Zu
how was the playdate? I miss the event info pasal dah berapa hari tak log in..biasalah after coming to 4 years baru nak conceive lagi..mcm tak terlarat sey nak buat ape2..especially in the 1st trimester still..

Mademoiselle
Im a currently seeing Dr LC Cheng in Thomson. Actually nak go bck to my prev gynae Dr Lawrence Ang but decided not to after reading one of the threads here la..So how about you,whc gynae and hospital?
Btw, I belom try2 lagi Apom kat Eunos CC tu..
hmm,anyone nak make a date with me to go and try?

The rest of the mummies..any of you by chance is a Cosway Member tak? I nak get something frm therela tapi I dont want to jadi member..
 
Wah Lynzi, first time I nampak orang zaman ini buat pijak tanah. Macam dah tak pernah dengar lagi people doing this custom, maybe except kat kampung.

Your feature wall is nice. Is it paintwork?
 
Lynzi,

Ur bathroom nye pipes not as big as mine. Mine so gedek until it covers half of the small window that's why we cannot do box up. Sigh! Eee...I love your feature wall. Tot of putting it in my bedroom where the bed is. Skarang is the in thing lah. So nice!

Wow! Langsing nye you!

Zu, Shimmers,

Orang dulu dulu percaya kalau kasi anak meka pijak tanah boleh cepat jalan.
 
babylee, i ingat pijak tanah, more down to earth next tym. :p

shimmers, playdate okie la.. cume sharena je dtg. plus my two usual playdate kakis dgn anak dorang, Hot and lazy afternoon. the mommies 'rot' pat dining table, the kids jadi raja dlm rumah. hehe.. Thks to one of the mommy's maid, kite get to relaks.
happy.gif
Nxt tym can join us. dat tym i preggie w sarah, i trus MIA dr forum. Tak larat nk dok depan pc.

Nampaknye cuaca ari nie gg to be bad again!
 
lynzi
the feature wall is wallpaper is it? Lawa..wanted to do that in my master bedroom but my hb sayangkan the newly painted wall. Lagipun it was q costly to get the person to wallpaper for us..

Actually my mil and fil bawak farah gi beach to let her walk in the sand so that dia cepat jln. Itu pun was a few mths before she really started working so nt sure if it's the sand or it was time!

Zu
farah masuk kereta terus tidur! Belum keluar carpark pun!! That was how tired she was. We should do it again.. but only weekends for me lah or friday evening.2 more weeks of school and I'll take leave..thinking of school now rasa dah tak larat.

Just had my massage just now and it felt so much better. Pasal tkleh mandi dulu so apa lagi depan pc lah..my hb bawak farah gi rumah my mil. Kesian dia..we went housewarming just now and she slept throughout the whole thing. When she woke up, it was as if we left the house and went home again...hahaha...

Shermin
First trimester for me felt so long...now dah nk meletup mcm sekejap pulak. Sigh..3 weeks to go!
 
sharena, u are welcome to join us again. Kalo nak join, we will be having the next one this Good Friday at Hazel Park. Dekat jgk la.. Same time.. Dats how free we are. Almost every wk we mit up to 'rot'. hehe...

Jgn cakap dia tired, the others pun same. They sume slept as soon as they masok kreta. haha...

Hihi mummies,
me very busy today. Juz did cukur rambut for faiq at my parents place. Luckily it was done there. I tak larat sey nak kena kemas2 everything.

Zu,
i think my boy looks more like my hubby. Hb's pic time kecik2 is exactly like faiq with so little hair.

About that pijak tanah, i think its reali a very old belief to intro the bb to the world and for bb to cepat jalan. But its done on the exact 44 days of my confinement.

Thanks for your compliments on the feature wall. I actually covered part of the wall with gypsum board, painted over it and put strips of metal on it. Another half of the wall is covered with wallpaper so not very ex lah. If do feature wall using plywood then very ex. Will set u back for at least 1k.

Babylee,
u can try flushing your pipes into the wall by boxing up to the height u can then paint the visible part of the pipe the same colour as your wall. For me i try to bring the attention away from my pipe by using mosaics for the shower area and using another different coloured and textured tile to create dimensions and feel.

As for being slim, i'm actually quite sad cos when i was pregnant i can fit nicely into normal size clothes but now that i've lost my weight all my pants are loose and i need to buy smaller ones. Being thin is not very nice to look at u know. Ada a bit of flesh is nice. Trust me. Been trying to gain weight using so many methods but no results. Anyone has tips??
 
lynzi,
I tak tahu pasal custom pijak tanah ni. Pertama kali dengar and nampak macam mana you buat. Rumah you lawa seh! Berapa harganya you reno?

Mummies,
Update. I dapat pergi taka baby fair at last! Takde apa-apa special. I cuma beli baju. Yang lain tak kerana bukannya murah. Hairannya, i cari barang tollyjoy. Tak de seh..

zu,
you kata ada buckwheat pillow? i cari punya cari, round punya round kat fair tu, tak nampak pun. Sebelah mana dia jual?
 
Heloo everyone

System was down kan yday?? I had hard time logging..
Today bila log in tgk punyala cepat thread ni bergerak!!

Sharena
Ya la, I feel punyala slow nak pass this 1st trimester..but I know nanti dah nak beranak kan rasa mcm miss pulak all those moments..wish you good luck for your delivery soon..

Zu
Rajin jugak u buat playdates eh..tapi asal lah tempat so so far away..Hazel park tu kat mana?
Sayangnya tak leh join lagi nmpknya..ada family gathering kat dwntown east chalet..

Lynzi
Now I know apasal pijak tanah..so far tak pernah dgr pasal adat pijak tanah ni..But when Sharf was younger, dia jln lambat, so what my in laws did, they carikan kelapa sabut kat beach yg dry punya to 'ketok2' at his legs..tapi tak load la, Sharf still walked at 16mths..lambat eh?
Anyways, its better to be slim like you..at least ada allowance sikit..kalau put on look good kalau tak pun dah ok..hehhee
 
shimmers, hazel park tu pat upper bukit timah.
cos i boring la pat rmh, takde org nak entertain adam.
happy.gif


ic, i tak ckp ade buckwheat pillow. tink sharena yg cakap.
i said i pakai buckwheat pillow.
happy.gif
 
IC,

You cari buckwheat pillows for babies? I bought for Darling that time kat KK hospital. Situ got one shop selling it. Then at yahoo auction oso, there's a lady sewing this stuff.

Mummies,
Anyone of you tinggal at Jumbo flat tak? Really lah, I'm lost to see my bathroom so ugly. I know HDB tak leh reposition the toilet bowl. Don't know why the HDB engineer begitu stupid to design in an awkward position.
 
babylee, i tink ada satu mom here tinggal in Jumbo. BUt never see her anymore. Her nick is doremon tak salah. Also at wdlands area.
 
zu,
dah confuse dah..which mummy yang cakap. Tapi takpe lah.. dapat pun reply dari mummy lain.

babylee,
Kedai kat kk hospital? ok..bila i pergi check-up nanti, i try cari kat sana.
 
ic,
my reno was 15k.

babylee, i have a few frens living in jumbo at wdlds. U want me to ask them? That time my toilet bowl pun ada prob. Dahlah cannot reposition, the spacing from wall to hole is the narrow one so my choices of toilet bowls were so limited. Lucky brand that has the small dimension was one of the cheap ones.
 
Hi Zu, i'm still around though am juz a silent reader. Didn't really participate much cos sometime kena crack head when reading Malay texts. haha ...
i see there's many new mommies in this thread. Perhaps its time to come out of the closet liao. When is the next playdate i'll see if i can join. cheers.
 
zu
maybe cn join u guys cos my hbwill be back from nigth shift so will sleep all morning and aftn... let me know time and where we meeting. We cn go together too kalau u nk. Eh, blh gi swimming tk??
 
Hi everyone... I'm new here. Came across this forum page by chance. I googled Dr Zailan's name, nak cari no. tel clinic dia, tapi terjumpa pulak this page. Interesting jugak baca cerita2 u all.

mamaliz

Btw lynzi just sms me saying her acc kena banned w/o knowing why.
 
Hai everyone.. kecohnye u all.. hahaha. Bestnye u all dpt go hols. I terperap kat rumah dah almost a month.Tak abis2 makan jamu tu, jamu ni.. Dah biasa kerja, keluar pagi, balik petang, sekali confinement kena duduk rumah... boleh pengsan sey, risau dibuatnye...
happy.gif


Lynn and Danryan
tahun depan birthday boleh celebrate sama2.. Lynn bawak kek, Danryan bawak presents and I bawak baby... hehehe

mamaliz
thanks for the address. called them just now and they said that they only do the sunat thing on Tuesdays aje. So, nxt week lah boleh buat. What do you think, shld I tindik my baby as well? My MIL says she's still too young...
 
zu...
hujan tu...hujan jugak kat sana. tapi gerimis ajer lahh...still boleh jalan2 kat famosa n water theme park lagi. heheh

Lynn...
mesti u pernah dengar peeps say dat baby baru born pon dah boleh campak dalam air kan?? but then again its up to u as the parent lah wen u nak kasi dia swim...cos the parent kena confident kan...for me i let my babies start wading in the pool at 4mths...cos thats wen i stop bathing them in warm water...from 4mths onwards dah mandi air pipe terus...kalau weather sejuk ajer baru i panaskan air...now my kids loves swimming so much sampai the ayah naik malas nak go along to swim wif us...hahaha

Ct..
not too young lahh...banyak jugak orang yg tindik skali the ears wen they send for sunnat...but i tak tindik my girlnya pasal my hubby cakap besar baru bleh lawa lawa...hehehehe, anyway for me i takut nanti the earings get caught in the clothes while im changing her so i didnt do it for her dat time...all up to individual...
 
mamaliz
u use pipe water for ur bb after 4mth? my bb dah 7mth masih lagi in warm water. klu dia kena air pipe, alamatnya satu blk lah boleh dgr suara dia. Dat why i still 50-50 ni nak antar swimming class. mcm takut gitu. biasa lah i sendiri tak pandai swim so want to make sure my son can swim and tak takut dgn air.

CT
alah kan best dapat duduk rumah, u shd enjoy the moment tau. nanti dah start keje, u akan rasa kehilangan. As for me, tis my first child and when kena pergi keje mcm sedih gitu. i cry kat toilet on my first day. hehehehe but biasa lah first time mum. I'm sure ramai mummy kat sini will have same feeling like me...

SO U MUST ENJOY TAU..
 
hihi mummies.

i'm back in the loop after being suspended. Took lynn'z advice and created another account. Thanks lynn.

CT, welcome welcome!!

mamaliz,
looks like u n kids enjoy yourselves. Did u manage to go karaoke at the jetty??

lynn,
yah i know exactly how u feel when u start work again after maternity leave. Today is officially my 2nd day of coming back to work. Two more months and i'm a happy mum as i will be resigning...hahaha
 
mamaliz, i also din tindik for doter. eventho my mum kip asking.. i takut je tersangkut pat baju dia. ye ler.. i nie ade sikit kasar. hehe.. my MIL tgk i pakaikan baju anak i pun dia seram. :p

lynn, i started boy on swi class wen he was 9mths. kalo takot air sejuk cn try marsden swim sch. pool dia heated.
happy.gif
like u i pon tak tau swim so dats y ler antar pi swim sch. anyway, before i antar, i ade kasi dia main dlm inflatable pool kecik pat rmh dulu. kasi dia biasa dgn air.
 
Hello everyone..
Lynn i will heed your advice and enjoy myself. Kalau dah lepas hari, the first thing I nak buat is go shopping!!! hehehe . U all tahu tak my daughter came out a week earlier and kita blm sempat beli baju2 untuk dia. Ada lah 2, 3 helai aje... Mana cukup kan. Nasib baik my MIL gi belikan and my sis in law gave some of her daughter's baju yang dia masih simpan... So,i tell myself I must go shopping for her stuff and mine too of cos!!!
happy.gif
Northpoint, Causewaypoint, whatever other points there are in S'pore, get ready for CT... hehehe
 
Lynn...
yup! my doter n son both same...i start at 4mths, starting kena tambah air pipe lebih..day by day put lesser hot water den one day i jus use pipe water straight...lap lap muka dia dulu den head..after dat main mainkan tangan or kaki dia in the water..they might cry wen u put them in but slowly they get used to it...now my kids pantang nampak pool!
Lynzi..
tak ahh..i tak go to the karaoke place...basically our days were filled up with lots of activities n plans..macam tak cukup gitu...itu pun we extended 1 more day..hehehe
Zu..
hehe samalah kita ni..i pon kasar ngan my kids, dulu masa they still small, ada ajerr makcik2 nak comment but i pekak kan telinga cos i sendiri pon tau lah not to hurt my own kids kan...hehehe, dats y i tak opt for tindik..
Ct...
i salute u kalau betul u wait till lepas hari...pasal i tak wait pon..1mth++ i dah out at amk central, alasan nak beli itu ini for my baby, my hub pon hepi pasal dia tak confident buy the correct things...hahaha, tapi tu pon i jaga jaga tak langgar bendul..seram pasal masa my first born i terlanggar n my body was freezing wen i got home!
 
hi lynzi
u r back..and bestnya u dah nak resign? so going to be SAHM ke? alah i pun nak jugak seh.. but when tink back, takut boring pulak. anak baru 1. my plan klu dah masuk 2 den only i nak jadi SAHM. SO kena tunggu at least lagi 2-3 yrs lah Insya-Allah
biggrin.gif


CT,
tis is the time lah kita boleh gi shopping w/o our husband membebel. coz diaorg pun excited when come to buy all tis baby stuff. Btw kenapa u tunggu sampai dah nak meletup baru plan nak beli? kan dah tak sempat..hehehehe. As for me, baru masuk 8wks, i dah start beli bit by bit. mcm tak sabar gitu kan...

mamaliz
i will try to do as advise. Thks

Zu
ada jugak yg sekaki dgn i tak tahu swim. klu dulu gi pool, bukannya swim tapi berendam je...hehehe.. btw marsden swim sch tu kat mana?
 
lynn, zu,
i pun tak pandai swim. Yea...HIGH FIVE! I can float ah but swim tak sampai half lap dah mengah.

CT,
good for u. For me i waited after 44 days then i went out wif baby. Lots of org tua2 said its not veri good to bring baby out before lepas hari pun as immune still weak and may catch infection or disease from other people.

lynn,
yah i am resigning very soon. Juz counting down the days. Hepi giler punya. My hubby actuali asked me to be SAHM. He said he can tanggung but i'm so used to working and spending my money for myself. So after resigning i'm taking a part time job, should be half day as i want to spend more time with faiq. Time tu baru i will have time to go thru the GD flashcards with him. Now for maths i'm still stuck at numbers 1-20. Have not progress to addition pun.

Me planning to enrol faiq for swimming when he's 6 months. Tengoklah his daddy want aquaducks or marsden.
 
Thank to all...hope i have a nice and pleasant trip....genap this Good Friday i 28weeks preg....hopefully my 2 sons tak buat karenah kat dlm keta....i have to seat at the 2nd row with my 2 sons left n right....tercepit jugak i dgn perut nie......as usual no change to seat the front seat anymore....kalau tak both nak menyelit kat riba i.....
 
Lynn
Last time when i started work after maternity, lepas kerja je i terus balik. Can't wait to play with baby. But now, I tend to leave her at my mil pl til evening. Kalau i balik habis kerja cepat i wud go hm and rest first brfore fetching her home...sigh...sometimes i feel i'm not a good enough mother...

Pasal swimming, i intro my doter to the pool at 3 mths. Eversince that my doter is hooked on swimming or playing with water. At that time I even selamkan dia dlm air and she didn't cry! It actually reminds them of being in our womb so it's not a new experience for them..supposedly. I still bathed her with warm water though.

I am not gonna tindik telinga for my girl cos she's very rough herself and when they start school, i think it's not advisable kan? Anw, i think i'll tindik for ear when she starts pri sch.
 
myself sampai sekarang pun tak tindik.. time wedding wore those clips ons.. punye la sakit telinga i tak terkata.. lepas tu ade scars lagi from the clips.

babylee
macam suntuk sangat nak buat reno and considering u anytime now nak meletup..

stress tau renovate rumah. what if they cant finish on time.. u got like 2 weeks before u kena move out.. macam not achieveable gitu.
 
Sharena
it not abt being good or bad mother, it just dat u r very tired. i believe everymother want the best for their child. Me pun gitu jugak. after more den 5mth back to work, sometime mcm penat gitu nak main2 dgn baby after work.

lynzi,
u dah brought GD flashcards? if yes, can share with me where and how much u spend? coz i tink it quite ex eh. And klu boleh plz share tips lah how u teach ur son. Well u kan teacher.
talker.gif
i tried to use flashcard / book / VCD tapi mcm kurang berkesan gitu. I tink problem with my teaching method.
 
lynn
i actually did my own flashcard..I saw them online but can't remember where i gt from. Basically it's A4 cards and red dot stickers. I did for 1-20 cards but i didn't use it much... They are still in my cupboard hahaha

In fact kan, I read in an article that if we overstimulate the baby, it will actually slow down their development. It was featured in Time magazine. If we stretch them too much, they may lose focus and interest too. So it's better to expose to them at their level of ability.
 
lynn,
i did not buy them. Mummies in my dec forum got the link so i printed and made my own flashcards. I just bought My Baby Can Read vcds but have not had time to let faiq watch.

What sharena said is true. Babies cannot be overstimulated. That's why i only do 10 minutes of it. Paling lama pun 15 minutes. Itupun i did not manage to do every day...haha.

Now that i have started working, if i finish earlier i will go home first to wash clothes, vacuum, take a nap then have a long shower before my hubby fetch me to go my mil's place n get faiq. In a week cuma ada 2 days je i get off work early so must really do all the house work that needs to be done.
 


Lynzi,
U dah tender? Wah ini plan dah lama ke or u got so comfortable at home that u decided to be SAHM. Like this, got alot of chance tengok Korean Show lah. But at least u got part time job. As for me during those days, when all the freedom and money got cut off, macam buntu I!

Mamaliz,
Berendam pun jadi apa! I dah lama tak berendam kat swimming pool. Dengar Zu and Sharena nak gi swimming, jealous I!

Sharena,
You lagi active! Wow! A few weeks to go tau. I skarang dah tak larat. Malam kena cramp lain kena braxton hicks lain. Dokong Darling pun dah termengah mengah. My hubby takut that I meletup je anytime that before he went for reservist last monday, he help to pack my bag for hospital.

Nora,
Initially we tot we got to move out during first week of April. Ytd my mom went for her first appointment at HDB, they informed her that the completion date is 13/5. Selamat I! I told my mom not to rush anymore. My mom pulak kanchiong nye orang. Before I new anything, she already signed a 15K nye reno with one apek. Just do Kitchen flooring and 2 toilets. I baru dapat quotation from Classic Ideas charging me abt 19K for kitchen cabinets and 2 toilets incl hacking of floor and wall tiles lah. Better offer kan! My mom lagi nak ambik apek lain to do cabinet pulak. Sigh....I dah tak kuasa lah.
