Dazz: Yep, very strange to pro-rate I thought. Am going to discuss further with my boss - not that it will change the figures but more to register my unhappiness. Then again, I will need a plan B to register my unhappiness more convincingly [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

rurucat,
but but... there is nothing to buy from mothercare.... maybe shoes for C2. since poor boy doesnt have any shoes. he outgrew all of C1's previous shoes. the foot length is already 16cm, so I hv to buy 17/18cm. big foot!
ming,
no pro rating of bonus due to maternity leave on my end... bring it up to your boss. you also need to think back if this was brought up during the interview process (guess not). go fight for your money back.
psst. i find this tip v useful to harness my energies to stand up for myself. if this situation were happening to bbE, what would you do? betcha you would use your mummy's tiger will to fight for her, tooth and nail. now... do the same for yourself too!

ming,
plan B. hehe. another job offer?
remember: boss overrides HR if boss really really wants to retain and motivate you. tell boss you are really unmotivated now as you did not expect pro ration at all.... then see how your boss takes the conversation from that starting point.
dazz,
i also see phone screen until my eyes are crossed. LOL
egg
all these posts abt eggs. reminds me how sensitive C2 is to egg. i ate one bowl of ramen over lunch some time ago (maybe mid mar? or early apr...), then pumped out my milk for that afternoon and froze separately.... this week, I ran out of FBM so asked maid to warm up on Mon and give that bottle of egg-tainted milk for C2 to drink. that night, his ear lobe started to blister, and poor boy scratched at his ear continuously. quickly put fucicort. Mr C and aunt scolded me [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
and THAT is how allergic C2 is. i refuse to touch any tong shui outside, and any fried noodles w egg. i would rather suffer and eat mian xian or bee hoon or bee ta mak....

bbdust,
havent thought abt it yet... i will speak to her sometime abt MMR. later la... not due yet. after C2 is 2yo. i only had C1 vaccinated after 2yo anyway.
but i might want to vaccinate C2 sooner as 1. C1 brings back all sorts of germs fm school and 2. C2 is definitely not autistic. kaypor him can even talk (= eh eh eh) to strangers in the lift. very plugged-in socially.

orangey,
cannot comment cos don't know the price for wooden one. ex or not depends on how you see it bah. if i just buy the train alone, it cost me about $30 but its much longer and bigger loh, easily about 30 cm long. hahahaha.....
the price looks like more ex then the take along series. to me, they are the same as take along series. maybe dazz can comment on what is the difference between take along series and this wooden ones.

Thanks for the support! Apparently it's a HR policy (which doesn't appear anywhere in our contracts). I have registered my displeasure with my boss but that's really how far it goes I think. In my line, we have to keep time sheets every day as we bill our clients for every minute we spend on their matters. This means that my bonus has been computed on the basis of the time I returned from maternity leave to the cut-off date for appraisal. As a result, one third of my bonus has been pro-rated away [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
Orangey, sorry ah.. i don't really keep track of the prices for the wooden series corx we dun collect. As for difference between the take-along series and the wooden series, size wise, almost the same.. wooden series slightly bigger. Take-along series made of metal. Take-along series have their own track which is grey in color. Wooden series' track are made of wood (that of course rite! lolz)
As for the series that both celyn and i have, it's the blue track series (aka tomy). The trains are plastic and run by battery.
i like the lock-lock bargain you got leh.. knew abt it too late liaoz (just only saw ur FB photos) haha.. next time got lobang.. remember to share share k!! hee. thanks !!

Ming, wow.. your company's HR really "calculative" huh.. so to them, the time used to "generate income" then can be "rewarded". Hhhmm.. then they are not really answering to government's call of encouraging for more child birth ah. Having a kid is already a big expense and yet, still have to take bonus cut. =(
celyn,
thanks dear. but dun need to feel too sorry for me la. after all, tis my choice. feel sorry for C2, enough already.
dazz,
then i think i have just one take along series.
enough is enough. already occupy one daybed in the living room.
ming,
that makes sense economically to the company but still seems unjust to you. HR policy? is that an industry practice? perhaps you could check with ur former firm and find out. just for knowledge. so that you know better when it comes to bbE2.

Cellow: Will first ascertain if another colleague who went on maternity leave suffered the same fate before contemplating next move. May then whine to ex boss about the situation but then very paiseh if I am offered a new job when I don't have a real intention to take it up. Mustn't burn my bridges right?

Ystd I tested DH on having #2.
Me: Dear, the storeroom is full. I m lookind at selling off or give away the walker, bumbo seat, playpen, extra stroller, infant car seat cheaply.
DH: Why sell or give away? Keep it first lah! Still can be used mah.
Me: YH outgrown them and she is so active, she would not want to stay in playpen, bumbo seat & walker anymore. Keep for WHO??
DH: Ahhhh... Just keep first lah.
Me: Hmmp!@#%^&
That's the end!
