Shall we have a gathering then? It's been quite a while, hasn't it? I can volunteer my house, or rather my ils house. Haha.
A lunch potluck session?
PS: I'm actually quite excited... haven't seen you all in such a while!

Hi mummies.. We are back! Had a great time sharing our cough and flu along all family members!
Drove all the way to kIdzania and realise we were not ready to brave not 1,000 but 1,500 school kids there! So went for some bungee trampoline fun at the curve instead
And ya, cin your memory didn't fail u! It's my FIL who's the great chef at home! But we can't make it on deepavali cos G's got a sentosa bday party to attend
but ya.. We've not met for some time Liao... Have another during Christmas?

Thanks everyone! Due 22-mar-13 at the moment and ya.. The last straw that made us change our minds was g asking for a sibling repeatedly.. He's all promises now, telling me to sit back and rest when baby is out cos he wanna be the one Changing, feeding, carrying and all.. Very sweet but will see if the attitude changes when a real baby emerges haha.
But we have noticed how he's still so gentle towards our baby niece And nephew so we do hope he will make a great kor kor
this baby is after all.. Really for him!

Thanks all for milk powder info. Recently there was a scam going on. The seller Mia after collecting lots of $ from buyers.
BBP, yes, that kind. Wonder how reliable is the service.
Cin, cell: any diff in the quality? Are they the same as those in sin? Some said not the same?
Dd: nepia still around. Only at baby fairs, they sometimes have sales. Otherwise hardly any sales at NTUC. Goon is better if you are looking at jap ones. Can get from jb also. Got mine from jb too!
Pb: ya! The cash bonus too! I missed the cash bonus by 2 weeks! Would have gotten it if Gwyn was delivered in full term.
Gathering!

Jo,
I've bought from luvbabies before. Twice I think. So far so good. But then again, that was a long time.
Baby bonus - I thought they extended it to mums who delivered early but as long as the EDD is after the cut-off date? I had no chance cos Dec was born exactly on his EDD.
Gathering's at lunch time so let's say 12?
smiggle,
My house got roof mah. Why worried about the rain?

Jo,
So far, only smiggle has confirmed that she's bringing swiss rolls. See the food is bracketed beside the attendance list.
Eh, so everybody's bringing dessert ah? Nobody wants actual lunch ah?

Yay! Finally some actual lunch food! Haha!
Ok, I will provide drinks (since it's typically heavy) and think about what other food I can provide.

cellow, smiggle
hugs hugs...
though me and hb's relationship has improved slightly after such a long time of counseling, it is still far from ideal. but of cos some improvement better than none.
now i learnt to expect less (or zero). one thing that i used to mind a lot is why m i the only one asking for time together or dates etc. now a lot of things i just relax or let it be. maybe it works? dunno...but hb actually noticed what i was wearing yesterday and when he asked how come i m wearing so formal, i was a bit taken aback cos he seldom notices what i m wearing. so i guess he also making some effort there!

jx is afraid of cold. so she din have as much fun as jh. if your kids ok with cold then shd be fun. place is small so easy to go ard. the highlight is the long slope. i like!!
cellow,
hmmm i also question that part about zero expectations. i guess in a way it is not zero but a shift of our mindset. i always mind being the one to initiate dates, dialogue etc and counselor always ask me so what is wrong with that and i find myself wondering what is wrong with that. jsut something that is hard to articulate and over time it has become my expectation to have some initation from hb in the various areas. dunno whether i make sense or not....

i have news! no, not another baby. a new role in my current company.... exact transition date not known yet as new boss still negotiating with current boss. tis a lateral move, no salary increase, so i dun really care to push for an earlier move date.
deepavali gathering
someone post some pixs please!
primary school
this is my dilemma now. to take a confirmed place in Tao Nan (wah, even Parliament mentioned Tao Nan as one of the TOP 6 primary schools in SG on page 1 of the ST ystday) or send C1 to a more holistic education at St Stephen's? sigh decisions. maybe if i blog abt it, i will get my own thoughts sorted out.

cin,
Did you manage to get that pic? I thought by the time you managed to aim your phone there, the children had dispersed.
No prob, it wasn't too big a mess. We finished packup in less than 30min.
Don't forget to collect your little shoes...
pb,
There's an unidentified belt at my place and according to Mr bbp, it's bluebunny's.
Christmas gathering -
I would love to volunteer my place again, but I scared my ILs scold me... too much too soon

well, i'm just gonna get pomfret into whichever catholic school which'll take her : P whatever i cannot take care of, Jesus will. heh.
hmm. btw, an ex-coll of mine, she was one of the lucky few who managed to get the son into TN by balloting without PV. then, when the kid was in pri 2, he told her 'mum, i look down on you because you don't drive a car'.
well. lets draw our own conclusions from that, of coz that's not definitive nor conclusive of anything, but since you've made your decision, this helps cement it a bit more : P

Christmas gathering:
I can't do on Christmas itself. Christmas day itself is always a huge gathering at my mom's with family from both sides! Usually dad's side comes for lunch, mom's side comes for dinner. It's a huge huge event that totally tires my dad out such that he takes a nap in the afternoon. But we all look forward to it!
dustee,
I love your statement too. Of cos the one about Jesus taking care of everything. But what the heck about the other kid's statement!? I so want to march over there and slap the kid!
PB, Cin,
If we are meeting soon, I will just bring the stuff over la. If not, if I go to your respective areas, I'll just bring along and see if you all are at home la.
School:
Dec is definitely going to Henry Park, it being so near and his dad being an old boy. Which means... I also can't move anywhere else and can only look for flats around this area which are $$$$$$ and few.
smiggle,
Phew for you!
