krystle
can. i think usually when you buy either you take a stand or wall mount.
eh, sell flat cannot take off the tv coz thats fixed to wall, considered fixtures
 
krystle
Plasma is sharper than projection tv, LCD is sharper than Plasma tv ! so better get LCD. now they are cheap too !

LCD can be wall mounted on wall fixture de... tat's wat I'm gg to do.

Did you grow/shrink after birth ?
NO... except for bigger flabby tummy. but however, still can fit into my jeans... but but... can no longer dare to wear my 2 pc swim suit ! NEVER !
 
Topic of the day:
Did you grow/shrink in size after giving birth?
A: From #1, I grew from a S size to M size. After stop BFing, breasts b'cum smaller too
sad.gif
Waist grew from 26" to 29" (before preggy with #2). Now also same same.
 
Krystle, my mitsubishi fridge only cost $800 cos I bought from Goh Ah Bee (near old Hougang interchange). Same as those that steph and pixie recommended. Just give them the model number and they'll deliver, I never went down to their shop at all. Best thing is the exact same model costs $1088 at Best Denki. Hee.

I was XS before getting married, then became S-M after getting married, After giving birth, back to XS-S. Now, preggie so XXL? Haha.
 
Pixie,
You still can shrink from M/L to S?? How?? Teach me leh... Since #1, been going to gym every week. Although it is helpful but I only managed to slim down till 52Kg and stopped there (Pre-preggy weight was 46kg).

Re: TV
Oh, cannot take off TV hoh. But I saw the Ikea wall console is not really considered a fixture leh... Not sure how to describe it but it is in their latest 2010 catalogue... Actually no intention to move for another 5 yrs lah so maybe it is ok... By then, maybe the buyer also don't want my TV coz outdated liao.

Enemum,
You are so tall so 52Kg will make you look better indeed lah. Still very slim. I am only 161cm... Sob sob.
 
pixie,
coloured stocking thights are pretty but slim thight will look nice...not mine cos my lower body is bigger:p & i am not very tall, only 161cm.
krystle,
before preggy #1, i weigh 49kg, after #2 abt52kg...the extra weigh is on my flabby tummy...very stubborn...just dun seem to reduce leh....but i lazy la, no time to exercise & i love supper so dun think will ever go back to 49kg!
 
Chaye,

it's somehow true on the older we get we shrink in height cos loss of calcium after each childbirth maybe? During school time, i was 162.5cm...sad hor!
 
steph
not sure how to describe to you but look like this:
2915109.jpg

krystle
i bfeed lah, so i shrunk from M/L to S when i was bfeeding. stopped liao then back to M for tops, L for bottom. my g2000 pants which i wore to office during bfeding days now cannot wear liao ley!!
just eat less rice, i slim down fast. different body different leh

enemum
im 168-169 but im 63kg leh!!!!! 10kg more than you!!!!!!!!!!!!

chaye
can be mine but mine not so thin as per pic larrrrr. if so thin, i wouldnt have worn the thights liao in the 1st place. my purpose is just to slim down my thighs mah muahahahaha
 
Talk about height, have anyone heard of the myth? that if you double your kid's height at 2 years old. That will be his/her height when fully grown. Asking cos both me and hubby are not tall, wonder how short RaeAnne will be when she grows up. :p
 
kitsune
my boy is reaching my niece's chin/ear liao. she is 3......but my hb and his bro are equally tall
not counted like that one leh :p
 
kitsune,
if the myth is true then sad leh cos me & hubby not very tall too...for gals i think still ok to fall under 155-160cm but not for boys loh. Boys at least 168cm & abv.
 
Pixie,
Why are you giving away so many shoes? Wasted leh... Talking abt shoe size, that day I was telling my colleague that it also increased after giving birth. Used to be size 36/37 and now before #2, became size 38. Currently wearing Size 39 (bought 1 size larger in case of feet swelling but so far don't have).

Re: Stretchmarks
Appeared again for #2... Haiz... More this time... They appeared later though at 8th mth and more are found on my right side (coz my baby likes to lean/lie on that side). Also found that both sides of waists have some too (but just a few dots type)... All appearing in different areas than before... I wonder how I can wear my bikini now.
 
alamak ! kitsune got such myth ah ! kekeke.. i must ask my mum watz my height when I was 2 yr old ! hahahahahaha

Tate is 85cm now x 2 = 170cm oni for a boy is not enuf la... hope he grow a few more cm in a few mths time when he hit 2yr old
happy.gif
 
krystle
i cant wear them
i dont know why but when i try/buy=can wear. then go home or next time wear=so painful. like bound my feet so tight, can be 3 inch feet kind of feeling liao

if you are keen in my size 38/39 shoes i dont mind give you. interested? else throw away very wasted...coz either never wear b4 or wore 2, 3 times
 
Kitsune,
It's a not a myth! There's some truth in it, even docs and parenting magazines say the same thing. Our kiddos reach about half their adult height by 2 years old so you can roughly know how tall they will be in future. Of course must plus/minus a bit lah. I think my boy will be tall cos he's already 86cm at 18 months, now easily 88cm cos his teachers all commented his height like shot up again.
 
I finally managed to get in...you gals don't seem to have a problem judging by the no. of posts in the past few days. I thought forum was down cos everytime I click on Jan 08 MTB thread, the screen goes blank for a loooong time. Couldn't get in for the past few days liao. Cannot even check my spree status....hahaha!
 
yay! my hb called and say fan overheated for cpu, means no need buy new pc. means got spare $$ buy DSLR or macbook.......
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
 
Chaye,
I am sure Tate will be tall cos yr hb very tall leh.

talking abt giving away shoes...i also gave away 2 bags of my excellent condition pre-preggy clothes (XS/S size top & straight cut jeans/skirts/dresses) to my colls. Cannot wear them & dun wan to collect dust...wanna clear space too so have to heartpain & give away loh.
 
eNemum.. hahaha u so funny...

steph
u saw my hb b4 meh ? the one and only gathering which I attended he din go leh
 
eNemum,
Hahaha...I know. The nurse at my PD clinic always suan me say must buy fare card for him already. No choice leh, I'm 166cm and my hubby is 181cm so he'll be tall for sure. He's already towering over his older classmates at playgroup so other mummies always think he's 2years old.
 
tongtong,
Pei fu you leh, you gonna start to travel back and forth SIN-KL-SIN again.... Take good care ya.

krsytle,
Oh, so you are already on HL waiting for the big day. Just be relax, ok!

Think BF really helps a lot to cut down the extra kg after delivery. And my gynae also commented my uterus has gone back to the normal position very fast because of BF, and I recovered very fast and well. Now my weight almost goes back to pre-preg (#2) weight, only 2 more kgs to go. BUUTTTTT, I still have the extra 10kg to shed off from my #1 pregnancy :-(

So you should try your best to BF also.

Steph,
DSLR also has auto mode leh. I only know how to use the auto mode only after having the DSLR for >1 year already. Both me and hubby love photography, but it's the very wrong timing to get the DSLR, ie, after having kids, simply no time to learn. Even when we have time, there are so many things waiting for us to do. Now have 2 kids, think I will continue using the auto mode forever :p The thing I like about DSLR is that can get close up pics and take clear pics when the kids are moving about. My hubby wants to buy a fixed lense, cos it's best to take children photography, but I say no, cos no time to learn, why waste money to buy another one.

Pixie,
I forgot. Yvonne is good at photography, I remember.
 
pixel...that kind of tights can slim down legs ah?

but wear to office like weird....cos all the other ppl didnt wear striking clothing...if i wear sure ppl will see
 
Kam,
Not me lah, although I can take decent pictures. It's my hubby who's crazy about photography and cameras. The pictures in the multiply website were taken by him (99% of it).
 
Pixie
Debbie Ho.. talk about it.. I have a list of mums in FB but I duno who is who leh :p some I know la some I duno man... watz yours btw ?
 
enemum
i wear black ones. but i have dark purple, dark green.
i pair with errr dresses that are a bit short for my height....
my office ppl wear clothes quite ok so i am allowed to experiment and be daring bah i guess

chaye

chaye,
u hooked to RC & neglect HF hur? likdat how i expand my farm leh if u dun play... but HF boring after awhile...must plant many diff fruits to exchange dog food!sian...& no $$$ to expand plot of land arghhh
 
Kam, don’t worry, since you will still continue to bf , sure can shed the 10kg one. Kam what is HR’s height? Cuz I dunno Shaun’s height and he is about same and slightly taller than HR.
