Mom2nat,
U are SAHM and hae no time. I will be in a worse position. I'm working and still ferry my elder boy for his enrichment class, plus monitoring. Somemore I will deliver around SA2 exam period. I told my elder boy that he has to 自己保重!

Hi, Chaye.
So you and I have recovered? Great!
I am still coughing... think it is going to last for a long time again...
Why so special cooking curry this Sun?
Raining the whole day here, really feels like zzz...
Want to ask you mummies.. For breast pump, manual or electric is better?

Pixie,
Is it? Because of 7 mth??
Oops, not too sure... Coz last weekend we already paid respects to my family's and hubby's grandparents.
I also think electric should be better... My SIL bought a manual one as her friend told her manual can pump more BM... But I did told her using manual is quite tiring. I feel tired even holding my electric pump, let alone pumping it.

nolah, not because of 7th mth...heehee u think too far
i agree manual can pump more BM. i myself using manual x 2 now, i pump manually with both hands...
the thing is, my breasts are more lumpy now, to get the milk flow out of the ducts = harder liao, i went tmc to see LC leh....if my ducts are not so narrow, i would have used electric lor....
my milk flow is slower as compared to #1 time, so i bo bian need to push my boobs to work harder by using manuals
#1 time i use electric one de
get the medela freestyle or PIS lor...its very popular and some of my mummy frens can clear everything within 20mins!
not me, i take super long now haiz...

Both T and me still coughin with phlegm but better la. My voice still coarse.
Cook A Pot of Curry on 21 August
This event happened due to an incident of this PRC complain abt their Indian neighbour cooking curry very smelly. So both went to Community Mediation Centre to mediate. The Mediator ask if the Indian family dont cook curry. Of cos not right cos curry is their main dish. So it was decided that the Indian family will only cook curry when the PRC is not at home. They must cook it with windows and doors close ! Ridiculous right ? So now Singaporean fight back lor. Decided to make a day ie this Sunday to cook curry and 熏死 those PRCs !!!!!!! hahahahaha. below is the FB link

Pixie,
I see. Thanks!
I never breastfeed for long for both my kids so I don't know much lah. Haiz.. I am too lazy lah, only myself to blame that I never try the best to give them the best.
So your ducts are cleared liao? Never mind, try pumping again I am sure the flow will be smooth again.
Chaye,
So there is a background on the curry story. Hahaha. I did not know.
But the PRC family is abit "fei", why complain such thing... like robbing the Indians of their stable food...
And the mediator, I got nothing to say...

mine is not blocked ducts leh...
after i bf x1 and stopped right, my boobs' tissues lumped together and now x2 lai liao, the ducts between the tissues get narrow-er coz of the lumping of the tissue...
must go for massage of the boobs to slowly undo the lumpy tissues then ducts can be back to original width
sounds complex hor

cheh, typed a message and it dissappeared :-(
Pixie,
I have the velcro type diaper cover. Need to dig it out from the box. And also have the diaper liner (is it what it's called, those to put on the cloth diaper to minimise staining of the poo). Will pass it to you one of these days. Will message you on the day itself, k?

Aqua,
I think the work permit date is based on when MOM received the application. So normally it is earlier than the date we took over the maid. I guess this is the MOM policy???
I also just discovered recently that my maid's work permit will expire 1 month before the actual contract ends...
Abit lugi...
We, employers, will have to keep the maid's passport. But the maids will hold on the the work permit. Or else when they go out, Police may thought they are illegal immgrants. But of course, you can hold on to the work permit and give to your maid only when she goes out. But I did not practise that.

Key, yes. I also realized I lose 2mths Waiting for my maid, the permit ends 22mths. Today she cook dinner, almost burn my Hse! Teach her 3 weeks , force her write notes but she dunwan refer! I m so mad! N she dare to argue n reply she scare fire n cooking! She cook once, finish one quarter of my cooking oil n the whole fish was fried n all broken into pieces

I have no time n patience to teach a fresh maid how to cook or look after children. Can puke blood!!! But getting an experienced maid gives another set of problems! Sigh...
Pixie
Why dun u ask jameela massage the lump away? Though it is not blocked ducts, but I think she is experienced, so prob can do it. When I started bf, my blocked ducts a lot, arm pit oso many. She really massage all off! But my fat tummy still here.

good luck to your delivery, post newborn pics in fb ok!!
when i first started hor, my maid also dunno how to cook, and she boiled soup, until dry lor...winner rite
i wasnt mad at her coz to start off, she really got not experience in cooking.
your maid - as long as willing to learn, initial mistakes bound to happen....every meal i nag about safety, fire, gas, blah blah until its drilled into her head lor
apart from drying up the soup, she overdose on salt, fried until charred...all also have but gradually she learnt from mistakes
now my maid can cook well liao, coz we force her to cook everyday under myself or my mom's supervision
learning to cook dont take instantly so must be patient yah

Aqua,
Oh dear! Luckily you are at home when she was cooking.
Honestly those biodata of maids are all bluff... Most maids cannot cook well, and look after children well... Haiz... My maid too... My girl complained that she does not know how to cook porridge. And my maid is a mother of 4 but she always need my MIL or me to remind her what to do when comes to taking care of kids...

Aqua,
So fast your turn liao. All the best!!!
RE: the maid cooking. Ya, it's really not easy to teach and for her to learn. Frying fish is quite a fine art, if you are looking for a perfectly looking fried fish
Pixie,
You want the stuff from me boh? Last night I very free, but you didn't reply me, so don't know if you want or not, so didn't spend time to dig them out.
