Heheh.. Maybe together with my parents, we might just be able to do that.. *oooops*

 

[rfang]

valnsw, mine last for a month

 

[rfang]

chipchip, vone and mulberry (bab1es),
my first birth was at KKH and they have those nursing hospital wear so convenient to BF baby at ward but heard TMC did not have, so looking for it.
How much is Taka selling?

 

[mrs_n]

valnsw mine took over 2 weeks before I started feeling better. It probably took a longer time than usual because of the change in climate. I didn't dare take any medication, nor rub medicated oil like I usually do (read somewhere that camphor wasn't good when you're pregnant). I asked the MW what I could take and all she said was hot lemon and paracetamol she wouldn't let me take anything else even though my nose and throat were blocked and I was coughing away like mad. So just had to tahan. But the hot lemon with honey or sugar worked really well. It certainly helped get rid of the phlegm. I'm still taking hot lemon even though I'm already better. I think I've developed an addiction to the lemony taste.

Megan: Neck pillow no use?? I just bought one!!!

From OSIM, costs about $39!! Its a travel pillow n i thought its quite cosy...

Little twin star: im flying to Hokkaido tomorrow morning! Coming back on 1st May! hehehe..

i found the shop liao. Yes, it's still selling those Hello Kitty prints nightgowns/PJs. Price is $6.90 each.
The shop is called P&amp;Girl. It's at 2nd flr of Eastpoint Mall.

btw me also an amateur in scrapbooking lah. I also never attended any classes. When I started few years ago, I only bought 1 guide book and use it as reference...hehe..my end product also very very simple type.
Oh I read in the scrapbooking thread, they also bought materials from shop in Plaza Singapura. The prices is cheaper there?

<font color="0000ff">Gemini</font>
yeah it would be great if u bring your gal along. if i remember correctly, faeriekim's gal is also 1+ year old.
It'll be so cute to see the little kids all playing together

.

<font color="0000ff">twin stars</font>
high tea sounds good. When and where ar? Can choose those place where it starts at 12pm or 1pm ar... coz i wanna go home before 5pm to beat the rush hour crowd


To <font color="0000ff">Megan and the ladies in east gathering list</font>,
Looking at the list, it seems the common date where everyone can make it is <u>1st June</u>.
So we confirm the gathering date as 1st June ya?
If confirm, then we move on to setting the time and place.

Pls state your prefered timing and place.
I'm ok with brunch or lunch or tea time (as long as not early morning i.e. after 10am ).
Regarding place, perhaps mummies whom are bringing your kid(s) should suggest coz need a kids friendly place. Me no knowledge of that

 

[bab1es]

<font color="0000ff">NiNi</font>
wish you a great trip to Hokkaido!
remember to frequently move ard / exercise ur legs during ur flight. My gynae said preggie's blood is thicker and thus is easier to get the deep vein thrombosis.

I thought all staffs should be treated as individual?

 

[msapple]

Hi mommies,

Did I miss out anything interesting. MIA for a while, it really too many posts for me to read. Hope I never miss out anything.

BTW thanks missysz helping to add my name in the gathering list. It will be nice meeting up with the mommies.

Oh yah, can update for me. I am expecting a baby princess!!

 

[celynlee]

snow74,
i also thought its treated as individual too. till yesterday when i got response from hr then i know, we are only entitle to 5 days in total as a couple. if we were in 2 different organisation then we will get 5 days each loh. cos then they can track and trace mah. hahahha....

U and HB also same company? Me and my HB also same company but diff dept lah so HR also told us only 5 days for both of us... Haha.. so stingy...

 

[mavys_m2bagain]

Snow,
Another place I can think of is Globetrotters at United Square…

Celyn,
Only 2 days childcare leave but the other 3 days are child sick leave right? Yup, same here, couples working in my company only entitled to 5 days and not each one 5 days.

 

[celynlee]

cindy,
yah loh. but we work in 2 different places and people don't know if we never say. heheheh..... yah loh, stingy right but it could be a common practice that we didn't know. at least its good to know before hand then on the last minute when we apply.

yln,
thanks. will go OG after work to see see look look.

 

[reirei]

Annlee,
It's in Straits Times, 2nd page under Home Section.

[celynlee]

annlee,
i saw from OG website that the baby fair is only at OG albert, is it? OG orchard don't have?

 

[reirei]

Celyn,
Most companies oni have 2 days of the statutory childcare leave leh..ur company offers 5 days not bad already!

 

[celynlee]

reirei,
i think its 2 days childcare leave without MC kind and 3 days must submit MC one.

 

[krex78]

YLN, bb avenue sale for how long? i might pop by tmrw to take a look after my antenatal classes at Mt A.

for OG sale, is it only for a particular branch or all? i was at people's park OG yest and saw some nice cots. quite similar to kiddy palace, so dunno if they will be much cheaper during sale. if can get for below $300 i dun mind.

 

[dongzzz]

YLN,
im still taking ventolin, 4x daily, side effect is the heart beat is faster than normal... when i was hospitalised, i was given adalat for 2 days, but i had severe headache and vomitting until i actually cried, so gynae took away that med... you have to finish the antibiotics to clear away the infection...

when resting at home, my mum come over to cook lunch/dinner &amp; do some household chores for me during weekdays, so i stayed at home whole day, but for weekend, will go out for dinner with hubby, around 2 hrs or so, i felt so tired &amp; tummy got tight, so quickly go home...

 

[mavys_m2bagain]

Dongle,
Hope your condition improve after all the rest. Take care k?

 

[doll_puppet]

hehe...yalor, 1st June sounds so far away.

<font color="0000ff">ReiRei</font>
ya so cheap right. But the material is slightly thin. But I like it coz I very scared of heat (furthermore August is gonna be a hot month right). Especially so during confinement where we suppose not turn on the air-con.

<font color="0000ff">Snow74</font>
will give the 3rd May gathering a miss coz me prefer not go town during weekends. U gals enjoy yourself

<font color="0000ff">YLN</font>
no lah, pls don't do any vacuuming/mopping. Maybe can do ironing. But remember to sit down rest after awhile.
