(2008/07) July 2008

ya! i also dun want to go to that coffee club liao... bad service and lousy food. BUT the company was good! Promfet so buddy with me, did not cry when i carry her... :p

wow! cellow! you made a u turn and went back there? hehehe

SY, you got mail!
 


cellow: you went for your meeting and headed back to coffee club for part II? LOL

michelle: Your lunchie was late too? alamak! tasted terrible huh?

looks like this coffee club's not getting the thumbs up from the jul moms!

okie will check out pics on FB!
 
bbG, eh when did you share that j-pop shop lobang thingy?!? I didn't hear wor.. so itchy to shop today actually... end up din stop by any shop at all...
 
PB & dustee...did you girlst find the shop?

michelle: must have been before you arrived... similar to the tee that L was wearing...

I find the girls' skirts (wiv 3/4 tights beneath them) so so cute!
 
do1nk
i think dustee and i didn't manage to find the shop you were talking about. we went round and round OUB centre and found a shop selling really cheap stuff from 50 cents and got some good deals

i actually thought my food was quite good! hehe. but michelle's wait was tooooooooooo long la. it was so funny that michelle was still waiting when cellow came back and sat down then ta da, cellow's food appeared like immediately hehe

poppy thinks she should get a commission cut from ORGANICS (or ORGANICX) for promoting their snacks. today she shared the blueberry/raspberry flavoured organic rice cakes
 
re iherb
will order when there;s enough orders

PB
their snacks are really ex. u got good deal on where to buy? my hb will nag if i buy
 
cellow came back from her meeting to join you guys again?
and michelle stuff wasn't served still.
oh my...
guess that's the last time there liao.
 
SY
My #1 likes the books!
happy.gif
He was reading them earlier, and then he told my hb, "Daddy, the baby is connected to the mother by the umbilical cord. And the femur is the largest bone in the body." LOL

Rena
Yes, Zion Bishan. Near to your home too, right? My #1 is now at PCF near my place.

Do1nk
Re: Raised eyebrows when we were breastfeeding at Coffee Club. You are so observant! Good thing they didn't try to get us removed from the premises like that mum at the Jap restaurant who was asked to leave because the people at the next table were uncomfortable about her breastfeeding while they ate!

PB
Emailed you the botaks pic already. Eh, you get my vote for glamour-mama!
 
jacelyn
i went to kk already and the lump came back in 2 days! sian man/

youpi
my #1 not into books now. i told him i have a lot of new books for him and he wasn't even interested. only into playing his toys now.

your son so cute and clever!
 
Lunch..
So sad I couldn't join last min.. Came back late from hair cut for bb and the air con man promise to come..

Youpi..
Where is pcf?? Wow your son is really smart .. How old is he?
Where in bishan do you stay? When want ticine over and play wii??

Happy labour day.. It is a tired weekend for me.. Tonight wedding dinner , tomorrow morning church wedding cum lunch.. My hb is one of the brothers and I needed go church early in the morning to do coordination..tired.. Luckly this Sunday Its not my turn to teach Sunday school..
 
youpi: yikes! they actually chased a customer out for breastfeeding?? maybe coz it's jap and they are usually very chauvanistic? geez!

S's so cute..wow.. he could actually read that body parts book? he's only 3plus right?

SY.. let JX latch n latch n latch?

happy labour's day everyone!
 
SY: yah latch and latch and latch

Happy Labour to everyone except me coz I am working today!! Now in office liaoz (BIG YAWNZ) ...

Rena: Me also attending wedding dinner tonight! Scarly we are attending the SAME dinner?? Mine is at Holiday Inn Parkview. Urs?
 
Nope jac, mine is at inter con.. My cousin in law get married .. I duno want to bring no2 or not leh.. So how is bb? Better already?
 
Rena haha orh I tot so qiao.

Bb xun is much better liaoz. No more coughin (yeah!) but think still got phlegm.. But think she is on antibiotics so got diarrhoea lo. Tomorrow bringing her for review =)

Hubby was just telling me that my MIL thinks bb xun keeps falling ill because she over eats and hence cause her to be weak. True??! Now MIL thinks she is a good caregiver coz the bb that she is taking care of never fall ill so keeps telling us to do this and do that. Say cannot give si shen rice cereal etc etc. So upset.

I think it has nothing to do with diet - as in bb xun is eating the si shen rice cereal and eating 1 rice bowl each time. Its just that bb xun was exposed to germs (my niece was sick so pass to bb xun .. then i was sick so also spread to bb xun) and so happened that my SIL bb was not exposed to such germs so not sick lo. Think that statement does not give justice to my mum.

Now i not very keen to bring bb over to MIL place liaoz.
 
Jacelyn,
Since you not keen to bring bb to MIL place, then don't bring lor. At least you got the option (read: you don't stay with your in-laws).
But talk to your hubby about how you feel. Because I am someone that HATES people telling me what to do. But hubby will say, just ignore lor. But the point is... don't tell me what to do la! Ignoring is a whole separate issue altogether mah.
Oops, lotsa angst just came out.
 
Bbp, caught your point here.

Yah I tried telling hubby abt it and i say its not being fair to my mum if you say this. She has done her best under that situation for bb xun. And I can witness that. If i am in her shoes, I will not be able to handle everything. Errm but cannot dun bring bb xun there. Hubby insist and even if we just dun go over for 1 week end, he will be nagging and trying to squeeze time out for it. Haiz. See today me working so I wun know where he brings bb xun to!

Yah hubby keep saying if I dun like to hear what MIL says, just keep saying 'yah yah yah' then dun do lo. But i say no. If i say yah, it means i agree and its not fair to my mum.

Haiz in office got office politics and home got home politics!!!
 
youpi
thanks for the pics! wasted the back of poppy's head was not facing the camera nicely like liam's. she was too smitten by liam la, looking at him
happy.gif


glamour mama? haha no la. it was so stupid to go out in a long dress, with stroller. 2 things that i seldom do, separately. lucky there was a guy who helped carry pram up a few stairs. but i managed to carry poppy in pram down.

*flexing muscles* mama power!

bbp and jacelyn
aiyoh. poor you guys!! ya i agree, hard to ignore. but then what to do... move out? bbp can prob think of it but jacelyn, maybe can consider babysitter?

later i am going to watch my 2nd husband in the cinema! WOLVERINE!!! woohoo! and bluebunny is going to watch poppy and have coffee.
 
PB,
Ha! Move out? How to move out when hubby doesn't see the problem? HA! Oops, more angst just came out.

Jacelyn,
I think only your hubby can talk to your MIL about how unfair she's being to your mom. Hope your hubby sees your point soon.
 
hot hot hot!

jacelyn u dun stay wiv your mom either right? who takes care of bbxun? u send her to your mom's place everyday?

LOL on PB having a 'date' wiv 2nd hubby..and 1st hubby must sit at coffee shop to wait keke.. dats so cool.. i wonder if i will ever get time out like dat...
 
Do1nk, opps. I (together with bb xun and hubby) am now staying with my mum most of the time coz its just more convenient then no need to ferry here and there. Hmmm come to think of it, maybe thats why MIL is saying that. Trying to make us go home ah.

Yah LOL on PB's date. Imagine hubby #1 green with jealousy coz PB is on a date with hubby # 2.
 
bbp, i know what u mean by hubby not seeing the point.

haha ok enough of MIL talks here. Just to be a bit fair, think my MIL is still the alright kind (since i dun stay with her ... sorry bbp ... ... )
 
"staying with in-laws" angst
gosh, bbp, understand your angst! i must not start typing about it, else it'd be a 10,000 word essay..... a whine worthy of a phd thesis....

eh, pomfret just chewed my ib token box to a watery mush, better go first. come back and chat more later. i got so many qns after a few weeks' absence from the forum!
 
Hi all,
mine turn to fall sick after kacey .....Sigh
by e way i sneak to expo just nw coz got new mom fair bought diapers for kacey.

Huggies ultra
1 pkt for $14
2 pkt for $25
free 1 pkt of huggies wet wipes(72 pcs)
usual price is $16.70

pigeon got sales also those mummies wan to stock up biscuits n bottles can buy cheaper than outside.
 
10,000 word essay on ILs
dustee,
yours is 10,000 words. mayb mine is 500 words. only bcz they are in another country and need to fly here. but i was telling a fren ystday that i dun thank tony fernandez and the other bosses of the budget airlines!!!

PB,
you best la. idea! *tink*
but HB wants to watch the movie too. *tink fades away*

Serene,
Like not much at the new mom fair leh.

do1nk,
only if you want to carve out time like that!

bringing bb out alone - HB
couple of weeks back, the day b4 he flew back to hometown alone (FIL had operation), HB turned to me and asked if I was comfortable w him bringing Cedric back to hometown alone. Ergo him onto the plane, minimal luggage - since HB going home mah, plus feed FM all the way.
you know wat, it was the feed FM all the way that made me say noooooooooo. even though I would have lurved the break.

aside... youpi,
how do i pronounce L's name again? i keep thinking of LIME but surely that cannot be rite.
 
psst, jacelyn and bbp,
think most DILs have a lot of angst towards the ILs. unless the ILs are the super duper listen to everything we say without bearing grudge type like Michelle's!
HBs in general dun seem to harbour the same angst towards Their ILs. Wonder why!

Michelle, you struck the jackpot w your MIL!
 
Cellow, yah the hardest part is, how to say no and in a nice and subtle way - enough for them to get the idea but still maintain the relationship. Difficult ah! When I was telling my MIL abt what I feel on feeding the rice cereal etc, I can tell that she was exasperated by me ... hahaha

But seriously can I just dun care anymore and do things the way I wanna do?

Zuo ren hao nan... ...

*Yawnz yawnz still in office with my eyes half closed ... was asking my colli if i could just take a nap at my desk!*
 
And Cellow, your hubby quite kang hu hor. Wanna bring bb alone on a flight on ergo (hmmm can ergo all the way meh? Tot got to put bb in a basket one?) ... think my hubby dun have should courage.

Bb's development:
Bb xun seems to have grown up quite a bit - not the weight but the reaction part. Yesterday when we got home, she saw us and opened her mouth, giving us a super big delighted smile look.
Then hubby said just now her soft toy dropped on the floor. She pointed to it, asking hubby (using eh eh eh sound) to help her pick up.
She also seems to be speaking alot of gibberish.

It seems that the hospital stay changed her ... she is now acting like a 1YO kid!
 
Jacelyn,
Yah, my MIL is alright too. Just get SUPer irritated when she suggests what to do.

Cellow,
Think got lotsa angst for DILs cos
1) men are more chin chai
2) usually staying with guys side, so more contact btw DIL & MIL

Ok, enough with ILs.. next topic!
happy.gif
 
cellow: lee-erm (without the R sound)? the famous liam's: liam gallagher or liam neeson keke

jacelyn: what r u doing in the office! hey u know some people say kids change when they go thru a 'serious' illness apparently.. my niece who used to be very docile and quiet became more active and observant
 
Jacelyn
Thanks so much for the pills! Hey are the contents of the capsules supposed to be liquid? Both are. Better check with you first.

Serene
Alamak now you are sick too! And can go baby fair some more! *faint*. Thanks for the update but very far for me I think we will not go.

Cellow
Wow your husband is very brave! Mine will do all the Sherpa things and even spend some time out with poppy alone but I must pack everything swee swee for him

Re my date
Hubby’s colleague’s wife had free tickets so I went with his colleague + the wife + another colleague (but I know all of them la) since hubby said he’s not interested in watching another man flex his muscles. My 2nd husband was handsome as always. I think he was also making eyes at me in the cinema. But very subtle movements. Cannot make other girls jealous.

Then met my 1st husband for dinner and realized that we only brought 2 diapers and poppy decided to poo so had to go to carefour to buy one pack of diapers lol. Huggies was ex so tried pampers dry instead. M was for 6-11kg and the L was for 12kg onwards I think. So I bought M. it is so small that it makes poppy’s bum bum look nice and compact lol
 
oh updates! was at children's section at carefour (always seem to head there first these days). books got sale! all books, including some children's books

"a house for hermit crab" (from eric carle, mr hungry caterpillar) was going for $10!
 
Cedric had a big day today!
well, mummy had itchy backside today, so brgt him lotsa places

wanted to go to the library to apply for library card for him, but public hols, library closed.
so ended up in the playgrd, then went w helper for a drink at coffeeshop (feel like a retiree)

then we all went out for dinner in Malaysia (!!!) actually on Malaysian land la at the Tanjong Pagar train station where Cedric amused himself by watching the flock of lost birds fly round and round in the dome-d train station

next is Marina Barrage! the night lights are v nice! Cedric-moth likes! mummy n daddy also like... bcz Cedric stopped his eh eh eh

Cedric KO on the way back.

Big day out!


Jacelyn,
Today is Labour Day leh. Why your boss like that one, make you work. Bassinet la! not basket dear. Bbs are not vegetables from the mkt to be put in basket
happy.gif

bb Xun so cute... can 'ask' HB to pick up the toy for her

PB,
now i m jealous! that you even caught the 2nd husband's new movie
 
jacelyn
hee jx also like that. spouting a lot of nonsense now. she has different sounds for different moods. when she is upset she goes yeeeyeeee all the time. quite funny.

she also makes hb go to the room that i m in when she is looking for me. quite funny.

cellow
wow your hb really gungho leh. mine? i think wait long long.

ask u something. your sis teaching right? can go back after lessons finish one? like bring the stuff home to do? thinking of going into teaching cos of the timing. can end earlier than 5pm...

wow u go to so many places...wish my hb got such energy. today jh got fever. dunno why. think his turn to be sick. i feel really sleep deprived for a week liao. everyday it's like 3-4 hours of sleep only.

PB
how u ever convince your hb to bbsit while u watch movie? is the movie nice? i really like xmen. just now i watched the cartoon on okto..haha

jacelyn
i always feel that IL have something hidden in their words. can't stand it. anyway nowadays i very upfront with my mil. dun care..

i keep latching leh but still like that. sometimes i think i forcing her to drink milk haha.

just now i commented to hb how my mil favors boys (favor jh more). and he agreed. whenever jx is sick, she dun ever call and ask how she is but will only ask abt jh. even my maid commented that my mil favors boys more....so obvious hor. i was secretly quite glad that jx rejects her each time she wants to carry. mean of me right? but serve her right...she always say things like dun wan to sayang her and always keep calling jx fierce gal. and she never buys anything for her at all and gives excuse that jx is too young.
 
Rena
PCF in Bishan St 22. My #1 is 3.5 years.
Can go over any weekday. You are near Dor Dor, yah? I am near Doggiebb.
Is your #1 in school?

Babies & reading
My #1 loves books and can be left alone to read or do workbooks, which he enjoys. He has been reading on his own since he was 2.5 years old. I’m extremely thankful for that because this means I can take care of the manja baby without feeling too guilty about neglecting him. *but I still feel guilty anyway and I really miss the times when we spent all day together*
sad.gif


BbG
It wasn’t the restaurant. It was the customer at the next table who complained to the restaurant manager, who in turn asked the breastfeeding mum and her family to leave. So much for a progressive society. *roll eyes*

Jacelyn
If you can stay away from MIL place, just do. Bb Xun falling ill is no fault of you or your mum. If you can ignore, ignore lah. At least Bb Xun is better, and that’s the most important, right?

Cellow
Yup, like what BbG said. “LEE-em” as in Neeson, Gallagher, Brady (the footballer – I asked hb
happy.gif


PB
Eh, I also like your 2nd husband leh. How? Can share or not?
 
Cellow,
Wow, big day. I feel tired just reading about your activities. We didn't go anywhere today. But somehow I still feel tired. Feeling very very tired, but fighting to stay awake to have some ME time now that the little boy is asleep for the night.

SY,
Haha, I was watching Xmen on Okto just now too.

youpi,
I like your #1! So guai. Can I send Declan there for training?
Liam Brady? I had to Wiki him to find out who exactly is Liam Brady. Even my hubby doesn't know lor. Careful... your hubby's showing his age.. heehee!
 
bbp
I also dread having to give the kids medi. Esp when 1 woman show. N this Ember jus crys n scream when she takes meds. I think I jus have to be glad that she jus willingly take them when she was having fever n only well already then start screaming n crying.

Jacelyn
Nw ur mil yaya papaya liao. But think no use lah explain to her also won't go into her head 1. She only taking care of 1 bb ma no other older kid right?? so probability of germs from other kids less liao.
N yap E also taking antibiotics so loose stools now.

Ummmm dun wan go mil hse aah.....tell her dun go cos later the bb she look after sick then she blame bb xun for carrying germs leh......hehehe

Hw bout using bb or other things as excuse to jus walk away from the conversation?? I do that sometimes when I argar that stupid qns will start coming my way n jus walk off. Even if it is jus to stand 20cm nearer the fish tank n show the kids....FISH.....hehehe

That day my fil asked for the 100th time.
FIL: "Ember dun wake at night for milk already hor"
Me: "Oh she still does"
FIL: shocked face then proceeding to ask "How many times? 1 time only hor"
Me: while fil ask halfway "Damien aah dun keep pulling ur shorts" n proceed to walk to Damien......hehehe

Cellow
Yah agree with u. My hubby can even go to my place to watch tv with my dad before I reach home (when we were dating). But then think they gotta make our parents like them before they can marry their precious daughters ma......hehehe
 
Youpi,
Your no. 1 is 2005 / 2006 baby?
Mine is dec 2005 but can only read simple words? I heard rat Zion trains kids to read ? He can read simple books but to know or read about what your son mention seem impossible for him..
Sure can come on weekday..
 
Cellow
Just read again about Cedric's Big Day Out. Wow!

Bbp
It's okay, I am also from that ancient generation, haha!

Dor Dor
Agree with Bbp, very good tactic!
happy.gif


Rena
He's Nov 05. Dunno about Zion training kids to read. He was only there for six days. But he still loves his trains/trucks/cars over books
happy.gif


Mac help
Are there any Mac experts here? I want to turn my iBook wireless but don't know how to do that.
 
youpi
sure sure, can share my 2nd husband!

S is so clever, can read at such a young age. my hubby was very impressed that S read the little book to him at the hospital when you came by to say hi when poppy was born.

i hope poppy can read early too. i'm reading alot to her, i hope that helps. and btw i just counted the number of books she has.... scary. 53. and that's before the sortfloor books arrive.

note to self: no more books and no more clothes for a while...

SY
yup i enjoyed the show. but as always i had my hand over my eyes at the gory parts. and well, he does have knives so... alot of gory parts la.

dor
hehe good to have 2 kids!!!

cellow
only cedric wipe out? parents not tired? hehe. i read only tired liao

i didnt manage to pull her legs fast enough to prevent all these from happen.
she roll down the side of the bed with the bolester.
and broke her little lips.
it was bleeding when i carry her up from the ground.
i was scared to death.
she carried non stop.

and her upper lips swollen like crazy.
lucky she can still eat and drink.
and even suck her tutu.

haiz...

i actually let it happen.
what is wrong with me?
