Hi Pierced, I paid 290 for the cot... by right if we get mattress without hole, it iwll be 270. But my friend told me with hole is better.... if you need anything, you can sourcce for model outside and go thsi store Cheong Choon Store at Blk 34 Upper Cross street.
It is a HDB beside OG, very ulu, with S11 downstairs.
But hor the things are pretty cheap. at least when i compared the stroller i bought at taka fair and there is $10 difference.
the problem is that for these items, there is no display, thus you can try sourcing the model outside and go down to buy.

daphne - u noe how they insisted want to take care of isaiah n how they say they have enuff money if we give them $500 extra? so every mth hb n i give them $1k.. we hv less than min sum in our bank every mth.. n npow his parents say they v tight, cannot continue to maintain.. how we gg to increase our contribution to them? hiyah.. dun say liao.. say only i blood boil.. ey still got e cheek to say 'actually this is wat they wanted, but dun dare to say' when my hb brought up e idea of staying tog (already discussed n we both noe this is e only way!) WTF lor.. then still ask, 'then di di how? where he gg to put his computer n stuff? DO I CARE? some more my bil bu zheng qi.. failed one of his module.. n dunn whether he can really graduate nxt yr anot!
pieirced, i thot of play pen too, but i was thinking it cant be adjusted up too much, so it means we got to bend more to put BB inside... I ordered the bumper mat from motherhood too.
I dont think i will get play pen at the moment, just got a bouncer for the BB to sit in.
Caityln, you tempted me, but i still dont know gender leh, so hard to choose.

caityln, truly speaking, i have been very snappy at my hubby these days. cos i know it is time i faced up to who is going to take care of BB problem again.
Truly speaking, i am quite determined to go for infant care, but i know a big storm will kick off if i insist on my way....
But when my colleagues ask how old the aunt is, I said 70, but still healthy, all of them shoke their head. they say taking care of BB is different from doing day to day work. cos the aunt work in restaurant in US.
And if I am going to have her in, then need to get a maid, it means 2 mouths to feed, i might as well take NPL to look after BB myself.... sorry i sound very mercenary here.
my hubby has suggested having his aunt at our place on weekday and we send her to his parents place on fri night. but i think i will push further. Will ask if they can be like my neighoubour MIL, only come in day time, then return to her home at night.

winnie - actually i think in ur case, maybe can find a nanny or infant care? nowadays e infant cares are not bad.. go for a good one.. taking care of bb no joke.. n tell u if u want to send er home every nite, lagi no joke.. it's V V tiring.. trust me coz we've been sending my pils home every nite.. acually told them i can take care myself.. but my mil says she wu liao.. actually i thhink it's coz she feels tt i 'bully' her grandson as i always let him cry it out befoer attednin to him n she's told me many times not to do it, but i dun care.. so at nite my FIL n BIL also will come for dinner then expect my hb to drive them home! n at nites bb tend to be more cranky..
caityln, yah, i also think infant care will be more ideal cos they are more regulated, wont dump the baby in front of tv whole day long. and you dont need to worry if the nanny house is good for baby etc.
Ohhh, intially really think i might as well drive and send her home every night leh. it is about 20 min drive away.... actually we must learn that we cannot pick up BB every time the minute they cry right???? cos they will make it a habit....
if put infant care, i must make sure i drive again. cos hor, if you choose between sengkang (home) and depot road (work place), it is more sense to put near office.
Cos it starts at 7am, if i put in SK, i wont be able to go to work on time.... and need to worry about knock off time.... the infant care at my work place has a waiting list, that frustrates me even more to think that till now i no action when you all know i am the gan chiong type, always want to make sure everything is planned out properly beforehand

Caitlyn, I see see again lor. I ever got a polo from there (nearly forgot until I saw it last night). Tot of getting again coz the material is quite good.
Oh no, they really selling off the hse? Maybe your bil psycho them to sell now coz property market good. Usually after they sell, the kids will get some share of it.
Sorry maybe I am too skeptical.
Anyway, my inlaws also maybe gonna sell off and move in with us. I prefer san ren si jie but then… nvm just see open a bit.
Btw, Caitlyn, I went metro last night and buy the leapfrog alphabetic pal…hahahah u really bad influence…kaka

winnie - then how will she come to ur home in e morning? u lagi tired.. at least infant care, u pick n fetch bb on ur owy to work/home! esp when gotta work n bb stil need nite feeds.. now i not working already like zombie, i dread to think of when i start work how.. y dun u just put ur name on e wait list first? no harm.. isaiah is already on e wait list at my hb's office childcare as i think we'll put him there when he turns 1.5 years as my MIL keeps on spoiling him.. imagine i just grab his hands ard his milk bottle so tt he can slowy learn to hold his bottle (now he still young lah, but i dun hold it there for e entire feed, just awhile niah), my mil say tt 'he still young, dun make him tired n ke bo him'?! like tt i noe sure i pref send him to childcare! learn to be more indpt.. my mil is e do everyting for chn type..
caityln,
his aunt all this while has plans to return to singapore. She holds a Singapore passport, just that she works in US. In the past, she took care of my hubby and his sisters. till she quarrel with my MIL then she moves to US to stay with sibling.
So, she has no one else in singapore except us. Intiaily if she comes back to stay, the agreement is that she wills tay with my IL, till the day if they cannot stay under one roof, then my hubby will take her in. The sisters have all agreed to give her pocket money.
But now if she comes back because of baby, that means, i can foresee that it is our sole responsibility liao. In terms of financial everything, we need to care for her forever. It makes me to think, I am only daughter, i want to give my parents the best i can afford. His parents are also dept on him financially, cos his sisters are those type not contributing ones....
so, taking of 5 elders are no joke, esp in singapore std.
And that ends privacy, cos if she stays with you, you cant jolly go out for family dinner or anywhere without her right?
and truly speakin, i really dread letting BB to be taken care by IL side, cos when conflict arises, how do you tell them?
So far, is your MIL receptive to the things you want?

berry - haha.. i have both e alphabet n counting pal! haha.. they either renting or selling.. no, it's we ask them whether they got enuff money then ask them move in with us coz we no $$ to yang both hses.. now tt my MIL not working.. my BIL wld prefer not to move.. coz here he wun have his own room etc.. will look out for e maclaren.. =)
winnie - my mil is those who will say 'aiya, bu yao jng de la'.. then continue her way! haha.. not e confrontational type.. actually like tt she more li hai coz she always like sui bian sui bian.. but actually she never do wat i wants.. as of now, i more hands on.. but once go back to work, i can imagine my boy sure will be carried alot once he eh.. which i really dislike.. now i'm here, he cries, she wants to carry, i say wait.. then she wait a few sec, then will say 'bu yao ke bo ta la.. bb bu yao gei ta ku tai jiu' then pick him up! haha.. usu it's mummies who soft hearted.. i very mean!

caitlyn, think all MIL the same. Mine also like that. Super pamper him. Carry him where ever she like. Even when we eating halfway and he is sitting there fine, she will just pick him up and carry ard. I very pissed coz here I am training him to be independent so that when we are out for meal, he can learn to play alone while we having meal. But my inlaws simply just like to carry him around to “showoff†the baby. Hai… I take it easy liao. Sometimes I just tell them, No, let him sit there. But sometimes they will tell me, no no, he wants to be carried one. How they know? He still dunno how to speak properly leh… anyway, just see open abit. In life, we just have to learn to see OPEN abit. If not, really very upset one.
berry - haha.. same as my MIL.. but my FIL will tell her not to 'ying you' him.. coz we put him on bouncer when we eating.. then she like to call his name.. then he think can get carried.. so he'll cry if no one goes to him! then she'll rush to carry him lor.. siao.. cannot eat properly.. haha.. i think i can see open alot of things.. but not reallty how i want to discipline my boy.. so if next time she always interfere, i already told my hb, dun blame me if i just always hide in e room with isaiah.. haha.. but i realy cannot stand it when she says to isaiah 'aiyo, ni de mummy ke bo ni hor.. zhe me ke lian!
caitlyn, same like mi MIL kind. she will spoil all the grandchidlren. that's why i will not let her take care. very reluctant to even ask her out of courtesy, sigh...mi mum said muz ask mi MIL out of courtesy.rite now juz take NPL first to take care of bb, see how later.
berry - i v bu gan yuan tt my san ren shi jie is ending coz they so selfish u noe!!if isaiah is still taken care of by my dad n mil still working, i think our r/ship n all will be much better.. all coz they scared isaiah closer to my dad.. hiyah.. always like to say others lao gu dong.. they also super feng jian shi xiang wat
caitlyn n berry, all mils same lar... even my own mum also like that. told me not to carry her too often but once she started making noise, my mum will rush to carry liao... so now andrea is choosing who to carry! but i read in a book before that before 5 mths, its ok to carry and should carry to form the bond... cos the r at most insecure stage. once they start crawling or walking, then cannot carry on demand... n my hb loves to carry her cos his logic is that you only have this few years to carry her and once she grow up, she will not want you to carry liao lah... but she is getting heavier to carry...
pierced - but if u ask, then she say yes.. u cannot say no leh..
daphne - i dun mean dun crry at all.. but it's not good to respond too fast.. they lose e ability to self soothe.. like thre were a few days where i had him alone, i din carry him immediately when he eh eh but just comfort him by talking to him, after awhile, he will actually suck his own tongue (tis is self soothing).. and for some days he'll eh, then he hear my voice he okies liao.. will play by himself again.. now he totally lost this ability liao.. n if u always carry on demand, next time when u dun, it's harder for them to accept.. tt's how i feel lah.. tt's y i more firm with isaiah..

daphne - oh ya, n this one gal in my thread, last time she really very hen xin, let bb cty till jia lat jia lat n only just tok to him.. now he's such a happy happy bb.. who's totally okies with his own company.. and coos alot.. only cries when hungry! so i not so scared to let isaiah cry.. last time was a bit! haha
caitlyn, hee...that's why until now i never ask, even though mi mum say must. if not i kana stuck. anyway hubby never say to ask so i juz leave it as that. he oso approve of mi taking NPL so hopefully can solve the prob. if not, sure to have friction over the care of bb.
Mi MIL go out for dinner oso cannot eat in peace coz sure carry one of SIL's kids. buay tahan... eat one mouthful rush over to the kid. already so big no need to take care.
