pawprint, even tho neighbourhood stores selling electrical appliances alot more cheaply, they dont do extended warranty. IMO its not worth it to take the risk, esp since yours is a dryer-cum-washer, so many functions, lagi likely to breakdown (according to my own could-be-flawed theory lol!). Even my 1.2K whirlpool washer (the sales person was saying how great it is, no problems blah blah- yeah right,) gives me problem in less than 2 years, and the first repair required already costs more than the extended warranty I paid for. So if you dont want to stress over your next purchase, its a good idea to pay a wee bit more for peace of mind. |

Bought LG washer-dryer, $999 Best Denki promo, then added on extended warranty. Different stores varied in price promo, something wrong with their sales info lor.
Wld have preferred Thomson, smaller capacity but sooo slim! Wld have given me more leeway to squeeze and clean behind the machine! But agent OOS... and big difference in price, nearly $1.7K.  |

tiger children bottle recommendation?
I am looking at the MMM or MMD model for my boys.
http://www.usa.tiger-corporation.com/commodity/stainless_steel/lineup.html#mmm3
also is there any difference between made in japan and made in china?
those I bought in SG from takashimaya were made in japan. those I bought last yr here were made in china.
for the same model, the made in japan is more costly than the made in china. the asian shops here sell both the made in japan and made in china. its for my boys so if bo bian just have to pay more. |

Rochelle, I was checking out these recommended washer-cum-dryer:
- LG WD 14331D 8kg/ 4kg (wash/ dry load) $999 at Best Denki, additional ~$150? for extended to 5yr warranty. Parkway Best Denki insists it's a DISPLAY model, otherwise it's $1099... but I got my non-display model from Century Best Denki.
- Turbo INCANTO TWD6610 6kg/ 3kg ~$1263 fr http://www.happiness.com.sg/main/product/ProductDetails.asp?ProductId=TWD6610# (no extended warranty???)
- TURBO INCANTO TWD6812 8kg/ 5kg ~$1600
- Thomson TX898 6kg/ 3kg ~$1648 fr Courts with 5yr warranty
I was told small shops that offer better pricing *sometimes* offer option of extended warranty... but the price of that warranty costs more than Courts or Denki. I was also told that Denki has best pricing for the warranty all-in lah.
The Thomson really the SMALLEST footprint but it's TOPLOAD compared to the other frontloads. H/e the topload is still horizontal axis drum, similar to front load spin.
The LG some gd reviews (can google LG washer dryer review). |

US brands,
maybe its because I am so near a factory outlet mall and 1hr drive away from another factory outlet mall. somemore summer weather so hot have to hide in the shopping malls.
my boys clothes are usually on the <= $3 racks and my clothes are usually on the 80-90% off racks.
I still find it funny that people (including my BIL) are willing to pay so much for US brands. especially when some sprees exchange rate is so much higher than the bank exchange rate.
think the only US brands I still like is Clarks and Coach.
Timberlannd, Nautica, Tommy Hilfiger, Lacoste, Burberry, TUM, Levis already see until bored. |

Rochelle,
Ahgirl *just* got some sightwords and can figure the easier words phonetically. But no progress lately lah, not enough time in the day, hahaha. Ath din get it for the longest time, til I actually went and bought an assessmt book! Her memory not very gd for such stuff lah, normal read-from-book, read THE END zillion times still din recognise THE. I mean she will recognise the STORYLINE but not link to each word. Until flashcard "THE". LOL! No idea what kinda "pattern" Ahboy will be, when his time comes- now still only reinforcing alphabet recognition and single sounds.
HB not around some evenings... hah. Oh well, at least I can go lunch with him later with 1 of the kids. |

pawprint,
hubby will be out of town next week, silly thing is boys behave better when he is out of town.
WW also can figure how to pronounce the words phonetically for easy words. but he recognise words like "stop" "car" "train" "thomas" "truck" from memory
I spend 1hr a day reading with my boys. sometimes is 1hr stretch, sometimes is 2 x 30mins. if hubby good mood he will read storybooks to them for 30mins.
I use storybooks that have 1-2 sentence per page. than WW can pick up more sight words. if > 2 sentence per page, he rather tell the story himself than let me read. |

both kiddos shower together- easier, they sit down on plastic chairs next to each other and try to soap themselves. Think it's fine at 4yr/ 2yr... I don't have cut-off age... will determine when it shld stop, when i start feeling it inappropriate. |

CSR
i read that CLOVER honey is safe for children as they are milder BUT manuka is a good choice but i afraid it will be too heaty for quinn. he loves his honey stick for sure and i only get him the original one, clover, without added flavour. i am taking REALLY RAW HONEY and loving it so i wonder if he can take it too.....hmm..... |

Quinn will write certain words *not all* eg. like letter "S" and "n" and afew more. he loves to do WORDS dictation, like he will draw something, for example an ear then i will spell it for him to write. he can get them right and sometimes he remember how they spell also BUT he tends to write reverse for certain words, i try to correct him but i guess hes still into this writing reverse....... could it be dyslexia???!!!???!!! |

hope its not dyslexia.... actually i am sure that most toddlers did that, maybe i am just being a little too paranoid. i also think it could be growing pain.... as theres no redness or swelling and also he allows me to massage or touch his leg when theres a pain. and also it starts late evening and usually complain and cry in the night. and the next day, he seems okie, without complains and also dont seems to remember about what happen the previous night... |

mummies, just to share something that happened last evening and hope mummies must be very careful about it. we, hubby, me and quinn went to supermarket last evening, at kovan. then out of a sudden, hubby YELLED at a man. i ask him what happen but he was too furious to tell me but i know it has something to do with that man and his hp!!! then hubby ask me to wait for him with quinn in the supermarket. then after awhile hubby called me, tells me that that man is a PERVERT! he use his hp and take pictures of woman in the supermarket and while i was walking infront with hubby and quinn further from me, he saw him talking pictures of me secretly!!!! YUCKS! so hubby so angry and stop him and reported to police and while waiting for the policemen to arrive, he beg hubby to let him go. hubby wants him to erase those pictures and he did then hubby let him off BUT hubby use his hp and take down him saying sorry and what so ever in video mode. hubby describe to the police wbout him and so if policemen caught him after that, then thats too bad!
mummies, please be very careful!! |

IRON IRON IRON
Anyone rec me an iron $100-$200? Not garment steamer cos I read it's hot and steamy (hahaha) and tiring with arms going up-down and not suited to work shirts.

pawprint,
haha thanks.
Scooba mainly washes the floor with minimum vacuum, so unless the floor is very clean otherwise the small dustbin will be full soon and affect the washing function.

hi pawprint,
i just measured my roomba, height is ard 3", did u mention about 6"?
i hvn't confirmed on arrangement, irobot has 10% + free domestic shipping for thanks giving day. but now they only allow US issued CC. so i need help, the mummy hasn't replied yet.
it's good if your hb can carry back, read that getting at HSN is much cheaper, just buy at the store and bring bk and you can save quite a bit. |

Yuru,
3"? *MUAK!* It'd run under my cabinets nicely, yay!
I read Scooba is 6" ht, u gonna use in bedrooms? Won't it spray the base of your built-in wardrobes?
Are u getting Scooba 380 only or some replacement accessories for wear and tear? Replacement batteries? Using Clorox or vinegar or plain water or?
Eh share what areas your Roomba covers, u use for kitchen and yard too? What areas you group together, and how often, and when?
HB fine with the Roomba but not the Scooba, need to apply pressure...
Actually I'd rather just one gadget, I can't even think of a nice hidden docking station (for the Scooba especially). |

BTW which Roomba model u have, for how long, any issues?
And why choose Scooba 380 instead of basic Scoobas.
They have so many models my head is spinning... their heights all seem different from different sources, yikes. |

Hi, my child does not seem to like to go to school. She's now in K1. She keeps crying whenever she reaches school and sometimes even all the way to school. I have tried to ask her many times the reason why she does not want to go but always do not get a proper answer from her. |

A Child's Ten Commandments to Parents
Author: Unknown
* My hands are small; please don't expect perfection whenever I make a bed, draw a picture or throw a ball.
* My legs are short; please slow down so that I can keep up with you.
* My eyes have not seen the world as yours have; please let me explore safely. Don't restrict me unnecessarily.
* Housework will always be there. I'm only little for a short time, please take time to explain things to me about this wonderful world and do so willingly.
*My feelings are tender; please be sensitive to my needs. Don't nag me all day long. Treat me as you would like to be treated.
* I am a special gift from God; please treasure me as God intended you to do, holding me accountable for my actions, giving me guidelines to live by and disciplining me in a
loving manner.
*I need your encouragement to grow. Please go easy on the criticism; remember, you can criticize the things I do without criticizing me.
*Please give me the freedom to make decisions concerning myself. Permit me to fail, so that I can learn from my mistakes.
* Then someday I'll be prepared to make the kinds of
decisions that life requires of me.
*Please don't do things over for me. Somehow that makes me feel that my efforts didn't quite measure up to your expectations.
*Please don't be afraid to leave for a weekend together. Kids need vacations from parents, just as parents need vacations from kids. Besides, it's a great way to show us kids
that your marriage is very special.
*Please take me to church regularly, setting a good example for me to follow. I enjoy learning more about God.
UMMM..... the last one very IMO though...heee........ |

Gabby,
hmm if u have the space and the noise tolerance, why not? Mine learning piano and it's maybe half the space compared to a full drum set, so if space not an issue. In terms of noise, both piano and drum practice sounds equally bad in the beginning, I guess?!
Drum lessons are pretty expensive though. My 5yo's ex-piano teacher's 5yo boy is learning drums and seems to be happy . |

Violin
Because you can carry a violin anywhere in the world on a plane
a beginner violin is very cheap. you can buy a better one when your son is really interested
Drum set takes up more space too. |

someone posted this lovely anonymous poem and I thought I should share
"A child is like a butterfly in the wind.
Some can fly higher than others;
But each one flies the best it can.
Why compare one against the other?
Each one is different.
Each one is special.
Each one is beautiful." |
