Vommited on the way back after seeing gynae.

 

[chersam]

totoro,
Transfer done under Reference 2441800771

mummies, wanna to seek ur advice. cherie bit a boy's hand last Thur, then next day become an orh-che (terrible gal right?!). As we din get to meet into the boy's parents, so only passed msg to teacher to apologise on our behalf. then my hb said like not sincere, he suggested to buy a small gift for the little boy as our apology. i was like huh?! will it too kua zhang or not?

 

[chersam]

twinkle stars,
guai guai stay in bed for the week hor. take care!

 

[ecookie]

twinkle_stars: oh dear. pls guai guai bed rest as ur gynar advised.. hope u will feel better soon.

 

[ecookie]

chersam: tt time yz also snatch toy with another toddler, then the girl let go of the toy and fell backwards and hit her head then got a baluku.

i also didnt get to see her parents but asked the parents to apologise on our behalf.. i didnt get anything for the gal ..

 

[tiffanykoong]

twinkle stars,
i am fine. u take care too. rest more okie.

 

[marukolim]

eunice, I cant agree more...

chersam, very common for them to bite ard n hav bruises. Travis often kena bitten also but dun hear any apologies from the parents at all. For me, it doesn't matter if the parents apologise or not since its not a BIG prob coz the bruise will b gone in no time. Plus, they r at their PRIME(active) time to get hurt so shld b more forgiving instead of blamin the parents or teachers.

 

[eunice_sng71]

Twinkle stars : Pls take care and bed rest

Chersam : too kuai zhang liao. I tink if you happened to meet the parents, apologise will do. No need gift.

 

[marukolim]

twinkle stars, oh dear...do hav a gd rest n guai guai stay in bed hor...

 

[chersam]

ecookie & maruko,
ok, at least i fang xin to "get away" with an apology =p

eunice,
ya lar, i also find giving gift too much liao lar.

 

[marukolim]

chersam, ya lor...too extreme to give a gift. If all parents like dat den i will hav a mountain of gifts liao...hehehehe...

 

[cherie_bear]

chersam:
since u alrdy ask the teacher to apologise on behalf,i think it's gd enough.

Few wks ago,shanice got 3 cuts above her eyebrow cause by a gal trip & fell on her. The gal has angklet on & hence the cut. Lucky din hurt her eyes.Was so heartpain when teacher call to inform.

twinkle star:
do take care & hv entire bed rest. Hope ur 1st trimester will pass soon & u can enjoy ur pregnancy journey.

 

[kuririn]

<font face="comic sans ms">Hello mummies..

just sent my maid home this morning.. praying hard that she will come back as promised..

junnie:
Clarisse's birthday is on 10 Oct.. daddy's reservist ends on 9 Oct.. her daddy said should reach SG on 8 Oct loh.. both families include maid got 16 adults and 2 children loh.. will see how loh..

hippo:
oh my Adri is so cute and so good in talking.. my Clarisse, she blabbers alot but none of us could understand her.. only she understand herself.. sigh.. duno when can she talk properly..</font>

 

[hippo18]

twinklestars, pls take good care of urself &amp; rest rest rest! dun get too worried and i'll be praying for u!

chersam, maybe a written note instead of an apology thru the teacher? a gift isd too kua zhang la.. kids are kids.. accidents r bound to happen. a small note will be nice &amp; sincere enuf!

ecookie, if can cut short the loan by dumping in more CPF at one go, go ahead! =)

eunice, me too! i will be finishing the loan in 1.5 years time but haha! i m intending to sell the house so... keke

 

[hippo18]

san, adri blabbers too! blabbering is a good way to start already! most of the time my hb dun understand her.. hahaha!!!
hope ur party goes well! any alternative location found yet?

 

[eunice_sng71]

hippo : me still tinking if moving out of Punggol if I complete my loan. Unless here really really no sch

 

[ariajo]

ecookie,
dun envy me! me long long way to clear the loan cos we bought EA after we sold our 5 room ( wanted a bigger space to anticipate no.2 and maid) and we took 15 years loan hor.. long long way to go.. dun think can earn from this EA.. more for staying long term..condo dun think we can afford unless strike toto 1st prize..hahaha...

twinkle star,
still spotting? pls rest well.dusphaton can make you nausea because it's the same pregnancy hormon that make us feel lousy..

chersam,
so gungho of cherie! it's better to bully rather than to be bulied??hehe.. i'm so bad.. i'm afraid my aria is the being bullied type.. i think buy gift a bit kwajang lah..what abt writing a small apology note and pass to the teacher to pass to the boy's parent?

 

[hippo18]

eunice, so u also thinking of moving? =)

aria, dun like dat say.. u tink EA very easy to "feed" meh.. imagine all the S&amp;C and parking &amp; lesser rebates for electriciy &amp; stuff.. all adds up to alot leh.. silly! as it is, the place is big enuf liao lor!

 

[ariajo]

hippo,
yaloh, EA not easy to "feed".. it's like back to square one after we sold our 5rm..our 5rm also took 15 years loan..sometimes i wonder should we have taken the 20/25 years loan??haha.. but 20 years loan, the interest very high, also bo hua..10 years loan, no money to service..haha.. 15 years is really the max we can afford.. cannot imagine getting a condo...every day eat maggie mee liao..hehe..

 

[hippo18]

aria, can one la.. i tell u. u "feed" for a few years 1st. then when the balance in ur ordinary a/c grows, go to hdb and "dump" the balance into the loan and hv them recalculate! will reduce the interest...

 

[ariajo]

hippo,
i have access lah but dun wanna wipe out the savings in ordinary account in case, choi choi kena retrench, then this money can help to sustain for a good few months before i get another job? hubby was out of jobs for a while and luckily his cpf can sustain for a while also. so we think it's good we have so allowance in the ordinary account lah..

 

[chersam]

cherie bear,
so heartpain to learn the cuts on shanice's forehead, 3 cuts somemore.

hippo,
ur written note idea is good!

aria jo,
i like ur thinking - better to bully than to be bullied! LOL

k, i got to go liao. today exceptional case tat i can go off early cos my mum attending a lunar 7th mth dinner so got to rush back look after cherie

 

[totoro_bb]

just got my medical report and everything is fine except that I'm overweight!!! hee hee must learn from the slim slim mummy here liao!!

Doobom, hippo and Junnie

lantern festival ah? tink Travis will b rather tired from playin whole mornin &amp; afternoon. dunno if he can still tahan till carry the lantern at 6pm. Perhaps we can arrange on the followin wkend sat/sun instead?

 

[jovialz]

Twinkle Star,
Take care ok ? Have a good rest, try not to tired out. Had not been seeing your online lately, guess busy at work ? BTW, how's Garina's rashes ? Still have the problem?

ECookie,
Manage to clear I guess because HDB made us wait for 4 yrs before I can get my flat + bought direct from HDB ? So got chance for the CPF to build up initially

. Although we'd managed to clear after staying for 7yrs, felt should have left some $ in CPF and not clearing every single cent from CPF whenever bonus comes in, thus end up 1 -2 yrs back, although property price low also risky to buy.

More designs than the online shop, For ladies, not much size 5 - 6, for kids not much size 8/9 or 10/11. Other size quite a lot and seems like they have new stocks come in now and then. I got a Lena @ $25 and hubby bought for me a celeste Suede @ $48. Saw other designs like mary janes for kids, Sassari, kids cayman, men's profession and athen etc.

morning mummies!!!

totoro, glad everything's fine with ur health!!! phew! dieting? eh! since everything's great now, try for ur little one.. hahahaha! then talk abt dieting!

doobom, haha! coolest hairstyle? wait till u see me at the bash leh.. my hair is a disaster now.. am waiting for it to grow out in order to get a bob. hahaha! (incidentally, i always say 'jessie' &amp; my hb goes 'jessie who?' and i will add 'my pretty mummy lah!'.. ha! now u r known to him as 'pretty mummy' cos i dun bother with him on the names liao le.. hahahhaa!)
adri with her rhyme? hurhurhur.. super lao hong man! i wonder if it has anything to do with her "ba gei".. oops!
anyway did u perm ur hair eventually? i tink the curls suits u lots!

 

[jovialz]

Doobom,
I think the curls suit you too ! If I don't remember wrong, you had curls during the coffee club gathering right ?

 

[jovialz]

Anyone got a Volo to let go ? Looking for a 2nd hand one.

 

[doobom]

hippo,
Hehe... Oops, Who's Jessie? Hmm...
I din manage to go for my hair appt. coz I was too busy during the weekends. Maybe if time allows, will go this sat.
Some of my friends were saying that I look old and auntie with the curls though hb loves the curls too.

 

[doobom]

Jovialz,
Yup, I got the curls during CC gathering. But if I dun manage it properly, I look exactly like a LION QUEEN. keke...

 

[jovialz]

Doobom,
Your friend must be those who is not suitable for curls, sour grapes

. But it's true curls needs 'management'.

 

[zhen_zhen]

Morning mummies!

Ariajo, i think its hard for the kids to differentiate the monkeys. The only one that Hannah can tell apart is gorilla, cos they really look quite different.

Re: lunch in town
Will have to give lunch a miss this week. My cough has worsened and Im on antibiotics now. Havent had a good nights rest for the past 4 days, cos I keep waking up to cough. Will join you all when I feel better.

Tiffy, just bring some clippies along lah. If really get lost, you have excuse to make/buy more! Haha...

Hippo, adri is so cooperative! The minute i take out my video cam, Hannah just zips up. Havent been able to take her singing or talking. Sigh...

Twinkle star, please take care and rest more ok! Must really take care of yourself, esp first few months.
