Childcare

Mummy has been actively looking around for a childcare to palce me in for next year January 2010 intake.
This is so that I will be used to going to cc if mummy does get pregnant again.
My grandmum aka nenek will not be able to take care of both me and another baby alone at the same time.
Hence, mummy had to come up with this plan even though it breaks her heart to let me go.

Mummy went for cc shopping the other day and the following is her account of the day..

"first stop, little skoolhouse at occ.
have actually paid registration fees here for the jan 2010 playgroup but was still undecided.
saw the kids at the indoor playground with 2 teachers from china and another very young chinese teacher who looks like she just got out of school.
ok the teachers let the kids play independantly and when they see kids arguing..not taking turns and stuffs, they will intervene and get the kid to take time out at the sides.

second stop, eager beaver.
heard so many gd reviews abt this place so was looking forward to view it.
alas, it falls way way below my expectations.
its a non aircon centre which is supposed to be good but the ceiling is so high up thet no wind can even be felt.
the place felt stuffy and looked filthy.
even my hubby commented afterwards that his feet felt that the flooring was sticky sticky..so icky!
when i came it was water play time for the toddlers.
the teacher placed water in an inflatable pool..then she on the water hose and sprayed at the kids with the kids stripped down to their shorts.
meanwhile the nursery kids were right in front of them having a bath.
its a case of i see u and u see me.
wasnt comfortable for me.
most of the staff there are chinese aunty2..1 teacher even said "chilren"...gosh!

third stop, back to little skoolhouse.
playgroup's kids just finished their lessons and going back.
cc kids having their bath and lunch.
managed to talk to the p and of cos all of us here know that, p will only say the good things for us to hear.
she did not let us in to walk around as she said the kids were having their bath and its private.

fourth stop, went to learning vision at rp.
me and hubby were impressed with the place.
very clean, has a dance studio for music n movement, very spacious and overall very inviting.
however, the ctr was having a food fiesta on that day so the parents were streaming in while the kids were busy preparing.
was told by a teacher to call for an appointment and come back another day.

fifth stop, kinderland at civic ctr.
this one i took a long time to even enter.
from outside, it looks dark.
place is fully carpeted, the cupboards and cabinets are dusty as i used my finger to lightly swiped them.
looks cramp and feels stuffy.
staff not friendly..told me to just take brochure and read it on my own.

sixth stop, phyllis riccia at woodgrove.
since its in those tudor-like ang moh house...its very majestic.
minus point is there's lots of staircase as is the case with any ctr in a landed property.
and the curriculum is like intl school standard where its quite laidback..lots of play.
heard reviews from parents..local ones..that even when the kid is supposed to be in K1, kid still dont know their abcs and 123s..

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...now i'm really having a headache on which one to choose to enrol faiq in."

Uncle Yuza & Aunty Wahida's Wedding

Congratulations Uncle Yuza and Aunty Wahida!

My First Haircut

Since the cukur rambut I had when I was three months old, my hair has been growing very slowly.
But FINALLY, after 1 ayear plus I'm in need of a good haircut.
Mummy was so afraid of how I would react during the haircut so mummy planned the haircut outing like going into a battlefield while daddy just complied with the captain and provide the moolah.
So after one of my Kindermusik class, mummy and daddy brought me to Junior League at Suntec.
I was so happy and preoccupied with watching the Barney and playing with the sweets that I was not even bothered by the haircut.
At the end of it, I got a pack of stickers and a balloon and mummy walked away satisfied with my hair..hahaha!!!

Juliette Baby Contest

Recently, J Division has organised a family day at Palawan Beach, Sentosa and there was a Baby Contest. Daddy has entered me into the contest. Though I did not win, I was the top fourth baby!

Kindermusik

Recently, mummy and daddy has enrolled me in Kindermusik class. Actually mummy has registered for quite some time but its very hard to get in so we were on the waiting list for quite awhile. Since mummy has started working, we have no choice but to go for the weekend class.

I really enjoyed the last few lessons that I had. I learned a lot about instruments, long and short sounds, songs from around the world and even textures when we used the scarves or parachute. I also got to make more friends. What I enjoyed most is that I get to bond more with mummy while we sing and dance. Thank you mummy and daddy for giving me this wonderful opportunity!

Here's me at my class..

New Float

I have just recovered from my cough and running nose.
Now finally daddy can bring me for a swim.
I was greatly surprised when daddy and mummy showed me that I have a new float.
I was soooooooooooooo happy because its a Thomas float!
Here's me with my new float..hehehe..
