Our first visit to a Baby Fair

It was a relaxing Saturday morning as Felin and I had breakfast at Elias Mall. I proceeded for my appointment and Felin back home to sleep, I supposed.

I went to meet a ex-colleague who asked me about some insurance stuff. Previously, she did not do well in my company, switched to the bank as a relationship manager and managed to excel while in the new environment. I am really proud of her because I can see that she went through tough times to achieve her breakthrough in her career. During the meeting, she stressed the importance of right mentorship. Frankly, even if she was under me in the past, I don't think I am to guide her to this level.
I began to ponder upon my own capabilities on how I can help my 2 advisers to have a breakthrough as well. I personally haven't achieved such breakthrough myself, how can I help them do it?

After the meeting, I went back home to fetch Felin for lunch and to the Suntec Baby Fair. That was our first ever baby fair. I was never interested with such fairs in the past and never took a second glance with my friend's facebook when they posted on their loot. I was only interested with PC Show or the probably Electronic fairs.

I was pleasantly surprised that the crowd is just about the same as the PC Fairs. The booths are of wide varieties ranging from Baby's products such as Diapers, milk powder, clothings, accessories, cots, prams, etc... to Education, Enrichment classes. It also target mothers such as post maternal message, nutrients, breast pumps, etc... Fathers are also involved such as renovation on window grills, new cars, insurances, cord blood, etc... A lot of things are sold out within first 2 days such as Diapers and clothing items.

From this Fair, we gained more knowledge about items such baby strollers, cots, baby car seat, baby carrier, These are probably the bigger items which we will need to settle preferably by late November. My target is to complete my shopping list before 2nd week of December, when Felin is into her 34th week. Twin baby might come early, so better be prepared early.

We will definitely be going for the October Expo fair. That one, we will really need to stock up our stuffs and snatch the good stuffs with kiasu parents probably from the first day of the event. We have got another month plus to prepare our shopping list... Exciting times coming ahead...
