Ok... So swimmig stuffs, about 100-120 right? Then I budget 100 for shoes.. Maybe I can get cheaper shoes.. Got those at about 69.90 or 79.90 also.. Ok lar... So, overall, 200 bucks should be sufficient.. Thanks gers!!

Shoes 100 bucks, cap, goggles, and swimwear 100 bucks not enough meh? I alr got a racket.. I used to play badminton..

All expnesive things ar? 200 bucks enough anot? Air is saying that the goggles costs about 20-30 bucks, cap should be about the same or slightly cheaper right? Then swimwear leh? I am looking at those 1 pc kind.. Plain and non-sexy kind.. Preferably shorts at the bottoms instead of the regular triangle.. Felt more secure.. Don't need to keep pulling when I move around.. How much agar agar for that? As for shoes, confirm about 100 bucks or less.. I don't need exp ones.. As long can run and jump can le..

Ooh.. Okok.. Taka where? I am going to get this weekend.. Together with swimsuit, swimming cap & sport shoes for my badminton... I think I will get 50 degrees lesser than my contacts.. Coz my contacts is actually slightly reduced from my actual degrees for comfort.. Xiexie ni..

Ya, me too.. Even when bathing, I cannot open my eyes.. With degrees ar? Then, where did you get those? Xiexie ni!!!

Yup!! I will!! Being weak physically also meant more expenses $$$ in time to come.. I wish to be healthy, for myself, for my future baby and for my family.. Determination is what I need.. Btw air, when you swim, do you wear goggles? Normal goggles with contacts or goggles with degrees?

Ok, deal!! So, I will just exercise regularly from Sep onwards.. And take more tonic soups.. More rest and more healthy food.. As long as I am keeping my life healthy, I think it's good enough.. If it can work for my grandparents, it can work for me too!!! Jiayou!!!

Hmm... I wish my office have yoga classes too.. Haiz.. True yoga? Sounds expensive.. Haha.. I am totally not a sporty person.. That's why the nearest I can think of is mahjong..

Issit? I always see in shows, they wear those nice suits to do yoga.. Sigh.. So good.. Ur office got yoga class.. My office don't have leh.. And I dont really wanna go alone for this kind of classes.. Gel type?? Die.. I better take more tonics.. Last time ppl preggie, also never take so much things.. You our grandparents also healthy healthy.. Take more herbal thingy... Sigh.. I think the only sport I engage in is mahjong..

Eeerr... I need to encounter the problem before I know what I can or what I cannot... You also taking yoga meh? But must buy the special suits one issit? Which yoga centre you signed up with? Expensive anot? Can crushed huh? Then not so bad..

Hmm... Now that you mentioned.. Quite true ar...

Wah lao... I don't like yoga.. I don't like activities that are too quiet.. I will fall asleep one.. I will just swim and play badminton.. Going to buy suit and shoes this weekend.. Cham ar.. Me how? Got liquid to replace anot?

Back pain should be bearable right? I mean, I always tot that pain at the lower part is then scary.. Play gamboy? Ok.. I will make sure I take both my brothers' PSPs to play.. surely enough battery to last me.. Yup.. The injection at spine really quite scary.. Btw, still need to take folic acid pills one issit?

Reading up to keep myself mentally prepared.. Will want to try starting of next year if our $$ allow us to.. 10 over hours of waiting time? But you will still experience pain during these 10 hours right? Contractions or something like that right? OMG... Just the thought of it make me shudder... They said they felt like **** for that period of time.. OOhh.. Yoga ar? Attend only when pregnant right? Now, no need to attend also.. But I will start exercising next month onwards.. Swimming and badminton.. I hate jogging.. No sun activities for me..

Oooh.. Thanks for your lengthly explaination.. Another question, is C section same as another delivery method, starting with e one.. Is it the same? 15 mins? That's super fast.. I am reading this thread in CC about mothers birth experiences.. Sounds very scary!!! They were talking about hours.. not 15 minutes.. Like 10 over hours!!! But my mum said, really better don't use epidural.. But my tolerance level for pain is really low leh.. And they said doing exercise helps.. What kind of exercise? Can you advise? I am going to start my exercuse routine from September...

Wat are the restrictions on C section? Back pain during the time you give birth? I thought is that part that is painful? Which part of the bosy is painful when giving birth? But epidural got side effects right? ...........

Hey gers, if you are pregnant, will you go for natural birth? With or without epidural?

Yup.. I think this is really the best solution.. After giving birth, work for a year or more to save up hard 1st.. Then when the savings deplete, venture out to work again.. Apply leave? Haven yet.. We still haven confirm going for the trip or not leh.. Haha.. Very 3 heart 2 feelings.. How big is your tour group?

Sigh.. I also know I sounded auntie.. Haha.. Nevermind lar.. My boy never hiam me can liao... He is an uncle himself..

I never even bother buying a chance.. The chance of striking is too low.. At least I know I don't have the luck.. Or that life.. And talking about windfall, it's no good.. You get something, you will lose something too.. Maybe not in this life, but in another life.. So, I rather work hard for whatever I can...

Who don't need? I think, Air and I will need too... Just that, really got to work hard and save at least 3/4 of my 1 year salaries and bonuses.. Then maybe can struggle through a few years..

Let's all jiayou together!!! Then our kids will have playmates in future.. You know the show, Desperate Housewives? We can be like that... Good friends who high tea together.. Then our kids can play together..

Actually, my plans are, to continue working after the maternity leave.. At least work for another 6 months to 1 year.. Meanwhile, save whatever I can.. At least I won't loogi on the extra leave and benefits mah.. After that, I will quit.. Meanwhile, my mum will help me look after my kid 1st.. I don't really go after the child care subsidies.. More about the leave.. By the time I quit my job, my kid about 1 yr old liao.. Then I can pei them grow together.. When he starts schooling, you can take up part time job to suit his class timings.. Seriously, I don't really wanna work full time in future if we can really afford it..

For myself, I gonna save up for at least half a year to 1 year 1st.. I want to be a stay home mum for my baby.. At least till he/she starts sch at K1... I wanna be part of his/her life during the growing up phrase.. Btw, the child care $600 subsidies is only for working mums right? What is part time work leh? Consider anot?

Okok.. I go read now.. Wait ar.. Hmm... The cash bonus not alot mah.. Only 4000 bucks.. Not even enough for the baby's 1st year leh.. Haiz.. The major changes are just the leave system nia.. And also the decuctions rate for the child care thingy.. nothing much le.. Cannot really moltivate me leh..
