some photos i took today. love it
alien,
u r going to conduct a class? What is it about?
jeelo,
Just go with your heart but whenever poss, expose your bb to everything (not too crowded place, of cos, to avoid HFMD/ diseases), anything. From pointing out the different kitchen appliances, to making music with your cup n spoon and counting with fingers.. Eventually when u see bb more interested in one particular area, say music, can expose him/her more in piano, singing, ballet to zoom in n develop from there. I personally love piano but miss that out from young cos not exposed to it.. Can only enjoy seeing others playing.
If my girl likes piano, I can learn with her next time! 1 stone kills 2 birds.. hehe.
Linda, gathering for all?

Hi ladies,
was kinda scared off the internet last wkend. got a call from UOB fraud dept on saturday night asking if I had made some transaction totally USD240+. The entire day I didnt use my cc, so he told me this transaction had just been rejected in the last 2-3 min. Also dunnoe how the cheater got my details since i use only 3 comps, my work and my sis one which is pretty secure. Only my personal one sometimes connect to other ppl's network. could be phishing at work. wahlau. nvr thought this type of thing could happen to me. Then now got one transaction on ebay that is hanging in the air coz the seller not returning my emails. dunno if really out to cheat or what coz 100%positive feedback leh. cant be i so suay be the only person to get bad service from him?
my uncle was telling me learning lab at U Sq recruiting teachers and the ad said they're paying equivalent to MOE. If that's the case, I may just quit and go there. No CCA, no need to write curriculum, just teach.

sigh steffie, looks like my mum is getting more manure from me cos sumana kept having loose stools after drinking the anti-biotic enriched milk. according to medical websites... this is supposed to be a normal reaction but i think to play safe, i'd better just dump the milk. just letting her latch once when she wakes up at night. the rest she's drinking frozen milk.

everyday like in warzone lor... early morning have to leave by 630, then evening have to fetch bb from infant care at 6 plus. then go home no extra help, just me and hubby. lucky she's quite a good ger.

yvonne! wow! u still on no pay ah!
i have time to express here cos my sups leave us alone most of the time as long as we do our job. and in jc, there are no relief stints so we get our free periods. but i make it a point to let my sups know that i'm expressing... so they'll understand y i have to leave half way thru some longer meetings. actually my hod herself is expressing too... just tat i think her bb is weaning off bm liao so she's oni doing it once in college. guess i heng lor, so she can empathise wif me better.

Yvonne,
Me too! On NPL! still thinking if I should go back to work... When are you going back to work? Or do you intend to continue to be SAHM?
Tub,
I really really take my hat off you! You are a super mum plus career woman! Accomplish so much daily!! So are you still thinking of being SAHM? For me, I took leave to try out if I could survive being SAHM.. *sigh* I broke down many times as I don't really know how to cook!! In fact I don't like cooking!! My hubby is the one who cooks for me on weekends... Anyway, my VP is waiting for me to call her to tell her my decision.. *sigh sigh sigh* I dread going back to THAT kind of LIFE.. practically work like crazy.. . Hubby wants me to go back to see if I can balance work plus baby.. He says I'm the people-person so very hard for me to stay at home...
I'm at a crossroad .. still don't know which direction to go...
Been thinking so much that I'm having very disturbed sleep.. keep waking up... Actually I really want to be SAHM for a year or two..
Now with the new scheme, I can ask for half load half pay.. still thinking

Hi mummies, u can either get from headband from mothercare, or: www.divamamas.blogspot.com
I got it from the website.
mothercare only got 1 or 2 design.
Baby gal really can dress up ar... can't help it one. no matter how much u resist buying things for them, u JUST CAN;T HELP IT. HAHAHA
Slimz, u;re right. Since I can't feel good buying clothes for myself (as i can't fit into old sizes), i'll just dress her up. anyway when i bring her out, ppl look at her, and not me. LOL.

really pei fu you. My productivity at work has gone downhill since i went back after ML ended. Now every day thinking of when i can take NPL or resign. But sometimes when it's just me and my 2 girls, I find i cant cope, esp if the older one is having a jealous fit and the younger one is fussing. If no maid/hb at home with me, I will break down. Sigh, want the best of both worlds, but not possible. Thinking of going adjunct. Heard that it's only teaching, nothing else. But no benefits lor, only get paid for the days you teach, like relief tr.

damn sian. my hb went to china last nite (for work) n will only b back nx tues.
it's times like these where i really feel that it's terrible not to hv him ard. i nvr seem to outwardly thank n appreciate e stuff he does for me, but now tt he's away, i feel so lost. sometimes i feel that wif e kids occupying so much of mine n his time, we hardly hv time for each other. our lives just simply revolve ard e kids, which i think is highly unhealthy *arrgh*. suddenly i miss e times when we were a couple. life felt so much 'freer' then. owell, just a sad ol' me saying my piece. i told myself that when he comes back, i will b more grateful n thkful for e things he does for me. it's going to b a long wait. =(

lynzi, congrats om your ORD!!! wat do u intend to do after u tender?
steffie, yeah... i fully empathize wif u. i only have one little fella and our world seems to be dominated by her. can't imagine having 2 of them. do u guys hv couple time together? just leave the kiddos wif your MIL or ur mum and go out to pak-tor once a week?
come to think of it, my hubby is going mountain climbing in june for at least 10 days. i really dunno how to survive alone at home wif the princess. see how it goes...

i took my gal for her neonatal lupus (NLE)followup at the national skin ctr yesterday. good thing is... the prof who saw us said the prognosis for sumana is good. she said out of the 20 cases of NLE she has treated so far, all of the kiddos' skin repaired by the time they reach about a year old and babies wif NLE do not have lupus. my antibodies are likely to leave sumana by the time she reaches 6 months. so poor girl have to be poked again in 6 weeks time to test for the ramnants of those antibodies in her.
BUT... she wants me to see a rheumatologist at ttsh cos i have lupus anti-bodies in me. not sure if they will remain dormant or if there will be an outbreak later on in life. i hope not. well, that's life i guess... so full of uncertainties.
