thank you snoopy!!
Hi vone,
Dun worry abt the list. The most impt thing is u dun stress urself. If u still dun feel 'up to it' then take more leave frm work. Ur baby is after all the most impt.
Share with u something funny. Yesterday my dress gave way when I was getting up frm my seat at a coffee shop. The top kinda fell ... wahhhh ... so embarrassing! Hahaha ... serve me right for not getting maternity clothes though I am already 6 mth pregnant!!!

Hi Vone,
Me had a lousy day today. Left my atm card in the machine this afternoon after I deposited the cash and just remember it now
I didn't see the need to buy maternity clothes until now cos I have only put on abt 3 kg in all and most of my clothes are loose dresses so can still wear. But after what happened yesterday I guess I better go get some.
Went to Mothercare last Friday and so tempted to buy those lovely clothes for my little boy but since the fair is coming up, I believe the bargain will be even better.

hi seabreeze.. apparently Nissan Sunny's fuel consumption is abt the same as hyundai.. i feel that jap cars are overpriced... exploring toyota vios, nissan latio, hyundai accent, chevloet aveo. prices are also dropping... so thought it'll be a good time to buy... at least can use for the new year..
tingting,
it's okie abt d weight gain. if i remember correctly, u r pretty small sized, so it's not 2 bad. 4 me, i m pretty big sized, if i put on 2 much weight, then it's veri difficult 4 me 2 lose them after i hv given birth.
ya, i aso hv d same feelings as u tis morning, really feel like sleeping in. but cannot oledi. was on mc 4 d past wk, if i dun go 2 wk today, tink i wld out of a job soon.

Hi Tingting.. nissan sunny really drinks petrol like drinking water.. matrix on the other hand is their petrol container is like a funnel... so if u pump petrol at the 3/4tank mark.. u properly will nid to pump like S$40 in order to make it full tank..
Toyota vios is a good car comparing to Nissan.. but the thing is the car boot is quite small.. and now is cheap oso.. 1st of all, u have to determine what kind of car u want lor.. whether if is juz a 1.0 or 1.3 or 1.5 or so on..

Gd morn all MTBs,
Nice weather today & I already dun feel like working..haha..
Gosh! Tok abt wt gain, I am gaining abt 7kg! I read an article that as long as overall you have gained 10-15kg, it shouldn't be a problem. Of cos, it's just a guideline.
Hi tingting,
Try to get Toyota if you are thinking abt better fuel consumption for long term. Altis is not bad too, the interior is spacious.

OMG ... that looks like a loooooooooooooong list of items to buy. Sure gonna burn a hole in my pocket.
Not too sure if my lack in weight gain has anything to do with my diet. I have fast food every day. If it's not Burger King than it's MacDonald. Too busy to go for lunch due to work so always get colleagues to 'ta-bao' for me.
Went to get my ATM card replacement this morning. The staff was very rude. I was there around 10.23 am, the door was opened so I stepped in. This woman came to ask what I want so I told her. She said the bank is only open at 10.30am. Just 2 more mins so I said I will wait. She asked me to wait outside then said there is a chance my card is retained by the machine, ask me to go home n wait a few days to see if the card is returned to me. I asked if there is anyway she can check the system cos I dun want to wait a few days then have to come down to the bank again, she told me no. Anyway, I stepped out, called the phone banking service and the lady online told me that atm cards will only be retained by the machine if 1)the machine is faculty or 2)the person keys in more than 3 times the wrong pin. For my case, I forgot to remove the card after depositing my cash, as such, the card will not be retained. In any case, she checked the computer system and my name was not there. She explained that if the machine retains my card, it will automatically send a report to all the terminals. Really dun understand why the woman at the bank told me she couldn't check. Anyway, I went back to the bank and by then it was already past 10.30am so I went up to her and made the same request. She told me the bank has just opened and she hasn't boot up her system, I will have to wait. What kinda staff is this? She waits until 10.30am exact to boot up her system?? Then she strip my new atm so hard that the white part behind came off and I still have to pay $5 for it. Arrrgh!

see how. My mother bought a dozen for me already. She will be getting another dozen, think 24 pieces is more than enuff!Actually I am thinking of getting disposable diapers cos can save me a lot of trouble on washing. Too tedious liao if I get the cloth ones. Newborn diapers are hard to get so I feel like stocking up first..heehee.. a bit Kiasu rite.
Aiyoo Anissa,
Dun eat too much fast food lah. Once or twice a week is ok but not everyday! All these are processed food leh, not very healthy one. Can ask your colleague to tabao economic rice instead?
I was 43kg initially and now I am 50kg! Probably I am very conscious abt my diet & lots of durians.

hi anissa,
occasionally fast food is alright to eat, i take fastfood a few times a month, but not everyday...maybe u can try to pack sandwich from home for lunch? its healthier too
OR ask your colleague to pack rice/noodle instead of fastfood.
For me, if i have alot of work that day, i will take a heavy breakfast at home, then pack a sandwich to lunch, teabreak eat some biscuits with milo...OR i will ask my colleague to ta pao rice/sandwich for me.

reenie, I will also be using both cloth diapers and disposable ones at night. My MIL says tat 20 also not enough!!... we bought 30 coz daytime usage can be quite high. We bought the better quality ones from Johnsons&Johnsons coz MIL says those kind can dump into washing machine and won't be spoilt tat easily. Remember to buy the diaper linen so that the cloth diapers will be easier to wash...
Gals, remember to buy the "waist-band" to protect the baby's bellybutton, coz new-born very sensitive.....

Wah reenie,
Your mum is so nice! For me, noone help me to wash so no choice lor. Oh yah it's true, newborn diaper seems very hard to get. I was doing a lot of marketing around Seiyu, Isetan, Taka, NTUC, etc... and I could only see 1 or 2 selling with limited quantity. There are also not many brand selling newborn diapers so that makes it tougher to get.

Hi Seabreeze,
If my hubby is there he will sure file a complaint against her. *LOL* As for me, I am more 'easy-going' or shld I say lazy. Hahaha ...
But last Friday I was really angry! I was on this escalater and this woman behind me pushed me very hard and caused me to fall. Her train was at the station and she didn't want to miss it but there were many people in front of me and they were not moving! Pushing me sure wasn't gonna help. I raised my voice and told her off right there and then. She just walked away without apologising. There are just so many inconsiderate pple around.

thanks for the advice on cars! i think overall vios is value for money n within budget, but everyone seems to be driving it, so checking to see if there're alternatives..
i'm also intending to use cloth diapers during daytime n disposables at night... i heard that a bb can use up to 15 diapers during the day (depending on how frequently u want to change, at risk of diaper rash), so using disposables can be quite expensive.. also cloth is more gentle on the skin... when buying new cloth diapers, remember to pre-wash them a few times to get rid of the chlorine n soften the fabric. I'm intending to buy 30 for a start... usually newborns do not use as much, until they increase their milk n water intake. Nappy liners can help ease the washing for the poo poo ones... do you know that the more durable liners can be washed n re-used?
today had a scare.. didn't see the curb in my carpark, n twisted my ankle a bit.. hopefully no impact on bb...

Anissa,
If I am you, I won't let her get away easily with this! This is too much!! Wah liew, can't tolerate these kind of ppl. Definitely I will pull her one side, and scold till I am satisfy... so shameful of her..
Hi reenie,
Wat is "waist-band"?
I missed out the 2 places you mentioned.. *lol Probably I am targetting more on Nepia & Pampers. Thanks, I think I will look out for these 2 brands too.
