JY,

kalo aku pake yg wooden baby cot, yg bisa diconvert into toddler bed [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]. Jd entar kao udh ngga kepake lg bisa diubah..jd lebih ngirit deh

 


@ novi: oooo....ga kepikiran ke situ...*maklum...1st time mummy*



btw, ada yg pake travel cot aka playpen? mau denger review nya....

 
JY, aku sih beli playpen... bis ga ada tempat buat baby cot... n pikirnya kalo bb ga mao tidur lagi di playpen bisa di simpan. oh ya lu bisa beli mattressnya di KP sekarang lagi ada 15% for non member n 20% for member. kemaren aku liat yg ukuran 28"x41"x3" $45. 3" tuh ukuran tebalnya mattress.

aku sih beli mattressnya di seahorse, di sana bisa customize size...

 
@ yizhen:

ya, aku udah liat di Kiddy's Palace sebrang rumah.



Hmm..brp kl custom-made di seahorse? kt udah pake seahorse mattress di rumah & emang comfy sih...



denger2 kalo playpen, suka sink-in kalo bayinya udah rada gede. bener ga ya? sbnrnya aku kmr baru beli playpen fisher price. wkt dicoba sih spt sturdy....tp ga tau tuh ya....

 
Jy, aku pilih yg 2side - medium n hard 3" $63.60 deh... dia ada beberapa type of mettress deh... beda2 harganya ada di display sih, kemaren aku try yg soft tapi kyknya ga enak jadi aku pilih yg medium n hard loh...

 
JY, kyknya harus spend >= $100 baru bisa jadi member deh... lalu membership fee nya $10 per year. kalo ga salah ya... aku bukan member KP sih...

 
JY,

seingetku sih hrs bayar $10 fee aja deh, dan ngga ada min pembelian. Agak lupa2 inget deh...dulu aku cm beli stoller pad+mainan aja...below $50 jg bisa dpt membernya.



Aku ngga ada beli playpen sih, so no comment.

 
Wah... berarti aku harus ngantri berapa lama nih? musti dateng jam berapa ya? fairnya kan officially buka 11AM? Soalnya item yang aku mau while stock lasts [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

 
Hi Mummies,



Ingin nanya. Ada mummy yg hire baby sitter dari Indo ga? Kalo ada, gimana procedure nya ya? Apa mesti harus lewat agency or kita bisa apply work permit nya sendiri?

Please advise, thanks

 
@jolin:

temen ku pernah bawa maid nya dari indo. pertama masuk sih visit pass spt biasa. tp kalo lbh dari itu, hrs apply for fdw work permit lewat MOM. maid nya hrs ngejalanin english test dari MOM, kecuali kalo dia udah kerja di kita (di indo) udah lama (brp tahun gitu...lupa, bs check di MOM website).



yg aku liat sih, sdkt risky bawa maid/baby sitter dari indo utk jangka panjang kecuali kl orgnya ok banget. Maid temen ku itu, akhirnya pulang stlh 1 bln krn dia depresi, ga betah tinggal di apartment, ga ada temen utk ngobrol (ga spt di indo, tinggal maen ke tetangga), ga suka sama makanan di sini (ke pasar sdkt beda bhn makanannya dgn di indo, ke food court even malay food is different from indo food). Baru 1 minggu di sini, dia udah nangis terus pengen pulang, dll. pusing lah. Pdhl dia dulu di indonya udah kerja di keluarga temenku itu 10tahun lebih.



Menurut ku sih sptnya lebih mending lewat agen sini ambil maid jd kalo ga cocok bisa dibalikkin.

 
Novi > mau beli baby bjorn carrier [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



JY > rencananya aku pake popok kain traditional indo yang iketan itu hehehehe...

 
Claire,

Oic...just advise aja ya kalo baby bjorn ngga bisa dipake lama lho, cm bbrp bln aja. Temen2ku yg pada pake bjorn, setelah anaknya beratnya mulai 7 kg an pada ngeluh sakit pinggang+pundak. Jd kalo nurut aku mending beli 2nd aja, if you don't mind 2nd hand lho. Ngga worth it kalo pakenya bentar doang.

 
Claire > Kl km mau beli 2nd, Chez_mum ada mau jual baby bjorn nya dia.. Kondisi masih bagus, $110. Jarang pakai. Dia tawarin aku tp ak dah terlanjur beli. Kl km mau boleh PM dia...



Halo mummies,



Ada yg heading ke expo hari ini? Kalau liat good deals boleh share disini? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Ada mummies yg bilang kyk stroller nya cheong choon msh lebih murah...

 
hello mummies...



thinking whether shd go to expo tmrw...

anyone know whether pigeon bottles will be cheaper @ expo?

 
Hari ini shopping nih... sekedar review, pake bahasa inggris soalnya sekalian post di threat MTB gw hehehehee



Hi all, I just went back from Expo fair AND taka fair. Yup, took one day leave (actually I need to clear leave by march so thats why lol) so may as well use the time for something useful aka nursery building lol



Expo Fair > Warning. People are really kiasu. My husband today work around Changi business park and he overheard a convo between this mother and her friend, they are going to expo and that time it was only 9 plus! OMG, the Expo starts at 11am loh lol



But since he wanted the baby bjorn carrier that was 30% discount, okay i come earlier at 10.30 AM. By the time I reached there, the Q is very long already. By 11AM the Q are super long. I noticed the goodie bag run out before 12AM (that means, more than 1,000 visitor within the first hour).



Moving around was very difficult since it's very crowded. A lot of mummies with stroller (actually, I pity the small kids as they also got to stand in the Q...) and a lot of pregnant mummies too...



Now on the goodie bag, actually not so worth it if you go there just because of the goodie bag. Only 2 pampers, samples from palmer, pizza cutter (yes!!!!) floor cleaner, bottled water (that make the goodie bag significantly heavier! ) the rest are vouchers.



Discount wise, not so bad. Majority giving 15-20% discount with some highlight product, normally discounted at 30%. Some booth giving away freebies (e.g. MAM booth give you pacifier and breast pad samples if you sign up with their mailing list)



My suggestion would be to mark down where do you want to go because the crowd may make you feel like you wanna cabut ASAP (at least to me, as I don't really fancy crowds). It was very hot despite the aircon due to the larrrrrrrgeee number of people.



As for Taka Fair, it's pretty quiet and we can take our sweet time browsing [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] BTW, you can also go to the third floor (children's department) the items there are also discounted. Because sometimes the colour you want may run out on the baby fair area, but they have it upstairs. As it was pretty quiet, service was good.



From Expo : Stroller, baby carrier, pillows

From Taka : Toys, Stroller add on pillows (as my stroller a bit too big for newborn), Cot mobile

Total damage almost 800 bucks lol



Conclusion : Expo had better deal than Taka, but some items are not available at Expo and you have to brace yourself against the crowd.



@novi & Wens > suamiku maunya beli yang comfort carrier, yang itu bisa buat pake sampe baby besar (3 months ampe 2 years) Mestinya gpp sih soalnya suamiku fotografer jadi udah biasa bawa barang yang berat-berat hahahaha kameranya berapa kg tuh sama lensa-lensa...



wens > aku beli combi sih... disana 10% discount, di cheong choon harganya pas kalau buat combi. Yang di taka dikasih free gift tapi kalau aku mending di diskon daripada dikasih free gift :p



JY > so sorry can't remember the offer for pigeon [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]



Another tips. You can actually call takashimaya customer service and ask them to check the price for you, so you can easily compare price without going there and plan ahead which items you want to get from taka, which items you want to get from somewhere else e.g. expo

 
Claire,

oic..itu yg modelnya kayak beco/ergo/manduca ya?? Cuma ngga bisa dipake di belakang ya..Soalnya aku punya ergo dan aku jg pake sampe anakku hampir 18 bulan sih [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



Besok aku jg rencana mau ke expo, tp kemungkinan besar mau sign up cord life aja, krn udh bikin app ma agennya [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]. Sekalian mau beli baby safe sling...ada disc ngga ya??

 
hello mummies~ went to both fair ( taka sama expo)

compared some prices, going back to cheong choon to get them =)



Thanks Novi for recommending =)



Cheers~

 
@ novi & claire: thanks for checking...

akhirnya kita ngga pergi ke expo .... krn kiddy palace sebrang rumah jg diskon 15-20%. jd pikir drpd desek2 di expo, ya udah beli di KP aja...heheh.



@novi: ga ada pigeon booth ya...wah, untung deh kita ga jadi ke sana....

 
JY,

Waktu aku ke sana hari sabtu sih, ngga secrowded yg hari jumat. Jadi masih bisa liat2 tanpa harus desek2an ma org banyak [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]. Kita juga ngga beli banyak sih disana, cm beli pampers diaper+sign up cord life aja.

 
Kayaknya expo cuma make sense for east siders like me ya... soalnya gw tinggal di bedok jadi cuma 2 stops away, ke town kan males :p tapi kalau yang rumahnya di daerah tengah or jurong area... musti diitung juga perjalanan + ongkos worth it nggak hehehehehe...



Looks like weekend crowd is lesser soalnya semua orang ngira Friday should be less crowded, end up more crowded lol

 
Claire > Tengkiu yah extensive review ttg expo nya [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Akhirnya ak malah ke sana dua kali hehe, sabtu dan minggu. Malah beli Bumwear, so unexpected hehe.



Km tinggal di bedok ya? Ak jg east sider, dr marine parade tepatnya. Sebenernya Kiddy Palace di Parkway Parade juga ada, deket dr tmpt kita, cm aku ga sempet ke PP sama sekali wiken ini.



Yizhen > Km tau ga ya sale nya Kiddy Palace sampe tgl brp..?

 
iya aku tinggal di Chai Chee, lumayan deket Bedok MRT [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Wens,

wah sampe 2x ke expo ya..pasti beli2 banyak deh. Disana aku malahan ketemu ma chelz_mum [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif].



Aku malahan hari minggu ke taka, beli stroller [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]. Soalnya di expo, ngga ada bundle/promosi stroller+car seat, semuanya harus beli terpisah jadi jatuhnya lebih mahal.

 
O ya new mtb yg mau nglahirin, jangan lupa mulai searching PD buat baby kalian. Soalnya entar pasti di tanya deh di hospital, mau pake PD siapa buat nanganin babynya

 
Novi > Engga Nov, trip yg pertama cuma beli celana renang. Saking kecil nya ga nahan kalau ga beli. Lucu bgttt... pdhal bayinya jg blm keluar haha. Belinya di tmpt bumwear itu. Selain itu cm beli ABC playmat sama ban renang gitu.



Waktu trip yg ke-2, akhirnya ada sign up juga majalah mother & baby itu. Aku pilih nya yg MAM bottles. Tadinya kurang yakin sama ini brand, tp ternyata wkt coba2 search online, katanya mayan bagus juga... Jd ya kebetulan dech hehee..



Oya Nov, PD km selain di paragon ada praktek di tmpt lain ga ya? Soalnya kata hubby repot nya paragon tu parkirnya kadang susah dan pastinya mwahal kekekkkk....

 
wens,

Setauku sih cuma di sana doang, tp setauku dia jg ada affiliasi ma Mt E cuma ngga yakin kalo dia praktek disana.



Iya kalo parkir di paragonnya memang mahal, tp biasanya aku parkir di seberangnya paragon, belakang masjid/thong sia building. More space and cheaper than paragon.

 
Novi > OK tq Nov. Ntar boleh dicoba dech parkir disana.



Yizhen > Thx ya. Padahal hari ini br senggang lagi.. tp malah sale nya dah abis [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] Lgpula cot aku ukurannya agak aneh (25" x 49")... jadi agak susah nyari nya.

 
Yizhen, thanks! BOle mnt contact details nya? Harganya not bad yah, kalau bisa custom made. Km pesen yang latex? Yg pasti lebih baik yg ada lubang nya yah?

 
Engga Nov, cot aku pemberian teman. Merek Mama & papas. Merek ini setauku ga ada di singapore de, krn dia memang beli cot nya dr negara dia (sekeluarga pindah ke spore karena kerjaan suaminya). Jadi ukuran cot nya agak beda.. memang ga off2 banget si ukurannya, cuma kalau ga pas ga enak aja rasanya hehe..



Yizhen, br baca katanya mattress seahorse yg latex ga bisa make to order ya?

 
wen, aku ga tao dia latex ato bukan. dia banyak macam sih... harganya juga besa2. lu masuk ke any sea horse lalu blg ke counternya lu mao customade mattress, kasi tao size yg lu mao n tebalnya juga. ntar dia bakal show lu beberapa jenis mattress n harganya juga... jadi lu bisa pilih from there...

kalo aku sih pilih harga di tengah2 loh... kan ntar kalo baby da agak besar dia juga ga mao tidur di cot lagi sih...

 
Wens,

aku pernah denger merk itu disini...tapi kalo cot aku kurang tau. Aku pernah liat stroler merk mama & papas. Kamu ada check mothercare ngga? Kalo ngga salah aku liat merk itu di mothercare.

 
Yizhen :: Ok dech ntar aku liat2 langsung aja di sana. Thank yah [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



Nov, aku dah pernah liat di mothercare si..seinget aku ga ada. Ga tau lagi kalau sebenernya ada tapi ga semua branch carry... tp skrg setiap liat tempat jual cot mata aku jadi otomatis lgs nyari mamas papas xixixix.... :D

 
Wens,

coba cari di mothercare yg gede, kayak di harbourfront, paragon, ma marina. Kalo ngga coba cek websitenya mothercare singapore. Kalo ngga salah, mothercare the only mamas and papas distributor here

 
O ya ada yg mau ketemuan ngga, di hari biasa/weekend...sebelom pada nglahirin.

Kalo pada mau, bisa arrange waktu dan tempat...mkn bisa ketemuan pas lunch/dinner gitu any days deh...



Jadi kita juga bisa saling ngerti mukanya masing2 [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
