Toys R Us Sale
I bought lots of stuff from the sale.. The most worthwhile buy was this big mushroom inflatable float that cost only $8.
Thermal Pot
I cant remember the brand of thermal pot i used coz i got it during the OG members sale. but i know TIGER is really good as my mom uses that.

china barley is much bigger n rounder..
very distinct difference between pearl barley n china barley. but if either type barley is overcooked, then the water will become heaty instead of cooling.
YT, if u gg this fri then we meet. i may go also.. c kate wan go or not..

When i was there yesterday it was the tail end of the first sale. Apparently Friday will be the second sale with new things i presume but the announcer said it is opened to members only and Saturday to public.
I bought a range of toys from what they can play with now to 3 years old. I feel like Santa Claus just going around to pick up toys.

YT,
Thanks for the info on Hort Park. Will prob drop by one day.
Dh is eyeing the iPhone now, is it user friendly?
Liyun,
Which one is Issac?
Solids,
Wow, the bbs here all eating solids very well! When it comes to cooking for young bbs now, there's no need to add any more seasoning. We adults have eaten all kinds of food and the taste is acquired. Bbs their age have only drank milk and nothing else. So when you give a new food, the sweetness of the food is already a taste to them. Once they've tested pork/chicken/fish/ikan bilis, then you may use the bones as stock. But for me, I'll prefer to start all these are 9 months old.
Jenifur,
Cute looking boy you've got there!

AdeL/Jenifur,
Sometimes it's just me, can't decide what to prepare for them so gave them options.. then I get busier by giving them choices.
bbpink,
Not difficult at all, I'm all for quick and easy recipes since I'm always rushing for time. In fact, the choc cake is a steamed cake. I made a few times and friends say taste like Lana's as it's very soft and moist ;-)
bbheng,
Be careful when you give fish as there's bone in it. Better to cook it first then mash it up and check for bones. If you pre-cut before cooking, it's very difficult to find the bones since they're so tiny.
ngor hee = threadfin fish = wu yu (ie five fish)
jgal,
I won't use ikan bilis now, too much salt in them. I only started giving ikan bilis to my kids after 9 months but need to soak and rinsh and repeat many times.
YT,
I'm staying in the east ;-)

agapebaby,
I'm a sahm =)
I've 3 kids, 6yo, 3yo and 7 mths. I became a sahm in Feb 07 but returned to work in May 07 as my ex-boss started his own coy and asked me to help him. After working for 5 months, I find that I'm not spending enough time with my kids and since I'm expecting #3, I decide I should just be a sahm again. No regrets for me. Although I scream and yell at the kids (not daily, thank God!), I still enjoy my time with them. I cook and bake for the family, and most importantly is to see them grow up healthy. And another thing, money can't buy bonding.

Reena, thanks for sharing you're quite amazing really, with 3 kids and still find the time to cook and bake! how do you find the time?? i find that as a FTWM now, there's so little time spent with him on weekday nights, and weekends are way tooo short! but with the financial crisis looming ahead, im so grateful that i have a good job now, to give it up seems quite a pity. but of cos you're right, money certainly cant buy bonding, and i get to see them grow up once....

Personally I dun advice u to use herbalife.. Their products are too expensive.. You can buy what they're selling outside at a fraction of their price... I've tried it.. It's just not worth the price I'm paying.. And not much results too...

i'm kinda a SAHM
but i do work a little at home. Some days r harder and i miss working outside but on the whole, i'm v. happy to stay at home and watch my kids grow. My #1 is turning 3 in Dec and i feel that i enjoy my kids so much because i'm with them all the time and know them so well. Esp with my first baby, i was amazed that at how much i laugh everyday..can't help it, babies r so cute and express so much joy on their faces and the way they jump up and down, it's v. infectious

kresentia, my boy had fever.. 2days running.. hovering between 37.5-38.7deg.. din hit 39deg..
i sponged him the entire nite. cold towel on his forehead hourly.. i think it depends. his first jab no fever, it was the second jab tat gave him fever.
agapebaby, i used herbalife previously.. yucky. haha.. tats all i can say.
i personally prefer the normal type protein powder meal replacement if u wanna compare results n prices.
for me, i intend to do acupuncture. i dun believe in "eating" slimming products.

my dr told me to use room temp water when sponging someone with fever. Reason being that cold water might induce shivering and that action will keep the temperature higher. The fever is actually brought down when the water evaporates from the skin so you must squeeze water out of the cloth until it's damp and not dripping with water

petrina: hahaa yucky ah? i've tried it before, i find it quite ok leh, esp if i mix dutch chocolate with soymilk, can be q yummy... but may not be value for money cos really can be pricey.... does acupuncture help? i hv no guts to do acupuncture!
kresentia: oh dear hope mikael will be ok, no fever. my bb also having his first jab of pneumococol on sat... hope no fever too...
boon: i need to lose 10KG too!!!!
