(2010/07) July 2010 MTB

Saw in today's Straits Times (Thurs), NTUC is also having BB sale.



Looks like the small small item like detergent & baby wipes are cheaper than those fairs/retail shops.



Shann Yheng>> The BP link is in the main SMH forum, just scroll down to Marketplace & Exchange Corner: Bulk Purchase

there u can find various BP for BB's clothes.

 


hi ladies, today went down to taka fair.. wow very crowded!



Bought some rompers (not too bad, they have prices that are 2 for $9.90 or 3 for $12 type). Also bought the $300+ cot there.



Went to look at the breast pumps and i'm kind of leaning towards the Medela bundle. Salesgirl there promised I wont find it cheaper at other fairs.... donno leh! Its $389 for the swing + lots of goodies thrown in.



How about you ladies? Share share the loot!

 
ecym, pls help to update:



Gender: Boy

Child: #1



by the way, Dr Ben Tham is leaving KKH, last day somewhere in May and he's going over to TMC. Will you be going over with him? For me I'll be staying on at KKH, have opted to change my Dr to Dr LC Lee in May.

 
hey ladies.. i have this lobang to bring in some bb clothes to do some BP... hopefully i will have good response... hope u ladies can support me too...

 
mrslong: Wah.. NTUC also must join the fun ah. Hehe!! But is it too early to buy baby wipes and detergent now?



Noknok: I went down to First Few Years at Paragon yesterday. The sale so lousy lei. Even clothing after 50% discount also cost $30 plus. So in the end, never buy anything. So I bought dessert from downstair to console myself. Haha!!



Serene: Oh.. when u set up the BP, must let us know ok? Then we go there and "peng chan". Hehe!!



Jaclyn: For Medale pump bundle, I think $300 plus is a good steal. Can consider. But for me I am more towards Ameda pump. So waiting to see if baby fair at expo has the Ameda counter or not. I really hope so.



Oh.. for me, I have uploaded the photos of clothings which I bought from Taka BB fair. Not alot. Just a few pcs cause still waiting for BB fair at expo. Feel free to look at my loots. ^_^

Ann>> NTUC sometimes do hv baby pdts on sale, especially diapers and stuff. So next time can check out NTUC for BB "daily' necessities when they hv sale too.

 
have u ladies bought all your perishables like disposable wipes, creams etc already??



im wondering if its still too early to buy those haha..

 
Ann: ooh so cute all the baby rompers and clothes you bought! baby shopping is so fun.... but it'll burn a hole in the pocket hehe

 
serene, i will be interested too...let me know when u set up BP for BB clothes, k? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Ann: ooh so cute all the baby rompers and clothes you bought! baby shopping is so fun.... but it'll burn a hole in the pocket hehe

 
dq,

yes yes, must go for the trip before baby comes and maid comes. So it will be a trip for me, hubb and my girl. are u going somewhere too?



This thread is going too fast for me..hahahah

 
mrslong: Thks.. will take note of NTUC sale next time. hehe!!



Jaclyn: Ya lo.. I also dun dare to buy the wipes,cream, etc so soon. I think I will only buy in early June ba.



Buying BB things sure burn a big hole in our pocket. Haha!! Just like wedding. I told hubby how many things we have not buy yet and he says" How am I going to earn more money". Hahaha!!



Sun_tan: Quite cheap to me la.. 3 pcs for $9.90.



Oh.. i saw one set that has a bib, romper and sleeper suit. The set cost $20. But I dunno to buy or not. Quite cheap but then I think I bought alot of romper le. I actually just wan the sleeper suit.

 
tdy posts consider quite slow...:p



Am hvg my detailed scan tmrw, kinda excited but also worried. Can't wait to see my BB again on scan(after more than 1mth) & hope BB's healthy & well.

 
mrslong, everybody is shopping! just came back from the isetan sale. so crowded, so impossible to see anything.



regarding baby wipes, i have a contact with an indonesian factory that makes baby wipes for a UK brand, dunno if you're familiar with Cussons? i can get good price, so when it's closer (june), will organise a BP if everyone's interested.

 
i wish i can buy the whole babynanacloset!! love their bb clothes!



It's gonna take so much time to order the items i want, i heard can go to her place and buy on spot u know.. need to make appointment.

 
mrslong: ya, posts are coming in slow coz everyone is at the baby fair! hahaha..i'm only going tmrw nite



dun worry, i'm sure baby's doing fine



babycoco: yeah, i think i've heard of cussons - i remember seeing their talcum powder. correct ka?



just wanna say that my boss has approved my leave, so i'm going to tokyo early april! yay! 1st time seeing sakura [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Hi mummies!



Sigh, I'be been so busy with work, by the time I get home, just wanna sleep! I just read through the posts without contributing (SOrry!) Usually I read before I go to bed.



But all the updates on the sales have been so informative! Thank you! Tmr my prenatal class will start at KK and then I'll be gg Taka fair tmr to look see look see too!



ENjoy the weekend!

 
ica, you're right, but for some reason, i can't seem to find the cussons baby wipes in singapore. i know that this factory supplies cussons baby wipes to a few countries. and i heard their quality control is very strict so i think quality should be very good.

oh so nice that you're going to tokyo. my hb & i love tokyo. we were saying that we have to bring bb to tokyo disney as soon as she can walk, hahaha.

 
babycoco: think UK stuff are know for their quality. like M&S even though their designs are not fantastic, but good quality and they last. yeah, starting a spree in June will be just right. now seems like a bit too early. dunno leh, i feel like i'm overwhelmed! buy this, buy that, which brand to get...



these past days have been working quite late, so now feel a bit xian. and keep burping. i think the breakfast that i ate was not that fresh - somehow now that i'm pregnant, i can't seem to stomach overnight food. the next day after consumption sure i'll feel one kind, like whole body "boh song" (hokkien)



ya! this is my 1st trip to japan. but i think hubby is more excited..haha

 
ica>> tks. wah can go japan, enjoy. HB & me wanted to go Angsana Bintan this mth, but decided to save the $$ to buy BB's stuff..but in the end, we also ended up buying things for ourselves, haha.



My HB's traveling to Munich for a biz trip end Mar for a week, so tempted to join him there but then he won't hv time for me...so end up I may be walking around myself, so decided not to join in liao....cuz being in a foreign country myself & preggie somemore...dun think it's safe [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

ica>> ya, that's why i wanna go on a holiday b4 BB pops cuz it's a "ritual" for me to travel at least once a yr...but looks like this yr shld be an exception, cuz HB's schedule also abit tight during my 2nd trimester now, so no choice.



So hopefully after BB's born, I can resume my traveling soon.

 
ica : Wow so nice can go japan see sakura!



Mrslong : After bb come out and if we're BF.. how soon can we travel huh? I told hubby i want go maldives or athens.

But tonight i gg Koh samui with family! coz arranged too last min.. hubby cannot join us. hopefully still can arrange another mini babymoon soon...

 
AtomicKitten>> I'm not too sure also after giving birth, how long after that then it's good for us to travel.

Very small & quaint airport...I kinda like it tho & u shld check out the toilet upon arrival (before you get your passport stamped). Nice toilet! hehee.

 
ceres>> for me I bought the pump cuz I told my HB, if dun hv pump & BB cannot latch, then how? At least hv pump can try to pump the BM out, otherwise, how to know / try whether hv milk or not.
