comgateway -
can use Amex card -- costlier
DBS/POSB MasterCard -- a little higher charget than Visa
HSBC Visa -- with some rebate during this promotion period, but not sure about the bank charge at HSBC
VPOST
can use any card -- i think.
-tute,
although hand wash is better, i intend to machine wash baby's clothes with baby's detergent. normal detergent may cause allergy to their delicate skin.

hi ladies...
Ang Ku Kueh
yesterday i receievd a box of full month celebration cakes and ang ku kueh, neighbour's daughter had a bb girl. the shape of the ang ku kueh is plain (no prints on it) and shaped like a cone.
i thought this is the shape to symbolize having a bb boy? for bb girl shouldn't it be the usual flatten-round shape with prints on it that we see in shops?

wash 3 times cos hb particular lor....especially after his boss bought this biz on termite protection and he read all those articles on how chemicals affect newborn babies.
so now he ban me from buying made in china stuff cos he say they anyhow use chemicals. for those made in china, like clothes - need to wash 3x to make sure no residual chemicals.
the rest of my baby stuff so far all not made in china...bottles made in germany, detergent made in japan, toiletries made in australia. not only very leh cheh to find, also very very expensive!!
trust me - ignorance is bliss =)

made in china
i oso say impossible to avoid. at most can minimize...
i think the research says bb immune system during first 1,2 years not fully developed, so more susceptible. if we can minimize exposure (not zero exposure), it allows them to better cope with these subsequently when they are older.
yest at robinsons sale wanted to buy toy for bb. he say cannot have made in china. we couldn't even find one haha!!! so i told him next time bb grow up ask why no toy he answer her himself =P

Xiaoyun and dor u can check this website: http://www.mobilesquare.com.sg/
The price of the phone they are sellling are quite reasonable. Went there last Sat, lots of ppl go there and buy. They are not those shop who "chop carrot". My hubby (lot of hardwarezone forumers) went there to get the phone. Their service is quite good but best to call them up whether they have the model or not cos they do not keep stock for those model which do not move fast.
Xiaoyun, maybe you can ask yur siblings or anyone with small hands to help u with that.
I have contact for part time domestic helper. She is a China lady but quite friendly and will help to clean the house. She also likes children. Saw her helping my friend, attitude not bad. Anyone interested? Her charges is $10 per hr.

re: cord blood banking
dor and vine_gal will donate out. but the cost of retrieving and testing will be high if we don't keep our own in private bank right?
garfield,
after calculation, it will be about S$7 excluding VPOST/comgateway and local postage charge. if like what Qoosan said, each item about $1.5, then turn out to be $8.50.
good thing to buy from the mummy there is that the stock is ready, no need to worry if we pop earlier.
let's negotiate with her lah, if can get it at $8.50 for all her left over stock. we need 16 in total. bulk purchase from her.
