Yah, once wet has to change. But it's supposedly good for environment and very good for baby.
Malaysian address
Anyone here has a Malaysian address? Okay, here's the story. I bought something from Ebay and the stupid seller charges me US$35 for shipping! From Malaysia to singapore, no less! I am thinking of getting her to ship to M'sia and then that kind person in M'sia will ship the dress to me. I'll pay S$10 for service charge to that kind person even. Just don't want to pay the stupid seller. Anyone?

vanilla,
not brave.. i'm scared shitless. last time dun work still can survive, now got baby and need money to pay for everything, so.. not brave but it's necessary. dun think mil is coping.. poor mil is exhausted. sigh. i feel i appreciate everyone and bb alot more when i go back to work too
bbgoh,
old school of thought, it must be very frustrating for u though. thats what i told mil.. i even bought a parent mag that says 6 months then start semi solids and went 'oh look, here's what the doc recommends.. interesting..'.. it's reminding her in a nice way. my mil is great but i think the older generation has their own ways of doing things. your fil sounds damn overprotective.
pinkimum,
we are our own worst enemies.. women, mother, warriors. i would get jealous too.. now already sil i feel .. erm.. rotten already. can u imagine with a helper? i'm not ready for helpers.. unless i have two and i'm earning enough to have one. then i'ld send her over with my kiddles to re
lili,
bumwear has the reusable cloth nappy right? i saw their stuff at novena, nice.
no idea how to sling, i put abby in front when i have to do the dishes or need both hands for sometime, she just.. hangs in there. thats why i think maybe a carrier better.
mspiggy,
next time i'ld try the profiterole! which flavour nice?
Karen,
orders have been placed.
1 tray of 12 eclairs $4.00+ 1/2 box of 21 mini rolls (strawberry) $10.70 - total = 14.70
you can transfer funds over to my acc or you can pass me cash, i'ld leave it up to u. i'ld bring them down on sat.
The other mommies,
i'm bringing a box of strawberry mini rolls down to the gathering so we can all try. hehehehheeee
k back to work.
p.s. i'm calling around companies for food or product / sample sponsorship to put into our goodie bag for the charity event. if anyone knows of a company who doesn't mind the publicity and help our a vwo, let me know.

No sparks ah? Nvm, this sat got chance for many dian4 lai2 dian4 qu4.

Till 25?! You're so patient! Sometimes I think the western model rocks. 18 and you're on yr own. Dont expect me to pay for yr Uni. Want to study abroad? Get a scholarship or loan. I can give loan but no free sponsorship lor. Sometimes it annoys me to see teenagers who claim its their right to get an overseas education from their parents. Sometimes even when parents not rich they can suggest selling the flat, wah lau too much.
Parents and in-laws
I guess we are all brought up differently. Some v protective, some u yrself go sink or swim. And when hub and wife have v different upbringing, gotta really discuss parenting style for bb.
Bbgoh
try to take a deep breath and ignore. That's what I do with my mum. I thot I would be pro at tuning out her nagging but sometimes it still annoys me like mad. gotta pray pray pray for more patience!

Yup I miss my old life too... Sometimes I'm amazed at those mummies' blogs where they like totally love love love their new life and baby to death. For me, its meaningful some days and I'm sure will be fulfilling and very aww- inspiring when they talk and say they love u etc, but every kid becomes a teenager and we all know that stage is usully not pretty. So we gotta brace ourselves. But right now, just enjoy whatever moment we can enjoy....
mummies
I'm sure I'll get retribution some day for all the eye-rolling and death glares I give out now in response to nagging and crazy views. Or maybe I will be a great enlightened mum next time and never nag or try to impose ridiculous parenting styles on my grandkids. What scares me is that we are more like our parents than we care to admit. Yikes.

I enjoyed working in the previous company very much esp when I discovered i'm pregnant after joining them for less than 2 weeks, they kept telling me not to over stress myself and to take good care of my health and bb. Feel bad when after my ML and told them I need to resign cos the infant center which I put my son din do a good job in looking after him. Once again, they were very understanding towards my situation. </font>

PIldough and Tweety,
Big hugs. You're not alone.
It's really hard emotionally to be a working mum. I feel disappointed if bb is asleep by the time I get home, and yes I feel very sad and jealous when sometimes I try to cuddle him to sleep and he won't stop crying until the maid holds him.
Sigh. At the same time, being a full-time mum is totally exhausting. I wish there more half day jobs existed, but there isn't in my line. Hard to have it all huh...

Lili,
Ya, now I try to wake up a little earlier every morning to get some "face time" with him. Every little bit helps I guess.

karen,
Are you using normal diaper cloth? Need to use the nappy liner? Does it soak through and wet the clothes huh? I just read the bumwear website that diapers babies will be toilet-trained earlier, thought quite good leh.
dimpletot,
I am also amazed that some mummies are so in love with their new life with babies. I mean I love my boy lah, but sometimes I also feel very sian looking after him. Hehe. Then everything is about him, from bedtime to mealtime to going out time. I wonder if I will appreciate him more if I am working. But maybe there will be another set of complaints.
