Hahaha... glad that I am not the only one fighting the mould. My hb feels that I have nothing better to do. Actually, I really cannot stand the mould leh. In fact, I felt a metallic smell coming from it when it is wet. Very er xin that we are using a mouldy towel lor... in a way the mould are living organism right??
<font color="0000ff">Twinklets,</font>
When I was doing laundry, I will wash the towel every two days but the mould still appears. Now my hb does the laundry, he can change the towels once a week! I wanna puke blood you know. I explain to him umpteen times but he still doesn't get it. So I just keep throwing the towels lor.
<font color="ff6000">Glayz,</font>
Precisely! I realise the towels started to thin at the mouldy part as though the mould is eating up the fibre.
<font color="0077aa">Jaymom,</font>
I htink you are right. Must make sure we air the towels well. I realise cay's towels never have such problems because we air it in her room where there is a lot of sunlight.
Regarding dark circles, I am another victim as well. I had them since school days. I realise how serious it was during my recent makeover. Under the lighting in the makeup room, the circles looked hideous. But once the concealer was applied, can't see it anymore. Sigh, I think it will only get worse with the night feedings in another few months' time.

So current issues of interest are towel moulds and eye bags!
I thot I am the fussy one, but looks like I am not the only one. Hehe. I also have this problem and like Jaymom mentioned, I resort to thinner towels or hang the towels in the airy kitchen to dry.
I gave up on my eye bags - got them from my dad (inherited) and hopelessly dark. My only solution is concealer. Hehe. But have to keep them moisturised too or it gets dry AND dark.

PHONICS
Wow Teacher LV is good ah. Mine also bad lah.... hubby always correct me n scold me cos he said A is picking up the wrong ones from me..... heehee.
Caymom, bath towels so far din see any black dots on them. Hubby n I have been using the same ones since 2002 we moved in, n not yet changed. Still in good condition. Maybe cos like Jaymom, after we use, we hang our towels in the kitchen area to air not in the bathroom. N we change every two days. For A, he has been using his till now since birth n still good. I change his everyday cos thin kind n easy to try.
Eye bags....

What i suggest is to dry your hair with a separate hand towel.Your body towel wouldn't be that wet then.I used to do that but now i too lazy liao.
<font color="ff0000">Ask Supernanny</font>
There is this make-shift stall behind my office selling many books ( brand new) at $10 each.
They have "Be Happy", "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". etc
What i noticed is "Ask Supernanny". I just came back and checked Popular's website and realised that the book is retailing at $23.13!
I tot of asking around to see if anyone of you interested as it seems like a good deal. I've already ask the stall-owner to reserve a new copy for me, will check if he has more stock.
Anyone?

Hihi
Have been MIA again. So soory coz has been really running up and down due to my house reno. Hopefully it will complete as per scheduled. *busy busy*
Pronounciation
My hubby and mine pronounce words differently. He will pronounce the words "phonically" unlike me, like for the word "colD". Even when it comes to our gal's name, we also pronounce differently. For him, it's MEagan, and me it's MAEgen. hehe
Hopefully my gal wont get confused.

This is SB software. I have compared using PPT SB & SF (Scrapbook Flair) SB, SF hardcopies are really much clearer than PPT ones.
But the cons part is it aint as convinient as PPT. Cos PPT can rotate,copy etc. This 1 u gotta insert 1 by 1. Their embellishments are so so only, so I use my own embellishments which I store in my PC.

This is the 1 tat I dl those embellishments & background paper. <font color="ff0000">Tangling</font> may have more links, u can check wif u for more.
Happy E-Scrapbooking!!!

Hi haven't heard from you for a long time. So where have you move to. Are you still at the west?
<font color="0000ff">Dark Circles</font>
So far have not found the miracle cream. I have used so many different brands but looks like it will remain as citizen like what Glayz said.
<font color="0000ff">Mckee & LV</font>
Our English teacher can you tell me the exact pronunciation of JOELLE. Will you pronounce as Jo-well or Jo-L. Cos ELLE we pronounce it as 'L'. Sia suay, mummy here don't even know how to pronounce own daughter's name.

thanks 4 checkg out prices 4 us. i think i'll give it a miss now, it seems serrich got secret deal!

bbrooster,
i will read it as 'Jo-L' too because the 1st syllable doesnt end with a consonant. For janelle, it will have the 'nelle' ending. But u will call it as 'jer-nel' or 'jan-nel'? technically speaking, 1st one is the right way but i do know of people who insist on 2nd one also.
K's name:
90% of people who read K's name got it wrong. Almost all clinic asst got it wrong, even my relatives now also calling the wrong pronounciation as what i wanted or what it should actually be.
here are the wrong pron to K's name:
1) Kai-Le
2) Kei-LAH
3) Car-Le (colour?!?!)
4) Kai-LAH (i hate most)
5) Car-LAH (carla lily?!?!?!)
The middle name is worst, 95% of folks got it wrong. oh no, i dont know if i'm doing the right thing in naming my dear K.
