Thx for Napisan info! I'm looking for one before but I was told it's not sold in NTUC anymore, that's why now looking for other brands (so far no idea which brand yet hehe..) Anyway, Napisan is good for soaking cloth diapers/stubborn stains. I'll get from Unity Pharmacy then. Thanks!
Re: Robinson sale
Is this time a closed-door sale? Non member can go in or not?

I'm going to install 2 cameras, 1 at living room & 1 at bb's room. I won't purposely tell the maid but will find a way somehow to let her know that our house got cameras even before she joined. Hopefully she won't get offended & will work carefully since she knows she's observed thru' cam..

I'm not going to install camera. But I don't intend to let maid handle baby, even though she has experience with newborns with her previous employers. My mum will handle the baby when I'm at work.
But I will get a safe...afraid jewellery disappear! Wonder if my handbags are at risk of being stolen though....but I'm being paranoid I think!

re cams
Actually i think it's necc even if there's someone at home to eye-power. Coz remember the case in Singapore? The MIL was at home to take care of bb with maid, she just stepped out for a while to buy things and the maid abused the bb already. If no cam, no one will know.

My mom is staying with me & will monitor my maid. But like what mashy said, there'll be time when she needs to step out for a while so it's good to install cameras. My hubby links the cameras to a website which we could monitor online from our office. Just need to log on with username & password.

re: cam
one of my gf install cam without her maid knowing, and she watch from her room. she saw once that the maid pinch and beat her son when he vomitted. and she eat their milk powder, and after the maid left, my fren cannot find the pan and pots, and she rewind the video and realized that the maid hide it all on top of the kitchen cupboard. so if u guys install camera, must install one in the kitchen also.

yes esther, indo-malay and sg-malay slightly diff. But they can still understand. When my mum had an indo maid before, i dun see much difficulties between them in communicating. But bcox my mum was learning basic eng that time, she expects the maid to learn eng with her slowly...haha

re: cam
i guess it is onli right for us to inform the maid tat we haf installed the camera. but where isit, and hw mani, jus dun reveal. bcos some maids will thought we bluff them onli. and moreover it's abit of their privacy also, so we might wan to tell them. esp if u are installing in the room. bcos dey can go tell tales abt u installing in the room, never let them know blah blah blah. but actualli we install in the room jus so we can watch the bb.
my auntie did inform her maid tat she have camera. but the maid doesn believe her and ran out of the house go upstairs or where leaving the gate wide open wif my cousin who is hafing learning difficulties in the home. how dangerous can it b? so better to be careful.

My hubby bought online from US, got 2 types. The 1st one is wireless type & can navigate up down, left right. He got it on offer price ard US$100, after conversion & shipment fee = S$250-260. The 2nd one is wired type & cannot navigate. Bought it ard US$60 (hubby told me now selling ard US$55) but this type needs to be installed in the rm that has internet connection, otherwise, need to buy adaptor here which costs ard S$100. Total up to about S$200plus too. Installation relatively quite fast if know how.
The 1st type is selling ard S$460 at Sim Lim. Following is the website which sells those cams & install for u too:

Hope it helps!

Hi Sunsweet,
You #1 sounds really sweet. Haha, dance together with your #2.
But I think the hard balling up of tummy is a Braxton Hicks contraction. I get them by the truck load =p
hi coolkero,
On MC till monday. Monday need to go back to gynae again for review to see if need some more bed rest. Sigh. think all in all, I would have accumulated 10 days of MC liao.... Might have to take my own annual leave if need to continue to rest....
Hi peanut,
Wah, you're such good girl, finish 2 tins of Similac. I only finish one, dun like the taste, so the 2nd tin still sitting around.... Dun feel like opening it cos need to finish it 3 months after opening. Intend to force myself to drink when I'm breastfeeding.

Re: Perineal massage
Owe u an answer
Mrs Wong said perineal massage done with 2 fingers on the bottom part of perineum towards the rectum. Caucasians r luckier as they're born with more flexible perineum compared to the Asians. I've found an article that might helps:

kittyng, my maid is only coming end June at earliest, I still dunno if I would lock up the master bedroom door when the maid is alone at home. Have to discuss with hubby, who would probably think that I'm too much =/
My gf (but she is quite paranoid and very particular) locks up all the room doors when the maid is alone at home....she doesn't want the maid to think that only the masterbedroom has valuables! But her indo maid does steal small things from her....like hairclip, nailclipper, new toothbrush.
bestberries > the first link is to MOM requirements for employers getting a foreign domestic worker. It also tells you that it is mandatory to take the course at SP which is the 2nd link. I don't think the maid agency can take the course for you, you actually have to use your SingPass to register, and it is an offence if someone else does it for you apparently. Cheating govt haha.
But the course is quite enlightening....I did learn some stuff from the course that I never knew, like how to make the maid sign off each month, so you have evidence that you gave her her salary if MOM officer checks, and how you cannot make the maid sleep in the living room, how you are legally accountable for the maid, even if the maid is under supervision by another member of the family.
Going for my 30th week checkup at KKH later
can't wait to see baby again!

dun need to worriew so much abt weight gain
bcos it's onli normal for us to gain. even more when previously u are underweight! my original weight gain before preggy is alreadi more then 50kg. nw onli alreadi 69.1kg! dun tink so much abt the weight gain and so on. jus b normal. jus make sure u dun eat too unhealthy or oily food should b okie
re: lock doors
if u wan ur maid to clean the room, then yeah, no point locking the door. moreover, i feel that whether u lock or not, there's bound to b somethin that the maid can steal. my family have been employing maids ever since im 1yr old, brother onli 4 months old. best maid work with us for abt 10yrs and later on went back to start a family.
thereafter we come across alot of diff types of maid. even haf maids who steal our BC, dun even know for wad. and steal display items. if dey realli wanna steal, aniting they take they also happi. i heard from one colleague, she have pots and pans missing. wondering where the maid kept it after stealing.
