morning young mummies!
pai-seh, i was the one who said haru & fifi birthday also this month after lilian but i forgot when it came around. happy belated birthday girls! fifi, how was yesterday's talk? the centre for fathering guy is good, right?
btw, who thinks tt fifi looks like the badminton champ zhang ning?
jenn: in case i forget, happy birthday to u too! on wednesday.
haru: the 9 SAP schools r dual first language schools. but nowadays, the distinctiveness is a bit blurred cos almost all primary schools offer dual first language after pri 4. anyway, the standard of chinese in an SAP school is sickeningly hi so my son is having a lot of problems coping. u did not study in singapore? were u overseas as a child?
minkybear: u were on leave on friday?
yen: hmmm... i wonder why all MIL have this thing abt animal shows.
my insurance is part of my IVF cycle. MOH makes it compulsory for all couples to buy it. but only covers NICU. special care nursery & ordinary nursery all not covered. tt's y i was so sad the other day. but yesterday i got a piece of good news, i'm allowed to take B2+ ward. so the babies' bills will be at B2 rate too. so happy, i rather save the money for their education. this is inside info from my doc. even his nurses know it. it'll be announced at rally tonite. govt will allow downgrading of neonates in NICU if transferring to govt hospitals. & they'll subsidise cost of IVF. but he didn't tell me the other details which mildy is interested in.
Bear guru: *pat pat* don't tire yourself out ok? i realised tt many of u gals r determined not to get a full time maid after giving birth which is good. don't want to influence all but do keep your options open, ok? btw, there is a shop in KKH called mom essentials which sells hypoallergenic stuff for babies. but bad news, lots of the products still contain parabens. i bot 2 bottles of baby bath & didn't read the ingredients properly. nvm, i have 4 so i'll probably use it up quite quickly.
jynnsan, misary & Bear: just a k-po word. don't be superwoman & do everything yourself. when your kids r bigger, u really need husband to do his fair share especially for jynnsan & Bear since u'll definitely be having more later. i realised tt my husband is so bad tempered during this pregnancy cos i have been doing EVERYTHING for him since day 1. had help from maids at sproradic intervals but most of it is done by me especially the child rearing part. before this pregnancy, he never even kept his own clothes himself. if the husbands r not used to doing their fair share, they will be overwhelmed when they have to do even more than tt. which is what happened to my husband. thank goodness the maid is coming next week.
joyce, happy, misary: last year, when my youngest cousin was born, his dad bot his 6 yr old brother a present & told him it's from di di to ease the pain of not being only child anymore. i think it's a good idea. imagine a chinese-educated foreman can think of doing it but my so-called educated husband thinks it's a waste of money.
