Hi, a rly big TQ to Phyl, Santorini, Littlebluey and all mtbs who went down to c the PM till late night. Me, bbs and hubby r very grateful for your effort. As our twins r due in Dec08, tis bb bonus means a lot to us. At first wanted to close shop after tis preg but now hubby said maybe can consider 3rd one...haha
wow..still feeling very excited now..
Do u all know if all the benefits mentioned in the bb pkg will kick off immediately, or must still give time for the administrative paperwork to settle in first..Read from the Straits Times that all will settle in Oct 08..So guess we Dec MTBs wont be affected rite??
Anyone got any latest news on this? me kiasu lah, juz wish to be doubly-sure that we really got it..hee..

pastillies - it's not too late to join in discussion. mine also eh... got his own timing to kick one.
Snowger - nm about her anymore.
Mimi - for my company is as long as u apply for child care leave, they will give. if you forgot to finish clearing that year, then too bad, u can't carry forward. if the company does not compily, i think can appeal to relevant bodies. it's just like maternity leave.
LuthAdel - i think if the place is centralised it will be better? and the place is spacious so that we can slowly eat and occupy there for some time without being chased out. the link you have given seems to be mainly fast food?

Hi NZ
If PM Lee hear this from u about No.3, he will not regret his decision of backdating the dates for us
Hi juzyounme
Forget abt those ppl la... i also have friends/ colleagues telling me that changing of implementation date WILL NOT HAPPEN and i replied that we just try our best, as long as we tried and fight....Some are more evil.. they said wish remain at Jan 2009, cos they also delivered in early 2008.. SIGH!! They dun get it n wish others dun get it too...

jowinbaby, haha..PM Lee will not regret his decision tis time. My hubby usually dun tink govt is so generous but tis time is exceptional and fast. He is quite impressed wth them and the mtbs forum. I m veri happy...
btw, i have called the hotlines to ask for free samples of diapers & milk powder. Seems that for milk powder they won't entertain, as they said MOH encourages breastfeeding. hmm, haiz.
i think two of the mothers mentioned to me that they used pigeon brand cotton buds to clean baby's nose. i went to check out. seems that pigeon brand got 3 types of "cotton swab/buds" range. which one exactly are they referring to? coz i did see one from Tollyjoy which is thinner & smaller compared to pigeon brand.

Good morning ladies!
A lot of post-reading to do but A big THANK YOU to all for your effort.
Caught the announcement on the news last night and couldn't believe it. My husband was saying that this is the power of the scorned pregnant woman! haha!! But really, well done and thanks for all the time/effort/anger (keke) you've put in
Apologies that I've been missing-n-action cos my boy's been having diarrhoea/vomitting.. So afraid that its rotavirus cos my 6m nephew just got that and was hospitalised and put on drip. Next time must get your babies vaccinated against rotavirus okie..?? I'm going to schedule my son once he recovers.

Fabbie,
Why u go n ask for "qian"? Did the gynae tell u something? I only ask when I am @ e crossroads! U must be specific when u ask (verbally or in your heart). Did u throw e two pcs thing to determine if the "qian" is correct one? Then e "qian" is intepreted based on what u ask. Do get someone experienced to help u read ok?
Dun be too worried based on the english intepretation. If in doubt, go n ask another time...
ST paper got advert for the following:
Robinson - 20% (see in store for wat is included) off till 24 Aug;
Metro - Up to 60% storewide
Metro Featured Ad:
(a) Tollyjoy steam steriliser + 2 bottles ($59.90) avail @ woodland & sengkang outlet;
(b) 3 NUK Silicon bottles (250ml) + 1 pack oral wipes ($30).
Taka - Dun see one for Taka Baby Fair
For gals going, just to let u noe that the Britax Baby Car Seat ($199 one) and Safety 1st ($179 one) is out of stock! I went there on Wed n was super dissapointed! :'( Every other offer saw from first day of fair still got.
