ANY MALAY MUMS HERE?

lynn,

me pernah beli frm cct... dress dia punya kain layer jarang seh....and the jahitan not so good..others yrs comment
 


nora,
kalau you ada hp dia, tolong smskan. sigh. i betul-betul need part-time maid ni. Dah tak larat nak buat kerja rumah. Abih tu, laki i asyik kerja OT aje sekarang, macam mana nak handle? I seorang ni...

i ada nampak agency etc. Tapi kena bayar agency fees.
 
Wei wei...
Jangan beli CCT nye baju. Kain quality tak bagus. My friend ade beli and regretted.

Btw, I can't meet up klu ade organised party. I'm due in April. And skarang tengah prepare CNY and after that pindah to Woodlands. Tengah busy nak paint rumah baru and cari reliable reno contractor. Maybe pertengahan tahun....sob sob
 
babylee,
cuma tanya sahaja...apa yang you prepare untuk CNY? i selalu hairan pada orang kita kahwin bangsa lain. i tahulah, kadang-kadang, kita sambut aje, pergi rumah mentua ke atau makan bersama keluarga laki. Tapi, prepare apa? decor rumah ke? beli belah ke? pada i, i lebih sibuk time hari raya kemas rumah kasi bersih, pasang langsir, beli kuih-muih dan beli baju baru. tapi pat cny, pada i tak de apa-apa. cuma kemas rumah. Itu biasalah eh! Perempuan ni... macam laki i kata, asyik kemas rumah aje! i tak de sibuk-sibuk nak beli kuih-muih, tak payah lah! rumah i biasa aje..no decor.
 
IC!!!!!!!!!!! So sori. Will call my fren and give u the makcik's no asap.

I tak sempat log in today as i went out to collect passport for my son. Then went to robinsons. Tengah ada sale tau. They selling avent steriliser in a bundled pack. Medela swing pun selling in bundled pack. Worth it kalau beli. Some other things having 20% sale.

Babylee, u still looking for reno contractor? I can recommend u mine. He's from Ideal House. I find that co is quite good. If u were to look in the renotalk website, lots of ppl took from them and very satisfied. Affordable lagi, not like chew or hamid&son.
 
ic, correction. The auntie my frens took to clean their houses is chinese nyonya and she doesn't speak english.

U need regular cleaning ke just 1 time? Cos the auntie only does regular cleaning. Its $60 for 5 hours. If u need 1 time cleaning then its better for u to call amah-on-wheels.
 
IC hi..hi..!!

Usually like what you said lah. Dulu sebelum married, yes we went to his parents house for reunion dinner. Asyik steam boat je....Abeh, berjudi sampai pagi. This time kena prepare lah. Normally first year married couple are excuse. Tak yah give angbao. But since now dah fourth year nie, kena prepare sikit. Family in law I semua nak datang gong xi fa cai kat rumah I. My friends pun mostly are chinese and since I married one, dorang without fail invite themselves kat rumah I.

Ade lah sikit sikit preparation. Kueh2 beli aje. My hubby pakai cipao, I ngan daughter pakai cheongsam on 1st day. Cheongsam I hand me down from my sis. Sebab dia pun married 1 ahbeng, dah 15 years pun. So kena pergi rumah dia jugak lah collection. Nasib baik muat cheongsam ni. I kena pakai sarung kaki hitam aje. Sebab perut dah besar, baju singkat sikit. Hee...hee..
 
Lynzi,

Is it? I tak buat major reno lah. I nak buat kitchen cabinet and the 2 bathrooms aje. I'll give this company a call on Monday to see what he can offer. Sigh....besok dah nak gi groceries shopping. So many things to do with so little time.
 
lynzi,
Terima kasih banyak-banyak!!!! I nak telefon dia. I harap dia boleh datang kat sengkang. I log in pun dengan penuh harapan yang you akan reply i!

Sebelum ni, i telefon NTUC domestic helper, tak de charge agency fee, dia orang kata cuma tolong directkan the amah. Lepas tu, amah akan telefon i dalam 1/2 jam. Tak telefon pun!! Tunggu punya tunggu sampai i dah tertidur semalam pukul 9:30pm. NTUC domestic help pula kata database dia orang cuma ada 1 makcik aje.. itupun makcik itu buat kat jurong saja. Jadi dia matchmake i dgn eurasian makcik tapi tak telefon.

I cari both. I nak regular kemas pasal perut i ni dah makin besar..dah tak larat nak buat kerja rumah. Mana nak masak, nak jaga anak, nak kerja... penat gila. Laki pula hari-hari OT. Weekends pun OT. I tak tahu pasal amah on wheels ni.. kalau Mdm Soh ni tak boleh datang sempat untuk CNY spring cleaning, i pakai amah on wheels. Terima kasih bilang i eh! Untuk regular cleaning, i telefon Mdm soh lah..

babylee,
wah.. laki i ni tak favour pakai cipao ke pakai baju cina. Dia kata macam orang cina dah mati baru pakai. Kita pakai baju biasa aje... pakai jeans saja. Anak i pun baju biasa.

Cuma tahun ini, kita belikan anak kita 1 baju "kungfu". Haha..pasal kat childcare dia selalu ada celebration mana budak-budak kena pakai baju tradisi. Anak i selalu pakai baju kurung sebagai baju tradisi. Jadi kita ingat, tukar-tukar lah untuk dia. At least, orang kata, baju tak wasted lah.. boleh pakai time celebration kat sekolah dia.
 
Babylee,
that time pun i did not do major reno. I only did the kitchen, 2 toilets, for living room i did l-box and feature wall, dining room very small false ceiling. Itupun my common bathroom i did not hack, i only overlaid the tiles. And bcos i wanna save, my feature wall i only used gypsum board and wall paper. All in all my reno at the most was about 15k.

ic
you're welcome. I didn't know ntuc domestic helper mcm tu. Hopefully u find mdm soh a good help.
 
lynzi,
i telefon the amah on wheels. you tahu, dia orang fully booked for spring cleaning! dia orang kata, kalau nak cuma lepas CNY. Sigh..
 
ic, i ade satu contact nie. Tapi tak tau plak kalo dia pi jauh2 smp SK. Par hour is $10. 94602658/63626327 Kesian u! Cari PT cleaner smp tunggu dpn pc. hehe... Tak yah la kemas. I pun malas nak kemas. My ILs dtg rumah i makan reunion dinner. Then they all lar tolong kemas. hehe...
 
ic
yalah cny season ni lots of ppl need spring cleaning. Tapi i pelik. Most of the houses of my chinese frens langsung tak berkemas. The houses looked the same as before cny. At the most pun some of them put the unwanted stuff at 1 corner.

Hopefully zu's contact can help u!
 
Lynzi,
Rumah chinese memang gitu. Dorang berkemas macam tak berkemas. I kalau gi my ILs hse, pening I. Macam semak samun. Tak leh angkat!! Kalau yang moden alhamdulillah lah sikit. My ILs old fashion.

IC,
Actually kan my hubby dulu slalu pakai biasa aje gi rumah parents for CNY. But when dia tengok kita slalu pakai baju kurung for Hari Raya, he macam feel that it's a festive day u see. So now, he wants to make a point, kalau hari raya pakai baju raya.

Btw, I check kan u kat website ade housekeeping services. Ade yang macam mahal. You have a look k.

www.domestic1.com.sg
 
lynzi, its typical of Chinese to hv messy house lar. At least for my hb relatives la. So every yr dorang dtg our plc, they kip saying tat its nice and spacious.

babylee, jgn ckp u pening balik rumah ILs. I pun same! Mcm warehouse! Byk sgt barang! Then ade plak gantung baju dari atas ceiling. hahaha.. Nie baru semak samun beb!
 
Hello

Wah dah lama seh tak masok ni thread...interesting jugak eh u all berbual pasal nak sambut raya cina
happy.gif


Hmmm... the one-off cleaning services gives me an idea... my house tu walaupun kecik, haiz...tak terkemas-kemas..lagi2 ada baby 9 mths ni...toys asik berserak ajer. Maybe i shud use one of those services.

To those yang celebrate CNY, enjoy yrselves!

Reunion after CNY wld be better la..tapi 10-11am weekdays a bit too early..son will be in school at that time..unless I dont send him la. tapi mcm kesiankan just because of my gathering I nak pontengkan dia..
Anyways, ada yg akan dtg with son above 3 yrs old tak? If no, then I dont have to bring him along ..poor child will definately try to attract my attention to the fullest if he's bored..

so far in thread we have how many mummies married to chinese eh?
Zu
IC
Babylee
Lani(btw where is she?sibuk pindah agaknya kan)..
who else?

ic
About this cleaning services kan..I think most company require an agency charge which I think not worth to payla..the amah on wheels pun sama..ever tried to call, but upon hearing the charges, I think lebih baik I spent on myself n son rather than paying for pple cleaning up my hse. Just my opinion tho..But for your case, if Im in your position,I would also engage someone to mend the messy house..who wouldnt bila tgh berbadan 2?!!

Naqia
Welcome back..long time tak nmpk u posting. must be tiredkan esp with a 9mths old baby..Hang on babe, just like my gynae told me after my baby was born,"Ok have your last 3 days of rest in the hospital before you bring your baby back home, dont wish for one for the next 21 years of his life." whc I really feel is true. No more rest...
 
Cakap pasal hubby chinese ni, my hubby is half chinese as my MIL is chinese tapi has been adopted by malay family since birth. However my MIL is very the malay in character...hehe.

Wah, ramai yg nak ber-gongxi fa cai. CNY ni me having my maiden roadtrip to malacca. Will be bringing faiq along. Wonder how he will react to it. Hopefully he's ok.
 
good morning you guys..

nak tanye la, any of ur kids using huggies pull ups? i just noticed that the packaging ade cut out of bonus points. 4 points for the pack of 38 and 2 poinst for pack of 12... anyone knows what we can redeem the bonus points for and how? thanks ya...
 
shimmers, Lani dia busy with moving house dah...

nora, abt huggies tak tau plak.
Tapi yg nepia kan bole xchg NTUC vouchers.
 
To all mummies here yang respond pasal part-time cleaning services, terima kasih banyak-banyak!!!

Update: I angkat tangan telefon-telefon untuk cari orang. Give up! Tak nak buang masa lagi, dengan perut besar i ni, i kemas rumah. Panjat sana-sini untuk bersihkan sarang labah. Bila tengah kemas tu, fikir juga lah, kalau jatuh, hai..tak tahu apa nak cakap. Doa juga lah sebelum kemas. Cakap pasal spring cleaning ni, memang mungkin dah adat kita orang melayu, kalau nak raya, mesti berkemas! Kalau tak berkemas, macam tak sah! I tak de decor-decor atau taruk lampu kelap-kelip. I pun tak beli kuih-muih untuk rumah i pasal i tak de orang datang rumah i. Itu pada i tak berapa penting. Tapi rumah mesti bersih. I rasa kalau kita dah melayu ni, dah memang macam gini lah.

Bila laki i balik rumah malam, i minta tolong bersihkan tingkap. Selalunya, i perlu 1 jam untuk bersihkan tingkap seluruh rumah. Laki i buat 5 min aje! Lepas tu dah tidur. Haix!!! Tak tahu apa yang dia bersihkan. Lebih baik jangan suruh dia.

Lynzi,
I tunggu lepas CNY settle down, then i fikir nak pakai nyonya yang you recommend atau amah on wheels. Price difference btwn them cuma $40. I dah telefon dah. I cuma fikir, macam kalau nyonya tu jatuh ke bila buat kerja rumah etc.. siapa nak bayar dia punya medical etc.. so i akan compare btwn these 2 lah sebelum buat keputusan.

Shimmers,
Memang penat lah. Mana i nak kerja, nak masak, nak pergi supermarket (i tak pergi pasar. :p), masa tu singkat. Tak banyak masa nak bersama dgn anak i. Lebih-lebih lagi, anak i dah masuk N1. I nak kena ajar dia. Dah tu, dgn perut besar i ni lagi. Laki i dah tak boleh harapkan. Hari-hari dia kerja! Off-day dia pun dia balik kerja. Weekends pun kerja! Balik dah malam. I cuma minta tolong mak-bapa i jaga anak i bila i kena travel kerja. Selain daripada itu, i independent lah..semua buat sendiri. Tak boleh harapkan sangat mak-bapa i juga, pasal dia orang pun kerja.
 
Nora,
Dulu I keje kat Kimberly Clark. We manufacture the diapers tapi is meant for export. So the point yg u cakap tu is not for singapore nye redeem lah. Tak salah I. Now too think back kan, I macam nak masuk balik keje kat KC. Sebab I dapat beli staff price giler!
 
like that ah... the story abt the huggies... baru ingat dapat some ganjaran for diapers yg berbondong bondong my son pakai... he doesnt like drinking plain water, so his kencing very hancing u know.. selalu kena tukar diapers frequent bec the bau so menusuk the nose... actually sekarang dia pun da pandai, diapers dia basah aje dia tarik tarik suruh tukar....
 
Nora,
Ur son how old? Like this macam the first sign dia nak potty train eh. It's good. My daughter tak tahu nak feel wet or dry. Dia wee wee je.
 
Nora, hahahah....my daughter is 18 months old. Dia cuma tahu when she needs to go poop. I kena duduk depan dia lah time dia buat this business in the toilet. Dia tak biasa nak poop in her diapers. But wee wee belum graduate. I pun tak bacak kitab potty training. No need to buy lah. All this books macam tak necessary gitu, in my opinion.

Wei wei...berita hangat.

You all ade tengok berita tadi, maid dera bayi 2 bulan. The couple pasang CCTV kat rumah and caught their maid dera anak dorang. Eeeee....i can't stand it. So kesian. How can this happen kan.
 
Hi gerls. Busy sungguh today sampai tak sempat jenguk sini. Alamak, so pitiful the baby. My son pun 2 mths. Cannot imagine him being abuse. If my hubby knows about this surely he wil say, "Kan i have told u that taking maid is no use." kwang kwang kwang...baru padan muka i...hehe
 
u know, i was given the link to you tube, tak sampai hati i nak tengok. start tengok the maid rentap rentap the baby aje i dah exit... kesian sekali
 
Mummies here, i nak tanyalah.
How will i know that i have to change the diaper size? Rite now my son is still using the nepia newborn size. But can see at his thighs dah berbekas diaper. Then again, if i tak put on tightly on him, his pee will leak out from the top as he like to wriggle so much.
Pening sey kepala.
 
yes i saw the news abt the bb kena dera....so pitiful....

i nak share ler...i dah went for scanning last week....alhamdullilah my 3rd junior is a gerl....410gm @ 21wks......
 
hi semua

dah lama tak masuk forum..bn busy.

Aniwae i know hw it feels to be the only one kemas rumah! I gt a part-time cleaner who comes in once a week but she does in the west and now q tight schedule. I pay $10/hr.

As for CNY, my MIL dah belikan my doter cheogsam so we'll get her to wear to my grandparents pl on the 1st day. Usually kita tk gi reunion cos my hb was2 to eat at their pl walaupun it may be halal...anyway kita cuma pegi collect and gv ang pows oni...
 
As for the maid abusing the baby...My heart cries out for the poor baby to be handled so harshly! So sad to think that ppl can hv the heart to hurt such innocent souls..
I can't imagine how the parents must have felt.. The maid deserve a harsh retribution!
 
Thanks for the link. Missed the news semalam, lagi bfeed baby. Takutnya I tengok, ngeri sekali. My 3 kids are also looked after by my maid, tapi alhamdullillah, so far so good. Dah 4 tahun with us. The 1st 2 years pun kita pasang CCTV satu rumah; just in caselah. After we pindah, my hubby dah malas nak pasang CCTV, and also my son dah 6 years old and always tells us what happens at home.
Danryan: congrats!
Lynzi: Lamanya you pakai newborn size diapers. I tot tak sampai satu bulan dah tukar small size. Kalau dah ada bekas, kecil sangatlah tu.
 
misha
Thanks for the wish...

Lynzi
Yelah, might be yr bb dah semangat sikit and need to change diapers size..dah ketat kot...
 
Lynzi,
Kalau dah de red marks tu kan, you kena tukar tau. Tak semua diaper brands have the same cutting.
If you change to a bigger size, maybe you need to pakai kan dia diaper cover. Sebab, it's a bit loose lah but better kan, takde red marks kat peha.

Eeee. ..talking about the abusive maid made me so marah gitu. Kesian that baby. If this happens to me agaknya, I'll loose my temper.
 
hi mummies

wahh...im sooo shock to see the link above regarding the maid...wonder wat goes inside her head as she abuse the baby like that eh? macam so heartless...mulut i sampai tak ter-control "maki hamun" fomfuan tu! wat an aninal to treat an innocent one like that! ish!

lynzi..

my boy pon dat time pakai diapers slalu kena red marks...though longgar at the navel but its tight at the thighs cos peha dia ni macam "kentucky fried chicken"! hehehe...so in the end i upsize n also look for another brand that has a better cutting. it works, n another tip is wen u tape the sticky tape tu u slant it upwards so there's less chances of the tape cutting into the skin...hope this helps!
 
Danryan
glad to hear your preggy is progressing well. All the best gerl to the last lap!

Lah, tak sampai hatilah i nak tengok youtube about that abuse.

Ok gerls, noted. Will change the size of his diapers. Thanks!

Aniwei, anyone here ever order eclairs from amosco tak? Do u know how much they charge? Thinking of ordering for my sis in law engagement ah.
 
babylee,mamaliz
bukan u saja yg will loose your temper..i think i'd be even worst!! Kurang ajarkan tu maid!!Who the hell she thinks she is!!!ARGGGGG!!!!- sorry eh vent anger sikit..hehehhe

Lynzi
what other mummies said is true..kalau dah ada marks on ur baby's peha..kesian..itu melecetla agaknya, time for a new size mamma!!

Danryan
Congrats to you!! Baby gerl is on the way!

Nora
ur boy tu dah readyla babe to be toilet trained..dah pandai rasa pampers dia basah n buka sendiri,its a good sign. Mine, luckily i dont need to train him..we were out for a bday party one day..he saw all the bigger boys gi toilet to pee, he came back doing the same..so
selamaaattt...kalau tidak i'd b so stress to figure out how to train him sey..pheww!

Sharena
lama tak nmpk..sibok ke nak raya??Hehe


Btw, does anyone been in a situation whereby hubby kena posted overseas tak?? I just got news that his company wants him to go Alabama for 3 mths right after this CNY..AND we got to know only yday!! I was so upset that I cried n cried leh!! I know, only 3 mths, but STILL!!! Left alone with just my son, how to cope?? Tell me..
Im so used to him going somewhr far but not as long as this one...ishhh!!
 
Shimmers,
So poor thing. No need to be sad lah. Anyway dia pergi pun just for 3 months. Each of you buy video cam. Tidor taruk laptop kat depan muka. I did that when I kena pergi Pittsburgh for 2 months plus. Then who knows, you can ask him to buy baju untuk your little hero. US got alot of nice kids baju ape....
 
Shimmers, i can understand how u feel. Time i juz got married my hubby was sent off to work at East Timor for nearly 2 years. Hari raya pun tak ada. So sad. Luckily that time we don't have any kids yet.

Btw i just emailed Dr Husaini from Hafiz clinic. He said from march onwards he won't be doing any circumcision. Nampaknya balik from holiday ni i have to sunatkan faiq asap.

Gerls, anyone ordered from amosco before? Need your inputs.
 

babylee, lynzi
thanks for the kata2 perangsang eh..3 mths i know to some not that long la..tapi for me kan..haiii tuhan aje yg tahu..tapi takpelah..my son jadi his pengganti, now I understand why Allah gave me a son..

lynzi
sorry la never tried amosco before..try asking Zu,dulu dia pernah organize BP tak silap I.. so she shld know better than any of us here..I cuma tahu feedback that it is nice la..nak try tapi tak pernah ada chance ler..
