Which kindergarten did you apply for “ton ton” and Lucus ah? I have asked my mum to send in application forms to a few, in Kowloon and in Hong Kong, because don’t know where we will end up staying next year.
Ah B,
Thanks for your compliment on B Ching.
Christabelle is still young, it is quite normal for them to feel insecure and want to be cuddled to sleep. I know it is very hard on you to have to spend all your attention on her all day long but, trust me, things will get better as she gets older. “add oil”
I was quite frustrated with B Ching when she was younger as well, terrible sleeper, and very insecure! I “trained” her to sleep on her own from very young. Looking back I think I was quite cruel to her, there were times I will just leave her to cry herself to sleep because I was so frustrated by her constant crying. Nowadays, she wouldn’t let me cuddle her to sleep anymore, because she is not used to it. She wants to sleep by herself on her own bed. When I ask her whether she wants me to sleep with her in her bed, she says, “NO”. I kind of regret being so “stone heart” to her when she was just a tiny baby and I miss those times when I cuddled her to sleep very much! So try to enjoy this stage of Christabelle’s development, it will pass very quickly!
Regarding BCG, B Ching also has similar experience. (I am beginning to wonder whether B Ching and Christabelle are twins!) The GP has to try 3 times before he can successfully inject the vaccine into her arm! So she now has 2 mini scar and 1 big scar on her arm!!! Our GP is really !!!
Yatjeh,
We also applied to St Catherine, but they gave us an interview date of 12/11 which we cannot attend. We have sent in letter to ask whether we can change it to December, so far no reply yet.
I am also planning to apply to St Margaret in Happy Valley, but their interview date is 3 Dec and we only touch down at 3pm on that day. So don't know whether they can give us another date as well.
I don't have any high hopes of B Ching getting into these kinder, just try first. I was thinking if she is not successful in these, then we will try again when we move back next year in Spring 06, hopefully other less popular kinder will have extra places after all the other children have confirmed their places. Worse come to worse she will just have to go to international kindergartens law.

5/11 lunch no problem for us as well. Superstar is fine with us, or we can try the Thai food as well
]Tiff, Cissie, Jelly, Zenia,
For 12/11, I just realised that it is the day of the Lord Mayor show in London and a lot of roads will be closed for the parade from 7am to 4pm. There's also going to be fireworks on the river thames from 5pm. See link below. What time are we thinking of meeting? I might have difficulty driving from East London to West London that day. Do you mind if I am late, maybe around 7pm?

did u tell the midwife that you have brown discharge? i had brown discharge too when i pregnant with my 2nd child, so they offered me an extra scan to make sure the baby was ok. luckily, she was fine.
they won't be able to tell you that you are expecting a boy or a girl until your 20 weeks scan.you just have to wait..... be patient

how old was bching when you start train her to sleep on her own? how long did she take?
i want our bed back, but worry about Irene's crying could wake Trevor up.cos Irene sleeps very late, and Trevor sleeps earlier because he has to go to school. and she might wake him up. people say train girls to sleep on their own is easier than boys, is it ture?
just picked Trevor up from school, i've been told by his teacher that Trevor slapped his classmate's face twice today. once was for toys, but the other time , we don't know why he did it.he has been very naughty since tuesday, (he got chest infection on tuesday,now he is recovered , and Irene has high temp. and throat infection.)since then, he is very naughty, always yelling at me, screaming, not willing to share toys with his sister........i got really fed up, especially every morning, i have to spend at least 20 mins to wake him up, he doesn't want to get up, and just yelling, kicking, crying.......and drives me mad!!! :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(
