Ika,
I got it from Cheng Choon. Yes, 180 for 6-panel.

Ecookie,
If I remember correctly, I place order in April. The stock juz arrived n delivered on Friday. Yes, u need to place order 1st. Otherwise, you may miss the June's arrival too.
Maybe for one BB, 4-panel is gd enough. Unless, you forsee BB's liking to stay in the play yard for long even if they are older. As they are older, they need more room for their activities.
Thatz why I pretend to 'HUH' n look @ Jerry when he toi-toi. Even though I wanted to sayang him so much. *So ke-lian*

 

[gingerleaf]

dodo,
Thanks for the link! But I oreadi got the playpen from KP oreadi!

doobom,
YES i agree!! When she cry, i pretend its nuthin n dun show any reaction or sometimes i laff with her, she will chuckle chuckle. If I go "AIYYYOOOO, Pooorrr baby!!!!" She will cry till so ke lian!

Ecookie,
if u cant wait and only wanna get a 4 panel, can buy them at KP. Its ard 129 I think.

 

[ecookie]

gingerleaf: wat is KP? i want to get a playpen to put at my mum side too!

 

[gingerleaf]

ecookie, Kiddy Palace.

I bought a playpen from there for $109. Ugly blue n checks one. Free mattress!

dodo/gingerleaf
play yard - IMO, if u gals intend to get a playyard, do get it early while ur ZQ and Lynn hasn't learnt how to crawl and explore the surroundings around them yet. coz as babies grow bigger, they have a greater sense of the environment around them. for my niece's case, my mum bought the play yard when she was around 8-9 mths, already can grow around the house. n my niece cried the moment they put the play yard n put her in. she absolutely refused to be put inside, perhaps she felt being 'imprisoned' inside or something, preferring to crawl the whole house instead. hence, for my boy, i intro the play yard when he was 3mths old.

dodo
regarding the bumper mat. there's no need to put ABC mat below it. my power-packed boy has already bumped his head against the bumper mat n play yard walls countless times and nothing happened.

also, read somewhere that babies can sense our emotions. at this stage, they actually do not really know what is pain and how to react to it. they sense anxiety/worry from us caregivers. when they bump on the floor, they know something is not right. ur reaction to such accident is crucial. if u react calmly and just pick baby up when he bangs his head,etc and stroke him calmly, he may whimper but won't make cry alot.

but if u 'gan cheong' and start to scream, make noise,etc, babies know u r panicky and will start crying. they cry not from the pain, but from the vibes they pick from you.

sorry, if i'm a little bit long-winded... but just to share. coz at this stage, our babies r more n more active and may bang their heads quite often, even with supervision.

gingerleaf
oh damn... i alr got my britax or else i would have got this one!

 

[garden_dreamz]

ops... made a typo... i mean, my niece was at the crawling stage while she was 8-9 mths old.

 

[pinkrose]

Gingerleaf- Your girl is so pretty, with rosy cheeks!

doobom
my girl will purposely make the "engine noise" or pretend to cry when she want to get out of the car seat or stroller.
When she knocked herself, she will paused to see any reaction or not, if yes, then she will start crying ... or if she see me not ard, she will ke ke cry and look out for me also ....

 

[doobom]

totoro_bb,
Wahaha... Make 'engine noise'. Kelly is a smart gal! =) Think itz ok if BB is gal. Personally, I tend to have the thinking not to sayang too much for BB boy. Tot might be too 'abit oso cannot' type later on. I prefer a tough Boy! Hee... So can protect me in future. Waahaha...

Mummies,
Our BBs are growing @ such a FAST speed that they are almost gonna outSMArt us soon. Oopss... Mummies & daddies have to buck up. Jiayou!!! Of coz, NJOY too. =)

 

[gingerleaf]

Arh!
Just got back from toys u us. TMX Elmo so cute!! But its so ex!!!

dodo, playyard is 129 at KP. Member card no extra

 

[garden_dreamz]

gingerleaf
u can try spree, cheaper, provided its not OOS.

totoro,
went JL at orchard, find that the sale is quite restrictive. lots of brands had the NETT price tag hang big big everywhere, which means no discount, so sad. strollers also NETT price.

didn't see much nice toys at JL too. should have gone marina square then perhaps!

had a tiring day... went out shopping, hunting for pram. finally got a mclaren techno since it was going for $300+, not too bad. though heavy but can accomodate newborn upwards, just in case there is a no.2 or can pass down to relatives in the future if no no.2!

 

[garden_dreamz]

gingerleaf
how about CS? they can help u match with mummies if u need 6 panel? perhaps u can get it together with dodo? KP has 20% discount going on but its not applicable to play yard?

 

[junniezz]

wah.... aunty gingerleaf u go shopping till so late arrr?? 'you se mo sou huo mah'? kekeke..

 

[gingerleaf]

garden,
Spree oos! oh, ya, CC can match, but dodo was saying need to wait till july. I think if really wait till july, abit late for me oreadi. Like u said, wait till too old then contrain, maybe abit pointless liao, coz my gal is the type, if she dun like to be in one place, once u lower her down, she will cry her lungs out. Sigh, i oso dunno what to do. Somemore space contraint oso!

Lance!! U so chubby leh! Feel like pinching ur cheeks!!!

 

[oreomama]

garden & gingerleaf,

ya loh... must wait till july. Winnie from CC told me OOS at the moment... sianz...

my concern exactly same as urs gingerleaf, ZQ will shout and cry when he dun wan to be at a place, i haven place him down he already cried out loud!

junnie,

i wana bao bao lance! super bah bah leh!

 

[sanbebe]

garden,

Oh u got ur mclaren techno for $300+? Hmmm.....I was at Mothercare Harbourfront yesterday, and they have discounts on strollers.

I saw most of the Mclaren models having discounts selling at $200+. May be u can call up Mothercare HF asked about the price of Techno. If it's cheaper, then you can think of returning ur Techno to the place you bought.

 

[sanbebe]

Junnie,

You want to hug me, eh? Hahaha...my arms are wide open liao...

I didn't know you're looking for the website, if not, I'd post it much earlier. Next time if you need anything or in search of anything, just post it on the forum, see if we can help

 

[gingerleaf]

dodo,
how how how!!
lol. buy or dun buy? Sigh!
Ur playpen isnt working for u?

once baby is on the run, its v.hard to contain them anywhere for long. even for the play yard, it can contain them only a while b4 they get bored and u either have to go in and play with them or carry them outside to stretch their legs. for my boy now, i rotate between play yard, exersaucer, activity table and crawling around the house to keep him occupied. even so, sometimes when it gets too tough, i just bring him go out shopping since GSS is on!

sanbebe
thanks for the tip.

just called Mothercare, their techno going for $568. 2008 model is 15% off till today while 2007 is 30%. i got the 2007 model at lower price than theirs. not v.particular tat's its old model as function still the same, only the harness part is different. the other mclaren models r $100-$200+ coz can't recline fully. was contemplating btw quest which was going for $200+ n lighter than techno but looking at the long term, decide on techno eventually.

 

[garden_dreamz]

gingerleaf
re: tmx elmo
there's also tmx cookie monster/ernie, cheaper than elmo version. can try amazon or babycenter sprees. both also have TMX elmo, but could be more ex than the OOS one...

 

[garden_dreamz]

[ueno]

Hi Sylvia,
Welcome! We r organising a trial n it will on 8jun. cant comment now cos havent attend it yet. hehe,,

 

[ecookie]

weicome sylvia, what is ur baby name n dob?

 

[ueno]

zhen_zhen,
which church do u go to? cos i find u v familiar..u attend BRMC??

 

[gingerleaf]

Luckily I dun like to watch tv at night. I cannot stand all this shows one, sure cry buckets n will affect my mood for a long time.

 

[zhen_zhen]

dodo, looks like i cannot attend the kindermusik trial. can't make it.

ueno, ya! i attend BRMC! you too? but now i'm attending the ACSI PP.

 

[gingerleaf]

dodo,
u realy went to tampiness to look for playyard??
U were spotted at giant tampines!

 

[zhen_zhen]

re: play yard/play pen
think most babies don't like being confined. for a start, put them in for 10-15min a day and then slowly stretch the timing. hannah didn't like it at first, but now, she plays by herself quite happily. think when they get older, it'll be even harder. so don't wait too long to get your play yards!

 

[totoro_bb]

dodo
since there are 12 babies already, then u can take me out so you can form the class. most likely I'll meet u gals there

 

[hippo18]

my retro princess says hi!

 

[gingerleaf]

Hahahahaaha, sooo cute!

 

[hippo18]

haha! i m angry with her leh.. i wanted to take pp photos for her.. wakaoz.. she refuse to look at me leh! grrr... must purposely take one ugly pic for her n use as pp photo so next time can suan her and tell her how ugly she was.. wakakakak!

 

[tiffanykoong]

wow, really retro leh

 

[zhen_zhen]

so cute! hey hippo, is your girl ok wearing sunglasses? i'm so tempted to get a pair, but i doubt hannah will wear. she'll probably just pull it off.

 

[madlynette]

wuahahaha! love the sunglasses!

 

[hippo18]

zhen zhen, nope! she's got no nose bridge! so flat.. so she doesnt reali have to pull it off.. it just SLIDES off!!! hahahahaha... but she loves it on her face though not when the weather is hot.. she'll be frustrated and attempt to pull everything off..
