haha I also have a colleague who uses a strong perfume that I am allergic to. Luckily I don't sit hear her. The bad news is I couldn't find a way to tell her either LOL
However one day she wore a different perfume, something that I could tolerate. I immediately complemented her "WA what perfume you using, very nice leh, etc." After which she uses alternates this new perfume with her old one more frequently LOL Not a 100% solution but better than nothing huh

anyone know which brand to buy for baby diaper cream?
If u don't...i got a good brand for u...Desitin Diaper Rash Ointment, Creamy (with Aloe and Vitamin E) very good!
I've been using it for my boy since birth till now...he don't have the Rash problem...i apply it after each change of diaper.
Very Goood!

joelle.. go when you are free or have transport lor.. cos' not accessible by walking. it opens on sat/sun.
i think both quite big.. 1 is ang mo brands. Peg prego / maclaren/ quinny.. the other is jap .. combi mainly. go there later in your preg also good then you can buy the things you need at 1 shot lor. The price is reasonably lower than in the shopping ctr e.g. pamper, bottle, teats
i like a peg prego, my hubby likes a quinny.. my friend told me combi is better cos' lighter .. *aiya* very confuse. I think i just the carseat cum carrier first.. then decide after confinement on the stroller.. **i want to hug/hold bb as much as i can and while she is little **

joelle: aiyoh, dunno how to hint hint to her hehe. Very paiseh one. Somemore she is new to the company. Actually quite funny, she uses Gucci Envy and before pregnancy, I also use Gucci Envy. But after pregnancy, I cannot stand the smell liao cos too strong! Also because she sprays so many times a day

Joelle: abt 2 mths (less or more) it also depends how much u want to put...ha ha!
when i finish the tube...i will make sure i really use all inside...I WILL CUT the Tube and start taking those left overs to put they into a container so that i will not waste them. (Crazy me right)
Local Shops like those Guardian Pharmacy...which they only display the ORIGINAL(2oz) not CREAMY! if u want creamy u must ask counter (not every Guardian Pharmacy carrys CREAMY)
I Prefers CREAMY cos it has the Aloe (which Heals) and Vitamin E (good for skin)!
this is my point of view lah!

Hi mtb... before i confirm my bb gender, MIL already know its a girl... tat day came back from detailed scan she told me she knew it from guangyin temple tat im expecting a girl even before tat. i was so shocked tat she went to temple to ask. to me whether boy/gal is my own child. i dont care what gender or wat other people think, but why must use this way to predict the gender of my bb? when its time we will know. obviously she wanted a grandson this time as she has 2 granddaughters (my SIL de) liao. she also told me my SIL's PIL went to temple to ask which mth for SIL to conceive will get a son. dont u all think she trying to hint me to do this in future planning? hope im not being sensitive here
but this has been in my mind since then. hmm~

Ah ...OMG.. calamari... Thanks a mill for asking for me. looks like the search carries on...
Kea, cheer up... my office's getting one more full timer too to cover me. Think on the bright side. Part-timer come in to cover, later they may have the mentality that anyhow, they will leave, so they dont do a good handover when you are back from the leave. That leaves you with a load of mess to clear. And, esp, you're just back to work and away from bb, you cant have too much stress.
So, if a full timer comes in, they will have to do a good job as appraisal is important for them. So, when you are back, you may have a peace of mind or new job scope. BB will bring good luck to you...
