<font color="0077aa">Tubbym~, actually I never made a conscious effort to avoid KFC - I'm not a skin person - so KFC has ever held a lot of appeal to me. UNTIL NOW. Heehee... I used to only eat their Popcorn Chicken, cheese fries and coleslaw. But now I enjoy their 2 piece chicken meal.
Tiny_bubu, there are many stretching exercises recommended in preggie books.. Besides swimming, walking is also a good form of low-impact exercise for us. I know this is a very "Cassey" thing to say, but why not just Google it and see what you get?
LFB, your obgyn sounds a little aloof!! Poor friend of yours... I hope both she and bb are doing well. So out of curiousity, what gift did you bring her?!
fatmom, I have no idea! I usually see them in mags and online... Not something I'm intending to get, so I haven't looked out for them in stores. Actually, as of last year, out of my bb & mummy shopping list, I only have items like detergent, toiletries, milk storage bottles and bedlinen left. So I haven't much interest in bb shopping these days. *Sorry no help!*
Blurmom, that line running down the middle of our bump is called the linea nigra and it SHOULD go off after a delivery. Anyway, I've always washed my belly button... but I've heard ppl say it's not good to stick a finger in. Hmm... BUT HEY! Don't discriminate against my poor belly button if its got a dark scar! It's not the poor little thing's fault ma.
bing, sweethalo, LFB, I'm getting a little paranoid about missing TMC WBB's lesson next Sat. Haha... relying on you ppl to remind me! Look fwd to meeting you, bing! And not forgetting, can suss out each of our husbands! Heehee.. LFB, what time is your class? Ours is the 7-9pm one.

>> Re: Contact numbers. Sorry ah, I've been busy. So only those in the initial mailing list (before confirmation of date and venue) got the numbers of all the others. I usually give others only my mobile #. HOWEVER, don't worry, cos after the gathering, I'll send out another email with photos attached together with all attendee's contacts.
ahnetsan, sweethalo, Tubbym~, join la! Famous Amos, Yami Yogurt & all of us HOT mama's beseech you!
Mika, no further emails after confirmation of date and venue. If there were any, those listed under attendees would have definitely received. That's why even confirmation of McD as venue, I asked on the thread
Just drop me an sms tonight or tmr or something... We should be at McD. Unless I go into premature labour and we all end up at the hospital or something. *grin*
Hi pinkiez, you here to join us, eh? When are you due and let me guess... are you expecting a little princess? =) Thanks for the heads up.

Hi caramelle,
I think need to pay extra if induce bb out leh. Not very sure though because last time I was c-section. This time also
As for sterilising the bottle, once steriliser I will just leave it there, if didn't use within 24 hours I will re-steriliser again lor.

Tubbymummy and Caramelle,
yes, we will hang on and encourage one another. I am very determine to do so, cos I know that's the best I can give my bb. I waited 5 years for this bb. Surely bb can wait a few days for my BM to come. Anyway, I believe ask and I shall be given. Will start adding this to my prayers from today onwards!
Cassey, bought nothing lah. Actually wanted to get a nice balloon but cannot find last min. Moreover she inviting me for 1st month, so I will give later. Most prob ang bao lor, more convenient(i no need to buy) and she also can use it for better use.
Got arrowed to go for a meeting this afternoon. Sigh. Seems like this coming month end is a pretty busy one! Shucks!

jam75, i found out abt the fibroids when i was 6 weeks pregnant. before that i got married in feb 2008, then pregnant in sep so maybe i had a bit of a challenge conceiving initially because of the fibroid cos it was big and blocking the way for egg to latch on.
capriho, ok thanks for info. cos the hosp bill breakdown like dont have a charge for the induce that's why i asked. anyway my next appointment in week 28 so by then must make bed booking and deposit already right? then i will ask the nurse.

Dear ladies,
I didn't login yesterday and already 2 archives for reading. Thank you all for sharing the info on the sales, wanted to go to Taka fair, maybe this weekend if time allows..
Cassey, so sorry haven't been dropping in here much these two days, my first one today in fact, been tight up with work lately, got deadlines to complete, hubby's work also have been ridiculous these 2 weeks, we may not even have the anniv dinner as planned tomorrow
I'll try my best to leave earlier tomorrow so that can catch up with you all, even just for a shortwhile, really wanna meet up with you mummies who got me hooked here.. I've got your number, I will sms you tomorrow evening..

Hi all, i just came back from the taka baby fair! i stay near taka so that's why i'm home early.
the sale is only worthit if you have the taka card.if not, better to sign up for it. you get 10% discount off your total bill.
i compared the prices in the baby dept and the baby fair.and guess what?dont even bother going to the baby dept.the same items are selling for much less at the baby fair.
mummies must go early,k?i reached 10am and there were about 10 people browsing.i thought i would go have macdonalds and then start to shop.by 11am, the place was swarming with people.so hard to walk around.AND the queue at the ashier was snaking!!!!!

For the taka card, there are 2 types - One is the credit card. that one confirm cannot get immediately.
the other one (which i have) is the Taka Smartcard. that one you can apply today and get w/in 4 hours. You need to give them 1 passport sized photo for them to scan and put your pic on your card.But they will give you back the photo when you collect the card.There is a one time $15 charge to sign up for this card.
You must produce the actual card when you make payment. AND with this card, you can only pay by cash or by NETS. Taka is very smart.They dont want you earning points from them and your credit card company at the same time.Every $10 you spend at taka, you get 1 point with this card.100 points can be exchanged for a $30 taka voucher.
if you sign up for the taka credit card, every $10 spent earns you 2 points.
taka will be opening at 10am till sunday to accomodate the crowds for the sale.

Blurmom : no problem. since i live so near town, decided to update you guys before you came down today or during this weekend.
i was so looking forward to getting a fisher price bouncer but the prices are like normal.plus there was one bouncer i saw for $79.90.i tried to demo it with a doll they had.
the vibration was so strong that the doll kept vibrating and almost fell off the bouncer.hahaha.

Hi all,
I am new here. First time mum. Edd 23/06/09. Cowboy.
Will deliver in Mt Alvernia Hospital.
Thanks for the updates on Taka baby fair. My hb has applied for the taka credit card this morning after i read this forum. Might need 2 weeks to produce or even shorter as my hb is current a DBS/ESSO card holder. hope can make it by 29 mar.
I have been to Expo Baby fare last 2 weeks and found tt the item is really cheaper. So tis time i must go and grab something in the Taka Bbay fair...

Hi SamSam! i am new here too but everybody here has been really friendly so i dont feel awkward.
My EDD is 09 June 09. But my gynae said to prepare for labour during 3rd week of May already!!!!!
I'm getting very stressed because currently I'm in my 27th week.that leaves me around 10 more weeks before my world will change.
i'm almost all done buying all the stuff i need.just left with the baby's toiletries which i can buy from cold storage anytime.
and i also need to settle my post natal massage lady. House of Traditional Javanese Massage has this package where it's $400 for 10 sessions and they come to your house.
and lastly i need to inform the public cord bank that i wish to donate my baby's cord blood.
i wanted to get a bouncer for my baby but after seeing what i saw at the fair today,i'm not getting one anymore.heheh.

Firstmum : For Avent / Pigeon, they have about 15% to 20% discount at the baby fair on most of their items (when you compare with non-sales period).
then if you're a taka member, you get an additional 10% off.
Example : a Pigeon small glass bottle is normally $18. At the baby fair, there's a 20% discount, which means you buy it for $14.40.If you have a taka card, you get an additional 10% off, which means $14.40 - 10% = $12.96.
