Mummies/SAHM staying at Jurong

[etelle]

jenie
what i know is not to start early cuz milk is still the main source of nutrients and unless ur kiddo has problems with rinking milk then u shd start slis early if not then start solids near 6 mths should be a fine time. Cuz once they start solids milk intake will start to decrease mah

 

[jenie_1979]

Etelle and Venus
Oic. Now then i start to remember again. I only know something about allergy.
May,

Good Morning gals,

Aye!! those r oven cooking leh.. whole gist is simply marinate it well n dump it in!! SIMPLE RITE~ that's y hb like it.

But can see from above even simple moves can make yummy food mah... hehehhe, want me to post up some of the recipes?

 

[brendali]

Hi all,

Jay coming to 9 months soon... now having 4 teeth erupting. super cranky n clingy

But he knows how to cruise already n happily doing 'disappearing' acts. Just 2 days back MIA, made Jem and I ran around the hse screaming for him. End up found him at the shower area playing w bath toys.. *faintz* that's 1 con abt having bi-fold doors, can't close

Jem is out of the c/c and now at home going thru home schooling. haiz~ hopefully i can cope with teaching both since Jay also reach the time to train motor skills

How r the rest of the babies here? keep me update leh... i mia so long already need to refresh a bit

 

[etelle]

brenda
sure sure share with us the recipes hee wow u also going to do home schooling with him ah think u can la u always organise alot of activities with him i be one lazy mum i think

my son dearie now 14 mths le well can walk around the whole house le...hee quite clingy also but still manageable...

 

[jenie_1979]

Brenda
The food really yummy. Too bad i too lazy to learn to cook too.
Fionne is now 22months. I have put her in a 2 hour playground for her to learn and interact. Glad that she loves to attend school and enjoying herself there.
Hopefully my hubby allows me to go there and look around. He is so scared of me spending too much money there.
Etelle
Wow time really flies. Your son is already 14mth liao.
May,
So your new company nearby?

 

[brendali]

Wow! this thread really needs a lot of efforts to revive..hahhaha

The recipes for oven baking...

1st pic u see are actually crayfish w ham and cheese. Din really enjoy cos i personally finds prawn meat sweeter leh.

Marination for the lobster for 30mins:
1tsp thyme
1tsp salt
1tbsp wine
3 cloves garlic (smashed)

Preheat oven to 200`C. Bake for 20 mins with grated cheese and diced ham spread onto the crayfish

===========

2nd dish is BAked Crab with Chilli and Salt. YUM !!

Ingredient :
1(800gm) crab
40g butter
20ml white rice wine

MArinade :
1/2 tsp five-spice powder
1tsp salt
1 tbsp minced ginger
1 tbsp minced onion
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp minced chilli

MEthod:
Remove yop shell of crab and clean thoroughly. Fry Marinade w a little oil till fragrant. Leave to cool then mix well w crab for 2hrs.

Preheat oven to 200`C. Smear crab with butter and wrap w aluminium foil. Bake for 15mins.

Unwrap foil and drizzle wine on crab. Continue to bake for 5mins and serve.
================

Then the rest are roasted pork and grilled fish. Roasted pork if u r not very health concious.. go out to buy lah! so much more convenient rite~ my hb roast to cut down on salt cos i havta watch my salt intake.

Grill fish r easy dishes... hehehe, easiest will be buy Kikkoman's Terriyaki sauce and grill. But dun use on kids hor... many moms let kids eat terriyaki stuff w/o realising there's alcohol content in it.

 

[brendali]

Etelle,
so fun hor.. to see him walking arnd around. Headache comes when they start top run n crash into stuff or climb hi-lo *faintz*

Now looking forward to try their hi-tea buffet at $16.90+++ ...hheheheh

 

[etelle]

brenda

May

jenie

me hor thinking of teaching Ethan myself le not thinking of sending him to playgroup le...but still thinking about it.

May
alot of babies this piglet year le...like baby boom le...

By the way ladies i am pregnant le

6 wk and 6 days

 

[jenie_1979]

Brenda,
I havent thought of having a birthday party for her yet. The thought of thinking who to invite and sending out invitation is quite sian.So maybe just a small celebration. Have to discuss with hubby first. Will definately get a cake. Maybe a barney cake coz she likes barney very much. I went to unilever yesterday but didnt manage to anything coz the whole place is quite crowded. Hubby complaining the queue too long so don't want to wait.
May,
You definately want your baby to be smaller when they are older. Now she is approaching the terrible 2 really very tired to look after her coz she always climbing around and touching things so must be careful.
Etelle
Congrat to you. So happy for you. I am thinking of having a little piglet too but too bad don't think i can have one coz hubby not cooperative. Im sending Fionne to a playgroup at the rc at Blk 656c. The fee is $390 for 10 weeks and the min age is 18mth. If you can teach yourself of course it will be better coz it really need alot of patient and discipline. For me, i don't think i have it.

 

[shylyn]

Hi Ladies
mia for sooo long..hee..glad to see this thread alive again..all thks to Brenda ^_^

Btw, Ivec has just celebrated his 1 yr old b/d last Wed..we had a mini b/d celebration at home with close relatives..didn't do a big one as my hub prefers to keep it small since we had a big one during his one mth anyway, here r some photos to share!

Wall deco of Ivec's stage by stage photos

Ivec's delicious yummy chocolate cake! Really gd man..highly recommended if any of u thinking of ordering cakes..somemore this lady stays near to us & will deliver foc for those staying in Jurong.

 

[shylyn]

However, really a waste cos Ivec was rather cranky that day though its his b/d, so the photos we took with him, showed most of his unhappy & cranky look

Etelle
Congrats!!! Wow..really peifu u man...in fact, i always peifu those with 2 or more children, cos 1 is really an investment in terms of time, effort & energy...esp if the next one is comparable 2 ivec! Heheh...my parents were commenting tt I'm so much more guai than Ivec!! So they had an easier time though i was often sick!
Oh..btw, the Jap restaurant name is sakura..I tried their buffet & its rather worthwhile if u r those who like buffet!!

May
Gd luck to ur new job! Do keep us update on ur new job!
So how's bb Austin coming along? U must be careful when he knows how to flip & when he really know how to move..eheheh..then its a headache trying to keep him still..Ivec always throws a tantrum when we try to keep him still..he's such a restless bb.

 

[etelle]

shylyn
the cake looks delicious. hee so special with his name all over the cuppy cakes...thanks thanks haha i will try to handle on my own hee my son is quite easy to take care so should be okie....but getting more and more active and walking around the house all the time hee but very adorable...hee

sakura
hubby loves jap food but me not a fan of it . is the food taste as good as sakae?

 

[bin_may]

Etelle
WOH WOH WOH!!! Congrats in ur 2nd ttc...Finally ethan has another siblings be it boy or gal...Gong Xi Gong Xi, by the way, when's the edd...Been so busy recently, oso no time to msn u...free msn talk to u within tis wk as I left the last wk in this office, I won't be using msn for the time being at the new office.

Jenie
Ya lor, I know, infact I treasure alot of the times I have now with him b4 he knows how to crawl or walk...hehe...

Shylyn
Ya lor, since past few days, we have been keeping a close look on him, scare he may turn himself over while we din notice it....

 

[etelle]

May
haha thanks thanks hee ethan is 14 mths le so i thought it would be a good time to have a 2nd one. Haha last time i have this thinking to give birth to the no. of children i want by the time i run 30. And this year i am 30 le so i am still in time hee with the living standards in singapore maybe 2 is a just nice number. hee yeah MSN me okie.

I also feel cherishing every moment spent with your little one loved one is very important. Nothing beats that...

 

[brendali]

Etelle,
paiseh... din take note of the restaurant's name but it's not Sakura. It's on the 4th floor. They just open for a month so food quality still good n fresh. betta go before they start to cut cost..hahah

<font size="+1">CONGRATULATION!!</font>

May,
Are you gonna start weaning at 4 or 6 mths?

Jenie,
lucky u cos the queue was really long and i was there at 10.30. They run out of baskets too so an auntie gave me a box n i start lugging it with me. But okay lah... cos spend 50 bucks to buy shower gels, shampoo, dishwasher detergent to last for the rest of the year..hahahha

but spent $30 on ice cream... super heartpain

shylyn,
Hi hi hi!! nice decor on the wall..

can help me? cos i actually found Lightning McQueen's baking mould for Jem's bdae (his idol). The way of baking is same as ivec's cake. CAn pass me the contact of ur baker so that i can ask her whether she can help me bake it (if i really cannot make it)

no worries lah... most kids hv cranky look for 1 yr old bdae cos teething mah. And hor, try not to tell ur child abt the bdae till the day itself. pantang ... hahahha

No lah! i'm talking abt Sakura, that one $20 for lunch, $24 for dinner leh (+$2 for weekn). btw, nice anot? i heard got quite a fair bit of dim sum issit?

 

[jenie_1979]

Shylyn,
Happy belated birthday to ivec! The cake looks very nice. Can i have the contact too?
Etelle,
So when ur edd? Have you thought of who to look after ethan when u in confinement?
Brenda
I tried that jap restaurant before. I also forgot its name but it also under sakura group. Do try the buffet at sakura. There are many varities and the price is considered cheap as compared to hotel buffet. I can see some of the items very cheap. Too bad my hubby turn bad face when he see the long queue so i have to go off.

 

[etelle]

jenie
my edd is 2 december. huh my mother be helping me with confinement le think she will also manage ethan and i assist her lor and my hubby is self employed so he can arrange his timin maybe that mth to help out as well...never think so far le...when u trying for no. 2?

brenda
