(2005/08) Aug/Sept 05' MTBs

eileen: 138, 168 etc.... i think the last time i did was 168, tts in oct. their price dun change much, cos the more heads they do, more profit.
happy.gif
but if u do require better chemical for rebonding, i think Shishedo for rebonding not bad!
i did my 1st time with a salon, 6mths later, my haor ends came out with a 90 degree angle!!! horrible manz... i went to Gary, he did for me the rebonding, last me a yr.. before i head back, and the hair ends, the new grown out ones slightly rough, but overall still last one yr.. and i went back again to do again last Oct after my wedding.
happy.gif
it last me till now... hmmmmm cos now preggie.. cant do..
sad.gif


Adel: u say 200 pricey, u know a salon at Raffles plc Arcade charging almost 300 for a rebonding?!?!?! i was like.. har???? still got such market price.. almost fainted.
 


Hi wendyg,

I am surprised to hear that you can still opt date for c-section when your gynae has already broke your water bag. I thought once water bag is broken, you have to go into labour??
 
adel: ya shocking... i was like cant believe it when my client told me... i was har?!?!? i told her she kena chop. she replied, well its my hubby's money.. so i LL lor.. i die die oso wont pay 300 for a rebonding manz...
 
I paid $500 for rebonding. Can't remember name of salon but it's along Orchard Rd. Can't say it's gd. In HK the price for rebonding is abt the same but I find quality better.
 
Hi miso,
I know what u mean. The old folks always like to say something opposite, so that the baby will not grow out to be like one. But still... I cannot tolerate.

Hi ixwong,
It's not cheap to get a infant care centre. My 2 cents worth of suggestion is to get a babysitter first. Can have more personal care & less chances of exposure to disease. U know when small infant falls sicks, it's very headache one. Maybe when yor bb grows older than get a childcare centre?

Hi Lib,
Not too bad, u still can manage to cook. I am sure I can't manage so going to order tingkat after my confinement.

Cheer up mummytobe,
Practise makes perfect.
happy.gif
My hands oso very tired after carrying her, so I make sure got lots of cushion to support my elbow. Remember to switch your hands regularly & carry her more often so she will get use to it.

Hi reenie,
U sounds so refresh & energetic! Wow!! Got any secret tip? I am celebrating my gal's full month together with the month cake festival..heehee..Initially got a bit of crazy idea like put lanterns, give mooncakes to guests instead of normal cakes.. then hubby say I siao. :p
 
anissa: ....... (speechless)
spend 500 bucks.. even if quality like silk.. i would have to think twice.. i think if u include everything.. 200 is my max each time i spend in a salon.. every half a year. diff kind of spending habbits.

clarissemummy: ur client's hubby rich lah. she's telling u that her hubby dotes on her a lot( which is good) well.. its always easier to digest good things than bad. imagine her telling u that her hb wouldn't even give her 50 bucks to do her hair? how would u react? more difficult right? hehe.. jus quoting an example.
 
adel: i find her over spent..
sad.gif
simple, her hubby only an offshore worker.. well.. to each its own..
happy.gif
i wont spend over 200 for a hairdo or perm... not tt cant afford, but isit a must to go for so high end?
 
hi vone, yup, seldom got chance to go online nowadays..when i logon, dun see u gals leh..how r u coping so far?
me pretty tired, but my mil comes by to help at times..tho sometimes the way she handles bb gets on my nerves..sigh, mil blues..i guess most of us will have them, just hv to tahan lor..she's gettin quite possessive over my boy & wants to do things her way, sometimes so pissed off dat i show my black face..feel so bad cos she has good intentions & i feel like so ungrateful lidat..sigh..so sometimes taking care of bb alone may be a good thing.
 
ClarisseMummy & Adel,
Hmm... $168 sound reasonable to me. Considering for long hair. Can just go there and tell her your name issit Adel?
But not so soon lor. Cause gotta wait until I give birth, then wait until my Confinement over. Then maybe wait until my hair stop dropping, then i go. Hehehe.... Like gotta wait a very long time leh...

Wah, $300 i can buy A LOT OF diapers for my baby leh. Can buy a nice nice stroller somemore.
 
I now finally got some time to share wats going on wif my PIL:
1) FIL insist tht my girl should shave off her hair after full month, but i told him very firmly tht i WON't WANT to shave off and my decision is final.

2) As for my MIL, she always want to carry my girl *understandable as she is the 1st grandchild. maybe i describe 1 scenerio. once i was bathing my girl, and she came. she waited by my side and see me finish dressing her up. then immediately she says she want to carry.

Last sun, i was very angry wif my MIL. took my girl to her place, and she was very tired. I coax her to bed, then left her on the bed. my mil sat beside her, then i heard my girl cry, went in to the room.. saw my MIL carry her.. then i told her she is very tired liao.. guess wat MIL said: she can dun sleep now, sleep later after i go to work ** Biang: can imagine who is the caretaker and who going to suffer if bb is lack of sleep!

Tinting: u noe wat during my confinment, my MIL came 2x to cook dinner and both i rejected her food. She tot tt her son is being ill-treated and tinking of cooking good food for him but neglect me.. straightaway i told my hb and my hb told her off.. haha.. abd then i did not finish my food either.

Tulip: is the hormone change..

mummytobe: did yr baby cry when u carry her? if no then nothing is wrong on yr position, and bb is comfortable.

congrats new mom!

Reenie: maybe u wan to try using a rocker? i bought an infant carrier cum rocker this is really good.. i rock her to sleep during the daytime and amazingly she can sleep thruout.. but sometimes she will try to make things difficult esp when i come online.. haha.

Wendyg: i quite like petpet, currently have oredi used up 4packs, and it oni cost S$8.20 for S46pcs.

Cat_tail: no choice leh, still got to try to cook if not how.. everytime eat outside food i oso sian..
 
Hi all mummies, just checking if any of you got gd recommendations for post natal massage lady? Was very depressed these days looking at my out of shape figure. Hubby commented that this is the fattest that he had ever seen me
sad.gif
(was 45kg pre-pregnant) Furthermore got few functions and wedding dinners coming up in few weeks time, so really desperate to get back to shape, or at least to shed the flabby tummy. Pls help...
 
Eileen: Yess dun see hair length, its a std price for all length. if u are gng to Raffles plc outlet, u look for Adel's sis. if u are gng to Cineleisure, try to look for Gary.

aiyo we kena leaking shit whether from Fitti or Drypers. Pampers Comfort also leaked, but maybe coz their "S" size is smaller than Fitti/ Drypers. Dun really like Fitti Basic coz the covering is plastic! Haven't tried Pampers Premium... sounds expensive! Hubby bought Drypers 2 for $23+ from NTUC. HUggies also expensive right? Heh, u can see i'm on a budget here...

Anissa
Once waterbag broken, hv to deliver within 24hr. For me, waterbag was burst on 22/7 11am. ie my baby has to be out by 23/7 11am latest. So i still could choose whether i wanted him out on 22/7 11pm or 23/7 midnight. I chose 23/7 lor.. difference of only 1 hr mah.

kathy
aiyo tell your hubby to go stuff it lah. 10 months being pregnant, eating thru morning sickness to nourish baby, enduring aches & pains, sleepness nights, carrying a mobile heater etc.. not to mention the childbirth process.. at the end of it he doesn't hv a kind comment about your figure?! Anyone would get depressed having this kind of husband!!!
Hey, weight that took nearly 1 year to add on won't go away in merely a few weeks. My suggestion is to buy yourself a nice dress & be confident about who you are. People who know u just gave birth won't harp on your figure lah. As for people who dunno u just gave birth - who cares about them.
 
kathy: dun be dishearten with what u hubby says.... tell him lor.. without putting on weight, how to have such a healthy bb? Cant be u now on the plump side expect u to cut down weight n flabs immediately.... if he is so concern, as him pay for the slimming bills then.
happy.gif
u just given birth... it takes abt 3-6 mths to get back to the normal figure... dun worry, i bet u can get into some nice dresses for such formal evenings.
happy.gif

i heard some friends telling their hubby, if their hubby ever want them to get preggie, make sure their hubby give them 10k for slimming after birth.
happy.gif
 
wendy, pampers premium is being used by hospitals.. ur boy shld have used it already... so far pampers premium (abt $0.50 per piece) n nepia ($0.30 per piece) dun have shit leaking problem... but then maybe bcos i usually let him sleep face down.. haha.. but seriously their fit is better lor... prime selling pet pet for $13 (70 pieces).. design is like drypers, but the front part not as bulky... but pampers premium n mamy poko are thinner, so bb dun feel so warm lor...
 
I also find pampers premium not so good. My boi poo can leak out. So far tried sealer and petpet - both not bad and quite economical. Only thing is quite difficult to find the S size, manage to get it in Carrefour.

Lib,
what sort of rocker u used? any pix?
 
hi,

Re: diapers,
I've used mamy poko these 2 days and find that although it's soft, it can't hold much and hence will leak. Found it leaking at the side 2 times. So far I've tried pampers, mamypoko, nepia, sealer and mamy poko. pampers is the best. nepia and sealer are not bad. Sealer is the cheapest at 25c. Will try PetPet after finishing the current pieces.
 
Hi Seabreeze,

So you using Nur too! Her massage is 2hr for $45 so find it quite worth lor. But she doesn't massage the breast (I also din request lar). And for c-sect, she will skippy the lower tummy. Quite comfortable being massage
happy.gif
But can't see the effect yet as only 2 times (me doing alternate day). The binding is bearable just abit inconvenient when bf. The tummy does look much slimmer when the binding just been removed, but after a while it'll return to current shape. Esp. after breakfast
sad.gif

And after the massage need to mop the floor cos will be oily (lucky my CL mop for me...).
 
Hi cakey, your post natal massage sounds gd. Can I request the contact from you? Thanks...

ClarisseMummy/ Wendyg
Thanks...Aiya, my hubby always think its so easy to shed the flabs. Think he influenced by the recent reports abt the tcs stars losing the weight after birth within dunno how many mths. Maybe I shd try your method. Tell him to give me 10 grand to go slimming centres if he want me to lose weight real fast. That shd shut him up : )
 
Hi Lib,
i got the carrier cum rocker too
happy.gif
Thanks! i think u are talking about the hand carry type, can convert to baby chair too. But my girl will slide down when i place her in cos' the carrier abit curving,her backbone not yet develop and soft, so decided not to place her in for long, except i bring it along when i go hospital visits to let her sleep in it.

Hi Cat_tail,
wow...mooncake cum lantern sounds great! hahaahah...mine is a buffet party
happy.gif
Maybe should place some mooncakes too! ME super tired lah, where got energetic??? I just finish mopping and sweeping my entire house!! Lucky today hubby around to help look after girl girl. We don't really get to sleep enuff during nite time, even day time got to "entertain" my girl
happy.gif
Got to sound more "refresh" in forum, else everyone feel sian sian...hahahaha..... Enjoy your girl full month party!

Hi Adel,

If I knew it's $500, I wouldn't have stepped in too! The board outside said $280, dunno why when paying that time the guy asked for $500. I was too shy to ask ... Anyway, it only lasted for 3 mths then my hair became wavy again
sad.gif
When I do rebonding in HK, it lasts for abt 6 mth to 8 mth.
 
Anissa: ah... so sad.. once bitten twice shy.. bad service attitude ba.. or rather sales tactics.. should learn long term ba..if can protect ur hair from damaging and stuffs.. ok lah.. but 3 months.. grgr..
 
ting2
ohhh, i thought that was Pampers Newborn or smthg. Aiya so many different type of Pampers! How come no one uses Drypers? What abt Huggies & EQ?

how do u get your babe to sleep? Carry/ nurse/ rock/ sing/ pat/ walk/ all of the abv? Or just leave him to fall asleep on his own?

wah, cloudy weather, so shiok! Wonder what i'd be doing if i weren't on ML..
 
Hi reenie,
How come u do the housework? Should get your hubby do.
happy.gif


Hi wendyg,
I try the dryper sample but dun like. Very plastic & not as soft as Nepia or MP. It also uses tape instead of velcro.
 
hi cmy, cute boy u have!
happy.gif


wendy, that was pampers premium (cottoncare) newborn size. Basically 2 types i think, the premium range n dry range. Always go for the premium one over dry range, ditto for Huggies.


i've got some drypers samples... by the time i used the S size, it's too tight for my boy... he got fat thighs...hehe.... waiting to try the M size samples... I tried Huggies dry comfort.. small cutting, M size like Pampers S size... actually sometimes how we position the diapers affect the leaking problem...

re: sleeping
usually he'll sleep after feeding, but nowadays getting more alert. i put him in the bouncer chair for him to look around.. sometimes he falls asleep there.. or place him in the sarong n rock him to sleep... sometimes he wants to be carried n rocked to sleep, and cannot put him down to cot, else he'll wake up n got to start all over again... singing not so effective for him...

for my boy, if he doesnt want to sleep nothing can make him sleep, n if he's sleeping nothing can wake him up... stubbon fella... :p
 
re sleeping
mine too. nowadays getting more alert, so at least twice a day will have difficulty coaxing him to sleep. must nurse/pat/rock him....have not given him sarong yet. Is it effective?
 
Does gary from cineleisure work on tuesday or wed? thinking of going down.. $168 is v cheap for rebonding. my fren is saying now it is fashionable to have soft perm than rebonding.. not sure

for diapers, bb is using cloth nappies in the morning.. (my maid wash until xiao cos he can pee every 1 hour).. at night i let him use pampers premium, later i will switch him to drypers cos more economical. previously my dd also used pampers premium but unfortunately and suprisingly it leaked.. so i have never used it. i buy mega pack drypers at $19.50 for M84, L72 and XL70.. now dd using XL.
 
tulips: Gary offs on Monday only, give the outlet a call, as at times he is out for courses.
happy.gif
i am not sure abt soft perm... i think even the next time i am gng for a hairdo, i still go for rebonding.. kekke. like it str8! kekekeke
 
hi gals,

just a quite update..... "seabreeze has just given birth to a healthy baby boy tiz morning! "

letz us cheerz for her..... finally her turn is over! :eek:)

gotta go.... catch up wit u gals soonz.....
 
skippy: lol REally!!! i tot she suppose to play MJ last nite?? she was saying last game for the season!!! i think she most likely too excited abt her game, almost GAME!!! tts why bb come out..
happy.gif
 
Congratulation Seabreeze !! Finally her wait is over!

Hi CMY, yr boy very smart looking leh..

Reenie: the rocker i have got 3 position. so i gave her the 2nd which is semi-situp position.. she is very comfortable thr..

Ixwong: http://www.babykylie.fotopic.net/p19503324.html this is the rocker i'm using. My girl so far not comfy wif sarong, tends to wake up easily.. unless u juz kip rocking her.. but for this rocker cum infant carrier i hve no problem wif tt.
 
Hi Seabreeze,
Congrats on your promotion to become a mummy
happy.gif


hi ixwong and mummies,
Re: sleeping,
Initially only when demand milk then will refuse to sleep.. now even just have milk or follow by after a short nap will wake up and refuse to sleep. Besides nursing,pating, i also use pacifier to let her sleep. But have to hold the it for her.. so put her on my bed and sleep togather and hold it for her till she sleep.
 
Congrats Seabreeze!!!
Can't wait for my turn actually. Waiting for you to come back and post your birth story.

I have to question for you all. Do you experience sharp pain our lower genital? I have this sharp pain quite often. Like twice a day. Is this contraction or Braxton Hick? I'm not really sure. Or is it something that should not be happening at all.
It is like a sharp pain, then it disappears.
 


Congrats Seabreeze.......Finally your turn!

Re:Sarong,

I let my bb sleep in the sarong after he is 1 month old. So far no problem with it. We try to let him sleep at sarong at day time and sleep on the bed at night. At day time he also sleep for a while than wake up. This happen since he is on 3 weeks old. He can sleeps well at night except when he wants to drink milk. So far he seldoms cranky at night time. *touch wood

Re:diaper
My MIL let my bb used cloth diapers at day time, We bought about 40 pcs of cloth diapers and he can used up 20 pcs at day time. (I call him pee king ..haha) Night time I used Pampers Premium and Xu Xu Le (both S size). Found out that both quite good for him. No leaking problem at the moment.

tingting & Lib,
he looks cute and smart hoh.... ya...too smart to bully us liao.

My boy recently try to suck his fingers, anyone face this problem? We let him try to used pacifier since he's 1 week old. Till now he still reject the pacifier whenever we puts in his mouth.
