Hi,

For me, I m blessed, I work around orchard area, so sometimes I go to Isetan Scotts there to pump, or after I pump from Forum, I just rinse it with hot water from my office the water dispenser........Isetan Scotts there they hv hot water flask too......

But if u r particular, u might want to buy from the pharmacy or shops, they sell those sterilise capsules or tabs.......but u hv to get a container big enough to contain ur pump......:tlaugh:

pinkytham, is there microwave in your office pantry?

If yes, you can buy those microwavable containers for bottles. After washing your pumps, just dump them into the container and put in the microwave for 5mins.

If not, there are those steralising tablets you can easily get. After washing your pumps, pop one tablet into a container of water (enough to cover your pumps).

Alternatively, if the above still not applicable to you, then see if you can time your express time to pump just once a day during office hours? E.g pump just before you need to go to work (example 7am?) and schedule the next one say at 1pm then the next one you can pump at home (example 7pm)? In this case, you can bring your pump home to steralise.

Pinkytham, walao these aunties are really horrendously sick. They should perhaps be the one to see a doc and when there they should then ask the doc not to prescribe any med cos what they really need is a life!

Ya man, ignore them also so as not to be as immatured like them but they think they can say more. Give them your piece of mind siah and show them ur power!

 

[pinkytham]

wakao they are really mean! Ask ur boss give them more tasks cos they really got nothing else better to do. The women species never fail to amaze us. Even at giving up seats to pregnant women, they just don't get it and empathise with fellow women. Instead, it is the guys or elderly who are more gracious in giving up their seats.

yar i agree, most of time are men who gave up their seat automatically for me when i take bus or mrt. At time there are even aunties who want to fight for the seat with me, hahaha. but i dont really bother the aunties want to sit, let them have it.

I empathise with you cos can understand how very sian it is to kenna such boss and colleagues; can cause low morale. Do you have your own clique (jie mei) in your office? If not, my advise is to let live these aunties. It is not because u scared them but for the sake of surviving and making your life there more bearable. As the saying goes "Join them if you cannot fight them". Not saying to end up behaving like them but just laff off their comments instead of picking a fight with them. Otherwise even if you win, you still lose. And they will pick on you even more on little things you do. Your boss already bo chap and doubt any of your words of wisdom will make them fan xing so why bother right. Just laff at their pathetic souls (in your heart) each them they comment about you and reply them with some stoopid replies just to entertain them. Better still, praise them etc how nice they look today, nice blouse/shoes/hair/bag/whatever.... before they got any chance or time to talk about you. That means, you initiate or change the topic.

Somehow there's this characteristic in most china ladies I've encountered. They behave like tyrant and everybody else is their slaves or owe them. They like to throw their weights and definitely make their voices heard. They kinda forget this is not their hometown to continue to behave so badly.

Disclaimer (lol): Of course not all china ladies are liddat as there are some real nice ones but generally the observation seems to apply more truly to aunties around the 35-45 age group.

 

[pinkytham]

but apparenly i tried that like ignore them but they still continue its as if that the whole office is against u and that they are forcing u to leave.
but am a straightforward person...if i dun like that someone i wun bother to tok to him or her cus like kinda fake front like that. but if work related than no choice have to tok.
haiz...dunno la nxt mon goin back work le =D
