Date: A Friday??
Time: 7pm
1. Carol (any day also can provided hb not outstation)
 


linda/pink: for one i oso dun enjoy bar leh... neva so happening b4 bb..now after bb lagi dun feel like it la.. dat's y not super motivated to go. and hb work so hard on weekdays, oni 2 days left with us, wanna spend as much time together as possible too. and yeah.. daytime not so bad.. but night activities no longer the priviledge of mummies leh. jus complaining y they cannot have jus a meal or something... not everyone single n happening ma. =/
 
sq: meat too tough? did u use the method of soaking it in cold water first to disperse it so it doesn't lump together? after dat add some cornflour so it has the goot goot texture. n if ye dun like it too tough.. u dun fry it, jus add it into the stock w the stir fried celery n veg.. then slow cook. like dat the meat dun get too tough. i like to prefry the meat for the fragrant 'chia chia' taste. :p

pink: aiyo.. maybe u can ask ur hb.. if u choose to leave w bb leia, whether he will choose not to have the affair in the first place. :p
 
Hi mommies

Belle
Our colle drove us back.

It's quite nice; u can try it next time.

angel

pinkpink,
your hubby is funny. haha!!

joelle,
some of my single friends also like to meet at night, clubbing or pubs. Haiz ... That's why I was telling SQ, nowadays I don't meet my single/or "w/o kids" friends that often liao. Not too much of a choice.
 
sq: no la..not gao shou... but wanna experiment diff ways oso ma..cos i find minced chicken very tough.. so like to find ways to make it more palatable. maybe u can 'train' her by giving her the meat by itself, not in the same spoonful as the veg... let her chew it n try. sometimes when we gif all together.. they feel the hard chunks they will auto pui out. my pudding pan very small wan.. got fr giant at vivo. jus nice makes 2 slices kind.. heh. can improvise w small casserole pot for others ba. my new house no oven oso. sigh... now i bioing the cheap ones... cannot no place for built in oven... i see autum n star using the cheaper ones n still producing good food i wanna try oso leh... boh lui!!
 
joelle
the cheap ones can be as cheap as $50! go get it. or when your friends wanna give you housewarming gifts, ask for it! mai4 paisei
happy.gif


oh ya hor. siao lah me. v inflexible. ok, i will try with casserole! thanks!

think forum is finally loading at the usual speed
 
Pink,
U mean ur hb emailed/smsed u??

Me and my hb went through these when i was gg thru my insecurity stage. :p

Q1. If i can travel back in time, i will make sure there is not chance of affair.

Q2. If i can travel back in time, i will make sure he gets ALOT of insurance policy with me and the children as the nominated names.
 
irin/sq: ya lo... i oso dun frequent nightspots when young or b4 bb... now ask me to go n come back kiss my bb w alcohol in my breath? :S i jus find it so inconsiderate to organise such gatherings lo.. when i specifically say i wanna bring my bb. then they upset cos i not supportive...
 
Morning mummies..

Joelle : Well.. sorry but i think we , mummies & woman, need to have some space on our own.. go ahead and leave seth with ur hubby.. and go out for a drink.. if u are worried or wat.. at least u can go for 1 hr or so den leave.. like my friends said "I wanna have my life back" wahahaha.. I understand that our kids are our "life" now.. but serious.. need little breathing space..

Pink : ur hubby very funny.. how come suddenly ask such questions?? hahaha..

Joelle.. no need to drink so much mah.. just red wine or something.. just for entertainment too.. anyway.. u can ask for fruit punch.. hahaaha... or mocktails..

RE : Tiff spitting food..

I realise tat recently.. my ger keep spitting her food leh!! be it chicken or pork or fish.. Sigh.. but she eat chicken rice. . u see she is growing her molars.. so she can bite so called "properly" she eats her fishballs.. and other white stuffs.. she drinks her milk.. but she simply refuse to eat meat! how ar ?

for a moment.. i tot she is halal leh!!! cos she dun eat pork..
 
SQ
Ya boy..eat wu-hua-guo also no taste to me now. ha..

Pink
I oso told my hubby the same thing.
If anything happens along our marriage life, Kai remains my custody. He is mine! The house & car will oso be mine
happy.gif


Linda
I vote for yr answer for Q2. Same goes to me!

Re: Nite out
I rather sleep than chiong-ing nowadays.
Sleep is so precious!
 
re: custody of kid
for me, it's VERY obvious. the bb will be mine. cos she only wants me as it is. there is no way she will follow the daddy. period.
 
Joelle,
i saw your oven post.. err, first of all hor, i don't produce good food la.. only Star! hahaah. anyway, i want to tell u, since u are moving to your own hse and will be quite permanent, if space permits, get as big as possible.

I mean, even within the cheapo oven range, there are differences in size.. so u find the biggest one that can fit into your kitchen. Especially since you cook well with an oven, u will regret getting too small. My oven is 23litres I think.. there are some as small as 18litres.. then there are bigger at 26litres or 30litres?
 
oh joelle,
to reply your qn: if i give meat separately, sometimes she will chew. sometimes she won't. ya, i try not to mix with the softer stuff cos she'll be confused as to whether to chew or not
happy.gif
 
linda,
go to the doc for checks loh... hehehe... actually i also dun know how to check. Maybe check thr his clothes and see if got anything unusual??? hahaha... there again, i never go to such extent, cos I always tell my hubby (actually he knows) i also go happening whenever he goes overseas, so he better behave, else i also go look for my own "happiness"....

Pink,
your fren is very brave and decisive.... going thr the abortion and flew back home alone.... This is probably the more rational decision, anyhow it's not easy to execute loh. Wah liao, visit the Pros... hmmm, not very clean leh... my hubby always comment that they are not clean, cos used by many pple.... ;p he rather not hv them.
 
I have no time to catch up with archives liao..

SQ: You really gave me a lot of bags! To the extend I can be generous in using them now. Kekekek.. Now for big items, I can provide 2 bags.
happy.gif
Thanks a lot!

Autum: Sent u sms to say have received the paper stack from joann.com. Brought it to off liao. Will pass to Star. Total is $18.42. shipping for the stack is ard $8.9.

Let me go read a bit of archives first.
 
nana: boh leh... i feel dat this is my life. i dun regret or even wish for life before hb n seth. i m not a night life person so if given a choice, i will rather stay home then go drinking. to me, seth is a piece of attached flesh. not a burden. so i dun need to take time out. sometimes hb n i thought of goin out alone. but we figured we will have our minds full of seth and wat he is doing. and we won't be enjoying out time alone. so we agreed that being with seth is the happiest we can be liao. woahaha... think i m weird.

Pink,
you mean your hubby ask you such hypothetical qns? very unlike of man leh... hehehe...

Linda,
But i like your ans to both qns!! hahaha
 
sq: hee..at least she can eat some meat like dat ma. if seth pui his meat i will feed him the whole piece again. hee... even the pui out meat i feed him. :p

autum: wah.. so many sizes to choose fr? aiyo my kitchen limited space. maybe can put in service balcony. :p so where do u put ur oven? on open top? thanks! will look out for bigger ovens.
 
Star: No prob. I have brought along your stuff, together with Autum's and Mejo's.

Linda: Actually anna has grown very close to the new maid! The new maid gives in to her for everything. And that's a problem to me. Now she needs to be coaxed to sleep and will cry if we leave the room. I let her CIO last nite and felt bad after that. Wondering if I shd or not.. *sigh* Very tough when there is a change in caregiver lah.

QQ: I also feel bad for changing anna's caregiver. But we have no choice lah. Let's tell ourselves we want the best for the child and make the best of arrangements we can.
happy.gif
 
mickey,
i didn't receive any sms from u.. anyway, the paper stack very expensive! not worth the money leh.. hahaha.. how many pieces of paper are there in there? i can't remember which stack liao. keke.
 
Star,
Kekeke... I was wondering why it seem so long a walk for me last time. If LPS was a 5mins walk away, I would be there every other night bac at the old office. LOL.

Eh, u have a gym right at ur doorstep lei, can go exercise!
happy.gif


Joelle, pink, SQ,
I am a ah lian, so nightlife is a MUST for me even at this OLD age. I have a grp of kakis who are single/married/SAHM/FTWM and we meet up every other week or at least once a month for dinner and drinks. Its our ladies night out while our hb attend to the kids.
happy.gif


Pink,

joelle
autum is right. since you cook, you should buy a decent one.
for someone who only uses the microwave to heat up food, i'm really wasteful to get a top of the range one. every am, i walk to the kitchen and sees it mocking at me
 
Autum: 72 pieces I think.. It's the retro stack.. You said you like it v much. Is it ex? I also ordered leh. And I ordered a few diff stacks..
happy.gif
 
Joelle,
i put my oven on my kitchen counter lor. I had to throw away my old oven-toaster to make space for the oven. If u have service balcony, can put there.. as long as protect from rain. U can buy those metal trolley and put your oven on top.. but must measure carefully.. cos quite hard to find one that can fit the size of the oven.
 
autum
my oven not spoilt lah. think i dunno how to use. it's a top of the range sharp oven. but my hubby was telling me i should just get an idiotic small one. i set it to 180 degrees and bake muffins for the recommended time but still dun get it. so i blame it on the oven. not me. see? dumb

mickey
aiyo, go steady on the bags lah. you need to ration. give the nice bags to your good customers. the bad ones, give them the lao-ya ntuc ones! *siam, dun-say-i-say-wan*
 
Mickey,
oh, 72pcs ah.. then should be ok (not considered exp).. but i must look at the paper first before i can make judgement.. hee.. ok la.. whatever the case.. buy liao.. then use!

SQ,
u didn't answer my qn leh.. why are u buying oven 'again'?
 
LOL.... when we discussed abt the children custody, it was like, I take the gal (now gals) and u take the boy. And if either of us passed away earlier and the other remarried, lavonne goes to my mum. Lucius goes to his mum while letticia stays with the living spouse.

Somehow, the boy goes back to daddy coz of the need to have a son to carry on the name. Not that they dun wan the gals but in the event that we need to 'distribute' the kids, lucius diedie must follow the papa or paternal grandparents.
 
SQ,
oops.. just saw your post, we posted at the same time.. huh, u got exp oven, and u still want to buy cheapo oven.. siao ah? give me your exp oven la.. we exchange! :p

aiya, u go read the manual again la.. sometimes the settings not zun one.. like Pax's recipe say set to 160 degrees, but for my oven, i can't set to that.. i set to 190 degree.. so must trial and error a few times..
 
autum: trolley is a cool idea..ha! then my oven will look industrial! :p i dun have the luxury of a big countertop... sigh.

sq: hee..wat microwave r u using? it has oven incorporated in it? hee..i oso use micro for heating n thawing oni.. n the occasional scambled eggs!

linda: aiyo... not ah lian la u.. jus like to party. i like to stay out late when i was young.. but i dun like pubs n such.. too noisy.. i dun mind wine bars. but have stopped drinking after marriage n esp so after seth. but mainly cos i m lazy ba.. hee.. like angel..got time i rather sleep! :p
 
SQ: All your bags are nice leh. I see lots of the designer brands.. My maid commented you must shop a lot! Kekeke..
happy.gif
I usually pick the paper bag according to the size of the loot. For the SB stuff, becos a lot order paper stacks, I need to use the bigger bags. You know, before you gave me these bags, some of the mums got to use boxes! I mean, the boxes the courier used to send the items to me. It's really funny. Hahahha...

Autum: The quality of the paper is not the thin thin kind, I'll consider them good. For such stacks, I feel it's the pattern that you must like, cos in a stack, surely there are some we don't really like. But if on the whole we like, then considered passable.
happy.gif
Cost shd still be cheaper than Sing lah. I saw similar 12x12 DCWV stacks in MWL, at least $40 over bucks!
 
autum/sq: hahahah! i was oso thinking in the line of buying over sq's oven!!! woahaha..then let her go get her cheap oven! heh... sq..now everyone's eying ur oven... u sure u dowan to gif it a second chance? ;)
 
autum
i do hear that the oven settings varies from oven to oven. aiyo, if i try a few times, who eats the spoilt stuff?

linda
wa, now must have three kids to split the way you do man
happy.gif


joelle
i dunno how to use oven for scrambled egg. mine is the sharp one. when i got it last time, it was one of the most ex ones. it can do EVERYthing. i siao lah.

you are a homely person. your hubby is lucky to have you

Mist,
wahahahaa... ur hb is forewarned. :p

Joelle,
Get those oven with stove ontop kind lorz (Dunno wad it is called). I am using dat and the oven can fit 2 chicken or 1 turkey. Very good for REAL chefs. Mine is super underused. I use it to toast bread. LOL....

Joelle,
U are not weird. Everyone thinks differently. I have a pair of good frens who have been together for at least 15 yrs. But they refused to get married. The reasoning? "We do not want children, so no need to get married."
Even when we all go out as a group to tour and I genuinely can see that they enjoy children, they still insist that they do not want them. I do not find them weird.
happy.gif


bbgal,
Well, if ur old maid returns, Anna will revert to her old ways. Kids are smart and they know how to react with different adults. hohohoho...
 
mickey
that's why i sayang to throw them away lah. my hubby asked me how come i kept the whole cabinet full of bags. i said it wasn't intentional. i just put them there, and then the whole thing full! glad you can put them to good use.

your maid must really peng san from carrying them all!
happy.gif


joelle
ok ok, i'll use it again. aiyo... i was deliberating between baking muffins again. but then since i dun wanna eat so much muffins, i just let it sit there unutilised
happy.gif
 
hahhaha
Linda
you are not answering the questions!

1) you said you will make sure there is no chance of affairs = you will still marry him?

2) buy a lot of insurance = you will still marry him?

beats me? he suddenly asked me these questions few nites back..
aiya long time back he also asked me, leia so cute, if i have a choice again, will i marry another man? funny lah him.

My answers to him (eh..i shouldnt have answer him cos after that he said his answers will be the same as mine)
1. No, i will not marry him if i know he will have an affair down the road. he asked, then i wont be able to have Leia. I answered, then I will have another baby. am i mean?

2. No, I will not marry him if I know he will pass away at young age because Leia will not have a prefect family.
 
linda
my mum has your oven! and you know what she uses it for?! to store plastic bags!! wahaha.... she's never used that oven function, only the stove. wahaha...
 
SQ: u can invite us all to ur place, then u try bake muffins & we 'try' to eat them for u. so u can try out ur oven liao
 


bbgal,
I agree with u on this " Let's tell ourselves we want the best for the child and make the best of arrangements we can."
I went ahead with a maid when lucius was 2 months old and everyone was telling me how horrid a maid can treat the kids. But, they cant offer any help at all. So, wad choice do i have but to go with the one dat is the best solution at dat point of time.
happy.gif


Joelle,
Its not the party or the drinks dat is the attraction. Its the time away from the kids and juz afew gossipy women sitting ard gossiping abt office, hb, gf, bf, MIL!! LOL.... It keeps us together and sane.
happy.gif


SQ,
Actually, 2 was easier. 50% each. Odd nos makes things tricky. Thus, #4 is in the plan. :p
