[celynlee]

april,
i just email you.

mummygiraffe,
i don't know leh. his rashes is better now. only left the hands and legs. face one all cleared liao.

 

[apriltan]

Vern,

Any updates on the playyard??

 

[rona]

Ruixuan,
am also interested to go DP one again...

 

[rona]

this time round, i must go see their props and going to bring my snow white dwarfs collection and big teddy bear along. the big flower pot is too ex... maybe a potty?

 

[valnsw]

Any mummy ever bought the Bugslock band from this BP seller called ylc?

I remember a few aug mummies bought.

I just opened the packaging of the bugslock and I found the part that is supposed to fasten it, has broken!
Any mummy also had the same prob as me?

Now I cannot use the Bugslock band around my girl's ankle. Have to put it in the room instead, hope it can repell the mozzies.

She kena 2 red bites behind her ear and neck, lucky not obvious for tdy's PS.

 

[rona]

giraffe,
jerold's eye recovered. the medicine very effective. he is 8.8kg and 70cm tall, around 80%tile, but he was 3.6kg at birth. was 8.3kg already at 5mths old and now 7 mths old only put on half kg. haiz, have to console myself that he is healthy lor. but at the rate he is growing, don't think he will hit 3x his birth weight when he is a year old... doc not worried but did mention that 500g in 2 mths is a little low.
How are you? have not heard from you for so long. back is better now? how are your gals?

Krex,
jia you! don't give up on pumping yet ok? you can cut down to suit your time, but if you can pump enough for just one feed is also good. remember your revised aim? and now you have 2 pumps which are as good as new ones!

me too, very tired pumping... and i've been dragging the time to like 10 hours even. have been going to work late, so my boss is ttrkking the time and taking my leaves off to be fair to the office. will try to improve my timing. very bad to keep going to the office late.

sylvia,
yah man, very tiring. pump and watch at the same time so don't waste time. but i can just watch and watch until i buay tahan and dozed off in front of the tv... bad...

 

[tigg3r]

Giraffe

Dun have if pearl barley can or not leh! Why dun you check with the chinese medical hall? They can probably give you a better answer..

 

[hisstory]

<font color="#CD3278">M2B</font>
My hb also has to start travelling freq fr now on.. He oredi had to put on hold his trips when Ashley was a newborn, so cannot tell his boss to wait liao.. *haiz*

<font color="#CD3278">val</font>
Sounds like u're the one who wld be really exhausted aft the shoot today? Chevelle too??

 

[valnsw]

hisstory,
i'm exhausted, but so is Chevelle. She fell asleep on my mum's shoulder when she was carrying her outside to stroll. Then she woke up, I quickly changed her diaper and let her drink her last milk for the day and let her sleep.

During the PS, I had to pull many stunts to get her to look up. THen whether smiled in front of the cam, depends on her mood. So I really super tired.
*keeping fingers crossed that miracle will happen like the past 2 days*

oh ya, abt the dry run, I need to put Chevelle at my parents' place while I'm out in the day, so want to train her up on the sleep/wake times.

oh dear, if your hb is going to be travelling frquently, then who's gona help you take care? Then u better pray hope Ashley sleeps thru the night. Plus u gotta wake up early for school right?

I also dunno how when my hb does start travelling when I do start work. Either I cab down &amp; back to work really early, or ask my dad to pick Ashley up. We're now going to monitor how things go, may even consider bb sitter

 

[oven]

April
sorry babe.. no update as yet, will have to wait till Apr lor..

 

[dardar63]

Hi everyone ...
am back in the forum.. hahaha. but i havent been able to read up on the past post.. i figured it would take too long. so anything i missed ?

we had a good time. bernice was fine on flight.. no major problems. even thou she didnt want to latch or drink on one of the take offs she was still ok. only abit cranky with the lack of space to sleep but was ok. shopping was super ex but still bought 2 LV bags - the neverfull damier medium and small size. 2 burberry blue label and 1 burberry baby backpack for her. hahaha. and of cos lots of HK stuff and disney too.

disney was abit of a disappointment cos it was so windy and cold. and it rained so we didnt do much there.

hokkaido was very beautiful. it was snowing the day we were leaving there. food is great. we spent almost 2K just on food alone. hahaha. And thankfully we didnt have to pay for excess luggage. we went in 5 bags and came back with 8 !!bought 2 extra luggages to put all the shopping !!

i havent finished sorting them all out yet and my house now is sooo messy.

 

[rona]

cat,
what is HK stuff? HK is for?

 

[yoyo06]

rona: HK is hello kitty. I think

 

[dardar63]

hahah .. ya HK = hello kitty.

hashisan, any summary of what happen on forum last 10 days ? haha

 

[tigg3r]

Cat,
wow, lots of shopping! envy leh! just log in to check my bank account, like very low liao. don't know how come. still got to pay for all the insurance policies that's coming due. sian... haiz... is LV there cheaper then singapore? Last year i din't get any blue label for myself, didn't see anything that i like. so i came back with quite a lot of yen leftover and now i think i made some money if i convert back to sgd. but i think my korean won is getting worthless.

 

[rona]

LTS,
your maid kept socializing huh? very chaim like that, when you need her and she can just kept yakking away. does she have any off days? talk on the mobile? how long is she with you now?

Shint,
how's the maid hunting? you gotten maid liao? how is she?

 

[dardar63]

rona,
hmmm not sure if it's cheaper. but i heard from one of the group mates that he say 10% cheaper. he spent like S$20K in the LV alone. I only spent $2.4K. hahaha. I bought the neverfull damier which suppose to be only avail in japan and europe. but the salesgirl told me will be avail in SG soon. So not sure. aiya .. travel just buy la dont think too much. The current burberry blue label not very nice. but also just buy la. come back then decide. hahaha
