& there is this stupid ruling tat 1 need at least 20k in CPF at tat age b4 1 can actually draw any $ from it.

You hardly see that in Tsuen2 or Gem of Life sis #1 or Chen Yulian (even!). I mean, look at the ch55 10pm show. Main 2 actresses are not SYTs wor! I also like main actress in Rosy Business.

Karen, Joanne,
U two going to JG this coming Monday? I am going for 10am class at Evans Road branch, Chinese playnest. I cant call into the Forum branch or else Forum branch more convenient. Which branch u going?
Baby development:
For those bb who pass their 1st birthday, do u find that their development is so much faster nowadays? I teach 头 for 1 day n Kai Tong can point to head liao. But b4 her 1st birthday, I teach 手 for 2 weeks, she still giggles n put up her whole hand instead. Haha...
Also, she can walk very steadily while me having her 1 hand after 1 day at MY GYM yesterday. She cant master this even if I do tat every day with her since she is 10 months.
I guess their brain capacity is exploding now. Hope I din short-change her. Hehe...

<font color="119911">this is the file PG will send to u once u confirm order with them online (copy from other thread) :</font>
------------------------------------------------
We do our best. With thriving road conditions (congestion despite paying ERPs) in Singapore, it is beyond our control if it takes a longer time for the orders to be delivered. As such, the customer is still liable for payment and it does not constitute any refund on the cake price or any form of compensation, even if the cake is declined (see clause (g)). “No, we did not purposefully be late to make our customers panic and cry… …”
All cakes are handmade and with that, there may be some elements of human touches which may differ from the picture catalogues. PGC reserves the right to change any ornaments which are subjected to availability. “No, please do not tell us that one’s 1 year old child can tell the difference….we know they can’t…”
Presenting your invoice during cake collection will assist us in presenting you with the correct cake. You help us, we help you. If you don’t, please perform the following:
Fill up “I Didn’t Bring Invoice” slip at our counter
Say a prayer that we find your cake
REPEAT: “I must bring invoice next time” x 3 AND Good luck… …
Types of Cake (Alcohol, Texture of Lava Flow Chocolate Cake)
Some of the cakes are alcohol infused and some are not. In addition, some ranges of our cakes have a different texture (i.e., Lava Flow Chocolate Cake that has a stiffer texture as to sponge cake). You can ask us to recommend a cake to suit your palette and we will gladly help. No, PGC is not deserving of the following comments actually mentioned by some customers:
1. “The hardest cake on earth and can knock the wall down” (we tried and the wall is still standing)
2. “The lousiest cake my relatives and I ever eaten” (no comments, to each his/her own, really)
3. “I can’t believe the newspaper wrote about your company” (ST DID write about this cake)
4. “I should write to the media and let the whole world know about your poor quality” (try the book “Cakes 101”)

TraCe,
I think my hubby is the only person in this world who think that PG dun have attitude problem. Haha... But tat day when I go down to PG to take a look at their design, I talk to their boss. He is in fact a very nice guy, think he closes one eye about his staff bad attitude.
Joanne,
I see.
XY,
U going this Sunday, 3pm? Me too. Play & Learn class. U also?
Tweety,
U can add more kits here: http://www.artscow.com/Gallery/KitGallery.aspx
Remember to add free kits or else u got to pay extra when u check out. But if u really like the paid kits, once u pay for it, it is forever free for u. Also, for the free kits, they are onli free for certain period but once u add them to ur account, it is forever free for u to use. So I got time, I will go add in free kits. They add on new kits quite frequently.
I recommend u do up the mini coin purse. Cause now got promotion. Buy 1 get 1 free, free shipping also. At US$3.99. As for the size, I actually use it to put my EZ linkcard.
Cheerbear,
Hope u dun mind me kaypoh. Is ur MIL always so trouble making type b4 u marry her son?
I find that our babies, oops, toddlers know which side to take. Haha... My mother dun like my FIL cause he is super stingy towards me during my pregnancy. He din even give a small token or ang pow during my gal's full month celebration. Then my mum always like to complain to me in front of my gal. Will say things like ur Ah-gong not good to u etc etc to my gal.
End up my gal everytime see my FIL, never give him 好脸色. She will stare at him with those fierce look. She is usually not like that. Guess she think my FIL is a baddie. Haha... My gal is a hot chilli padi, she wun cry when my FIL touch her head or hold her hand, she AH at him. Guess she takes the side of my mum, her favourite person in the world. Maybe Shawn also like that towards ur MIL.
Can check with u about Royce Kids. Feel like bringing my gal there later. Or else, going to Peek-a-boo to peek a boo. Haha...

I dun bother asking. She says catalog is there so I just take myself. Haha... Heck care such ppl.
Trace,
Their lychee martini is excellent! I dun really like triple chocolate, too rich. I prefer the chocolate hazelnut crunch.
Blur,
