Singapore Parenting Forum for Sg moms and dads

Over the Raya break, EM & I busied ourselves setting up SGMoms.Net.. what an irony.. I'm not even Singaporean.. But I would like to think of it as a forum to support moms in singapore or singaporean moms residing overseas currently.. of cos, although majority of us are moms, there are very few dads.. and they are prominent due to their minority status :D

But nevermind about the new board.. I wrote these as my final words in the last few functioning days of m4m..

People who know me will know I'm a sentimentalist.. I joined m4m when I was searching frantically for some form of bfg support back in 30-Jun-2003.. then Ken was 2-3weeks old.. and he was at the hardest point of bfg due to his growth spurt, perhaps.. i remembered I was with tears when I signed up and posted for help..

To reminisce those days, I'm listing down what I remembered most in no particular order:

• all the breastfeeding support I gained here.. without which I would not have breastfed my 2 kids for abt 2years -direct at home, pump at work - thanks to all of you: Meg, Mum2Nats, frond, Pamela, blue, ifaish, dmjzz, lingsum, mandy, lynntan, chichu, bluemoon, michelle, citronelle, dinomom, etc, etc
• i learned to bake cake from here (my first attempted recipe was from jthorge's though I can't remember which)
• the bread making session by Lee (HugBear) at Ratna's place
• more baking sessions at Lee's place..
• the SB challenge conducted by Sri.. I swear she is the most creative person and we had such fun!
• when rostov "left", I took over the admin role.. *big sweat*.. as I'm not used to php and hostings, etc.. but I'm thankful to be able to learn as such it's so useful at my current job..
• the few outings organised by Ratna herself.. she's so generous inviting us to her place to bake and mingle..
• Regret most: did not join the M4M gala dinner as I had just delivered Wenn and was having a tough time starting work after my retrenchment
• the boliao kaki postings - super boliao sia..
• the banter and jokes by DLL.. he was a great joker then..

How about you? What are your memories in this wonderful place created by Ratna?

Lastly, I screen capture the below to remind me what fun I had once.. how unselfish people were to encourage a stranger like me then.. a part of me make me looked back with fondness.. another part of me is worry if I can run SGMoms.Net well.. when a bunch of people get together, there tend to be heated arguments and displeasure.. and I hate confrontations.. but, i trust that everyone will be sensible and will be tolerance towards each other.. I trust the members to safe-guard SGMoms.Net so that it will continue to be a platform for discussion for many more years.. :P
