its fashion/makeup genre
you can buy from bookstores in the airport - they have more magazine variety
you can get more common ones from those newstands thats everywhere in HK lar. if you dont want buy some, then go airport and buy some again, just buy all from airport.
i remember in arrival hall, got a bookshop selling magazines on the left hand side, its along a row of shops (with lou por biscuits shop)
if you are in departure hall, i think oso have but i forgot where issit liao

Aqua, haha, ya lor, cos I have 1 pump at office (loan set from friend), 1 electric pump at home, 1 electric pump at ILs place and 1 set of manual pumps in case I need to go out. But I know mummies like WendyG did very well with just 1 set of manual pump lor. Maybe my supply too low bah, manual pump really too slow. Arms ache so I give up and switch to the electric pumps. But now heart pain to sell at heavy discount lor. But bo bian, all for the sake of the Medela freestyle. Somemore I'm now SAHM, no need so many pumps liao. Hee.
Tattoo
Ouch, ouch! I didn't even pierce my ears cos my mum never brought me when I was young. When I grew up, I hesitated cos scared of pain. But if my gal wants to do it, I'll bring her and do it with her. I still got a pair of brand new tiny diamond ear studs from wedding 'si dian jin'.

Pixie, ya lor, sometimes my gal don't want to latch and I'll feel so uncomfortable. Best to have a pump wherever I go.
RE: BP
I was so surprised to see how much the price different is for the exactly same piece of Oskkosh T-shirt I bought from BP ($11 or $12) compared to that sold in the shop ($29). Different of $17!!!! Gosh, it's just too good the deal in BP,
if you find something you like, isn't it?
Just bought a few dresses for my #2 and few pieces of top/bottom for my boy. Spent close to $200, hehe.....

Kam,
ya usually u get good deals for these US branded clothes cos the BP sellers bring in directly from US.
When hb goes to US he always goes to the factory outlets and stock up. Can get Oshkosh, Gap etc for like 4-5 USD compared to like 20-30 SGD here.
Over there these brands are not even considered 'branded' but here they are marketed as such....

Poor Verene, hope your hubby and boy recover soon. I bought a lot of cheap Carters clothes from the warehouse sale near Safra Tampines http://anewpiggy.blogspot.com/2008/12/carters-warehouse-sale.html, most of it were $3-4. After seeing how cheap Carters can be even in Singapore, I stopped buying full price Carters clothes liao. Hee.
re: tattoo
>> eyebrow tattoo considered anot? those that will turn green... muahahaha
re: supernanny
>> My #1's childcare tchr implements "time-out chair", not "naughty chair". Just for few minutes. But then again, he'll be 4yo nxt month. For tobey, the only discipline he gets is a smack on the hand and/or stern voice warnings. Somehow, comparing to the deliberate antics of #1, #2 is just an innocent baby curious abt his surroundings & boundaries. Husband keeps saying it's time to start disciplining #2, but no one heeds him bleah.
re: medicine
>> tobey now willingly accepts medicine coz he knows it's sweet. He prefers the pink paracetamol and will fish it out of the medicine drawer (which i hv no intention of relocating the contents... just wait out these few months where he likes to rummage thru drawers..). He knows how to unscrew bottle caps.. small caps or large caps like adult water bottle or his Avent bottle. So nowadays i can't let him run away with the bottle of paracetamol.. only can give him empty bottles to play with.
verene
I think Rose Verandah is the cheapest amongst all the makan places there.. hv made my reservation & looking fwd =) Ya after i calculated, seems like still hv to pay quite a lot (well, more than my usual $3 lunch).. but considering it's my bday and i dun get no presents and we seldom go these kind of places... so nvrmind la. Just jump a bit when the credit card bill arrives at month end hahahaha.

c sect is major op. always better to opt for natural unless medical condition. imagine, natural birth can occur anywhere eg taxi, at home, toilet, airplane.. no need hosp. What abt c-sect?! need a whole medical team & all sorts equipment & hv to be in hosp lor.
take heart, according to many mummies, 2nd time onwards will be faster than 1st time. Maybe due to experience, they won't admit into hosp so early. So go for it!
re: 1 child? 2? 3?
>> my fren's viewpoint is to envision herself in her old age, what does she really want at that time? And she wants maybe 2-3 kids, even tho her #1 was extremely fussy eater (will projectile spit out her food, spit at mummy's face/ hair etc), whether at home or outside. i've been dissuading her from having to go thru it all over again, but she doesn't heed my advise and still trying for another child. gosh.
These days (or maybe it's just the people i know), financial planning stress v much on retirement funds, medisave etc... and my another friend said she will not depend on her kids for her old age. Who knows, it's not that they grow apart fr u after marriage, but already when send them for studies abroad, some decide to find job there and before u know it, pak tor ang mo and settle down there.
For me, my sis is so far away.. if anything happens to my folks, it's just down to me. Thank God that husband is family-person and treats my folks like (or better than) his own, so he'll help me take care of them. sometimes i complain abt my folks to my sis, and she will wonder how to relieve my burden.. she welcomes them with open arms but they don't want to make the trip and dun enjoy their stay there if not for the grandsons.. they can't be themselves coz they're living out of suitcase and in someone else's home.
anyway i digress. time for me to wash some bottles and steal some crops and catch some mice. muahahaha

I hava a sensitive stomach and gastric problems so guess I have to stick with once in a while cramps...wanted to try TCM but my frequent chinese physician is always super crowded and I am too lazy to travel all the way to chinatown. keke.

I am popping Vit C everyday to boost my immune system. I am still well now....touch wood.

Had MIA for a few days..Not a restful holiday.
hubby went for emergency op to remove appendix. Then got to go school suddenly and I walked into the glass door and injured my teeth.
Yvonne,
Try Gap / Zara..Both have sale now.. Normally I buy the formal shirts from them..VEry smart looking. Polo is a little more expensive unless u get from the spree.

mylvera,
Haha.... never happy at work and at home ya. So best scenario for you is to stay at home with your kids with helps, but without your MIL nagging. Get a remote control (remember that movie, can't remember the title), and MUTE her
Oh, your #2 also kena ezcema huh, so poor thing. At which area, hands/arms or face? Hopefully is just a minor one.
And hope your #1 cough getting better soon. Think wendy's #1 cough is more or less cured?
