esh mummy
the D200 cost $2k+. hb paid by instalment. he bought it from funan centre, a shop named John something. the service there is good. but got to wait for some time before there's someone serving you 'cos quite crowded and the owner is willing to spend time to explain to the customer on how to use the camera patiently.

hehe... to me, all digital cameras look the same except the speed difference and additional features to capture the precious moments.

Re. Tiger Food Jar
Ok, being the super kan cheong mummy, I went down to Tangs to get the Food Jar after work yesterday. It's retailing at $55, very expensive. But with some previously earned Citibank rebate + yesterday's 12% rebate, managed to get the jar at around $45. I put 2 level soup spoon of rice plus 1.5 chawamushi cup of boiling water into the jar, after 2 hours, the rice turned out soft only, not nua enough to be baby porridge. And there is still quite a lot water left in the jar, the rice has not absorbed all the water. Somewhat like Teochew porridge, except the rice is a bit harder. Sigh... very disappointed leh. But when I opened the jar, the rice was still piping hot. Maybe need more tha n2 hours. My HB suggested boiling the rice (with meat) in a pot for maybe 5 - 10 mins first for the rice to 'open' then pouring it into the jar. Sounds like a good idea?
CL,
Dd you warm up the Jar first before putting the rice and boiling water in? Read in the instructions manual that this will help retain the heat better.

Re: Tiger Food Jar
If you want the porridge to be more 'nua' you have to use less water. I normally put chicken/pork rib stock in the jar instead of water. I'll bring the stock to boil in a pot and being kiasu, will add the rice/fish/veg into the pot and let it boil for about 1 min then pour into the food jar. I only use the tiger food jar when I need to go out for at least half a day, so the porridge is "cooked" for at least 3-4 hours. Not sure if it's nua enough if it's just 2 hour.

Cookie,
I don't have a good map for Gold Coast cos we don't use maps. We visit gold coast very often plus it's really easy to get around there so we don't use maps. The map of DFO isn't helpful either. To get to DFO from Chervons, you need to get out to Ferny Ave then onto Gold Coast Highway and follow the directions to airport. Once you reach the roundabout that's nearest to the airport, slow down and look out for DFO. It's a one-storey building so really need to keep an eye out for it. If cannot see it, then stop at the shell station near the roundabout and ask for directions. : )
Btw, I just remembered that you can actually take a train from the airport to Gold Coast too. I think it's actually faster than driving or coach but the drawback is the train station is a distance away from Chervons.

Hi mommies!
Been busy these 2 weeks with house stuff. Just bought a new place and sold my flat over the weekend. Now got to rush on reno before baby pops!
Congrats to Wenyl!!!
Denmy,
My EDD is 1 Aug 2007, have not decided on name yet.
Mamachan,
Were you the one who used Desitin? My staff sale this round still did not include the new brands, so prob have to wait till the Aug round to buy for you.
BTW, any mommies want to latch on my orders? Let me know and I'll email the list to you.
SSF,
Just got reminded again on your missed Rainbath item. Do you want me to get for you this round or transfer the $ back to you (it's long overdue i know!!! I've been wanting to get my hb to transfer via atm to your POSB account).

hmmmm, maybe it's good to have some couple time alone together? Talk things out? Do the "1st works" when the both of you initially did when dating and freshly married? Maybe will help to spark things up?

I go to Dr Fong Chuan Wee at Gleneagles, his charges are very reasonable. In fact his basic delivery package in Gleneagles can end up cheaper than KK.
SY
I presume you had JH shortly after u got married? Prob too much changes within a short period. Ya agree with Mamachan that perhaps to "rekindle" your r/s before having #2.

wah...so much talk abt the Tiger Jar. Regretted selling mine for $40. Bought from previous BP and realised its too big to hold my porridge. When I poured my boy's porridge in, it only filled 1/4 of it.
I still double boiled my boy's porridge and cook twice a day. But i realised that if i were to put in thermal container for his porridge, my Tiger flask doesnt keep very warm and within an hour, it already turn lukewarm. Odd. Wondering is it because I double boiled and hence the porridge itself is not boiling hot.

Dr Fong is good. He used to be at NUH and my mother sees him. My cousin also seeing Dr Fong at GEH. After he goes into private practice my mother just follow me to my gynae Chan Kong Hon at GEH.
SY
Maybe your hb felt neglected as I can see you have full attention on JH. There are so many things you want to do for JH but was rejected by hb so you may feel bitter inside. Well the kid belong to both of you. Dun have to compare with others like what is being done what is not done yet. Both hb and wife should come to an agreement what to do for the kids. Discipline is always under my hb, education and toys is under my field. Then we still have some couple time without the kids. Be it chatting after the kids has gone to sleep. You know we chat still about kids. He will share what Charmaine tell him that I miss. Then once in a while we will leave charmaine with mum and aden with nanny to go out and have a good dinner. Sit down and talk things out. I am sure everything will work out just fine

Yes, its me who uses Desitin. Do keep me inforked when Desitin is included
I'm down to my last tube already so I'll probably buy 1 tube first to tong until August. Do PM me the staff sales list too!
Flo: Gynae
Prof Ng is also at gleneagles. Yes, I agree that after the package, my 1 bedded room at gleneagles for normal delivery with epidural is even cheaper than my friend who delivered at KK. Only drawback is gleneagles 1-bed room is really miserably small compared to Mount Alv and TMC. Also, its considerably further for me. That's y I feel like changing to another gynae nearer and I'd prefer a female. Prof Ng was recommended to me by Prof Susan Lim. He's really good but honestly, I'll feel more conmfy with an experienced and good female gynae.
Vet recommendation
Now, asking for another recommendation for a reasonably priced and good vet. So far, I heard this indian vet at Namely is not good. Heard the one at Bukit Timah Sunshine place is good. Anyone brought their pets there before? I used to bring my old dog to the vet and clementi (cant remem road name.. some ulu ulu very private place near NUS) but its way too far for me.

I thought lukewarm is good ma. Ariene doesnt like her food warm. I always have to blow the food cool for her. If its even abit warm, she'll spit the food out. After reading about so many posts of the tiger food jar, think I'll get both a 0.7L and a 0.9L for keeping Ariene's porridge/pasta when we go out on outings or tour. YEah.. no need bring slowcooker anymore.
Tiger food jar
Mummies who have it, y not try out other recipes and see if it cooks. Like, macaroni soup? Stew? I was thinkiing if its capable of cooking porridge, it should be capable of making stews the same way right? Just pop in small USA potato and carrot and beef/chicken/pork cubes, pour in boiling water and cover. Can someone try and see how it turned out?

I lied down whole day yday, my back super aching now. So better sit a bit, stand abit then go back to sleep once the medication take effect.
We not only go to same gynae and even same pd Y Y Yip. Dr Chan is well respected by all other dr and nurses. You can see lots of dr and nurses goes to him. Even Goh Chok Tong's daughter. Hee Hee. When you are at the hospital, I am sure the nurses who attended to you in the ward will tell you Dr Chan this and that. Well he is recommended by my office doctor. Even my Family GP goes to him. Now my sil, my frens mostly goes to him. Only thing is he can only practice in GEH.

Oh, I was upgraded to a much bigger room previously (I think deluxe Single) when I delievered cos they were short of rooms. But the -ve part is that it's not on the same floor as the nursery. But it didn't really matter to me cos Mel was in NICU and can't sleep in the same room as me anyway.
