Janice also benefits from it...hehs

aiyah, petition will have no end lorh (I'm glad I'm not a minister...hahaha). I mean, backdate till when? 1 Jan? Then those 31 Dec will make noise...etc. Afterall, it's to <u>encourage</u> more babies going forward...These are just sweeteners lah...

Having a baby, it doesn't end after the 16 weeks ML. It's so much more beyond that. At the end of the day, these benefits do help defray some costs...but the key thing is to earn more $$...hehs.

(hmmm...if they could extend the 1st child CDA account thing to all 1st child who are less than, 2 y. o. or something like that...that would be sooooo nice...I mean, set an age limit instead of when the child is born. afterall, costs are going up. Parents do need more help...)

CSI, your suggestion to base on age of the kid is good. it will be pretty fair.

btw, the news said that the legislation will only be out by Oct thus Company can chose not to honor the enhance pkg but shld they support, they will be covered by Govt too.. i think this time round, the Govt is not working on the issue fast. it has all the grey areas whereby employers and staff may hav arguments with.. i have talk to my HR, i hope they will honor the scheme.. but anyway my EDD is 4 OCt so no matter how i'm consider oct mom..

I also agree that there is no end to petitioning. Just today, someone wrote in the newspapers forum asking for the perks to be backdated till Jan 08. So there's gonna be a never ending tussle. At the end of the day, it all boils down to facing and accepting reality la. Afterall, we are not having babies to get the money and extended ML right?

Congrats to Stacy and Steven! I am sure all the swimming and exercising that Stacy had done during pregnancy has helped her a lot

Congrats to Stacy!

Yup...swimming (esp breast stroke) and exercising does help. So...1 pointer to take note for all...must do exercises...(those suitable for preggers lah).

I dunno. I just ask pple to buy for me then. hahaha.) So horh, next few babies, dun forget to buy horh...hehs...

Jacky's editing skills is getting better, something different from his usual style too. Thumbs up!

janf, your daughter's smile is so enchanting! I will attend her month old, must carry the pretty gal. hee..
wow, 70ml not enough for her feeds? Try latching on more often, it will help.
happy.gif


Lance, enjoy your honeymoon.
See u in our next gathering. (When ah?)

I just had my first appt with HDB. Met the owner of the flat (the SIA pilot). wow.. he is soooo charming, even his back is also soooo charming. *drooling*
anyhow, my home wont be ready in time for me to shift in, so most probably have to tong bang my mum's place for approx 2-3 weeks. jialat, the house will packed with 6 adults and 1 baby. (so crowded)

janf,
the blog is http://preciouslittlebabe.blogspot.com/

I just changed the template (thot I didn't have time to even blog?), so it's not exactly erm, "complete" with the template change. hahaha.

There's another blog on my Multiply / Life Journal (NO WONDER I'm busy...).

70ml? ALREADY? wow...that's very good. Er...not enough for her? Is it because she's drinking every 2 hours? That time, I didn't even have time to pump...coz she fed every 2 hours. Then, by the time my body is rested enough, she's hungry again. How to pump?

Ivied,
wow...that is really crowded....not to mention your barang barang...

haha! i read ivied's comment on pilot's back view reminds me of the HK movie Gambling God where Zhou RunFa's backview oso charming!

yupz csi - bb A is a monster milk drinker! i cant keep up wif her constant feeds so i latch on one session then feed wif FM nxt session and the pattern repeats.. dun hv so much BM to feed her every feed..
