(2010/05) May 2010 mtb

alina & Wanderleibe,

my arm also big.. see myself in picture look like aunty.

First cannot wear fitting clothes.

Second my arm area and tummy so prominent.

wear baggy clothing ,make me look worse.



i have to do something now.

i want to be pretty mummy :>


 


Luckyone thanks... i think i have one brown skin white meat in fridge. HAHA. i shall attempt tomorrow hope he doesn't spit out at me again. Grrrrr.



Lin, me same same... arms jiggling so dare not wear sleeveless clothes. I bought new swimsuit to go swimming with bb but so embarrassed in the pool, some more have to stand up in baby pool, no water to hide. Haiz. Baggy clothes for work. I also buy some stuff at the BPs section for Plus Sizes. Sad story. Alina I think i look 6mths...

 
hi mummies, Friday! Yippee!



hi sheryl,

collected the voucher from dphoto foilo, think we should have a photogenic baby contest? the winner of the photogenic contest will get the big prize from dphoto folio.



What do the rest of the mummies think?

 
Luckyone , aiyo cannot bou chap lah...

handsome son must go with pretty mummy mah.



recently had a annual dinner.my manager brought his 2 daughters (secondary level) and his wife (so slim and pretty).

when someone remark his wife is very pretty. Can see my manager's face with smile.

 
I think we did discuss on photo related contest for xmas before. Unless there is some independent 3rd party judging, there might be unhappiness. Will the sponsor want to come down n do the judging?

Sheryl, Impulse: need to chk if the dphoto n e "official" photographer r ok with e arrangement. Cos their base biz is photography. Might have conflict of interest.

 
Hi mummies

It has been long that I login. So busy with work and bb has been cranky. She has finally graduate from toothless club. In one go, she got herself 3; 2 bottom, 1 top. This has caused great discomfort for her. Every night is sleepless nite for me. She will wake up at least twice. And very bad of me, I took away her pacifier for gd, where she needs it most now.



For the banner, can someone collect from me? I'm in SK.

 
Thanks impulse for helping collect the vouchers.[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



Photogenic contest is a good idea, but as chloemum and michelle mentioned, unless it is judged by a 3rd party, kinda hard ah.

Or maybe we can have a "closed box" voting by the mommies? and not allowed to vote for your own child?

1 vote per family?



Chloemum, I have not confirm with the photographer whom offered free photography for our event. how abt your friend?

diapers.com have also contacted me with their offers of sample diapers for us, upon providing our full contact details.(They promise not to call or disclose our details)

Have they made arrangements with you?



Michelle, is there a games organiser? I have 2 sets of 40pcs vouchers with me, and impulse has dfolio's vouchers.

I'm still awaiting for more vouchers to be sent to me.and some other replies.(can refer to spreadsheet for updates)

Nestle will deliver to the location directly.



Qn:Do we get bags to contain these items, or save the earth, mommies bring a bigger diaperbag to contain these goodies?[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif][IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



Have a nice weekend ladies!

 
Sheryl, my friend will pass on the photography. Thanks for holding.



Diapers.com: yes. the conditions they gave me is the same. Must provide details up till nric number level. Not sure if we want to do that. cos they will only give tape type diapers. i think most mummies would be moving towards pants type already.



Bags: We can try to get sponsors for the bags. e.g. Nestle is giving us stuff right, we can ask them to give bags also lar.



Photogenic is a bit hard to judge lar. You wanna try to negotiate with the photographer, if he wanna sponsor a prize for the "Most photogenic baby"? Then he can be the judge too. hahahaha...



As for the other voucher, maybe we do a most coordinated family? Den mummies can vote.

 
Hi Sheryl



Can I trouble you to summarize what are the sponsored items that we managed to get so far , what are the 2 sets of 40pcs vouchers that you have and what are the vouchers that Impulse has so that I can start allocating prizes . Also what is Nestle providing us with ?



Eh no one volunteer to be games organizer so I guess I will have to stand in again . But there will only be 1 games which is crawling competition



Yuh I think most photogenic will be too difficult , let's do the most co-ordinated family instead



As for bags , I think try to get from Nestle will be the best if not mummies just bring their own bags lah

 
NHK , thanks for doing up the banner , you're not joining us for the Birthday Bash ?



I can collect the banner from you since I stay along the NEL too .... let me know if you prefer weekend or weekday and what time works ... I can meet you at one of the NEL stations , either Potong Pasir or Serangoon or Kovan if possible , if not convenient then I can take a train down to Seng Kang

 
Luckyone: There's very limited classes for infant swimming. And each class takes up to 6 bbs only. The one i am attending is sunday 9am. The coordinator was telling me she has a few ppl on waiting list for trial class. So was wondering if any mummies here signed up.



Michelle: Would crawling contest be very messy? U think standing contest will work? hahahahaha...

Or we have a follow instructions contest? i think some mummy suggested too. Like "Simon says".

 
ChloeMum , crawling contest more fun and takes up more time than standing contest . I am planning to have babies do in groups of 5 or 6 then the winner of each round will go to the final round to compete



Simon says will be difficult to do as a contest cos for eg every baby will have a different way of waving bye bye so will be hard to judge

 
Michelle,

I might be traveling and my schedule has yet to be confirmed *sigh* A lot of hiccups at work lately that clashes everything. Even my girl's birthday party has to shift. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

I think some mummies stay very near to me. I'm wondering whether they can help instead. I'm near to Rivervale Mall. Save the trouble for you [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
hi phytws,



I prefer the cupcakes, more cute. The other one is fine also.



Hi michelle,



When you all talk about most coordinated family meaning coordinated in terms of outfits. I think that will do as well. I got 50pcs of $50 off voucher from dphoto and $120 family photopackage. Was thinking of using the $120family photopackage as a prize for photogenic baby/most coodinated family. Think we use a voting system. might be easier than inviting other people to be a judge.



Remember during the Christmas party,Chloemum has a great suggestion about game. Something simple, like longest legs, longest fingers, things like that. We can do it this time round if you all think is possible.



Michelle, think your suggestion about crawling contact feasible.

 
Nestle have not emailed me the details of the goodies, but there will be milk and food.

Also I've hinted to them to provide a hamper for our game prize which they have verbally agreed.



Michelle, updates on the sponsors/details can be found on the excel spreadsheet.

Can view it>?

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AkBY-BoDK24adC1yOVdTNjExVXY0ZTV5ZEVYajFVc0E&hl=en&authkey=CJTWo8cB#gid=0



BAgs: I've asked Nestle but they do not provide, so either we buy or mommies just bring a bigger bag?



Diapers.com, Are mommies interested in providing details I/C etc. to get a free tape diaper sample OR prefer to pass?

Gotta self collect at Bukit batok during office hrs?




I'll approach the photographer about our arrangements.

 
Sheryl , thanks ! For the 5 sets of $180 voucher that you got , is it $180 off the photo shoot or it's pay just $180 for the photo shoot or it's a free photo shoot worth $180 for the recipient ?



Think let's just pass on the diapers , too troublesome



As for bags , I think we can just leave it for now



Yup let the photographer know we are ok to use his free photography services for that day as long as he doesn't sell the pictures to any public media



Thanks much for your help ! Did you try emailing Mothercare and Lamkins if they are int to sponsor something ?

There are a couple of highchairs inside, so good. And also a cot, ideal for nappy changing.

Since the decor on the walls are alll carebear theme, maybe we can consider tis theme to match even for cupcakes?

BABY PARTY GAME IDEAS



Stumbled upon this online.



Take a Guess

Fill a jar with dry Cheerios cereal, a baby's favorite! You'll need to count

the cereal before placing it in the jar. Every guest will write their name on

a piece of paper and make their guess as to how many pieces of cereal there are in the jar. Closest guess wins a prize.



Baby Gym Relay (1 parent can crawl with 1 baby)

Have you ever noticed much moving your little one does.

Most adults would find this exhausting! This relay race will give your guests a workout. Place two baskets at one end of a room and a pile of toys at the other end. Divide the guests into teams. The game starts at the pile of toys. Players take turns picking up a toy, crawling (or walking on their knees) to the basket, drop the toy into the basket and return to their team. Next player takes their turn and so on. Until all of the toys are in the basket. First team to finish wins!

 
Thanks Mich for posting the invite!! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Mommies keen to join us for playdate can bring along swimwear. We can also go to a sand playground (katong park) just infront of my house. If weather is bad, we can take a free shuttle from my house to Kallang Leisurepark, entrance to Peekaboo indoor gym is free of charge!! Only condition is to bring your own socks- both yourself and baby! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



You don't have to bring shower gel and stuff like that, just use my baby's sebamed or California baby. Don't have to bring

yours too! Pls bring 2 changes of clothes if possible, wear loose home-style clothing cos maybe hot, but bring along 1 set for Aircon environment since we may go to Peekaboo if bad weather.



See u mommies tmr[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]) can drop me email if u keen to join us!

Sorry my house is not exactly at its neatest so let's try to have some 'outdoor' activity as well. Lol [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
