Morning everyone. Yawn. Reporting in from office today.
Wow cellow, super scary! u are quite a winner man!
Haiz i am now in a dilemma. St James sent the letter wanting us to pay the rest of the fees for school term starting next year. Deadline is next monday. Now considering the following:
1) My mum cannot cope with so many active kids at home, esp xun who is more active then the rest
2) #2 will require quite alot of attention too
We have tot of postponing the enrollment for xun gal to st james till 2012 (for nursery instead). Next year can put her in full day 5 days cc.
However when i called up the school, horror!
1) We have to withdraw from the current registration first and forfeit 50% of the deposit previously paid
2) Re-Q on the super long waiting list (currently at 122) for the nursery list!
Almost fainted. Whats the probability of getting in for nursery? Almost 0 ah.
Haiz. so seems like xun gal might not be gg to st james after all (cry) and all the hard work i put in. No choice. Maybe we can start q-ing for kindergarten instead...
Now comes the question that everyone ask me. Need to go such a good school meh? Didnt u grow up from those void desk PAP schools?

Haha SY. I left a lot of baby recipes for him to follow to cook for poppy and I’m proud to say that he has succeeded in making very good porridge for poppy! With ‘normal’ ingredients.
Mummies,
Do your kids refuse to eat when teeth are coming out? I think poppy got number 17 coming. Last week was non stop drool and this week she’s not interested in food much. How ah? Give more milk I guess?
Missy
Aiyah bluebunny just got me a new phone for wedding anniversary so no chance for iphone haha. Every birthday, every anniversary, any opportunity, he wants to get me a new phone. I don’t understand why. I’m the kind who will use my phone till it dies kind. I told him ‘next birthday please get me something pretty and useless ok?’. Men tend to turn practical after marriage
Thanks everyone, yes bluebunny is coping great. He’s bringing poppy out everyday (except when it rains then she gets a 45 min bath haha). I’m glad he’s not just letting her watch tv all day long. We eat out a lot more than we used to but that’s ok la.
DD
Why must stop fruits? I think all the more you should give fruits leh. Lots of vit c is good whenever we are sick, right?
Batgirl
I can’t wait to see Wuffy’s acting skills!
Cellow
Wow mt a also got ladies card? What are the perks! Thanks for calling me yesterday but haiz… I don’t knock off so early lor. Did you manage to get any good buys? Wow that was scary, the false labour experience! You made mr c sound so cool haha.
Jacelyn
Don’t listen to all those people la. As parents of course we want what’s best for our kids. I think whatever school is fine. It doesn’t mean good school will definitely churn out good kids. Or vice versa.
It is so silly hor that you don’t get any priority even though bbxun is already in st james at the mo? Anyway don’t worry, we haven’t even thought about childcare or nursery or kindergarten etc. I just know I would like poppy to go to my primary school hehe.

so some of you very sweet mummies have been asking me about my job and sending me lovely sms-es. thanks much. i really appreciate that.
work has been... how shall i put it... "ok" i guess. while i rather like the actual job scope, the culture is something that i'm very not used to, esp since my last company was so different (in a good way).
colleagues are alright i guess. but sometimes you get to be quite close with colleagues and can go out for a drink after etc. these are not those kind.
the boss is a character. i'll just share one tiny bit of info to add on what you already know (about her noting that i go back on time everyday). she asks the department's assistant to clean her office every week (i.e straighten up her table etc) and i just found out that this poor lady also has to buy the boss' breakfast every morning. and not from some special place near her own house, but from the canteen downstairs.
all i can say is shan zai shan zai and pretend i don't know anything. act blur, live long. that's my new motto. just do my job and get out

Congrats!!! You're looking good - tired (which is totally understandable), but you still have the glow
Have a wonderful 2nd babymoon!
DD
Hope BbG is feeling better. Hey, he's eating more than L even while he's sick!
Hypnobirthing: I have the book, if any of your sisters are interested. Can sell cheap cheap! It worked for me in reducing the severity of contractions. The progress of contractions increasing at a staggered rate instead of a sharp climb, and we saw that mirrored on the monitor and the paper printout. I even took a photo of it as proof to myself that it works, hehe!
PB
Is this the first time that you are working under a female boss? Some of them are like that one.
Water
How much do your babies drink? L is on a water strike. He drinks only about 5oz per day! And comes to me for sips and sucks very very often lor. I have to force the bottle to him and when I tell him that I won't let him have the breast unless he drinks some water first, he screams.

Youpi: how did u deliver ur two boys? Dun mind buying over the book fm u what's it called?
Not sure if babyG's drinking too much or not, he sometimes wants water instead of milk or food..takes 15-20oz per day..
Refuses other liquids like e honey lemon concoction or pure honey drink I've been making him...n I think his milk strike could be cos he doesn't like e taste of pediasure! So happy he drank 100ml of his mamil gold before bedtime
Any pics from the party anyone?
Can't believe the weekend's over so soon..Have a good week ahead mummies!

Youpi,
just a thought. Maybe L doesn't need that much water cos he's still almost 100% breastfed. All that foremilk is quenching his thirst?

ya u might want to try soy milk. I rem pd told mr to switch to soy for a while but Barbie doesn't like...
I hope to have a better day today as my long weekend was hell for me. And don wish to talk abt that.
Then first half of the day was pretty good. Until I saw a mummy who just gave birth abt 6 mths ago in high heel and walking in front of me in tight clothing. She look prefectly slim. Not like someone whom just had a baby. Ok that wasn't so bad.
Worse is when I reach office. My table is in a mess. I just took a half day on Thursday that only allows me to go at 3.30pm. And now my table is messing and worse my keyboard gone missing with no note saying why!!! What a "good" start for the week!!!
I think my bad luck from last week is being carried forward...

Wow cellow gave birth? Thats like pretty short and sweet (not sure if sweet is the right word).
Anyway we made a decision over the weekend. To hire a confinement lady and have the confinement at my place instead of my mum. So that i can enjoy the peace at home (without the 3 little ones screaming around).
Qing! Dun fret! this could be the end of lousy luck last week. Btw love barbie in her sexy dress! She looks so hot!
Smiggle, thanks for the party! It was great! And Kayden is truly a hardy boy!! very strong! And errm ur dog really very guai. Quite handsome also. but too big haha And nice porridge u made - even hubby was interested in the porridge! We went to get scallop yesterday and added into the porridge. Really very nice! haha
Nice meeting everyone else! Let me know if there are any pictures ok? Lousy mummy here always never take picture of xun girl.
DD, yah u must take note of what type of honey u give hor. Some will induce phlegm. And yah not all bb will like soy milk. Xun girl rejects it totally. Anyway nowadays she is also not so interested in milk anymore. Prefers cakes and all other junk food ..
Ok back to quarter end.
