Jes,
*pat-pat* Aiyohz... the army is like tat one lah. So did you celebrate V's birthday earlier before daddy went reservist? Wat was your birthday theme?
 


3jems,
Wah, u really maids' guru leh. The answer u give also so professional. If I ever need to hire maid, I will call u for advice
happy.gif
how's it going with your dd1 exams?

Ah Jes,
The army tell the men, must put army first before all else leh. Otherwise, we have nothing else. Keep yourself busy, 17 days will pass very quickly. As for V, she probably won't realize daddy's absence much, yet.

Olwen,
Me no good lah. Now exam stress. Only started revision with aly since last sat. Realize that she has lots to catch up. Jialat, dunno can meet the grades of the other school or not
sad.gif
. Kai's exams over, right?

Potty training
I'm glad to announce that nat is potty trained! Started 3 weeks back, been accident free for 2 weeks now. Hope this continues! Wonder when she can go totally diaper free, even at night.

Have a nice day, All.
 
nut,
Take care. Give ice-cream if she has ulcer in her mouth and cooling stuff(barley or lin yang) too. My son caught HFMD from CCC last mon and had recovered but no fever.
 
3jems
yes we had a mini party last sat. super early celebration for V.
happy.gif

Hope your gals are recovering well.

alynat
so clever of Nat to be potty trained! V till now still refuses to sit on a potty or the toilet seat. so headache leh i dun know what else i can do...

nut
take care, hope nini gets well soon.

the haze is back again. do take care of yrselves and the little ones.
 
aly_nat: u telling me. last nite, kai got caning from his dad cos he wasn't ready to leave for tuition when his dad came home. aly definitely can't be as bad as him.

ah nut: aiyo, i know exactly how u feel. take care.

ah jes: happy birthday to V.

tired & stressed this week.
 
Wahahaha really so quiet!! Me so busy these days lor.. And my super big screen also allows not much privacy liao. Why not we plan for a mummies dinner gathering sometime in nov easier to tok.. Tsktsktsk
 
morning!!

really very quiet these few days... cos lian not around oso.

olwen
thanks! planning another small celebration end of the month. lucky V.

nut
so small screen sounds better for this purpose right, haha

hv a great wkend ahead! i'm gonna be a lonely woman facing my notti child this wkend...
 
Olwen,
Dun envy. I hv my share of frustrating moments with aly, too.

Jes,
Will this be your first time minding V all on your own for a weekend? It's good bonding time, and u may just realize that it's not that impossible to look after V. Maybe u wanna allocate some physical activity to tire her out.

Mummies,
Be mindful of the bad air quality, dun let your kiddos run ard outside too much. Think today's PSI is in the unhealthy range again
sad.gif
. Those with sensitive/weak constitute, be careful.

Happy birthday to all oct n nov baby. All your bb turned/turning 2. Mine still gotta wait abit more.
 
alynat
yes considered to be, previously with maid's help, now it's really just me... ya i know it's not impossible but dun really know what i can do with her, facing each other. think i will be more tired out than her, haha

my mil will pop by 2mrw eve so it's not too bad afterall.
 
hi 3jems,

thks for the advise! tats wat i tot so b4 deciding to give honey water to my gal. i think fresh fruit juice is still the best as compared to sweet drinks. i dun mind tat grandparents spoil grandchildren but sometimes hv to consider their health 1st b4 intro "adult" food to them. eg. nw my mil want to intro bird nest for my gal... sighz! i scare of her getting allegies or indigestion if ever consume it. do they ever tot tat bird nest is just like chicken essence? i'll rather wait till she grow bigger 1st.

well i tend to feel frustrated in tis way bcoz my parents & in-laws r not the main caretakers. so they wont understand wat we parents r going thru when kids r sick. (even though i know tat they've been parents b4) anyway nowadays is so much different from the olden days. juz like milk powder... they always 'blame' on dha & etc... tats y harder to handle active kids. juz speechless anyway...
 
Hello! Ah Lian is back!
Sianz leh.. gog back to work after 1 wk of holiday . Double blue

Jes, how was ur wkend w V ?
Muz b tiring but fufilling.
 
ah lian: welcome back! tell us how's ur trip.

ah jes: ya, how's the weekend?

ah aly_nat: not only envy u w aly, also envy u w nat. R can hardly say anything even now. still babbling in her gibberish & WON'T TELL us when she has poo-ed. sit in her dirty diaper for ages till somebody smell it. my boys at least will tell us for the big biz. how did u train nat?
 
Good morning mommies...

I'm finally back in officed after being on Mc from last Tuesday till Friday. The flu bug was terrible. My body was sching, my throat was inflammed, my nose was runny.... *list of complains goes on*


Jeanne,
Totally understand where you're coming from. Till today, I still find myself telling my parents, cannot to give baby this... cannot give baby that... Never-ending lah. Worse is when baby falls sick, then they said cos I gave her tibits. Haiyohz. But cos I've gone thru all these 3x now, guess I'm more numb loh. Plus I'm sssoo exhausted from work, taking care of the kids and handling stupids maid issues till cannot be bothered anymore. *faintz*


Aly_nat,
Aiyohz... I'm getting all stressed over J1's exams. No matter how much we grill her... her maths is terrible! Dunno why, but she just can't seem to understand certain concepts. Her problem sums are the worse! Thankfully her English and Chinese still ok except for the comprehension part. Though she is getting the hang of where to 'find' the answers in the passage. But her grammer... *aarrgghh*


Peanut,
How is your gal now? Hope she has recvoered from HFMD.
 
hello!!

ah lian
welcome back, we missed you... this thread was so quiet last week w/o u around

lian/olwen
wkend generally ok (though tired), mil came over on the 2 evenings. then on sat eve when V saw mil came only, she kept clinging on to her and cried. i was so frus that i scolded her, put her on cold turkey and i beat her on her thighs a few times, tat was the only time she made me go crazy, otherwise i would say she's pretty well-behaved! haiz... then after i beat beat her i felt guilty and went to check if i left marks on her thighs anot. sometimes hate myself for being so short-tempered...
 
Jes,
hahhaha.... I know how that feels. I've lost my cool countless times and gave my gals several hard smacks on the buttocks and thighs. Then after that felt like such a terrible, lousy mommy. Especially on days when I'm feeling PMS, then all 3 keep screaming, whining and fighting all day long. *aarrgghh* Then I go completely berserk. Haiyohz.... after the smacking, I start to hate myself for not staying as cool as cucumber and being a picture perfect mommy. Sigh.........


Hey... got a question... any mommies doing part time as Real Estate agent? Cos I'm thinking of doing this in addition to my full time job to earn more $$$ for my household. Living expenses in SG is getting way too high. Need to find ways to cut my credit debt and increase my liquidity.
 
3jems, oh dear... try sucking on a sweet
U got time to do PT agent?

Jes, I think all of the mummies here go thru' that! Except Olwen maybe, cos i nvr hear her loses her cool. hahaha
U miss the noise-maker me ah? =p
 
Lilian,
Me sucking on those preserved prunes now. Feeling slightly better...

Yah lor... no choice got to do PT agent else money no enough. Wat to do.... staying in SG is getting more expensive.
 
Lian: Hehe you are back!!
happy.gif
Post your pix!!
happy.gif


Jes/3Jems: I guess all mothers get all riled up some time or other! I also screamed many times before sigh...not a pleasant sight to say the least.

3Jems: You still got time to do part time?! I really dunno how you manage with 3 kids plus work full time. Even more for Olwen! Pei fu you all!
 
hi hi everyone..
hope all is well & gd too..time really passes by soo fast..the kiddos are turning 2 very very soon (or some have even turned 2)..it just seems like yest we popped..i misss their newborn stage..but do not think i hv the strength for a 3rd kid for now..hehe..

hi lian..
let me know when u hv uploaded ur pix too..i cant wait to see them too..u r already soo slim & if u r gg for a diet..i think i can just breathe in air soon..lol..

minky..
sorry i cld not find the item u wanted..sorry...my only time to shop was only at the last night where i simply grab-pay-go..lol..didnt even hv time to ponder much..
 
Who has mickey minnie mouse cake topper?

Wtan, gladgal, yes yes i brought t foto cd w me today, hope have time to upload to FB later.
Gladgal, will giv Senkei foto priority :)
Will u b gg for t round course at hakone?
 
ah lian: like wtan says, u better not go on diet. thin women generally have problems conceiving or else more at risk of miscarriage. ahem. happened to me.

yup, me & jes missed u
happy.gif


ah jes: u can do it. i used to love spending time w kai all alone cos i always had maid. hmmm, do i lose my cool? well, not at the little ones but occasionally @ kai & a lot @ my mum & hubby. i think for u gals, it's the first child so a lot tt u donno frustrates u. u'll b more relaxed when it comes to the 2nd one.
biggrin.gif


glad_gal: 3jems is tough but not me, i got maids leh. my job is to just bring money home & stay out of my mother's way.
happy.gif
 
Lian: can't wait see your senkei photos
happy.gif
) hehe yup shld be getting the Hakone free pass and do the loop thingee!

Olwen: ha aiyah got maids also a source of challenge itself mah :p Plus after work you have to deal with all your kids too. I also hope when I have 2nd child more 'zen' also
 
3jems
i can't compare with u leh, u got 3 kids to deal with so it's normal that you lose your cool. but me only 1 and already can't tahan.
hope u r feeling better today. go for light meals and avoid oily/spicy food. hv ample rest too. take care.

ah lian
think i oso never hear u got lose yr cool on K leh, got meh?
i got mickey&minnie cake toppers, u wan? they r from last yr's V's 1st b'day if u dun mind. got pics on the FB if u want to view them.

gladgal
aft when i cooled down then i tink i felt like a seow charbo when i was screaming.. and not only i screamed, i threw things as well!

olwen
frankly speaking, i rather dread being alone with V, cos i very scare i can't control myself if she gets on my nerves, but i do enjoy the moments when she's behaving sweet and guai. it's a mixed feel lor. 2nd one? really dun dare to think abt hving another one.
 
Good morning mommies...

Still feeling nauseous... smell oily food stuffs or cheesy things, I wanna puke! Then still got runny nose and some body aches. Aiyohz.... cannot tahan this flu bug.


Jes,
hahahaha.... it does not matter if you got 1 or 3 kids lah. The minute the child keeps whining, screaming or throwing tantrums, we mommies will loose our cool lor. Especially when we already tired juggling work, home and them. *lolz*


glad_gal,
Should be able to juggle PT job. Cos the agent job is mainly to conduct viewings at night and weekends mah. Most prob will work with a partner who can help me with some paper work during the weekdays if required. Will be tough at some points... but boh pianz. Family need the extra income... plus I intend to become agent full time in future.
 
lilian..
so sad wef yest my co blocked FB le..i can only view it back home le..so sad..
sad.gif


aiyo..u nvr buy any minnie mouse cake topper frm SEA?

olwen..
oh..i didnt knw that thin women have such risk..i only know too fat like me also cannot strike easily..

glad_gal..
u gg to Tokyo too? u can also chk out my 3rd trip to japan's album in FB on Hakone..r u bringing the kids too? enjoy..
 
3Jems, r u ....?
Jes, can borrow?
Yes i do smack K de. And same like u, will feel lousy aft tat, esp seeing the red marks on her
Wtan, i didn't see t toppers at SEA leh. Even if i do.. they will be too expensive for me to buy!
 
3jems
right lor, i guess i flared up oso cos i was really tired too. i just hope i can curb my temper better the next time...

lian
at the point of time when im smacking V, i can feel tears forming in my eyes too. damn.. it's a contradict feel.
of cos u can borrow. when do u need them? mail to u? i hv the full set of 6 pcs u wan all of them or just wan the pair of mickey & minnie?
 
lian
just thought of it - if u dun find it too troublesome, u might wan to collect the toppers from my MIL's hse during yr lunch hr. my MIL stays near hougang point. wat u tink? else if u wan me to mail to u oso can.
 
lian..
no la..at least the designs are more unique too..but there again shd be more towards halloween theme too..i did not get anything from there coz it was more on queueing for the attractions in land & it was super crowded when we went..but i love the cooling breezy feel..
 
Jes, i can pick t toppers up during lunch time from your MIL, or after work. Dunno if convenient for her. I tink i borrow all 6 first, cos i dunno wat design of cake i will be getting. hehehe... I jus know I want mickey minnie for K.
Actually my mum has a better method, she roll up some papers (usually some useless pamphlets) and use it to smack K. It's not painful on K and doesn't have to use our palms directly.
 
Lilian,
hahahha... no lah. Confirmed not cos no action for few months liaoz.
biggrin.gif



Jes,
Yah... me too. I find that I flare up more easily when I'm having PMS or am really tired out. Then the slightest thing will set me off. Worse is when I start to argue with everyone around me... then I start to throw things. After the whole episode, I sometimes feel like I'm going crazy and in depression. Haiz.
 
lian
lunchtime or aft work is fine. she's at home the whole day so shdn't be a prob. just let me know when and roughly wat time so i can tell her to expect u. ok i will pass all the 6pcs to u.
haha, yr mum still got time to roll paper ah. u know lah, usually smacking kids is impromptu de so using our own hands seem to be a most convenient way, haha..
 
3gems,
Oh dear .. are u having stomach flu?

I'm not too sure if you could get it from the pharmacist, but dun think its available Over The Counter.
 
Jo,
I tink maybe I'm having stomach flu. Tink later I go consult doctor. Haiz... but strangely I no fever leh. Then again... maybe no fever cos I've been on anti-biotics?? *scratch head* Maybe the haze is affecting me....
 
Jes, i will let u know
happy.gif
Thanks

gladgal, have u planned t round course? I suggest u start with t Tozan bus first, followed by Pirate ship.
 
3gems: I see... Jia you then! We really need to take on many hats ...hiaz

Wtan: yup! Tokyo n Kyoto
happy.gif
I wld see your photos tks!

Lian: haven't planned the route leh :/ ok will go read up. See which one nearer hotel senkei?!
 
Hello mummies

mummies...
recently, realli bad weather....pls tkc ya.

Wow...all must be busy planning for our kids' 2nd birthday
happy.gif

As for J, I will buy a simple cartoon charactor cake either barney or mickey to celebrate at his CC and bring him out to play
happy.gif


Once again Happy 2nd Birthday to all the toddlers
happy.gif
 
glad_gal: funny, i've never had any desire to smack these 3. i think being an old mummy has its advantages, less energy (& anger) to flare up. w kai i was so impatient all the time.

ah jes: try lah. never know. when u suddenly wan a 2nd one, may be other factors stopping u. now's the time when she's still young.

3jems: i was going to suggest the same thing as lian
happy.gif
take care.

RCB: u take care too.

wtan: haha, u always describe urself in tt funny way.

how's my lian? & my aly_nat? i know where aly_nat is - busy at home coaching aly for exams. ah, young mummies, u all will c this in 5 yrs time. my ordeal is over already, actually kai's results r not as bad as i thought. at least for mcq.
 
Gd Morning Olwen!

Where u mummies bring ur kid to on their birthday huh?

Gladgal, the loop thing takes at least half a day, so u got to plan carefully. I started at 11am and ended 4:30pm. With a kid, u will take a longer time. Dun go on wkends and PH oh...
 
Good morning mommies,

Yeah! Me feeling better now. Went see doctor yesterday and confirmed I had stomach flu. Taken some anti-nausea medication. Better liaoz. At least no more puking. hahhaah...
