shihui,
the nappies n clothes meant for my mum's place r still kept in my drawers, waiting for their turn to be washed. i tried folding the nappies over the weekend, n found that i cannot close the drawers after that. :p my drawers all bursting liao, no space for the comforter n bumpers. i was thinking of using the comforter to cover the cot, since comforters r unlikely to be used in the newborn stage. :p

cf,
u r a tutor? what subject do u tutor? think kimi's hubby is a teacher right?
 
vanessa,
isit better to use cloth diaper for the day ar? actually elderly say cloth diaper more "tong feng" but then is I lazy to wash lar. also dun wish my mom to tired out lor. But hor my colick is sooooo kind to pass me 2 boxes of unused liners wor..
 
shihui

yeah lor! i've got loads of leave to clear, so taking 4 weeks before EDD and then start 12 weeks maternity leave. yeah yeah! home alone would be a bit harder lah, but with hubby at home, shouldn't be so bad!
happy.gif
 
dey, chang

happy.gif

happy.gif
 
kimi
i just put a thermometer on top of the mattress at nite when A/C is on lor. Any room thermometer will do. I used the one i bot at the philips carnival. It's a digital display thermometer.
 
jen

yeah lor! i thought i better clear all my leave this year, then next year i will get another 24 days and i am sure my boss is going to frown if i go on a long holiday again next year.

CF CHANG

yeah! i've got a white fluffy maltese. we have started to read up on how to assimilate the doggie with the baby. like the first day at the hospital, hubby is going to bring back a soiled diaper or maybe bb clothes for doggie to sniff sniff. then when bb comes home, whenever bb is around doggie, we will give doggie treats so doggie will associate good things with baby. think my doggie should be fine, she loves babies and toddlers.
happy.gif
 
shihui,
only 1 pack of nappies at mil enough ah? i put 3 packs at my mum's place, 2.5 of plain white ones n some aussino coloured ones meant for burping n as light blankets. quite worried that it will rain a lot in dec, n nappies cannot dry well.

ok, got to go n supervise the maid in preparing lunch. will drop by later in the afternoon.
 
och

happy.gif
den i bought another winnie the pooh bedding set at seiyu with the same items for $90 over.. heartpain.. but i can't tahan the temptation at tt moment... hee~ :p

haven't been to Aussino to see leh.. but their price quite ex leh.. maybe can check if they hav any sales coming up? else can try kiddy palace.. they hav a range of bedding sets there too.. not sure of the price though...
happy.gif


Chang,
wah.. ur hubby very cute leh.. can't imagine he wants to let bb sleep on the plastic covering.. :p nvm.. treat it as a joke can liao.. :p
 
Bobianah,
you got two cots at home??
your hse must be spacious.
i haven set up the playpen, awredy like no place in the room leh.
now worried tat when my folks are here, the hse got no space to walk....haiz.

Shihui,
yeah, since we have to buy everything double set, one of it should be of cheaper version otherwise very very siong.

Doggiebb,
you goodlah. got dog and hubby to keep you company.
i only have fishes in the pond
sad.gif

somemore tonite hubby got golf and tis sat D&D.
i am getting mang staying at home leh
sad.gif
 
CF,
I cldn't agree more! I used to teach in a sec sch as a contract tchr. It's so horrible tt I quickly quit b4 joining NIE. Gd choice... I's so disappointed in e edu system. but depends on sch oso lah... e sch i taught in really gave me nightmares!

my hubby's a JC lecturer. I've a couple o frens who r pri sch tchrs.... then i used to teach at pre-sch too... so i told my hubby we got all levels covered! next time lotsa resources... heh heh...
 
och,
i already hav 2 packets.. since bb will be using nappy in the day onli, i can bring over mine to in laws place lor.. den reserve a few pieces at home can liao since i will be using diapers at night...

hmmm.. but come to think of it, better to buy 2 packets.. more flexible.. can reserve some as blankets etc... shall go nappy shopping this weekend.. heee~
happy.gif


oh ya.. pigeon got warehouse sales rite? nappy inclusive? when is it huh? dunnoe the price will be comparable to the discounted tollyjoy nappy in kiddy palace anot.... :p
 
the sad thing is got money also cannot put child in Intl school.
my SIL is teaching in an Intl school and it's so much less stressful.

i would rather stress my wallet.
 
Kimi,
I salute your husband for being a teacher lor..being a teacher is not an easy task..I worked as a relief teacher in a sec school before while waiting for my A levels result..and GOSH! It was a nightmare..after that, i swore never to be a teacher!
 
kimi
lucky u quit b4 joining.....afew of my fren quit immediately once their bond is up.....they oso cant stand it ;p

heehee....we are all kaisu mummy....i still thk of home schooling 4 my bb if the system is really dat bad
 
MBB,

but i worry tt my kid wld not be able to assimilate bk into local society after attending int'l sch lor. like tt, won't she haf a hard time... in e end, might wanna migrate outta s'pore...

me n hubby wld b reluctant to spend so much oso.. heh heh...
 
Kimi,
should be ok kua coz it's not boarding school.
but since it's out of the question, will juz make do with local school lah.

most of my colik in HK put their child in Intl school and i really like the way the child conduct themselves.
 
dey
haha! same same! I did relief teaching in a sec sch after A levels n swore never to be a teacher after that! =P

och,
i a bit KS la...wanted to take temp of cot area in case too cold. plus we sleep with both fan (my leh chay hb lor) and aircon, so put up cot bumper too to block fan. Can put piece of paper on the mattress. if it doesn't fly, means the fan dun blow there directly. heehee! =P

MBB
my home not spacious lah...compared to qianhui's! =P we hv 3bdrm + one study, but now only 2bdrm + 1 study. my master bedroom is joined with another room, hence it is bigger and can put cot. Then I hv one spare room for bb, so 2 cots lor. both hand me downs anyway. When MIL take care of bb at her home, i can move one cot there for bb to sleep in during the day. =P
 
Kimi & Chang,
next time must really ask you guys for advice coz i know nuts abt the school system here.
 
dey,CF,

JC teaching is nt tt bad lah. Sec's e worst. my students dun greet at all, some just say 'Yo!' n they treat u like a maid. Was teaching this sec 3 normal acad class o 43 students (!!!!) n most o them r taller than me. then some can just stand up n spew vulgarities at u... somewhere else, 2 guys r fighting.... girls haf legs on their table... then one guy shouted "tchr, u going to cry ar?" v rudely... principal passed by, blamed me only...

i dun blame e students so much but e mngt o e sch sux! principal dun care bt discipline. u turn to mngt 4 help, they'll turn ard n siad u're a bad tchr. principal said parents n students are our clients n we muct please them. can u imagine? then all they tink o is attracting students w better results.... like commercial biz like tt...

plus, some o e ways e tchrs punish students.... can faint....studid MOE initiatives n grading o tchrs n sch made everybody sooooo competitive. i've nv met such bad office politics b4 teaching at tt sch...

i can go on n on....
 
Bobianah,
I am highly traumatised by the 2 weeks in that school..some boys even stalked me back to my house..luckily i caught them and quickly sent them home..bear in mind, they are only 13 years old lor..I can't imagine next time if my boy behave like this too.. i wld faint...
 
Bobianah,
yeah, Qian Hui's place is really huge. still cant believe tat it's a 4rm.

the new flats really useless. still have to have bomb shelter which is a waste of space!

Chang,
is it possible to home school in Sg?
 
so hor.... my hubby oso want me to be SAHM, at least until our kid/s is sec sch level, then i'll find a part time job but still monitor. if we've fostered a gd bond, it'll b good for a teen to still haf mummy to talk to when she's in trouble. teenage yrs r tumultous yrs i tink.... *shudder*
 
kimi, bobianah, dey,
wah.. ur teaching experience sounds scary.. i nearly become contract teacher aft i grad leh.. heng found another job aft i signed contract with MOE.. :p so quit immediately without having to teach.. heee~ :p

MBB,
u so fast think of schooling issue liao ah.. me haven't leh.. :p juz wondering which is better for kids.. go normal neighbourhood pri sch or those gd gd sch... :p
 
Shihui,
coz most of my sg frens are in tis cat lor.
so i somehow am worried looking at them going crazy trying to plan for their child's education.

go to gd gd school like very diff leh.
some of them even pretend to be catholic juz to put child in those schools.
it's so wrong...
 
kimi
yah....jc shld b ok......& i agreed dat sec sch is really terrible esp those neighbourhood school.....nwadays primary school oso terrible....dat's y tel my hubby we must go 2 those "branded" school 2 do yi gong liao ;p

MBB
yup.....there are parents who ve home schooling 4 their kids but must apply 2 MOE 1st......not all cases will b accepted.

heehee...i luv small area so dat no need 2 do much hsework....mine oso 4 rm....but it's oni 85sq m.....i thk it is the smallest 4 rm flat in s'pore
 
Chang,
got such small flat meh?
if have to do hsework then i prefer smaller apartment
happy.gif

like in HK, i opt for a studio coz lesser floor space to clean.
my frens all tink i am stupid.

so far my place still acceptable lah but was tinking in future, with more kid, a maid and my folks....cannot lor.
 
dey,
wah kena stalked! I oso quite unfortunate...they give us relief teachers all the normal classes to teach (at neighbourhood sch). Teach them Literature, they dun understand. Teach them english, they ask me "'cher, this sentence wrong meh?". Teach moral ed, even worse! some of the boys, liu2 ban1 until just 2 yrs younger than me. Altho they are not mean to me, but dun do homework, talk in class, play truant. Wah, very discouraging...
sad.gif
one time i oso pek chek until cry.

kimi,
u r rite, sec sch is the worst to teach. JC not as bad cos they r motivated to go Uni by then, so more hardworking.

MBB, Chang
send to branded sch oso very difficult...very competitive...sigh..
 
morning ladies....

sneak in for a while b4 i have to go grind the millstone again.... *sigh*.... envy envy mummies who r resting at home liao... got 3 more weeks to go b4 my leave!!

wah... u mummies ah... talking about school already ah? me havent even got pass the birth stage yet leh!!! ha ha... next you'll be planning yr kid's wedding liao leh!!!

i'll never be a teacher lah... coz i remember how i tortured them whilst i was in school... dun want to get retribution!!! ha ha...

chang,
huh? 4 room 85sqm only? sure not?
 
Chang
wah ur flat size is small..

MBB,
new flats really smaller and smaller ah! Almost shrink till like condo size liao. if next time hv 2 kids, both must learn to share room, even if one boy one girl! But when they grow up, think we'll hv to give up our study room to convert to bedroom...anyway, still long time la.
happy.gif
 
Calynn,
ya lor, me oso made my tchr cry last time. tt's i hesitated 4 2 yrs b4 trying teaching. really kena retribution lor!

chang,
hmmm.... really nv heard o such small 4rm flat b4 leh...which yr one?

shihui, mbb, chang,
me n hubby feel primary sch can just go neighbourhood sch lah. we already aim e one just next to our block. so young, won't want her to travel too far... told hubby i can just stand at e corridor o our flat, hold a binoculars n can monitor her every movt liao! hiak hiak hiak! but o cos i'm nt so bo liao lah..

sec sch is e time when they'll b subjected to more peer pressure i guess... so sec sch then choose better one lor! but by then, we'll give our kid some choice in where she wants to go oso... hopefully she got gu3 qi4 n will work hard 4 a better sch lor!
 
MBB, asking if any of you time your BH contractions and how frequent. I seem to have more frequent contractions with the backache and crampy feelings. Also having nausea and constipation so dunno if signs of preterm labour.
 
kimi
i thk home schooling still considered part of the 10 yr education cos still must take psle wif those kids in school......

MBB, bobianah, calynn
yah...i thk the whole cck only ve 2 blks like mine
happy.gif
my fren staying next blk 2 mine is 5 rm & it oni cost 60k more than ours.
hee....not oni our hse is small.....we still ve 3 medium size dogs. then in less than a mth.....my bb going 2 join us in our flat liao ;p
 
Thank you everyone
happy.gif

Ya thank God the pain subsided, cannot imagine going for Op for appendict during this stage of pregnancy.

I saw Qianhui at my office food court here, she is not feeling well too. Not sure if she has taken MC.
 
Chang,
ya lor. man simply think everything are as simple as they thought lor. ehehhe

Ohhh my coy cater buffet for us during lunch as we hit sales volumne target. alamak.. ate until super full until now got burp feeling coming up from throat leh.. i scare drink water wait will vomit out.
 
Aiyo, so many posting and so many questions throw to me, but the time I finish reading, I dunno what questions and who throw the question liao.

Ladies,
Yes, do call me if u need help on BF, but my appologies if I can't attend to u for too long or even for short while due to child caring. Else u can always call the BMSG hotline for help or email them, who knows u will just get my reply from there? =P

Jen,
I always think it's a better idea to wear nappy. Even now my mum told me to let no,2 wear pampers so that there's enough for no.3 I also reluctant, cos I feel nappy is cooler and more comfortable....pad makes me uncomfortable and hot, so I feel that pampers too have the same feeling.....

Kimi,
I think u better fast fast check with either ur gynae or GP, it's really not a good sign...
 


QSG,
no. i dun time my BH as it juz comes and go. not very frequent.
have you been timing yourself?
since you hv a few things going on at the same time, i tink you should time it.

then when you call your gynea it's easier.

dun worried too much. maybe juz tired?
