Ha, i nt angry wif her at all. In fact, my hubby will be more angry. For me, i just hear n discuss wif my hubby or my FIL. In their family, the man has more weight n my hubby n FIL very objective. In fact, they also been nagging n scolding her, including my SIL. So for me, is i just can help fr the concern point like sourcing the chair, etc. Once a while, can only tell her to better listen else next time she suffer. But i dun think she got the determination.
Tat y when i wnt to do my confinement at my parents home, my FIL n hubby ok. Just once awhile her my MIL requesting me to go back to inlaw to do cos like all of u say, to save face n do their part since their grandson. So my case is Got Heart, No Energy. But the irony is they a little cant accept my hubby sleep at my parents place during my confinement. I told hubby u settle liao, i dun care. Dun expect to throw all to my mum to do w/o confinement lady some more.

Ellysia,
My baby is like yours - moves constantly while I am at work.
I look forward to the movements cos they are v reaasuring. SOmetimes, I feel little tickles near my pelvic bone there - both my preggie fren and I feel that most likely it's their fingers. But dunno is it or not.
Cactus/Ellysia,
What's the name of the Jap restaurant at chijmes?
Crystal,
It's a good sign that your hubby is looking forward to fatherhood. My hubby's been v supportive so far. I will not say he's VERY excited about it but he does tok to bb everyday and will mention things like "next time, I will teach him to do this, do this etc.." so I guess that's his way of expressing his anticipation.

oic...since she said the invested $ is now a loan, anyway can get her to sign something for u n hb to remove her name as biz partner from ROC? if she stills wan her name as boss in company, then by the same token, hve her sign a doc to state the amt of $ as invested & u & hb dun own her any $.
felicia/veniz,
i m going to be a meanie n tempt u gers abt the Line...they ve salmon belly @ the raw sushi counter in addition to the usual fresh salmon, tuna, prawn, eel, etc... kekekekkee...
hb's family members (SIL/BIL), so if we seem kenna 'bully', wat can i say? my PILs also tiam tiam pay up when their whole family vanishes after dinner. as elders, i believe they (PILs) shd say something, as they dun, wat hb n me says wun matter i guess cos it may disrupt the peace within family.
veniz-yur colleague reai one kind, remind me of an ex-colleague tat i had previously, a chap in managerial position who always wans freebies n tabao dept's left-over pastries, sandwiches, etc home. not tat he has no $ cos the wife also in managerial position as he is, jus totally cheap-skate. as colleagues, we can oni shake heads lor...

Actually shark fish meat is not v nutritional. My MIL also know not good for preggy women.
Normally i will tell my MIL straight at her face if something she cook or want me to eat, tat is not suitable for pregnancy. Sometimes she may debate with me. Sometimes i just keep quiet and say dun want to eat. She know i am picky on my food so we just let it be without any reasons.
I guess tats why my MIL dun cook so often for me nowadays cos maybe i am picky with food.. last time we eat outside with relatives she gave me fatty pork i reject.

Last weekend MIL bot royal jelly, she want me to try. Ask my hb whether i can take or not, hb said previously ored ask gynae and gynae say can take. I say i dun want liao but she 'force' me to take 1 small teaspoon. Very potent and i feel unwell later.. later she panic and worried.. i know she has good intentions so didn't really blame her. Somemore the royal jelly she gave me is v ex one, FIL bot $199 one small bottle.
But feel a bit compelled lah.. cos my mum normally won't dare to force me to eat anyting if i reject one.

The mother restaurant of Sun with Moon is called
JAPANESE DINING 'SUN' (@Chijimes). Addy: 30 Victoria Street #02-01 Chijmes, Tel: 6336-3166
Crystal, I am not afraid of your meanie, haha. I can wait till after give birth, just craving for my upcoming steamboat. The Line, can always go after preg, only for lunch buffet.
We sure can shake hands about those pple in offices. My mgr just told me his dear BIL (that guy who complained about the food lar) needs to take time off for his reservist camp stuff. Tell me about it, the Army will provide notifications to him and he has to provide these documents to me for claims (monetary or time off, etc). I rem last yr he took a time off to go camp, then never attend and took time off again for reprimandation. Work less, take salary, order hobby stuff into office to do (he located in store) and always come up with excuses. Hate such colleagues!
Shark fish is not very good for health, if not wrong its due to the high mecury in the sea water where they breed.

Ellysia, shark meat is very high in mercury... but it's okay. I just don't eat that. I guess I"m lucky in the sense I have the opportunity to eat nutritious meals during lunch so dinner, I don't mind anyhow eat for dinner.
Fennie, actually all fish have mercury. mercury is bad for bb's development. can cause brain damage if taken in excessive dose. Big fish feed on small fish, and tehrefore, have higher levels of mercury in them. predatory big fish in deep seas are the worst. That's why even when we eat salmon and cod fish which are high in omega oils, it is important to eat from a variety of sources (country, farm,etc). If we take fish oils, it's important to go for safe brands... actually, it is recommended that we eat 3 servings of oily fish per week. that is all the omega oils we need for brain development. oily fish include sardines, some types of tuna, cod and salmon.

Fennie,
Interior design if u are doing for residential, if u have a office is good lah, at least people trust better and can view material samples etc by visiting yr office. But u can always rent a cheap office also.
Actually its also rely a lot of referral business. Try to advertise in other ways to bring in more biz?

if daughters are not expected to pay towards their maternal family expenses, then married daughters shd also not be staying wif own parents n living off own parents, rite? ve own hse but dun stay there, instead rent out to earn $. dun get e wrong idea tat i m bias against my SIL, she has her good points too but it is hers & her hb $-pinching ways tat gets to me n hb. my hb says comment abt his BIL cos diff family, diff upbringing, but own sis different. he said in the past she wasnt tis bad but in recent yrs, she became more n more calculative, tat was y he got pissed.
yur SIL is also educated, she shd know tat eating deep sea seafood has mecury. if she doesnt, maybe yur hb in capacity of her brother as well as doc by profession can mention to her tat eating such stuff is demerital to her bb's wellbeing? maybe she will heed then?

Luckily only see ur comment on The Line after my very full lunch. hehe... Well, most probably will stick back to my seafood rest 1st, 2nd will be buffet feast. Coz i had told my ger we'll bring her to catch small fishes and prawns.
As for The Line, better wait till i delivered coz i'm a mussel, osyters, salmon lover, sure cannot resisit the temptation if i were to go there.

My SIL also stay in my MIL with her hb. She does not pay anything to my IL as she claimed she has her own flat and have to maintain the bills there (which they only go back as weekend chalet and do not rent out that flat). A few reasons for staying at my IL hse are : free meals, free SCV (paid by my HB!)and utility usage, convenient to go work, no hse work to do. They do not have any children and she always pick up fights with my MIL over small little things. She still has the cheek to ocassionally ask me how much allowance her younger bro gives to their parents as she doesnt dare to ask him direct.
Still, my IL give in to her as she has been spoilt rotten by them. I just feel very lucky that although my hb was also spoilt, at least he still know how to 'think'.

cactus, yes, in another point of view, they may be happy to have her around. In fact, if she had gone back to her own flat to live in when I got married into this family a few yrs back, me and hubby will still be staying with IL as we are those who have the mindset that as only son (my hb), we have to stay and take care of them (or vice versa) when they are old. We got a bigger flat just to standby in case my PILs want to stay with us in future.
