mimi
YES!! that person always have alot of cute rompers. I like the suit romper for guys. so cute! i feel like buying for my gal to wear leh. Hahaha feel like buying to dress her like a boy LOL.. anyway i order a romper from him liao hehe
 
Mommies,

Thanks for ur well-wishes! Really appreciate that. Today I feel much better. Think I will be better since I got 1 week school holidays to rest my body.

Ivy,

If u want to teach, perhaps u can recall whether u even teach tuition b4 and that will count as ur experience as tuition agent will ask for that.

If u dun have experience, u can still teach but ur rate will be much lower. Ur rate will be depends on ur year of experience, ur qualification (eg. Uni grad or Poly grad with what kind of grade)

MOE do allow school teachers to give tuition but there are conditions to fulfill, like not more than 6 hours a week. And cant use own school material to give to ur tuition students. If more than 6 hours, got to write in to ask for MOE HQ permission. Cause some teacher may have financial difficulty that they need to earn some extra $ by giving tuition. MOE do understand but tuition cant affect ur proper work. So that is why not more than 6 hours a week for tuition assignment.

I only got 2 tuition, each 1 is 2 hours so in a week, only 4 hours so it is fine. As school teachers, we are well-sought in the tuition market. We are paid $35 to $50, depends on the student level and subject, P1 or P6 rate will be very different. For me, my rate is around $40 to $45 per hour. So for 4 hours efforts a week, I will earn around $600 in 4 weeks. It helps to pay my daughter's nanny fee and Mamy Poko diaper. Haha...

For u, if u r a Uni grad with good grade in the subject u r teaching, n u got 2 or 3 yrs experience. Think ur rate is around $20 to $25 per hour. U can 1st register with tuition agency, now got online agency. If they got assignment, they will call u. My HP is hotline especially after school exam like CA or SA since parents start to worry for their kids and want to find tutor to help their kids. Hehe...

Giving tuition is very flexible. If u no time to take up this assignment, u can turn down the agent. So u choose the timing that fit ur schedule, like taking care of our bb etc. Also, if u find the location too far, u can turn down also. But that will limit ur choice. Now, economy not good, the tuition market is supply a bit more than demand, so cant be too choosy.

So maybe tuition quite suitable for u. That time, I remember is it u who mention want to be a teacher n ask me how to apply? That means u got the passion to teach. U sure can handle tuition well. PM me if u need online tuition agency website.

Hope that helps.

Rompers: Last Dec, I remember sharing with u gals that at Tampines there got Gammil sales. They are selling Carter's and Gap and OshKosh baby clothes at dirt cheap price. I bought quite alot but only less than $50. I mainly look at Carter's, they got very pretty series for bb gal. Only that cant find bibs, so got to get from SMH BP. But at $10 for 4 really pretty bibs, I am fine with it.

At the sales, u can get Carter's rompers at 5 for $7 and sunclothes (similar to romper but look like dress on the outside) at $10 for 3 pieces. So when got BP on Carter's, the clothes are similar or exactly the same, so I dun buy cause I got it much cheaper at Gammil there.

Last year is their 3rd year of annual sales at Dec. The sales there told me every year end got, so now I am holding my itchy hands for my bb clothes. At the sales, I got my bb gal clothes in different sizes, up to 12 months. So can wait till this year sales then buy further more. If this year no sales, then I consider buying from SMH BP.

Keep a lookout for Gammil sales ok. Really a good buy!

Gathering: Enjoy ur gathering at 14 Mar, ladies. I am sure u n ur bb will enjoy much.
 
Fabbie, I bought from this elly person as well on her previous spree..hahaha. I m going to stop buying liao. This month really spent way beyond for Zach's clothes..
 
Hi gals,
Paiseh. I will go back and check email tonite. Office dun allow us to access web mail.
happy.gif
Paiseh Paiseh... :p

Spree for clothes:
I think I the most jia lat mother. I totally nvr buy nice clothes for my bb to wear. Whatever rompers (cute ones) are all given to her by friends during full month lor. My poor ger ger...
 
Snowger,

haha...you are not alone...I didnt really buy any rompers for my baby too because for a long time, I didnt know if baby was a girl or boy...so before she was born...I never bought any...After she was born...no time to buy also...

yesterday, she came home from infantcare in a romper that had holes....(cos it was a hand-me-down, and I didnt notice the holes until yesterday) ...Faintz....My hb was not so happy...cos he said my baby is always dressed like a homeless kid....haha!!!

so I promised my baby that this weekend, I will go shopping and buy her enough nice rompers...so the teachers wont think that she is neglected!!!
 
santorini,
Aiyoh... After lookin thru the hand me downs I got, I did not let my ger wear. Cos all got stains (I now know they are BM stains!) or holes. *haiz* I want to buy a bit cos she dun have much clothes to wear when she hits more than 3mths. *opps, she is 3 mths now*
 
Snowger,

I also did some QC check on the handmedowns..and got rid of the worst ones....problem is, Emma goes to infantcare, and they bathe her like twice a day, so she goes through 4 sets of clothes in one day....

Must buy some pretty dresses for our girls soon....cos now they are older, we will bring them out more....Most of the pretty dresses Emma has are all gifts as well....
 
Phyl:
juz saw your posting! hehe... ok, u sms me and let me know if Bel confirm picking u by 12pm can?

Mimi:

wow... sat many mummies and BBs man, it's a true blue INVASION at Maureen's hse liao!!! wahahahaha... ;D
 
My boy just flip yesterday night in his cot..So scary..I only wake up n realise this early morning abt 6+ when he suck his fist. Go to his cot, saw him sleeping on his tummy with head turn to one side n sucking fist. Lucky he know to turn his head. Phew..

Envy you all with baby girls..I always go shopping n find so many pretty clothes! Too bad boy cant wear them
 
tara, Emma's IFC bathe her twice a day?? They told me that they will onie bathe Zach once a day leh..

Oh ask u all huh, the towel that I bought from Aussino till now still will have those 'mao mao' coming out and usually will stick to Zach..how do I get it off? I alr wash the towel more than 10x liao..
 
Mimi:
no issue at all! i juz edit my profile again, can PM me? Funny leh, cos i can receive other mummies PM all along! hahaha...
 
carmen, jus PM-ed u.

emeraldbride, i think aussino's towel quality drop. my friend also complain that the towel mao mao always stick to her body.
 
kath, hayden's school also bathe 2 times, once in morning and once in afternoon.

tara.. spree some and buy some.. coz those bought in shops are quite ex.

carmen ah.. like that i go with bur la.. coz each car can take 2 babies n max 3 adults... u bring iris n zayden lor..

phyl

nevermind.. this weekend, i'm going to mothercare to buy some rompers to "dong" first...remember i have lotsa mothercare vouchers??!! haha...

kath,
yeah emma's school bathe her twice, once in morning and the other time in the afternoon...in between, when she poop, they will wash her up and sometimes change her too...
 
tara,
I think tat's v good! My hubby was commenting that my ger got a sweaty smell. Fairly expected since my niece n nephew last time oso lidat.
sad.gif
I usually do a SPRING clean when she goes back with me...
happy.gif
Mayb ask my hb to let bb bathe twice instead of once. *keke*

Milk Spa:
I let my bb do milk spa (using my frozen milk diluted in warm water). Wah! Super oily!!! I had a super good time trying to clean her up after tat. And she smell fishy the whole day...
proud.gif


For socks,
rem to change them when bb outgrows. Tight socks are bad for feet/toe development!
happy.gif
I still let my bb wear botties. Where can I buy nice socks (i.e. which spree?)? *Paging Fabbie - any lobang on the trusted spree to go to?*
 
Kath
