oooh... I don't know if my cabinet is the big or small one. But I guess it's almost 1.5m in height and quite deep.
Little prince, u got it at the same price as me
My hubby says that I'm a sucker for containers, be it paper bags or plasticware. Am usually prohibited from going near them... hehe...

My hubby says that I'm a sucker for containers, be it paper bags or plasticware. Am usually prohibited from going near them... hehe...berry... if I'm really free, I like to make wontons. Usually have them with my instant noodles.
It can keep quite well in the freezer.
Very easy to make, just use mince meat and black fungus. Add loads of pepper, bit of corn flour, sesami oil, bit of cooking wine and salt to taste.
I gave up peeling water chestnuts and prawns for the wonton long time ago

chihiro, i think the latest EDD should be more accurate? makes me wonder if my EDD will change too.
littleprince, even those who give birth this year get the 2 days childcare leave this year? like, if i give birth on 8 Dec, then on 8 Dec I have a child below 7 years right? so that means I get the 2 days childcare leave in 2004? or will i be accused of abusing the system..
littleprince, hmm, now i think about it, when i'm on mc i also have problem with lunch as the food around my home either sucks or must take transport to get to decent food. i think i better continue working until as long as possible..

Hi little_devil,
If you are delivering in Mt.A, then all you have to bring for your baby is :
( I ) a set of clothings for your baby,
( II ) mittens, boots and cap
( III ) receiving blanket to wrap baby in.
.... according to the in-charge there.

hmm .. the instant noodle with oyster and tomato sauce sounds good, worth trying .. wontons .. i used to make them but not very nice w/o chestnuts leh ..
just came up and bought a pack of curry chicken noodles fm my place's coffee shop, but guess what, the minimart dun sell china apple drink .. argh! i bought 7-up instead, will get hubby to bring me to supermkt and buy my china apple drink to stock up tonite ..
kypf,
its not only for those who gave birth this year to enjoy this childcare leave, its for anyone who has a kid below 7 years old now .. tt means even parents who delivered 6 years ago also can enjoy the childcare leave this year but after their kid turns 7 then cannot liao ..

littleprince, for you, if you really give birth 20 Sep, then after your maternity leave, you can probably take your 2004 childcare leave in Dec, for example.. but for me, if i give birth 8 Dec, then can i take 2 days 2004 childcare leave followed by maternity leave... it sounds like abusing the leave but at the same time it's not clear, so it's more like exploiting the loophole..
chihiro, wow, I'm envious- I also want my EDD to shift forward, preferably shift to tomorrow, that means max only got 1 more week to go
little devil, u haven pack your bag yet?? i thought i'm the latest in packing bag, you're
even later than me.
beanie, your wanton idea sounds good! maybe i'll also make some one of these days.

kypf,
oh, i think i know what u are trying to say liao .. maybe u can ask yr HR after 1st Oct (when this leave takes effect) whether u can take yr childcare leave but i think maternity leave needs to be started fm the day u give birth leh .. i am not too sure either, u may want to chk further ..
i rem' asking my HR whether the childcare leave will be given immediately fm 1st Oct and she mentioned tt govt says co. hv the rite to pro-rate if they want .. ie. if start fm 1st Oct, then will only hv 0.5 days left instead of 2 days .. but i wonder if this leave can be brought forward to the next year or forfeited if not taken this year ..?

little prince, just soak the black fungus in tap water & cut into small strips.
Aiyar... nearly forgot, I also added mushrooms Same thing, soak in water then cut into small strips.
hehe.. really bad memory nowadays... pai seh...
wonton skin I normally buy from supermart. Expiry date is on the pack itself. But if you freeze the prepared wontons, it should be ok for a week or 2.

Kpyf

littleprince, i ask my HR long time back before the announcement came out, as i planned to clear my annual leave before taking the maternity leave.. they said no problem to take the maternity leave after the birth of the child, as long as it's not ridiculous like 6 months later. yeah the 2 days would be forfeited if not taken this year and as far as i know in my company it's not pro-rated..
oranges, think my hubby is very impatient, everytime i feel the baby moving i quickly as him to feel but he put his hand there for few seconds doesn't feel anything he give up already.

Hey gals I think our babies are really trying to be well behaved infront of their dadies too smart right? I hope it will continue once they are out so whenever my bb will be crying I can hand him over to dady... good idea ha ha ha
lil prince
during my classes at MAH they do mention that we need to carry bb's going home out fit and receiving blanket from home means they wont provide us but I think they r going to give us a bath tub for bb as mentioned in my "How to bathe ur bb". For camera there is no problem bt no video shooting is allowed..
You gals are still ok that ur HR made things clear for you, in my case when I e mailed the HR manager regarding details abt maternity benefits she simply replied she has to discuss with management first already 10 days no reply.
For my confinement my parents in law are coming (from india) for abt 1 month so we are still trying to figure out which date is more suitable coz my MIL saying it wld be much better if she is staying longer after bb's birth so thinking of 15th oct (myEDD is 21 oct) it shld be alright?

berry, my hubby need to work, so hor~~ i cant expect him to wake up every night. I also heard from frens tat when they handle it themselves, they suffer Post Natal Blues. I was advised by many people to get a confinement lady.
As for looking after and bf baby, i can learn during the 2nd month. Cos i think for first month, it is better for us to have enough rest, not too stressful, build our body and ready to roar at 2nd month onwards.

mngo,
yah, and as wat u say about post natal blues, i agreed. as due to our hormones sudden change again, who knows wats gonna happen and how are we going to feel....so at least if theres a CL, it really take loads off us while we can rest and relax better and at the same time can learn things from her.

leo29,
me oso going to see gynea next wk, hope to hear some "good news" like chihiro too.
very excited lah, hope to see & hug bb asap.
btw I found that lots of low waist pants & skirt i bought earlier very tight liao. I'm very uncomfortable to the skirt I wear today! out of sudden like very tight leh, hope it wont affect bb. just waiting for time to go home so can change it asap. haiz... think i need to start shopping for materity wear again. but hor, if i buy now then can only wear for 3mths.... a bit wasted hor.

angelia, from what I know, taking sugary food causes baby to be big (lol, prob thats why my baby is so big). so cut down on sweet drinks, tidbits, durians, mooncakes, etc.
emma, just go to any medical shop and ask them to show u what cordyceps and pao shen looks like. v hard to describe.
mngo, i know what u mean, but be prepared that if CL do nightfeeds for you, you wont be able to latch direct if you planning to BF.
Just my opinion- every MIL is different, I wouldnt judge my r/s with my own mil just based on hearing 'horror stories' by others. its just like if she hear horror stories about DIL and thinks I'll be like one of them, I'll be terribly sad and hurt as well. So far, my mil and i are quite fine. no doubt its gonna be diff when she comes over everyday during my confinement, and maybe we'll have diff opinions that needs working out, etc. Still, I would choose to start off with a positive mindset and mentality, and tackle the differences only when they come. Instead of start off baised and thinking that we'll sure have problems (if I start off thinking so negatively, even no problem also become problematic in the end).

TBL, some of my bottoms also became quite tight towards the end, very uncomfy. no choice, just buy a few more pieces lor. better than having nothing to wear. or how about buying on yahoo auctions?
little devil, be positive, things will be hectic but only for a v short while. once the transition period over and we're more settled down, things will be better. I'm already looking forward to the being able to go losing weight, regaining my figure, going shopping/pedi again, and also looking forward to being able to bring my baby out when I learn how to handle alone. then we can all meet up and yak about our babies keke....
