coral,
forgot to answer you earlier.
i've not received the isetan sale mailer yet also.
you mention a few days ago that u're thinking of gg at around 10plus? That time wont have queue outside but inside everything madhouse liao. That's why i rather queue before opening and be the earlier ones to go in.
mango,
No need to buy blender unless u want to grind rice / grains. i used the piyo piyo food maker which has a grater. i use the grater for to mash up apple, sweet potato etc. And i use a slow cooker to cook porridge so the porridge is quite "nuah" already.
And the food maker has a bowl with little studs at the base which i use it to mash the food further when i feed. Pigeoan also sells this type of feeding bowl on it's own.
FEEDING BOWL WITH STUDS AT THE BOTTOM
Just to share with the rest here.
Quite a few have bought the pigeon one. i find this type of bowl useful when feeding. Recently found out that Dasio also sells. Theirs is bigger than pigeon but $2 only. Cheap cheap
PART-TIME MAID VS LIVE-IN MAID
I also resisted the idea of having a stranger in my house. till now i still don't like but bo pian.
i've had a part-time maid ever since we got married. But with 2 kids, cleaning once a week is definitely not enough. There's so much laundry to do. Plus when kids start crawling and playing on the floor, need to mop the floor every day.
