hello everybody,
long time no see. how's everyone? have been scrolling through the last 3 archives, realised some mummies are missing in action.
Cheezel,
how are you loosing weight? I got back my original weight by the time I stop BF but the tummy is perpetually there and nothing I wear seems to fit. so really inferior now.
Janet,
can show us your Young Parent photo? I've lost touch with magazines and even newspaper cos HB not around for 6 mths and I had to look after 2 monkeys.
I see some new names like littlefriend and Angela. Hi hi, welcome.
re: gathering
wish I can join you gals but taking leave the next day to go KKH to see 2 specialists with Cookie (skin and nose).
after that will rush back to see Cabbage. I haven't seen her for 2 days already, miss her so much.

SD and mummies,
lunch venue is fine with me. i shd b brging cher but hopefully she 'guai guai' sit tru d lunch n i can enjoy my lunch n catching up w d mummies. but if hb can take half day leave (for me to take a break), then i wont brg her. oh, but can i cfm my attendance agn nearer d date, cos w 2 kiddos, somtx last minute i just hv to back out (i hope not) due to whatever reasons..
SD,
we cld not get a slot w C... fr kaliedoscope too but we kept 'pestering' her till she finally gave us a slot. but as i was not working, my timing was also more flexible. keep us posted but don;t worry too much okie
Jeanyard,
undstd u must b busy n tired. i find myself forever busy w d 2 kids... u take care ah. hvnt seen u for a long while. i really missed my relaxing yoga time b4 cher came along

A little update since i hardly post these days:
Is a joy to see the siblings growing up together. they play very well together n can laugh so heartily evyday but somtx go wild. but they fight too. what keep me going is (though i m somtx so tired n badly nid a break) that i tell myself, they grow up so fast! i must treasure these time n moments i share so closely with them. i value this closeness n bond.

It's really been some time since we hear from you.. Busy with work? How's Ryan boy speech development now since you mentioned that PD feels he's a little slow last time...guess he can say quite a number of words already?
Cheezel
Music & dance class...something like Kindermusik?
Sanrio
So happy that you will try your best to join the lunch.. let us know again if any changes.
I think Cher is really enjoying her Kidz Loft classes ya? Seems quite fun really... only that the venue is kinda out of place for us, otherwise I may put Jonas in for the classes too.
Looks like Ash is not only a chatty boy but also a creative little artist ya.

<font color="0077aa">Hello!
I had macdonalds breakfast, and now still not hungry enuf for lunch. hehe.
Cheezel
So cute lah your Javen. Hehe all kids love dancing I guess. You know Hi-5, the last part, the kids & presenters hug each other? Adam will turn to me or my mom to hug us. hehe.
CD
Wah, Jboy's imagination is quite good huh! haha!
There's a piano in my SIL's place and adam loves playing on it, making so much noise!! Gah.. But I think I will encourage him to learn the piano. My hubby can play too, until Grade 7 or something, but he stopped coz he was reminded of his late dad each time he played the piano.

Mummies,
Wonder whether you still bring home-cooked food out to feed your kids.? I still do, but i usually bring the carbo only, and the meat or veg would be from outside.
I had a terrible experience at the Toa Payoh KFC recently. The carbo I brought was just plain pasta. And I fed B with the KFC chicken. Then this vietaim Manager came to me and told me no outside food because they are a halal restaurant. I told her that there is no pork in my plain pasta and we were eating with KFC chicken. She was still standing there persistenly for 5-10 mins telling me no outside food. So embarrasing with every one looking at me. She left only until my hubby came back to his seat to defend me...never go to that outlet again. Other outlets also no such problems...

Re: Lunch meetup next wk
I'm OK with buffet or ala carte... fine with any venue too as long as it is centralised and public transport accessible.
Have to take the afternoon off though coz my company strictly one hour lunch only niah..
Janet
I think most restaurants should not mind parents bringing own food to feed the young child as long as the adults are eating at the restaurant...but if eating at halal restaurant, then make sure dun bring in pork stuff out of due respect for other religion.
As for KFC, it's a FAST-FOOD outlet..not a Restaurant and no service charge...so maybe some restaurant managers are more particular about customers bringing in outside foods ba!

cheezel,
sure, rice table is not compulsory...we can definitely a restaurant and eat at suntec.
I also never have issues at zoo kfc. It is only the toa payoh outlet. And you know, there was one time when at zoo kfc, I saw a parents (2 adults) eating outside food in kfc. the child was only eating pop corn chicken. and kfc also never said anything.

I think they're more particular coz they are a halal-certified eatery.
I can empathise with your difficulties since more and more eateries are halal-certified. Since Adam can eat outside food, I've never brought food out for him, except crackers etc. Maybe if I did, it wouldn't matter much to restaurants coz my food would be halal too, unless they are worried it'll cause them a loss of business.
I think the concept is similar for vegetarians. Some strict vegans can't even use spoons which were used to scoop meat dishes. Similarly, utensils used by halal-certified eaters must also not come into contact with non-halal items. But then I think if it's a genuine mistake / oversight it's OK lah

Hmm...how about lunch at Pearl River Palace?
It's at Suntec, serves ala carte buffet (so no need to walk around and we can sit for a few hours to eat & chat) and has got rice for little Cher.
Sanrio
Well, I guess it's the location (kidz loft) itself that's inconvenient for us to travel weekly even if weekends classes are available coz we dun drive.

SD,
i'm ok with the place. they have dimsum right? been there some years back once with a friend from Mauritius. aft that have not gone back liao.
so what time do we meet?
sanrio,
giving you the link here for MYC
http://www.myc.com/
there is one centre at Jurong East which is the one we go to. surprisingly quite popular cos I waited for a long time before I could get Josh into the class.
For Ash, probably he would get to start on the keyboard already because he's much older.
janet,
that KFC manager is such a pain lah. KFC is fast food restaurant lor. it doesn't really affect anything cos it's not that you use their cutlery or what lah....
probably they just didn't want pple to bring that into the premises.

Are you alrite with the lunch venue?
Cheezel / Janet / Nellu / Cool D
Pearl River Palace is located at Suntec Convention, Level 3
http://www.suntecsingapore.com/restaurant/prp.htm
What time are you girls OK to meet? For me, I can only knock off around 1pm for half day leave, so will only reach 1.30pm thereabouts.
But, if any of you can reach earlier, we can reserve the table for an earlier timing and whoever reaches first can start ordering & eat!
Let me know ok?

Serene, Cheezel,
Brought YX to the school dental. Okie la. The dentist very friendly. It's approx $9. Ours include professional advice so another $9 with a free cheapo toothbrush lor... but hor forget about it la. I was surprised when the dentist asked YX not to drink milk and teach the "wrong" method of brushing even.. not those professional way of brush from left to right in top down / bottom up direction.. blah blah blah.. Overall review is it's still good and cheap. Thank goodness no cavity. Go check out YX's blog. Posted some pix there.

That's the one I brought adam too - the kidsdentist. So hard to get a slot coz the dentist lectures in NUS too. But he's good lah (looking at the charges, he better be good, haha!).
Don't worry, I don't think Javen will scream. He's quite brave rite? They even get to pick a show they'd like to watch (eg, Thomas etc) which is fixed right on top of the ceiling so the kids can see it while dentist is doing the examining. They get a tiny cheap toy at the end of it. Plenty of toys, books to play with at waiting area.
But the place is quite ulu lah. that's the thing I don't like esp if I have to go on my own</font>

No discoloration la. Its just a normal dental check. Dun wan to wait till there’s a need to go for dental then go le….my colleague’s son complain of jaw pain few weeks back and when she brought him to a dentist, then know he has a decayed tooth which is so deep that he has to brush his teeth after every meal, morn n night. If there is food stuck at the teeth, oit cause pain. Normally they dun remove tooth for children and will wait for it to drop off…..
