oh ya and that as well....cheap one 60+ can get...from queensway...can bargain....if u get those special one like for cross training lar, running lar, blah blah...definitely more than 100 No problem....I recommend u go queensway for sports stuff if you have time....can bargain there and price is definitely cheaper than town areas and retail shops....sure got leftover money to treat us la kopi

oh if plus all those other things, then $200 abit stretched leh...badminton rackets we just bought....actually 9.90 can get one but we got at 20+ per racket...and shuttlecocks leh?!? sports bra from nike 40 to 50+.......dun buy adidas...no padding one i dun understand they call it sports bra for what....

I can tell you, goggles you budget abt 30....swimming cap.....cheap one 9.90 have already...but look at the quality...dun get those easily stretchable kind...cos the elasticity will ki chia very fast....get a tight one...cos chlorine in the water will wear off the rubber over time....at 19.90 you can get a pretty good one...as for swimwear, price varies...i just went to get a new 2 piece one from bodynits costs abt 70 liao....speedo is a good brand....nice design also...pricing abt 60+ there....$200 is more than enough....can still afford to go la kopi after that

Taka dept store duno 4th or 5th floor.....the floor where they sell all swimsuits and sportswear one....they have a lot of selection there... no problem...glad to share ya very heavy instalment hor...ehh kat, update us on your progress hor

Major sports shop should have.....go to those big sports shop...small ones sometimes they dun carry optical goggles....so far, the only brand that has optical goggles is VIEW....I got mine from TAKA....costs abt 20 or 30 add...can't remember.....get a pair that's at least 50 degrees short of your actual myopia....because in water, everything maginifies...if u get exact degree and u go underwater, u will feel giddy...

ya i wear goggles...i dun understand how some ppl can swim with their eyes open without goggles...it stings my eyes.....mine got degrees one....i dun wear contacts....i tried once but after i showered, my contacts turned very dryl....i dun like the feeling.....

ehh must give some encouragement lar kat must have determination ok! I see you up up!

Jia you! Make sure you really do it ar!

shows mah....i only wear t shirt and 3/4 spandex pants nia....u imagine u see show they wear t shirt and mismatched pants, u will want to watch meh?!?! hey ya lor i agree....last time also nvr hear my grandma say mnust take tonic lar, folic acid pills lar blah blah blah also can pop out so many.....nowadays we too dependent on outside sources to give us energy liao....

I'm taking in office.....got yoga class every tuesday.... what suits?!?! space suits ar? Just normal spandex pants and fitting top will do lar...no need special suits one.... ehh i duno leh...skali it's those gel kind....the outside is gel inside also gel...then bo bian...cannot melt, cannot crush...only can swallow

ehh there are many types of yoga leh...i've been taking yoga for a year now....mine is ashtanga yoga...quite siong one....not quiet at all...many ppl have the misconception that yoga = meditation.....not true...meditation is just another form of yoga...dun give up before you even start trying ar.... ehh i think pills still can be crushed into powder form so still not as bad... no liquid....u better also start learning to swallow pills aside from buying shoes and stuff....

err....the back pain is not the same as normal back pain leh....i think not that simple..... ya need to take folic acid pills...but i thought you need to take those regularly even throughout your pregnancy period?!?!

ya start from beginner better...kat, you can start enrolling yourself in yoga classes now.....maybe sign membership and join xinyi next time...ehh xinyi, i help you find kaki leh! ya my friend said that too....it seems v scary to me....as i imagine it, my spine there suddenly a bit ticklish now...

Actually i also getting information from my friend now....it's good to have knowledge ya the contractions....but mostly is back pain...my friend said she played gameboy throughout the 10 hours until her gamboy low batt....she said she felt no pain at all after injecting epidural..... actually it's rather scary...imagine they inject into your spine....i think abt it i feel my hair stand on end ehh u can start taking yoga now.....u are like ling shi bao fo jiao no use leh.....

i duno abt the e one....all i know is most ppl choose either natural or c section.... 10 over hours is the waiting time....the actual bith process i dun think is that long lar...my friend waited for 10 over hours too....the actual pushing process is 15mins....how to push for 10 over hours....no more energy left after that.... i think u attend those pregnancy classes, they will teach you exercises one lar....or do pregnancy yoga...i heard it's good....helps you to relax.....but it's good to constantly keep yourself active now....build up energy so that you have more energy to endure later on.... ehh u planning liao har?? then tell her, we live only once so why challenge nature?? we live only once and we don't get too see the real self when we grow old?!?

I'm not in favour of botox....it's disgusting to look like a 20 year old when you're 40.... and botox makes the face looks forever surprised..... It's better to age gracefully...too much botox makes one look very irritating

For C section, you cannot do massage after birth because scared the wound will split or kena infection....natural birth can.....the massage actually helps to dispel wind and any blood clots from your stomach...and also helps you to regain your shape faster...my friend said the massage is very helpful....can see results in just one or two sessions and u can feel your stomach not as flabby after that.... You also can't get pregnant within the next 2 years after c section for fear of splitting wound when your stomach starts to expand.... and most importantly, c section will have scar.... my friend said epidural really helps to numb the pain....hers is more back pain than downstairs pain....she said back pain cannot tahan.....so inject....she also said as you grow older, back pain comes naturally so epidural side effects is really just a convenient scapegoat to blame when u do get pain later on in life.... As for pain downstairs, doctor will inject aneasthesia to your lower part of the body so you can't really feel pain or anything after that, all you have to do is just to push....my friend the epidural helps her in having an easy delivery....her bb came out in just 15 minutes.... i also have another friend who endured the back pain without injecting epidural......so it's really up to individual pain tolerance level....the best is of course dun inject anything lar...after all, chemicals can't be any good to your body....

wah lau eh....da mn ex leh...how u know effective?!?! dun waste money! I will go for natural birth cos there is simply too much restrictions on C-section after that.... as for epidural, depends....my friend said the back pain really cannot tahan....if u keep fighting the pain without injecting epidural, you will have no energy to push later on.....

apply now if you can lor.....in case last min forgot to apply... ya too much leave...but cannot be brought forward one right? must clear within that year?

I chope my leave in my team's leave schedule liao...no one can snatch from me Ehh dun worry lar....confirm yours will split into small groups one....otherwise how to talk with such big group? how to even take attendance for the tour leader also? Ya alot of ppl do that....in fact i was planning the same next time too....actually 3 months is still ok.....4 months is a bit too long.....my friend now took 2.5mths mat leave then the 0.5 months she slowly take for emergency cases such as baby sick or what.....more flexible....if not, one time use up all the leave days, next time wana take urgent leave, the normal company leave days not enough then got to take unpaid...bo hua...

I have the same thinking as you....I will work until when he is about 2 or 3 years old then hopefully will be able to quite my job to look after my kid...but i duno whether our savings or my hubby's income alone will be able to sustain us..... And also, I dun think i can tahan being at home for too long....sometimes i take one day leave to rest at home nia i already feel like dying cos too bored....i think i might come out to work again after he's old enough....

Actually my thinking is opposite....infant stage i will still go back to work, until when baby is bigger and starts to absorb things, i will quite my job cos it's a more critical stage....infant stage nothing to worry abt....when he starts schooling, that's the crucial part....

i think childcare leave also extended right? actually not bad already....can already start planning to fertilise the egg....

Good morning! Ehh dun tum sim lar....4k already not bad liao.....better than nothing leh...think my friend must be really dui cos she just gave birth.....btw, when will this new policy come into effect?

I very busy this morning ar...colleague on half day leave....but i got check this thread periodically, since no one post then i also dun bother Kat also nvr post today....fifi also MIA...I lonely....
