first hair cut by professional

everyone has been complaining how 'messy' and 'long' baby's hair is recently (i think they're just jealous of her nice locks! hehe...) so anyway, dh and I decided to take her for a hair cut @ parkway parade. S$18 gets the baby a (nice?) hair cut, his/her own screen showing cartoons, free balloon (we didn't get that), and free hair color (daddy says will spoil her nice hair so no, no!). pretty expensive if you take into account that daddy cuts his hair for S$10 (mummy's hair cut costs much more but we shan't go there... :P)

we met baby's yee yee (aka my sis) after the hair cut and she said she would do a better job than the hairstylist! what do you think?


dh and i also spend some time 'car shopping' this weekend... seems like our 2 litre sedan will have to give way for a MPV in the next 2 - 3 years' time since we are planning for no. 2. obviously its still too early to be going car shopping but we do want to know our options. before i list the cars we are considering, i must first make my stand clear - dh and i belong to the group of individuals who believe that cars are liabilities and thus we always consider the economical aspect before luxury. obviously, looks matter too and for dh, performance is important as well. i hate boxy cars (think odyssey, lafesta, espace - all reminds me of hearse!) and love sliding doors (very convenient when parking spaces are tiny!) so we shortlisted the following;
 
mazda 5 (small, compact and economical)

toyota fortuner (nice powerful car, unfortunately no sliding door!)
honda stream (nice, reliable carmaker - unfortunately also no sliding door!)

so what do you think?

i've been blessed...

once more!! the regular meetup kah-kis were just talking about this last week... about how as we move further away from the newborn stage, the less inclined we would be to have another one! one of us even set the dateline for june 09 to hit the jackpot (its not me! i'm terrible with datelines!)! so now i have an explanation for the weight gain, the sore nipples when li'l one nurses and my craving for meat! bring me the churrascaria anytime! i now have a legitimate reason to pig out! :P on a more serious note, will i have enough love to go around? will i have the time and energy to chase after a active toddler and at the same time, change nappies & nurse every hour? how will li'l one take to her new sibling? and most importantly - will the new sibling be a 'meimei' or 'didi' for li'l one? i suppose - only time will tell!

warning: graphic post i've always thought that bfing gets easier (& better) with subsequent children - because you are supposed to know what to do already! unfortunately though, i am still dodged by the same problems 2nd time round... its largely because my li'l prince decides that night feeds are not important & me, being the 'lazy' one, choosing sleep over clearing the milk ducts... now i'm in so much pain that i'm close to shouting out my entire vocabulary of expletives at the top of my voice! doesn't help that dh doesn't appreciate nor empathise with me! and oh, that's milk tinged with blood by the way & not strawberry milk! i had to use needles to poke and try to find the blocked ducts - that's the reason for the blood. no fun at all... i gave up after 15 mins w/o finding all the spots.
