Just a quick survey… How much are you willing to spend for your child’s birthday celebration/ party? What’s the ‘usual’ range?

To Joule,


I think it maybe better not to retalliate with any verbal resentment on the spot when she makes a 'not-that-appreciative-comment', coz the word u say, the way it'll sounds, the tone u'll have and the facial expressions u'll wear will definately not be what your underlying objective to be put across, rather more of venting or voicing out your '不满' over her comments. And this will NOT solve the issue but only lead to further comments being made and the vicious cycle continues. When in argument, any word may sound sarcastic or harsh to both party even when it may not actually mean so.
Better to find a good time to talk it out nicely when u r feeling neutral (not after an argument). May try text her or email her (since she's always on email), make a date with her, tell her upfront that you would like to have a good talk with her as you are feeling rather down recently. Dun say that u \"need to talk to u(her) regarding some prob i (you) feel between us\" / \" i need to talk to u regarding our prob\"... The key phrasing is \"talk WITH you\" not \"talk TO you\" coz the later sounds like \"YES u r the one at fault so i have to talk TO you\" and dun say \"regarding our prob\" as she may not even see or feel that there's prob between u 2. Since u do feel that there's still love between u 2, just that communication is becoming an issue, hearing u say that u r down n need a talk, she may be concern enough to agree on the date without wearing a protective shield n start acting defensive thinking of all the 'allegation' u r going to shoot at her n start planning her argumentative replies even before u meet.
If she does agree to meet, bear in mind that this session is to VOICE OUT how u feel, to BRING TO HER AWARENESS of how u feel, not telling her how unhappy u r with her, how wrong u find her doing these m that... NOT a complain session. Once u start sounding 'finger pointing', naturally her defensive shield will wrap her up and nothing u say will get into her.
Try think of a 'prob' in urself for every prob u finds in her. Make it sound fairer that u o not just point out her prob, but u did do some self reflection and u wan to share with her your penny of thoughts.
For the way she makes comments over u :
\"not sure if I'm being over sensitive, but I feel that when u say..... I feel... I know u may not mean it that way but I think I'll take it better if you say it....\"
For her being engaged with her stuff online :
\"sometimes I do wonder if I'm being too needy for u. At times, after a long day at work, coming back home, i do wish for some time to simply nua n relax with u even if we were to do nothing, watch tv, chat a little as u r my charger to my life, spending time with u recharges my energy. Hence when I see u occupied on ur lappie or phone, I feel very distanced. I do wish to spend more time with u\"
...........
My point is, putting urself down at the 1st place doesn't mean u r at losing end or inferior. It's just an opening to feel that u see it as \"it's US\" not \"I think YOU...\" taking her defensive shield off her allows her to listen to wat u gotta say.
Mind not to turn it into an interrogation session questioning her \"why do u say this...How do u think Ill feel.... Why can't u....don't u think.... Can't u see....\" coz her replies will definately turns u off.
If u think u can't say these to her in this way when facing her, put theses into words in a letter (good thing abt letter writing is that u can vet thru again n again to get the most appropriate phrasing, and these words can be undo unlike spoken Words once said can't take back ), hand the letter to her to read when u meet. Reading letter also 'force'her to finish reading all that u wan to say rather than her jumping to her defense interrupting ur points. But crucial thing is do it face to face so u can immediately add on n follow up after she reads.
If there's still love, let her feel that u r troubled coz u care for ur relation.
Just be mindful to 'share n voice out' not 'complaining' or 'thrashing out all faults'...
I hope this can be helpful

My gal is is Bright Juniors at Punggol Twenty-Fourth Ave.


Very pleased with my decision

Teachers are friendly and helpful, Principal very involved and engaged with daily activities and manages the kids very well. She plays a very important part in helping my child in settling down. I was pretty nervous during the initial period when I see my gal cries when I dropped her off, but what the Principal did was very reassuring! She would do up collages of what my gal did in school - gal @ nap/ @ meal/ @ play and etc and send to me to update me on how my gal is doing. Seeing my gal getting on well in shcool under her care (as well as her teachers) put my heart at ease. The principal seems to know every child in detail lor. I’ve seen her chatting with some other parents at random times, and she can relate every little things that each child did in school, give advices and feedback to the parents. I supposed she spent lots of time in every class in order to know the WHOLE school haha. I’m impressed coz I feel that for a teacher to know her class children = should be and expected of, but for a Principal to know every child in the WHOLE school, it takes lots effort lor. Especially after gethering feedbacks from many friends whose kids are in other childcare, seems like what my gal’s Principal did is not a ‘norm’ … some Principal I heard just sit in office lor. Overall, the whole environment and feeling there is very ‘homely’ Big garden / outdoor space, in the midst of nature… I like

Just a quick survey

- how many times of sex do you n spouse have on average per week? And the number of years you’re married?
(objective is just to ‘guage’ the average or norm for a couple to have, being married for 6 years)
- for woman : how many times per week is ‘good’ to you?
- for man : how many times per week do you think is ‘sufficient’?

Anyone have review or comments about the branch at tanah merah? My friend’s child graduated from there last yr and was quite pleased with things there but heard there’s a change in the principal or supervisor this year and things might not be the same? Any parent out there with kids in the centre crossing this phase? Is it still good to send my child?

Hi Everyone,


I sourced that there are quite a few childcare centres deep inside end of Punggol Road (near the jetty side). Bright Juniors, Dayspring kindergarten, EcoKids, Carpe Diem…

Anyone had any comments or personal review for these?

I’m particularly interested in Bright Juniors as the principal portrayed herself very professionally and friendly! The environment is very cosy as well. Heard that this is a new branding which took over mid 2012. Have a few friends’ children are in there, quite good review (though fee slightly on the higher side amongst the others in the location.

Just wanting to hear from more

Thanks!
