Ivy,

my work depends on the projects that I'm working on, sometimes also very hectic.
the sian-nest part is the need to do conference call at night.

but the trend now is "outsourcing" to the lower cost countries. recruitment here is quite low, and if there is, I am seeing most of them r either "黑色会" or "玛丽亚" (if u know what I mean) ppl. quite a sad trend to see.

 

[ainsley_yip]

Roxy, thks! =) nn was ok last nite. Woke up 2 times bt slp till nw... At least nt every hr or 2 I happy Liao. Heehee.

 

[cayenne]

any of ur bbs seeing PDs from International Child and Adolescent Clinic at Mt Alvernia?

I tried calling the clinic to make appt for my bb's 5th mth jab for the past few days, but line always engage..

 

[miuy]

Cayenne - mi!! Mi gg tis fri!! U shd book when u went for the 4th mth assessment cuz their phone forever no one picks up
or forever engaged!! Anyway u can oso walk in cuz they dun care if u hav appt.. They juz go according to the healthbook u place in their basket!! Stoopie rite?

Ice- no le!! Not bringing bb!! Too young liao!!

Feel damn zzpie!! Like zombie!!

 

[cayenne]

yah.. very stoopie!! then make appt for wat? sighz..

anyway, i JUST managed to call thro, and they told me Dr Koh on vacation, will only be back in Sept!! *faintz*

me no like Dr Ong... he sounded quite impatient when I asked him questions... always make me feel like i'm asking stupid qns...

dun tell me i gonna change PD again......

 

[miuy]

Cayenne- wat abt the other Indian pd? Heard he is good!!

Mi pumping now.. Jia lat!! The ss like gettin more n more pathetic!!

Genesis - how is first day at work??

 

[manunited]

miumiu, have u been pumping frquently?

 

[cayenne]

Dr Vella? My hubby was asking me to bring my boy there too.. haha.. told him then we will be the only chinese family seeing him.. :x

 

[genesis28]

Miu, siAnz leh.... Mi pumpin now. Told hubby juz nw I dun wana work then he say I gotta look for another husband liao....arrgggg.....

 

[miuy]

Mu- ya.. Consistently every 6 hrs!! Sigh! Cham Cham!!

Cayenne- no le!! Mu c a lot of Chinese look for him wo!! Orrh!! U racist!! Hee!!

Genesis- ha! So funnie!! Frankly speaking.. Mi rather work lo.. Minus the pumpin la!! Reali tiring!!

 

[eyevee]

ang kuku, i know the 2 grp of pple u referring to. My hubby use to work in a company also a lot of them.

My pd is very good though bit expensive hehe, but u all dun go see him ok, wait he very busy hahahaha.

 

[manunited]

how much can u yield for every 6hrly? My pumping hrs also varies...sometimes 4hrs, sometimes 5 hrs, sometimes 6-8hrs....esp wkend, not consistent....plus my hubby just bou a new pump for me so must carry on to be more hardworking or else waste the $$$...

 

[cayenne]

miumiu, haha.. no lah.. but everytime i go to the clinic, only see the indian families visiting him wor... anyway, prob will go see dr vella too lahz.. dun think it'll be gd to keep changing pd for my boy.. but horz, when i went to ICAC on my bb's 3rd mth, the clinic (both the temp n the current one) very chaotic wor..

are all bb clinics like this?

 

[arisz]

I'm going to start work tmr liao... Sian!
No more enjoying life!

 

[icegoh]

genesis28, ur hubby so funnie... but honestly, i also sometimes prefer working cos taking care of a bb at home all day also not very easy, esp now my gal always want to go out...

my timing also varies greatly cos i need to attend meeting n like 2 weeks ago need to go conference, cannot pump as i like.. somemore sat n sun, i only pump early in the morn, rest of the time all latch on..

 

[manunited]

ice, i dont latch my boy since he was 3mths old...sometimes i tried to latch him abit after pumping, he does not seem to like it anymore. cant help seeing how big he has grown while latching...missed those days man!

weekends my pumping reduced from 5 times to abt 3-4times....

 

[icegoh]

manu, i very lazy to wash, sterilize, pump n then still haf to feed.. so she has to latch on.. otherwise, go out very troublesome leh.. very bad hor...

 

[jaclee]

[roxyz]

manunited n ice I oso miss e latching days nw I try to latch my gal on she dun want le haiz

Miu my SS oso drop a lot tink nw e most only 700 per day sianz these few days esp pathetic Duno is it coz I'm sick n tired ..
I deleted e poto from my camera le paiseh ah I try to see previous archive have or nt.. U will need:
Milkbags
Cooler box or stylofoam box
Cooler gel

I bought e small stylofoam box from ntuc n put a pkt of cooler gel,mine is a flat light blue hard casing from daiso. But v impt u must check whether ur hotel fridge can freeze or nt coz most hotels uses bar fridge n no freezer compartment then no pt bringing back.. Another ting to note is e flight difference cause bali is only 2.5hrs to sing.. So total hrs e Milkbags r inside e box is only 2.5HRs before flight departure plus estimated half HR from airport to home so total abt 5.5hrs inside e cooler box n it remains nicely frozen.. But flight from beijing is much longer n I'm nt sure whether can e Milkbags remain frozen for so long.. Either get a better cooler box or u can do a test.. put a few pkts frozen water inside e box wif e gel n see how long e water starts to melt before u decide whether can proceed to brg BK or nt.. I did dis test when I went bkk 2 yrs aog

 

[genesis28]

Oh my.... Pumpin at work is really tiring n supply also drop! Ahhhh!!!!!

 

[Castle House]

mushloom.. *hi 5*..

I also don't dare to cut bb's fingers... hb will do the job....

He also accidentally cut the flesh once.. and is the thumb where she will suck.. and bb cried very loudly.. i wasn't there to witness.. but when I am home.. he told me.. and then showed me.. with a guilty look.. *laugh*

Poor.. bb.. wants to suck.. but think is painful... so she suck.. and cry.. let.. go.. suck and cry... and I got to carry her till she falls asleep..

 

[lynnlim00]

just bring my Jovin see doc. He got eczema. heard liao no mood feel sad

 

[huggiez]

i am very fed up wif my mom... juz now she asked if i ever consider family planning. i say yes and why did she ask tat. she was saying since got planning why my two boys age gap so small... hello... age gap small means #2 is accident? sickening. i told her off saying my isaac is a planned pregnancy and nt an accident. irritated that a precious gift becomes an accident.

 

[eyevee]

my girl seems like wanna bite things recently, u all know where to get fun or cute looking teethers ar... i remember someone got 1 ice cream one...

 

[manunited]

By what age will the bb be tested whether got eczema anot? is it most of the rashes will mean high chance is eczema?

Lynn, does you boy has rashes?

 

[calamari]

Jaclee: Any idea agar agar how much will the tiny love arch costs with shipping?

 

[lynnlim00]

ya he got rashes. Then all folded area easily become red patches and a few of it watery n sticky. Somemore he got v rough skin.

 

[huggiez]

lynn u can try to u wipe clean with wet cloth, then after awhile apply california non talc powder. as for the rough skin, u can try applying calendula cream. works for my #1

 

[jaclee]

robovac.. haha.. didn't read much on the forum, i was just browsing around, then i saw side brushes and bumper..

calamari, the tiny love arch is about 1.8 pounds which is about 1kg & based on the dimensions given, it should be between SGD$15-20.
Is it worth getting?

ivy, dunno whether you want to get this teether?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002Q92V0/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
i want to see whether kiddy palace sells or not.. dunno whats the price here..

 

[ash_sg]

jaclee - i saw some of the toys - i have the fairy from lamaze, very similar to the peacock and my baby loves it. Even if he's crying, he'll see it and immediately stop crying

Lynn - even my pd said my baby has eczema - he has red blotches on his back,neck,hands. He gave me cetaphyl as a cleanser which i use instead of soap and topicream as moisturiser. Neck is better but hands and back is the same.. looking for a better cure

 

[jaclee]

lynn, you can try calendula cream. heard it works for eczema.
wherever my girl's face got rashes, i apply.. then quite fast gone liao.. but i have to quickly change my bedsheet, wipe all the places her face tend to get contact with. Better still, clean her face frequently, but sometimes lazy.. we always tend to kiss her face, but my mum always nag at us, say our face got oil, our mouth not clean, will make her face red red..but.. can't resist..

 

[lynnlim00]

thanks Jaclee, ash n musloom

Ok, I'll try calendula cream hope he'll get better.

 

[genesis28]

Ask u all, Do u all reuse your milkbags? Some of the mummies @ my IFC reuse them leh...

 

[eyevee]

jac, dunno if its thin enuff, i find the pigeon teether i got for my girl is too thick for her to bite.

 

[roxyz]

[kitsune_sg]

hihi, back from my hotel stay and photo shoot with Bambini. Asri is nice but my no. 1 is super stingy with her smiles. Hope the photos turn out nice. ;P

Raelynn just turned 5 months old last Sun and she is learning to smile and laugh.

 

[calamari]

Roxy: hehe thx! It can most likely fit in 1 of my 3 strollers!

Miu: i asked the hotel concierge to freeze the ice pk for me then brought bk only the previous day's milk.

Weiting: u can buy Lamaze toys from Mothercare. Many variety there. As for my boy, he is now v entertained with the Jumperoo and another exersaucer.

 

[calamari]

Miu: I will be starting with rice cereal from Organix. Can be purchased at Vitakids. When intro new food to bb, feed the same thing for 3 days to determine he is not allergic to the food. After 3 days then intro something new if u want to. I will intro fruit purée (likely apple) after cereal.

 

[mianling]

Mtdt, i've checked with my hb. He will be going to London end May. U want him to get anything for u?
