i seriously think its just to make the mothers who had bad MS feel better.. like "oh, my child so clever.. My MS was worth it"

hahah..

IQ depends on so many factors lor, like genetics, nuturing, home environment, opportunities..
 


smtimes these medical or science ppl juz too free isnt it.. bahaha~ but smtimes quite fun la really.. like the most amazing tings they oso can go n study n link with most weirdest ting possible. wat MS=IQ.. MMR=autism... but it's really interesting smtimes.. like hw such studies actually happened..hw they get the results n all.

anyways... i wana ask arh.. whr u ladies get your BFW?? my mense is like.. late for 5-6days already. NO..im NOT preggy. i believe cos i was under quite abit of mental stress couple of weeks ago.. plus under too much drugs le. whether or not wana plan for #3..i tink i shld tiao my body n regulate my mense too first.. so, aft this mth's AF finally approach n go.. i wana start on that leh. but i duno go whr buy.. EYS? or dat's like over-priced kind rite?
 
fatbobo EYS very ex and the staff is not as experience as those old tradition chinese medical hall. That day I no time to go to my regular store so I drop by EYS to get some korea Ginseng, they dont hv the whole ginseng (which I usually buy cos whole ginseng cheaper) only slice one n very ex for the best grade.

Tiao body. I drink ba zen (with a additional ingredient to make it not heaty) once a week and the alternate week codyceps with baoseng. Now pregancy cannot drink ba zen so I will pass my left over packets to my mother. Good luck.
 
oh.. thanks BB..

im sure i will be too lazy to make any tonic soup. LOL~

so any chinese medical hall shld be able to get lar. is there any particular brand or smting?
paiseh arh.. i hv never taken BFW before.. so ya.. quite kuku!!
 
fatbobo,
Making tonic soup is very simple. Just put the herbs in the slow cook with pork ribs then add hot water n brew high for 3hrs. I brew for whole family to drink during weekend when my MIL is not at home (she doesnt like the herbal soup). Just set n go. If you know you are coming back later than 3 hrs then put to medium heat.
My hb and my maid love the family herbal soups. When you enter the house, you can smell the soup. During my confinement, I buy a lot of tonic cos this is the chance to "jia po" n wont feel heaty, luckily my confinement lady is experienced to cook everything for me.

Though I always frequent the same medical hall for years, you cant totally trust them. For example codyceps, you must see them grind to powder, dont leave the shop. I never trust ready made codycep powder. Even for pearl, I want to see the grade she gives me before I let her grind. If you dont know how to see, ask them to show you the lousy one to compare n explain to you why so ex for the higher grade. It's interesting to learn these herbs. There are fake herbs so be careful when you just started to patronize the shop.
 
sharon,
Tks for the link ... so many people buying from her! But i'm giving it to pple so thot i'd buy those from shops cos got nice packaging

bobo,
Agree with BB. It's very easy to cook tonic soup de. Just dump all the herbs in the slow cooker and 3 or 4 hrs later, it's done! Even for me who's sometimes lazy and doesn't know how to cook can do it

Normally i just buy those packet herbs from supermarket. And ya, when i was ttc for ovann, i made quite alot of such soups ... no need those 'complicated' types, just normal herbal chicken soup packet, or at most, the ba zen type.
 
Bobo,
i bott mine from EYS dun dare buy from those neighbourhood medical hall leh cos i dun 1 those from china 1... n i find EYS 1 more recognise bah... if not cook ba zhen also can... fo rme i dun like soupy stuff so i drink v little such soup rather eat BFW..
 
hehe.. thanks.. k la.. i guess i will get frm EYS la.

BB/pegs:: i tink last time i used to boil some tonic soup.. prolly juz those 'general bu' kind de.. but i tink aft preggy.. aft birth.. n all through this while.... no action liao le! im so overwhelmed with laziness now! this is so not a good ting!!!!


oh btw.. is there anything (or i shld say medicine) we can eat to get AF back? hmmm~ prolly i shld visit the doc eh!
haiyo.. need to spend money agn le!
 
fatbobo
maybe a coincidence. but i had a early m/c (chemical pregnancy) then. so i tio my body w EYS BFW. one week 1 bottle. 2 cycles over and i got preggie again last time.
 
smurfy:: oh im so back to asking wat all these terms mean agn.. sorry.. wat is chemical pregnancy?

oh no.. i foresee alot of money to buy the BFW le. juz few week back spent $300 on 2 days' of 2 dosages of the "hou ning" for my girls.. i shld hv sign up the membership! hahahaha~
 
fatbobo,
I've more than 5 boxes of EYS BFW at home ah. Though it's not as good as tonic soup, I just eat since I've a lot. One bottle per week. You join the member then every birthday you hv 20% off all items. Just stock up lor. The birdnest they limit to 6 half dozens for birthday girl but very good price, stock up lor! Hehehhe... I just stock up in Dec 2010. But birdnest must buy those from medical hall best grade during pregnancy n brew it. Those bottle ones are really for fun.
 
bobo,
tt time my menses go haywire when i go n see gynae he say my hormone inbalance body din produce egg so he gave me clomid to induce egg n make my cycle norm again... so maybe u try tcm or BFW first? if dun work den see gynae?
 
btw, tmr i gng GUG in Novena by myself by MRT so shd i take underpass or wat? heard from pegsfur the underpass is not pram friendly right?
 
bobo, i think its the stress and meds lah.. give it a while, dont think so much and it will come back soon..

that time i was stressed plus sick, AF was overdue by 2 weeks..
 
babyS:: ya lor.. i believe so too.. stree + meds. but anyhow, will juz go c doc n get some medication.. den can start to try tiao myself. lala~
 
donkeymami,

Yup .. when u reached the other end of the underpass, there's a flight of stairs at the entrance. Unless u ask someone to help u carry the stroller, else use the traffic light like me. Er ... hope it doesn't rain lah ... like me, kena raining past few days. Luckily i have the plastic shield for prams.
 
donkeymami,
U are welcome

Mummies, when u cook for you kids now, do u add in seasoning? Sometimes i try not to put, but ovann's already eating outside food, which def contains seasoning and even msg. So now when i cook for him, i'll put in a little salt, soy sauce, pepper or sesame oil. And i'm using the Svenson's chicken broth i bought from ntuc to cook the soup too. Is it ok ah?
 
piggy, yup she ok alr..so tmr can go for class finally.

Ya he not gng wif us cos he need to do some spring cleaning & we get a PT helper to help us clean windows & grills.
 
Pegsfur,
when i cook for him i try not to add seasonin.. sumtime i will gave him partial of our food too but usu with little seasonin la like steam egg or fried egg or steam fish... now i tink it pretty ok to gave them some seasoning but i try to cut down la after all no hurry to gave them salt, soy sauce etc mah..
 
DOnkeymami,
did u call last wk n inform them JOvia is sick etc huh? cos i was so busy n my HB was call back for exercise last min so i din call wor..
 
You knw i asked for MC, my PD ask she in school alr? i told her it's enrichment class can tell from her expression tat wat a KS parents lolz
 
pegs, i use seasoning, but very minimal (U see all my FB posts, its all like one drop of soya sauce (max 2) per portion of food kind)..

when we eat out, i'll try to remove as much sauce.. or if noodle soup, i'll further dilute with hot water..

its ok to introduce some flavour in, but in moderation i guess..

svenson stock. quite salty right? any msg?
 
Donkeymami,
icic... tink they dun care bah as long as u pay u go anot our business haha... my HB wil be the 1 accompanyin Kyler so i need to find sumthing to do for tt 1.5hr lol~
aiyo it only a once a wk class mah... n we only started now leh..many pp be4 12mth alr start lo lol~
 
baby s,
Yup, got msg ... gonna dilute the soup with plenty of water then.

mashy,
For soup leh? Your gal also drinks what u all are drinking? U dun dilute at all?
 
Pegsfur,
for soup usu i will scoop 1 bowl up be4 adding salt wor... cos most soup dun have to add seasoning until almost ready mah..
 
pegs,

my boy already dun like his own bland food so nowadays he just eat whatever we are eating. But my mum will usually dun cook so saltish for dish and soups.
 
err question

none of your kids eat porridge oredi???

i really need to do something then. my girl's on porridge most days.. except one meal of soup pasta per wk. she have 2nd helping of dinner when we have ours. but then even ours.. my soup dun add seasonings at all? no salt at all?
 
celine
did u ask abt d-story club tat time? i have not started. coz school renov. will be starting in march. nothing in comparsion to JG. but i am a lazy mum and just want her to get used to the school environment before she joins there in future.
 
Pegsfur

for soup I don't add seasoning coz very tasty already. So she will just drink like us lor. If it's outside, I will limit. She's already asking for our drinks when we go out! She kept pointing and saying 'drink drink' and 'cold cold'. If we don't give, she kicks up a big fuss. So now we only order drinks after we finish eating.
 
mashy,
How come my soup not tasty?? Hahaha ... is it becos i dun cook long enough ah? I normally cook simple soup like abc soup and corn soup. It tastes a littly bland that's why i add in little salt just to taste.

Same leh .. my boy oso starting to want to drink our drinks but can't cos we are drinking coffee & tea mah.

piggy,
Why for steam eggs and fish u still need to add seasoning leh? I thot eggs are already quite flavourful with their own taste, no need to add anything. For me the only dishes that i dun add seasonings at all are eggs, cod fish, and salmon.
 
Pegsfur
what do u add in your soup? Onions, tomatoes will make the soup sweet. Or maybe u add too much water and didn't boil long enough. Soups can be tasty without salt. If u use pork, diff parts will yield different level of sweetness too.
 
smurfy,
hi its you who sign yr kiddo in d'story? haha I thot mashy :p

so you think JG stil better? haiyo but this JG still did not call me despite my boy coming to 18mths soon...tempting to joing GUG or other class instead of waiting and waiting
 
mashy,

These 2 things i never add ... normally just pork rib, carrot, potato, corn. I think maybe i din cook long enough bah.

Onions & tomatoes can be added to ALL soups to make it sweet? Cos sometimes the taste like dun match.
 
mashy:: which part of the pork will make the sweetest soup arh? hehe.

nwadays, i hfta accommodate my indo maid..so cant use pork to boil soup. using chicken bone + chicken feet doesnt really bring out the taste..sianz! smtimes i juz feel like using pork..n said simply tell her this soup she cant drink! hahaha.. evil! but actually my maid told us before she not so much a soup person..she will normally juz eat the stuffs inside.
 
pegs, my mum makes stock for shayna's food hor. Just chicken bones, onion,garlic, carrot, corn, potatoes, tomatoes and whatever else she can find to throw in and simmer in slow cooker..

Its so fragrant, and like what mashy says, will be tasty..

WHen u make stock/ soup, dont over boil it. Leave it at a simmer..
 
baby s .. wah, yr mum's stock sounds solid. These days i dun make stock le .. too lazy, haha ... i just cook the soup on the day itself.

Fatbobo

my confinement nanny says 'ba tau'. Think that is loin ribs. U can ask from market. The butchers will be able to tell u.

Pegsfur
for abc soup and corn soup, u can add onions and tomatoes. They make a big diff to your soup. U try it out. Some pp will just add onions.

For lotus roots soup, I will add honey dates and dried cuttlefish. So yes, not all soups use the same things to 'ti wei'.
 
Pegsfur

U can also use leek.

I make chicken soup with leek and Ginger. Tastes great! Left over soup are kept as stock for porridge next day.
 
Pegsfur,
cos steam egg i will add mince meat the meat i will put seasoning...
for fish steam 1 mus put some seasoning mah...i usu cook the HK style 1 i dun steam salmon 1 usu i cook teriyaki for salmon..

Bobo,
ya ba tou gt less oil n taste better...
 

mashy,
Aiyoh .. dun quite like leek .. haha. Anyway, just back from ntuc and bought tomatoes! But i forgot to buy onions. For chicken soup, maybe i just put chicken & ginger, also can rite?

piggy,
Oh ic ... i thot why steam egg still must put seasoning
