(2009/03) March 2009 MTBs

aaaaaaarggggggggggggghhhhhh so stupid!!!! I wanted to buy 10lots of shares at a lower price to average down my unit price and I accidentally clicked SELL, so I ended up selling 10lots of my existing shares at the prevailing low price and made a loss!

Aaaahhhhh this is the 2nd time liao. Why am I always so careless!
 


grrrr


damn irritated now.


grrrrrrrrr


think I better reply only after I have calmed down

wah lao. Bet my broker think this housewife siao one. Anyhow buy sell
 
<font color="ff0000">alfafa</font> - aiyo!!! u using dbs vickers? lose a lot??
Don't 'pek chek'...quick look at pretty grace for comfort.
 
agnes chew, I replied to PM before I read your post sorry! To answer you qn about changind diapers on board... I changed once in the bassinet, the other times, in the toilet but I wasn't the one who did it haha. Bassinet comes with this canvas flap across the top that velcros shut. Baby must be in your arms and in an infant seatbelt during take off and landing. Once in the air, then they will assemble the bassinet.

missycandy, my girl did the same for about 2 weeks. She is much better now and accepting the bottle again but amount of feed is less than before as well. From my own research (books, internet, PD) they can exhibit signs of teething way before the teeh actually come out. This includes, disruption of sleep pattern, eating pattern, drooling, fussiness, wanting to chew on everything.

alfafa, my girl has stinky neck too. What I do is bring a travel size bottle of Mustela No Rinse Cleansing Fluid and cotton wool with me everywhere. Will use it to wipe her neck every few hours. Can use your Avene to srap and wipe as well. She still has some rough bumps on the neck but nothing worse than that. Maybe see a PD if it doesn't get better?

Thanks for the well wishes! We are both super jet lagged. Slept finally at 5am plus and woke up at 3pm. Routine is all messed up.

jtho, Beaba is the link that someone posted. It's a all in one defroster, warmer, blender, processor for baby food. I thought I would be able to find it at Auchan but there was only Moulinex. Thought I can wait til Sept but am not sure now. She keeps staring at us when we eat.

For Sophies, I have to refund some $ for it. Can collect with the Sophie at Babysigns workshop or take it off the postage fee. I will post next week ok? Don't think we'll get settled til then.
 
alfafa,

aiyoo .. dun upset/angry with urself ..
wait price lower(half cent also good) and buy back lor .. broker wouldn't think u siao one .. aunty also know how to 'short' ok ..
 
agnes chew, yeah I saw the Petit Teraillon as well and was quite impressed but didn't get it as the steriliser is too small.

alfafa... oh dear! Mushy mummy brain huh. Eh, lemme know when you wanna drop by and get the fabrics.

Asura, I think it's less than 100 euros in France but not sure yet. Hope jtho sees it and can let us know
 
Hohohoho I am happy again! Postman just delivered my Pink coloured Leapfrog Little touchpad with 3 books which I purchased off ebay. Such an immaculate condition. Works well too.

Baby and I have a new toy! Hohohoho

>_<

heheheh

I am such a kid sometimes.

hoho,
cetaphil lotion works like calendula cream?

st, hoho,
thanks for the info re steriod in bb cream. I heard that it is not good but I have no idea how or why. Now that I know I will be more careful at least.

ST,
how come the nurses neglected to tell you that? Small babies wor. tsk tsk

Glad that your baby is better now.

Asura,
heh heh no choice then. We'll just have to eat more next week on your behalf. Hehehe

I have the cetaphil soap but I have not used it yet cos am only halfway through some other bb soap. Given the good review maybe I'll use it from now on.

lenny,
OMG. Hey do you have a maid or nanny at home to help you? Between your plugged ducts, baby rejecting bottle and her eczema I really don't know how on earth do you manage. This sounds really really bad
sad.gif
Think you and pepper get it the worse liao. My goodness.
 
pumpkin, no worries on the sophie, i think for mine, i'll opt for postage too. thanks in advance.
let me know the postage cost if required to top up. I'll do a transfer to you.
 
lenny,
mine too. needs to be swaddled to sleep. I'm wondering if that is the reason why she has not learnt to flipp yet.

sinmey,
how to call this shorting when I sold half of what I have only? By right to short I should sell more than what I have mah. Anyway, shorting very scary one. I tried before and almost kenna heart attack. Cannot take it. *faint*. Still stuck with another 10 lots now. Don't know to average down or not. Damn. Now got to wait long long for a high high price then can sell just to break even.

Pumpkin,
mushy mummy brain indeed. Hey when will you be over your jetlag? don't want to disturb you when you are not well.

vernice,
no lah me using CIMB. Very happy with them so far. Somemore I always forget to pay on time. hahahaha lost a few hundred when I should be making. kenna sai
 
fireangel,
yah that is what I am worried of as well. I only discovered the stinky cheese like substance yesterday.
sad.gif
Will keep you posted on what the doc says. Hopefully this doc can help resolve the problem. I live really near to the clinic and since he is a GP I imagine his charges will not be as hefty
 
Kris,
I have email you twice on the transfer of payment of the wetbags which you help me to order, but I didn't get your reply on receiving it? Anyway when will the bags be in? Mine is by postage. So do let me know if you get my email of the transaction details. Thanks Thanks.

Ameda valves:
I got brand new pair to let go at $14 include normal postage.
Do let me know if any of you want to get it from me, do PM me yeah.
 
Asura,

about 70 pounds in the UK. Let me know if u want it as my mum and sis will be here in a week or two. Combined they should hopefully have enough luggage allowance to bring it back for u, provided they don't overdo the shopping..
 
alfafa,
it doesn't matter how many u sold .. as long as u buy the same volumn back within a day (can cam siong with ur broker to allow another day sometimes)
i agree shorting is terrible .. &amp; not for those have weak heart .. i contra already can't take it liao.
 
Alfafa,

if the substance rubs off, looks cheesy and smells bad, and the underlying skin is shiny and reddened but intact, then u got to be diligent in cleaning it really regularly with cotton wool/water and really dry it well with cotton wool, allowing it to air before putting barrier cream/antifungal cream/whatever he decides to give u. what you want is to keep the area dry. my boy had something similar (although not as bad as little GRace) in the creases in armpits and behind the knees - remnant of the allergic dermatitis. I literally did that like 4-5x a day at his nappy changes, applying sudocrem - basically treating it exactly like a nappy rash. After a day of this it already started to look better. Now I just do the same only after bath just for prevention.
 
asura,
hua ting is nice? never been there before. Excellent. I am always game for a good dim sum. Will surely check it out soon. Wonder if there is any credit card promo right now. heh heh

lenny,
what are the ill effects of gum cysts? Do they cause excessive drooling? Wondering now is she is teething or just having gum cysts.

Jo,
I don't know if it is the same but I have bought some of the beauty products from a BP before and because it took so long to arrive I plain forgot about it. It suddenly arrived a month and a half .. or was it two months after. :p

agnes,
I am still eating crab. Never stopped actually :p

sinmey,
oh yah, I should road test it. I've only tried her at home so far and sometimes it works, other times (like a while ago) it didn't. Maybe I should get stroller toys to distract her.
 
fireangel,
yes! exactly like what you have described. Ok I will keep using avene water spray on her then. And then followed with desitin? should be ok since it is a barrier cream as well? Never heard of sudocrem, don't think they have it here.

sinmey,
wow you are one brave mommy. I will never touch contra. That's not advisable leh, babe. Not given current market condition; too volatile liao. That's why lor, last time I tried to short, and I tend to go for bank shares some more so they cost a fortune. Really can feel my heart palpitating like it was going to jump out. Didn't managed to cover until the last 10min before closing. Swore off shorting ever since then.
 
ok update, The Sophie distributor contacted me again and apologised for the mistake. I think they mistook me for whoever did the BP on the forum previously. So anyone who wants Sophie, you can join the Feb mummies. They currently have 20 plus orders so should be able to meet MOQ soon. Just go to their thread for details.
 
alfafa,

I am not familiar with desitin myself. I think as long as the basic ingredients are the same, and, importantly, it doesn't make the area more moist it should be okay. sudocrem kind of dries into a powdery yet adherent layer (ie doesn't stay oily/lotiony/creamy) so it's good. same with mustela vitamin barrier cream that i personally use to prevent nappy rash for bb.

Anyway best is still to let the dr have a look, cos rashes are really diagnosed by looking at the actual thing, not speculation from someone u never met ;)
 
vernice, actually i need massage..very aching to carry baby and my back ache too when bending down to do body wipe or diaper change...Actually, i managed to taste the gravy but not the crab infront of my MIL since she said dun eat, so I dun..haha..

Asura, at least u change clothes? Sometimes i too tired/lazy to change...just zz..

Lenny, poor massage will affect milk supply? Gotta take note..
 
alfafa,

addendum: sudocrem has antibacterial and antifungal properties as well, and is also used for lots of other skin conditions. Not too sure if desitin is the same. the sudocrem certainly worked better than the mustela when I was trial and erroring with my bb. Anyhow, mention it to the dr and see if he does have it, or recommend an equivalent.
 
alfafa
I applied a tiny bit of desitin for my bb's neck and armpit before. It helps to protect the raw flesh/ redness. But must clean and dry the area well before applying. After it recovers, don't have to apply desitin anymore. Less chemicals, the better for bb. Just keep the area dry and clean. I always have to remind myself to check under her neck fold for that cheesy smell. Usually it's due to her sweat and spilt milk trapped in that area.
 
<font color="ff0000">alfafa</font> - wa luckily only few hundred n not few thousands lor.

<font color="ff0000">agnes</font> - then u can eat when ur mil not ard? Wa ya lor..bending down very siong esp on bb cot. My hb worse still since he is taller loh. tot of getting a diaper changing table..but donno how much
 
alfafa,

yes. i never used to care much for sudocrem altho it's being used all around for everything when i was working in the hospitals, until i used it myself on bb, and realised why it is so popular. i definitely think it's worth keeping a little tub for situations like ours. hehe. fingers crossed, so far no signs of allergy to it in bb ;P
 
re: teething,

I have not bothered to look into bb's mouth, but i sure hope his erratic sleep/wake pattern, poor feeding, general grumpiness and lack of poo for the last 2 days is really down to that. *ready to tear hair out* I want my 6-7 hr (and on two occasions, 8hr) night feed interval and greedy pig of a son back *sob*
 
Wah! Din know we got so many players here. Im looking at the stock market everyday now. My bb must think Im siao. Always staring at the screen.

Alfafa,
Is that so? Is the BP organiser: [email protected]? I emailed her and she nv replied too. Luckily I only paid $10 or I sure curse and swear
 
Haha, I am also constantly checking on the stock market as holding on to some lots of capitaland. Regret not buying more when the stock market was at a all time low during march.

agnes, I also ate a lot of crabs when preggy, didnt control hehe. I have terrible backache too, and dont know why its esp bad when I just wake up.
 
talking about destiny creamy, i think Zac can't take it leh. I let him used then his buttock become more reddish.
Haiz.. can only use pureen on him.

I got 1 brand new tube of destiny creamy still. any mommies want?

alfalfa,

I do not have a maid or nanny at home.. i pretty much do them all myself though my mum is with me. Brianne chooses who to attend to her.. she only lets my mum carry her for 30 mins to 1 hrs max.. all the rest is.. Me.. hehehe..
My mum helps with laundy and my meals.

My parents will be moving out latest before 20th Aug. then i will be alone with her. i hope i survive


Mummies,..

Vivien, never mind first time buy stock is like that, at least got earn some profit.
happy.gif
I bought capitaland at different prices, $1.78 was super low that time and I regret never buy more. Think I will hold on the stock for a while.
 
yah, I oso holding some other stocks too, earn quite a bit on a bank share and spc..the rest all now lower prices, have to hold on to them first, sigh.. hee, this become our stock market thread liao..
 
jaszho and agnes chew, I got your PMs. Will reply next week when I am more settled and can post the Sophies ok? It should not be too much as there is no box. I just put in a postpack or envelope. Prefer to send by registered mail as it's safer. I really don't want to risk losing any, but it's up to you
happy.gif


I think most mummies but I think a few have not. Will check through my statement and get back to all of you soon. I should be ok to meet on Friday if the gathering is still on.
