Any sad song can just easily make me cry now

Am listening to a link hubby saved in the favourite. And my tears just kept flowing and flowing.

Today marks the first day of the close-to-1-year course that hubby is going. I feel happy for him, yet sad that he will be away for 1 year.

I did not cry at the airport. Coz I didn't literally see him off at the departure area. My FIL and I went off earlier as hubby and his frenz moved off to McDonalds. I cried when I went to bed, sms-ing hubby before his boarding. Its hard on me, but I know, its even harder for him.

I hope he'll stay thru the entire course and make it through. Hubby, jia you... You can make it. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going...

Wiffy and baby will be looking forward to your return. Muackz...

Yuxin's 2nd day in childcare

So... the Bedok CC talentplus class was full;
The newly opened echoey environment at Cherie Hearts at Bedok is not very ideal for Yuxin;
The childcare that I prefered - MFC is full and gotta wait till December.
Yuxin is bored at home, walking around, watching and listening to nursery rhymes.
Thus hubby and I decided to put Yuxin at Smartz Playhouse.

Hubby brought her to register yesterday and started her program on the same day. I think they reached there close to 10am, stayed there for ard 1 hour plus to settle on some registration stuffs. Then went home for her to sleep. Then 2pm, hubby brought her for her 5-in-1 3rd injection, went back to Smartz after that and left Yuxin there.

Hubby fetched me from work and we went to fetch her together. When we reached, I saw her standing at the entrance crying coz some parents came to fetch their kids. Poor Yuxin, she must be thinking where is her Papa and Mama. Heard from Ms Koh that Yuxin has been very brave considering that it's her first day. She could play, sing and dance with the other kids and teacher.

Today is her 2nd day and FIL drove us there this morning. She was clinging on to me and FIL in the center, wanting us to carry her. I think she knows that we're gonna leave her there. The teacher distracted her with a box of toys and we sneaked away. It was heart wrenching. Felt as though I've abandon her there although she's there to learn and play. Sigh... Yuxin, Mama and Papa loves you ok?

Hope tomorrow will be a better day for her.

Fun at The Polliwigs

Alright, here to share my trip to The Polliwigs which I was mentioning in my previous entry.

It was a very nice place to bring kids to build their motor skills and run around. They had a cosy corner where there's magazine racks and even an internet corner for parents to relax while the kids have their fun. Rainie was so excited when she saw the 3-tiers colorful playground, she was pointing and nodding her head, can't wait to set her feet into it.

We paid $8 for 2 hours of fun, which hubby and I thought was quite worth it.

This is Rainie's favourite corner. Pardon for the blur pics as I've forgot to bring camera and took it with my hp =(



And here's more photo of her enjoying the fun.





Rainie was all so tired after that. We reached home around 4pm, she fell asleep after having her milk. I had to wake her up at 6.30pm for bath and dinner.

We'll definitely revisit the place again =D

Its been soooooo long

Wow, its been so long since I last updated this blog. Well, I've been so lazy to update the blog, especially from Nov to March since hubby was outstationed in Afg. I was all alone to look after Rainie myself at night. I'm glad I had a nice and helpful parents-in-law who had been helping me to look after her during hubby's absence.

Anyway, little Rainie had started to walk recently ard her 16th months. And I guess its time for her to go attend some playgroup to learn things and social with other kids. She had been notti, mischevious and 古灵精怪... Hubby and I are worried that she might beat the kids in school coz she always slap us for no reason -_-|||

Well, initially I thought of sending her to weekend gym class. And so last Thursday we brought her to My Gym at Parkway for a trial class, and another trial class last Sunday at Gymboree. I personally prefered Gymboree coz I felt it was more lively with more kids. Hubby prefered My Gym as the class was smaller with more facilitators, 5 kids, 3 faciliators versus 13 kids, 1 facilitator at Gymboree. Anyway, after much researching, I realise we can actually bring her to this kinda playgym to build her motor skills at cheaper price at alot of places. Like Polliwigs, Explorerkid, Go-Go-Bambini, etc. . So, now I'm thinking of enrolling her at Julia Gabriel which Sylvia recommended me. I shall bring her to a trial class at Julia Gabriel next month when Rainie turns 18 months.

I'm also torn between Talentplus and My First Skool at Bedok. Tsk... One is 2 hour program while the other is whole day childcare. But I think most probably will put her in Talentplus coz I really don't bear to let her stay in the childcare the whole day although she could learn more things over there with longer hours.. Sigh... Dilemma...

Shall not rant so much over a mummy's woes. Am planning to bring Rainie to Polliwigs to explore this Saturday. I'm so excited coz from their website, it looks fun and there's a nice and cosy corner for parents too !

OK, will update again (if I'm not lazy) on my trip to Polliwigs.
