hi there, i’m helping a close friend to re-locate to sg and was considering pat’s schoolhouse cos it’s nearest to her new place. last sat had lunch with some girlfriends and heard of some not too pleasant comments about the school…


was wondering if any one has some positive experience to share? i hate to recommend something that sucks…help?

i thought i saw this on one of the forum....i am keen to go to hua hin for a short break...any tips recommendations on a resort area...not too many kids pls...need some peace and meme time...


how abt this? http://www.anantara.com/ any feedbacks to share?

just bought a garmin! since the hols are coming…wondering if anyone can share how to use or download maps for free?

i only started this birthday party stuff for the kid after 7yrs old...cos i think too young they dun have frds to celebrate so what for party....$$


another interesting idea is to have a skate birthday party ...ice or rollerblade. i just saw that kallang leisure park has that but i forgot to ask. i did check out the rollerblading one with this children skate school http://www.skate-with-us.com and the cost is about $10 per pax depending on your package...they also give face painting classes as part of it...u can top up for different themes..think they have costumes too!

i wish i'm a kid sometimes. our generation where got like this....sighz...

i do prefer leica lenses…there’s nothing like it…and optical zoom is impt as digital zoom makes images blur

my fave dessert...anyone have secret recipe to share? tried making once and it's so erm not muah chee like...don't know what went wrong! help mummies... :?

my niece has quite bad ecezma…this lotion is it hypo-allergenic or something? n what’s the pimple? freckles ah?

i know! i feel angry too! it’s like HOW MUCH PROFIT u want to make man! at the risk of children! it’s disgusting…as parents, since almost EVERYTHING is MADE IN CHINA@-@ it’s so hard to suss out…the good and the bad…i dun even trust the word "non - toxic" anymore…sighz

our school send us PE teachers to a sports workshop done by sports council b4 where SSC shared with us information on sports and pointed some sports suited for toddlers and rollerblading, swimming were some. i guess it makes sense cos it;s a sport that's easy to pick up and really does improve coordination and motor skills, not to mentioned confidence.


i think the walking on grass part, u need to clarify with whoever is the instructor as when we conducted the class here in school they did make some P3 kids walk on grass with skates on..so it's really not an age thing. just make sure u choose the correct school for your children with SMALL Class sizes no more than 6!

i personally don't like those \"skate all u can classes\" as u cannot control the size of the class cos it's \"more worth it\" psycholoically but class size will go up to 10 or 15....which is not quality learning for preschoolers...i think paying a bit more for small class ratio is VERY IMPORTANT.
parents can use trials are good to suss out their interest in those sports...like me we tried out yoga with the children and my kiddos were quite restless...hahaha

actually my friends in vancouver sent their children for ice hockey at age 5! their children learnt to skate at age 3. but i guess in sg we tend to be more conservative. whichever sports or activity u choose i hope parents will start the kids young as keeping the kids active will be good for their growth. as a teacher i/c of fitness club (which is the former TAF club) i see kids who join us to be simply disinterested in sports because it they are not used to the such activity. it really boils down to habit at home. so other than sending children to academic classes...do send children to try out stuff like ballet, yoga or swimming etc..it's worth the investment in the long run.

hello all…


thought i share this with u…

my sis and her family were on hols and got back last week. her 2 yr old girl has fever on their flight back and they were quarantined at the airport for 1 hr or so…then they went to a doctor immediately and at the clinic, the doc called an ambulance n they were referred to tan tock seng hosp …where the child was observed and then recommended to go KK…turns out it’s just a "normal" fever …the whole family just came back from melbourne, tired exhausted and drama lasted till 3am…she had to extend her leave…

so do pay attention to any possible fever cos DEFINITELY will be quarantined!
