Pawprint/Yuru, are you keen to share the Karihome Goat's Milk Sweeties, 70pcs at $5 each? She has 1 original and 2 yogurt. I only want the original tin and I can collect from Bt Panjang. Yuru, I can pass to Pawprint and you can collect from her.

the bikes at White Sands got many types, i bought one for Rhyan after checking skyblue that time too. think got one come Taiwan (ard $80-90) and another from China ($60-$70), the big difference is the brake. the one skyblue bought was cheaper and she didn't realize the brake was stiff and difficult for our kids to brake (which is very impt). after her feedback and we also realized during test drive, so bought the middle range (China bike, Taiwan brake) at in-between price (think $80 but can bargain abit). so best to let Athena test drive and see which is most comfortable for her in terms of height and brake.
burning dvd - what software do you all use to burn your kids video clips and photos into dvd for watching on TV huh? is it a free software that can be downloaded fm Net? Pawprint, you are the only one i know that knows how to do this for now.

read yr blog last night and realized the boys and u caught HFMD, can understand how difficult it is after experiencing what Rhyan went through last year. do take care and try to get the boys to take more fluids, even ice cream if they refuse other food (PD told me that).

lilprince, eh her hand can barely wrap round the handle, cannot hold the hand-brake *at all*! That's why I think too big, feet cannot touch floor although feet can reach the whole "pedal cycle". But she's sooo happy with it lor (oh, she conned PILs into buying for her, they went out "for walk" and came home with the bike!).
DVD, i use the one inside my laptop, haha, i know not very helpful info . Intervideo WinDVD Creator. Rather limited functions. BTW I haven't burnt any since A's bd... and Irv's 1st bd haven also... and dun need to say the older vids lah. All this "housekeeping" takes too much effort ah!

pawprint, yuru
the brakes are very important. u may not be fast enough to chase after the bike (they just pedal and the bike move lor) so must teach them how to brake else dangerous. Rhyan can manage the bike but didn't really know how the brakes work till we taught him, so far so good. and, i just sit to watch, no need to chase now.
pawprint - u burnt athena's birthday dvd that time using this software? i realized i have this software too but its not a creator. got another different software with creator but clueless to use it. haiz, must find time to read and analyze! Rhyan performed in CC last week for CNY and i videoed them all down, nanny wants a copy so must really take it as a reason to start learning how to do it.

any kids here with itchy necks? like hot weather, sweatish then necks are itchy and they keep scratching? what do you apply to ease the itch? thks!
lilprince, I think you are referring to heat rash. J gets them too as she has sensitive skin. We used to apply powder but it got worse. Apparently powder dries up the skin more. I think just try not to let Rhyan sweat so much (very difficult, I know) esp now weather getting hotter.
Take more baths, let the area dry by itself. If it gets bad, perhaps get something from the doctor.
Yuru, yah SG weather woes! I have no solution to that, cos I get heat rash all along.
Aiyoh, am such a Dodo Bird... I bought the Taoshu Warrior Boy *thinking/ assuming* it's in Mandarin cos I tot I saw it in Mandarin, now then realised it's in ENGLISH. It's stated in English at the back, i din read, just assumed!

Hi little devil,
I have hamster at home and yes they use bathing sand instaed of showering with water, cos that is their 'natural' way of cleaning themselves. they don't really like water.

I am back to those baby days again! How time flies huh, now pumping EBM as I type replies. I almost forgot how it feels liao, to cuddle a squishy newborn, to burp a sleepy n wobbly baby, and to wake up to engorged boobs.
lil devil, yar, the way to produce good bb weight is to have a bb at beginning of the year, so that its xmas/CNY time during last trimester so that you'll be feasting nonstop haha.
hamster- eh I think dun need to bathe leh.
Pawprint, LOL dont pretend hor, u oredi congrats me liao! I am using your BP somemore leh
Hey btw, when u used the BP, way speed setting did u use? Does it mean that if I use a higher speed setting then dun need pump for as long?
yuru, yeah, 3.78kg at 38 weeks, imagine if I had waited till 40 weeks?
coolmama, haha I think they are referring to my new bb (right?)

Berry, haha no I think increasing POWER wun produce faster milk lah. Most impt thing I remember was to Relax so that let-down will occur. I had trouble with that! You tried latching one side and pumping the other? More efficient too (cos baby latching will let-down, no matter the pump power, hehe).
CSR, actually... I do entertain wild tots of a #3... but hor, then I think abt how to juggle, I scared liao. Ahgirl is so sensitive and sticky and easily jealous of my time divided, i dun think she's ready for another sibling (maybe never ever ready?). Ahboy is sticky and scream-y. Full-stop. And I can't do a Monkey God thing, split hairs to be in different places at a time to send the kids to their various activities... I know others can, but I can't as it is!
MANDARIN VCD,
wahkao. I just played the "Chinese Vocab Builder" Vol 1-3. VERY CHEEEEEEM AH!!! Ath likes it but I find too cheem, I played only "1 lesson" in Vol. 1, not even the whole Vol. 1 VCD cos I think it's overload of info. Frankly, I see 1 lesson, I get headache liao... but thankfully, Ath seems to think it's nice. She really does think ANYTHING is nice, huh???
I forgot that mandarin needs to learn all those strokes (heng, pie, heng-zhe, wahhh, i "return" all those info long time ago!!!).

charsiew, hehe go ahead and have one more lar!
yuru, no lar, cindy is fine and great the way she is! Anyway when she hits her teens, she will prob be envied by peers for her petite frame hehe.
lil devil, haha maybe he is the smart one, he knows dun need to do work so early since he can finish it on time anyway; He works smart, not hard!
MT, eh I cant latch leh (long grandmother story which I shall save for another day), if I can I wouldnt choose to pump, its so incredibly time consuming and troublesome to pump. But no choice lor, better EMB than no BM. Well, I'll try for as long as I can tho I sadly feel that its a matter of time when my supply will just drop till no more (sigh).

pcs, can u email me a pic of the aloe vera gel are u using for keira? thanks!
berry, I think once the brs empty, even if u extend the time, u dun really get more milk? but it probably does signal the brs to produce more? But it's amazing if u can manage to handle F & pump at the same time!

Jen, I guess I am trying to stimulate supply also to make up for the low pumping frequency. Cause if I pump every 6 hrly and still pump only like 20 min then I think my supply will plummet real soon. I dont really get to pump when she is around unless my hb is around too (also need to spend time w her, I dont get that much time to do stuff w her these days as it as), so only pump when she is in sch or at night after hb comes back. Like just now I started pumping for 10 min then bb woke so stop fed and bathed him, then now back to pump again lol, abit haywire, but better than nothing lor.
Berry, initially i was hesitant abt latching/ pumping with #2 while #1 ard... then after awhile realised too much time spent doing that, rather have #1 around me while I pumped lor. Cld still read and TALK to her while pumping heh. Just covered up with a shawl haha while everyone filtered in-out my room! :/
Show and Tell joke
Gab is so funny. He had to do show and tell in school about things he likes to play with. He told his teahcer that he wants to bring his baby sister as he likes to play with her. I told him to ask for permission. His teacher told him, 'Your sister is not a TOY!'
He told me that and added, 'Now cannot show my friend. I scared they will take her away. She not a toy what!'
