re: ear wax

my boy oso enjoy the session. LOL

fairfield,
i clean the outer part using cotton buds or sometimes when he's in the shower i'll clean it with my hands but gotta ensure my fingernails not long so that i won't scratch him...
jass,
heheh...matt opposite of cayleb leh... he hates it when we touch his ears, even taking temp from ear is a challenge! is it ok to use ur fingernails? so far never scratch his ears?
stephie,
wow... you're planning to bring shaun to europe! is that for vacation?
jeannie,
good to hear that your flight was good... hope gwen will settle in and adjust her bio clock soon... maybe will take some time...prob if you can let her rest i.e. sleep more then will adjust faster?

jeannie,
yeh!! you made it successfully! must share your travel tips ok? my trip to japan is only a small fraction of your air travel time, but i'm very apprehensive =P deliberately chose a day flight so that in case she doesn't take to it, i won't get dagger stares from fellow travellers trying to sleep.
must update us regularly ok? some serviced apartments (like ascott) have play groups one, so you may be able to hang out with some mummies over there too!
aiyo so exciting...makes me wanna go for posting too =)
fairfield,
my mom uses cotton buds to clean too. same as matt and gwen, A loves it!
stephie,
USA round trip is only 80K miles, now with the 25% online discount it's only 60K miles. With 100K miles can make one round trip to USA and one round trip to Japan

Bkkgal, sorry to hear that the transfer was not approved. Never mind, 1 day a week to work from home for civil service is a major victory liao, considering how conservative they were. Jia you!
Genice, glad to hear it was a good flight. Wow, you got to watch movies and even had a nap.
Stephie, wow, going to europe, hubby will never approve for us to go to such a faraway place with RaeAnne still so small. Think he feels it's a waste of money cos it'll be so exp and she won't remember anything. Sigh.
Fairfield, my gal likes us to dig her ear too. She'll keep very still. haha.

Stephie, I agree, I can't bear to be away from her unless it's a short getaway. Why did you decide to go to Europe though? For leisure right not work trip right?
Nicole, nice pics of genevieve. Were they from studio loft too?

Stephie,

actually i feel the civil service these days are more family friendly, cos they got to set example. i can't imagine all the poor mothers who have to work long hours in traditional-SMEs!
jeannie

nicole

Thanks mummies! I look young ah ? haha maybe its because of the sapier colors lah..
Not sure about outdoor leh.. maybe you can check out their website... can just google sean lau photography. Their studio is home based , in Compassvale , but its very cosy and comfortable for the baby. Atmosphere there very relaxed and soothing, they even played nice children's songs in the background. Oh but they only do photoshoots till max of 15 months...
As Garfield advised, let babies eat and sleep enough .. then they should be fine...

Garfield - thanks! need more tips, let us know your itinerary. I am also doing my "research" now..haha..will share share.
regarding The Citidines, the price is better than my hotel, and larger space (the hotel in Ueno is only 14m2..omg, while Citidines is 25m2). But Shinjuku is a bit far from quite a lot of places hor..i still thinking leh..now i planning where to go..

Garfield - are you going to Sanrio Puroland, if so, this is useful for u.http://www.puroland.co.jp/english/coupon.html
Iso/Pauline,
it's not 4 day work week leh. It's 1 day work from home. Abt family friendly practices in cs, er herm, i reserve comments. Will tell if/when we meet.
Bassinet seats
It's 12kg limit for BA. Under 10 kg for TG. The TG bassinet is really tiny. Anyway, our babies are so big, they will struggle out of the bassinet in no time. The angmo airlines will insist you strap the baby at all times which is IMPOSSIBLE.
One thing I learnt: dun bother with bassinet seat if you are travelling short distances. The chances of sitting next to another baby is high (which means, that baby will have different sleeping times from yours, will cry and affect yours if yours is easily affected) and worse, may end up sitting next to sick child which was what happened to me on trip to perth. i was worried sick the whole way that my trip will be ruined after K stuck her fingers in sick baby's mouth.
Nicole
The shots are nice! so many prop set ups! How did the photographer get her to smile so much?

Gar - me also will go there, never go b4.
If you like the character totoro (long mao), you should go to Ghibli Museum. i went b4, quite nice

Howver, to buy the tickets is a little hassle cos you can only buy it at the convenience store, Lawson.
