Sweet sweet surprise

I was in full day trainings last Thurs and Fri. Normally I will not have any email access during trainings as I will not bring my laptop along. But on Thursday, I arrived late at office and did not have the chance to keep my laptop at my cubicle first. So I brought my laptop [...]

Simple steps to promote optimum fetal position

Since I found out that bb Jie has not turned downwards, I have been a little paranoid and have been surfing the web for more information on how to correct the situation.
It seems that nowadays there are more incidences of baby turning down later or even not turning (breech). And this is largely attributed to [...]

Preggie privilege….where?

I was at the Kedai Telekom during lunch to change my house address for my telephone subscription. When I wanted to select the button to press for my number, I noticed that there is a button for “Disabled, old or pregnant women.” I was so happy to see that and I asked the guy if [...]

Turn baby turn

I just went for my 32 weeks ante natal checkup last night. Baby is healthy and growing well. His head, just like Bryan last time is slightly above average in size but everything else is normal and average size. At this rate that he is growing, I will probably have an average size baby that [...]

Rechargeable batteries - Is it safe?

Honestly, I feel bad each time I buy a pack of disposable batteries. They are used only once and then thrown away.
Cost is the least of the problem because there are now affordable batteries from Tesco vs the old days of just Duracell or Energizer for the quality batteries.
The main problem is the battery disposal. [...]

Value for money optical glasses

A few years ago, my company introduced the optical claim benefit for the employees. But the amount claimable is quite small and is hardly sufficient to get a stylish, quality pair of prescription glasses.But I found recently that you can get complete Single Vision Eyeglasses from as low as $8.00 at Zenni Opticals. You can [...]

Tips to avoid jealousy over new baby

When I found out that I am expecting a 2nd child, one of the first few things that comes to my mind is, “Is Bryan ready for a younger sister/ brother?”
I have heard scary stories from my friends on how the older sibling react to the arrival of the baby.
#1: My friend’s older sister went [...]

2008 Baby Boom?

Seems like a lot of people I know are having a child this year. I personally know of a few people who are currently preggie and some who are planning to have one. Some are personal friends and some I know through their blogs.
Recently, I was at a friend’s wedding and my table were discussing [...]

New haircut, blur hubb

I just learnt recently that preggie mothers will have thicker hair because the hair shedding is reduced during pregnancy, but will increase after the delivery. That explains why we will have more hair fall after the baby is born.
Anyway, I have naturally thick hair, and I certainly do not appreciate the thicker hair during pregnancy. [...]

Delay, and it’s gone

When we were searching for the home security system, we have a choice of wired or wireless. A lot of people tells us to go for the wired technology as it is older, more stable, bla bla bla. I did some research on the web and it says that the new generation of wireless is [...]
