Mike and Christina's Little Dragon Baby: 6th October

Heard about this Baby Market at Expo from facebook. They were promoting it very actively on facebook and we decide to dropby to have a look and "顺便" ask the cordlife people a couple of questions before signing up for it. :)

Cabbed to EXPO Mrt and walked in. While walking in we see a lot of people carrying BOXes and BOXes of Diapers! Most of them carrying/ferrying around 3 boxes, it was as if the diapers are free. -.-'

Went in and straight away saw the cordlife counters full of people, every table's taken so we spoke to one of the staff, they took our numbers to call us when there's a table. We didn't wait long though, was about to have a look at other stalls when they say there's a table for us. :)

Signed up for the 21 years plan and did all the registration/paper-work stuffs. There's some discount for those with the First Born Incentive Card.
Price on website for their 21 years plan is $6200 (before GST).
After a discount of S$550, we're paying or rather the govt is helping us to pay S$6,000 and we pay S$45.50 (inclusive of GST) because we're using the CDA to pay for it.

*For those who doesn't understand how CDA accounts works, after you open the baby bonus account and put in money, the government will match dollar for dollar (up to SGD6,000 for the first and second child.) :)

After we're done with the cordlife stuffs, decide to walk around to see if we can find any good deals. We still need 1 baby cot and 1 baby pram. We've lots of old and new baby clothes from friends and relatives so we figure we wouldn't need to buy any for a long long time. :P

Didn't get to see much, most of the deals are okay but nothing great enough to grab our attention.

The diapers and milk powders are a bit too early to buy because we don't know which ones would be suitable for Winnie. Didn't want to risk buying a few cans or packs and end up giving to others just because it's not suitable for her.

Thought the market was going to be bigger though, therefore a little bit disappointed and since there are many parents with prams the whole place is really packed and difficult to walk. :( Oh we bought another pan at the Harvey Norman Sale next door though. I almost purchased it a couple of months back at NTUC for $29 but I didn't and they are selling at S$15, so I had to get it! :P and I also went to check out the Loreal Sale and almost got the Maybelline pressed powder set until I saw the long queue and remembered I still have 2 refills at home. Hee.
