mickeymouse,
I alway envy those people who are daddy's gals. I was never one. I used to crack a joke about my relationship with my parents. My dad hates me for causing him to lose his freedom, my mum loves me cos I "caused" her to have a happy family early. Yes, I was a shotgun baby.

pink,
just reading abt ur maid issue, thot i can just give a different pt of view. i lived with a french family for 1 month in france abt 3 yrs ago. at that time i could barely speak or understand. it was a very trying experience as i had to live with total strangers in a foreign country and try to adapt to a different lifestyle/routine that i was familiar with. i'm the more 'humanitarian' kind when it comes to maids and my view is that when judging their behavior, we understand that they come from a different background from us and that they are also trying to adapt.
one way that works well for me is to be very very specific in my instructions, as my maid's idea of 'hygiene' is very different from mine. i had to explain to her what was 'bacteria' and 'virus' etc, and now she understands and knows the reason why i insist to sterilise bottles after every feed etc. i think for example, you ask her to bath leia, demo once to her and then observe once she doing it on her own. for the sleeping, maybe she really tired because she cannot sleep at night? also conflicting instructions are very hard to handle. explain to her who she shld take instructions to at which part of the day etc. the bottom line is be firm with your requests, but treat them also like a friend, and they will return ur kindness to ur children.
but of course, i am also aware that there are the really 'hiao' types who come to sg hoping to marry a local. use ur discretion lo. u are the one living with her so only u can tell. dont compare her with marisa, but give her a 'trial' period. if after this period she really cannot meet your standard then u can think abt looking for another one.
angel,
haha, ur stories of ur MIL really funny. made me feel much better. i was following the news to the china earthquake and everytime i see the videos, they just make me cry.
qq,
ya. thanks for organising this trip. u are very 'onz' leh.

I dun think she gave Kai coke but suspect outside food. Aiya, i wont listen to her one. I juz hope she can quickly go back to shanghai for long holidays. Dun come n disturb our family life.

hello
1st of all.. a bit paiseh for today. cause
EDDE, i really humbin last night. i couldn't sleep from 1-4am. then i slept from 11-12, then 4-7am. jialat
Then today, a bit out of control cause too many mummies and many last min thingy too. So, without much brain power due to lacking of sleep, i concast liao. giolyn not yet came then we went in liao so super stress sia. heng i told the ticket person that my entry permits 8 pax but i have oni 5 at the moment.
reasons for being so stress:
1. many hbs there... aiyo. cause they are the most impatient one. some of them might be wondering why these mummies so wuliao then weather so hot and go birdpark and suffer?
2. many of us reached earlier than 9.30am, heng almost everyone came by 10am,otherwise i also dunno if we can go in first.
3. our group is really big....
but then we realised the birdpark is very de small. haha!
4. tian missed her morning nap, super cranky initially.
Overall, tian enjoyed, cause she was recharged after lunch. i asked her papa, his answers to all my questions.
"- enjoy, tian enjoy then i enjoy
- but my legs feel like going to break
- siong.. go up slope and downslope with her, cause she dun want to sit in stroller.
- still enjoy.
very de happie!!"
I realised those who stayed after lunch all either without hb today, OR with some of us with hb who like to bring bb around (or very confident with bb). am I right???????
ladysol, i find your hb super funny. haha!! and friendly too. at first we thought he is a staff jaga the owl display darkroom. haha!
jaxe. was looking for your phone no, cause the paper was thrown by either tian or hb. cannot find your number. knew from carol and michelle that u followed yvonne's car, good..
jos is a good gal, behave so well.
and u are so pretty, and CAPABLE too. steady.
Angel you know why you hb kept reminding u? cause i told him i wanted to go home with him. haha!!!! he scared. haha!kidding.
he told me to wait for 5 min, cause u all need to go souvenior shop, but i kancheong heard him leaving then quick qucik get my carkey and pressure him. haha!
bbmouse. din catch up archive yet.
your hormone come out again. must be.
you have nothing to lose. if you dun feel ok after trying out to be a SAHM mum? can chong chu jiang hu again! why worry something that is so uncertain now? no need la. now concentrate to play with bbmouse and anna is more important.

Angel: No lah. I don't mean to bring that up now cos it's already in the pass. But it's the overall attitude you all have towards her. Don't havet o hide her weakness from her. Let her son be the messenger to inform her of her shortcomings. This way, life will be easier on everyone..
i almost din support the photo taking cause someone came ask me, my answer was: how? so messy? no need to take la.
u know who told me must take???
I CANNOT remember. a few ppl supprorted. and one of them was ladysol's hb.
and he was so funny. when J bio keira in the photo, he shouted "Wa your girlfrne ah?"

mickeymouse,
sorry to remind you of your dad. I know how you feel, I always think of the same things about my grandfather too. Was very close to him ...

Irinl It's ok.. I think of him once in a while. It's fond memories..
Angel: Yi He Wei Gui is definitely a must. Don't have to antagonise her but also no need to hide the truth from her. Else, she will continue to live in her own coo-coo land.. It's actually a sad thing for her..
