Last time I used to go to Beyond Beauty.
Since the pregnancy of my second boy, didn't do facial anymore.
Think there are a few in Lot 1 and Yew Tee Square. You can just walk around and check with them to see whether there is any good package. Give us feedback after that ok?
Good luck!

I just visited Mulberry. I don't like the centre coz the classrooms are quite small and the toilet is also small. And the school fee is extremely high , have not included the outing fees yet.
As for Ichiban, all teachers are from China, I guess coz all of them speak in China chinese slang. The principal said the centre is currently full. If I am keen, I need to paid deposit first in order to be put into waiting list.
Anybody has any comment for Greenfield Montessori which is just a few houses away from Ichiban ? I have not visited it yet.
Thanks !

Hi Ashley
Now the maids transfer thingy gives me headache....
my granny's maid has been in singapore for about 7 years.... at least 4 years with my relative (not close to them) + 2 years with outside family (she did not continue cos they don wan her to take leave twice a month after 2 years) + 10 months with my granny.
my relative (her ex-employer) wants to take her back but she takes my offer cos i offer higher.
her work seems quite consistent, very 'auto' to do housework (having said that, the family always have someone at home) so I am also not sure her standard can maintain at my family cos she will be home alone.
we wanted to take her cos she can cook very well and need no training. My relative (not very close) hubby is in chi zhar industry, so she learnt her cooking from the family.
one value added, she can speak mandarin! but that also mean I cannot gossip about her when she is around hahahaha....

Hi Jo,
Yes your requirements and my requirements are different lol hehe, so can't compare. For me now I will go for someone with good character and obidient as her main job is to look after the baby. Housework and cooking we need to "endure" a little hehe. Having said that, my current maid cooks quite well.
Actually for you, housework and cooking are important, both boys are at school, so I think it's a good decision to take this maid.
Good luck!!

Hello CCK Mummies,
Happy Dragon to all of you and family
Hi Joan,
For my kids' CC, the Principal / Teacher will call us immediately on the same day if my kids got bruises or scratches to explain the situation without us having to confront them.
Actually, this is not the first time I heard such feedback from Kinderland CCK. That was about 2 yrs ago and the mummy has since withdrawn her child from that CC.
Hi Jo - When I pick my maid, I made sure she is not born in the year of Tiger as all of us in the family are of small zodiac. Cannot let the tiger "eat" us up....superstitious hor
Its not easy to find a good maid. My current maid has been with us for 2.5yrs now and so far so good, tho' she is not very clean in her cleaning. But, she learnt how to cook and can get along with my kids very well. She is actually applying to go Canada to work. If she is short-listed, then we will have to let her go.

Hi Jo,
Although I do not scold my maids, I feel a little uneasy if the maid tells me that I must talk nicely to her and not to scold her.
Guess it's just me who do not like to be told to do, or not to do something hehe.
By the way, I used to think there were not many good schools around CCK, now I must say there are plenty of preschools and schools in CCK/YT. Cos there aren't many schools around my new place lol. Branded schools, yes, but too ex. So suddenly found myself in a tiring preschool search again, haiz.

looking for maid is so tiring and really heng suay.
ashley
where is your new place?
as for the maid long story, agent/MOM said i must pick up the maid and can only transfer after she receive her work permit card!!! so i got to live with the maid for one week plus... then transfer her out again... if she can click with me, i might just keep her... ;-p but there are a few interested families waiting to see her. Now i can't let them interview her cos she is going to be home alone at my place... i will not want her to know that she will be transferred.

Wow....$1.2k CC fees. That is very high esp in HDB estate.
The $300 subsidy for FTWM is grossly insufficient already.

i also wow.... 1.2k! might as well top up a couple of hundreds to go Pat's schoolhouse which includes external enrichment classes!
now i really think columbia learning is really cheap and good.... $900 plus (before subsidy) with very good principal and academic curriculum... just that it is too far from cck:-(

I heard its childcare is not bad and quite cheap... just that i don't have the heart to change wz's childcare again... don't wan him to adapt to new environment again.... the next change will be when he goes P1

Hi Jo,
You are right, should not change his childcare now if there is nothing wrong with the school.
I also hope this time D can stay with the new school until he enters P1.
As for the KW, you mean students will use the same premise as the preschoolers?
I'm actually thinking of the other branch of KW at Environment Building.

Hi Sunny,
My son is currently in AS CCK too! Which class are your kids in? Mine is in Nursery.
I heard about Yuyuan too but read some not so good comments on the forum. A center can be immersed in Chinese without being too "China". I feel this one is a bit too Chinese.
Hi Jo,
Yesterday I went to visit the KW at Env Building and the teacher asked me to visit the one at Newton. I may go there to visit another day
Thanks for the info! By the way, you mentioned Cherie Heart at Bugis was good, may I know which one? Cos there are 2 around Bugis, one at Purvis Street and one at Beach Road (Keypoint). Thanks!

Hi Sunny,
Forgot to tell you, that kid is my kid haha
)
Actually he didn't have any symptom, just a red dot on his finger, so the teacher called us, my hb immediately brought him to see the ped and immediately the ped said he's got HFMD
He has been resting at home since last Friday, hopefully nothing else develops.
And I pray hard he won't pass it to his baby brother.
By the way, I think I know your son's name. Heard my son mentioned a few times

Also, it's really frustrating that we cannot do anything to prevent HFMD. I mean, after seeing the ped, he did not give us any med, because my son has no fever or anything, just asked him to rest at home. Like waiting for the symptom to come and then go back for medicine? Made us feel helpless
Hi Sunny,
Yes we just let him rest at home. Thursday will see the doctor again to see whether next week he can go back to school. We are staying at my mil place at the moment so my maid and mil help to take care of him and my younger boy.
My son commented that YZ is bigger than him haha.

Hi Rebekah,
Personally I think AS has improved a lot from the time when my son just joined (1 year ago). Communication between the school and parents are better (via email).
Teachers are still the most important. If your kid takes school bus, be aware cos some kids have the tendency to beat others in the bus lol.

another case reported in our boys' class. when i fetched my boy yesterday, i saw that there were just a few of kids attending the class.
haha... your boy said that? my boy is small size leh. hahaha...
kids beat others in the bus? wow... thought they have bus auntie to jaga them.
rebekah
teachers in playgroup are nice and caring, IMO. Only a teacher who's quite stern when talking to the kids. But, she's ok lah. my 2 kids were in her class before, quite scare of her in fact.

Hi mummies,
I am new to this forum, I am staying at choa chu kang. I intend to enroll my boy to Childcare when he reach 18 months but most of the so-call good 1 are fully book and waiting list very long. Any review of Mulberry at CCK's sport complex? I have been there last week, overall is ok but the space a bit small. I am surprising about their ratio, almost 2:20! Mummies here, any other CC to recommend? How about Amazing Star @ St 51 and L Kids @ CCK Crescent?
