emiliAduka - this is our now..

PERGI "BUAT" CEPAT2!..
I can't believe i had that early a conversation with Mummy on baby-making!... she said "better go have another one before they realised it's not gonna work and take it back again!"... hahahhaa... typical kiasu Singaporean!....

i AM just happy that they've made the call to increase the maternity leave and provide more leave for parents with child(ren) under 7yrs..

• 16wks maternity leave (last 4wks can be flexi)
• 6 days child-care leave until child turns 7yrs old
• 1wk (i'm assuming it meant up to 7days) infant-care unpaid leave up until child turns 2yrs old
• tax incentives for working moms
• more baby bonuses for new moms to be announced later!

of course these will work for ppl like me who's planning to have another one.. but wat abt those ppl who are NOT planning for one or have already stopped planning? will they be "enticed"? errrr... prolly not lor.. coz these measures are short-term.. having a child is a long-term effect.. the cost of living juz gets higher yearly plus the companies that we're working in may not be that enthu with the no. of days we're away...

howell!... we see how lah ye... i, for one, intend to stick to my plan of having another baby by end of next year, insya-allah... and i also do hope that it's a girl!... i dun wanna have to go for a 3rd try for a girl!...


ps: hmmm... with all these incentives, it looks like this is making it more difficult for me to bow out from this company! :(
