My husband say I silly. Why happy over the COE $2 unless you driving the car for 10 years. He say the price of car is not reducing much and the COE rebate is zero when next time you want to sell the car. He says no point. ha ha
Mashy
Me too cannot tell you are 35. ha ha you look so much younger man. I still think you are xiao mei mei to me , now you my senior for 1 year.

Haha, I was telling my hb about the COE prices and surprisingly (for a man who used to own a car and painfully had to let it go), told me that now having a car is a liability, the moment we own it, it just depreciates, unlike money sitting in a bank where $1000 stays as $1000. LOL... am proud of him for having such a thinking but also can vomit blood coz there goes my "dream" of owning a vehicle for convenience sake....especially when we are TTC for #2. hahaha

Maybe u didn't carry enough of weights? I'm also quite bouyant so I gotta carry quite a lot of weight in my belt to reduce my bouyancy. Lost 1 of my fins during my last dive cuz the strap snapped when I was being attacked by a school of small barracuda so I haven't dived since then. Mu hb doesn't like the sea so its been a long time since i stepped foot into the sea already. My diving equipment all mouldy already so I took them out last month to clean them up alittle.

Maybe once we're all done with having children can go on a diving trip =P. I think I will need refreshers course!!!
Belinda
I guess my hb is now used to life without a car these past 5 years...coz I've been drilling into him how good our public transport actually are and that even if we take taxi everyday (if we want to be indulgent), still won't cost more than the monthly overheads we need to pay for the car and don't have to worry about parking and additional parking fees. I think I drilled in him too well. LOL.

You're still so young!!! C'mon, u need to have more energy than an old lady like me!
Zhimin
I'm so glad that I'm preggy before i hit 36. It will be just 1mth away from my 36th birthday when i deliver #2.
mamachan
Your hb hasn't counted in inflation. The money in the bank doesn't stay $1000. It gets lesser each day in terms of value. But of course the car depreciates even faster.
But for me, it's more for the convenience. I can't imagine having to drag C in public transport. I'll sooner die of stress from trying to keep in from running into the MRT tracks. That day just brought him for his flu jab I already 'peng san'. He was running all over. When I'm registering him, he'll run off and i've to catch him many times. Then when paying, also same thing. And kept crying, wanted me to open up his sweet for him. Argh! I hope #2 will be a less active kid.

hahaha, he's still more for having a proper disposable income that we can save up on for future family travel trips and having the spare cash to spend. Where I'm staying is convenient for both of us to go to work with public transport. My boy is used to taking bus and MRT so is well behaved when outside and will sit down. Usually on MRT, he'll still be seated in stroller. I just strap him up so he can't run and be much of a mischief. We are blessed to have the convenience of a vehicle whenever my relatives are out of town and need us to car-sit for them. LOL. But most of the time, it sits in our parking lot. More useful for evening errands and weekends.
May
We're still young eh.... *winks*. Perhaps Jaime will be better when next year comes...older and more "ting hua"

wow..so many mummies here who are divers. i have always wanted to take up but in the end ..gone with the wind when i was expecting. haha...
belinda - ya i also missed the time when 2 of us are on the bike. no need to pay for car park in malls. and in puiblic car park, just a few cents for the whole day.
mamchan/mashy - i think investing in property is still the best after all. hopefully i can own a second property soon after paying off my hdb.

haha so we have a few biker's mummies here too. my hb is still bike siao. he bought a second hand bike abt half a year ago as a transport. but now no extra helmet for me to sit.
mamachan - ya aiming to clear current loan first. cos it's bank loan...interest is too high. then slowly aim to buy a second property so that when we retire, as least got a steady flow of income coming in. hee...can also pass down to my sons. one each ..no fighting.

Mummies,
Yday u all are talking abt pay cut and all that. I just come out from an urgent meeting held by our boss. We are being "encouraged" to work 4 days per week starting from Dec. For every friday, we are supposed to use our annual leave to clear. Those had no more leave will take no pay leave.
Was joking with my colleagues, maybe when I have my ML, they will call me and tell me no need to come back already.

I also have an Advanced Open Water Diving licence...but has been more than 5 years since I last dive. I can't wait for Mel to grow up so that I can do stuff like diving, roller blading with her....haha
CL, Belinda, Aileen
Yes I think more retrenchment to come next year, economies are at a stand still now cos a lot of companies can’t get financing. Anyway, we had a pat talk session 2 weeks ago to manage our expectation on bonus. So depressing to go to work everyday, endless bad news!

It depends on whether you belong to the 'protected' pp under MOM. Coz lately there's a case of a preg lady got sacked but MOM say cannot do anything coz she's not 'protected' under the laws. She's gotta engage a lawyer to fight for her benefits.
MOM should include everyone not just those in the lower income brackets.

You for once definitely do not look 37!!! Thought you still early 30s!! Still can try for #2! You still exercise regularly right? Should be ok lah....coz exercise keeps the body age young...I think you're way fitter than I am.
May
paycut is better than not having a job anymore. So I guess this is just temporary until things get better.

Hi mommies,
finally back and somewhat settled down, thanks for all the good wishes! Been so busy that we haven't even taken photos of Lauren after the first day...
The name just popped up and it became very natural to call baby Lauren, so it was really easy naming her compared to S!
May,
Lauren's middle name starts with a 'M', Lauren Mikaela.
Other M names could be Marissa, Madelene...
Aileen,
try for no 3, then you can use the name Lauren, heehee!
Re: Open Water
I used to dive too! Got my license a loooong time ago, then did refresher... loved diving sooo much, i managed to see turtles, barracuda, sea slugs, baby sharks, Squid (they can sure change their colours to the exact hue of the rock they are hiding on!)... really pity I dun dive anymore, gave all my equipment away, I miss those dive trips, the salty sea breeze, and water drying on your skin, sigh....
Mashy,
CONGRATS!!!! Really good news!

Hi mummies,
i remember some of you are interested in getting an air purifier some time back. Yesterday we had an in-house service by Delphin and really see the value of having one. It works as a vacuum cleaner, removal of dust mites and air purifier. we all know dust mites causes asthma and allergy. Price is very competitive with other brands thats in the market too!
they did a free vacuum service on our 5 years old queen size mattress and gosh what we saw was scary! she oso did a cleaning on dylan's mattress, pillows and soft toys and boy i was abit shock too =p
thinking some of you might be interested to know more and since they provide 1 time free service and demo, i had refer some of you to the sales person. she will contact you stating my name but no obligation if you not interested in having their free service. just tot to share with you all something worth getting as me and hb see the value in it =) really apologise that i did not ask for your premission 1st before refering some of you.
btw, as a token of appreciation from them, they will be giving a free gift to every house owner.

Welcome back. So does Lauren looks like jiejie?
How's Shannon's reaction to her baby sis? I am wondering how Jamie will react when she see her sis too.
Belinda,
Thanks.. I am clueless about this. Just go according to what boss say. Take turns to clear Annual Leave. Now I know it is 20% pay cut.
Mamachan/SSF/Mashy,
I am not sure if I am safe cos I am preggie. But only here for 1yr plus. So I think there is still some risk bah. Hope that it will pick up alittle after this "small sacrifices".

hee, cant wait to see her photos.

since now you are preggie, they can't ask you to go wor according to MOM. unless they willing to pay you 4 mths of ML. have a MTB in Jan09 thread kena, as co not doing good.
can see your company took the route of keeping you all rather than axing ppl, which is a good thing too.
I agree that what we see now with all the R thingy, is just the beginning. more world finanical issue like bad debts will surface..
