(2009/03) March 2009 MTBs

Queenie,

I know what you mean. SAHM do get the sneer from some when we told them our "profession". i do get it from some women as well.

I told hubby, if he ever made a comment about me staying at home and not working.. i will go back tot he corporate world and leave Bree with my mum.

My hubby didn;t want me to work for the time being cos of his crazy travelling schedule. i just hinted him that i would like to consider working cos i don't know if i am cut out to be a SAHM.

Haiz.. he did told me that if i really wanna go back to work, he will have to quit his job and look for a local based job. he knows that i am a workaholic and can work long hours without food. Now that i have Bree, he is worried that i will still be the same and Bree will not have any parent to play with if he keeps his current job. if that happens, i know financially will not be a good as what we have now.

Haiz..i also wonder.. i am thinking about all these.. is it because i am physically and mentally drained caring for bree. got to grit my teeth and bear with it.. My only reward is when she flash her toothless grin and chuckes at me.
 


missy:: hugs hugs!! ren yi shi, feng ping lang jing! you can do it!

alfafa:: hey! haha have it in the sept hols ley.. maybe 9th sept cause me and missy meeting.. haha so we can meet at your place. making hair accessories should be quite fast.. so can bring bb la. hohoho. I can bring my stuff, u charge me for consultation. haha! i totally have not DONE anything to the stuffs we bought! and i am still buying accessories!! i am dooooomed.

irene:: KSPate, think can ask queenie? think her hubby can get for you?
 
sorry huh ... MIA for a while cos MIL came to visit. Was busy showing off to her about Gracie sitting and standing. Heeeeee now I am free at last
 
Lenny,
Can feel your tiredness from caring for Bree. I guess mothers are such amazing people, we get all excited and happy just by looking ar our babies smiling at us and we forget all the tiredness from caring for them. Cheer up ya, believe everything would turn out fine and bree can definitely cheer you up cos she is such a sweetie.

Cindy,
wah lao I was still thinking you need to charge me instead to make headband. Hehehe yah will be in September lah. No time for this whole month. Super busy.

Misscandy,
yah yah no problem. But bear with me huh. No concrete class plan yet. Need to work out a proper itiniary, instructions and etc. Am planning to teach making fabric buttons, roses, heart and round yo yos for embellishments. Plus headband stuff.

Quite fun.

Ann,
oh dear. Hope baby K is feeling better now. So heart pain for you. :-(

Misscandy,
what happened? They are giving you the sh*Ts because you tendered? I also felt that I suddenly became a 2nd class citizen after I tendered. Aiiii hang in there babe
 
queenie,

scrolled up just now to see your post re hubby. Wah lao I feel like kicking him in his butt for you leh. So unappreciative of your efforts. I am amazed by how you packed all in in fact and yet he is not able to show his appreciation. Kick him!

Lenny, Queenie, Pepper
tell me about it man. But then I was also guilty of that before. I myself had a hard time accepting that I am a SAHMTB back then ... like so funny when people ask me what I do and I could only go ... I am going to be a stay at home mom. :p Had my identity tied to my job, my position and "rank". I mean, tsn't that just so pathetic? I think alot of us Singaporeans are like this. I have learnt the hard way that I am much more than these shallow and shortlived pleasures and I am glad I did.

3 cheers to women, and one more to SAHMs!
 
Queenie,

about cream parlour.. i just ordered accessories from her for Bree. kekeke.

I hope they turned out really good then " I will Be Back" kakakaka
 
alfafa,
sewing i cannot .. but i'm interested in making hair acc for little Moiiesha .. makes her more look like a girl .. haha
 
Lenny,
Cream Palour is good. I saw her accessories, very very very nice. Can't say the same for her other items. There are a heck of alot of people makign their own hair accessories for sales now. I just bought two from a Feb mommy who is new at this business. The clips are so cure but I don't think they are infant size though. Bought them to support her craft business plus they are very pretty too.
 
missy ... think of little Kirsten & she will makes u smile & kick all Sh*t away .. Hang in & u r almost there .. cheers *o*
 
sinmey,
yah so fun hor. aiyayaya now I feel like dropping all my sewing to make embellishments liao. In fact, the stuff I am planning to teach is not just for hair accessories per se. Once you know how to make those things you can use them to decorate ANYTHING from pillow cases to bags to hair accesories to dolls to cloths to brooches ... anything you like.

wahahah now I don't even feel like doing any animal dolls liao. Hahahahah terrible me. My interest is almost always so short lived!
 
vernice, we can see the bugs with naked eyes, unless is dustmites which are invisible. i got frens asking me if they will bite me and lay eggs under my skin.. *faintz* btw, hope you dun get to take the domestic flights in india, my colleagues was telling me they almost suffocated in the plane and there were many many mosquitoes like nobody's business..

princesskris, your friend is good, maybe becos he is the boss, that's y he really check all areas very thoroughly, he did not give me a FOC spray, but a 10% discount on the 2nd visit and a longer warranty period which i appreciate very much. i threw away some carpets which got the bugs on it but he still continue to spray a lot of insecticides on them, when i told him not to waste the sprays since i m discarding, he then told me it will be disastrous if pple picks up and bring home. this is professional ethics ba...

alfafa, i m interested in the making of hair accesories for bb gals, got some materials but dunno where to start with. remember to include me hor... btw, how's ur friend who got the same situation as me?

irene, you can make some for maybe your next one?? hahaha...

sportyger, i cant sleep well for the past 3 weeks.. esp when the itch was at its peak during 3am-4am..
 
Shopping on Champs Elysees!

Hi my dear shopping mummies,
due to overwhelming response from my shopaholic friends, I now have only 10 slots left for Longchamp bags and 3 slots left for big items from LV/Chanel/Hermes/Chloe/Goyard. A few slots for small items like wallets are fine too.

If you wish to reserve your slot for sure, do PM me with model number, name, colour etc. by Friday midnight. My friend will confirm prices over the weekend but it's typically 15-25% savings. Please give me your mobile number too! I may text you 24-26th Sept if your item is OOS or there any last min query but weird hours so be warned he he

I will need deposits to be made asap so I can have time to collate and see if I need to change any extra euros. Also will be quite busy before we leave so want to start early.

Will be away 7th-29th Sept.
 
candace, hang on there!!! it's like that when one tendered.. my company normally will request the staff to leave within 24hours if possible without any compensation to them. if the staff insists on compensation, then we will offload his/her duties and arrange him/her to do some data entry stuffs so as to pass time.

alfafa, i guess i still prefer to take some time off to make up, wear nice nice out of the house so that i dun feel so isolated from the society... cannot imagine what i will look like if i was a SAHM.
 
pumpkin,
rem to come and collect your kessler. :p

Keron,
actually that friend is none other than pumpkinseed. Pumpkin said they had no choice but to throw away the mattress, among other things.
 
keron,
you will look like us lah ... yummy mommies! heeeeeee or at least on the days when we dress up to meet with one another. On other days it is messy hair, stinky curdled milk smell, uncoordinated clothes, greasy face ... yikes ..
 
alfafa,
that MED EX anti mosquito patch is it for home use daily? cos my bb got quite few bites all over her head and legs at home. But this cant seems to be stick on all the times at home rite? any suggestion.
 
alfafa, speak for yourself woman. I initially couldn't be bothered to dress up etc. But I decided to make a halfway effort and at least drag out the old pre-preg bottoms to wear - woo hoo skinny jeans. Got myself a cute 2nd hand diaper bag too. Still no make up and crappy hair though.
It helped me feel a little less frumpy desperate housewife, more yummy mummy
 
vernice

oh muz ask ur hb go back to visit joel more often... they are smart babies , they moreor less should prefer those they see everyday?

RE: NAP at high chair
my helper told me that baby Violette has slept for 2 hours yesterday for her afternoon nap at high chair, which is very rare, usually only 30 min or 45 min. this morning, she slept again for 1 hour !!! I guess high chair has soft cushion, also it's slanted like bouncy chair... so, maybe baby was more comfortable than the cot bed.... BUT THEN, I was a bit worried coz maybe she can fall down, maybe she will not like her cot later if she like this.... I'm happy that baby get naps better but then not happy that it's on the high chair.... tada tada any advice ?

RE: Cold feet
I'm using Sleeping bag with long sleeve bodysuit (but no leg & foot cover) coz 0.5 tog at 26 temp, airconditioned. but then ever y morning, when I take baby out from Sleeping bag, she has a cold feet. Should I put her on socks ???
