ya lor, if don't work, cannot claim relief which is wasted, right... I was thinking of converting to part-time if I can. Unfortunately, my company don't have part-time positions.
<font color="119911">kiki</font>
Yup, I took 1 month no-pay leave right after maternity leave. But the days flew by like nobody's business! before I know it, I had to get back to work already. I can't say I like or dislike the experience, cos it was like a "holiday" and bb was stil young - only latch & many friends told me he's easy to take care compared to theirs. *touchwood* but he hardly cries and fusses unless he's hungry or feeling hot, so he's quite fun to be with. I'm sure going forward, there'll be lots more to do. But I sure am looking forward to making the freshest puree for him
But will of course, hate the washing, especially if his poo stain the clothes. So, half work and half home will be the best for me. Provides a sense of time for me also - everyday stay home, I kinda lose track of which day, haha. Unfortunately, my company is all or nothing.
<font color="119911">Kam</font>
Thx for your encouragement. I wana be tai tai too, haha. You're lucky you're with your kids and saw all their milestones. I know many moms who miss the first times as they were at work.
Ya. stress-free job is good. I should go look for one too. But nowadays, do they still exist??
I also don't think I am SAHM-material. I don't even cook before I had kid, so what more in the future? I was so dead-sure that I'll NEVER be SAHM cos like you all say, 24/7 can ki-xiao. But now, he so cute and maybe it's time for me to start learning how to cook my favourite dishes from my mom!
<font color="119911">bbq98</font>
yup yup, VERY difficult decision!

most of the toys there are less than or equal to $50 with the exception of those totally new toys or the bigger ticket items like jumperoo
but alot of toys don't seem to be working..or maybe run out of battery. won't know for sure until bring home and try
the grand pianos i saw were all display set and no sound, din see any sets in boxes. display set about $15
same for the laugh & learn chair, only saw display set.
but then they refresh the stock on certain days
for walker, got a few to choose from, costing either $50 or less

ahhhhh cannot admit not getting young anymore... freaking tired from shopping today and ytd....
been very gd not not going out for a few wks so ytd n today were super siong!
went taka early at 10 am to shop. hate it when it gets crowded and will be difficult to choose and walk ard, esp clothes! made the right choice man!
medela bottles
quite worth it if use for storage only cos u either got to buy the teats and caps locally if want to use as drinking bottle but a lot of the newer freestyle we got from us are the latest version, so not compatible. can bring all old bottles down cos they will donate $1 to comm chest for every bottle so can clear space as well as do charity!
pigeon
the 50% off is while stock last for their bpa free btls and must exchange one for one!
then meet rach to get the jug then shake shake to isetan. so many ppl!!! got stuff and left to meet kris liao. had lunch finally! sigh my poor boy these 2 days suffer w me. also like rach's one, nv drink haha! then made way home to unload all loots (heng i brought stroller so i really pei fu rach!), feed jacob cereal n puree and went out again! so shag the both of us ko on the train to boon lay to go mattel sale. luckily the feeder bus journey to the warehouse is quite short. walk a bit reach liao. and its very hot there! jacob fussed a bit cos he is overly tired/hungry/hot! but hor, all buy for him!!!
got a grand piana display set for $15, a telephone for $15, display infant to toddler rocker $40 and a "car"? for $30. super worth it man!
for the grand piano, got 1 or 2 keys a bit spoilt and there's a missing caterpillar but for $15 i dun mind lor, cos its quite cute. the staff was so nice, wanted to help me change batteries to try to see if other sets are working since the one i took was e only one tt got sound but i told them nvm lar, cos they are closing also. haha lucky my son's face is "heavy" enuf, my fil came to fetch us cos he works quite nearby! yeah! finally i can rest in the comfort of the car! haha he bot one more toy for jacob n tt alone cost $100 liao, same price as my 4 items! he super dote jacob lor... had wanted to pay for my stuff also but i told him nvm. then off to pick hubs and do dinner. now home, cleared some of the loots and i am super tired! gonna zzz soon...
mattel sale update
jumperoo $200 for brand new. got display also i think, will be cheaper
the rockers are pretty cheap if u get the display set and there are sets which are still quite ok one.
got big big items like slides and tables
booster seat at $35 i think
oh yah, do treat the staff there nice cos they were really nice and helpful! even though they were tired and were closing, they still helped me to carry all the stuff to the car. one of the uncle even brought out a toy for me cos he said it was a very sellable toy and he managed to find one cos tt's the only pc left. haha luckily bbq bot for me le. gg to zzzzzz now!

nothing much at the taka sale but good for those who wants to buy pram or car seat.
fp sale - love it but the place is one of the hottest and dustiest place i have ever been to. i could have just brought along my passport and pop by jb (so far for me)! pls refrain from bringing your baby.
i went imm too. the place quite impressive, considering the last time i went was more than 10 yrs back. there were only best denki, some miserable misc shops, some bridal boutique and reno companies.

I think gotta see heng suai one. because all the toys are stacked on top of each other, so you gotta slowly check through everyone to find the best working one. don't go if you don't have the luxury of time.
ling
ya, $200 is for brand new set. i didn't see any display set for jumperoo
milkyway
no, din see any exersaucer at mattel sale
actually, only a few display set lah. the rest of the toys are in boxes. but then hor, the boxes are super dirty and some are torn and dented. so don't expect too much. really gotta bring home and clean well if you buy toys from there

can can! can screw to freestyle just that for some of us here, we got the new US sets, which comes with the 2009 teats which are wider than those sold in sg. hence our caps are transparent and those sold here are solid yellow ones. haha paiseh ah, so bad in explaining!!! sg model freestyle uses the old teat which are not very wide so for me i cant use tgt with my teats, so use purely for storage.
<font color="ff6000">michelle</font>
not all, only the grand piano and rocker. cos the rocker only $40 for the display and $120 for the new one and most prob cant use for very long liao so chin chai buy lor. got vibration one mah. now at tan chong servicing car and he sitting on it entertaining himself. haha better than stroller leh, lighter also! can bring out to friends/relatives' hse lor. i saw my sil buy the maclaren one for my niece and tot it was a gd idea, give them their own chair lor
<font color="ff6000">milkyway</font>
yah like wad kris said lor but the newer ones like jumperoo and high chairs, their boxes are new and in gd condition, so price also higher if u compare to the older model toys
