Right now, no particular bag calling out to me. But u knw, there'll always be new things that will catch your eye *winkz*

medusa,
I fwd that BP link to my hubby, ask him for opinion. I also duno the electricity bill, but heard my mum was saying the bill went up to $400+ (I think partially due to the hike). Next time live in own house, duno how siong it will be.

reirei / M2B,
wa... u all got me looking at Coach bags again.

M2B,
i still hv not tot abt wat pressie I want. Actually me feel quite bad. This yr I asked hubby what he wanted for bday, he said no need. He still got me something too. Haha. He always duno what to get for me, ask me what I want. After preg, I tompang my colleague to get Burberry for me in Osaka, when I got it, hubby saw, he asked how much and said he will pay for it. heh...
Well, can only say at least better that I tell him what I want, instd of him buying me something which I don't like.

Ya, I wana explore bringing bb to zoo, bird park, farmway etc. But these few days she's so cranky!

my #1 always tell me, mummy i love you so much, thank you mummy for cooking chicken rice for me
, i want to be your gd girl and listen to you, mama i miss papa. then she will pick up the phone and dial her father.

 

[valnsw]

To those mummies w maids,
Any of u encountered the maid's husband calling your house?
I just got a call e moment I coaxed bb to sleep, she got woken up by the ringing.
I asked in a low tone who's on the line, a male voice answered and asked for my maid.
I asked him who he was, kept saying he's from Indonesia.

In the end, I passed to my maid, but told her not to talk too long, after she identified the other party to be her hubby.

Now, this set me thinking: How does he knw the correct number to call??

The last time I let her call back was on Hari Raya, and cos e lines were so jammed, I only managed to get thru to her mother's line.

Seriously, I just want to ask, if anybody knws, if I call thru V019, u mean the other party in Indonesia who has caller-ID can see the local number here meh?

If they are not able to see the number there, then it makes me wonder, how the heck her hubby knws the number to call??? Which can only mean my maid told her mum the number ya?

If it's the latter case, then wa liew... this maid is not that simple liao.

Now, i'm thinking if she will come out funny pattern say her hubby call cos got financial prob at home etc... ask for $

 

[vone]

valnsw,
ya lor... tink buy fr paris is d best. can claim vat. so it's much cheaper.


msapple,
*high 5* which 1 did u buy? aiyo, hw come ur #1 can bite d mat? well, it depends on u. bt if can use, then might as well use. can save some $.

samantha,
if ur hb offer, then buy lah. treat it as a treat 4 urself.

oh, u dun buy d LG prime mat, jus get d parklon 1. it's cheaper.

 

[missysz]

serriz,
which chanel are u eyeing? my gf got 2 chanel bags this year. i am a green eyed monster. haha.

valnsw,
tell me about it..my maid's SIL (working in spore), Sis (working in taiwan) all called my home and to add on, i let my maid use her hp hor haha..

 

[missysz]

msapple,
wow, your #1 teeth so strong ah?! miss her leh! better meet soon if not she see me blur blur again. haha. get a new playmat lor..the parklon one not bad and not as ex as LG.

 

[vone]

valnsw,

i tink u shld ask ur maid abt it. ask her hw come her hb noes wat no. 2 call & y did he call? coz if she had given ur hse no. 2 her hb or mum w/o ur permission, then i tink tat it's nt rite. somemore he called when ur maid is supposed 2 b wking rite? then he woke up ur bb? man... i wld b hopping mad if it happened 2 me.

as 4 hw he noe d correct no. 2 call, tink he can ask around in indo. coz thr r a lot of ppl who has relatives wking as maids in sg. so they wld noe hw 2 call. i dun tink if u call via v019, d other party can c ur no. coz it's an overseas call.

 

[hisstory]

missysz
wow.. $700 ah, nvm lor, can get a peace of mind too! There's end of season sale for Coach leh.. Let me find the details..

heheh, save some $$ then can get the interlocking C

[valnsw]

missysz,
now the thing is I just wondering, how wld the maid know my parents' tel number?
That time I let her call back, I wanted to use the calling card that I bought, so that no trace of the number from SG.

anyway, she just told me actually her hubby called her in the morning alrdy, abt her son hving fever. Think she wanted to tell me she told her hubby to call later as she was tending to my bb.

Anyway, told my mum to act blur. Duno what other patterns the maid will come up now.

 

[missysz]

hisstory,
wow, 2.55! new collection! drooling all over my keyboard now. hehe. actually chanel already increased their prices few mths back.

hi mummies
i just got back from the trial from Kindermusik..i personally think its alrite..quite ok lessons..music are also ok..i like the part where they have different typr of toys with different texture for bbs to play..but i must ..for bbs our age..abt 4 months plus..its quite tiring for them..cuz it last for 45mins..n just b4 that, my bb had her milk..so it was almost for her to sleep..but she was quite intrigued with the music and other older bbs around...mine was the youngest...the rest can crawl and walk liao...
i did sign up for the remaining sessions..5 sessions till 9jan..cuz i feel that the bonding was quite good...i get to dance with bb...play with her..altough this can be done at home..but she also got a chance to see other bbs ..so i thought it was quite ok...it was supposed to be 8 sessions but their term started..so, i just need to pay for the remaining 5 sessions..anyway..since i still have my school holis till 9jan..so i thot its ok..cuz their sessions for younger bbs like ours is all on fridays..weekends are for older kids...so those mummies who is keen after the trial..u might want to double check with them if weekend have classes for younger bbs anot..
bb ver tired after dancing...now sleeping .hheehee..good exercise..

( for mummy also heehee)

 

[doll_puppet]

dongle
my electric bills also same like urs..for past 3-4 months...$200plus..we thinking..canx be..cuz we quite save water n electricity..(in the past ..max only $80)...we thinking with bb..ok lar..maybe $100 over..cuz we dun on aircon...then u know this month how much? $50 nia!!...so silly rite? the graph on my bill..somemore got negative figuree!! so dumb!..how can be negative..if never use..the most is zero mah..got minus sign somemore..!
