yet to feel any kicks yet
sometimes can feel gaseous movement but not sure if its baby or gas.
v brief... i try to feel it when lying down but also cannot feel any significant movement. Cant wait to feel my baby
Storeberry, Shazz, SarahMay
Me looking forward to feeling the baby
This morning i suddenly thought of how the pregnant Elizabeth feel when the pregnant Mary visits her... Her baby (JOhn the Baptist) leaps inside her womb when he knows the Messiah is visiting him... keke... So amazing... Baby also got feeling of the exterior environment. Be sure we behave ourselves so as not to affect bb negatively

jessi,
we are talking abt glutinous rice wine, "nuo mi jiu". it's totally a diff thing from bai mi jiu, coz bai mi jiu is stronger.. =P
stef&seanbabes,
atas is a malay word for upper, which means upper class/high class in local context.
i think one is really atas when he/she really carries him/herself with substance n feels good abt being true/naked to others. and doesnt need any other worldly materials to feel secured. i've seen many humble lawyers or doctors n bizmen, and can really feel at ease with them sharing abt things tat are real n happening in their lives, like family, frenz, work, loved ones...etc.
to me, tat's really atas from within... =)
oh, i was watching CNA just now, and saw the pastry chief tat u all talked abt last evening.. i think he prepared some olive n strawberry pastry? looks yummy... =P i think his name is piere hemme or something...(sorry i'm not good at rmb-ing names anymore...kekeke)

Wah...so envious of your push gifts...i think the only push gift i got was a yell in my ear to "PUSH"...sigh..think we'll just be using a normal backpack for diaper bag. then hb can carry it, not me!
l'ilCY
I can totally empathise with your hb's plight in sec school. lucky for me sec 3 and sec 4 were a blast. I still meet my classmates for lunch and gatherings at least 2-3 times a yr. we're quite tight as a class, cos a classmate passed away and i think the vigils and memorials etc bonded us quite tightly. even tho we were in schook, like 19-20 yrs back...!
Our school has a rep for creating career women rather than wives and moms type, but in our class, we have at last 25+ kids between us already...
haha...

Ava: you are darn funnY!!! And your DH "siam" very fast! Haha..
Yah, I doubt hubby will buy any push gifts cos he is the practical type unless I "ten" him to buy.. kekeke... I think I will just buy a big bag to put in, regretted not buying one more of the naraya diaper bag when I was in BKK last yr... Any recommendation for diaper bag?
Shazz: That's a good deal!! I would have grab it if I have known! haha... So coincidence that you & sarah may know each other! The world is so small...
Mrs Yap: Your DH must have an unforgettable experience! Kekek...The custom people never see breast pump before?

crayonshinchan:
is tanjong katong pri school a good school ? i will be moving somewhere there (Tembeling road) end of this yr. Moving cos i wanted my gal and boy to enter TaoNan Pri school. but the place where i'll be moving to is slightly off 1km from taonan.. but within 1km from tanjong katong pri and haig girls.
so thinking of a 2nd choice if my gal is not able to get in TaoNan.

Practical hbs
Storeberry, my hb bought me a set of side tables for valentines day many many yrs ago...not v romantic, but v practical. plus the money went to deaf & dumb charity..
Anyway, can't complain lah, he threw me a surprise b'day party 2 yrs ago...I've never done anything like that for hm
Stef&Seanbabes
4-in-1 present sounds like a good idea leh...! Nice taste he has too
Speaking of coincidences

xuanmommy:
Thanks for including me int he baby table. My gynae is Paul Tseng. He delivered my girl too. He's very pro-natural birth, that's why we chose him. I remembered I was all over the birth suite until the mid wives were about to handcuff me to the bed.
Push gifts: Don't request, just walk into the boutique and buy it. Hee..ee you get what you want without having to drop any hints. I gave up hinting cos hubby very good at acting blur.
Atas school: I don't think sending children to Chlitern or Eton is consider atas, to each his own right? I used to do free lance work in pre-schools/childcares and to be honest the quality of teachers, the way they treat the kids and the hygiene of the place are scary. I've been to this center where before you step into the toilet you smell urine. Eeeks!

goldfish, i think u mean kaki bukit? the name is the industrial park is called Shun Li Ind. i used to work a few streets away from there, and they indeed hv quite a showroom there. but their prices are more or less the same as those @ the shopping malls unless there's a promotion.
but u are allowed to leave your contact behind so tat they can call u when there's a promo! so that's quite good lor! =)

tanjong katong supposed to be a good school and there are seriously MANY different nationalities there. Last yr they appeared in the news during the P1 registration period.. cos pple pitched tents and queued up even though there was thunderstorm. But Tao Nan oso good school..hee.. air conditioned hall.. Haig girls I am not so sure though...
haaa. stef&Seanbabes, my hb is worst! he doesnt buy me presents for anni, birthdays, v day, xmas day etc. Thats for the past ermmm 13yrs lar... So I guess his supposedly push gift for me will be 13 x 4 in 1... heeee...

So funny.. but I guess that they are more cautious now with regards to customs issues.
stef&seanbabes
I used to study in Haig Girls' School.
My friend bought her stroller & car seat from Baby Kingdom at Kaki Bukit & the people there told her there'll be a sale in June, so we can check it out then.

Mei, if i hv only girls, i will definetely put my girls in Haig girls as it's just like 5 mins walk from my new place. but i hv one gal (4 yrs) and a boy (2 yrs). dun wan to go thru the hassel of choosing schools again when it's my son's turn. i will just put my boy wherever my gal is. so hv to choose a co-ed pri school

Hi HI,
XuanMummy, could you pls update my details? I'm expecting a Prince (he flashed his unmistakeable birdie at all of us at the 17th week scan). Was a little disappointed cos was really hoping that #3 would be a girl (my DD is real affectionate, compared to my DS) but well, most importantly, I'm praying for a healthy and happy baby boi, who will be obedient and filial to us. Thanks!
BB Gender: Boy
Hospital: Mt. Alvernia
Gynae: Cathryn Chan
Edd: Very late Sep
Stef&Seanbabes, I'm currently staying within 1km of Tao Nan. But even then, I must pray hard for the twins to get in, cos usually when u wait till the last phase (1KM diameter), the places are quite few. I was from SCGS so it's no prob getting my DD in there but that's all the way in BKT Timah and I don't want to separate the twins, so Tao Nan's the best choice.
As for push-gift, hubby got me Rolex after I delivered the twins last yr. Don't think I will ask him to get me anything else for this pregnancy cos' with 3 kids, I would rather any $ be channelled back to them. In fact, I hardly spend $ on myself nowadays, and whatever purchases I make are mostly for the kids.

A ROLEX!!!!!!
Sigh...I just asked my hb to take over new car loan repayments so he can say he bought me a new car for carrying the twins...no such luck LOL!!!
Was speaking to a freidn yest who has twin sisters. she said the best thing their parents did was to separate them into differetn schools (at sec level) so that they could be their own person. Now they are still really close and best friends to one another...! Hope the same goes for our twins too!

Ava,
really?? u can roar like boys? wah, like tat you must warn your gynae n midwife during labor liao.. =P
i screamed so much during the first part until i was so exhausted tat my eyes rolled.. and i just didnt hv any more strength left to squeeze my hubby's hands and i hv to ask him to squeeze my hand instead.. i was like a poor baby screaming for help on the bed, and my hubby just kept sayang-ing my head! hahaha!!! so funnie lor! coz my hubby is not the expressive type...
ya, true, it's those wannabes who are making the most noise abt being atas... kekeke!!!

stef,
during the last visit, my BB's position was not facing us, so gynae said it's hard to see then. but she did try to "see" it from the bottom-up view, and we did see "something" there, but she said tat might be the umbilical cord... we were like, wa lau!!!" hahahaha..... =P
in the end, she also gave up and said beta wait for the DS 4weeks later la... we were like arrrrghhh... =P i'm more concerned for hubby coz i know he wants a boy this time! he even said i will get to stay in 1-bedded room if it's a boy! i know he is joking la, coz he knows i will reject it, coz i rather spend the $$ on the kids!
just like J&Smum, i seldom buy things for myself since i noe i'm preggie again! i rather save and bring the kids to tour when this second one can walk. my girl who is 20mths old enjoyed Perth alot when we were there last week, n i'm so happy tat we made the right choice to choose Aust. she loves the lambs n kangaroos on the farm there. =)

J&Smum,
so ur twins are one gal and boy? lucky you! ao what made u want to hv the 3rd one?
for me, it's accident
congrats on ur mickey!! i'm hoping my 3rd baby is a mickey. cos i find boys easier to look after.
much better appetite. i dun hv to run all over the house chasing him with a spoonful of rice. but for my gal, it's different, i hv to plead and beg with her to eat and when she was younger, i had to chase her round the house with a spoonful of rice
my boy is also v affectionate. i think it really depends on the child's character whether or not he/she is affectionate. who knows, maybe ur 3rd one who is a boy turns out to be as affectionate as ur gal ?
i'm also a twin. i studied in same Pri and Sec school as my twin sis. but when we entered JC, we chose different JCs
finally, i dun hear pple calling me by my sis's name..

lilboymum: hmm, better not reveal too much lest my ex-principal comes after me!
crayon: yep yep, that Tg Katong Pr is supposed to be very popular amongs expats who live in the East, and whose companies have no int'l school allowance for them. It's a real steal for these angmohs. I saw the maids queueing up for their masters and mistresses last yr!!
TPY has some pretty good schools too right?
stef&seanbabes: hey, Taonan would be a better school than Tg Katong IMO. If you're moving to Tembeling, then most likely u can get into either schools, I suspect
I've asked for diamonds too, but thought since I'm not into jewellery, I might want to change that to an exotic tour.
aloevera: you're a SAHM? You can catch CNA? I wonder how the deserts are at Mezza9 last nite!! must ask sunrays...Actually, can visit his patisserie in Tokyo too
ava: u sure are FUNNY!!!! " think the only push gift i got was a yell in my ear to "PUSH"!!!!!!
Your ex-classmates are really close-knit. I only maintain contact with them via FACEBOOK. Many of them are shunning renuions cos they hvn't found their soulmate or haven't got any kids yet. Social stigma?
sasa de mouse: do u think busy and famous docs like Dr Cheng will rush down to deliver in the middle of the nite for us? Or does he normally ask u to book an appt with him for c-section or induced birth?
Mrs Yap: why are the customs officers surprised to see those breast pumps? Need Mr Yap to demo?!!! MUAHHAHAHAHA!
Bbmouse: See!! I know the concentration of 'elite' schools around that area
Good for u then, u dun find to fend with the volunteers nor donate any dollar to the school to get enrolled.
Diaper bags...u read my mind well. I already spotted one LV bag online but wondering if the LV boutique here sells Diaper Bags at all. Chanel's Cambon diaper bags are known to be used by hollywood stars too.
Mei: did u see LV diaper bag in the stores in SG? Must I go to Paris or HK for it?!!!
Whoa...so many Bt Timah dwellers in this thread...that makes many of you millionaires!! kekke! Must hv made a pile in the last property bullrun, eh?
But actually, based on my knowledge of BT, there are only houses, which cost over $3mil at least. There aren't apts/condos within that vicinity right? If yes, it'll be off-BT liao, like Bt Gombak, Bt Batok?
sarahMay: sure thing, please add me, but I hardly log on to that a/c in the daytime.
I haven't decided on my push gift either, so fret not! Hey, u mentioned "Just have to pray that bb timing is 'zun' and his leave will coincide with it." Is your hb going to be posted back? My hb has spoken to his bosses and HR and they are working to transfer his 'headcount' bk to the SG Regional Office, meaning he still needs to fly OUT OF SG regularly, instead of fly OUT OF SHANGHAI, his current RHQ...but it's better than to be based far away from wife and babe.
FYI, that school that I mentioned, or so I was told by that fren of mine, doesn't give kids homework. Do u think it's true? No homework? Just play and play? Hmmm...what a great school!!
Actually, atas schools = good schools. I never thought JCs like, say NJC or TJC as atas. They are good schools though.
Scholars, diplomats, ministers: hmm...been working with them and find that they are really intelligent creatures, excellent memory, honest/righteous...but not all are dynamic and charismatic. Something is still missing...better dun talk too much here, in case I get myself implicated
sunnysunny: I am tempted to just walk into the LV boutique and purchase the bag, that's it! Anyway, my credit card bills are all borne by my ah lao...
Chiltern and Eton are supposed to cost more, therefore only the rich can afford. When only the rich send their kids there, it becomes an atas school.
crayon: u need to push your hb for one push gift.
goldfish: why ask for a plush toy as push gift when u could ask for a posh toy? KEKKE!
It's close to lunch time...mommy is hungry yet again.

Whoa...so many Bt Timah dwellers in this thread...that makes many of you millionaires!! kekke! Must hv made a pile in the last property bullrun, eh?
sarahMay: sure thing, please add me, but I hardly log on to that a/c in the daytime.
I haven't decided on my push gift either, so fret not! Hey, u mentioned "Just have to pray that bb timing is 'zun' and his leave will coincide with it." Is your hb going to be posted back? My hb has spoken to his bosses and HR and they are working to transfer his 'headcount' bk to the SG Regional Office, meaning he still needs to fly OUT OF SG regularly, instead of fly OUT OF SHANGHAI, his current RHQ...but it's better than to be based far away from wife and babe.
FYI, that school that I mentioned, or so I was told by that fren of mine, doesn't give kids homework. Do u think it's true? No homework? Just play and play? Hmmm...what a great school!!
Actually, atas schools = good schools. I never thought JCs like, say NJC or TJC as atas. They are good schools though.
Scholars, diplomats, ministers: hmm...been working with them and find that they are really intelligent creatures, excellent memory, honest/righteous...but not all are dynamic and charismatic. Something is still missing...better dun talk too much here, in case I get myself implicated
sunnysunny: I am tempted to just walk into the LV boutique and purchase the bag, that's it! Anyway, my credit card bills are all borne by my ah lao...
Chiltern and Eton are supposed to cost more, therefore only the rich can afford. When only the rich send their kids there, it becomes an atas school.
crayon: u need to push your hb for one push gift.
goldfish: why ask for a plush toy as push gift when u could ask for a posh toy? KEKKE!
It's close to lunch time...mommy is hungry yet again.
aloevera, I had also wanted to take the twins to Perth this yr, after they turn 18 months, but that was before I knew I'm preggers again. Now, got to wait till #3 can walk, which is probably next Nov-Dec ('09)....HUbby & I want to take them somewhere where we can do self-drive and that they will be exposed to nature i.e. sheep, cows, orchards and all, so either NZ or Aus wld be good.
Wow...didn't knw so many mummies here also ask for pregnancy gifts...tot I was the only one who is always 'demanding' pressies!! Haha..
For my birthday and for being pregnant, I got a Chopard Happy Diamond watch and a LV bag frm hb.. Push gift i rather he buy the Bugaboo Bee stroller for baby..

Waste of $$ i knw but the shoes really very cute!! All bot frm Florence's Gucci outlet store so it's cheap!!

Stef&Seanbabes, my twins are fraternal so I don't think anyone can ever mix them up
Gor Gor looks like me while Mei Mei looks more like hubby. #3 was not an accident, but just a blessing which came early. We struck bingo on our 1st try around our twins' 1st yr bday, when we had actually thought it would take ard 6 months before we got lucky.
And you're right. My boy eats just abt anything (I can't for the world of me, think of anything which he doesn't eat), whereas my DD is a very fussy eater, who spits out almost everything. It's such a nightmare trying to feed her. Becos she doesn't take as much solids, I've to make sure she takes Pediasure to supplement her diet. But even then, she's still taller and heavier than her Gor Gor. How old are your #1 and #2 now?
Actually, I'm really very worried about having 2 boys. Heard and seen so many cases of boys not being as filial. U know, even for my hubby and my frens' hubbies, after they got gf, and get married, they tend to be close to the girl's side, neglecting their own parents. On Vday, you can see all those young chaps, still fresh-faced, in secondary school, splashing $ on gifts and flowers on the girls. So heart-pain, if I were to know that my sons spend the pocket-$ I give them on frivolous items for girls....I know I double-std lah, cos I had enjoyed such gifts from bfs before, and I also wouldn't mind my DD being lavished with gifts from admirers. But sons, diff. ... and I also think if next time they seldom come home for dinner but spend all their time with gf/wives'/PILs....Reckon that I am thinking too much?

I'm quite a multi-tasker, albeit not quite perfect and accurate one. As I reply here, I am also answering phone calls and replying to emails! I also lift my head up to talk to colleagues nearby when they ask me questions.
Therefore, u notice I tend to miss out some key points every now and then, and dun really follow the rules of grammar!!!

Toh Yi also near BT lah..the only hdb near that area hahaha...
i thnk there are some condos there if im not wrong?but i must say, i hate the traffic at BT..some taitais are really bad drivers, they uturn at 10km/hr into the first lane with approaching vehicles travelling at 90km/hr...sianz...scary place to drive for me.
for normal upper management, you must have intelligent ones, but not too many charismatic ones. these are reserved for the very top few positions in the cty. we cannot have too many Machiavellis around leh...

me too .... had epi after could not dilate properly...
Re: Boys and girlfriend/wife
I think it really depends on bond between son and parents. Can't help them spending money and time on girls lah...I mean u'd want that as the girl right?
my DH says he was taught a very impt lesson by his father...you can spoil and treat the girl, but never oversell her to your parents (e.g. say "she's soooo wonderful and the best thing in my life etc") so that will appease parents who may be feeling neglected. then, when married, you must be the person to bridge the wife and parents...as in don't be stupid to take only one side. that way wife will not be angry or resentful of MIL and MIL will also love the DIL...he is a very good practitioner of this advice i think
About spending money, he went overbudget during our first yr of dating...cos we had suppers all the time at Denny's at HV (near NUS mah) but then, he also learnt to budget properly after that
that's why no push gifts.... lol

Flos: We went to see the LV diaper bag when we're looking around for one. It comes in the mini lin colour, and one other colour. It looks like a cabin or overnight bag - a bit bulky and it costs more than 3k!
I bot the Gucci one cos I saw angelina jolie and brad pitt carrying it in one of the fashion covers..

J&Smum,

i love to see his flesh
my hubby would like a gal this time round. he says, if u hv a daughter, next time we will gain a son-in-law. but if u have a son, next time, we will lose a son. hmm.. i guess it's quite true nowadays..

i think you are lucky to have your boy so 'guai'..think most boys arent like that.
for my boy, hahahaha...eat ah!!! forget it...
he hates meal times, i cant beg him to eat one. he will either vomit it out or simply refuse. i dun chase him around to eat, coz it's futile.
one incident...i returned to work when my boy was 5.5mths old. he totally refused the bottle. he went on 12hours without milk. only managed to get sme nutrients from sucking his fingers i think. cannot spoonfeed, refused his cereals...weight dropped from 10th percentile to 3rd percentile in one month, and by his 8th month chekcup at PD, he's gone off the chart...
i stopped work after he turned 1 year, coz too mych stress. he needs many nightfeeds (was bfg and PD advise me to feed at night coz he wouldnt take bottle in the day), and i wake up so early to work...
that is my boy for you...
i believe boys listen to wives after they are married..haha...coz hm hb listens to me but that to me is foregone oredi, so i just take it that my son will be married and his wife's property next time...
