Tera, aiya, you treat me to those $1.00 stall desserts also can lar. We know each other, can help sure will help one right.

Soyabean, ya, the cyberworld looks quite dangerous if anyone misinterprete any words posted. Thats why I have been saying to some of us here, its good to meet out once in a while, to relax, share info and also get to know each other's personnalities rather than learning behind the monitor. Just told MLP that too bad I can't get to see you so often leh. Also hor, have you been using your baby carrier with Eve? My gal now see me put on my baby carrier, she will be jumping and jumping, very eagar to sit in, hee, even that time Janiviy's Reanne saw me putting on my carrier, she touched the strap, coz I guess she also want to sit in (coz Jan always carry her in carrier).

Felicia, waw, your #1 from prospective Monitress become Taitai liao huh? keekeeke.

 

[fion]

mummies,
those whose bbs is on similac follow on.. there is a promo in guardian for 1.8kg.. $66.80 instead of $69.35 promo till 24 jan.. while stocks last.. i jus grabbed 5tins!

 

[zuen]

feifei,
Haven buy wor. Mummy is already busy when she has to brush her teeth 2x a day, still must find time to brush baby teeth.
We tried that to help Lil ZuEn crawl. She totally uninterested. Otherwise, will lunge forward and crash onto the bed instead. Like I say, butt too big. ;p

ioio,
Heng Lil ZuEn cannot read the forum, else I think she will hate me. ;p The toothpaste is edible de? I suspect Lil ZuEn will eat the toothpaste too. She did that with the teething gel. I think 90% eaten and only 10% went to her gum.

 

[teragram]

soya,
yah, in cyberspace, words can often be mis-interpreted. and i also think after such a incident, things can never really go back to the way they were before le. :|

veniz,
no lah, i will treat u to something better, i promise after all u have done for me, fwah!!

i think so far i can put a face to all of the regular june mummies' nick cos have at least met up or have FB accounts. somehow being able to meet up or see that person's photo just makes it more real.

have made some good frens here!

 

[soyabean]

[morraine]

<font color="ff6000">*safety*

JTS - guess its high time for those without window grilles at home to fix one up soon &amp; maybe get those safety corners to be fixed at sharp ends like coffee table and tv console &amp; those wedges to be clipped onto the doors in case the lil ones play with the doors

</font>

 

[fion]

now our bbs got many new skills liao hor!

Kyan koes how to choose ppl to carry.. wan or dun wan..
he koes how to shake his head when he dun wan something..
he koes where is his makan places..
he koes where i put his fav biscuit... kekeke..

 

[chamia]

Crystal, serious leh, coz hor I put on quite a fair bit. I just went to pantry for a cup of coffee, almost grab a pack of biscuits but reminded myself not to, hahaa. So far for CNY, I told hb not to get any goodies/cookies, so he only got bahkwa as we both love it. When ever I want to eat tibits, have to remind myself of the spare tyre.

Soyabean, sure, will practise lor, hee. You and MLP let me know lar, you know, the first time I met you all up at HV, I had the beef noodles. Till now, I will want to eat leh, then will tell my In laws to go Anchorpoint foodcourt for it, hee.

Ah Mor, how many pupsik slings you have bought? I rem that time you still want to buy somemore even when you have two at home already.

 

[buttercup08]

Hi mummies,
The chickenpox issue in May thread, i personally feel, is over liao. My biggest concern is for the babies and all of them are well and good! yippee! Besides, i wasn't at the gathering and will not be fully able to comprehendSo i shan't comment anymore. =P

feifei,
yes, i remembered you! =) how are you doing?
u stayed in sengkang right?

Avocado,
mummies, how do you choose which avocado to buy? i went NTUC and all either green colour or totally black...do you choose by pressing? or do you choose the colour (appearance) also?

Yogurt,
feifei, where did you buy the baby yoplait from? i went cold storage at Great world during lunch just now and i cannot find this. I can only find another brand for baby retailing at 6 pack (small size) for almost $18

 

[cactus_79]

BabyCupid, intially, matthew didn't like banana also. but now he loves it. it could be the texture of banana that needs some getting used to.

 

[morraine]

<font color="ff6000">veniz - ha ha i got 2 pupsik only la.. one turqoise one and one stripe one *hee* tat time wanted one more but hb disapprove

[chamia]

Soyabean, why last time in that restaurant? U dun like viet food huh? I only dun like basil leave taste by eating itself, but hor, with the soup noodles, its sedap.

Ah mor, haha, Fennie also help you get huh? No wonder you have two leh.

Crystal, piss... pass some over lar, coz i dun have any other cookies. Just bahkwa. I guess my hb will hit out muching at relatives houses, haaha, and I will be biz taking care of my kids there.

About baby falling, my story best, and also not very good ending. I was getting some warm water to bath Vivi when I told my son to look after her, dun let her fall from bed (coz my hb gave excuses that he had to clean up dishes, no time to help look after her). Then as he is a bit jealous of her, Within less than 1 min, she fell as he allowed her to fall by opening the gap of the pillow and bed side. That's it, its my fault, lucky she was only in shock, no vomit, etc (hopefully no block blood vessels) and from now on, I won't ever let my son to help us look after her. I also caught him pretending to hurt her on innocent account. Really, jealousy is a terrifying thing, thus I have to look for better ways to discipline him.

 

[newbbi79]

babycupid,
this thurs hor?sure , no prob..U ordered a blue one? u let the seller know i collect for u lor..this thurs, outside ocbc hor?

Veniz,
oh dear...tink ur boy feels more attention is given to meimei lor, thats y will do that leh.. Actually its really hard to balance our love and attention hor?

morr...
u shld sell one of the pupsik then...

 

[ellysia]

Reanne,

No lah.. can sit up means u put in position can sit up without any support (or put hands in front), more than 5 secs (according to my PD) means can sit up liao.

For sleeping position to sitting postion, may require 9mths to muster that.
