doggiebb, ehheeh ok... understand liao!
Jen, I guess pros and cons loh re starting your own biz or working for others. And I think alot of sign on guys are more daring to 'strike out' on their own. It need not be business where he have to be around all the time, but more of lao-ban kind. Eg, a 'retired' army friend of mine started one of those night schools with some partners. He just need to manage from afar.
MBB, your hubby good. My hubby will get angry even when I deliberately block his view of the TV when he is having dinner in front the TV, let alone switching it off.
Shihui, if your parents and in laws already have the basic stuff then good loh, else things like toys etc also have to buy more. Hahaha..you are the reverse of my hubby, he called my bb boy-boy sometimes when its confirmed that she's a gal.
Vanessa, baking business ok lah, cos when guys think business, they usually think big so the risk is greater (the rewards too!) Anyway if you are baking for those special occasion (eg, CNY), that month's income is big enough to put a big smile on your face for months liao.
Jackie, so when is her operation? A short and simple one?
If I think my hubby can make it, I will support him to do business loh. But he is not the ambitious so though he might have the idea, he might not strive hard enough to make it loh. So forget it lah.
doremi, I also always ask my hubby to change job, cos I think he is smart in his field and got the experience but his current company is underpaying him. But he is too lazy to write resume. Sigh!
doremi, oh no! You are kidding me! Anyway I think the 'obesity' talk also sell things one lah. This is so bad. If I were you, I will tell her nicely 'sorry but I am not fat, I am just pregnant'.
och, your maid!!!! grrrrrrrrrlllll
LiL, I guess eat everything (including coconut) in moderation loh. But alot of people carry it too far. My colleague was making noise when I want to eat dessert with coconut milk!
Wahhh..Vanessa so good to your boss. My managers all very stingy and greedy. No good plus always ask us for free food. And to think they earn so much more...
Jen, you might want to consider chaning from Annum to Enfamama cos Enfamama lower fat content (according to the tin can). I drink one cup everyday also didn't put on much weight.
Qianhui, you keep using the word 'play' make me imagine we use sushi and play mahjong hahahaaha
och, please leave me out for the coconut. Me still a long way from week 34 lah.

doremi,

Hi Calynn, och, MBB, Vanessa, doggiebb, Jen and conniemummy!
Ok, I've noted your orders. Don't worry about payment for now, money is not a problem. Scarly cannot find anything suitable or not enough luggage space to bring home... hah hah. I'll be back in mid Oct, so if shopping is successful, we will settle when we meet on 20 Oct.
Shihui, Qianhui, bobianah....
Whether HDB or condo is better, honestly, I think it depends on your luck and prefered lifestyle. Although you pay maintenance fees for condo (vs conservancy for HDB), in return, there is better security, free parking and facilities. If lucky, you get friendly and helpful neighbours... which I find makes a lot of difference.

if no space in suitcase then forget the shopping list hor. bb clothes seem small but also take up space. u should shop for your bb more.
Serene,
i am also a mafan preggy.
first trimester merlion 24/7, then cannot eat (everyday can stomach only 2 spoonful of rice, see tv programme tat intro food, also can feel sick), followed by cramp on my lower left breast, horrible backache and now swollen feet.
but overall, having piggy legs is still better then merlion. dun feel low. it's going to be over soon. and when we see our bb, we will not remember our last 9 mths ordeal

GOODA MORNING!!!! IT'S FRIDAY!!!
Yesterday brought my no.1 to CC to try out the Ballet dance, but she didn't manage to try, cos the instructor rejected her immediately before the class start giving the reason that she's too young.... aiyo, at that point of time my heart feels for her.... cos she was so eager and looking forward to the class but then she was rejected, can see that she's very disappointed and sad.... nvr mind, I managed to found her a dance studio which are able to accept her, but slightly more expensive than CC, tonite going to find out more info, hopefully she's able to enrol this time round.
MBB,

Cheer u ladies up a bit, read this, quite cute (but sorry a bit long):
Being a parent changes everything. But being a parent also changes with each baby. Here are some of the ways having a second and third child is different from having your first.
Your Clothes
1st baby: You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as your OB/GYN confirms your pregnancy.
2nd baby: You wear your regular clothes for as long as possible.
3rd baby: Your maternity clothes ARE your regular clothes.
---------------
Preparing for the Birth
1st baby: You practice your breathing religiously.
2nd baby: You don't bother practicing because you remember that last time, breathing didn't do a thing.
3rd baby: You ask for an epidural in your 8th month.
---------------
The Layette
1st baby: You pre-wash your newborn's clothes, color-coordinate them, and fold them neatly in the baby's little bureau.
2nd baby: You check to make sure that the clothes are clean and discard only the ones with the darkest stains.
3rd baby: Boys can wear pink, can't they?
---------------
Worries
1st baby: At the first sign of distress - a whimper, a frown-you pick up the baby.
2nd baby: You pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake your firstborn.
3rd baby: You teach your 3-year-old how to rewind the mechanical swing.
---------------
Pacifier
1st baby: If the pacifier falls on the floor, you put it away until you can go home and wash and boil it.
2nd baby: When the pacifier falls on the floor, you squirt it off with some juice from the baby's bottle.
3rd baby: You wipe it off on your shirt and pop it back in.
---------------
Diapering
1st baby: You change your baby's diapers every hour, whether they need it or not.
2nd baby: You change their diaper every 2 to 3 hours, if needed.
3rd baby: You try to change their diaper before others start to complain about the smell or you see it sagging to their knees.
---------------
Activities
1st baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics, BabySwing, and Baby Story Hour.
2nd baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics.
3rd baby: You take your infant to the supermarket and the dry cleaner.
---------------
Going Out
1st baby: The first time you leave your baby with a sitter, you call home 5 times.
2nd baby: Just before you walk out the door, you remember to leave a number where you can be reached.
3rd baby: You leave instructions for the sitter to call only if she sees blood.
---------------
At Home
1st baby: You spend a good bit of every day just gazing at the baby.
2nd baby: You spend a bit of everyday watching to be sure your older child isn't squeezing, poking, or hitting the baby.
3rd baby: You spend a little bit of every day hiding from the children.
---------------
Swallowing Coins
1st child: when first child swallows a coin, you rush the child to the hospital and demand x-rays.
2nd child: when 2nd child swallows a coin, you carefully watch for coin to pass.
3rd child: when 3rd child swallows a coin you deduct it from his allowance!!

2nd baby: You don't bother practicing because you remember that last time, breathing didn't do a thing.
3rd baby: You ask for an epidural in your 8th month.
---------------
The Layette
1st baby: You pre-wash your newborn's clothes, color-coordinate them, and fold them neatly in the baby's little bureau.
2nd baby: You check to make sure that the clothes are clean and discard only the ones with the darkest stains.
3rd baby: Boys can wear pink, can't they?
---------------
Worries
1st baby: At the first sign of distress - a whimper, a frown-you pick up the baby.
2nd baby: You pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake your firstborn.
3rd baby: You teach your 3-year-old how to rewind the mechanical swing.
---------------
Pacifier
1st baby: If the pacifier falls on the floor, you put it away until you can go home and wash and boil it.
2nd baby: When the pacifier falls on the floor, you squirt it off with some juice from the baby's bottle.
3rd baby: You wipe it off on your shirt and pop it back in.
---------------
Diapering
1st baby: You change your baby's diapers every hour, whether they need it or not.
2nd baby: You change their diaper every 2 to 3 hours, if needed.
3rd baby: You try to change their diaper before others start to complain about the smell or you see it sagging to their knees.
---------------
Activities
1st baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics, BabySwing, and Baby Story Hour.
2nd baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics.
3rd baby: You take your infant to the supermarket and the dry cleaner.
---------------
Going Out
1st baby: The first time you leave your baby with a sitter, you call home 5 times.
2nd baby: Just before you walk out the door, you remember to leave a number where you can be reached.
3rd baby: You leave instructions for the sitter to call only if she sees blood.
---------------
At Home
1st baby: You spend a good bit of every day just gazing at the baby.
2nd baby: You spend a bit of everyday watching to be sure your older child isn't squeezing, poking, or hitting the baby.
3rd baby: You spend a little bit of every day hiding from the children.
---------------
Swallowing Coins
1st child: when first child swallows a coin, you rush the child to the hospital and demand x-rays.
2nd child: when 2nd child swallows a coin, you carefully watch for coin to pass.
3rd child: when 3rd child swallows a coin you deduct it from his allowance!!

it may be a blessing in disguise tt the teacher dun accept leh? for ballet class, better to go to ballet sch.. my mom was a dancer (for interest onli) when she's young.. she said gd teacher is very impt for ballet.. if learn the wrong technique, it will result in leg deformities one.. as in the calf muscle will not develop normally lor... but if got gd teacher to teach the right things, den it will be really gd..
my mom think too much liao until she dun dare enrol us in ballet classes.. heee~ btw, u may want to check with the sch on the ideal age to start ballet training.. else, maybe there may be dance classes ard for younger kids who has interest in dancing..
may not really need to start with traditional ballet training first if the age is really not suitable lor..

*pat pat the safety pin between the second and third buttons* THANK GOD for safety pins!
yeah lor, it's strange that i can fall asleep with the music playing but when i wake up in the middle of the night, i seemed to have difficulty to go back to sleep with the music on. maybe over the weekend, when i know i don't have to wake up so early, i will try to see if i can fall back asleep with the music on. Everyone's been raving about the mozart effect!
