[cherie_bear]

re:lunch
it was great meeting up with u ladies.

maruko:haha...Javen is being cheeky U see how naughty he is when he stands on the high chair. Lucky today he is still manageable. Most of the times when we were out,hubby surrender. Said dun wanna bring him out cos he's hard to handle.

tiffany:forget to ask u,u taking morn flight or nite flight to Brisbane.

 

[tiffany_seah]

Cheriebear,
Javen seems quite ok too... Boys being boys lor... can be rather active.

My flight to Brisbane is Morning about 10plus and arrive SG abt 11pm... Confirm they wont sleep on the plane!!

 

[tiffany_seah]

Hmm tomorrow going for my GD test and I think I have too much sugar so far!! Opps!! Finished the whole cup of sticky chewy ice cream sundae just now!! I think I better drown myself with lots of plain water later!! hee hee

 

[cherie_bear]

tiffany:IC. Yes,planning to go Goldcoast & brisbane. I'm looking at either 16 or 17 Apr & returning either 21 or 22 Apr.

 

[marukolim]

cherie bear, haha...he quite ok lah. Last time travis will b shoutin & screamin away at dining table lor...so it's either me or hb gotta carry him walk ard while the other eats quickly. -_-

totoro, wah...sticky chewy ice cream sundae!!! I'm drooling...wat is GD test? Glucose test ah?

 

[junniezz]

[cherie_bear]

maruko:think mayb he see so many pretty aunties,that's y he ok. Otherwise whenever we dine out,either 1 of us oso gotta carry him away while the other eats.

junnie:ya,planning to go with mil & both kids. Am thinking between HK & Goldcoast. But hb not keen on HK. So left w Goldcoast. We gotta chk out how much 1st then decide.

re:iphone
u are under which mobile provider? Think M1 & SingTel do hv stocks. Mayb u call & ask them to chk which outlet has stock. I juz got mine last mth frm M1 & only certain outlets has stock. As for SingTel,sometimes I passby their shop at Nex, I saw them put iphone available.

 

[sypt19]

Hi Mummies ... am back home and head pain again .. .asked her to wash chicken wings for me and put in the refg can liao she went to keep back into the freezer!!! how to cook????

Cannot tahan so scolded her and tell her to work hard and remember things if not write down dun keep thinking of HP ... (^(*&#%$*%#@$@&#$_^#@(*&$^@#*&%^

 

[zhen_zhen]

hi mummies!

was great catching up with my lovely lunch kakis today. bonus is that i could come out kid-free today. yay!!

maruko, oops! hope we didn't get you into trouble. but really today, yak until shiok! cm and i still go and have tea and yak some more. hahaha...

tiffy, actually i think that my kids enjoyed perth more than melbourne. but perth need to rent a car to get around. melbourne only need to rent a car if you're going outside the city.

 

[tiffany_seah]

Good Morning Mummies!

I am early today..

Cheriebear,
Ohh, our timing missed by 1-2wks. Goldcoast seemed to be popular among family and children, also have 2 other friends going in April too. April weather is also cool and nice. Understand why your hb not keen on HK, Goldcoast is defintely much more fun than HK. My only concern now is the situation of the aftermath of flood and cyclone. I had another friend who went end of Jan to Brisbane/ farmstay, she said where she went was not affected and it went on smoothly. Hope the situation there will be settled and tourist start pouring in again

I started to show Lucas some brouchers of Movieworld, Dreamworld etc, he is getting excited already!!

zhenzhen & CM
WOW, both of you can still go on yakking... So envy.. will definitely join if not becos I had to go back office!! Indeed a nice catchup lunch yesterday. 2hours seemed too short!!!

CM,
Aiyoh..... your maid is indeed brainless!!! These ppl really dont understand the rationale what we are doing, do things without thinking ahead. Dono still never ask!!!
Just this morning, my maid requested if she can take back her DVD player & DVDs from the agent, as when she arrived here, she had these belongings with her and her trainer kept it for her. When I said, ok, I will talk to agent 1st, then she quickly said she also wants to take back her HP... immediately I rebute her by saying, DVD still ok, but HP - NO!!! Not now, as she is only 1mths plus with me. She needs to stablise 1st and talk about this few months down, at least until she finishes her loan. This is the 2nd time she asked to take back her HP from the trainer. She said she havent earned much money yet, and wont have alot of money to talk so much on the phone, so I told her, its not about got money no money... its house rule!! I gave her a IDD phone card after her 1st mth with me, to let her call home already. I know she wants her HP to contact friends or cousins working in Spore!!! I will give her back her ownership, just that she needs to prove her performance 1st. Only 1 mths plus, already asking for HP, unless she is a super performer maid, then I will give!!

 

[marukolim]

Gd morning mummies...

junnie, haha...when I told him caught in rain he turned to look at window but only drizzlin at office. anyway he close 1 eye most of the time lah. hahaha...
re: iphone4 stocks
Most limit the number of sets they sell each day. So normally u will c a queue even b4 the store is open for SingTel. My hb also plannin to get a iphone 4 this wkend when his contract ends. hahaha...

cherie bear, wah...c pretty aunties ah? haha...me totally buay tahan when he put his hand lie on my tummy. So adoring...

CM, seriously I tink she got problems understandin english. It will b an issue when she always do the exact wrong things. Like tiffany said, mayb u shld interview the maid b4 selectin them.

zhen zhen, no worries...me now status is 孕妇最大...hahaha... wow...u still go tea wif CM ah? so shiok...wait till me havin maternity. Confirm will join u mummies for lunch den yak non-stop. hahaha...

Tiffany, maids always 得寸进尺 one...dats wat I felt after my experience wif my ex-maid. Me also too soft-hearted lah. Always givin into her requests, thus leadin to her turnin bad. Sigh...

 

[cherie_bear]

morning mummies

tiffany:yah,goldcoast weather is gd during Apr. For me,I'm not sure if Shanice will like it or not cos she's quite timid. She doesn't dare to sit on the carousel & oso scared of mascot. For me,I feel that bringing kids to Disneyland will be a better choice since she knows the characters. For Goldcoast,she only only know Dora, haha....

maruko:hehe...yes,pretty aunties. he's very sweet hor (thick-skinned). Like i told u all,he always call papa & not me. So whenever i ask him to call me,he will open his mouth & kiss me,hehe.. heart melted.

CM: shake head on ur maid,poor u. Hope u can find a new maid soon.

zhenzhen: wow! u still go tea wif CM. I went home after i bought my things. Javen is very restless on the way home. He fell asleep shortly after his milk feed at home & he actually slept for 2.5hrs, haha...

 

[marukolim]

cherie bear, haha...ya lor so sweet. Especially when its the 1st time we met & he oredi "take the 1st move". kekeke...
tink u will prefer him to kiss u den call u mummy rite?

[sypt19]

I also let her call home yesterday night for abt 10mins ... hope she can work better after this ... and guess what ... she very da tan ...she has been using our toothpaste since day 1 ... no wanna i notice that the toothpaste is running out so fast and i ask her yesterday too cos yesterday morning she overslpet so when i was awake she is still holding on to her toothbrush and i dun see any toothpaste

so so so feel like vomitting after that dun dare to tell hb that everytime after she use the toothpaste ... he is the one that is using it ... i think his stomch will cough out from his mouth

 

[cherie_bear]

maruko:haha...yeah..I even manage to capture a pic when he kiss me. He is very sweet &amp; fun to play with but at times,he oso very naughty. Like when he doesn't want to sit stroller,he will struggle himself &amp; yell. So every time gotta get something new to entertain him.

junnie: hope u able to get ur iphone soon. Call M1 to chk out which outlet has stock then u won't have to waste ur trip.

 

[marukolim]

totoro, all the best to ur glucose test!

[marukolim]

cherie bear, yup...so lookin 4ward to my ML liao. hahaha...confirm will hav gd bondings coz no need face issues wif old hag &amp; I can do watever I wan at my mum's place. Oh ya...ask u all hor...did u shower bb during confinement or as they said, not supposed to touch water?

 

[sypt19]

hey mummies ... most likely i will change another agency cos mine dun have any other maid only got phil ... and this is what i dun want all along ...

and now that i want to terminte the service i need to pay for my this &amp;@^#$*&amp;@# maid logging fee of $15per day

so bu yuan yi

i think i need to pay a min of S$ 450

den on top of that i still need to pay the new agency fee exam fee ... insurance etc etc

we r so so so so angry and L L and so so so so so lost of word and "sigh" need to spend so much $$$ On those _(#@&amp;*($_^#@)*&amp;^%@&amp;# MIADSSSSSSSSSS i would rather i lost all the money in other wayssss so sososososssssssssssssooooooooooooooo HEARTPAIN money not worth spending at all but ...

 

[junniezz]

cm.. aiyoo.. so many sad icon fm u... must b really v pissed w ur maid agency &amp; ur si-tu-pig' maid. *hugz* y dun u ask for replacement may b nxt one better than tis one?? same time can save $$ than paying all penalty also 'playing w time' so u pay lesser nearer to contract w agt?? sorry i cant help much on maid issue.. perhaps tiffany/eunice or other mummies can share more..

maruko.. hahaha.. paisay typo error on ur name.. cant edit liao.. ok, later i post 1 more time hor =D

ecookie.. oh dear yz &amp; ur hb also got stomach flu? my hb also leh.. he jus got a jab b4 he flew off to KL on 16th.. he's bk last nite still saying gastric/tummy hurts on/off thou he got no ls/puking.. but he must eat v on time if not the pain will comes.. doc also told him is stomach flu??? ya, hv to b v vigilant on cleanliness at home to avoid kena same.. take care..

[cherie_bear]

maruko: gd gd,u can stay at ur mum's place &amp; no nd to face the old hag. Oh..as for shower bb,mil help me to shower bb,so I din really touch water during confinement except when bathing,washing face &amp; brush teeth using herbs.

CM: y nd to pay logging fee for ur current maid. Though $450 may not seem a lot but it's so not worth it lor. I think it's oso gd that u change the agency since they dun hv indo maids which u want. Hope the new maid u can interview b4 u get her &amp; also she's gd so that u feel ur $$ worth spent.

 

[cherie_bear]

junnie:usually this type of CNY draw,they will schedule another day. So tonite,we all wait anxiously for the results,ok. Today is oso the budget speech. Hope they are able to give more attractive package to the preggies,hehe...
