parents all we can do is to nurture, love & guide our children to find their place in this world as they grow and learn. Just take it 1 step a time, no pt worrying over things not within our control.

Hi mummies, I only use Aloevera products for my children, natural. Cos, now children can get cancer at young age..due to many reasons. Since I studied nutrition before, knowing the different now having so many instant n polluted products. Milk also hav problem..growth hormon injected into cow, end result, children againg(have period earlier)..hormon imbalance..etc.
good morning!!! Yeah, i love to bake and eat cakes! (and butter cookies)
aiyo, to me woodgrove pri vry tough, just my opinion. i am the traditional type when it comes to education la... i think too difficult la... but of course also i am not well educated myself
i am very confused about the way the syllabus they have in school now, so different from what we were taught back then; and always so many types of streaming and banding etc etc. aiyo when i attend the school talks i really can faint
not smart people like that one la...
Jo is right here.... growth hormone injection so common now. doctor advised dont take too much chicken. few years ago my niece already had her period at around 8 years old.

cakes and bakes - ya nowadays edu sys so complicated and confusing with freq changes. I was working in a Pri Sch library once and P2 students have to standup and talk about a fav toy...wow! During my time juz hv to guai guai sit in class and listen passively to the teacher.
Do u network with other mommies in the school to share info and get tips?

only talk with one or two mommies from the same school (same level), sometimes they teach at different pace... i also dun know why. same level right? pri 2 & 3 some more got mega class la, good classes start from E,F la, then followed by G, H la.... and the least performing class is A... i think it is very demoralising if the kid from class A understands this grouping

<font color="0000ff"> juzyounme, must see whether the spoom can be sterilized. otherwise just pour with hot water after wash.
at least your boss alllow,, just have to proof you can still perform your job well even though the time is change. anyway you still be at office the same period of hours. That what i dun like abt spore companied & boss. AS long as we do the work finish, it doent matter how many hours we work, our productivity is not based on time... doesn mean you work OT mean you does your work very well... but sad to say this is the practise in many companies on Spore

i called kinderland to kpo abt their toddler childcare from 18mths onwards. after govt subsidy it's $630. i did check with a private operated childcare 2 blks away from my blk, they charge $250 after govt subsidy. why such a big price difference? is kinderland really good? But kinderland on Sat will end at 1pm. i don't think i can be in time to fetch kid.
becky_cat - hmm, i think the pigeon brand spoon didn't say need to sterilise or not. i think just hot water will do. my boss comes in late n goes off late, that's why she doesn't like me to start n end early. btw, i wanted to check with u telon oil with every diaper change... use until baby how old?

juzyounme, kinderland is a branded name that is why the price is so much difference... by the way my fren did complain that her son cannot even read at K1 when he was with kinderland because it seems that kinderland focus more on creative work etc... so she pull him out and teach him how to read herself... within 2 months her boy can read liao.... i believe most childcare on saturday will end at 1pm...

Hi mummies and welcome cakes and bakes to our Woodlands thread.
Agreed with db that everything we eat have to be in moderation. Even organic food is not 100% safe.
As for primary school, my cousin and her husband (both teachers) told me to be extremely careful in my selection. If i have to let my girl attend a neighbourhood primary school, it has to be the best.....gosh! So mummies, which neighbourhood primary school in Woodlands is the best??? Admiralty Primary? I sian liao leh....have to volunteer my service to the school.....

hi juzyounme
Branded school like Kinderland, Learning Vision, Cherries Heart etc are not cheap. When you look at the curriculumn, they tend to offer more e.g. Kinderland has music lesson that is conducted by a Yamaha teacher, Learning Vision uses an Australian program etc.
But, it does not mean that your child will learn to read when in such branded ctrs. Most of the time the teachers are busy taking care of the kids, rather than checking to see whether the kids are really listening.

<font color="aa00aa">welcome to new mummies!!!!!
gerls,
guess what..i went to LSH open house last week and being kiasu me and hubby registered faiq for the 3 hr playgroup there to start in Jan 2010.
my hubby said nevermind, just pay first to book a slot then we can decide later if we want to carry on or forfeit it.
we still have to check another 2 more schools..Eager Beaver @ Safra Yishun and Phyllis Riccia @ Woodgrove.
will start faiq on playgroup first then few months down the road will convert to half day cc and then to full day cc cos if my ttc is successful, faiq has to be in cc by the time the new baby comes.
my mil sure cannot handle a tot and baby at the same time alone.</font>

db - eh, most childcare ends at 1pm on Sat? i know NTUC ones end at 2pm. if really ending at 1pm, then i must really work hard to look for a 5 day work week.
Mummy to PrincessA - i also want to know what are the good schools in Woodlands. I think Marsiling Pri which is nearest to my house is damn ulu. they don't even have any banner up to boast of their achievements. i don't even know how to check what are the schools within 1km. Hmm, i think my baby will go all the way from infant care to childcare. just that we are thinking of switching centre when he is 18mths to somewhere nearer.
lynzi - new baby? u r pregnant? or ttc?

Mummy to PrincessA, what happened to mommies in the egg-peg BP? Not another fraud case I hope.
Do you all buy stuff from BP? I did but mostly small & inexpensive items and fortunately all positive experience.
