famela,
dont dare to sleep too long. later cant sleep at night.
did u watch Madagascar? u know Gloria the hippo? she likes a bigger male hippo? his name is moto.

motomoto: "hi, my name is moto, its so nice you wanna say it twice. motomoto!"

bwahahahhaahhaa

i gotta find that clip on youtube and post it there.

 

[famela]

hrd: ahhh i c.. from madagascar..

haha ok. you're farnie la.

ladies, i need some inputs about travelling to US. a bit confused after reading/hearing about the passport requirements from different sources. M

My question: are biometric passports a MUST?

anyone been to the US very recently and can enlighten me?

all along i was convinced that passports issued before oct 2006 no need to be biometric. but after hearing from others, i am not too sure. my fren even told me that there's been a new change about 2 months ago. will call the us embassy and ica helpline tomoro morning. in the meantime, anyone here has any idea?

TIA!

 

[fifidoog]

ah found it!

i think i don't mind being "gloria" round and cute. but i said i'm motomoto cos the name is funny. but also meant that i'm "up-sized".

enjoy!!!

 

[fifidoog]

famela,
i think you need. that's why we changed ours to biometric. and now need visa to go to US. u flying northwest right? i think its website will have something on it. in fact, if u booked online, you will receive an email from them on the new requirements. cos i'm on their frequent flyer program. they sent something out recently. but i deleted cos i wasn't planning to go US anytime soon.

if u did it thru travel agent they will be able to advice u anyhow.

famela,
best to be kiasu ask again abt the biometric passport. cos i think it takes slightly longer to process. u travelling end of this month somemore right? better double check hor. if not later they dont let u cross immigration how? somemore u know they can be quite racist right?
last trip my HB kena sent into the room. immigration officer was just being an ass. so i told them off! hmph! try bully my honey!!! hmph hmph!!!

 

[chnyle]

Hi i am not very active here, anyway i will be giving birth in mid-Oct. How do i add my details in the table?

 

[famela]

HRD: emailed them oredi. They say no need leh. As long as mine issued before oct 2006, no need bio pp. Adil's issued nov 06 so his is oredi bio pp. I read and read the link they gave me to be doubly2 sure. Hope i got it right la. Posted the gist on my blog for reference in future too. they say for mine as long as machine-readable can liao. No further requirements. Oso jus checked wif my mom who's there now still and she oso cleared customs wif a normal pp. So phewh! Can't imagine the hassle of going down to make my pp. Thanks, gal!

Hi chnyle!

Wen's your edd? I oso can't rem how to update the table in here. Tried to do it yest and table went all over the place.. Hee. Maybe you can provide your info den our dearest miemie can help you update?

Miemie can help rite? Sowie, i arrow you! But you v fast la

[famela]

[astro_pro]

HAPPY BDAY HRD!!!

 

[pinkiemie]

thanks famela.. work isnt getting better at all.. my cheena colleague who went on 1 month unpaid leave after her 3 weeks leave back to china, has extended her unpaid leave for another ONE WHOLE MONTH! really dunno wth is wrong with her.. my boss has asked another woman to learn the ropes from me, but this woman has been acting busy day in day out, making it impossible for me to teach her at all.. how to get better like this? but at least i still have this forum to come into and rant, and supportive family and frens.. so it aint too bad now.. still surviving (for the time being only)...

 

[tryphena]

hi mummies, i m a new mummy too.... cn I join this thread?

 

[aloevera08]

roxie: congrats!!! can pass me some of your 'baby boy' atm?? hahhaa...

 

[jojolpp]

Juz call up MOM to check, if i kanna retrench b4 i rch 7 month pregnant, the company will nt compensate me the 4 months maternity leave at all. Unless is a dismissal then 4 months pregnant, company will hv to pay u. I found the rule very funny lor, if the company really dun wan u coz u pregnant, they sure use the word RETRENCHMENT instead of dismissal so they dun hv to pay u any maternity leave at all. Wat is the different between retrenchment &amp; dismissal, both all mean lose job rite....really hope i can still tahan untill i rch 7 months, if not i wont nt get a single cents at all.....sian

 

[fifidoog]

Astro,
Thanks thanks! Ssshhh so old already dont tell pple...

[keropi]

Hi,
Haven't been active on the thread though I do read the entries.
My EDD is 31 Oct 09.
Just got my OSCAR result and the risk is 1:17. So sad now. We going to my gynae tmr to discuss abt the result. Actually, when we saw the scan yday at TMC, we know it's alreay borderline cos it's abt 3mm. But with blood test and age, the risk adds up to v high!
I hope everything will turn out well. This is my 2nd preg, and we really wanted to have this 2nd bb. This is a v difficult preg, with MS and spotting etc.. and now this...
In my 1st preg, the triple test result also not gd so went for amnio. My girl also 3yrs old already and we thought it's time to add a sibling. sigh...

 

[jojolpp]

hope: but ur tummy will grow bigger &amp; bigger each month, hw to keep from them? Normally after 5 months, tummy will grow very fast one, unless u r like me FAT &amp; big size type la...if u belong to skinny type, very difficult to nt to let them know....

 

[hope_hope]

Yes, agree with Famela must celebrate birthday this year for all 1st time mummies! cos next year will be different oredi...

 

[hope_hope]

Jo~ i belong to the slightly petite type (getting fleshy these days though!). so far still can cover lah.. see how it goes! i told my hubby every month i muz save $1k just in case i dont get confirmed if they know im pregnant! so if that happens... at least still can tide thru lor... easier to save now since i cant go party/KTV anymore ;p

Prepare for the worse, but pray for the best! what come may!

 

[aloevera08]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HRD!!!!!

just wondering, which one of you here is lydia lee???
