ANY MALAY MUMS HERE?

lynzi
You kalau hantar kain kat jb, u hantar kat kedai mana? bagus tak? Yg kat TKC tu,ada exact shop name? Can advise how much they charge for both places?
 


daec,
i have onli used my pikkolo twice so far.
its very comfy for me to carry faiq around.
the weight is well supported and distributed.
even faiq did not make any fuss when he's in it.
he looks comfortable too.
for pikkolo, what i like about it is that i can choose between 4 carrying positions.
front face in, front face out, hip carry and backpack carry.
i think so far its the onli baby carrier that has so many positions and in prints.

before dat i did think of getting beco.
the prints super super delicious.
but beco cannot face out unless u get beco obi which is not available in spore and the straps look wide as if its a sarong sling.
just my 2 cents worth.

sher,
in jb my tailor is at the shop house rite after the u-turn to jb city after u have passed the immigrations.
my tailor in jb is also good but jangan hantar near to puasa cos if kelam kabut she will tend to make mistakes.
furthermore it will be slightly mahal n u cannot tawar.
she is good at baju kurung and traditional kebaya.
the charges are around RM70 for baju kurung and RM100 for kebaya/ baju moden.
my whole family send to her...dari my mum, sis, all my aunts and cousins...hehe.
but no baju lelaki tau.

At tkc tu i tak ingat the name of the kedai ah.
i know naik escalator je turn left.
its the kedai rite beside sultanah bridal.
the charges are about the same as the jb one except that its in SGD.
so of cos more ex lah...hehe.
but she is very good cos my kain2 lace yg banyak beads, she can know how to cut and really jahit without spoiling the kain.
 
hihi mummies,
ade sape2 nak jual walker yg dah tak dipakai cheap-cheap? im staying at north area.
need one for mom taking care of baby.
Thanks !
 
Hi mak mak,

Lama I tak masuk forum...makin sch hol, makin bz kat skolah...

sher n lynzi, sori menyampuk...hehehe...
My MIL pun antar kat kedai JB yg u ckp tu. Dia bole buat sulam baju kurung kan. Cantik keje tangan dia.

TKC tingkat tiga ada kedai jahit baju eh? Kalau I, 2006 baru I start antar upah jahit kat kedai. I antar kat kedai chinese lady, tingkat dua kat joo chiat complex. Jahitan dia pun teliti, I suka walau pun terasa poket lobang..maklumlah dulu my mom yg jahit FOC!

I dah beli kain dr Arab St tapi tak tau nak style apa...nak buat kebaya takut baju nanti tak muat lak, manalah tau, "tersangkut" ke...InsyaAllah...
 
lynn
ok thanks. can consider in future. think the pikkolo ada feature to adjust the width bagus too

beco - I meant the 4th gen ones got pocket.the beco (butterfly model) tak kata
 
*Pasal kain baju raya*

*Lynzi*
Finally nampak u in person after selama ni tersembunyi belakang sms
1455284.gif
Muka penat, baru balik keje ke?
 
zu,
kau jangan tempt aku with more bps pleaseeeee.
so far last week yg i told u i am curbing my spending has been quite successful tau.

ima,
yalah i soooo tired.
school hols pun kena go school.
can totally understand wat lin meant.
the worst part is my school will be having auditors coming in july to do external validation.
so the teachers here surely know how tedious it is to gather evidences, do reports and flowcharts.
i am sooooo glad i'm leaving so i won't have to be there when the auditors come.

btw ima,
u kan preggy.
u should not be carrying those heavy cb stuffs tau.
tadi i nak tell u but lupa.
furthermore the nyonya just now looked so eager to talk to u...hehe.
 
*Zu*
Itu gambar aje...mane tahu kena photoshop ke..keke
happy.gif
Coz (true story) i had 1 fren photoshop ALL HER PIX...look total mcm lain orang in-person and the funny thing is dia lawah giler n edit buat ape eh? Too much $$ at hand agak nya...

*Lynzi*
Tadi the bags were to heavy
1455952.gif

*Pasal teachers yg letih*
ish ish... nasib baik i fail the 2nd interview teaching dulu... kalau tak kena toture mcm ni 2 cikgu pulak
1455954.gif
ouch...

*Kimono*
Will it be cheaper to just tailor the baju in spore/JB rather then import from US? Some of these botique cloth u can get at Spotlight i think.
 
NOr, i tinkit come up to the same lar.. dats y tot of ordering.. som much easier tau.
happy.gif


Lynzi, aku tak tempt kau.. tapi its really cute.. i tried to tak nak order tapi kan.. we'll see how. lol!! i ordered the first lounge sets from her tapi blom dapat. Got delayed! Dari March smp end july! BUt if it worth the wait, i dun mind!

zu

the fabrics are nice. Si daphne ni punyer BP selalu ada standard punyer tau (read: mahal!). hehe too bad I punyer anak boy, kalau tak, I'd get one :p
 
Lynzi
Tak tahu mana u ckp kat Jb ni..nanti kalau u go jb, can get nama kedai and kasi I betol2 directions boleh? Hehe..
Sorry babe,pasal Jb, u ckp dgn i kan, mind terus blank.. So must have proper directions pasal nanti I yg kena kasi boss I direction..kalau salah nanti dia taknak drive, aku yg kena!! So to avoid all that, I need a proper guide leading to the place!!

Zu
kau pun order badger kan..check out the thread..BP's confirmed!
Anyway baju kimono tu mcm Ima ckp, kat spotlight ada jual the kain2..
 
*Shimmers*
A new idea: Beli kain kat Spotlight pas tu antar to Lynzi recommended shop kat JB. Kiter can start our own kimono (JB not US) BP cam ni

Pasal BAdger balm, does the migraine balm works? Anyone dah try tak and how long does it take effect? Tot of getting that coz my 3rd pregancy ni i asyik super migrane, jus like my 2nd bby. Hmmm... jgn2 bby girl jugak kot? Kat Gaurdian jual $11++ for 1 tin kecik...ish ish... kedai2 semua cekik duit org sey.
 
shimmers, yup.. i also odered. kau cakap bagus so aku try ler.. haha. esp yg wintr wonder balm tu ke apa. yg aku pakai dulu Gaia Vaporous rub harga trus naik double sey.. mahal sgt. tot try yg nie bab aku baca review dia mcm okie jer.

pasal baju tu, kau tau la aku nie kan sumer nak express. after kira2 aku rasa it comes out abt the sama la. :p

nor, i pun nak tau jgk kalo migraine balm tu bagus.. lol!! aku kalo da kena migraine, tepek minyak angin byk2 pun tak jalan.

Nor
Ya the headache soother quite good la..but afterall it depends on individual..how your body react to natural remedy is a diff thing. Sometimes kalau dah sakit sangat, i telan jer ponstan..
Hmm about the Kimono BPs tu, interesting jugak plan tu..hehhe

Zu
Ya I like their products..try la.nasib baik Shals alert aku pasal BP dia. Aku nmpk Lynzi pun sangkut kat Badger BP..hahaha..
 
lynzi,
the tailoring @JB charges is that super cheap? it the shophouse on the left of the rd or the right after the slated carparks? used to go JB alot last time. now no car so nv anymore. Last time i evr go bandar kota tinggi to get fabric. think abt MYR300 for 2 sets of mine w lace n two setsfor hubby. definately cheaper than arab's st $50-$100/m for lace fabric
 
*styliciously*
Kain from m'sia is cheap? Quality sama tak? Memang tul, last time bought kat Arab street those lacy/beaded type kena $75/metre. This year just planing to make 1 set baju, coz i dun have much relative anymore, plus perut pun dah 7mths buncit
1460565.gif


*Shimmers*
haha kalo setakat bau aje leh baikthen i dun think it will work for me. For me my migraine only ponstan aje is the cure
sad.gif
kalo panadol kena telan 4 biji, but now preggy how can? Nanti bby inside stone pulak.
 
sher, murah lar.. i tld u kan abt kedai yg pat harbourfront tu.. juaal satu tin kecik sampai $14 man!! then dia jual sabun California babywash, small bottle $23!! aku bli dari ima baru $25!! then double the oz!!
sad.gif


nor, kain pat msia cjheap lar.. i kalo gi KL mesti singgah Masjid India bli kain. hehe..
happy.gif
 
*Zu*
Me tgh semak-semak feysen baju raya mak buncit. Looking for good cutting & a suitable kain to go along with it. Kalo KL to dah jauh sgt lah. Tot of going to Angsana coz dulu i went there 'ter'-nampak a shop selling kain. But harga sama cam Sg aje they charging.... About kota tinggi, tat i have to bring my MIL along, dia expert jln2 M'sia. If i go alone wif my hubi aje sure kita 2kena kidnap & lelong on blackmarket...

Anyway asal cream to mahal sgt, pergi kat Gaudian baru $11+ aje. The big tin i saw was $21+. but for that qty...ish ish...sikitnya. Takde jual jumbo size ke? Sapu sana, sapu sini sure 1 hari pun dah habis the 0.5oz tin keke
happy.gif
 
haha..

Nor, funny la u abt the kidnap part. But yes, it can be dat dangerous if u r not careful. shopping must be off the beaten track a bit. Angsana famous with sporeans since zaman dulu dulu. so this type of places not worth the buy cozs they know sporean frequent there so their standard price is spore price.

variety.. think not comparable to SG coz they dont have a street of fabric selling stores but still will find something nice. quality would depend on what type u choose ah.
 
lynzi

ur pikkolo like sch bad sey from the straps. hehe.. forward facing looks good esp for baby to look forward. tried once but not comfortable not being to 'read' her face.
 
lynzi,
cantik pikkolo u, the material looks comfy ah ;)
he looks comfy looking ard

I mostly do hip carry, sometimes face me. She's ok to face me. I love carriers coz always v near in reach for hug and kiss
happy.gif
 
lynzi

wats the max weight pikkolo can carry? For me, I had so many slings/carriers - MIM, Hotsling, Combi, Ergo, even cheaper lucky baby slings, tapi so far yang I masih larat pakai is Hotsling / MIM. Ergo I dah jual, but I rasa panas kalau pakai benda tu. Furthermore, my baby can walk already..so he'd rather walk than be carried. But I admit, I was addicted to babywearing previously
happy.gif
 
re: pikkolo
i also prefer him to face me.
ni pun hubby ask me to let him face out so that he can see the fishes at underwater world.
if i'm not wrong, max weight pik can take is about 20kg.

re: kain from jb
personally, i don't like buying kain from jb especially if its lace/ satin/ chiffon.
those types of kain i mentioned are better here plus got more updated variety.
fyi, my mil's cousin who is kerabat raja pahang every year will come down to arab st just to buy the french lace.
the whole royal fabrics will close while she and her entourage are there.
if u buy kain at shops like euromoda then its nice plus good quality.
BUT apparently those types of kain in msia more ex than here in spore cos msia don't have FTA/ free trade agreement with some european countries so the taxes are higher.

hmm...ni aku dah post panjang2 entah korang faham ke tak...hehe.
 
*Lynzi*
Nak tanya, ur boy ah outgrow his jumperoo lum? Ada niat nak lelong tak?
1464696.gif


*Pasal kain raya*
Me dah set nak turun Arab street in July
happy.gif
Also going to Royal Fabrics. Hopefully not on the same day as raja pahang visiting day pulak...keke
 
*Zu*
Hehe u mcm mind reader lah

My anak 2nd is just over 7mths. Dia just started hopping last week.
1465104.gif
Dulu tak pernah hop, coz i think it's due to her fat ass to heavy agaknya... Anywayz, i want to help encourage it for as long as possible so that her kaki can grow longer. So kontot her legs...ish ish...

*Lynzi*
Tot it would be a good investment coz after my no.2 outgrown, i simpan a few month aje then my no.3
1465105.gif
pulak can use. Mane lah tahu 'ter'ada nya no.4,
1465106.gif
dia pun leh guna jugak... haha. Saw shop selling new at $175. Used at $140 but itu bekas org Cina takut ade kena makanan babi or anjing, sape tau. U kan melayu/muslim so tats why nak 'booking' dulu.
 
mademoiselle
Been trying to sell mine for quite some time..also tersalah beli, too small for my son lah..Yours design apa?
Mine size 27, Green. Bought frm the Anxa BP.Not sure if I can upload the pics here tak??
 
there's motherhood fair @ expo tmrw till sunday.

siape siape going to borong baby stuff? I will prob go after work tmrw coz its along the way back home from work. Saw the ad in newspaper, probably getting Pampers. supply running low, need to stock up cheap Pampers. N milk n baby food if cheap.
 
*styliciously*
U live nearby Expo ke? If i take the train from Woodlands to Tanah merah i think boleh stoing
1467678.gif
agaknya...keke. The advert only in papers? Where can i found out what they selling?
 
ima,
i don't think i will sell it off yet cos faiq still likes it.

about expo,
i'm going there with some other mummies on friday noon.
there will be booths from the following companies:
1) nestle
2) friso
3) pampers
4) huggies
and lots more.
 
ima,
u can ask hetty cos i think her gerl will outgrow her jumperoo soon...hehe.

hetty,
ayuni using pampers?
wah...ex rite?
 
i pass by expo 2 times everyday by bus or cab! during sale period always go but nowadays metro/JL sales not worth it, still must lookout which are the real bargains, which are not.

nor
jumperoo - wont be letting go la. will let my sister use for ayuni's cousin. then after tat will keep for future. if u want to loan from me also can while I wait for my second only in 2009/2010.

lynzi
only pampers i trust. used the Cotton Care Newborn n Size S, Baby dry size S n M. Baby Dry ok la, its abr 20cents each on offer. Last time I stock up alot until outgrow size S. So passing to my sister ah. Baby dry phasing out so I wanna try Active Baby size M n L now Ayuni more active. haha. retail is 50cents each but hopefully at the fair can get 23 or 27cents for M size.

Can spend abit more for Pampers coz nowsday use less Pampers - last time newborn average is 8-10 pampers per day!! as for other brands, dunt wish my baby to be test dummy after had rashed with drypers so just stick to pampers. now temporary on ultra huggies, not bad when tried the sample coz got abit of 'extension' for the straps. but the sample seems to be thicker n sturdier than the ones in the pack
 
*styliciously*
Wah dah planning 2009/2010? Me plan pun still tersangkut hehe. For the diapers u all talking about it's all tape diapers? i might come down on Sunday itself, nak chk mamypoko ade discount or not
happy.gif


*Pasal Jumperoo*
Looks like need to get one new one. @ $175 stil ok-ok... must chk with my toysRus fren, boleh dapat further discount tak...
 
me not using pampers.
time faiq newborn used pampers.
then changed to nepia.
now for nepia pun faiq dah using size L.
then changed to goon.
for goon he's using M cos cutting is bigger.
$14.80 for 44 in a pack.
tu cheap tak?
 
Lynzi*
Oh so u using Goon. I tried that but the cutting tak sut my girl's buntot. that's why i use mamypoko pants M. Nak convert her to Nepia once she big enuff. At 33cents very cheap ape
happy.gif
Mamypoko is 47cent/pc. Kocek lobang sey, esp since she berak 2 times a day.
 
Wah u all can count diapers by per piece eh?
I dont bother last time.. tried all kinds tapi still prefer mamypoko..

Styliciously
I wonder how come you said pampers is good? I tried that during my son's baby days..selalu leaked!

Lynzi
Who are you goin with on friday?
Most prob will be goin on thurs with my SIL..For my son, dah tak tahu apa lagi nak cari at motherhood fair..guess the fair not for him anymore..btw dpt my sms tak? Senyap jer!
 
Styliciously
drypers ok for my girl & her cousin. agaknya pampers serasi for urs ;)

didnt try mamapoko, nepia tho. this 2 seem v popular. anyone tried bumwear (reusable diaper) ? sorta made up my mind i switch to that. few times I tried was ok. even for poo.

2009/2010? me too insyaallah. heheh agaknya kita sama2 lagi . wonder ur sis 'join' tak ? ;)

hi ladies. just back from the motherhood expo. the gist of what i check out

Nestle food - same price as the last Mother & Baby, cereals 2 for $5/7/8.
Friso - $3 off Friso 2 at $27. only 900g tins - ie disc not worth it.
Pampers - selling by cartons at 29% off all Active Baby. abt $0.37 instead of retail $0.50 for M. Easy up pants is out of stock, new stock comes in on Sat only.
Heinz - jar food abt 20 cent cheaper only.
