hidora and kk,
dont worry bout kenna stared....i let u know my experience. I was like got my driving license arnd 19 yrs old. Then i drove my dad's car a no. of times only. After that didnt drive for like 6 yrs. Then we bought our car and i also very scared cos its like 6 yrs never drove...when i started driving really very "garang gabok"....so scared....but now quite okies liowz...i can even drive to orchard road! Haha
Most imptly if u never drove for a long time, start off by driving arnd ur neighbourhood cos normally neighbourhood not so many cars...and hone ur driving skills there first...after that start to drive further away

ipanda, wow genting very cooling
i love cold weather!!! am sure u will enjoy yourself.
btw, i heard that there is a hill next to Genting called Bukit Tinggi. There's a german like resort there (cant rem the name though)... next time can try that one too... peaceful and quite place.
Celeste, your bb is bigger than mine. mine is only 1.3kg at 28 wks 5 days. but she had a growth spurt last 3 weeks. was only 800g 3 weeks ago and i thought she was pretty small... maybe the korean ginseng and good food helps
how was your tim sum yesterday?

celeste, that's mount sorak. yes, must take the cable car up... and must climb up the rocks to get to near the top. surprisingly, i didnt feel tired climbing the mountain but once i am home doing a bit of housework makes me so tired... strange.... psychological perhaps.
kekeke... still managed to wear those old winter clothings i had... so didnt have to borrow

tinklebell,
My bb at 25wk 2 days that time was only 768grams. Yesterday suddenly become 1.4kg...tats y i was like quite shocked. I wondering if the weighing thingy is accurate boh...*lol*
Yeah, i ate dim sum at Dragon Gate restaurant instead yesterday....but its only average. Weekdays is $12.80+++ per pax
....weekends is $15.80+++ per pax
. Maybe next time i will try Goodwood Park one...but i think i saw that its only available during weekends.
Hehe, okies...tat is Mt Sorak...my memory failing me liowz...hehe....i tink when we r having holidays we will forget all those tired feeling or wat...and moreover the weather is so cooling we dont sweat...so its like more comfy walking etc
But was it very cold? U need to use heat pack boh?

okasan, the hospital will normally have a PD to screen thru the bb. afterthat, it's up to u whether u want to have a PD or not. my son doesnt have a PD. Hep B injection in polyclinic is free. but nowadays there is the 6 in 1 injection to include Hep B... so maybe not necessary to bring to polyclinic for Hep B.
tinklebell,
I still remember that time i went....i kept a heat pack inside my gloves too...was so cold then i even use the scarf to cover my nose...otherwise nose will feel a bit painful when breathing in the cold dry air
Haha...our memory fail another 2+ to 3 more mths only...after that when we pop our memory will regain back
okasan,
will have a PD contact juz in case bah...but i tink injection after bb full mth can go either PD or polyclinic rite? I think i will go polyclinic bah cos its cheaper than going PD. I tink PD consultation fees charges not cheap..whereas polyclinic is only like $8 or wat

celeste... the price at polyclinic depends on wh injection. There r 2 types - one type can cause fever, the other type not likely to cause fever (if fever occurs, will be quite mild). The first type is FOC (but of course there is a small fee u have to pay for consultation). But u have to pay like $300+ for the full dose of the second type. Most pp choose the second type bec it is less traumatic for bb. If taking the second type, u dont need to go polyclinic, GP or PD clinics all have.
btw, the nurses r the ones who administer the jab in polyclinic.
Okasan, re PD, i suppose better to get one near your home for convenience. we dont have a regular PD for our son at the moment. only seen a PD twice - one at birth and another time when he had high fever.

re: korea
that time when I went korea, we were there when it's the coldest of the season...imagine our mineral water turned into ice just within the short period when we went for sightseeing....coldest temp we met was -17 degree and -20 degree when on mountain top....
our tour guide even joked that we can try spitting coz the saliva will turn ice even before reaching the ground...*LOL*
tat time, me and hubby very garang, din even wear long johg and din use heat pad...just jean and our winter coat...

tinklebell,
oic.....i didnt know there are 2 types of injection....thanx for the info
I think i will choose the 2nd type even if need to pay $300+ cos no matter what its more comfy for bb if they dont get fever or lower chances of fever. But I heard PD charges consultation fees on top of the injection charges? Think consultation fees alone is like another additional $60 bucks or so? Need ur advice on this
okasan,
did u join the FBI at TMC? I think they have a list of PD also and if u joined the FBI u get discount on consultation fees at those listed PD
I am not sure whether Dr. Adrian will recommend any PD boh.
As for Korea, u went during coldest! I salute u...haha...i went when it was like -15 degrees and i was oledi shivering like donno wat...*lol*

okasan, i checked out the price last time... the GP near my home charged less than polyclinic. Not sure abt PD. For my son, we brought him to polyclinic the first time for Hep B jab... didnt like the place coz very crowded ...scared kenna other viruses fr other sick pp.... somemore the nurse who administered the shot was v rough and he cried non stop...after that we bring him to GP near our home. more convenient and also cheaper.
re: ice cream.... yap ... ate ice cream there...shiok
aiyo!!! -2 deg already so cold ...cant imagine -15 or less!!!!! in earlier part of the year was colder. that's why i waited til end march before i go... if not, 2nd tri (ard 5 mths) is best for travelling.
okasan,
i think if u have a PD in mind, u can tell him lor. if not hospital will allocate one.

tinklebell,
I see...dun like polyclinic coz nurses there are rough..the doctors there also...my mum went for checkup at polyclinic, she ever met one doctor there, very rude...
even if prices at GP is slightly higher than polyclinic, I'll still choose to bring baby to GP for the service loh....unless the price diff is very big then no choice got to go polyclinic...
since prices may be cheaper than polyclinic, then no need to consider liao...GP is the one liao

okasan,
actually i am thinking...PD is more like specialised rite? So their consultation charges are most prob higher than normal GP?
I forgot i ate ice-cream anot...I think i tried....and it was quite fun eating ice-cream out in the cold...*lol*
tinklebell,
GP also administer the injection for bb too? If thats the case I think i will bring to GP instead cos GP's consultation fees are quite okies

okasan, The hospital will give u a health booklet. They will put in the next injection schedule. Usually, the first appointment is with a PD or polyclinic. But not necessary u go to the place wh they write there. After every injection, the next appointment date will be stated in the booklet... some GPs will call u to remind u of the next jab... some dont ... so u need to refer to the booklet for the next date.
celeste, PD also charge consultation on top of the injection package? i'm not too sure on that cos we dont go to PD.

har? circumcise????? errrr .... thought only muslims do that ***shy shy*** errrr ...donno leh
hidora,
btw, on the contraction thingy. I asked my gynae bout my tummy tightening on and off. He told me to monitor. As long as it doesnt last like 5-10mins and comes with tummy pain then its okies. But to be on the safe side he issued me Ventolin and told me to take if i really encountered those long tummy tightening feeling
And he reminded me to do things slowly...haha

okasan,
Yup, if the bb boy's foreskin is too tight which cause him discomfort in anyway, the doc may suggest circumcise. But normally s/he would suggest that the parents do some pulling exercise to the foreskin to stretch it and see if there's a need to circumsize.
celeste,
Tummy tightening on and off ah? I dunno leh.. I'm quite resistant to what's happening on my tummy. Think I must monitor my tummy more then.
