ergo
mummies, this ergo cannot be found in shops. only at mummysmilk.com or through the BP here. but as CS mentioned before, the BP isn't cheaper significantly, and have to wait two weeks. the mummysmilk pple were very nice, they have a 'showroom' at changi (opp changi prison) which i went to, and tried the ergo before buying. you just have to contact them through their website. a couple of us have the ergo here, doink, pb, dor dor, rena, hannah... so we could always have an ergo trying party!!!

bbp, did u mean u can get sophie the teether if i'm keen? How much will it cost?

oh Qing, u r going to Taiwan?
With hubby & barbie?

jsp, what makes u bring ernest for a blood test 2 mths back?

Pram
I got a second hand combi well comfort after leaving my old pram in the taxi boot during cny visit. Quite good leh, only weigh 4.2kg, can 1 hand fold & open.

On maclaren ones, i noted that the handle is those that we can't wipe/take out to wash kind? So will it be hygenic for long term usage? I have a volo bought from taka fair last yr. Very stylo white colour. It has been kept in the storeroom since #3 comes along coz can't bring it out as can't lie flat. Now gotta take out again since celeste is older & can sit upright liao. I like it coz it's cooling & lightweight, only 3.9kg if i'm not wrong?

I like light-weight ones as we dun drive. Easier to bring out mah.

 

[batgirl]

do1nk,

Sport and normal feels the same huh...heehee... it looks less "wrappy" in the pictures. Sport looks cooler.

mummysmilk having discount! for the hawaiian ergo. $169 vs $180. I am on waitlist for a sport ergo! Will go and try later... hehe...

Today I am on leave. If weather is good, will bring my boy to the Zoo!

Woah! SY, you are rite! It was making some hissing sound, machiam "lao hong". Yea..it is the membrane! Changed it liao... now it is ok!

thx!

[hannahi]

[julysweetiepie]

morning mummies... spend a bomb yesterday lor... and all for myself... heehee...

Jaceyln
u veri observant hor... didnt manage to see ya yesterday hor... u bought the techno huh??

michelle
nice meeting ya yesterday and thanks for rocking Ernest to slp yesterday... btw, he was so tired that he konked out at 7.30pm last nite and did not even wake up for his nite feed lor... budden i just feed him while he slping...

do1nk
glad that bbG is feeling better liao...

Hannahl
it was the PD who suggest Ernest to go for a blood test one... cos she found him exceptionally fair lor...

Ergo
me also kinda tempted budden HB will kill me if i buy another carrier lor... got 3 alrdy lor... heehee...

 

[badazzlee]

JSP
wah, you win liao.
3 CARRIER???

i only got 2. only bjorn and sling (consider carrier?)

and what did you buy???

 

[bluebearypie]

HannahI,
Yup yup, I can get Sophie the Teether for you if you're keen. Not sure about the costing yet cos hubby's business partner is still working it out to see how competitive they can price after including the shipping. It's the shipping that's killing the price. Anyway, it's now retailing at UD19.99 at Amazon.

Qing,
I just realised you are very lucky. I just went to check out Amazon and the price of Sophie the Giraffe has increased!

batgirl,
Wah the hawaiian ergo... too flamboyant for my liking

SY, do1nk,
Me will consult my hubby and ask him which end is easier to go to. I live in the West... both ends are super far for me leh.

JSP,
You got 3 carriers already? Which ones? Yah, me also tempted to check Ergo out. But don't wanna spend money (need to save cos recession plus hubby starting his own business). Plus Scootababy serves me well so far.

 

[michelletan]

Eh, hubbies can use Ergo or not?

Tell you all what happen ytday...
Ernest very cute leh, he hor.. keep staring at me, must be wondering, who is this auntie why keep trying to rock me to sleep... but he sooo easy loh.. doesn't fuss one!

Ember so cute.. "singing" in the restaurant all the way until the biscuit reach her mouth.. then her gor gor knows how to feed her somemore.. so sweet one loh..

Kacey hor! carry her she rewarded me with "gold"! hee hee... suddenly eh.. why bum bum got movement.. hee hee....

it was really nice meeting up with you all..

Next time I will attempt to bring Ethan out alone!

eh Jacelyn, if you bot the stroller from Taka with my Taka card hor. can get 10% discount and 6% rebate wor.. hee hee hee..

Today is my appraisal day, i wonder what my big boss will say to me.....

 

[badazzlee]

bbp
i don know am i lucky or what...
like you say, i got it cheap.
but hor, even i try to let it go near here. she give me that petrified look. (like see ghost like that)

i follow the tips you all teach here.
but it wont work.
i tried to place it with her other toys which is usually in a black box. she very clever loh, she saw the giraffe head. she don even want to touch the bos of toys loh...
then when i removed it, she will even track where i place it. then start playing with the rest of the toys..
even if i just hold it, she also freak out.

 

[doggiebb]

michelle

of cos can. mr D used to ergo the girl downstairs to buy groceries last time.

 

[badazzlee]

to console myself.
i tell my god mil that we can placed sophie at the plant which she loves to eat... YES, eat plant.
or can her daddy calendar there, so she wont go tear them.
heehee

 

[1stlittlestar]

Michelle, i also got Taka card! haiz ok so Taka is better then ... shucks. but anyway i got isetan voucher so not so heart ache. NExt time i know liaoz. Go taka first!!!!!

JSP, hee yah i noticed that usually u are very early to give morning greetins here. u li hai leh. 3 carriers! Oh Ernest is very fair hmmm your PD not bad leh. Quite observant good good.

Hannahl, I dunno why but hor prefer strollers with bigger wheels coz i look at the big wheels i think like more steady. Errm but not those kind super big ones will have difficulty gg up or down the small escalator. So i see see look look think maclaren is more hardy. Agree that lightweight ones easier to bring out ... but hor, like i say i will only use carrier if i go out with bb alone. Maybe one day should use my new stroller try try

Ergo & Bjorn, actually hor, my bjorn is not too bad. Coz i am using the one with back support so my shoulders dun ache actually. Its my back. I feel that its aching if i carry bb xun in there for a long time. Will ergo have such problems? Hmmm if ergo use hips to support then it will suit me well wor coz i got super big hips! hee hee

Qing, u very funny leh. Treat sophie like a real giraffe. haha

ok gtg back catch up on work ...

 

[julysweetiepie]

bbp/Qing
i got a balboa, a moby wrap & a pupsik pouch... heehee... so HB will definitely kill me lor... and i also prefer to use stroller if the place is not super crowded lor...

michelle
Ernest when out is super 'guai' one lor... seldom fuss one... its oni when he's at hm then all the pattern come out lor... next time bring Ethan out hor... then Ernest can make more frds lor... gd luck for your appraisal hor...

 

[sychua79]

do1nk
hee, if i have car i dun mind going to your place cos it's one straight expressway down mah.

re carrier
hmm, tempted to get one but then dunno whether jx will stay still or not.

qing
why not bring barbie along? i brought my boy to aussie at 10 months. the older they are, the harder to bring.

jacelyn
yes taka is cheaper in general. u will notice that some items are priced differently in different shopping centres. i ever bought pacifiers from robinsons and BHG at different price. so far i find that taka and robinsons cheaper.

re swim gathering

JSP,
Moby wrap! I was quite tempted cos looks super versatile, but I decided I would be too dumb/lazy to learn all the different ways of tying.
Declan also got the guai in front of strangers pattern...

Rena,
Yum yum... Jap curry sounds nice. Both days are ok for me.

Wavesurfer,
Hope the family has recovered... Darius looks like an angel...

Hi5 bbp and JSP, Ethan super guai outside.. at home he is a whiner.. the only times he is willing to play alone is when he just wakes up... sometimes he wakes at 6 plus and me and hubby still tired.. we carry on sleeping till 8 plus, he stil playing on his own in his cot.. we dun even wake to feed him hahaha... nite time is the worst.. step away only, he will scream and cry out loud for attention.. even put him down in his cot, has to stay around one loh...

[wavesurfer]

Thanks Qing, bbp and Rena for your well-wishes. ^^ Fortunately Darius' temperature has gone back to normal now, and we are still recovering.

erm, and i have found a venue.
it is the boutique hotel under my company.
it's at tanjong pagar.
going to open soon.
if we have a lot of people, we can use the landscape garden on the 17th floor. very nice view.
venue space is free, but need to use their catering.
are u all ok with it?

 

[badazzlee]

bbp
it didnt state any dateline.
maybe u can call and ask.
need to book in advance one

 

[1stlittlestar]

Wavesurfer, oh opps take care! Drink lots of water ah!

Hee for the big bash, we havent really tot of the logistics part Just trying to get a date and we are stucked! Just put in your preferred date and venue first then we will have to sort out the rest.

Michelle, me too hi5 with u. Bb xun can play on her own during the morning time but evening time, she is super grouchy and cranky. Dunno why. Always whining and my dad calls her bee3 pang1 (meaning bee in hokkien coz she make sound like bees like that) why ah? I keep wondering why is she like that during evening time. As if she knows my mum is super busy during that time (imagine she has to look after my 1 yo niece and 5 yo niece + prepare for dinner ... lucky the maid can cook ah else die) then she also wanna chap 1 leg be a busy bee too.

 

[1stlittlestar]

Qing great idea!!!! Sounds nice sia. Hmm but hor the catering there expensive? Got space or not? Wondering how are we gg to accomodate all bbs? SHould bring playmat there? If need playmat should need abt 2 ba .. 1 sure not enough.

 

[wavesurfer]

Qing,
Okay need to discuss with my SO on this first. ^^

The boutque hotel 17th floor landscape garden sounds great. Brand new hotel somemore~ I am imagining a picturesque party up there!

 

[wavesurfer]

Thanks for the well-wishes and information Jacelyn. Date-wise shouldn't be a concern to us; just need to confirm our attendence first before committing. ^^

 

[badazzlee]

wavesurfer
the hotel is only 4 storey,
the garden is part of the office building.

jacelyn,
the place is still on the way nia.
but by june sure ready liao.
catering wise, will discuss with my boss at the later part. when we confirm the no of people.
it is about 5000sq ft. i suppose it is enough ba?

 

[badazzlee]

wavesurfer
the party is only for immediate family,
if not will have too many people liao.
