tks kk.. i din take ginseng wine cos i am allegic to wine.. juz add abit of DOM for some cooking..

okasan, perhaps i am a cantonese.. always belive in tonic soup.. so surprised to c all the food so normal except as what u said.. add more ginger/ sesame etc..

ipanda, dun be stressed.. when i first delivered, i got no milk till 4th day.. by then so engorged that i went to tmc parentcraft to pay the nurse to do the hot massage for me.. cried like mad cos they did the hard massage for 2 hrs+.. real painful..

after that, milk start to flow... but very little.. oso rely on formula milk.. now things r better.. but my BM still not enough.. only enough to feed bb for the day.. at nite still rely on FM..

but bb growing so fast, that he needs so much milk that i cant catch up..

KK, chk with u.. whether its normla for a 1 wk bb to drink abt 60ml+ BM for every 2 hrs??? very xiong leh to colllect 60ml+ for every 2 hrs.. juz now i feed the bb 90ml. he can finish it.. gosh.. can't catch up.

[hidora]

dsiitan,

I used to stay in Pasir Ris (MIL's place), until I moved back to my mom's place during my 7th mth. So now I'm staying in Woodlands. ;p


kk,

I dun even bother to get my hb to go shopping with me. His face turns super black after 5 mins of walking in crowded place. So usually I just go myself.


peng, mspiggy, celeste, gillian,

20/06 nice date hor.. Haha. That's if I get to be induced on that day lah. My gynae is thinking between 15 to 16 June. Then after that she got talk, so tell me I can't pop. Then best date is 20th June. But hb say that is if bb cooperates. Later go in 20/06, he pops 21/06.


tinklebell,

Aiya, really tot you went popping liao. ;p


i_panda, okasan,

Dun be too stress out. *Hugs*

Hey, which block u staying?

[i_panda77]

[dsii]

kk
haha..ya loh..but will u come all the way to pasir ris to shop at giant??? hmm...quite near oso lah..not very far though..

maybe becos u all stay nearby thats y so sianz of that place loh..just like me so sian of Whitesand (beside Pasir ris mrt)..so seldom shop at whitesand one..another thing is..that place so small..compared to Compass Point...

 

[poohy]

panda, your boy looks v chubby

remind me of my boy when he was borned... u take care hor ..

re: full mth

just wana share w u gals... i feel v v happy today cos just saw my pastor's email that he is willing to pray for my girl on her full mth day in bb dedication. my girl's full mth will be an extremely quiet affair as all my relatives will not turn up or see us till 49days after her birth due to their superstitions. Like I told u all before that my cousin met with a severe accident leaving him brained injured and lying motionless in bed for 3 months till recently ...just days after my girl's birth, he suddenly can speak and do lots of things...(which show Glenn Doman is right cos he recently started physiotherapy...GD states how impt the physical program grows and help re-organise the brain)... anyway they said giving birth and confinement unclean...so those who visit us cannot go near him till 49 days.... thats y no one visited us since joelle's birth and not on her once in a lifetime full mth day too.... made me quite sad cos i dun hv much frens ..always hang out with my relatives, my hb side also dun really invite their relatives cos not that close and his mum busy looking after my SIL's twins... in any case its such good news to us that at least our Pastor willing to bless her that day (even though we seldom attend church service these days)...that's the only thing that matters

dsiitan,

i work in a bank in tampines too...go century sq and tampines mall untill so sian.... wish i work in orchard more shops!!!

kk,

my hubby also v poor thing... he drives me and my mum around whole day on weekends and non working days so naturally he gotta follow me on all my shopping trips lol

talking abt outings and movie.... i wish can see the Omen... like v interesting. hope can find some free time ... i only watch movie at most once or twice a year...exp lah...and cant bring my boy..dun like to leave him at home...

but frankly after the birth of my kids... we dun really go out on our own.. my mum keeps saying she will take care for us but i chose not... so we even celebrate our anniversary or other occasions during lunch time on working days

 

[kerenelu]

dsiitan,

My hubby always go to whitesands jean yip to have his hair cut because his hairdresser friend is there. So i tag along and do some shopping. But ya lor, very small and pathetic leh. Why they build a shopping centre so smallllllll?

We dun mind driving to giant to do some marketing. Very near leh!

poohy,

wahhh ur hubby so good, drive both of u around

My hubby will nag and nag and nag liao loh if i were to ask him to do that

My hubby love X-men.. most likely catching it today.. i guess i will zzzz in cinema haha! I dun even understand part 1 and 2 when watched it that time because.. i also zzzzzz there heee...

U got bring ur boy out during june and december to watch cartoon movies? They always show that during the holidays

Me and hubby watched chicken little and loved it sooo much! I heard the recent one is good too.

 

[ahblur]

[okipoki]

Morning ladies !!
What a cool morning if can nua at home... sigh I am working today

Seem like alot of you staying in the north-east leh.. I worked in the east so I get to have lunch in areas like Tampines Mall, Century Square, Compasspoint, Kovan, Junction 8 & Parkway as well.. Hehe !!

 

[kerenelu]

okipoki,

Wow, u reach office liao?

Aiyoh, raining leh.. bb still sleeping.. dunno what time me and hubby can go gaigai

U really have good places for lunch!!! I have only school canteen to go to

 

[ahblur]

okipoki,
me also working...but feel so sleepyz....but i thought even if sit around at home also nothing to do...haha

Parkway Parade got a lot of things to eat rite?

 

[mspiggy]

Good morning!

panda77, your baby is soooooo adorable! Chubby cheeks....

 

[kerenelu]

okipoki/celeste blur,

I love the teochew porridge at parkway parade food court

 

[okipoki]

kk,
so far i go there eat the mee robus, ban mian etc didnt try the teochew porridge... probably next time

Later going HG Mall for lunch... Hehe !!

 

[ahblur]

kk,
i tink the food court at parkway got a stall selling mee-siam and mee-rebus quite yummy also rite?

 

[okipoki]

kk,
My working hours start from either 8 or 830... Normally I reached ard 820

School canteen food cheaper right but eat long aso sian hor.

Think the rain will go away soon lah.. dont worry

 

[kerenelu]

celeste blur/okipoki,

The food court always seem to crowded, so i mainly ate at teochew porridge stall when i went there shopping

My mum staying at paya lebar.. so ever since small, my favourite hangout place is parkway parade heeee.. there was a major reno at one time rite? Then become a shopping paradise

 

[okipoki]

celesteblur,
yeah that stall sells nice mee siam & mee robus... but mee siam i still prefer "Qi Ji" (got branches in Tiong Bahru, Century Square, Bugis etc)

 

[tinklebell]

Good morning!
Another day to go....
This morn got a lot a discharge... donno normal or not.

ipanda,
yr bb is so cute and his cheeks r so chubby ...somemore got David Beckham hairstyle ...all ready for the world cup?

poohy,
u sounded disappointed that no one visit u during the whole one mth ... but look on the brighter side... u can rest well without all these distractions. There r so many types of superstitious beliefs ... but if your relatives choose to follow, let them be lor.
my hub's grandma died 10 days after my son was born and my in laws and hub's side also never visit us although i didn't mind them coming over.... i wanted to pay her the last respect but relatives keep telling me it's not good for me. aiyo...didnt want to be disrespectful to the relatives... so eventually didnt even have the chance to see her off.

celeste,
i just finished packing my hospital bag. SO HEAVY!!!! luckily it has wheels. As if i am going for holiday! haha!
last nite i searched high and low for my v-cam batteries .... finally managed to find them.

 

[okipoki]

kk,
yeah forever crowded... i used to like the tom yam steamboat @ a corner but now dont seem to hv alot of ppl eat there liao.
Me too used to frequent there when i was young cos stayed in the north mah

Yeah after the reno, more things to shop...

 

[ahblur]

kk,
next time i go there i must try the teochew porrdige stall

When i was still a kid, always went Parkway cos every week go Yamaha there to learn organ...haha, ever since i grow up only go once in a blue moon...*lol*

okipoki,
Qi Ji? It is the stall name? Will keep tat in mind...hehe

tinklebell,
hehe, me tuesday nite juz finished final packing, except the bras and camera i havent packed in cos still must wear! *lol*
Camera is becos we leave the hospital bag in hb's car and his company there is open-space parking...worried that the sun too strong might spoil the camera.
Hehe, ur hospital bag is heavier becos u packing ur hb's stuffs? He staying overnite with u rite?

 

[hidora]

Morning Mummies,

dsiitan,

Not moving back to Pasir Ris liao. Will only go there during weekend. My mom is doing confinement and babysitting, so will be staying here lor.


kk,

Ya lor, wonder why they build a shopping centre so small. White Sand is really pathetic leh.


celeste,

Haha, I also dunno what time can check in leh. Gonna check with gynae on next visit. ;p


tinklebell,

Wa! What exactly did you packed?!! You make me wonder whether should I take down my luaggage bag.

 

[ahblur]

hidora,
luggage bag!! *lol*

My hospital bag is only those medium-sized Nike sports bag...haha
But also becos hb not staying overnite with me, so no need to pack his stuffs

 

[tinklebell]

celeste,
opps.. i u just reminded me i havent packed hub's stuff... will be even heavier. i left my bag at home cos i have the cord blood collection kit inside wh cannot be exposed to heat. hubby's work place is just a 5 min drive fr home. he says he will go back to fetch the bag to the hospital. anyway, the bag doesnt contain anything wh i will need urgently. more importantly r my contact lenses, ic and docs letters wh i carry with me everywhere i go.

 

[okipoki]

celesteblur,
Yeah thats the stall name & is famous for the popian as well

Me too hv packed my hospital bag but without the camera in & as what u said cannot put under the sun.. I brought my camera to work everyday just incase...... hehe

 

[okipoki]

tinklebell,
guess u are ready going for ur "holiday" kekeke... My bag is very packed liao so cant imagine if u going to include ur hubby's stuffs...

 

[tinklebell]

hidora,
***me blushing liao***
not luggage bag lah... just that this bag has wheels. it's like those bags that travel agents like to give... bought fr Guardian....i just chucked all my stuff inside and though not many things, they r quite heavy!
What i brought:
1) 3 sets pajamas
2) 1 pack of disposable undies
3) Toiletries- toothbrush, comb, facial wash, few pads, 1 bottle of contact lens solution
4) 1 set going home clothes
5) 1 breast pump
6) BB hat and booties
7) Receipts for claiming fr medisave
8) 1 digicam

[tinklebell]
