Stephanie,
maybe you want to cut down the salt intake coz it'll cause cramps and water retention.

great, will check out the birkies . with all the feet swelling & extra weight, my casual sandles can't cut it anymore for weekend activities - feet ache after a few hours. :S

my feet swell pretty badly, so can't even get covered shoes because feet size fluctuates throughout the day.

i've never worn birkies so dare not buy online. rather go shopping & try hands-on (feet-on more accurate hur hur).
i've joined a few sprees already. the worst were the ones held during last Xmas. Very slow response, incorrect items sent and long waiting time. Worst thing abt spreeing for clothes is, when item was delivered, I had already upped 1 size! by the time clothes reach me , already too small liao :S i think if buy online, when birkies deliver i also deliver already hehe
if u notice, even the free calendars also fewer (actually this is progressively fewer over the past years). i refuse to buy ang pow long! >.< AP content more impt!
i just use last year's left over longs....

Morning all!
Hahaha.. seems like birks is a fav. I love their sandals.. but hard to match CNY dresses. Wow babes, some of u can still wear heels, tatz great! My heels too tiny, maybe should get some wedges for CNY.
RE: Changing of notes
I changed mine last week & pls take note for UOB banks, they hv a limit of $500 per pax(ref to Raffles plc branch) & long Q.
I changed at standard charter, no limit & no queue. Stand-chart's ang baos quite similar to UOB but nicer
RE: leg cramps
Mine seems to come back too, had it once on my left foot. Think feet too cold too, so now trying to avoid late baths & salty food. Yet to try socks, maybe tonite.. heehee

joelle: thx! Shall go shopping soon.. heehee.. if u r buying birks, try world of sports, had sale then .. not sure still on. I find their in hse sale not attractive. Otherwise butula is pretty simple & nice.
Joelle: Solelovers they have counters in major departmental stores like robinsons, BHG... They also have a boutique next to birkenstock at centrepoint L2...
Me used to wear 2inch heels everyday to work, eversince i know i was preggie then i ditched them liao coz i clumsy... Tend to fall down easily... Now dun even dare to think of wearing heels... In fact sandals also depends, dun dare to wear flip flops coz scared ppl step on the back then i fall down... Think my heels can retire for good liao coz after ML, if everyday need to fetch baby, carry my own bag and baby's diaper bag... How to manage??

Joelle: Another thing about birks is that you can actually replace the sole if the sole is worn out... My husband got his pair of soles replaced at $45, he wore it for about 1 yr then the top is still very good then he just got the sole replaced. Waited about 2wks for collection only...

Sherin: Hi, what do you get to see during 4D scan can you videotape it? At which wk is good to do it?
Understand you purchase stuff from US walmart on line. Will you be doing any more purchase from there, if so, is it possible to add on to save shipping? I'm keen to get Sassy MAM bottles but it doesn't accept foreign Credit card. Any advise on how I can go around doing it? Thanks

Kea: u can try Queen D at raffles place xchange. i bought my pumps there. nice design... i got 2 pairs for $80+... the sole is non-slippery kind.
Joelle,
I also like birks very much and find that they can be worn for very long hours and still comfty and legs not tired. That is the only pair i wear if i wanna comfty and long hours walking for pregnancy. I also just ordered another pair of papillio (under birks range) and a pair of crocs online thr BP recently to try out, but not here yet. I think birks are more for ladies as they have many designs.
Someone mentioned birks' sole can be replaced for $45, i am so happy as my current one sole/side seems to be tearing soon. And the thing is i like my current pair so much as it is out of production liao. Happy to know that we can change in birks boutique.
Stephanie,
Maybe u wanna to take in more potassium for leg cramps or do stretching exercise very nite before u sleep. It relaxes the muscles and cramps wont come. Just pull your toes towards u for 3 sets of 20 counts if u r lazy to stretch by standing against the wall. If u experience cramps, dun ever stretch your toes away, it will worsen, instead turn/pull your toes towards u and the cramps wont continue. Now i normally stretch if i go shopping/walking for more than 2 to 5 hours during weekend to relax the tensed/tired muscle calf.
