hihi ladies
wow..so many post today..wow now we are talking abt confinement days.. indeed tough but the tough days are over.
RE: playgroup at town4kids
cherish is attending the weekly session.. hopefully she will be fine for the remaining lessons. The structure of lesson is something like this :
- free play with lego/building blocks
- sing songs /music and movement
- introduce theme of the week. short story telling and play toys relating to the theme.
- gym time
- cool down time.. some songs and hug fellow friends and teachers. Line up to collect stickers/stamps.
For their age grp, they do not have multimedia program. I am paying 95 for 4 lessons. It is not v premium or high standard, but i am fine with it.

cherryale,
cherish along has been a shy kid...even now she needs time to warm up and depends on environment. I dunno abt Aston, but cherish will definitely cry when there is loud music or noise in enclosed area. Are the sessions in kindermusik loud? The last trial at mygym, becos of the small enclosed area and music, cherish cried. This time round, the class was much more spacious and the teachers are soft spoken type.. For cherish, it is more of environment.
There was once i went to my friend hse..she also cried. But when we meet the same grp of friends in outdoor area, she was fine.
Lately she is more adventurous and outgoing. I dunno is it a phrase or is it due to me being temp sahm-->hb and me able to spend more time with her--->she more confident? I hope that now i return to work, she will continue to be sociable.
One thing i believe it does make some impact is my hb does a great job in building her confidence. I also noticed that cherish will be affected by our mood. If i am nervous, she will turn to be a scaredy cat. With my hb ard, she is definitely more adventurous and daring.
Oh ya..during the kindermusik class, do u think Aston will behave better if u r the one carrying him? cos when outside or in any unfamilar place, cherish will prefer me to carry. If my mum is ard, she will choose my mum.

catz, kathleen has skanky look lah....walau...i can imagine her in a club doing some strip dancing lor. 
sorry i back track so much okie, but i just saw the msg about u saying that she didn't have a skank ho look. SHE DOES period.
I don't find Jap men very appealing leh...find them too wimpy and sissified looking somehow. Everytime i see the stupid gatsby ad with that takuya kimura guy....i really feel very irksome. He is so gayish even though he is not lor. Korean dramas i only like a few particular ones. Plus I don't like K men with too much plastic on their faces, very off putting somehow. That's why i still only love my Ji Jin Heeeeeee hahahahahahahahaha My hub says Ji Jin Hee also did surgery lah..but i don't care, he looks natural enuff for me.
Ok, i will try to catch Funsong Factory if i can.
I wanna see jiggly boobiesssssssss
Catz...AH HA. I also first time entering TS at Plaza Sing!!!! But I kanna conned mah...I saw them put such a big board that says korean vcd 1 dollar each. I thought i could buy some comedy vcds for my husband mah to improve his crappy korean. WHO KNOWS horrrrrr....it's 1 dollar per disk leh for a whole set of drama. KNS
Jelly, I think AH xi purposely trying to make u pissed off for havving a 2nd baby without consulting her lor. Never mind lah, i teach u a method. Just smack her and tell her u are her boss and she should listen to u. Then she'll wisen up and be a good girl.
Jelly, your hub so sensitive. If YR rejects my hub hor, i think my hub will be super happy lor...he will probably think "good, now my lazy wife will have to handle her". Joking lah....YR is also kinda getting more clingy to me and smacking my husband more and more...so my hub also feels a bit more hurt lah BUT oh well, what to do. Life goes on. The kids will change lah...i hope. hee hee
Regarding working with husband, i think never eat and shit at the same place. but of cos i won't know nothing lah...cos i haven't really worked to begin with.
Garfield, I also getting to think my gynae is ex...but then also can't be helped right...i really like him. He very good looking for an old man and i feel very comfy with him. I mean, if my down there is gonna be seen by a strange man, i rather the man be old, experienced and good looking right?? hahahahahaha
Hey, maybe it's not that zz doesn't have social skills, but maybe he is shy mah....
cherryyyyy, thankx for your comments on YR the rascal. Yes, her face is naturally pinkish. It does however get red when she's under the sun or when she's feeling hot. Eh, i saw your photoshoot pics. I LOVE the ones with u guys in the man u jerseys...very very nice.

hiya... so many pple talking abt confinement. I hinted to my hubby 2 days back that i wanted to get a part-time day confinement lady but he like not very keen leh... actually wat are the duties of confinement lady ah?
I had a bad confinement time with my MIL the last time. She offered her help then but i realised that she was a "qian jin xiao jie" who doesn't know anything about confinement and I was really upset. Cried so much then... haha. Told myself i want to take good care of myself the next time.
Considering confinement catering and get a weekly cleaner to clean the house....
Didn't get preggies the last month... so sad
hope can succeed this month...
milkie.... YR really look like a babe!
smurfy... ryan also got scolded by mrs wong. he was so well behaved after the scolding... haha so funnie...
BTW, there is this talk on breastfeeding by mumsfairy on 1st Aug... the lady is going to tell her experience of breastfeeding solely by pumping cos her daughter was born premature. She produces 1.8l of milk daily till now and enough to feed her 28mth and 9mth and her friend's child also. She doing live demo also. I'll be attending i think....

giggler, maybe u can buy those average quality one, at least you can pu your body during your pregnancy.
chocbabe, dun be discourage, usually such thing will come when you least expected it. For my this pregnancy I also did not plan, just let nature take its course.
ah ger, if you are going travelling in a big group then it's no problem, got many people can help you to carry A, can pass around..hehe.

looks like crying is quite common... i cried at every small thing... even when ryan prick his heel for the jaundice test, i also cried... when my husband went to work, i also cried.
i guess on top of the baby, i had to learn how to live with my MIL, who came to live with us after ryan was born...
i hope the next one will be better, mayb mentally more prepared...

chocbabe, honestly i think to have MIL do confinement is a BIG no no. Cos we are so sensitive after giving birth, and unless your mil is super nice and experienced, they will also have problems coping with a newborn crying all the time. Do get a confinement lady next time. I heard that woman must really bu during confinement to replenish all the blood and the energy we lost after giving birth. So must treat yourself well for #2 ok?
milkie, the jerseys were specially bought for the photoshoot, just the set for A already cost me more than the cost of the photoshoot. Hb was super particular about those pics also, luckily turned out well
the other day u asked me about the rooming arrangement. I havent thot of it yet. My house is so small, 3 bedrooms but hb used 1 of it as study room which is hardly used at all since now we prefer to put our laptops on the dining table. So I am left with 1 baby room which is currently A's room. But he doesnt sleep there at night, he is still sleeping on my bed. My current options are:
1) A continues to sleep on my bed, buy a new cot for #2. Put new cot in my room so that it is easier to feed her at night. Then after my ML ends and I am going back to work, will move the cot to A's room for #2 to sleep alone.
2) Move A to his own room, own cot. Buy new cot for #2 and place in my room so that easier to feed her. Move #2 to A's room (they will share room until I can tear down the study room to convert into another baby room). But will they disturb each other?? I cannot imagine waking up middle of the night to take care of two babies.
how, whats your solution??
stella, it was quite loud but the last time when we attended the class, it was equally loud, and he didnt cry. I think A is also afraid of noisy environment cos if we are at a crowded pool and there are rowdy kids around, he will cry too. Maybe i should go and source for a more quiet environment. I was reading some articles about anxiety and fears cos of A's crying. It says to slowly build up their confidence and let them take their time to get over the fears rather than forcing them. So, will have to keep trying. One factor is definitely hb, cos he doesnt let A warm up at all, straightaway he would want A to do the actions that the other kids are doing. Now that I have spoken to him, he is more aware. Perhaps for the next lesson, I will go in with hb. Thanks for your advice, stella.
btw, i am on mc today
jap men, agree, they all looked humsup men to me. Even korean middleage men looked humsup to me (maybe cos I have a korean colleague who is really very humsup). My fav korean man is Lee byung hun..he is my ideal man
i forced hb to watched his shows at least 10 times with me..hahaha, poor hb

smurfy, i was looking at the registration form from Pats. They have AM and PM half day, 3/4 day AM/PM and Full day. half day AM is 909.5 per mth, PM is 770.40 per mth. There will be $75 govt subsidy. However, the bad part is can only enrol our kids when they turn 2.5yrs old which means Aug 2009. I need A to go to school latest by Apr so I will have to find him a temporary school first, then switch him to Pat. I think most likely i will just send him to pat for longterm, no time and energy to go find others.
I have also signed him up for D'story club in aug. You want to sign QY up for this too? Can go for a trial lesson 32.10 per lesson first to see if u like it.
Later i am going to see another cc - the one that I am going to put him there for 4 to 6 mths. Not the most ideal but need to get him to school when #2 comes out.
milkie, how are u going to cope with YR and TR? who is helping u?

Chocbabe..Yr MIL will be coming to live with u all in new place too?
As for asking MIL to do confinement, I think it's courtesy to ask her first if she willing..if not then get confinement lady..I dont know how true this is..
But anyway, for me, my MIL wasnt too happy when I asked others to help out to cook for me..but she's odd lah..she actually told us to get confinement lady but we couldnt afford one..so that's why I got my church ladies to help cook some dishes daily for me..then later after my confinement over then she complain to my hb we make her look bad by not asking her to do confinement etc..ahh!! I so fed-up with her attitude that time.
But when DILs n MILs live apart relationships seems better.. at least for my relatioship with my MIL since we moved out.
She seems so much nicer now..haha..always cooking us soups..buying Yael things..calling to check up on us..
But dont think I'll push it by asking her to babysit Yael..haha..
Yup still bf..but I think huskie still bf too right?
Im going to start weaning Yael off when he 18mos, he no longers wakes up for nite feeds..a big accomplishment!..but I so into bf cos my weight is kept off cos of bf! Will be quite reluctant to stop haha..
SAHM gathering tomorrow is it? Very far for me leh..haha..I'll see if I can make it..cos I'll be taking the train..so have to leave home around 10am. I'll sms u Catz okie.
Anyone else? Huskie? Nana..u coming?.feeling better?
Chocbabe, Rachel..Totally understand on MIL issue..I had a choice to move out cos we were living with her..but for some of u with the other way round..cant kick her out right? Haha.

SAHM gathering..Think count me out..cos too far lah..i realised its at novena not town..Cab would cost me almost $20..train is a long journey..unless u all dont mind mtg city hall area, PS or orchard..
Otherwise novena is good place for north side mummies to meet..so if all happy go ahead n enjoy yrselves ok.

SAHM gathering: I want to gooooo!!!! But I'm such lousy company of late
Somemore can't eat/drink anything. So depressing to just sit there and watch you girls eat right? Argh... how come all the gatherings I signed up for before I got this stupid MS all cancelled one? Now that I can't go you girls managed to organise one so smoothly... *sulk sulk*
Smurfy, today you're free as a bird already rite? Oh, been meaning to tell you. If you want little QY to engage in some water play, can bring him down to wild wild wet at downtown east. They have a Yippee playground or something designed for small toddlers. Brought Ethan there when he was around 13 months and he loved it. The area for older kids can be fun too if QY is feeling gungho that day.
Babe, went to fidgets on Sunday. Not bad. Prefer it to go go bambini cause the equipment is newer and the space seems bigger
Was suppose to have a nice dinner at picotine afterwards but my stoooooopid MS kicked in again
Really feel like I'm short-changing Ethan - there's so many things I want to do with him before #2 comes along but I'm always feeling too crappy to do it. On Sunday I was mainly watching from the sides too while hubby played with him at fidgets. sad sad. Then I told him on Sat that tomorrow we can go pat ponies at picotine but ended up not going somemore. Feel so guilty...

CHARIS!!!! You want a ride? I could fit you into my car! I'll probably leave home around 1030. Gathering at 1115 right? Don't miss out cos of the distance leh.
garfield, d'story is actually a program by pats which is meant for 18mths upwards. 1.5hr every weekend. They have storytelling, outdoor play, music etc. Think all pats should have it,but i will be going to the one in serangoon since i intend to enrol A there for half day school next time.
called so many CL today. All the good ones taken up, then they referred their friends, my goodness, there is this lady who called me, sounded totally inexperienced, dun even know if she has done confinement before. Her fee is $1900 and she said to give additional $200 for her transport cos when she goes back, her ticket will be very exp cos near CNY. Told her $200 can fly to KL already. She is only in Johor.At most I will give additional $50. These people think we print money.

garfield, I like the song Lion Heart too. Takuya Kimura was my idol last time. I like him when he was in this Japanese Drama 爱情白皮书. He was still innocent looking at that time. Talking about Japanese men, I think only those on TV are handsome, those that you see on the street in Japan are really normal looking.
Charis, it's not just that I can't eat but I got that disgusting foaming and excessive saliva thing going too remember? That's why I've been staying in the house all the time lately... don't want to disgust others with my constant spitting
Garfield, during my confinement with Ethan I catered confinement food and had a good maid to help me. But even then it was quite chaotic. This time round, there is Ethan to take care of too and my new maid is totally inexperienced with newborns. But hubby suggest flying my previous maid in to help out for 2 months instead of hiring a CL woh... I know it sounds a little far-fetched. But I'm rather scared of these old CLs leh. They seem to be bullies most of the time. And my previous maid took care of Ethan from day 1 so she would know my expectations. Aiya, very fan over this now.

I don't like that fargotty gatsby ad too
But I saw that actor in some old Jap drama lately where he is a race car driver turned bus driver for an orphanage and I loved him in that role! Made me cry buckets every time the little ones cry. Hehehe. I think jap babies are sooooooo adorable
chocbabeeeee, thanks for the compliments on YR. Eh, U trying for 2nd one? Dont' stress yoruself out like what peko said. U and hub has to just be relaxed and do it (as though u don't want a baby) then u will get it. WISH u luck.
catz, did u order the hi5 dvds from the spree???? thanks for saying YR cute...but i dont' agree that she got her notti expressions from me...BECOS I'm DA angel. hee hee
YEs, the gatsby man is reallly famous. This gatsby ad outdid the previous one he did for the hair spray or hair gel just before the body spray ad. U remember there was another ad where the guy stuck out his tongue at the end of the ad? Walauz....that one hor...super act cute lor...cannot tahan.
cherryyyyyyyyy, I'll be using my other room to put the 2nd baby i guess. At least until the 2nd baby is sleeping thru the night. then I will try to put the 2 kids in same room. I will have to buy a 2nd cot for the 2nd baby cos YR will still need her cot.
regarding how I am gonna handle 2 ah.....Ummm.....well, for the 1st mth, i think i will definitely need help BUT a confinement lady is out of the question. My hub and I really hated the confinement lady we had the 1st time and we got rid of her after 1 week cos we really cannot tahan her. this time round though, my hub is thinking of asking his mum over to help out for a mth then after that i'll be on my own i guess. My hub will also try to come back earlier in the afternoon to help out or work from home more i guess. Also, YR will be attending playschool in sep 3 times a week for half day so hopefully that will help me out a little.

rachel, i told her it becos of her then i change plan but she insist i m the one who cancel her. n then she say i made her lose 2 jobs n now july is free for her. then i was talkin to her halfway, she just slam down my phone
she did it 2 times. anyway, if she dun wanna return i also cannot force rgt?
yup i also dun trust my mil if she say she help me fully. cos the first cf i know liao. she only tok. so if this time she really come, is only to help play with zz only.
think this arrangement is not bad, if i still continue tat cl, we might quarrel n worse. cos i still can tell maid wat to do n she wun tok back at me at least.

Hi Mummies,
I have been keeping quiet for some time but i still come in to read the post time to time. Hope all babies are doing well. Congratulations to all mummies who are pregnant and those who have delivered. How time flies.
I am now still in Malaysia enjoying my time with my daughter. Have been busy trying to toilet train her. She now pees and poos in the sink while I carry her. Trying to get her to do it in the potty or toilet seat. At least I don't have to wash her trainning pants anymore.
I may be starting a new job next month. Really not looking forward to pumping milk again. I am still breastfeeding my daughter at 9am, 1pm, 8:30pm and 4am. Any mummies still breastfeeding now?
About having MIL to help for confinement: My experience was not that good although my MIL is the nice type as we after giving birth our emotions are not that stable and my MIL have forgotten a lot of things about taking care of babies. MIL in the end will feel like they are like maids. If I were to do it again I hope to be able to hire a good confinement lady.
<font color="ff0000">I have a question to ask mummies here. Since our toddlers are already 18 months old, do we still need to sterilize milk bottles for storing breast milk? Are any any working moms who are still pumping milk now?</font>
