Pregnancy: Pre-natal Yoga

Told myself that I will join a pre-natal yoga class if I got pregnant someday to ensure that I minimize all the 'negative changes' of being pregnant.

Matched multiple researches to prove that pre-natal yoga is not recommended during 1st trimester as this stage is more prone for miscarriage. Hence, it is encouraged for pregnant ladies to start after 16 weeks as it is safer.
Now that I'm in my 2nd trimester, it's time for me to 'work' on it!

10 reasons to start

Gathered my homework and shortlisted a few places:

True Yoga: Well-known for Yoga and has 2 branches at Pan Pacific Plaza or Ocean Financial Centre but both seems far and I'd prefer my class to be smaller and private.

VandaYoga: Consultant provided clear advice on my enquiry email and has 2 places to choose from, either at Serangoon Road or China Square for weekends classes. Again, location is not ideal as I know I'll end up at home instead of making my way out! 

Allaboutyoga: Offers a good range of Yoga selection for all and conducts the class at a studio within walking distance from my office. Such a good catch but the current batch is only available during office hours or on a Saturday. Didn't want to make special arrangements at work nor return to work area on a weekend and hence dropped this for the moment.


Inspiremum&baby: My ideal combination as it provides group class in a Condo and it's located at Simei at 8pm, every Tuesday. Overall profile looks good and saw a few recommendaation by mother-to-be via forum. Considering all factors: time, location and price, this made more sense as compared to the rest.

Finally decided on inspiremums and sent in my booking to request for my class to start as of 1 May 2013. Looking forward to our Taiwan trip and then, the start of my yoga class!

New Mahjong set for home

Since the return of our usual weekends 2 weeks ago, the MJ routine continues. Bought a set of new Mahjong tiles for home as the current set does not have the 'FEI' tiles!

Choose the blue tiles after some comparsion as beige looks good but seems too 'nude'. Gold was nice but too bright and aunty said that a layer of blur layer will form once it gets contact with water.

TA-DA, new baby in the LIM house


Damages: S$75 (but fully recovered from the game, haha!)

Pregnancy: 1st purchase for baby

Mega John Little Expo Sales: 4th - 14th April 2013

Did my 1st purchase for baby over the weekend!

After 5 months of 'shopping with no buying' policy as I didn't want to buy too early and keep them in the waredrobe, I finally made my 1st purchase for darling girl from FOX baby.


Usual price: S$50plus
Offer price: S$16

For now, this has to be kept in the waredrobe for at least 6 months as it is only good for 3 - 6 months old babies.  


I got the following for S$40 - $50 per set for baby nephew and it's now on promotion for S$16 each only *heartpain*

 

What goes along to the check out counter includes diapers for newborn, S size, pureen fruits and vegetables washer, baby body wash and toy for nephews, and of course, something for ourselves, a set of bedsheet and comforter set.
Usually, such fairs are worth a visit as prices will be generally cheaper but make sure you have an idea of the 'original prices' as not all goods are worth a buy.

Total damages are well controlled as we spent less than SGD$250.
