Shazz - Yes! I'm from NP MCM...how did you guess? Oh my goodness! Who are you?! Add me on MSN or FB -

Flos - can add you onto my MSN?
Wingkei - Eh! I know what you can do...You can start comparing him to other husbands who are plain supportive, and don't compare their preggy wives to other preggers. Maybe that will stop him once he gets a bitter taste of his own medicine? Anyway, know that you are BEAUTIFUL now cos you are part of life's greatest miracle - growing a new life inside you! Hugs hugs hugs.
PUSH GIFTS: Hehe...you all very advanced ah...I dun dare requesting. I'm already not working, and he's supporting me...Plus he never nags at me to do housework etc...and been very sweet to me all the time, esp when I'm hormonal and ridiculously unreasonable. So I think I've got my push gift liao. My greatest push gift would be his presence with me the delivery room and hopefully, one week after bb's born in Sept. Cos that will be his busiest work period and he has to take leave. Just have to pray that bb timing is 'zun' and his leave will coincide with it. Hehe.
ATAS: I think this is a state of mind more than a state of being. I've seen how middle-incomers can try to live it up, more than they can afford. Worse, they teach their kids to do the same. It's quite disgusting. Or the really rich being really condescending, disdainful and uncompassionate to those who are less well to do. Quite repulsive really. Eh... some of the atas schools can be the worst at providing holistic education, generating a breed of self-absorbed egomaniacs. I also know the principal of one of the 'atas' primary schools mentioned by Flos is quite anti-parents' feedback. He told the parents of P1 kids at orientation - "Don't come to me to give me feedback about my teachers. If not they will be unhappy and your kids will be unhappy." What does that mean??? Feedback is not the same as complaints. In either case, they should be professional enough to manage feedback. Sounds like they think they know everything.
At the end of the day, what good is an 'atas education' if the kids don't know how to be decent human beings who're interested and able to contribute to society? and who lack basic compassion? eeks! I shudder to think. I once had this 'atas' scholar turned education consultant tell me that she thinks that neighbourhood school students need more compassion than elite students. I completely disagree. the elite students will end up being leaders either in govt or influential NGO or GLC...if they dun learn compassion, won't they become megalomaniacs who won't give any hoot about the less-privileged?
Bigtoes - Hair colouring: Yes, research on the chemical transfers into bloodstream is inconclusive. However, bear in mind that the chemical fumes in the salon will be inhaled by you...and also your hair condition tends to alter during preg, so the chemicals might have an undesired colour effect or damage to your hair. However, I wonder if herbal colour treatments like henna is ok?
Wonder if the ancient chinese gender prediction calendar is accurate then!
