good news for AIG/AIA policyholders?

US Federal Reserve is extending a US$85 billion loan in exchange for 79.9% stake in the company

 

[jessesmom]

michele,
not good for the taxpayers there though...

 

[absolut_vodka]

they claim that its not from the taxpayers money!

supposedly they will be printing more money to inject into the US economy which is bad for the US$!!

 

[meddy]

Ya , they claim its not the taxpayers money..but alot of their citizens quite unhappy over the loan though..

 

[jessesmom]

it's a good thing I don't have much USD left. haha

Oh well...

*sigh* now have to look for insurance for my 16yo baby...current insurer don't want to insure her anymore...she's too old.

[caicai]

Enjoy ur gathering today , hv fun . muz post pics hor ....

 

[peanutbutter]

mummies who are arriving at 2pm,
can just go in directly to the bazaar and look for a seat at the toddler eating area that's suitable for 15 of us. since it's marche style, we don't have to wait for everyone to arrive at the door before going in. best scenario later is that ALL the toddlers take their afternoon nap at the same time, and all the mummies can eat peacefully, hahaa. sounds quite wishful on my part.

michellek,
no prob, i'll take the set then. can't remember what size i ordered from you. by the way, how much do i owe you? i try to see if i can bring exact change later.

 

[kimsamsoon]

michk,

[michellek]

kss,

well, i shd b able to reach b4 2pm.. and go shop awhile, have to use my voucher..

min, i did not eat crab leh but ashton also very fast hand fast leg to grab anything he can reach when i bring him to NTUC.

my boy's is the Bedok Reservoir star liao.. anywhere he goes, sure got pple recognise him, thanks to FIL lolzzzz. so when he do something wrong, i'm sure informed if i bring him out to jalan at bedok reservoir area... sigh, no face

 

[michellek]

[kimsamsoon]

michk,

how much i nid to pay?

 

[peanutbutter]

michk,
i dun have an IB acct, that's why pay by cash more convenient. i dun even own a credit card!

 

[caicai]

jmon u first time out wif ashton ? wow ...
i didnt go out wif my sonny alone , before . NEVER yet . no guts

 

[dlim]

Agreed with caicai, I will not go out alone with my son too. I know I will not able to handle him alone!

 

[kimsamsoon]

s/w,
u must be cash rich. :-D

 

[jmonster]

caicai,
ya today's the 1st time i m out with him ALONE. some more to shopping mall not neighbourhood shop. i try lor.. think i can handle just tat his temper very bad. he wants something and he cant get it, he will SCREAM.

but sometimes i bo chap and let him scream...

 

[michellek]

kss,
if u stay at simei, you wanna collect fm savanah, that is at simei. can drop them at my frends's place. then you anytime can collect fm there ?
she is a SAHM

 

[jessesmom]

s/w,
but the privileges that come with credit cards...just make sure you pay in full every month and it's really a good thing to have. Even gives you itemised billing of your spending for the month!

I'll see you mummies later, but we'll most probably be around 2:30pm. Eh, S/w, my boy doesn't take afternoon nap so...*poof* there goes your dream. haha. It would be nice to eat in peace though...

Should plan another evening out w/o babes...then can really eat.in.peace.

 

[kimsamsoon]

[michellek]

min,
thot i packed everting liao. then this morning i re-chked, realised forgotten urs. kekeke

 

[jmonster]

mummies,
shd i bring pram later?

 

[jessesmom]

Don't know if you've been to the restaurant, but I find the play area and areas around it quite cold. So bring something or dress yourself and your child accordingly...I usually have a jacket in the bag for J anyway.

 

[peanutbutter]

kss,
not extremely cash strapped lah. a lot of my income goes towards financing the house. just thought that we wanted to pay off the loan asap.

agent d,
i'm actually neutral towards getting a card like the OCBC robinsons card or a UOB ladies card or something along those lines. so that i can get benefits like rebates and discounts when i shop and eat. won't mind signing up at a booth when the banks get roadshows and stuff, but won't go and print out the forms and send them in on my own. so far, no one has ever approached me at roadshows ... hence never got ard to owning a card.

 

[michellek]

sandwich,
actually, at the end of the year you can do a lump sum pmt to pay off some of your loan.

jmons,
if Ashton can sit in the pram, why not ?
coz if he nap later can put him there mah, then can go shopping while he nap

 

[jmonster]

michk,
but i m not driving leh..

and i hv my bag, his bag and a pram to bring.. sian... macam like garang guni

 

[michellek]

sandwich,
shld get a card, easy then no need keep Q to withdraw $$ fm ATM. my house ATM always long Q.
detest gg there at end and beginning of the mth

 

[michellek]

jmons,
your bag hang on the back of the stroller. wahahaha.... you like having a car hor !

 

[jessesmom]

s/w
hmmm...say we already signed up for loan with hbd for 30yrs, can we pay it up sooner w/o penalty?

you look too young Uni school girl where got income to have credit card?

but yup, I love credit cards for the perks and convenience.
