(2003) Calling all 2003 babies

Serena ... wow. Me also not a lot of relative so no need to go house visiting, but me not going anywhere leh. *sigh* "tong ren bu tong ming" ... me also no CPF so quite easy to plan leh... *sob sob* I foresee no holiday this year btw. It's usually a different story with a single income household eso when hubby not highly paid. But anyway, B's gf's parents just sneaked off to Tokyo and back, without the girls! 5 days! I wish I can do that. The boys have never leave my side since they left my body! Ha!

.ky.
 


Sarah, the school at least included enrichment into the curriculum. I've asked B's school b4 and I've asked if I can opt to send him for gym in 1 afternoon. They said sure, pay the fullday fees ... the teacher did too try to ask but still no change. Well, that's why he goes to gym class outside ... and a cheap one too.

.ky.
 
anyone knows the direction to go to Jusco, in JB? Sherlyn?

btw, Sherlyn, the drinking straws in NTUC. Found them... it's the same as wat K's mum gave us, just that it's made in china. I think wat K's mum gave is probably made somewhere in europe, so quality is different...

.ky.
 
Tricia ... go on, have a second one if u are keen, and can afford. btw, I was not very young when I have my #2. And I do feel that if I'm younger, I'll have more energy... *sigh* but we've always wanted 2.

on enrichment, every parent has his/her own thinking. Mine's changing each time I speak to someone ... well, if only I've got more energy, it'll different. But I seem to short-change them with this lack of energy (personally that's how I view it).

Hi ky,
I have been to Jusco in TebrauCity and another one in JB but cannot rem the place name. I rem the route to TebrauCity one. U drive by 1st causeway and drive pass CitySq, continue drive straight, do not turn left even you see exit to Woodlands signage when you are at the cross bridge expressway, pass by Pelangi area , still continue drive straight for abt 20mins and slowly u will see Carrefour on your left and not far from here you will see JUSCO and you drive towards there. Ha..if am unclear in providing the direction, pls call me and I explain on the phone again. When are you going ? Am going there next week and still planning the date

Hi Sarah and Helen,
Me love Pangkor also very very much. Have seen photos taken by friends and I am in love with the place. But heard it's very long journey there. Now with 3 kiddos, it's rather difficult to go out..sigh...
 
hi Worry mum,

Wao you know the name. :) I am not sure if it is 49.90, but it is below $50. It is on sales that day. We bought at Tangs.
 
Hi ky and serena,

if only I am in SG... we could visit each other since i also no relative to visit in SG (besides my maternal grandma's place).

ky, my kids also never leave my side since they left my body. Given me the chance (like follow dh on business trips), i also will not travel without them.
 
hi Ky, I think Apricot has given quite good description of the direction. So sorry, I am really direction blind, so if you need further help, i can ask my dh to tell u. I only know he just keep driving "straight" and like wat Apricot has said, after carrefour, you will reach Tebrau City's Jusco in no time. However, according to Laipeng, she still thinks jusco stuff are more expensive then Giant in msia. Its quite a nice place to shop and walk around, but i seldom buy unless it is on sales.

I also hope to go there before CNY to chk out if there are sales, but now kids schooling leh

Yeah!! My account is back. Never try to change the email address...problem. Thanks to Chin Leng's help, I got mine back to live!!

hi Sarah/Helen/Apricot/Chloe
We took the Pangkor Island Resort direct ferry, was easy but a bit of waiting time.

Pangkor Laut Resort is heard to be the best and very expensive place at Pangkor (btw it is away from Pangkor Island). We din drive so not too sure abt car's safety issue.

Mommies
Any one interested to have a CNY gathering? I live at Dover, anyone keen?
 
Yesterday was J's 10th birthday but he was on MC for 2 day. 2 girls from his class called him during recess and sang him a birthday song...whoa they are so cute!!!

Looking at it, I'm feeling so so old. All energy is lost.
 
hi jpooh,
yo, your boy's frens are really sweet!

re cny, sigh i need to work on cny eve & maybe first day of cny cos there's deadline to meet
sad.gif

not very auspicious to work on cny first day is it huh???
 
aiyo, jpooh, 2 girls.... J's in serious trouble... hahaha! happy birthday!

when do u intend to have your CNY gathering... ahem, any interesting games for adult?

.ky.
 
Hi Apricot, thx for the direction ... will call u to get more details if we are going to Jusco. not sure when actually ...

.ky.
 
Hi serena, I like sony! It's a brand thingy that we trust from our experience so it covers our camera, video cam, tv, laptop now. A feedback re canon. My bro had a canon ixus something and it didn't work during their holiday after nearly dropping it. Note - didn't actually drop it so think must be the 'shock impact'. Sent for repair under warranty but it kept heating up after.
 
Hi chloe,
From some sources but I cannot rem from where, I only know going back on 4th day of Cny (ie Chu1Si4) is not auspicious. Unsure how true it is but I practise this faithfully for a couple of years. Another reason on leave on 4th day, ya ya it's my own reason, is I need more rest cos usually we will gamble with friends (card games or mahjong) til quite late or even wee hrs so need more rest.
 
hi ky & Mommies

I'm thinking of 9th Feb, third day of CNY abt 11am and kids can get home for nap.

Monopoly, twister, cards, DVD for kids

Blackjack if possible for Adults.. hee hee hee
Sorry no proper Mahjong set/table at home leh...
 
Thanks Jpooh for the invitation, I am very interested in the gathering but am no good in any adults games hehe. However, i will be away in msia as usual, and likely be back only on weekends (or who knows after that, since dh not working). Keep me posted on the date so that if I can make it, i will go. Oh another thing is, dh's grandpa just died last yr aug, would it be alright for you if i able to attend? I was told not to do visiting and give angbaos.

hmm by the time JA is 10, i will be 40, and i think i will be worried if 2 girls call him to wish him happy birthday ... hehehehe. Happy Belated Bday to your boy.
 
Hi Jpooh and mommies,
Yeah, I was thinking of CNY gathering too. But sorry, I cant make it on 9th, will be in Msia too.

If you gals dont mind, how about coming over to my place on Sat 16th evening? Lets potluck. I'm at Upper Changi.
 
Ky, This remark has left quite an impression on me! "The boys have never leave my side since they left my body!" I actually went Finland for 2 weeks without Belle when she was 1 year old. I must be a really lousy mum!! Actually it was my hubby who forced me not to live my life just for the kid. So, I'm always like pondering if it's right or wrong. You know the usual things that mothers always worry.

jpooh, ya I think it's kind of sad not being able to find replacement but think positive. There are people looking for jobs and can't any! Now you have one ready for you and begging you to go back, WOW!! Ha.. hmmm makes sense?? Also, isn't it quite difficult to take money from people? For example, my hubby do not give money promptly. Every month must remind, wish he could apply GIRO!!

Jan, I think Sony is not bad too but kind of expensive! unless I can find sponsor!!

Apricot, you go JB every weekend or what? You sound like a local there!!Ha..
 
Hi Serena, no la..I do not travel to JB every weekend ..it's every quarter to be exact..I only know few places and recently found Tebrau City..
 
Hi apricot!

You must be a really proud mom! You've got three handsome boys!

Hmmm with genes like yours and your dh's, you should be having even more children!

I like the twins' eyes especially, so bright and sparkling! And the eyebrows are so well defined! Really, your kids have very handsome features!
 
hi Serena

I've been working part-time for the last 4-5 years. I had a a working partner whom covered me when I was not there. More like job share. She was offered a full time and had left. Meanwhile my ad hoc is covering but still looking for a long term part time. Till now, yet to find a suitable replacement, that's why I have to start full time in Feb till I find someone.


My family allowance is hardly on time too. Always have to threaten with a pig's head!!
 
Hi Serena,

Sorry for my remarks. I don't feel that going off on a holiday without the kids is bad ... in fact, on the contractory, I really wish I can do that. I bf Ben till he's 2 plus, and now still bf K and for this simple reason, I'm home each night. hubby and I don't even sneak out at night for supper. we've only done it one time when I was sick and he had to bring me to clinic to see doc and thereafter we sat in the coffee shop a while more. I do think that one should not live the life just for your kids, but it's really difficult for me as I've noone to depend on. Imagine that my MIL has not step into my house for goodness knows how long, and well she feels that since I've got a helper, she need not bother much to offer caregiving help. But anyway, she got her hands full, n btw, once when I did seek help when I was working Part-time n nanny could not help to care for a few days, it turned into a nightmare coz that's probably one of the trigger points which cause MIL to quarrel badly with her daughter, and till today, the daughter's still not on talking terms with us ... huh, so would I dare to seek help so that I can go off? And well, my own mum's just enjoying her own carefree life to ask if I do need help, and she's definitely not capable to do it even if I asked. So, Serena, I don't think one's being lousy for doing what u did, really. I think it's great to have good support and able to have a good balance actually. For me, I do have that in mind, when the boys are older.

Hi Apricot,
Cute little ones! Haha, it must really be joyous for you to look at the 3 handsome boys ;)

Hi Sheryln,
JA's case doesn't sound so bad. Guess you have to keep reminding him that what are the better ways when dealing with others. Don't lose heart.

Hi Serena,
Will be going to Tokyo Disney? If so, you may want to check out the accommodation within it. Heard that it's quite affordable. You are one lucky woman - 2 Japan trips within months!

Hi Chloe,
Feeling better?
 
phew, very busy this week cos my mother is not helping me out.

CNY at Jpooh's place is out, for Sarah's, a bit too far (cos dh likely not attending) since is gog to end late. Have gym that day at 5pm to 630pm too. So you girls enjoy yourselves.

Sarah, your dh also msian?
 
Thanks Kristan .. will pop by if i visit those malls .. I will also check up yellow pages for outlets (now then i think of it).
 
Serena, I agree with what Ky has said. I hv many other friends also gog overseas without kids, some even long trips like 2 weeks. I also wish i can do that. I am also KIV-ing it till the kids are older. Enjoy your holidays.
 
Hi Serenade,

frankly, after so much encouragement and consolation from you guys, i also feel that JA is not so bad .. I think he is just really really very playful. I hope he studies well when he grow older (now he still only want to play) , cos he say he want to buy sports car when he grow up, 3 some more. ahahahaha
 
Hey KY, no need to say sorry. I just kind of sharing my thoughts out loud with you. Interpersonal relationship is usually very tricky especially when in-laws are involved. Like you I don't get much help too. No inlaws and my parents are too busy with their business to help me out. Btw, don't your sis-in-law missed the brother?? If I don't talk to my brother for a long time, I'll miss him too. Ha... strangely it goes the same with people that I know. If I haven't heard from anyone of you for awhile, I'll start to sms and find out if you girls are still around. I'm really odd right? Anyhow, I'm impressed with your BF programme.

Apricot, so cutee.... so jealous!!

Hi Serenade, I have no access to your blog. I'm so curious with HS thingy. May I have the permission? About my Japan trip, it seems that my hubby is so busy tied up with work that he hasn't booked for the trip yet!! Sigh! So, it may be postponed!! And because of this, don't think I can confirm the 2 gathering at the moment. Will wait and see if I m still going for the trip.

Sherlyn, you know why 3 cars? One for each of you!!
 
K's mom, you must be really busy because only 1 post from you. Btw, any Chinatown in Germany? How do you celebrate your CNY there?
 
Hi Sher!

JA's ambition is to collect cars. At least we do know that he's gonna be rich!
happy.gif


My son wants to be a construction worker. Hahaha... And you know what? He wants to build a castle. And as all moms would, I'm extremely proud of him. Construction work is a very decent job, why shouldn't I be proud of my boy? Bob the Builder certainly has great influence in him!

Hi Serena!
No Chinatown here... very very sad... even the Chinatown in London is nothing compared with that in NYC.
CNY is basically another day here... a working day. No celebration. It's one festival that my children will only learn when they're back in Sg.
Also this year my dh will be back in Sg for coy's briefing. So what's there to do in CNY here? Sad, right.

Hi Sarah, jpooh!
SOunds exciting with all the CNY potluck and house visiting. I guess we can only join in when we're back for good.

Hi ky!
Totally understand about the wanting to sneak out for some couple time in the evening. Right here, we're on our own too. SO now that my parents are visiting, dh and i grab some opportunities to be out on our own on weekends... yet, only a couple of times so far.
 
Serena, you are not odd .. cos i m like that too .. I do miss people and friends. Sometimes when i m free, like when dh is driving and kids are behaving, i will be looking through my fone contacts and start sms friends that I hv not talk to for some time.

Regarding the 3 cars .... he did not say is for us. He started with only wanting a car, then start to add on. He is not working hard now .. so how to buy 3 cars hahaha
 
Worrymum, not sure if JA qualify to be a fan, but he does enjoy the set of DVDs. However, he did not request this word launch thing. Dh is the one who wants to buy for him, at least it is a learning tool and not a toy. Told him i can teach spelling and save the money, but he say I will not be as interesting.
 


Hi K's mom,

I don't need him to be rich, as long as he don't turn rebellious, gangster, take up vices, i will be happy.
