Rotavirus vaccine
Mummies who r concerned with the Rotarix news, pls check if your bb has been given Rotarix (by GSK, the one under investigation) or Rotateq (by Merck).
If your bb has been given Rotarix, nothing can be done about it at the moment. As reported by TODAYonline, HSA says "no need to be alarmed over Rotarix" at the moment. If bb has been given Rotateq, then u can fang xin. According to Zacks.com, RotaTeq, has been given a clean bill of health regarding the presence of PCV-1.
WHO extends prequalifications of Merck's Rotateq for global use (source:pharmaceutical online).
 
hello mummies!

just wanna drop by to say I miss uuuuu.....hahaha...

a lot of things been happening wor..

my gal's been walking and walking...now learning how to run...very tiring oso cos she just wouldn't stop and she's veryy kaypoh, everywhere i go, she also want to follow...when im on the phone, she will go, oi oi oi...seeking attention one. haha...

im so close to third tri alreadi...which is in 2 days time? fast huh...very tiring cos now NO maid..ya, no maid again..damn tulan..

i got a maid which is very dumb...sigh. I tot i will get a fresh maid, eager to learn but she got lazy at the 2nd week. just when i finally tot it's over... anyway, the last straw was when i went out with my whole family without her only to find her just waking up from sleep when we came back from dinner. she ate so much till become so chubby. when i confronted her abt taking too many helpings when my hub and i have yet to eat our breakfast, she cried and cried...crazy woman..i just tell her to limit herself lah cos whenever my hub and i wanna eat breakfast, left so little only. i nvr even raise my voice..thats why got shocked when she cry. so mamadrama,,its already good dat she makan wat we eat leh..she will have 2-3 helpings and her rice will be like those mountain on the plate one...by the time i want to eat, not much for me. she broke so many things in my house, lazy, woke up late 8x(my mum counted). nvr cook (my mum took over). take care of my gal, i oso take over cos im very scared cos she doesn't know how to take care...once i caught her nearly dipping my gal into hot water in bath tub. and the list goes on..already she do so little, just wash clothes, iron and sweep, mop the house. no washing car...no marketing

anyway, now goin to take a new maid..this time no more indonesian, tryin out filipino..but coming in 2 weeks time. in the meantime, im doin housework too.. tiring, wanna faint sometimes..haha...i just cleaned two toilets! all of us in the house are chipping in the meantime...wish me luck!

mummy2nia, this coming filipino maid will be your number what maid?
I heard new maids who just come to SG likes to eat a lot, cos back in their home they have little to eat. After a while, they sianz liao, will reduce their intake. For me, I prefer to scoop out the portion of rice for t maid..

Lynn, hehe, dun worry lah. The 'curse' will not be forever. U planning rabbit or dragon?

Mildy, why u always wanna puke.
Got rumour say Zoe Tay is preg again...

Aly_Nat, yup there's nothing we can do abt t vaccine liao, since already taken. But still concern if the bacteria will have any long term effect on the child. If u see any updates, let us know ok

Lian,

What time is the kite flying huh?

Olwen,
I know u busy. Call me whenever convenient. Or maybe we catch up at the kite flying.

mummy2nia,
yet another disappointing experience with maids!aiya, like that how I go back to work? Child care not quite an option for me n my hb cos most times we sure cannot make it back by 7pm to pick kiddos. always incur penalty also dun make sense.....
envy those with parents (n in laws) who help supervise maids.
 
aly_nat, rotarix lor ...
Time ah? 5pm?

mildy, she's 43 i tink. We can only envy. But i tink if she has a choice, she would rather give birth at a younger age.
 
pedipeds original shoes,
saw some of you interested in getting pedipeds shoes, i had them once when i have charlene cos they are like the prettiest little things. but please note that the leather soles of these shoes are smooth and not much friction cos according to them a soft solemeans less friction so that the shoes wont grab the floor causing your kid to fall but i feel that its pretty slippery when charlene wears them that time. a couple of my friends also commented it, especially when its wet. i think its more suitable for babies or toddlers learning to walk rather then walking steadily ones.

But i realised that recently they come out with the flex shoes. that is with normal soles. so if wanna buy then get those which is better. my 2 cents worth!
happy.gif
 
nowadays BBC when she dun gets her way hor she will scream, kick, slam her whole body on the floor, cry non stop, dun let me carry her, refuse to let me touch her..........any one babies also like tat? she got a horrible temper especially when she dun get her snack!
 
Mildy
hungry bb is an angry bb.. heezz.... When my gal hungry she wont really throw temper.. jus whine and whine.. but other than this if she doesn't get her way she'll sometimes also lay stomach flat on the floor crying away.. Jus ignore her.. But for urs u cant ignore la cos she may b really hungry haha..
 
mildy, i think u missed out earlier post of me and wtan's. Our darlings are already Olympic swimming medalists... slam body on the floor and cry. Legs kicking, like really swimming freestyle
 
peanut/lilian,
huh... so all like the babies like tat one ah. i never seen this for my #1 leh, so i was amaze that the younger one is doing it. like u know u go supermarket sometimes u c some kids if they dun get what they wan they will scream sit on the floor n refuse to get up. i hope she wont b like tat in future.

and hor she wans her snack is not becos she hungry hor. she already had her food her milk and everything. so she confirm not hungry. she just wan me to get a bowl of gerber star biscuits for her so that she can watch her playhouse disney while munching them!!!
 
Mildy,
agree with peanut. attend to bb if there is a real reason for the misbehavior. Otherwise, ignore them, but make sure that bb dun get hurt. I've heard of bb who head-butt the wall. Yet another passing phase of toddlerhood.

Lilian,
ok. will let u know if I see anymore updates on Rotarix. Am bring Nat to take her MMRV tmr. I'll ask my PD for her opinions on rotarix.


Any mummies with experience on teaching bb to draw/write on paper? Nat discover the wonders of writing material, especially color pencils. Really dun want my little artist to create murals out of my white washed walls.
 
Kiki:
Really ah. Then I will have a Hao word liaoz.


Mildy:
Really ah. Ok will go for the Flex ones instead. The originals are for younger kids anyway (up to 24 mths max I think).
 
Any mommies want free trip to batam tomorrow?

I'm organising a trip for corporate admin/secretaries to join in a hotel familiarisation trip tomorrow. It's for a 2D/1N event. Want more details, pls PM as not convenient for me to post everything here. Don't worry... this is not gimmick hor. And is valid only for those mommies who are in admin or secretary positions.
 
hi hi all the cool mummies here,

whew! luckily no more pi sai talk. haha.. had a laugh/faint too on those pi sai's talk.

anyway, recently i bought i new snack from cold storage. organic one. my gal love it so much, she keep asking for it. faint. she will walk to the kitchen & point to the biscult & shout "mum mum". she keep wanting to eat like nobody business. worried it will be too heaty for her. the moment she woke up, she will want to eat tat biscuit. haiz..

HFM. heard tat HFMD is luking again.
 
Hey mummies, thanks for the advice on where to get sunhats.

Mildy,
R also will scream, lie on the floor and pretend to cry if she dun get what she wants. Most toddlers here also like that. It's a phase most will go thru ba. C so young know how to snack while watching cartoons. Keke so cute.

Re: shoes
I got Clarks for R, find it really good for walking. Got another pair of combi but in bigger size so haven't try but heard it's good too.
 
babyzel,
my girl hor she dun pretend to cry her eyes and nose tap will roll non stop. then she will use the back of her hands to wipe all over her face like so kor lian like tat. then she will sit up and see mi then if i looking at her she will cry louder and like on the floor again.....ZZZZZzzzzzz..........

ya, recently she will watch cartoons as she snack. and like super enjoy. she dun bother who call her she will fix her eyes on the tv while her fingers is digging into her bowl of snack.
 
Aly_nat
i sometime ago bought colour book and colour pencils for her to play but she only scribble a while then dun wan liao.. Then lately i went ikea bot a low table for her and she starts to rather like scribbling more than before.. tink its more comfortable ba cos last time e pencils and papers on e floor mayb more difficult and umcomfy to color

And when i let her play with color pencils i'll b ther to spy on her.. so she wont anyhow scribble on other places. While i'm not around i'll put e pencils away out of her reach.. so no worries
 
dymples
wow i'm a good candidate then but too bad my company has strict policy not to accept such complimentaries from 3rd party vendors so cannot lor.. even go for vendor dinner & dance if win lucky draw also cannot accept..
But hor.. umm.. batam is a rather boring place lei.. which hotel??
 
Peanut,
Yah lor... I also called your procurement. But they declined the invite. hehehe... Yah lor. Batam nothing to do one. But it's a good place to conduct teambuilding and meetings/ staff retreats cos the staffs got no where else to 'run off' to and nothing to distract them. *hiaks-hiaks* Btw, its for HI Batam.

But hor... when I'm there I love to stock up on my inner wear from Wacoal cos it's much much cheaper there. THe last time I was there, I spent $100 and bot 2 bras + 2 panties leh. Somemore it's those push up bra and matching panties with lace. hahahaha...
 
Mildy,
Your gal damn cute leh... I read your postings and started to sniggle to myself till my colleagues all though I "gila" already. hahahahah. As for Baby J, she only likes to watch those ads that got catchy music then she will drop whatever she is doing to do a quick dance. *lolz* As for tantrums, oh boy... can she scream. And yes! She can turn on the water works to get her way... cos once she strts bawling, everyone (my hub, my dad, even my older gals) will run towards her and give in. *aarrgghh*
 
Peanut,Jes,
hehe.. Dun hamtam me!

Mildy,bbzel,
same same.. My girl will scream like hell too, but she wont lie down the floor to kick, just scream only i buetahan and give in.

Think they will be better when they can speak, cause they can tell you what they want exactly..
 
花生s, my impression of 秘书 is those office ladies wearing super mini-skirts, spaghetti straps, 5inch heels
A few of my coy's dress like tat one lor

Joyce, when they learn to speak hor, then they'll go 'Mommy, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, ....'
Non-stop radio .... buey tahan

btw, sorry mummies, me going to talk abt poo poo again. does any mummies here notice ur child poo poo esp when u feed them carrot? i notice my gal poo poo hav bits & pcs of the carrot she has eaten. does it meant her body cannot digest the carrot?? wat abt the vitamin in the carrot? can her body absorb it too?
 
Did a very bo liaos thing, went to trace back our birth story. wakkaak...

Dey - hi ladies,

I delivered my boy on Sunday, prematurely at 34 weeks, weighing 2.49kg. Had regular and strong contractions last Thurs and was admitted for ventolin drip for 2 days but on Sat, my contractions got stronger and more regular so gynae had to deliver me on Sun.

My boy was in NICU for 2 days and was discharge yesterday.

Updates on olwen : Hip hip hooray, olwen had sucessfully delivered her triplets yesterday. 2 boys and 1 gal. one of the boy is quite small but i think as long as healthy, size doesnt matter. She can concentrate in fattening him up later. Her gal had to stay in NICU for a day and will be pushed to nursery today. hopefully will get to see their pictures soon. Oh ya, olwen misses you all and say hi to everyone here.

kaya - Hi mommies!

Long time no see.I just returned from TMC.
Delivered my baby on Friday 9th October at 35wks, baby boy was abt 2.5kg.

Had no choice but to deliver early as I had Serious Pre-eclampsia, so had an immediate elective cesarean done on the day I went for a simple gynae checkup. (We were shocked when our gynae said, you must take the baby out today or tommorow!)No natural birth as any delay may cause complications.

He's in intensive care unit now due to premature lungs and a mild lung infection. But Dr said that he should be fine after 5 days.

Wish to share my Birth Story with mummies here.

-Was wheeled into operation theatre at 6.30pm
Spinal Block and drip administered (can't do epidural as we need the Analgesia to take effect immediately)
-Felt an ant bite sensation on my spine, a little "suan" feeling as needle entered, but still bearable, after which I lost all sensation in my lower body.
-Started shivering due to spinal block, was given sedatives through drip to reduce shivering, made me drowsy, but still aware.
-I can feel Dr Chan tugging at my tummy, it's not painful, just a weird sensation
-Baby is born at 6.50pm. I was amazed at the speed.They placed him in my arms and we managed to cuddle him for a while before they took him for measurements.
-Dr Chan stitches me up
- Left the op theatre at 7.20pm.
-Back to room to rest, was told to try to wiggle my legs, able to regain sensation of lower body by next morning.

Jiayou mummies! Wishing you all the joy upon the arrival of your babies, soon!

hui - Hui has delivered on 15 Oct 08 at 2018hrs and the baby girl weighs 3060g....4d fanatics its time to chiong ar.....

We would also like to wish all of you and your families bliss and peace always.

Take good care.

chillipadi - YoZ! We got another graduate!!!

aiyo got things to do now cannot go search any mroe.
 
Ah lian, downtown 秘书 dun usually wear like tat de. can't be bothered, some wear 3/4 pants, t-shirt, flats, take big canvas bag.

i tink a 秘书 sometimes get to do a lot of "sai kang" so it's a very super sian job!
 
ah Jes, then is it true that many 秘书 and their bosses got 'one leg' one? Or t 秘书 help their bosses cover up his 'external affairs'?
*slap myself* thinking too much again
 
ah lian, haha, that's the impression of most pple towards 秘书, but in real is always not lah, unless the 秘书 is those super hiao type go and seduce the boss lor. and moreover now in the working world, alot of top pple are in fact women, so no chance to leg here and there oso

Mildy,
wah, u very huai jiu leh, but they are surely very fond memories for everyone of us. Semb raining for 1hr plus le. Still raining, cannot go semb park later Liao.
 
secretary
yoz.. me half half la hor not a pure secretary.. But i dun wear until so sexy la pls.. or else whole office will b toking abt me.. I wear e usual office wear.. jus met up with Jo at vivo for lunch she can tell u how i dress up for work.. haha...

I dun flirt with my manager hor.. cos cos he old old liao.. if handsome one mayb i;ll try wahahaha... And everymorning he's e one saying good morning to me 1st.. and i'll reach office later than him, lunch longer than him... wahahhaa/.. piang sooner or later gena sacked man..
 
pnut, why u said u 1/2 not pure secretary leh. wat u tink is considered pure secretary?

pple oftenly said female superiors are hard to work with, but i do tink they are generally ok, cos at times they can emphatise with us, for eg. emergency leave for kids, mood swings on period days etc. these are what male bosses will never understand.
 


Jes
me not working purely as sec cos i stil do other accounts thing la.. in fact i report to the big boss and another account manager..

Soli hor.. u are wrong.. normally a female boss will giv harder time esp u know.. those spinster their mindset a bit unstable u know.. whereas male boss kinder.. mayb i'm jus lucky .. but my female ang mo boss was v v v nice.. but she's married and hav kids of cos
