My agent always say.. one maid which is good for me does not necessary good for another employer.. which I think its very true. My good maid whom I think is good, couldnt work out with her previous employer, which her employer actually sent her home after repayment of loan. I guess if the maid is not happy in a house, she will purposely do things to make the employer not happy and hoping to be transferred out.

On another scenario, I used to take over an indo maid from my cousin, she thinks that maid was good and when I took her over, I dont think so for some aspects. Good in handling children but housework, super duper lazy. Never follow instruction and never clean as told... overslept, always spoil my things... so, overall, I dont quite like her.

 

[tiffany_seah]

Maruko
Yalor... really cannot control ... but lunch, I take light so that I can afford the bubble tea calories... hehe..

CM,
Really wonder how come the maid so nice to carlson.. maybe she really loves young kids bah... my old maid also loves young kids.. she will play and carry my friend's young kids one...
Think your maid though love carlson, but she still need to observe her behaviour and not go over the limit bah... my old will also say she loves my kids when my kids started 1st... always is my kid start say to her I love you aunty then my maid will say back..... that I am ok....

 

[junniezz]

cm..LOL at ur 'hear liao also HOT and feel like vomiting' =D in her eyes oni got carlson?? kekeke.. ok ok, dun angry le.. may b u & carissa 'order' her to do tings so she 'buay song' & turn a deaf ear.. whereas carlson wont... but v unkind of her to 'brain wash' carlson.. jus keep telling carlson u r his mummy & not the 'kakak'.. i also cannot tahan ppl put wet towel on the bed.. aggrrrr!! ya, is more painful w tiny cuts... apply some anticeptic cream & wrap up w plaster to minimize contact w the wound.. *sayang*..

maruko.. hahaha.. wrap T up like mummy?? but his cc is good lah, at least aft u infmd them, they'll help to apply the lotion & put on legging for him. some cc jus cudnt b bothered.. may b the old folks at home scare the candle will caught 'fire' =D some even worst.. on aircon/fan/pc oni will 'nag' & 'nag' waste of $$.. but sometimes is really necessary lor =(

doobom.. cant resist joining cny gathering.. i hv sent in my leave form, once approved then will put my name in the list hor =)

 

[junniezz]

maruko.. thks 4 asking abt my flu... almost 8899 recover except the sickening phlegm on/off.. u better 'bao zhong' yourself.. cny is coming loh..

tiffany.. LOL at ur bubble milk tea craving =D i almost walked into 'sweet talk' earlier, then 'divert' to medical hall buy liang cha instead =D also to replenish ventolin & cough syrup for both kids.. seems like they hv been tking tis for >a mth.. hiaz..

 

[marukolim]

Tiffany, hahaha...dun drink so much leh. Wait for me

junnie, perhaps cc teachers also heartpain c his skin like dat after kena bitten. They "trained" travis to put on legging himself liao. So when nap time he will auto take his mattress cover den put on legging & turn ON the insect sound repellant himself. Den when wake up will keep all himself also. Gd thing abt the cc is they teach him to b independant rather den adults helpin them all the time. Only thing is applyin lotion at their age still abit difficult so the teacher will put for him after shower lor.
Woohoo...will b anticipatin to c u for our CNY gatherin.

re: cough
me also tryin to "cough" out the phlegm each time but seems so much to b rid of. Sometimes in office also pai seh cough so loud to get it out. hahaha...

 

[tiffany_seah]

Junnie,
Peifu your determination. Always when I think of buying drinks, I will think of fruit juice/ liang teh or bubble tea.. but always lose the battle to bubble tea.. hahahha.... Aiyoh... phelgm.. hate it.. just have to cough for few days and expel the phelgm out, and you will be ok.

My kids too, also having wheezing/ phelgm ... endless for them too

Maruko,
I will still "pei" you drink together one.... aiyoh.. looks like its an everyday drink for me liao.. Opps... better watch my calories...

 

[zhen_zhen]

maruko, i'm using the lucas paw paw cream on deb. seems to help with the healing, but not the itch. does aloe vera help to sooth the itch. i see her scratch until very jialat leh. cut her nails until super short, also can see all the scratch marks. really headache.

 

[zhen_zhen]

tiffany, i'm also very bad at resisting bubble tea. actually, come to think of it, i'm very bad at resisting food in general. my hubby always sees me and shakes his head. cos i love all the fried, spicy and sweet stuff, which are not very healthy.

 

[maisymouse]

Maruko,
Just my theory, mozzie seems to prefer hot blood... If T is wrapped up in leggings ... N his temp is higher than the rest of the kids.. Seems like he will be their target.. Dunno if this holds water.

 

[marukolim]

Tiffany, me not worried u wont pei me. Coz if meetin u tmr den u will b drinkin EVERYDAY this wk liao. hahaha...

zhen zhen, I tried to use lucas ointment for travis b4 but bcoz of the "oilyness", I prefer using aloe vera den at least if he scratches on the wound, his hands wont b oily. Somehow to a certain extent, due to the "coolin texture" of the gel, can let him stop scratchin for awhile. Den when he feels itchy again, I will apply the gel on the wound again & again lor. It helps alot in healin also.

mm, ya me also tink so BUT last time when he didnt wear leggings, he was bitten every wk on each of the legs. At least nowadays after lettin him wear the leggings, the mozzie bites r reduced alot except occasional bites on his arms. Tink recent weather juz made it worse for the mozzies to breed. Dat day I overheard 1 of the teachers tellin another parent dat her daughter got bitten den the parent was commentin "aiyo, 1 bite each day, so ke lian". Den the teacher asked the mother mayb can let the gal put mozzie patch everyday same like travis.

 

[tiffany_seah]

Maruko,
I thought tomorrow you cant make it? Zhenzhen has proposed to meet next week right? Nevermind lor, if plan to drink bubble tea, then I take light lunch

Junnie/MM
Where to find the newspaper article on maid salary increase? I tried finding the papers today, couldnt find lei.. I only heard through radio yesterday evening.

RE: CNY gathering lunch
Isit confirm at 313 Marche? Where is doobom? did she make reservations? its next saturday liao...

 

[junniezz]

tiffany.. i watch 10pm news ytd on channel 8. hahaha.. good dd 'theory'.. eat less for the sake of bubble tea =)

maruko.. then i tink most likely is the ctr environment which is more 'mozzie' friendly.. so far *touch wood*... lance oni kena mozzie bites when outside (like bus-stop, beaches, void deck).. i/o insect repellent.. i apply medicated oil on them + their clothing whenever i can esp they go excursion... hopefully the 'smell' can 'scare' the mozzie/insects away..

btw... where's tis marche 313 huh?? i sure will b 'lost' cos 1st time go 313.. v suay-ku..

 

[marukolim]

Tiffany, tink tmr shld b able to meet u makan. If I cant make it last min, den will buzz u. Let me noe where to meet ok? Dun ask me wat I wanna eat. Hahaha...coz I seldom go there so dunno wat PS hav also.

junnie, me oredi made countless complaints to the principal abt the mozzie bites liao. Apparently, there r "schedules" dat Town Council will arrange to spray the surroundings. Cannot suka suka ask contractor com spray at the drains one. Den she also told me if got alot of bitten cases den can ask town council to spray more often. But if its an isolated case den hard for them to refer also.
Lately when I sleep at nite can hear mozzie buzzin at my ears lor. Damn irritatin. Stay so long liao never encounter b4. So cant really blame the cc when T got bitten there. Hopefully weather will improve & hav less breeding areas for mozzies.

 

[tiffany_seah]

Maruko,
OK, let me know.. zhenzhen/CM & others... want to meet for lunch at Plaza Sing on Thursday??

 

[sypt19]

Re: Holiday
We had a good time and the weather is cool ... but there are times when I need to wear the mask as it's too cold for me and end up my alergic nose keep reacting and non-stop sneezing until I can't do anything!!
But I think really need more time at Disneyland, we spent slightly less than 1.5days there and yet she only managed to do one ride for less than 10 attractions I think. Overall she enjoyed herself and now she pretending she is at HongKong Disneyland everytime she is at home. Taking photos with her soft toy etc ...

Maruko
What's your baby weight now? Mine is 700+g only leh ... am thinking how to gain at least 2kg in 3-4mths time!! Got a scare the day after I came back as I saw fresh blood after going to the toilet. Called my gynae and asked for emergency appt and end up it's piles ulcer or something. I also have this problem during the last pregnancy but the last time for K, somehow she cleared up everything in the begining and now this one just started to react... and hope that it will go away soon!!

Happy Birthday in advance to you and enjoy your iPad!!

Dodo
