Is the food FOC and do we have to pay like swimming etc
Never been to cruise and would like to bring R in Sep06 when she is one yr old.cruise is a gd idea cos do not have to take flight. Same like u, like yr end baby but they decided to come out early.
Bbgrace,
The infantcare got another subsidy from my company, if I resign I need to pay $450 p/m. if I still wk here, only $180 p/m.
Dun think will hire a maid, try first.
Second time round will hire CL for two mths. After giving birth must really pu cos stop factory already, if not bu properly, not able to bu back in future. Also will engage massage cos I did not have any massage after giving birth to R.

what is the diff from normal perm? why is it difficult to maintain? i tried normal perm many years back, when i dont bother to maintain i looked at siao cha bo. also, i realized it will cause hair drop. will digital perm cause hair drop? me cant afford hairdrop man and if what pp say abt 4mth hair will start falling, laggy cham.
crystallized
not only the pain of spending $$$, it is also the pain of can't fit or wear already not nice during fitting b'cos of XL size!
wei kuan
i rather like u, gain back pre-preggie size, so is easy to buy clothes.

Not sure if PIS helps, but I have been pumping every 3 hrs last week, now back to my normal 4 times a day
Anyway, I've been very stressed last 2 weeks.
$50 one is not FTG1200 (FTG1200 is $45). I just went to get FTG1200 during lunch cos this is the only one that can last 10 to 12 hrs and can carry 6 bottles, plus the sides all have ice packs.
No wonder lah, so ex for the passport!
Wei Kuan,
Yep, you are right to think that way, must have some "buffer" time.
Food at selected food outlets are FOC. For some restuarant, you need to pay. If you opt for balcony class, you will have $100 credit to dine in the restuarants. Most stuff are FOC, except for spa.
Jo,
A lot of places are selling ah. Clinics, Polyclinics, watson, guardian etc... all got sell.
I'm not sure if is ok leh.
babygrace,
Maybe after your 1st cruise, you won't want to go again kekeke... some ppl find cruise very boring. I went twice, 1st time ok, 2nd time damn sian.
Basically the rooms are q small. Even for balcony class level. There's a queen size bed, and if you open up the sofabed, practically there's no space to walk liao.
You can bath E at the sink. I think can request for bath tub, but is q small.
coolcoolmum,
My hair is starting to drop liao leh, very sian, floor always got traces of hair.
Selina,
Just bought FTG1200. Only left black and brown,so I took black. I saw from website it states only left white color. Weird.
BTW, freeze it in freezer overnite, then when I reach office, to maintain its coldness, I can put in fridge right? Not necessary freezer part right?

gemini,
huggies dry comfort and huggies dry (these 2 NTUC is selling) are the same, not much difference. But if you are talking about Huggies Ultra Dry Comfort, then this one is super good and ex!

Selina,
You wanna try for another bb? If so, then you can consider gettig PIS Advanced. I'm not sure if it does help me to "produce" more milk lah. But one thing definately I'm sure is, to get the same amt I yield from Ameda hor, it takes 3x the timing. For Ameda, 5 to 10 mins, I can get 120ml, for PIS Advanced, I need 30 mins
But I think for those who intend to have No. 2, No.3, it is worth getting one.

I almost forgot, you using Ameda right? Then no need to buy PIS lah. Frankly speaking, I still prefer my "Ex-Ameda" pump
I won't want to sell it if not for my hb's naggings
iceystarz,
Try to destress yourself and see how? I have been telling myself to "destress destress". It works. You know that time I too stressed up that I pumped for 10 mins and not a single drop of bm!!

62cm at 2mths? really quite tall. caleb only 62cm at 3mths. die gonna be a ai dong kua liao.
jo,
$1 a day? siao. he can survive on $1 a day himself if he dun work? then he has to pay for everything else even your EZ Link card cos $1 definitely not enf to take bus or MRT.
Milk

realised caleb doesnt cry for milk. he only cries for sleep. strange hor. so now we try to time his feeding to his sleeping time cos easier to feed him while he half asleep.

digi perm is they will curl your hair using some apparatus which hangs each bunch of your hair upwards to a machine. so u will look like kana electricuted with your hair standing. like ceramic perm lah just another way of perming. i tried both. to me the final results is the same. perm will have to maintain. for ceramic & digi, slightly easier, just need to be like siao cha bo twirl your hair after every wash. u will literally look like siao cha bo with that action. imagine someone kept twirling her hair, like mad lor.

No lah, me no role model lah. there are some good days and some bad days. on good days, i feel that my efforts are worth it. on bad days, i wish i was still working.
Any possibility of you taking no pay leave instead of quitting? The reason i asked is that at least when i was on npl, i still had my bonus, though it was pro-rated, it was better than nothing.
Good to start doing some financial planning if you really want to stay at home. Cost of bringing up children is so high these days.
Try paying the credit card bill on time, the interest cost is v high, no point wasting money on that.
i'm surviving on my savings now. at least for the past 2 yrs, i was at home for 6 mths, work 6 mths, and at home for 6 mths again. Plus bonuses and all, it's still manageable. Plus i've got no housing or car loans to pay for now, except for insurance and money for my parents. When my new place is here and after my CPF has no more money to service the loan, then it's time for me to work again. haha!
jenny,
will ask my parents if they are keen to go on the cruise. more people more fun, otherwise, i also think it'll be boring.
mango,
my boy was 20 mths when #2 came along. Just like jenny's. i would have managed if i didn't have a maid cos my boy is very active. if you have some help from parents or in laws, it's manageable. or if you don't mind putting the elder one in childcare for at least half a day.
one of the reason that i'm staying at home now is that my maid can't handle the 2 kids and i don't want to place my boy in childcare yet.

i'm surviving on my savings now. at least for the past 2 yrs, i was at home for 6 mths, work 6 mths, and at home for 6 mths again. Plus bonuses and all, it's still manageable. Plus i've got no housing or car loans to pay for now, except for insurance and money for my parents. When my new place is here and after my CPF has no more money to service the loan, then it's time for me to work again. haha!
jenny,
will ask my parents if they are keen to go on the cruise. more people more fun, otherwise, i also think it'll be boring.
mango,
my boy was 20 mths when #2 came along. Just like jenny's. i would have managed if i didn't have a maid cos my boy is very active. if you have some help from parents or in laws, it's manageable. or if you don't mind putting the elder one in childcare for at least half a day.
one of the reason that i'm staying at home now is that my maid can't handle the 2 kids and i don't want to place my boy in childcare yet.

besides stress, would u say it's the pump or the frequency that helps to increase MS? I do intend to hv #2 so not sure to get a better pump now to help increase MS. if i get the pump now, can still use after 2yrs? u mentioned ameda cost abt $300 right? is it much stronger thatn medela mini E?

i agree with bbgrace that it is better if u can take NPL cos u'll still get all the benefits and bonuses. also, u'll not hv problem of trying to get a job in the future. heard a number of cases who suffered hugh pay-cut after that.

Mango16, that time my Mum took care of my bor and I when we were babies. Our age gap 14mths apart. SHe said manageable. But not sure if lat time and now the same or not.
BBgrace, at least you can go no pay leave not too bad. My savings may last me quite long but then since I need to renovate house next year and hb spending a sum on MBA, and need to go overseas, I think I better work. His rental in Boston quite ex., just a small room already 1k amonth, so I dont think I can bring Char to go with him. Never realise my urge to be SAHM is so strong until I hv Char.
Jenny, glad that your MS has increased. hee hee you so attached to your Ameda. Actually why need to change to PIS. I think if you had continue to pump with Ameda you would hv increase MS too.

Wow, your Mum actually encourage you to go plastic surgery ah? I'm too afraid fo pain to think of that. Jo., if 99percent safestill hv 1 percent chance of accident lor.
