Felicia, you want to know what I had for dinner yesterday or last week? hee, my memory is for those 38 things leh, not for those which I am suppose to rem hor. Memory failing too, esp when after having 2nd one.

<font color="aa00aa">Veniz, at least 38 thing u can remember, but me cannot oso leh. Yaloh, agreed tat after 2nd one, memory more cham liao</font>
 
<font color="aa00aa">bizzsnow,
best to do a double check wif your hr cos although theortically u shd get AWS if you are still on co. payroll as of 31st dec, if co. wants to "play dirty", they can also dun give u...
when it comes to AWS, it is usually no pro-ration for departing staff, oni on new staff who join mid-yr or in the last few mths of the yr &amp; had passed their probation.</font>
 
bizz,

my vacuum cleaner has HEPA filter and quite good. but the filter is quite old liao, i tink must buy a new one.

The problem is i have 2 sets of cupboards which has been there since we move in. the cupboards are quite dusty and mouldy smell (inside). Got anyting i can place inside the cupboard to remove the smell? i dunno if homefix got sell someting like tis.

then another ting, i dunno is it the air-con or the room is mouldy smell or dusty smell. sometimes i tink is air-con but after i air the room, the smell seems no more. i suspect is bec the room is not air bec we are not at home during working.

then again, no time to clean my bb bedroom during weekdays as he need it to sleep soon when we go back home. only clean once during weekends. tats why dunno is it clean enuff.

i wonder is purifer good? cos i read it eliminate dust mite. can someone advise?
 
ioio,

i am considering baby safe latex mattress but its super ex. $190 for my bb cot cos mine is big size. and its dust mite proof.

yes closed window. i dunno shd i get humifer or dehumifer. bec i read humifer is good bec it give moisture to bb skin. but dehumifer can remove humidity and reduce dust mite. i dunno which one is suitable cos those articles i read is ang moh countries with 4 seasons.

i oso reply my bb in same manner as u.
cos i read in articles tat tis encourage bb to learn to speak faster.
 
i find everyday travel to my MIL house very sianz. but no choice cos she taking care of bb. though her dinner is not bad, she always try to cook a few dishes.

so i wonder for those mummies who stay with mil one. dunno can tahan or not.
 
<font color="03b6ea"><font face="Comic Sans MS">ellysia.. yup i saw at OG cheeky bon bon at $149 and babysafe is ard $190, very ex lor..

i have never seen a dehumifier leh.. but if its smell think ioniser is a good one.. as it is often use for kid with ashma..etc...</font></font>
 
Felicia and veniz,

i find my memory v jiat lat now. colleagues ask me whether just now wat customer say etc, i cannot remember.. its jiat lat. then i super blur nowadays. i send wrong email. suppose to send to contractor ask tings. send to customer instead. try to recall... but tink customer may have receive it. die lah. wait get complaint again...

Then just now at lactation room, i nearly forget to take 1 bottle back home.. packed 4 bottles in 1 cooler bag then pack the pump bag.. then abt to go liao.. i tot i check the fridge then realise still got 1 bottle haven't pack into another cooler bag....
 
ioio,

is it? ioniser har..

ok i take a look out for it.

i read tat eczema can lead up to asthma sometimes. read liao scared. cos my hb got asthma during his childhood. now dun have liao.

cheeky bon bon is dust mite free or just normal latex?
 
wah all the mummies here v xi4 xin1 leh.. ioniser, vacuum cleaner, dehumifier etc... mine really growing up in a dirty environment lor. like hokkiens say - la sup jia, la sup dua...

oh Tangs and Robinsons got sales.. on bb items. see today's Straits Times..
 
<font color="03b6ea"><font face="Comic Sans MS">An air ionizer is a relatively new device that is intended to purify the air. As its name implies, instead of using fans and filters, an air ionizer creates ions which remove microscopic particles from the air. Rooms are healthier for those suffering from asthma, allergies, impaired immunity, or respiratory ailments, without as many allergens circulating in the lungs.

Air ionizers rely on the chemical properties of particles. An ion is just a particle that is charged, either negatively or positively. This commercial device, a tabletop or stand alone unit, creates negative ions using electricity. The ions flood the room and seek out positively charged particles, such as dust, dander, bacteria, pollen, mold, smoke, chemical vapors, and many other allergens. Once bonded (remember, opposites attract), the particles are too heavy to float around where they can easily be inhaled. As a result, the harmful airborne particles become larger pieces of dirt on the ground where they can be cleaned by normal means.

Most particles near the ground, are positively charged. Natural phenomenon, like lightening or waterfalls, generate negative ions and ozone. This is the "fresh" smell you might encounter in an electrical storm or white rapids. Ozone is a naturally occurring gas related to oxygen. Our buildings' insulation interferes with atmospheric air circulation, so an air ionizer seeks to compensate for this disequilibrium.

Often outdoor pollutants get a lot of attention. We do not want car exhaust or factory emissions to cause health hazards. But indoor air pollution remains a serious problem. Dust and mold collects inside heating and air conditioning ducts. Higher humidity inside allows bacteria to thrive. An air ionizer addresses these home and office sources of pollution and odor. The ozone that is created when negative ions are generated, battles pollution by breaking it down into smaller, harmless components. Ozone makes it more difficult for germs to grow, and deodorizes as well.

Ionizers conserve power and run silently, unlike fan-driven air purifiers. Another advantage over other purifiers is that no parts need regular replacement, because there are no physical filters. Even though most air ionizers don't have a motorized fan, the ionization creates a faint breeze that helps to distribute the ions throughout a room. Some are also outfitted with screens or prongs that catch the particles of dust as they fall to the ground.</font></font>
 
<font color="03b6ea"><font face="Comic Sans MS">bleh.. me think think only.. no action..think bb with no special condition dun nid all these lah.. too clean oso prob.. but with allergy..etc then no choice lor..

ioio,
Your bb sooooo cute.. Makes me miss my girl so much. Not seeing my girl tonight cos working late, so will be leaving her with my mum. Sob. Will only pick her up after I off work tomorrow.
 
ioio... ur baby looks so cute and so happy smiling at the camera. Really reminds me of isaiah, miss him so much. I also think you should go for training.. take it as a break with you and hubby, some couple time. When baby grows a few months older, cannot go already coz he will recognise you and will cry his heart out if leave him alone... 16wks 7kg is very good le, isaiah is only 6.7kg and he's already 21 weeks old.. haiz


hi feifei
Dun be sad... must think positive, its better for charlotte to be closer to MIL than to the maid :p but im sure as she grows older, she will know who is mummy... its' their natural instinct... i havent buy anything for isaiah yet... tings here are so so expensive, 1 children jacket at least S$100... pengz


ellysia, you are right. Babies love to bite their fingers.. they munch and munch and looks so delicious. These few days, my mum just told me isaiah has developed new habit of biting his toes..im really amazed how flexible he is, can bite his toes... so our babies really grow each day and each day is a wonder to us


hi felicia
Dun feel paiseh... I feel so touched when you mentioned abt tears rolling down your cheek.. its a mummy natural instinct. Im sure your no 1 will understand
 
<font color="aa00aa">Star, u r here?

mummy wan to consider amk garden mac?
1st parkin is free...
 
ellysia,
I got 2 air purifiers, cos got 2 dogs (hb, bb Floyce n me) sharing the master bedrm. So there're 5 of us..
happy.gif


1 of them is Sharp, the other is Hitachi..

Look for one that had low maintenance cost.. My Sharp hepa filter costs $160 while the Hitachi one is $100.. although the user guide stated to change the filter every 5 yrs, I've to change them yearly cos of my 2 dogs.

They really trap dust/fur and get rid of smell very well. Sharp is good, I've yet to change the filter after 3yrs but it's still very sensitive. Even when I use my toner, it's able to detect the change of smell in the environment and start to change its work mode to remove the "odour"...
happy.gif


I bought the Hitachi 2nd hand from Yahoo Auction 3 mths back.. and just replace the filter and everything will be like brand new.. cos the main function will be the filter. I place this new purifier next to bb's cot and it's trapping fur very well...
happy.gif


Let me know if you need more info.
 
btw, i dun think purifiers can eliminate dust mite. Air purifiers are quiet unless u switch them to the "most hardworking" mode..
happy.gif


As for clearing dust mites, I've got the Osim water-based vaccum cleaner and it comes with a vaccum head which u can use to vaccum yr bed to get rid of dust mites. But trust me, you'll be too lazy to use it after a few times. I'm a typical example.. I suggest getting a good mattress (eg. Babysafe)
