(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB

I called MOM to report him but they said they don't cover executive & above.However, they did advise that I can report to the police for his vulgarities, i can sue him for insulting a women's modesty. In my resignation letter, i wrote in my last sentence that I reserved my rights to sue him, and becos of that he actually UNSINCERELY apologise to me.

Hong, yes, i'm in accounting line.
 


SleepyGarfield,
Are u certified accountant? can u help shops to do freelance accounting?
Is another way to earn ur living at ur own time.
I heard the payout is quite gd too.
 
Joline - oh, we can meet up there liao!

sleepygarfield - think u shd report this company... cannot let them bully u like tat. but do u have any evidence?
 
Hong,

Yes, I'm a qualified accountant. I can do freelance book-keeping, any lobang?

MTDT, i don't hv evidence but I've witnesses! However, i don't think anyone dare to go against him, everyone needs a job now.
 
garfield - then dun sue him abt the illegal stuff...

can got to MOM and complain abt unfair termination.
 
Hello ladies... am fr June thread... sorry to kpo a bit in this thread.

sleepygarfiled, dont be upset ok? i had one ex boss who was a crook also. better steer clear. my ex boss also very garang one. want us to do things whether right or wrong all per his instructions. in the end, i gave up. this included share option worth 1 yr my salary. (haha but after the announce the fraud the share price collapsed) anyway, it gives me a peace of mind. btw, just to let u know this boss is sitting in jail now. good thing i left

i think call CAD better... then he gets his just deserts. that was what one of my ex colleagues did.
 
Hi sleepygarfield,
I think it's better that u leve before u r implicated in the matter. It's not worth to slog for this kind of boss & sacrifice everything. At least, u still have your integrity & conscious intact.

I used to have a nasty encounter with my boss too. Apparently he did some things behind his partner's back!! You should have seen his face when I told his partner everything in front of his face during my exit interview.

MOM does not deal with bargainable staff (exec & above level, not wif any union) issues. If you wish to report to CAD, you'll have to provide evidences to support your case. Since you have non, & ur witnesses not willing to come forward, it's highly unlikely that CAD will make a case out of it.

Guess your only hope is to report to police or sue ur boss about ill-treatment, using vulgarities & threatening you. I believe it's a serious enough case.

I always believe that evil-doers will get their just dessert. It's only a matter of time.

In the meantime, do take care of u & ur baby and also keep your options open for any freelance, home-based or part-time work.

Good luck!!
 
hi everyone
anyone experienced or experiencing discharge that's watery and colourless in nature? i dun think it's urine leak but i can't be too sure also. it happened to me just now when i was walking...arrrgh! keep calling gynae i also pai seh
 
Sleepygarfield.
sorry i dun have lobang but i will keep a look out for u.

missmoon,
is ur tummy painful?
 
hong, tummy not painful. sometimes got a specific poking sensation near pelvic area but when that water discharge thing happened, no feeling except for the "flow"
 
missmoon,

It's quite normal for us to have a sudden gush of discharge when we stepped into 2nd trimester, I'm not sure of the reason but my gynae said it's normal. I had lots of colourless and watery discharge too during my 1st preg. However, if it's pinkish, then you got to see your gynae immediately cos it could be water bag leaking. Otherwise, if you don't experience any pain or discomfort, you should be alright.
 
hi missmoon,

better call gynae and check lor.. even if it's a minor thing but to play safe u should seek medical advice..

Me too just had bleeding (like menstrual flow) 3 hours ago when I was walking towards canteen to buy lunch. It's out of sudden one lor.. i was shocked when I saw a patch of blood stain on my panties and the fresh blood continue discharged from inside me..

quickly called hubby and he came straight away to fetch me to see gynae liao.. luckily bb still kicking alive inside my tummy with strong heartbeat and gynae confirmed everything is alright. She said my placenta is a bit low that's why when I walk a lot the friction will cause the bleeding.. I'm now on hospitalisation leave until 2 Feb..

she also said new year period better stay at home and dun go "pai nian" lor.. think my boss sure give me black face when i go back to work one.. haiz..
 
sleepy garfield, thanks!!

joline, aiyoh, you still so calm! i think i would've freaked out. thank goodness you and bb all right. better rest well and just relax at home liao
happy.gif
dun care abt boss lah, your health and bb's wellbeing more important mah, hor. is there anything that can be done for low placenta?
 
Hi Joline

So happy to hear that you bb is ok. Since your placenta is lying low, then you must not walk too much and don't even think of running. And also must abstain from sex liao...

Don't worry about your boss, majority of the bosses are like that, just take this opportunity to rest well. Take care ya!
 
Hi Joline,

Don't worry so much abt ur boss opinion. Just rest well for the time being...anyway nx wk there is a few PH SO actually you didn't hv lots of day off mah!!!

Take care as bb inside shld be ur top concern and priority now
 
Hi Joline,

Glad to hear your bb is ok...dun worry much abt how ur boss think...health n bb more important...rest well...need any help while hb not in give me a call...
 
mismoon,

i did not feel any discomfort when bleeding.. gynae also told me that it's good sign that i never feel any discomfort cos it implies that bb is doing fine. Jus that hubby very kam cheong until cannot continue his work so rush down all the way to my office to fetch me.. gynae gave a jab and some hormone at this stage. She said the placenta will shift upward in 5th month or so so asked me not to worry lor.

SleepyG,

ya ya.. gynae also asked me not to have sex at this stage, hee.. my boss told me his wife never got any problem during her pregnancy.. dun think he can understand my situation.. see how lor..
 
Joline,

my boss also has 2 daughters, if he can understand, he will not ask me that stupid question after i took 1 day mc, even a normal person will fall sick, moreover, it was the only day i took in 3 mths and he can ask me to choose either bb or work..all boss are heartless creatures!
 
maxxx,

what i worry now is PH will eat into and counted as hospitalisation leave.. like that i rugi liao.. but of course it's a big relief to know that bb is ok inside me.. jus now asked my gynae to check for the gender but bb never want to open legs.. haiz..

hi dear,

so surprise to receive your call.. u too must take good care of yourself and bb ya..
 
dear,

dun say sorry.. i understand one lah.. in fact have to thank you for showing concern.. me lousy lor.. hope the coming year of the dog will be a smooth year to all the mummies and BBs here..
 
Hi everyone,

I'm Laura, just joined this forum. My no.2's EDD is 25 Jul, so I drop by this forum to get to know more mummies here. Hope to share and learn from each other.
 
Hi Sleepy Garfield.
It really makes me sick to know that such bosses exist. They will get caught one day. You made the right choice to resign and not get involved. taking care of your pregnancy is utmost important now. My heart goes to you. I know that it is really tough going thro very bad morning sickness. I am still vomitting like mad still.in the morning, I vomit 4-5 times whether I eat or not. The acid from the stomach is really a lot. After getting some lunch, will throw out either an hr later or in min-afternoon. Even if i take dry biscuits or anything, will throw out still, before dinner. And for dinner.... well it really depends. Also, I vomit at the smell of food cooking.sO, never really put on, only lose weight.

Just to say, you r not alone. I'm sure all these will pass soon. It has been so many weeks. Just do take care during CNY, not to move around and eat too much.Take great care.
 
Hi fellow July MTBs,

Just came across this forum and would love to join you gals. I have just entered the 2nd trimester and find that my nausea is diminishing. Yippee! Hope everyone else's is too, as I find that morning sickness is the most unbearable side effect of the pregnancy so far. By the way, my EDD is 25th July and I am following up with Prof Mary Rauff from NUH.
 
missmoon - It may be your CM. It seems that PG women gets more of it than norm. If you need assurance, pls call your OBGYN. There's nothing to be pai seh about.

Joline - I am so happy to hear that everything is A-OK. Please, rest, rest, rest!!! BB and mommie is upmost important!!!

dear - I second that...lots of bosses are indeed heartless. What's worst, some of them are women who are mothers too.

A very warm welcome to Laura and Sunshine!
happy.gif


Just want to wish everyone a HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!
 
joline - must really rest more... bedrest is the best. so CNY no running ard for u.
happy.gif


garfield - dun think so much abt that stupid boss. he is not worth all ur time "thinking" abt him. :p just concentrate on ur health and ur bb.
happy.gif


tutuion is a good option for the time being...
or how abt being a nanny... sure there is market for tat (esp if u stay in new estate).

welcome to Laura and Sunshine.

Sleepy Garfield,

I was away on MC yesterday and came back to see that you had resigned.... good thing for you too rather than endure that sort of monster boss. What kind of boss is he to throw his weight around and order his subordinates to do illegal stuffs.

The other time when I called MOM to request help, I was also in executive post. Prob it's also after my region's MP writing to them, then they start helping me... heh heh heh, I was also frustrated being rejected by them again and again you see?

Joline,

I experience the same thing as you. But my bleeding isn't that much. Just a few spots. Doctor also requested me to stay home rest and be on hospitalization leave. But I'm still a probation staff in the new company thus I must be more responsible so I went on one day mc only. Do rest more and take care ok?

Welcome Laura and Sunshine,

Hey, we share the same EDD!!! Heh heh, so nice to know that. Wah, if our little ones comes out to be on the same day, they can 'jie bai' as god-brothers/sisters already.....
 
hi all mtb, js heard from my colleague yesterday that if u have very bad ms, ur bb might b a boy... for me until now not more than 10 times... so probably a gal... moreover gynae scan n said 60% gal by looking at the growth direction of the private area... dunno how he see...
 
missmoon, so u called ur gynae & wat he said? Whenever i sneezed hard or vomit, sometimes i wd have a "quick flow" of the dischrg, usually yellow watery. Bt i wd be worried, coz dunno "what" flowed out.. Thk best dun have any sudden movements.. walk slowly. Take Care!

Anyone sneezed everyday & nite? This week have been kinda bad leh.. last nite b4 sleep, sneezing & blowing away, took me almost 1hr 2 finally settle down. Woke up 2 pee after tat oso like tis.. took me almost 30min b4 i can settle down.
Isit coz of the weather? or coz my nose now "ultra" sensitive? Anyone like tis too?
sad.gif
 
Joline, why say you lously? hmm, this friday i m on leave if you are free maybe i can pay you a visit in the noon? ur MIL stay at ur hse?

japepearl, wat to do? we all ku ming can be employees only lor.
 
jazzyjas, no, i didn't call gynae :p if it happens again today i will definitely call. thanks
happy.gif
hey, i know what you mean, i sometimes will have discharge flow when i sneeze or cough. scary! when i sneeze, i tend to get this sharp pain at the pelvic area. so these days i try to control my sneezes.

i sneeze everyday but not so many times, usually just in the morning. night time usually just throat dry and itchy. i wonder if you can try inhaling anything that will soothe the nose? can try checking wif GP or gynae?
 
When I had my no.1, no morning sickness at all, and it was a boy, this time round, I felt so bloated the WHOLE day, plus nausea. I'm trying my best not to puke out, cos' I didn't the smell and feeling. Hoping that all of us enter 2nd trimester, NO MORE morning sickness!

BTW, has all of you starting to wear maternity clothes? I can't really fit into my normal clothings anymore and maternity clothes seems too to big for me yet, the troublesome stage.

Angeline and Sunshine,
I sure hope my no.2 to be born on 25th July - a full term baby! Yeah! (Cos' my no.1 just decided to pop out when he was only 33 weeks old)
 
Laura,

Same symptom I have lei. my No.1, nothing at all, beautiful skin, radiant mummy, and came out a little rascal boy. And now, bloated, nausea and hates fish! Let's hope in 2 weeks time, the result will be as we would like. How old is your No.1 now?

Missmoon,

I only experience what you are experiencing now late into my pregnancy. Not so early. I normally drink more water for dry and itchy throat, which of course sacrificed my sleeping time la.

Eeyore,

Don't think what colleagues say is true liao. Last pregnancy, all of them made a bet that I'm having a girl..... which is 12 against 2. I did not give them the gender of my baby until he's born and the 12 ppl really gave me only a bottle of chicken essence when they visit me at hospital..... cos they angry with their own prediction...... Gender of baby really is very individual..... what they predict no longer is accurate anymore. That's what I think.
 
Angeline,
My no.1 just turn 3 years old this month ;) So are you hoping to have a gal this time? Lots of my friends plus colleagues had already told me this time sure to be gal! LOL. Most imptly, I wish for a healthy full-term baby.

Sleep Garfield,
I so shocked to hear about your case. How can this CEO be so heartless? Even if you are not pregnanyt, you are also entitles to get MC lor. Hugs to you.
 
Laura, Angeline,

Mine also quite diff but i think better to wait for the scan to confirm the gender.
However, my appetite drop pretty badly and cant eat much and i keep losing weight.

Angeline,
I got my jumper. I like it very much.

Laura,
I cant fit into some of my clothes and maternity wear is kind of big for me too...

Joline,
pls rest more. Placenta is very impt to the baby. Some of my friends have mature placenta before the baby is due and that make baby stop growing before the full term. Many have to be induced to get the baby out.
 
Angeline,

Try to move less in your office if possible.. must really be extra careful at this stage since we are almost 1/3 of our journey and will be seeing our BB soon.. jia you..

dear,

This Friday me going to follow PIL back for reunion dinner wor.. sat daytime will be going back to my mum's place and come back in the evening.. wait till new year period then we see whether convenient to meet or not.. ur pil coming over to your house or not? Anyway day time we still can call each other and chat lor..

MTBs,

I guess our next scan after CNY most mummies here should know the gender of BB liao hor
happy.gif
. So when is the best time to shop for BB's stuff?? Surely after CNY there will be post new year sale in most shopping centre one..

Oh yeah.. when is the best time to start "tai jiao"? anyone has any good idea to share?
 
hong,

heard that if you'll experience baby's movement early if this is not your 1st pregnancy.

me too can't see the gender of bb cos bb dun wan to co-operate to open legs big big for us to see.. shy lor..

my weight dropped 4 kgs but physically looks like put on weight especially my face become round and tummy come out liao..

me too can't fit into my clothes.. nowadays wear hubby's T-Shirts with maternity pants lor..
 
Joline,
I wore my maternity pant.. cannot tahan the tightness ard my waist.

Actually this one kind of slower, may be i lose too much weigh, may be bb not too big.

But suddenly the baby decided to "crawl" in my tummy to let me feel it.. hahaha...

May be i am really very big in the begining. I lost 4kg and my face turn sharper (used to be very round :p).

I also hope gynae can confirmed the gender on my next visit.

Btw, did gynae tell u how long ur baby is every visit?
 
That's what everyone told me, that you will feel the baby movements must faster if it's your 2nd or more pregnancy. Still waiting to feel something ;P

Not sure when it's the best time to "tai jiao", but we had started to talk/sing to the baby in my tummy liao, in preparing my no.1 for no.2 lor.
 
hong, how does it feel? hmm...wondering when will be my turn to feel it...so excited...

joline, oh friday i taking leave to do some simple cleaning up then nite time meeting my parents for dinner outside...so thought if day time u nothing to do, i can pay you a visit...never mind, juz give me a call when u need someone to talk to...remember rest more...

my appt last sat with gynae also can't see my bb gender have to wait till next appt in feb then see if bb want to open leg or not...hb so eager to know...
 
Laura,
Did u "tai Jiao" when u have ur 1st one? I didnt really do much. So i didnt see much diff. I find very stupid reading aloud alone but this time may be better. Cos can tai Jiao and read to my daughter at the same time.

dear,
is something crawling or druming on my left side of lower tummy. However, most preggie shld feel a feeling like there is a butterfly flapping the wings in ur tummy. very very light but if u keep still shld be able to feel it.
 
Hi Eeyore,
Dun think it's accurate leh...a friend of mine had no MS at all and she still had a healthy boy.

MTBs,
Do you gain weight or lose weight? I've gain about 2.5kg since my MS disappeared..
 
hong,
gynae got give us the scan photo of BB and all the size measurement done and age in weeks are written on the photo.. she got tell us the size of bb and whether it is normal or slow, then she will advise whether we should take vitamins or any further check is required.

Laura,
Me and hubby oni talk to bb before we sleep. Think it's time to practise saying gd morning and gd night to BB so that later when bb popped will know when it's time for bed, keke..

dear,
aiyor, u still do the hse cleaning har? me the most do the laundry using w/m and left the rest to hubby and PIL. They very scared i got bleeding cos that implies spending more $$.. haha..

Wah.. tink very soon we can fill up the table with BB gender liao..

MTBs,
me just eaten 4 dried pitted prunes. After eating then discovered that prunes are rich in Vit A. But I heard ppl mentioned that prune does help in constipation.. can eat or not?
 


Hong,

I thought I'm the only one experiencing the movement.... it's so sudden and drastic... but I dare not confirm it's movement of the baby cos I'm sure my hubby will be ready to pour ice water over me again... dampen my excited spirit.....

You got your jumper already.... I so envy... I'm still waiting for mine sent for alteration....

Laura,

How come you took so long to have another one? Why make it 3 yrs age difference? I always wanted to have 2 at a very close age gap.... though this pregnancy caught me by surprise.

Joline,

I will try to move less at work.... that's why now I don't really go for lunch with my colleagues as they like to walk far far away just to have a plate of chicken rice.
