(2006/12) December 2006 MTBs

Ladies,
I hvnt read posts today. I just want to share that I'm very very upset.
sad.gif
I went on the Forum's Marketplace to buy a Glenn Doman Math set. This seller emailed me that she have the full set with black dots, numbers and symbols cards on top of the red dot cards. In the end, I checked and discovered that it was only red dot cards! It's not the complete set! I didnt chec on the spot as I was carrying my bb.
I told her i wish to return the set to her and get my money back but now she's ignoring me!
sad.gif
sad.gif
At first I wasn't angry with her, thinking she'll agree to the return of set and money. But she ignore me since last nite sms her till now. So, what can i think now except that I've been cheated??

I am so stupid.

Hi mummies,
I am from Feb 2007 thread. I need some advice from mummies here. I am currently using Avent manual. Wondering if i should get an electric pump. Any recommendations? Is it better to use electric than manual? Please advice as I am hoping I could express bm once I start work.

For working mummies, how do u sterilize your pump at work?
 
Saphira
Actually, Avent manual will be quite silent...I use the Medela mini electric plus and its quite noisy...Electric is just faster, cos can pump both at same time. I have a steriliser in my office. Some mommies here just use hot water to rinse, go home then sterilise. I bring my pumps home once a week for a thorough wash (i have 2 sets of Medela pumps, one office, one home and an Avent Manual standby).
 
bloom,
yes, i pass driving first go...but i hardly drive now, so quite wasted.

snowy,
hv u booked ur tickets? Im not going to bring to many bb stuff cos want to shop there. I will bring 2 flannel blankets as Im staying at apts and cottages, then will bring some long sleeves for bb and layer on the clothes. Diapers will bring some, but can buy there la. Steriliser, i bought a medela steriliser microwaveable bags. It's a new product. So, not need to bring big one, tho i was thinking of bringing my Avent microwave steriliser. :p that's abt it...usual bottles and see wat else depending on whether bb start on solids yet.

this weekend, hb working all day...so im quite lonely.
sad.gif
MIL here to help me look after bb...feels like my 3 mths ML time...
 
bobianah,
take it easy... we do meet bad pple in forum oso... maybe she's really bz n will return ur sms... if not oso bobian liao.... got to treat it as lesson learnt...

saphira,
i'm using avent manual and ameda dual.. both r gd... ameda dual is fast since pump both at same time.. but manual is more effective in emptying the breast..
happy.gif
 
bobianah,
hiyoh. which seller is tt? go spread e word ard n we'll all blackmark her! so mean! it does seem like she cheated u deliberately. u nt stupid lah, just trusting. dun blame urself. dun worry, 2 days wld go by v fast. do u haf msn to chat w e gals? but i guess they won't be online much on a sat..

mbb,
so how was ur 7 hr spa????

choo,
e muscular tan tan one is calynn's hubby!

shihui,
i was v scared 2 draw on e wall too but hubby kept encouraging. he said there's leftover wall paint, if turn out ugly, just paint over lor. e scariest part is e last part when i had 2 outline w a big thick marker. paint until so xin ku liao, cannot make mistake n e outline must b drawn in big continuous strokes or else v ugly. luckily ok.
happy.gif
my hubby just asked me to continue 2 paint e rest o e hse. since he's on 1 wk break, i'll try 2 paint some dustmites. aim 2 finish in a wk! so ambitious!!!
 
Wah the pics all sooooo nice! I wanna ask you ladies if any of you have lobang for diapers and baby wipes? Diapers like drypers or huggies? Nepia too ex for a cheapskate like me...lol
 
shihui, kimi
i thot she bz too...but since last nite till now...i sent her a few sms liao.
sad.gif
yah lor, if really she dun reply, i just learn lesson from it...expensive lesson leh...
i trusted her cos she said she hv complete set and list it all down, thats why i agree to buy. I kick myself for not checking before handing money over lor...
sad.gif

you think i shd call her? how long shd i give her?

kimi, if she really dun respond, i won't hestitate to name her, but i only got her nickname, email and hp number...she live bukit batok area. at least thats what she claim
 
Afcai,
the bb cot i buy can convert into toddler's bed. so it's a good buy. i paid $290 (was given a free set of bedding n mattress). tink Meg may slp in it till she is ard 3 yrs kua.

i hate Fitti diapers. one of the worst for me.

Bobianah,
aiyo! how much was the card? its not cheap rite?
sure heartpain kena cheated lidat.
dun be upset hor. maybe she will return ur call/sms.

Kimi,
7 hrs of spa was good but towards the 5th hour, i wanted to go home to see Meg!!!!
life is really diff after having a bb.

Choo,

Doggiebb,

bobianah,
call her lor. there's still a possibility tt sthg's wrong w e svs provider n she can't rec e sms-es (tho unlikely lah) but call, she shld pick up bah! if she still doesn't pick up then too bad liao lor...
sad.gif


mbb,
so e spa worth e $? yeah man, i'd miss mine too if i'm out 4 so long!

gan,
4got to reply u. u haf picasa? just select pix, clivk collage n select 'picture pile'. it'll do e job 4 u.
happy.gif
 
bobianah,
the vendor should realise that there're chat forums like this and not offend customers unnecessarily. Go ahead and post your experience if she doesn't respond!
The medela microwave steriliser bag sounds like a great idea cuz I give baby one formula feed a day. Where can I buy it and how much is it?
We haven't booked our tickets but will be doing it online this weekend.

I also spent money at the bb fair. Bought some new bottle teats and a baby gym from tiny love. After buying then realised that there're so many different designs.

I've 2 breast pumps, ameda and avent manual. I find both ok but I prefer the avent cuz I feel that it expresses milk more effectively. But i hate washing and sterilising. so much work.
 
Snowy,
Pigeon or avent also have microwave steriliser containers. You intend to bring them on a holiday? Normally on holiday I will just sterilised the bottle by boiling it in hot water. Or bring along sterlisation tablets.
 
Hi Mummies,

happy.gif
 
Very very fed up and PISSED off by my @#$%^& sister during the stay at my mum'plc. she 's so senitive. I only told her a few things tor emind my mum in case she forgotten. for eg, my mum like to be with my gar every moment and she tended to forget she cooked the soup or boiled water. just told my sister to remind her or help out. another eg is told her not to place my gar near the tv cos not gd for her eyesight and the tv radiation also not gd. the third eg is told her not to give my gar pillow, boster etc and place it on her tummy in case my gar kicked and cover herself which is not gd. better to be safe than sorry. she 'yell' via msn to me stating that I everything also need to calculation, also need to follow my instructions etc..., said I better wrote a long list of reminder and paste on the wall. also use the pharse better to be safe than sorry is not approiate and saying me unreasonable. really very pissed. this is not the first time....


also, my gar cried non-stop from 7-740pm (I was pumping milk half way so let my hubby go and attend to her during the feed but in vain, got quarrel with hubby and hubby is so frustrated that he raised his voice and shouted at my gar so I raise my voice too). but when I finished my pump and I carried her and said sayang her, she stopped within 5 mins but still wailing softly. think she dun recongise hubby anymore as experiment show that my hubby feed her thrice today, she cried via screaming type. cos 2-3 nights at my mum'plc, my gar did not see him. she cried non-stop whenever what my hubby did. even hubby smile at her when I cry her, she cry. ai-yo. dunno why why why.....
 
hi ruffy,
thanks for teaching me the picassa thru msn just now. so fun playing it.. still got to try n error. here my 1st pc sharing with u all.

719692.jpg


hi kimi,
yes we can share cab if 3 of us are going. Otherwise, we also can meet at mrt station n go together.

Thank for the contact and will consider as I also not sure which good chinese doc to go to.
 
Hi CF CHang
haa...yr boy 's eyes so bright. u owe a dog? I dun dare to place bb near my sil's chihuachua cos scared my gar will allegic to fur. my gar when smell of perfume and mao mao thing, she will sneeze.


Hi MBB
is it why fitti no gd. gd, it 's kind worth to buy those cot that can convert to toddler bed. wow free bedding and mattress.but hor....what if bb grow liao, bed cannot be used.hubby super kissu, bought a bed that can last 'life time" (haa...then all furniture shop will close like that since no need to buy bed in future for kid).
 
Bloom,
Not everyone pass the 1st time round. Better luck the next time. Btw, think u need to have a good talk with yr hubby, otherwise not healthy for the relationship.

bobianah,
The seller really dishonest leh. Give her a few more days and if she still dont reply that u can email the moderater and blacklist her.

MBB,
7 hr spa??? Wow, shiok hor. I have not went for facial, spa n body massage ever since preggie. Think got to start booking and get my life back :p

CF,
Love the pic of Philson with the commando cap, so cuteee...

Shihui,
Ping Heng angry with something?

Gan,
Hayley is so cute and chubby, feel like pinching her cheek
happy.gif


afcai,
Dont take the matter at heart, dont think yr sis understand how a mummy feel till she is one herself.
 
afcai, jackie,
my sis took the pic with her hp.. dunnoe wat she did with him.. she claimed tt it's an accidental shoot... :p

afcai,
bb at the stage of recognising pple liao.. tt's y she seems like she dun rem her papa... now i wondering how pin heng will react when his papa back.. :p

today very cute.. my sis was taking photo with him.. den she mishandled him n he wail loudly till face red red.. i quickly carry him back.. den aft tt, whenever he sees my sis, he frown n turn away.. very funny.. :p
 
Hi Shihui,
wow, u can man...bought bb to jab and yet to shopping after that. I dun dare to do that cos scared she kana fever. will be taking her to polyclinic jab next mon and will kept her at home for that wk.

haa..maybe, yr boy 's expression tell yr sis not to anyhow take her handsome face.

yup, my hubby so
sad.gif
cos ah gar not close to her now. haa...now I know why mummies are so 'wei da'. mummies are so close to their kids. my gar also 'sticky' to me.

now, waiting to delay 1 more hr to pump milk cos need to re-adjust my pumping timing so that I can advoid 12 noon pumping on mon as I needed to go polyclinic.
 
Hi Jackie,
thanks for the console. really pissed off. just tell her to remind my mum if she happened to see those eg I mentioned (there are more). anyway, it 's a long generation gap lah betw me and my sis. my sister younger than me by 10 yrs. she SUPER stubbon like bull.

also she want to borrow $$ fr me too for her tour. now, she dangling in the air, dunno want to study or work. she has been doing part time for at least 2 yr at NTUC(she studies retail management for 1 yr at NTUC which NTUC sponser her studies) liao. hai...dunno why work part for what....
 
hi kimi, gan,
will definitely be going for the gathering since it's my sch hols. won't miss going on that day. and this time, will definitely bring bb nat.

gan,
hayley has grown chubbier since the last time i saw her. like jackie said, she makes me wanna pinch her cheeks! so cuuuute!
happy.gif


bobianah,
that seller really no good leh. if you've smsed for a whole day and she still hasn't replied, better call her with an unknown number. see whether she pick up or not.

bloom,
what happened b/w you and hb? hope everything's better... actually i was angry with hb just now too... shan't tell my little story here. but if you do wish to vent frustrations, we are here to lend our listening ears. take care!

mbb,
shiok shiok? your 7 hrs spa? you've spent so much time with meg, so it is no wonder that when you go away for such long hours you miss her. but must get use to it coz you going back to work soon right?

afcai,
i think sometimes ji ren li xia will encounter this... last time i had to get my brothers to help with taking care of my son. so once in a while i get the 'chow bin' look... can't do anything but to tolerate...

cf chang,
your bb philson really very handsome leh. aiyoh! i think i a bit the smitten also leh... keep looking at his pic. i love the last one. the one where he's sucking his finger. so endearing!

shihui,
hahaha. pin heng really very expressive! although the pic shows him frowning, i still find him so cute!

ladies,
a lot of you like miss bb very much right? then i must be one detached and lousy mum... the whole of today i didn't see my kids... angry with hb and got no mood to take them back tonight... so they are at my mum's...
 
Hi alabone,
I did not ask much for my sister, just want her to remind my mum in case she forgot. she just give me that kind of attitude.
 
hi afcai,
i see... then perhaps you can adopt her idea of pasting notes for your mum instead of asking her to remind your mum... why is your sis reluctant to help?
 
Hi alabone,
she just could not be bothered. too lazy, not independent..etc...hai...hopeless man...work still need to ask mum for $$. my mum not working now bec she is gg to look after my gar.

old folks are like that one, tell them a few times (maybe paste notes dun help too) they also like to do their way.

now, my gar 's feeding and slp time fixed liao, more stable and when back to my mum'plc, all mixed up . arrr......all training gone down the drain. crying....

luckily, when back to my plc y'day night, my gar did not get up for nite feed cos she slp at 10+ after crying (dunno why bb like to cry before slp, can't they just closed eyes and slp).
 
Should I try to stop bb from suckling thumb?
http://www.babycenter.com/expert/baby/babydevelopment/6817.html

Why it happens
Toddlers suck their thumbs because it's comforting and calming. Your toddler probably practiced this habit while he was still in the womb and perfected it as an infant. Now he may turn to his thumb when he's tired, scared, bored, sick, or trying to adjust to challenges such as starting preschool or going on a long car ride. He may also use his thumb to fall asleep at bedtime and to lull himself back to sleep when he wakes up in the middle of the night.

Shaken baby syndrome
http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/baby/babychildcare/1501729.html


If you're breastfeeding, continue as long as you can, as breast milk changes the pH of your baby's urine and stool, making it less likely that they'll cause diaper rash.
 
Hi Vanessa Lu,
even ebm fridge also got strong smell when I used the gg to expire ebm to bath. can't stand it man... but fresh milk ok, dun have strong smell.

Hi mummies
with regard to the qns for jab, do u still need to give bb the med after the jab to prevent fever?
 
bloom,
r u feeling better? will ur hubby be open to counselling?

bobianah,
oh dear, i hope the seller is away due to june hols n will reply to u soon. if she doesn't, that's really dishonest. think u should inform chin leng abt this so that she can be banned.

chang,
philson so handsome! he's charming a lot of mummies here, myself included.
happy.gif


shihui,
pin heng never fails to make me laugh with his expressions.

gan,

Ya lor, my boi also. Just bot him Fischer Price rocker n he refuse to sit in it for long. He keep leaning forward n go "ehh ehh ehh". V funny. Sometimes when I try to put him in the chair he will stiffen his legs so tat I can't put him in the chair at all. So small so naughty liao.

Mummies
Can I ask wat if ur baby got cradle cap. I suppose it will go away on its own when bb is older but can apply anything to make it go away faster? My boi keep scratching his head n I dunno if it is bcos the cradle cap is itchy leh?

Also wanna ask...anybody can recommend good brand of cot mobile to buy n also let me know where you bot it from. Thks hoh.
 
Hi hi! It's now 5:30am here, and I just finished pumping and feeding Regina. Sometimes at night, I'll wake her up to drink milk so that she will stop sucking her fingers until red red.... Sigh, between sucking fingers and letting her sleeping through the night or waking her up to feed, dunno which is better.

Chang,
Philson is so adorable! Handsome boy!

MBB,
My hb also say Meg very pretty... heehee.

Doggiebb,
Do you have a webcam and skype account? If yes, then Regina and I can join in the BATHTUB gathering in virtual mode.... hah hah hah.
 
LiL,
my boi got cradle cap too.. i apply olive oil 1/2 hr b4 bathe time to soften it... aft a few days, the cradle cap will soften n can use hair brush to brush off... but it will still grow back..
sad.gif
 
Kimi,
Haha, u same as me leh, I'm also allow Reyna to suck her hands or fingers. I find it very cute leh. I'm not against pacifier, but she doesn't take it....anyway, I also haven't try to give her any pacifier since she started to taste her hands.

Sylk,
I think sleep is more impt lah.... just let her sleep thru lor....
 
mbb,
will go download picasa asap when i'm home... it looks so fun..
happy.gif


vanessa,
