Hello all! Reporting from Manila. Willb be here till wednesday.
Pixie,
I talked to my boses on thursday and felt a lot better after that. Told them clearly I can only travel to india once a month, max, no negotiation till when it's nearing to the audit. They acceptrd that. And told them what's the problems I am facing etc. Think I am still lucky cos no matter what, I knock off at 530pm sharply everyday. No one really monitoring my wherebout and what time I reach or leave office. Hope things are better and I can stay on
Tongtong,
So far, I also worked under 3 lady boss. Not much issues, they are actually more understanding than male boss. But then also depending on the nature of my previous jobs bah. I used to manage a team of staff in my previous job, I am definitely not the typical female bosses. All mummies got good performance ratings, keke.

Hi mummies,
wow all talking about bosses.
Ok i experienced the opposite. I worked with 3 male bosses and 1 female boss before. ALL 3 males bosses were NOT understanding. The only female boss was wonderful and very understanding (that was during my 1st pregnancy), the male bosses was during my pre preg years, high expectations and not understanding at all (one cannot accept that i took leave to bring my dad for specialist visit which was the 1 and only time in my 5 years of work with him), cannot imagine if i worked under them after i have my children.

Pixie, hehe, was free last few days but so quiet so I gave up on posting. ;P
Steph, sigh, having babies after 35 really taking a risk. My close friend had PCOS and had problem TTC. Gave birth to her no. 2 late last yr but her baby boy has kabuki disease, just had heart op in April and in and out of hospital for many times liao. Now admitted again for pneumonia. But she is a staunch Christian so she did not believe in amnio screening or abortion. Really hope her boy gets better soon.

Aqua, yup, pp marrying later and having kids later. Most times, should be ok, but in my friend's case, it's not. Sad for her, already difficult to have baby. She had her no. 2 last yr when she was 35. But in the end, her baby not healthy. Hiaz.

kitsune,
so sad for yr frd & hope her boy gets better soon. How old is her #1 btw?
actually having babies is already a risk for woman of any age. fear of complication during pregnancy, some suffer GD, high blood, risk of DS baby etc...the list can go on...some really beyond our control. For me, is really about quality time given to my kids & i really don't think i've extra energy to chase after #3 & work full time still. My PIL don't want to take care of my boys liao so if #3 comes, i'll have bigger headache on my logistic issue
I feel blessed & happy to have 2, enuff liao...as i age, my priorties shifted too.

Steph, her no. 1 is slightly older than ours, 07 baby. So her boys are 3 yrs plus apart. Yup, understand what u mean. Not just us, ILs getting older everyday so their priorities will also change. Most want to enjoy themselves after looking after grandkids for some yrs Liao.

Pixie, it's ok. How come got Robinsons vouchers? So good.
I think you went just after the sale, that's why so quiet. Most pp 'buay gam wan' to go to Robinsons after just 1 day after missing the private sale. ;P

pixie,
i'm thinking of doing it cos my maid...after 2 years still need constant reminders even of her daily routine.Still sitting on the appraisal..keke but my knowledge very limited so need to "geng" my brain a bit..
yes i read about tamarind's blog, don't understand why must those people call to shut down the blog.It's too one-sided in Singapore.
Pauline,
i'm sure a lot of people are looking for scooping cheaper properties next year, especially those cash rich singaporeans.

Thanks for your feedback.
My order cost abt $60. Think is cheap cos TV selling $108. Gmart is selling abt $60+ but see until i confuse cos so many plp selling it.
So is it worth buying? Haha, I m a lousy cook & wonder this pan will help me to improve my cooking ^.^
Saw my FB friend used it to bake marble cake
Wow look amazing to me. Can grill salmon, chix, fried vege & bake too ;P

Janbb, oic, never mind, I go search youtube videos. Thanks.
Aqua, resale mkt in year end usu quieter cos most buyers n sellers go on holidays or celebrate Xmas. Never seen your place before n dun have the details so can't do CMA for u. But since u have been marketing it for a while, if u feel good abt the offer, then sell lor. Ignorance is bliss when u selling on your own.
