Hee...Just came back from lunch and finished 1 coconut!! What a cooling drink to quench my thirst for this hot afternoon!! Yummy....
hunniepot,
I'm planning to hold Jayden's baby shower at home with buffet. Think it's more convenient for me as I don't have transport and it's very troublesome and expensive to travel around to distribute the cakes. So I'm just going to cater buffet and get a 4-5kg cake so that my guests can eat the cake at my place. I'll only send cakes to relatives who r not able to attend the baby shower.

hunniepot,
Lucky you!! Only a few relatives. For my case, just my MIL side, already have more than 10 aunties and uncles. My FIL side also ard that number. So I'm expecting more than 80 guests for Jayden's bb shower. Now considering if I should split the celebration into 2 days, 1 for relatives and the other day for frens.

Gosh.. you have so many relatives! I remembered that my hb side has abt 60 pple all at one time
(with all the kids) at my place during the tea ceremony.. and it is really very crowded.. and moreover that time I was wearing my gown and stuffs.. hot like mad even though we turned on all the air cons at home..
If I were to hold a buffet for Amanda's bb shower.. I will hold it separately for my family and my hb's family.. might not hold it at all for my hb's side as my MIL has this pretty weird thinking.. saying that we have "troubled" the relatives enough by getting them to attend my FIL & SIL's wake in 2004 & 2005 respectively.. and also our wedding last yr.. thus perhaps it is a good idea not to hold the bb shower for his side as we will have to trouble them to come down to our place again?! Dont see her rationale at all..

hunniepot,
Yah, my hb side alot of relatives. My tea ceremony last yr was like 'WAH'! The whole place was packed with people and then still have some relatives couldnt make it on that day. So I can imagine the chaos if everyone turn up during Jayden's bb shower. I also have not included relatives and frens from my side yet...
Hmm...your MIL is really weird. It's an event worth celebrating mah. Y she thinks it's troubling people? At least invite lor, if they don't want to come then just send the cakes over. Hmm...for me I like to have celebrations coz it's a time for family members to gather and bond. Otherwise, it's like only during CNY then can meet up with each other leh.

Think hold it on 2 separate occasions is a better idea.. it will feel more intimate if it is in a smaller grp.. at least can get to spend more time with each guest so they wont feel left out..
Yeah lor.. her thinking is very weird on many matters.. this is just one of it.. I also think it is an event worth celebrating.. moreover my bb is her first nei sun somemore.. haha.. then another of her weird thinking is that she so "zhong4 nan2 qing1 nu3" even on my dogs! My male dog has attitude problem and pretty difficult to handle and my female one is really very obedient.. and she likes my male dog very much and dislikes my female dog saying that nobody likes female dogs one.. *faint*

hunniepot,
hahaa...your MIL really very funny. Then if it's like dat, then u better discuss with your hb if u want to have a celebration lor. Like wat u say, it's her 1st nei sun, furthermore, it's your 1st BB! Don't let her thinking influence your thinking lor. To me, if my MIL thinks it's troublesome, then I'll call up the relatives on my own, no need to trouble her. It's my 1st child, of coz, I want to make it grand and memorable.
Ya, I'm seriously thinking of holding the celebration in 2 days. Still in the process of discussing with my mum and hb. Both of them are against the idea leh. Can't figure out their concerns at the moment....

yukie,
Actually I have thought of having the celebration at chalets but thinking back, it's actually quite inconvenient for relatives to go to chalets as most of mine don't drive. I remembered during my ROM, I actually had my reception at East Coast Chalet, in the end, only a few relatives turned up. Wasted my $$ in catering the food!
Furthermore, if hold the celebration in outside venues, have to bring alot of bb barang barang out. Imagine if staying at the chalet for at least 1 night, have to bring don't know how many diapers, steriliser, milk pump etc etc....
So this time round, will hold it in my house since it is more cosy and convenient to come.

My hubby cutted a plate of apples and handed them to me. At first I thought these are my valentine presents. So I passed him a container of cookies to him and said "happy valentine day". Then he said,"Oh yah hor, today valentine day hor! Wat! gave me a container of stolen cookies from your mom?" Then, I told him off,"Better than you, give me nothing. I thought that plate of cutted apples are my presents." Then we continue arghing... This is my valentine day.
1st month celebration:
I told my husband that I dun want a celebration because I remember my nephew crying so badly on that day because there were too many people. My husband insisted. I cannot imagine the amount of people in my house on that day. I think I will just have to give in because my baby is going to be my in-law side first grandson. *sign*

sent the emails to you liao.. so you are also born in the year 78 huh? Same same
Think all mummies' experience is different lar.. my mum said there is no need for her to insert any pills.. they only wheeled her into the delivery suite and put her on the drip and then break the waterbag.. no pain at all.. only a strong peeing sensation thats all.. and moreover that experience for her is 28 years ago.. think the procedure shld even be better now..
