Going to school

Nigel went for his Julia Gabriel Bilingual Playclub yesterday. It's really his first real "class". In the past I've only brot him for 2 different trial classes which didn't really work for him. Now that he is two and almost time for him to attend childcare, I felt that he should at least be in some classes to get accustomed.

Well, he didn't really wan to participate. He just wan to sit on me and observe. The singings were loud (as always) hence he cried a bit. During the playtime he saw his dad and cried at him pitifully. So poor thing!

But at least he still managed a smile when I tried to take a picture of him when he was playing...


Btw, Valerie also started her Readers & Writers at Julia Gabriel on the same day. She enjoyed herself pretty much (such a diff btwn both of them). Hope she can really learn to read & write!!

Who can afford $2k/psf?

I was amazed at an article published on Weekend Today on pg 24 "A new trend?". The article talked about people going for smaller development that has more privacy etc. It mentioned that such dvpt normally costs more and "homeowners tend to be working couples or singles who earn between $5,000 to $6,000 a month".

I read on further and the article mentioned about the new dvpt called Holland Collection which is selling at an average $2000 psf. Mu jaws almost dropped!

For a regular size unit like 1,200sf apt you r looking at a price tag of $2m! You mean a $10k a mth household that reasonably service $2m apt???

This is insane.

Say a little prayer

I've got to know that a friend of mine that her unborn child has died in the womb.

Knowing that she & her hubby has tried so hard to conceive and when she finally did, such an unfortunate event is to happen.

No one deserves this at all. And being a mother of two it struck me so hard and that I'm so fortunate to have 2 lovely & healthy children.

I'm not a church goer but I would hope that everyone will say a little prayer and wish my friend strength to move thru this difficult time.

Addicted to iPhone?

I've downloaded a few games for Valerie on my iPhone. Games like sneezie, abc etc. But I thot she is getting addicted to them so I refused to let her play and boy she cried quite badly!

Maybe others will think I'm over-reacting. At least my mil probably think so coz she asked me to let her play.

Is she getting addicted or am I over-reacting?

Feeling down

I realised that lately Nigel is mo longer close to me. He is now closer to my mother-in-law. He will only want her to pat him to him even if it's in e middle of e night. He simply refused to even let me carry him to pacify him!

I'm feeling so down at times thinking about this. She helps pat him to sleep so that we can spend some time with Valerie before she sleeps.

I dunno. My 2 kids r not close to me. Am I a lousy mom?

Casino FEVER! (almost :p)

It was announced recently that Resort World Sentosa is now open to public. The casino & Universal Studios are not in operations yet but we thought since we have nothing to do, we'll just make a trip there to check things out.

The hotels are open and business looks good! Hard Rock's pool was very crowded and news was that the hotels are running very high occupancy. But as most of the shops are not opened we didn't stay long. We headed back to HarbourFront for lunch before heading home.

We hope to be back again when the entire "town" is up & running!

Valerie starts new school!

4th Jan is really something special... a milestone in fact. Valerie starts K1 in a different school today. We decided to change the school as we felt the childcare she was attending is not strong in academics and knowing Singapore's system, a good foundation is essential otherwise Primary school will be very tough.

She'll be attending the afternoon session, from 12n - 3pm and she'll have to take a school bus now. HX is Primary One this year and this is a whole new experience for her as well!
