storeberry,
sure, we can arrange to go together
getting excited just thinking abt it..
sure, we can arrange to go together
shazz: my MIL also gave me a lot of those fugly enamel bowls and plates. I was cursing and swearing the whole time during my confinement to my CL abt those 'tin tay' items!
bigtoes: nope, she is not preggers
sunrays/sasa: both of u bought the toys even before u gave birth?!! I'm v proud of you mommise
Dusty and crowded? So shd I bring Isaac to the ulu warehouse? Need to check with his daddy to see if we wanna drop by too!!! But I wonder what other toys he needs at this stage...I'm just looking for an Exersaucer, but I doubt Mattel has any...
Why do u say some of the toys are not in good condition? Are they defective or 'As-is' rejects by other customers?
COUSINS SHARING TOYS: For those of u parking your bbs with your PILs who are already taking care of other siblings' toddlers, do u mind the cousins playing your bb's toys? My MIL is taking care of my SIL's son which is 11 mths older than Isaac. She is one thrifty mom who doesn't splurge on branded or fanciful toys. If I bring my son's toys there, I'm sure my boisterous lil nephew will snatch it away from Isaac! I really sound like a selfish parent
I bought all these nice toys because I dun want my son to be lonely and bored when he is with grandma and grandpa......... I'm very sure my PILs will allow my nephew to play with the toys when I'm not present...haizzzz
Kym: u r really very capable as the rest'd said! I thot it's OEM as well
u shd import those bb stuffs and make a killing here!! hahah! u were in the wellness business?
IFC: I might put Isaac in a CCC too when he turns 18mths. I dun want to hv this maid stuck with us for too long...
Qiuling: it's not 1.5mth bonus. It's 0.5mth bonus to be exact
The 13th mth, aka AWS, is what the rest of the world are getting too, not just civil servants...

Flos: The toys are not defective but cos its a warehouse sale, some items inside may be missing or spolit so must check after you go home. I don't think you will have the energy to check on the spot cos some toys need to be assemble... I don;t think little Issac will like it there with his leg warmers!</font>

I was another another one of those preggy mummies who went to chiong the Mattel sale. Even asked my hubby to go 2nd round to buy more coz it was so cheap & the items sold are current, not some old stocks as they are still being sold at Toys R' Us. Now Devon is happily enjoying the toys so all that sweat is worth it.. lol.
bacon&egg
Actually not advisable to bring baby as they just set up a tent in a carpark & the place is super hot, stuffy & crowded. That time I went, really sweat like a pig but worth it, as I got great buys!

Exersaucer, you can get from First Few Years. They can only use it around 6-7 months, when they can sit. My FB stays in that thing for not more than 10 minutes each time. She prefers to be outside meddling with the attached toys.
Isabelle
Hubby brought my girl to the Hungry Caterpillar and according to him, show was really good. I'm still upset that I didn't go cos I stayed home with baby. Sigh, I used to bring her for all these activities, now lesser.
There's a show in in Jan by Act 3 'Father, Son and Ox and other Stories'. You might want to bring Isabelle.
Lilboymum
Did you try Vitakids and Brown Rice Paradise? They may have it.

haha me also KS, bought quite alot of FP toys at the toys warehouse sale when preggers. It is half the price or slightly more than half even! BUT it is really a dusty place.. not for babies really! Saw some mummies bringing batteries to try toys. I thought I tried most but ended up with a few faulty toys myself sigh.. but overall very good bargains! Just throw away the torn dusty boxes, try the toys and grab it!!
Isabelle - nice to hear you are surviving and even got time to go out with hubbs.. so precious right those times? Hee, now with new helper our time alone even more scarce!
Kymkym - you see on sat lor! Basically I already feel very blessed, don't need to train as she looked after my cousin's baby from birth to 2 yrs. Cooks well and learns very fast, got initiative too. But nobody's perfect la... I'm sure there will be things I will not be happy with and have to give and take lor..
autumn - such a happy girl you have!
Storeberry - another brave mummy to dress your boy in pink! Cool mom ya!

flos, u're not selfish la. i'm sure if your sil isn't such a niao person/if she hasn't been trying to freeload off u, u won't mind her son playing with the toys u bought at all. it's nice to share but if every time only i buy and u come and share, then i think everyone also will be quite buay song.

alabone: Oh yah, I thought about this a long time ago...
if u r in the private sector, and if your colleagues & bosses are in your loop, make sure u dun comment too promptly on FB during office hours. IT's ok to be active on FB during your maternity leave. You dun wanna project an image that you're all too obsessed with motherhood. E.g. "So & So commented on So & So's photo "what a cute toy!". You'll be the first to be axed.
Once I caught my colleague who claimed to be telecommuting at home commenting on frens' photos on FB (got time recorded!) during office hours...
You may wanna restrict viewing of certain photo albums to your bosses. You dun want her to keep seeing you appear and tagged in those Sept Mommies gatherings, else ngeow bosses might find excuses to nitpick on you, "wah, so free ah? always going out with mommies, no need to work ah?".
Also, change the settings that u will receive an email informing u about third parties commenting on each other's walls/photos.
If possible, make yourself 'invisible' from any people search...your principal might be bored one day and start to search for all your names. She will be able to penetrate thru your network, your newsfeeds and all the albums to see what this staff has been up to!

Mei: I must hv missed out on all your ravings abt the previous Mattel Sale during my pregnancy!! Guess I wasn't all too interested in toys then
Where on earth is this Lok Yang way? Loyang is it? Sounds worse than Kaki Bukit!
Springz: how to test certain large toys like th playgym and rockers with batteries? they need to be assembled, so meaning u will hv to open the package and wouldn't that be a mess for the next customer?
sunnysunny: Yep, I saw them at FFY. Thanks! I'm not in a hurry to buy it now...cos bb is only 11 weeks old today.
lilboymom/xuanting: I guess I'll just hv to limit the no. of toys I bring there la...
Ignorance abt toys-I suppose I need to read up more abt toys from now on! I dunno so many toy trademarks and what they are for *_*

See la, now the lights and sound doesn't change when baby kicks it.. sigh.. either that or I assemble wrongly! haha I've seen ppl returning with spoilt toys for exchange..

shazz,
My elect bill also shot up to $330 this month (after the 21% increase in rates). We think it's partly due to the higher air-con usage during confinement but still amazed it can be so much. Usual is around $200 for 3 adults+1 tot. Am definitely going to monitor this.
isabelle,
I like the idea of a tot's gathering. J is ok with Barney but more interested in Mickey mouse.
kym,
New maid much better than the old one!! I will definitely consider Indo again next time.
IFC:
I am an advocate of IFC. Somebody asked what kind of educational stimulation --- besides feeding/sleeping/bathing, they do reading, songs, gym activities, kindermusik etc. Development assessment checks done every 6 mths. NO TV. They also encourage self-help skills once they are older. Same things that can also be done by PILs if they bother too. (Mine don't). The ratio is 1:3 for my chosen IFC. 1/3 of someone's attention is not the most ideal but neither do I want my bb to grow up with the idea of instant gratification. Like having a maid, IFC can also be a heng-suay thing. U hv to go in with your eyes wide open.
TEATS:
Jonas is still on Pigeon S. Tried to switch it to M 2 weeks back but it's too fast for him. Can't swallow in time causing a lot of wastage as it leaked from the side of his mouth. By the way, I think there is no major hurry to switch if your bbs are drinking fast enough. My 28 month tot is still using NUK 0-6 mth teat cos the 6-18mth teat is so flat and difficult for him to suck.

By the way, I think there is no major hurry to switch if your bbs are drinking fast enough. My 28 month tot is still using NUK 0-6 mth teat cos the 6-18mth teat is so flat and difficult for him to suck.

No worries abt ur gal not being able to lift her head up for the first few times. My gal managed when she is less than a month, but after several tries cos I let her lie on her tummy since very young. Give ur gal some time, and use some rattles / call out her name when she is lying on her tummy. She will be motivated to do so, and her head will automatically look to you
Jia you!

Yeap, I want to join you all for the chiong! So exciting, I think it's better to go on the first day, more stuff to get!!

I can understand how u feel, my bills also lingering in the 200 range, even though our water and electricity usage went down, the bill is still too high! Cos of per kilowatt cost that went up.. Shouldn't there be more help since a lot of low-income familes sure can't cope with the high inflation + retrenchment fears..
