Lian,

Good morning ...

Yesterday took half day MC at 2+pm to go back and rest cos of my bad runny nose, really cant concentrate at work. When I reached home, I went to nap beside my boy who juz fallen asleep. Right half an hr later, he woke up and insist I wake up as well and bring him to the living room to play. Didnt had a good rest till my bedtime at 10pm. But I'm feeling much better today!
 
what happened to my post! aaargh! went out of thread & came back in the evening, it's all gone!

alamak. looks like somebody somewhere doesn't want me to babysit darlest's gal.
 
minky,
He usually nap in the middle of the bed ... I got nowhere else to sleep eh .. hehe ... anyway he spread the flu virus to me de ...
 
Jo, so he is the one who spread the virus to his parents and also the one taking your bed so u can't rest... icic...so Lucas will also pull you up and say "mummy sit up?" if u are lying in bed? and tell u to go outside to play with him?
 
minky,
My hb fell sick bcos he didnt drink enuff water during his biz trip last wk.

Lucas will touch touch mi and call "mummy mummy" till I wake up then say "walk walk".

Sometimes when he is playing and I shut my eyes for awhile ... he use his fingers and try to pull my eyelid open.

Yesterday evening when hb reached home, Lucas was babbling and so active and my hb asked mi "Dont u think he looks like a monkey?" I laughed.
 
Jo, Lucas so cute! pull your eye lid some more... tsk tsk.. kids now a days.. haha...
I guess they are all quite monkey now. Mine will say he is a bad monkey when he does something wrong.. haha..Bt coming from the daddy must be quite funny.

I never prepare anything for my dd1's teachers leh. Last year was her first year in school, and I didn't even remember the occasion. I'm one clueless mum.

3jems
Express employment? good ah? got contact?
 
Aly_nat,
I make it a practise to give all my gal's teachers gift on Teachers' Day. When they were attending CC, I will send a huge hamper over for the Principal and Teachers. Then enrichmenet classes, I will prepare separate gifts. When #1 went to Primary school, more shiong cos still send hamper to CC cos #2 still attending + individual gifts for #1's primary school teachers (only those teaching her) + enrichment teachers.

I always make it a point to give prezzies ever since my girls started childcare. You will be very surprised for CC's, not many parents will send presents. So the CC's teachers and principal always treat my girls extra special.

Then for primary school it's the other way round... everyone will give and if your child dun give, will be the odd one out.

Must know how to 'curry' favour swith the teachers leh... after all they are the ones taking care of my children and marking their papers. hehehehhe

Besides Teacher's Day, I also always send hampers to my girl's childcare during Christmas and CNY.
 
Kiki,
Teachers' Day is on 1st September. Must start to source now to get good bargains. Else last minute sure blur sotong. heheheh...

So far, Express Employment is not bad. After sales servie, they will call you every now and then to check on the maid's progress and if you are happy. Comes to replacement, they are also very prompt. When I had a maid who develop health probs only 1-month after coming in, they did not charge me for her temporary lodging and air-ticket back to Indon. Somemore they helped to find replacement as fast as possible. But becos no suitable ones, they cancelled all my post dated cheques. Nevery charged me anything left from the maid's loan. Berry good service.


Alibaba,
For such cases, can approach the Embassy for special pass to return to Phillippines. But then again, ask your friend to double check on her story yah. Cos I ever got friend kena conned. The maid went back and never came back - produced lots of sob story say mother break down lah, home problems lah, etc. Worse, the maid did not finish her contract. So she had to forfeit the loan $$$ back to the agent. Tell the maid to produce the death certificate'. Say it's required by the embassy lah. This way can verify her story yah.
 
very sleepy ...

ali,
I cant help u cos never encounter before. But I agree with jewels, ask the family to fax over death certificate first.
 
3Jems,
Me, too. Ever since my elder gal started childcare. I will give her teachers presents on Teacher's day, Xmas & CNY. But i did not give to her Principal. I will give her Principal starting fr this yr. heehee. "To curry favour them" cos my 2nd gal will be joining her jiejie soon in Jan 2011.
 
I m shock about the curry favour culture !!!
hahahaha.... It is sooo spicy!

3Jems, hamper? serious? T teachers nowsaday r so pampered!
 
Haaaanoooo....

Jo...

peanut,
Wake up for water is quite normal ... I always gotta do it whenever he make noise in the middle of the night.

Now need to give little pressies to teachers .. I wonder 10yrs down the road, are parents gg to give more expensive pressie to teachers, like jewellery? Haha.
 
actually hor.. those presents to teachers, usually t teachers will give away one. Cos a lot of stuff r pretty useless, and occupy space. They will probably keep handmade cards. Thats wat my teacher friend told me.
 
25岁印尼女佣疑因雇主要把她送回国,一时想不开,竟在回国当天,站在4楼厨房外的平台大闹跳楼超过半小时,

Thats why die die must lock the window grilles when abt to send t maid back...
 
lilian,
My hse got no window grilles .. only window panes. Yes, I know it's dangerous as I have a toddler at home ... only way is to follow my boy round the house.

As for that maid ah, if she really wanna jump, she wld have jumped down and not making a chaos at the kitchen window. Cant stand all these stupid maids.
 
jo, u not considering installing grilles? At least u feel safer.

kiki, nobody response to ur anger venting yest? hehehe.. I oso cannot stand those super KS aunties!
I tell u, whenever i see these ppl, i will laugh it off by thinking 'Haha, look at her, so fat! Pity her'
 
I also do 现场报告 like ah lian:

SINGAPORE: An unemployed man has been sentenced to two years' jail for causing the death of his two-month-old daughter by forcefully rocking her for about 10 to 15 minutes.

This happened on 10 June 2009 in a rented flat near Havelock Road sometime after 9pm.

The Court heard that the 30-year-old man rocked the infant "forcefully" as he was "frustrated" that she was crying and would not go to sleep.

The man's 23-year-old wife came home from work at around 7am the next day and noticed that her baby was "behaving strangely" when she tried to feed her a bottle of milk.

The baby was brought to hospital soon afterwards, and died in the Children's Intensive Care Unit of KK Hospital a week later at around 8am on June 17.

A medical report from KKH revealed that the infant suffered injuries including haemorrhage in the brain and eyes.

It stated that these were most likely caused by a condition known as the "shaken baby syndrome".
