Des,
Isetan will be having a private sale this Thur. They are selling the Avent sterilizer at $115. Seems to be a good deal as firstfewyears is selling at $169. They also offer a Pigeon bundle which includes a sterilizer, bottle warmer and 4 wideneck bottles at $175. I think Philips Avent sterilizer is better than Pigeon one right?
Oh btw, I just remember that I have a friend working at Philips. She told me that she can get the Avent products at staff discount which is like 15-20% anytime. She also checking for me whether there's any Avent bundle sale this weekend and will let me know tomorrow. I'll let you know again.

Bakaholic,
I just received the flyer yesterday. They always send so late nowadays. Isetan pte sale is one of the favourite sale I like to go to but when they send the flyer so late, I can't take leave in advance.
You check your mailbox, probably tou'll receive today..
Someone told me that her Avent sterilizer can fit in other brands of milk bottles. I can't remember who..
Singapoh,
How i wish i can get 40% off..haha..
Then I'll help all of you who intend to buy Philips products to get your stuff.
Zaza,
Seems like yours is a better deal leh! Same price but with so many free gifts thrown in. Then i don't have to buy the bottles separately.

yes can fit. rapid pigeon sterilizer, doesnt have the bottle neck fitting area, so it can fit in all types of bottle, standard neck or wide bottle neck and pump equipment.
July - we had bought the 1st calling card for her ytd and she had almost utilise the card so we are wondering whether we shld be making the purchase for her or she shld be making the subsequent payments herself .... even though the cost of $10 is not much but we do not want her to have the idea that she is able to call home as n when she wants and we wld be bearing the charges for her ....
Zaza, my maid aso utilise the card within 1wk when she first joined her. I bought her the 2nd one, and told her that it has to last her 3 mths and she can only call back once a mth...however, this mth, we let her call back twice due to some family issues she has...
But nevertheless, since she has used up the value for the 2nd card, she will need to pay for the call for the next 2 mths....

Sunflower,
The isetan credit card can bring 1 guest?
Happy,
I only started sourcing stuff(price, best brand) after my detailed scan. I am still looking around but most probably will buy them by end of the month cos i want to get ready as i am getting too tired to shop.
I bought a classical CD compilation for mothers-to-be.. But only listen to it in the car. I will go crazy if i have it too often. Haha..
As for reading to bb, me too tired.

Wah Zaza, u got such a gd deal?? I thought march's fair's deal was $189 w e bottles & milk warmer? Is yours digital?
Btw, I thought can fit all types of bottles one, except less for wide neck? I bght NUK milk bottles from Robinsons liao. Rmbred a mummy (Bee or Bliss or Juju?) highly recommended that.
Bbhp, I bght those stuff from Kiddy Palace just over e weekend since I was there at their sale. Pampers another 20% off their sale price. I only bght one pkt niah (of 24), is it enough arh, mummies?
Bbhp, NTUC got promo on Kodomo shower gel ($9.85) w a banded refill pack. Think best deal. Again, I got only one pack. Actually, I was telling my dh I also dun understand why I'm even seeking for best deal for such small items.. Haha. Maybe women's instinct (r u ladies like me?) or coz I know I'm losing my job soon.., hahaha.

Despondent, is the Kiddy Palace sale still on? I might be going down tomorrow if it is still on. Based on what i understand from my sis who just gave birth early this year, bbs used the pampers at very fast rate cos they can poo many times a day. If you have nappies then maybe can get lesser. As I'm having twins, I already bought 6 packs during March fair..hehe...stb said i KS. =)
Oh...NTUC having promo on Kodomo shower gel ar?! Which color you bought? I think they have various colors eg. blue, pink etc or that's for laudry detergent? hehe...seen too much till i blur liao. Btw u said u losing your job soon??

Bakaholic,
Yes, you can bring a guest in if you are a member. It's always very crowded at the pte sale.
Happyhippo,
Maybe you can start buying when there's gd deal, especially during bb fair and GSS. Some people prefer to start buying in T2 when the pregnancy is more stable. I'm going to start buying during the GSS. Probably get some big items like car seats/ strollers/ cot/ bottle sterilizer first. I'll buy other small items slowly over the next few months.
Singapoh,
My friend told me that philips staff are only entitled to 15-20% off. Other products got more discount. She'll confirm with me today.

Bbhp, I think e sale is till end of month. Has been going on for weeks & I just went last weekend to jalan thinking if I'm lucky, then it will still be on. but u may want to call them to be on safe side.
Ya, I'm using cloth nappies. I know I'll need more but dun know if I shd get more of NB size (which is e one I bght) or e S size... @_@
re Kodomo - sale on all colours of Shower gel, I got e pink one (anyhow buy one). Not sure if still on though coz it was meant for their bb fair till 12 May... I haven't got shampoo as my mum said bb too small to use shampoo...

Happy Hippo, I only started buying when I know what & why I'm buying. But coz of that, I missed a good deal on e sterilizer in mar as I was confused w so many brands, and then there are wide neck/std neck milk bottles, & I'm not sure if I need a sterilzer at all then etc etc. Haha. V confusing but fun lor.
Bbhp, ya, think I'll tell my boss I'm quitting after my ML ie. If she allows me to utilize my ML..

Ladies,
If using cloth nappies, cannot use the diaper cover? The tmc trainer in the antenatal class says it will be too warm for bb. But without cover, wouldn't it be wet and stained the mattress?
The kiddy palace discount is only applicable for items without the "nett" label on the price tag. So things like cot, stroller, no discount.
Bing,
That day i went to firstfewyears shop in paragon and they have this combi stroller designed for US market. Handle much taller and seems more sturdy than the jap models. Price <$300. I am probably gonna get that.
They have other US models too.

Bakaholic, for pampers, they have further discount.
I also bght mattress cover from there. After discount, about same price as at e fair. Talking abt that, I think these mattress covers are expensive, considering such a small cloth. Kekeke.
Zaza, oh I see. My fren recommended digital coz he said can auto shut off. So other models also can... But thght e digital can also keep them sterilized longer which helps ? Coz after sterilizing can't use immediately cuz too hot? @_@
