Mom & Dad Congress

Another busy weekend! On Saturday, K and I attended a Mums' and Dads' congress at Fairmont Hotel .  The congress was supposed to start at 12pm, but when we reached the hotel ballroom, there was a super long queue for registration.  The whole registration process is so messed up and inefficient that I was really disappointed.  No wonder they purposely call it the "FIRST" Mums' and Dads Congress. = )

It was time and money well spent i would say. Although most of the things they discussed about I already know, i also learnt some new things like doing body massage for babies.. I have been massaging Bria for 2 days since, and she loves it!

Plus, there were a lot of free goodies such as milk powder, diapers and lots of lotions etc..  There's even a buffet spread for tea break.  And i must say the spread is very good, although the quality is average.  Got fried noodles, cakes and desserts, chicken, pies, sandwiches.  We definitely got back more than the $24 we paid for this congress.

K left during the tea break cause he was too tired.. so i attend the rest of the seminar by myself.  Also managed to catch Zoe Tay and Darren Chin for this session where they shared their experiences as parents.  Quite interesting...

Then on Sunday, I brought Bria to my dad's house, met his new maid, and then went for 3 hours of badminton.  First hour at Joo Chiat CC with Pui and Gary, then the next 2 hours at the airport with Pui, Gary and my in laws.  Brought Bria to the airport and had a tough time trying to convince my mother in law not to wear these leggings cause Bria hates to be warm.  Plus there is no matching top for the leggings.  I didn't want Bria looking "unmatched" in front of my friends! But she keep insisting cause she said the a/c at the airport is very cold.  Sigh.. I suggested swaddling Bria if she's cold, and even complain to K.. But we both still lost to my mom in law. Bria eventually ended up with leggings.  

Actually she still looked really cute lah, so not so bad.. haha.. Hated the cushion cover of the sofa at the airport though!  Super ugly design...
