      Hi markfch,

      I had a patch of baldness late last year...stress lah. When hair started to grow again...whew πŸ˜‰ ...I was relieved, but they were WHITE !!! I dyed just that part but not the roots just to be on safe side. My son said I am a rock star bcos the brown dye faded and now became gold. HaHaHa.

      I read somewhere .... as usual
      If the balding is from the centre it is due to stress.
      If it is from the side and front and move towards the centre .. it is genetic.

      Do exercise, it helps to regulate your body and reduce the stress, at night also can sleep a lot better.

      That baldness is at the back. Small patch.
      I walk son to school and walk back briskly. Short one but sweating out is good. But my insomnia has stuck on for few years. Hard to sleep at night but sleep through after that. Long story.

        Ok, to satisfy the curiosity of some PH parents, ds's greenish piano is displayed below. His name was engraved somewhere in the 3rd pic but it's blurred due to camera angle (on purpose, hehe).


        Selective parts of the piano is covered with green precious wood (just below SAUTER in first 2 pics, LHS in 3rd pic and top in 4th pic), but it doesn't mean that the whole piano is green. That'll be too much to take.

            Ivory is already banned in piano making. Nowadays the better pianos use a synthetical substitute called ivorites. The black keys remain as ebony though.

            So I have the dubious honour of waking you up from your KSP hiatus? :lol:

              I am just thinking if this 'amazing' person picked up the art of pissing people off due to his job or is this his character ? In any case, it looks like he is comfortably sitting in his chair for many more years to come, unless MOE transfers him.

              Recently my son's class brought Lilies to school coz they were learning Reproduction of Plants. His teacher, saw a stalk of Lily with boy XXX, commented:\"Hey, XXX, why do you bring flower to school today? For your girlfriend hah?\" :shock:

              Another instance - A 'not-in-her-bad-book' boy kept forgetting to bring an assignment. She compared him to XXX and said:\"AAA, I thought you are a good student. Now why do you want to be like XXX, nowadays always forget to bring your work?\" :shock: :shock:

              I wonder which type of teacher is worse - those who think too highly of themselves, or those who pass unnecessary, scarcastic remarks which do nothing but bruised a young child's morale .. I am truly surprised ..

                  [quote=\"lizhi] Mmmmm, i agreed also. My former colleague, his wife was doing many many Advanced Mathematics problems while pregnant. More than ten years after, my former colleague's daughter was selected to RGS as one of Sec3 selection plan from China.[/quote]

                    Hey my son's teacher is not far off in terms of being mean.
                    Got him to ask her what will be tested for SA1 Science...didn't get email reply. Desperate to know bcos it's already APRIL.
                    That teacher told him the topics which will be tested AND MADE HIM REPEAT in front of whole class. My heart really went out to my son bcos she was so mean. That's how I feel :x Why must she do that ? What's wrong with her anyway ? :x In my heart, all I can think of is, DAMN :x Come on, what the hell is wrong with her ?

                      Oh dear, that's so mean n degrading for the child. It's unfortunate, but the truth is that there are teachers that do not have the necessary soft skills to cope with the unique demands of handling children 😞 some r there for the money, so with passion, the teaching profession is just like any other, just like meeting terrible service fr pple in the customer service. there's no filter to sieve them out, n the incentives to do better do not matter to them.


                      I hope your child's not too badly affected, being penalised when he's trying to do better must b v discouraging for him. This auntie feels so bad for him

                        I usually wake up 3-4 times each night .... Stress at work.
                        But on days where I go and exercise, I tend to sleep much better.
                        I suggest you find time to exercise 15-20min 3 times a week.
                        It will help with your sleeping pattern .. whatever the reason is.
