TotsLand Playgroup (From 1 August 08)

After attending the free trial session from Totsland, I have decided to enrol Rayden into this class. Not becoz the program is good but only becoz it's near and relatively cheap.. hahaa
Very convenient for my FIL to bring him over, wanted to enrol Rayden into AppleTree (a better school) but it's further away, need to cross road and the overhead bridge, scare too tired for my FIL + Rayden now like to roam freely, can be very dangerously for them.

So Totsland playgroup (5mins walk from my block)
Starting from 1August08 (fri)
930am - 11am (weekdays)
Class size about 7 toddlers with 2 teachers.

Sing along & Movement
Art & Craft
Snack time
Story Time
Sing Good bye
END

The structures are very simple, I feel not learn much from there.but it's a time killing and networking for Rayden at this age :)

Monthly $100
Material Fee $50 (1 time)

===========================================

02August Chalet @ Aloha Bungalow

Hubby is supposed to attend the chalet today ,meant to be a whole day event, but in the early evening, he need to conduct some viewing over at Pasir Ris, hence he dropped me and Rayden at Ehub to hang around (abt 3hrs+) while he go do his stuff then back together to the Aloha to meet up with his frens.

Spent 1 hr at Ehub! the rest shopping at NTUC and Gelare!

Bye bye "Dotter M6"

Always love our car, Mazda 6 2.3 edition SFN5257Z ...
The outlook, the feel, the drive... I like it alot, been with us for close to 4years,
but sighz, it have to give way for 7seater sedan for the sake to accomodate more people into the car.

29Jul08 - her last day.
I get to drive her to work and back home. 630pm i reached home, within 15mins later, the toll truck came, hubby settled the logistic with the guy while myself, Rayden and FIL are upstair viewing down.
I wanted so much to take the last shot of our baby, but as I am carrying Rayden looking at our car, I do not want to disturb the emotions and run 2nd level to get digicam, and so, she left w/o last pic taken :(
The moment she boarded onto the truck, I suddenly feel so sad..She gg to be away forever ...Good bye Darling... I asked Rayden to wave bye bye to her too...
Then she left, hubby came up from carpark and we went into the house together, suddenly Rayden cried loudly. He cant bear the car?! SO sweet?! NONONO, it's becoz no gaigai for him, he knew it when we closed the metal gate LOL...

Still not used to our new car, but guess i will like it soon also.
The feel is totally diff now, it's a more family orientated car, the seat is high, so much diff from M6, i don really feel v comfortable in it ... yet.



Good Bye forever, love you baby .... muacks..

Kindermusik Weekly Class

Phew finally.. Having attended numerous of trial classes, finally come to a decision.
But could be coz
1) i am tired of searching more
2) i feel really time for rayden to attend some classes n learn
3) to spite hubby (lol)
4) the struture is really not bad but only too COSTLY!

Brought Rayden for 2 trial class ($25.50 each on 19th & 27th)
The structure is not bad, quite fun for the kids, but i feel it's a lil bit too short the duration (45mins) but again toddlers at this age 45mins seem juz nice for them. And of coz, the class fee is quite steep.
All in all, i paid ~$250, Hubby spent a lot on the new car recently, so i decided to pay for this semester. He paid the registeration fee $30.

Theme: Away we go
Semester 2: 7 lessons x $25.47 (starting 2nd Aug)
Home Material : $95.23 (compulsory)
A pair of Hohner Harmonicas
2 Music & movement story books
2 CDs
1 Home activity book
1 train box
One time registration fee : $30

So throughout, it's only me mainly and MIL & BIL playg w Rayden. Nonetheless it's exciting enough for Rayden...

After the buffet session, end ~2pm.
We proceed to EHub! 's XplorerKids...
Being a XplorerKid's member is more worthwhile, so we signed up immediately.
With the promotion from NTUC card and MayBank card, we paid ~$12 for a 1 hour session of fun

I find it quite cheap :)

Rayden had so much fun today that he refused to sleep / eat, keep playing ...

Monday, i took leave to acc my lil boy .. he's still on the way to recovery from flu..
Seeing and knowing he almost wanna gaigai every moment.. I proposed to bring him out on my own. WAnting to bring him to the reservoir but nothing much there , so decided to bring him to the Bottletree! Heheheehe...

It's a nice place for the lil one to catch fishes there. Min age is 3.. I waiting.. hhee will surely bring rayden there when he's "qualify" LOL

A Week of Virus

Ever since the Booster vaccination, taken on the 21June (sat), Rayden darling is down w flu + slight fever. I do not think the illness are caused by the vaccination, but due to the "hachoo" from a lil gal at the clinic :(
While Rayden was playing w her at the clinic, she accidentally sneezed onto Rayden's face, it was unintentional but well ..sighz.. her mum din even apologised but quickly instructed the daddy to bring her to wash hands. Pls la, i think we should be the one doing so. I only use wet wipes to clean Rayden's hands then wipe his face w dry hankie. Then brought him out of clinic to "sun" him a while..HAa i hope the sun will kill the germs byt apparently wishful thinking.. Sighz.
19mth darling weighing at 10.8kg, 82cm. Around 50% percentile, but if comparing to his birth growth rate, it is considered at the slower side :(

After the jab, he keep wanting to scratch that part, but it appears a lil red n swollen. Then Rayden walks w slight limp.. These are the expected as per the PD.

Then came Tues, he started to hv quite heavy flu, then w fever, brought him to PD for medicine, havent got better for the flu but the temperature is norm measured at the PD. Wed, feel that his virus came visting my body, then ya Friday i was down w MC :(
Been a week +, finally Rayden get 99% well by TUes! phew been one whole week.
LEsson learnt, do not visit clinic at the crowded timing. :(

Father's Day!

Planned for a whole day events, but was shorted by half and super "rushy".
Coz maid clean house until 1pm+ , Hubby have "viewings" until 3pm :(

Nonetheless, we are making the fullest on the Father's day!

I managed to ballot for the FOC Co's Science Centre passes.
Set off to Science Ctr around 330pm, reached ard 4pm+. Bought Imax tics for the Grand Canyon at 5pm (the Dinosaur show was soldout for 5pm slot :( )
Made a quick dash in the Science Ctr, aft 50mins, rushed over to the Omimax Theatre, juz in time!
Rayden was quite scared initially, becoz of the loud splashing sound of the movie. Btw this is the first time we brought him to a theatre and furthermore such a enormous one for him..hee..
We are quite thankful tat the Dino show was sold off.. else i think Rayden gota say "pai pai" throughout the show.. LOL ..
It was fun anyway... :)

Phew... after the big rush..eventually met my family to dine together, a celebration for the 3 Daddies!!
At the Sakura Toa Payoh .. the resturant is so noisy and messy..wat a headache to me.
But glad everyone enjoyed the food, though i don feel the quality but only quantity.
Wanted to bring them to Hotel's buffet, but FIL suggested Sakura, ok lo..save $$ for me.. Lol!!

Prince Rayden have been v notty the entire day, refused to be carried..keep struggling and throwg tantrums when things doesnt get this way.. Notty Boy!
