TOA PAYOH mummies

Pooh
I am giving myself some more time to try to be a SAHM till end of the year. If it really doesn't work out, I plan to go back to work next year. I have visited the preschool in Toa Payoh. They told me the places are all filled up but they are opening a new wing next year. They have also told me that another outlet will be opened in June at Bishan. So I will just see how things get going. Play by ear....

Any comments on the preschool?

Babe
The bookfair at Suntec ends this Sunday. It's held at hall 401 to 403. Publishers on children books, assessment books, right brain training materials, school (Eduplus and Mindchamp), and other non-related areas like fengshui, bed cleaning services are there too. Good place to browse around for kids' stuff and you can plonk your kids for some craft work... There are talks every hour. Noticed that Tweedle wink gives talks on training your kids on right brain and how to teach your kid on photographic memory and speed reading. But the talks by Tweedle wink seem to end tomorrow cos I din see any by them for this coming weekend.

re: shi wan ge wei shen me, i bought a 2nd hand vcd set at $25 from a mum at smh. if u dun mind, perhaps can look for a 2nd hand dvd or vcd set here. i heard that 1 shop at bras basah also selling quite cheap for new ones, dvd set but i'm not sure whc shop, sorry.

re: contact list, i set up a list of the contacts/ details of the mummies here at google group but been quite some time since i used that that i forgotten how to go about inviting and including newcomers into the group. :p let me try to play around with it.

are,
welcome to the group. i'm a sahm with a 26mo gal. i used to stay at pasir ris b4 i got married then moved here when i got married 5.5yrs ago. my hb on the other hand grow up in TPY.
 
Are, you can get some of my daughter's clothes. She's 6.

By the way, someone here looking for 3D birthday cakes for children right? The thread is progressing so quickly that I loose track. Anyway, yup, Blue Magnolia does pretty good ones. Don't have many designs to choose from but they really do a good job and don't have to order huge 2kg cakes. If I don't remember wrongly the 3D cakes start at 500g. They're located at Macpherson Rd (which is not too far from TPY).
 
I think the Bras Basah shop that sells brand new DVDs/VCDs is the one near escalator ground floor. Use to go there quite a fair bit to source for DVDs, and yes, they are cheaper compared to other shops.
 
are,
u bght some mouthwash from me, remember??

eunice, din know they are opening new wing next yr..so far so gd.my no2 njoy herself in the sch

btw eunice, any thomas sale during the show?? promised my son to get him Salty during our house moving..hehehe..

JTS:
i bought Thomas series underpants for my son. he was so happy with his fave char 'gordon' was inside. he wore it immediately after shower but keep asking,'mummy u wanna c my gordon underpants?' then he pull down his shorts all the time to reveal his gordon which is on his private part.. lol
the next morning, he says 'mummy i wanna keep gordon underpants in my school bag.'
i suppose it's his way of showing how proud he is of his gordon underpants.. and he wanna show it off in ccc during shower.. hahaha

Gal.Dolphin
I think Popular is selling $65 for the DVDs.
Suntec bookfair is selling too, but I did not ask the pricing.
There are simply too many interesting stuff for the kids at the fair.

Char
Hee hee, good to have VCD version, cheaper then.

Mummies

Think you were looking for cupcakes for your boys' birthday celebration. saw at the Kidzacademy exhibition by OniCupcakes. Their website is www.onicupcakes.com. Maybe you could check it out.

Elijah's Mummy
Do you have the contact number fo the huggies supplier? My fren is looking for cheaper sources.

Precious
The only Montessori I knew is Liz Montessori at bloack 85 along the same stretch as Jessin. Putting my son there. Thanks for recommending Brightstart Montessori. Went to check it out. There is no vacancy currently.

Miin
Yes, there is a Thomas and train sales there. Think by the time I post this, you are already there....

Re; shi wan ge wei she me, the kidzacademy is selling it at S$59. Went back to check at the world book fair. They are still selling it at S$62 but it comes now with 2 free storybooks and 2 books to practise writing.
 
Pooh
Great that your kid loves Mindchamps. Yesterday at the Kidzacademy, another mindchamps rep told me they are not opening another new wing and mention that the staff has got it wrong. Aiyo,..

Babe
I am still looking around. Friends told me that MMI at Thomson is not too bad. Haven't gone down to check it out..but I thought better to put at Toa Payoh as it's more convenient if I were to go back to work....
 
dolphin gal, of course nv subscribe lah! Bluff her say i subscribing mother & baby now till end of year, dun want to subscribe another magz time being. hahah...but of course had to pretend to be interested to get the magz lah.

My hb actually was agst getting the daytripper, coz we got a perego liao, but it was heavy, and we seldom utilise except during special occassion. So he was quite okay for me to get the daytripper, since is below $100 nia. Phew...

Miin, how old is your son?

Eunice, so you putting ur kid this year in liz montessori and next yr to cc? How do you find Liz? Saw that the place is quite small. Do they allow visit or trial class?

Precious, do you buy alot from pelangi? Any good stuff to recommend?

Today brought my kid downstairs to playground at blk 79 and saw quite a few mommies. Looks like quite a lot of young couples around...
 
Babe
Yes, I am putting my son in Liz Montessori this year. If I am still going strong as a SAHM, then my son will just attend Ascension Kindergarten next year. Otherwise if I start work, I will put him in CCC lor.

You are right, the place is quite small but I heard that the teacher Liz and her assistant are gentle. They don't scream at the students or pass sarcastic remarks which I observe at some CCC. A friend's daughter enjoyed the classes tremendeously. Teacher Liz told me that she has got a chinese teacher recently which is good. If not, I will have headache and have to source for another school for my son to just attend chinese lessons.

You can call Liz to visit but no trial.

Used to go to blk 79 playground... alot of mummies gather together at certain timing but it seems that the group sort of disperse as the playground gets very hot in the late morning during the first half of the year. Nice playground except that it's too near the road. A few times whilst playing there, the ball rolled to the road and my son ran after me to chase after the ball. One time he ran to the road, heartattack for me. Quickly grab him back. Thank god no moving vehicle on the road at the time.
 
Mommies

If you are keen for your kid to try golf, you can get a free voucher from Kindergolf at the Kidzacademy.

At level square of Raffles City Shopping Centre, there is a play area comprising fisher and price toys, as well as a bouncer. I think the kids will love it.
 
jasmine!!!! i wan i wan!!pls pls PM me the contact manz!!! thank u so much!!hehe..u r always so sweet... help me get those things i wan. =)=)

tks miin for explaining.but its meant for tod is it?bb can drink?hehe..so u gg to ikea?hehe.if u do,just help me get the puppets can?tks!if nt doesnt matter,any idea when this will end?thanks ya!

Hi Eunice Mummy,

I am new to this thread.

I read that you are sending your kid to Ascension. Any comment / feedback about this Kindergarten? I am also considering to send my chid there next year. Quite accessible from TP.
