PreLoved Stroller to Let Go .. price neg!! [March 30 2009] i guess its time ... letting go of the Teal Quinny Zapp to someone who will utilise it rather than collecting dust @ home ... Isaac, being the pro-active, doesnt even like to sit in it. He rather sit in his backpack while Iann is safely tucked in the carrier. We only used the 3 wheeler frame during their first 3 months with the Maxi Cosi car seat and then its back to the store-room. The Zapp seat is totally not used at all ... THe SPecifcations Pros Great steering Handles different terrain well for a lightweight stroller Compact fold Lightweight Comfortable seat Good hood Good brakes Cons No storage whatsoever Wider wheelbase than other lightweight strollers on the market Up to 2kg heavier than other lightweight strollers on the market Can tip backwards with a small amount of weight hung over the handles Conclusion The Zapp is a very enjoyable stroller to use. It steers and handles exceptionally well, has a good hood and a large comfortable seat. The Zapp is by no means the lightest stroller on the market however its compact fold make it versatile and well suited for travel. It more than makes up for its wider wheelbase with it handling and comfort. Letting it go @ S$300. Please note that the actual colour is teal/green. Above is only the sample photos. Stroller comes with the bag. And i will throw in the maxi cosi infant car seat (green with aeroplane print) for an additional S$50 for those interested.Photo of car seat will be upload later.

*Here Goes* [September 26 2008] If i am given an option as to which of the 2 events i would rather celebrate? ... The upcoming Lebaran or the birth of my lil kiddo ... i simply cant answer ... Both are a joyous occassion and both happen to fall on the same day ... Yup, u heard me rite ... my EDD is on 01/10 which is also the first day of Syawal ...  which means that i am heavily preggie, and i actually am ... from now till then, its anytime 'pop' the lil one ... and if by then, i am still preggie, i will be admitted on 02/10 to be induced ... which means, no celebrating of Lebaran this year for me ... Up till today, i am still working in the office, clearing backlogs ... and hey, it mite be or mite not be my last day of work today ... I tot of starting my maternity leave next week but knowing a workaholic i am, i mite pop by the office on Monday.. Somehow i dun feel rite not handing over the task to my executive properly ... cant blame her cos she hurt herself yesterday and on medical leave till today ... went for my last medical check-up yesterday ... and nope, the gender is still unknown up till today ... a massive headache preparing for the stuff though ... and yes, i am still opting for normal birth despite knowing the danger i put myself in after gone thru c-sect less than 2 years... and insya'allah everything will go alrite, pray for my safe delivery yeah ... 4 month of maternity leave awaits me ... :) On a lighter note, my cuzzie have given birth to a baby girl last monday .... despite the high risk pregnancy she facing, kylena asyura is safely delivered, underweight but the most important, healthy ... though the mum have already been discharged, the baby is still being monitored until the weight gain reaches 2 kg ... but she is due home in the safe hands on the first day of lebaran ...

In Dilemma [September 11 2008] The Issue of resigning from my present job after my maternity have been bugging me for some time. I am not sure whether i am mentally & emotionally prepared for the change and to start back from square one. But mind you, going to work in Science Park while living in Pasir Ris is no joke, esp when hub is unable to send you to work @ times ... the distance travelled is taxing on me, esp now being 37th weeks preggie ... My main intention is to find a job somewhere nearer to the East ... somewhere near home, somewhere i can go back early unlike now ... I tot that i start looking around nearer to my maternity ends but leaving my comfort zone is like something i dread ... i been here like 3 years since my last job ... And the amenities here is accesible to me ... and the benefits here is good & flexbile ... And since i planning to send isaac to childcare once my maternity over, there is a childcare somewhere nearby my office ... but then, there is another baby to consider ... Starting somewhere new, only means getting to know the unfamiliarity ... the new environment ... and many more ... Haiz i am seriously in a tight spot ... to go or to stay ... something that i been thinking but its always dead end Comment

One After Another ... [August 21 2008] [ mood | distressed ] I am already in my 34 weeks of pregnancy ... & yet, i have not prepared anything for the newborn ...  I wanted to but time isnt on my side ...  I am plagued by one matter after another ...  And with my present condition, its quite exhausting, simply tiring ... First, its was my parents ... something happened to my dad that makes me all worried & jittery ...  Lack of sleep & concentration @ work, keep thinking bout them ... wishing they were here instead of there ... Felt so helpless & troubled .... called mum every now and then to keep updated ... finally after a week, things are settled ... u never know how relieved i was ...  Then when my parents came over, isaac was down with HFMD .. another week of lost sleep & taking care of him ...  Took leave just to make sure that he is ok ...  Then last monday, hub was down with fever ... and it doesnt subsided till tuesday .... I wanted to go to the doc as i myself was having spinal pain ... but brought hub instead ...  Hub was sent to A&E, after which he was warded & schedule for surgery on the same day ... I took medical leave on Wed, as i was too tired from the lack of sleep, worrying ... At the same time, the demise of my grandaunt doesnt help to brighthen my days ... it makes me sadder knowing that i cant be there ... Lucky everything went well & now Hub is on long hospitalisation leave till next tuesday but he have yet to go dressing everyday ...  I dunno what else is coming my way ... hopefully its not something that going to tire me further ... cos i am not sure how much more i can t ake things ... and nearer to the date, the more i am scared ... the ghost of the past seems to haunt me every now and then ... and i cant help feeling lonely at times ...

* Like FinAlly* [August 12 2008] I am sorry for the lack of no-news from yours truly ... i am finally back to office today, after being more than a week on leave ...  nope, nope, not on any holiday ... for the past few days, i have been a SAHM... It started out with a phone-call on our way back from work, last 2 wednesday from MIL,  informing us that Isaac was down with fever ....  Its been a long time since Isaac was sick & hearing he was weak, suprised me alot ... I brought him to the family doc & true enuff, his fever was high @ 39.1 degrees ...  After taking his first dose of BIFEN on the same nite, his temperature went down slightly & was back to his active self ... As the clock strike midnite, he woken up for his daily dosage of Bfeeding & i felt his body was burning hot ...  took his temp & was shocked that the fever went up to 40.2 degrees .. rushed him to Childrens' Emergency @ KKH .. After the urine test & check, doc only managed to diagnosed him with Viral Infection ... we are home sweet home @ 4am Thursday morning ... Both me & hub took the day off, cos of the lack of sleep ...  Later in the nite, his body started to have spots ...something we kinda expected as he had his rash allergy when the last time he took BIFEN ... but this time round, his itch gotten worse & he was simply restless & unable to sleep till almost 4am. We both got no choice but to take another day off & brought him to our family doctor once again ... It caught me off guard when the doctor diagnosed that it was HFMD & not viral infection ...  It was pitiful to see him in spots & it itch badly .. the red spots were alot + the poxy bubbles here and there ...  Lucky for me, Isaac still have his appetite, still bfeeding & simply likes to drink water ... Lucky for us, Isaac fever subsided after the weekend & he was back to his active self when the fever wasnt that high ...  i decide to take a whole week off to attend to him & his whims ...  And alhamdulilah, the rash have dried up & his skin have start peeling off slowly ... I dread going back to work today after being a SAHM for a week ... But lucky me, my collicks understand what i am going thru ... Though i am drained out looking after him despite being 8 months preggie, seeing his smile & active self makes it all worth while ... Comment

* Random Tots* [July 22 2008] [ mood | calm ] It has been more than a month that i last penned down my tots .. . Been wanting to ... but simply time isnt on my side ...  How i have been feeling? ...  Emotionally, physically & mentally drained out ...  Been going thru a roller coaster ride ... But u cant blame me, i am already 27 weeks preggie ...  yes, u heard it rite ... i am preggie again ... and insya'allah my edd is on 01/10 Initially when i got the news, i was shocked too ... wasnt thrilled at the idea ...  Wat can i say for someone who had gone thru Post Natal Depression badly & losing the 25kg in one month after the first pregnancy? you can imagine the agony of it all ...  When i found out, i was already past my first trimester ... i din suspect anything cos i am still bfeeding the baby ...  It was hard for me to take it and i din tell anyone of it, not a single soul until i was bout in my 5months ... Slowly i open up & had to tell them ... cos the bump also start showing I had to, cos i cant be declining invites & gathering without reasonings ....  My family, collicks & close frenz have been real supportive .. thanks to all...  My family & close frenz have been helping me to take care of isaac when we go out or weekend getaway .. My collick been supportive knowing the trauma that i faced ...  And with their support, i see things in a different light ... I am grateful for all the support that i have ... I am thankful for all the help that i gotten ... I guess that explain why i been laying low for some time .. I cant hide anymore ... And i am sorry if i keep things from some of u ...  Its not that i dun want to share the happy news ... its just i am wondering how to ...  Cos the PND still haunts me @ times & i am just afraid, really afraid ... Till now, my hormones are haywired .... Comment

Bon Voyage [June 13 2008] [ mood | calm ] We have known each other for almost 16 years ... From a stranger to secondary school mates ... From a fren to a foe and back to being close frenz ...  And i am glad despite that everything that happened, i can still call u a fren ... i know u hated me along the way ... BOYS, MEN & BGR issues always been the main cause of it ... We both have the same taste in men, But yet, we end up with our halves, that neva crossed our path... We lost touch for years ... mainly cause u found me to be your biggest threat in life ... But yet the news of my pregnancy changes everything ... The message dropped in my friendster account, open up a new beginning for us I cant tell u how much it means to me, to have u back into my life ...  We both picked up where we left, move on & keep touch I am proud to say after all that, we became closer ... And i realised that i really missed the bond that we used to share And i am so glad that it can be revived once again ... The daily emails & every now & then sms from you are my constant companion ... I look forward to those everyday  ... something to make me feel that i am not alone ...  And tdy, i bade you Bon Voyage, wishing u safe & sound in the Holy Land.  I definitely miss the daily correspondence even it is just for 2 weeks .... Do take care my dear galpal, Mar ...  I am so proud of u, finally visiting the Holy Land with the husband by you... Sorry for not able to send you off but i surely see u with your godson once u back ... Meanwhile u be missed Comment
