Found IT!

Finally i found a preschool for YiWen.. YIPPIE! Seems like I'm more excited than YiWen hor? Spent 4 days checking out 8 popular preschools nearby my neighbourhood, and finally we GOT IT. It is not a Montessori school, but somehow the fees are more expensive. Especially on the miscellaneous fees which covers their study materials, parties, library usage, art and craft material, stationery, water play, dance training, toy fees and bathing toiletries. RM350 ?


What i like about this preschools:


1) Clean, tidy and bright condition - i hate those gloomy gloomy classroom, make me wanna sleep all time..
2) Playground are super clean and at almost new condition. Make me wanna play along too.. ekekeke
3) Mini Gymnasium for kids! This is what i'm impressed the most. They have this mini colourful treadmill, bicycle and etc for them .. ngam ngam their size.. so cute!
4) Management especially the principal is very friendly. It is equally important to have a nice-to-talk-to teachers around. We must chat with them to know our kids' daily progress right?
5) Food are cooked by retired chef. Ya.. he was a chef in UK western restaurant and local chinese restaurant before. Wonder how he ends up here? He is actually father of the principal. Got it?
6) Uniform that need not mommy to iron.. argh! I don't know whether you like to iron or not.. but i hate it... sweat like hell when i need to do this chore... this preschool provide t-shirt and a cotton pants (but look like a skirt).. very cute design.. i like it a lot!
7) Strategic, just on my way to work .. nearby my neighbourhood.
8) Disallow students with fever to attend class.. they will check temperature every morning before enter the classroom.. if fever is detected, will call parents/guardian to bring them home to rest.
9) Water play every friday (if no rain).. so i'm getting YiWen a new swim suit lo! YiPPIE!
10) They only absorb public holidays and close a week on CNY. This is very important for working parents.. I visited one montessori school which required long holiday for christmas and 1 week holiday when long term school holiday.. Cialak.. 


School will start on 3rd Jan (coming Monday), just can't wait to send her to preschool to have fun, learn and mix new friends.. :D

60oz or more GONE!

Poured away more than 20bottles (3oz each) of breastmilk into drain!


Haiii.. due to my mishandling of it. Should have put it into freezer right away after pumping as YiJing is not able to drink all in time. I had put it in refrigerator compartment for more than 1 week only when I thawed it for YiJing, the smell of the milk was awful.. tasted sour too.. YUCK!


Hub said nevermind, it is not that mommy has no supply.. he also added that if next time i pour it into drain again, better use it to water plants.. he wanna save 2 plants on our balcony which are dying away soon...hehehe..

Should I send her to Preschool?

I'm in big dilemma now. I hope mommies out there can give me their view on this matter. YiWen is gonna be 2 year and  3 months next year. She has shown some interest to learn new things and she is learning quite fast too! She also start to learn to talk and try to repeat some words while we adults were talking. I really wish that she could learn more and have more fun with children of her age outside the house. But, will it consider too soon for her age now? Another big big concern is i heard that kids in daycare or preschool get sick a lot.. :S No mommies like to see their kids fall sick OK? Very very heart sick one! Since I'm still in maternity leave till early Jan, should i use this opportunity to accompany her few days in the preschool?? Sigh.. headache now..
