I also have two girls! Elder one 2yo, younger one 2.5mths.
You still young lah, at least you still in your twenties and already a proud mom of two.
I'm staying near the Meridian LRT. You must be located near Punggol Plaza? My unit also has garden view.
<font color="0000ff">Xpink,</font>
Youth is already your 'ben qian', how auntie can you be. I try to doll up but still very auntie.

just pop by the school you are interested in. during P1 registration period, there will be a map displayed outside the Office that show all the blocks that are within 1 km radius
tingkat from Neo Garden. $190 per month. Hubby likes the food, suit his taste bud although quite salty sometimes

I am thinking of doing it before my maternity leave ends but this week my gal kena an outbreak of rashes, now just recovered. Hopefully I can get a good passport photo of hers this weekend. Are you taking your own photo or going to photo shop?

caymom : i sent her to alot of playgroup trial before.
but she's too hyperactive and won't stay still for a minute.
she will just keep walking around and disturbing others.
she doesn't like ppl to teach her what to do, she prefer doing things on her own.
very stubborn baby. lol

Xpink,
Same here. Sent my gal to lotsa trials but she cannot sit still, forever walking around. If we force her to sit down, she will wail the whole class down. So paiseh leh. But the teachers told me nowadays kids are like that one. They have a mind of their own, cannot force. They said after a few class, they will follow the rest and sit down.
I signed up my gal for a phonics class (I sit in with her) near my home and for the whole term, she is rarely cooperative. When teacher wants to hold her hands to write, she will flare up and she even hit the teacher once. The teacher 'complained' to me a couple of time and eventually, she 'gave up' on my gal. Sigh.
Anyway, I will send her to playgroup next year. She has to learn to be independent lah. Hopefully she will be more guai after attending school.

I didn't get a menu. Everyday we have surprises when we received the food
my girls don't like veg dishes so most of the times quite wasteful since hubby & I can't finish it. My girls don't take spicy food either. What we did is to standby pork floss or eggs in case the dishes that day are not to their liking
Does Happy Catering deliver lunch? I cater lunch only and very few caterers deliver lunch

Oh, I know which photo shop you are going. I used to take photo there too.
My gal recovered from rashes liao but too bz during the weekend to take for her. Besides, she can't sit still for me to take leh. Sigh. Maybe I should bring her to photo shop too.
<font color="ff6000">Wendypooh,</font>
Wah, your hse is sold so fast. How did you advertise? On newspapers?
Hmm.. I haven't sign exclusive with any agent yet. My main focus is to look for a flat first.

Hi Caymon
Ya is sound so fast but before that we do lot of preparation work liek spreading word to friend and relative but it doesnt working and we are quite stress over it. Later a friend tell us to advertise in Strait Time and Chinese paper.
After tat, lot of agent call up for viewing we allow them to bring buyer in to view but make it clear to them they represent buyer and not u. Tell them straight tat you are not paying them any comission. Some agent will run but some will still come esp Punggol area.
After tat if got any buyer offer, see tat particular agent attitide if you happy wif their service, maybe then u can consider offering them a small percnetage of commission and they will somehow help to drag yur price higher a bit. This is wat happen to me. So now this agent will do paper work for me since i pay him.
I am happy wif my current agent cos he bot in a few potiential buyer and 2 of them offer us the deal and we took the higher one.
maybe u can ask hippo for some help, she do it all DIY

it popular among the youngster, and it still quite new. me too i like the environment very much, we took and drag a long time before we decide. If not had suceess in the ballot dun tink we will shift so fast cos i dun like resale and lazy to find. even after the ballot we still hesitate to go ahead or not just tat our q number is too good for us to reject so we go ahead.
i love my current flat very much kind of rare interior design and layout. my blk had a bug square kitchen tat why can sell faster.
we had no choice but to shift back, every morning see the kids so tired oso sad

Wendypooh,
Same here. That is one reason why we are still taking our own sweet time to consider. I dun like resale too but I guess I dun have a choice now. Too bad never strike TOTO, or else can consider buy condo.
My unit has big kitchen and living room but the rooms (other than master bedroom) are very small. No place to put a bed in my children's room.

hehe, I love my Sembawang flat too, away from the main road (quiet) with a garden view & yet so near to MRT. layout is nice & squarish too
We postponed for 1 year, only sell in the 6th year because cannot drag any more, need to move to Bedok to start volunteering in my girl's primary school
We sold within 10 days with 2 offers. But that time property market not hot yet, Sembawang 5 room all selling below valuation so we considered ourselves lucky to sell so quickly with offers above valuation

Hippo,
Seems like most people move because of the kids.
When I moved to Punggol after marriage, the surroundings were so quiet that I actually felt scared to go home alone. It's so different at Bedok. I remembered I used to work late nights and I'm not that scared even if I have to come home after midnight.
BTW, how did you buy a flat on your own? You advertise?

I called up the seller's agent who advertised to view the flat. Seller's agent get commission from selling the flat and I will tell communicate upfront that I am bringing my own witness & doing my own paperwork, so will not be paying commission lor
Seller's agent usually don't mind since they don't get commission from buyer anyway if another agent is representing me.

do you cook? how much time do you spend preparing & cooking? any simple receipes to share?
thinking of cooking personally but hubby is skeptical. That shows how much confidence he has in my cooking capabilities
gathering ideas first just to make sure it's manageable

Big failure too. My gal simply refused to sit still leh. So angry with her. My hb said she will not cooperate even if we bring her to the photo shop leh. So gan cheong now because not much time left. Do you think it is possible to use the passport? Although can see the my gal looks much older but feature wise still the same. Dunno whether they are more lenient with kids.
I haven't start solids. My GP suggests feeding cereal when she turns 4mths in two weeks time. Maybe I will start with some brown rice cereal and see her reaction.

I had the intention to send my first kid to cc initially but since my mom can cope with my gals, we dropped the idea. My elder gal will create havoc at home but in front of my mom, she is more obedient. My baby is also more peaceful after my mom takes care of her. My mom always says that I am not skilful in taking care of kids.

I'm not good in cooking.. so I always buy brown rice powder.
