Bladers:
Kaya said to try BK. I will be calling them later. I think your cot is similar to mine. 23" x 43" have meh? Where?
Jenn:
If not enuff then we find someone's spree to join lor... but I think the Kitty-something person seems to be more reliable than the others. Anyway hor, Borderlinx can combine from different merchants up to 1 mth. So we can actually ship Babymall, Drugstore, etc together to save shipping. But muz meet each indiv store's min lah... unless their local shipping is cheap.
Enne:
4 Oz can use how long huh?
wtan:
Oh they said its suitable de... but I think I will listen to you all and save the money... use those cheaper kind.
Spin:
Morning spin....
Vincy:
Just email me or pm me or sms me the total amt of wad u want from each store. If we got enuff then I will go order.
Jo:
According to the what I read in the forums. It seems that the stuff are cheap and good. Actually first few years are also selling Babymall stuff but at double (or more) the price.
Milderina:
I oso dunno wor... until bear told me... Postage no problem lah... Can be arranged de... Small issue... only worry is if not registered then I scared lost... I do have some doubts over how good Singpost is recently when they kept delivering some unknown person's mail (with different unit no that does not exist) to my mailbox and oso my mail to my neighbour's mailbox.
Why Monday blue? Surf more shopping sites not blue liao

morning mummies: my monster woke me up couple of times last nite w his coughing but donno y, i still feel quite happy. maybe cos his brothers were merrily kicking away the whole weekend so i know they r still there. or more becos it's 4 weeks to my MC! yay.
fifi: u r so sweet. thanks so much. i think i 1 person already can make up the drugstore quota becos their shipping is free w only US$25. but i better leave some space for the other mummies. i'll email u during lunch time, ok?
alibaba: yah boy, i sure am looking forward to my MC. just makan, tidur, makan, tidur.
bibi: congrats. the liners r so cheap. i shd have tumpang u just one box
u r not buying anymore cloth nappies?
Jo: yours even huger than alibaba. more than twice of mine.
wtan, Jo, bladers: i don't attend even my own relatives. my aunt died last week & my dad asked me to go but my husband & my mum told me not to & my mum scolded my dad. she said just give money good enough. even for my first pregnancy, i didn't attend wakes & funerals.
Bear: yah lah, next time better include us in your crab feast. update us on your DS afterwards hor.

Minky:
Skiving time?
Milderina:
Yah. So wadever you all email hor... i can only check at night.
Lilian:
The chinatown one is a small shop. Most things is order from catelog. Nothing much to browse de... Size of the shop is like a normal provision shop size.
I will call BK later.
Yen:
I think hor, last time cot is any size oso can de... recently then abit more standard... Tailor make will be very ex wor. If I cannot get new one, I would probably get a mattress protector to cover it. Get a bit bigger and tuck below the mattress.

Drugstore easy... Coz I realised that desitin is a free shipping item. i.e. as long as we buy desitin, the whole cart will be free shipping. But no matter how, lets try to combine all the different merchants so that we get about US$200 of stuff to make our US-SIN shipping charges most economical.

The sides of the vaginal is v itchy, so last time my GP prescribed Zaricot, which I find it v v useful. I applied for about 2 days, and the itch is almost gone. But.... I still have milky discharge, which I suspect is infection. U know, someting like yeast infection, looks like cheese kind. Sorry to sound gross early in the morning.

hi mummies,
hope you all had a nice weekend! thanks for the tip bout gettin to Kaki Bakit. Think we will just use e street directory when we plan to go. => hubby gota read the map, i drive. i am hopeless at reading maps, hubby not a very good drive, just nice..hahaha..
Re:shopping
did quite a bit of shopping this weekend but...its for me and hubby! didnt get anything for baby..=P hubby got me a few skirts and bottoms for my expanding belly..
i already can't wait for the weekend again. kekeke...many of colleagues on leave at the moment, so office very quiet. anyway, am planning to take some time off this few weeks to just relax and hopefully exercise more! anyway i have my antenatal class and hospital tour planned this 2 weeks.
haha Jo,
i wanted to buy a Mozart CD but hubby scared i will fall asleep while driving if i hear in the car. hahah...
bladers,
i think if friends ask if we have gift request, vouchers would be the most practical for us. we can also then choose what we like and need. as of now, we know that my boss is getting us a new cot (will go together and choose what we like). my sister has also given us a playpen as an extra for our home if needed as well as some clothes. so i guess we are left with essential stuffs and a carrier, breastpump and carseat. planning to get stroller only after baby is born to see what would be suitable for us.
i'm also going for a wedding next week. a close school friend. i asked him if his parents would mind me going since i am preggie but he insists that hubby and i attend his wedding. as long as he is ok, i am most happy to go. =>
Fifi,
i think its ok to go with e name you and hubby have chosen and decided on. i think the spelling is quite different too.
Bear,
wah, crabs again!hahah..was it yummy??

Lilian:
Coz shipping works this way -> Base charge + charge by weight. And the more you ship, the lower the by weight charge.
So if more things, base charge shared over more things. And the more we ship, the lower the cost per additional kg.
We always try to argar argar stop at about USD200 coz if cost+shipping exceed S$400, need to pay GST. So about USD200-240 is usually below S$400 (depends on weight).
I checked ICA webby that they charge USD-SGD calculations for GST muz use their exchange rate although the rate the credit card companies charge us is definitely higher.
Olwen:
No difference mah. Either we join hers or we get our own. Same oso. Only thing is pick up locations only and whether she can be trusted. KittyB seems ok but there was some Elizabeth that apparently did not deliver the desitin that pple ordered & paid for.
If BP then different story coz those BP threads tend to mark up price a lot.

Haru:
That day I mentioned abt some lobang for cot. Not sure you keen anot. Its the Dec 2008 Mummies' lobang. S$299 for cot. Free matress+bumper+stroller. I dun have the link with me. If Auggy have maybe she can pass to you.
Jo:
We trying to see if we got enuff for our own purchase lor. Shipping for this kind of spree basically is share amongst the people who buy lor. Shipping co usually charge by weight or volumetric weight (i.e. use the vol of box with some forumla, whichever is higher. We will then divide the cost by weight or volumetric weight lor. Like if they charge by weight & I buy 1kg, you buy 2kg, mildy buy 3kg, I will pay 1/6 of the shipping cost, you pay 2/6, mildy pay 3/6 lor. Usually banding together for purchases is cheaper than getting totally on your own coz (1) the company would usually have a min purchase or min purchase for free shipping and (2) shipping lets say 10kg of goods together is usually cheaper than shipping 5 sets of 2kg of goods, especially coz shipping cost is "base charge + weight charge".

I want Mozart oso.... la la la

Hi mummies
I would strongly recommend Desitin Creamy instead of the original Desitin, becos the original version one is v v hard to remove as it's thick. Even if you wash with water, it's still v hard to remove. The Creamy version is good! Effective and easy to remove.
Are you all ordering Desitin Creamy? Can I join in?
