Exactly! It's like discrimination. It's like stopping a loophole to prevent mummies from abusing HL but what if that person has dengue or appendicitis or well, other things? It's written in staff manual orh, so it's confirmed like tht one, they write v clearly.

That's very strict leh. Cuz ML and HL should not be considered interchangable for the reasons u mentioned.

like i mentioned before pple abuse HL before hence some HR are more strict

Actually sometimes I crave outside food, cuz my mum or MIL will cook everyday... Only Fridays and weekends I will eat out, but I will usually cook at least one lunch/dinner during the weekends.

Can you cook on your own at home??? Make something simple like porridge or boil some soup to have with rice??

Lucky you! Must treasure Homecooked food. I also tabao nearly everyday except for te 2 days I go parents or in laws place eat. Then I go mum place will eat ALOT. Lol. Sometimes will cook.. But only weekend or if on mc (ie that day see gynae so mc) will hv time to cook.

do you ladies everyday have home cooked food ah? i everyday either tapao or eat out till very bored. plus now must walk to tb very tiring

My hubby will cook a big portion of food on Sunday night which we will eat for dinner over the week. Lunch we will eat out or tapao. He probably sees cooking homecooked food as an act of love to the LO. After LO's birth, I intend to continue to let him take responsibility over most of the meals since he enjoys cooking anyway and can cook way better than me.

I was like that too, only boil rice, make instant noodles etc. (couldn't even fry an egg coz I most likely would burn it!), until I was in Australia for 3 years+. My gosh, was I inspired to learn cooking there - exciting cooking shows on TV like Masterchef Australia, abundant fresh ingredients in the supermarket, beautiful kitchens and glossy cookbooks/ recipes!!! Cooking is the favorite national pastime there lor. Kids learn to cook at home before they learn maths, lol. Now I can cook basic dishes (mains and desserts) to feed myself if I really have to, although I'm too lazy/busy in SG to really do that.

Men usually pick up cooking (and the love of cooking) overseas where food is more expensive (e.g. Australia) or not as delicious (e.g. parts of the U.S.), and when they miss local food. Over here, sadly, I find the environment is not conducive to pick up home cooking, even if you have the most alluring cookbooks/ recipes, coz it's much cheaper and takes much less time to eat out or tapao than to cook. Unless they have the love of cooking, men will prefer the efficiency of eating out/ tapao-ing over home cooking.

It's very true!! When they are alone and overseas, then they feel compelled to learn how to cook. I mean, it's probably the same for us as well. I also learnt to cook when I was in the UK because it's too exp and too unhealthy to eat out everyday. Hubby studied in SG and never stayed in hostel, and his mum, my MIL is a full time housewife, so no reason for him to learn....

Now back home, I miss the fresh produce in the markets. What we have here is nothing compared to freshly picked sweet strawberries or apples etc. When I went back to UK last year, I actually bought tomatoes, raspberries and rocket leaves back to SG, cuz they are so much cheaper than SG and they taste so good.

Was looking forward to doing the same in Melbourne in October, but the planned trip didn't materialise as hubby fractured his leg and we had to cancel the trip... :( Oh well, there's always next time...

I'll try to cook about twice a week. Can try preparing the ingredients in morning or night before, so that once reach home. Start cooking and be done in 20mins.. haha
Eg, I'll marinate the fish and meat in morning, keep in fridge. Reach home, immediately cook rice & steam tofu&meat together + fry a fish. Simple dishes only. For rice, will cook 2 portions in 1 go, so that 2nd meal of the week is fried rice. Luckily hubby never complain that I cook the same thing every week. :D
 
Bah, it gets more and more depressing as the day wears on...

As if morbidity is not constantly on my mind enough, I got news a very close friend of mine in the US was hospitalised today for kidney infection and kidney stone. The infection is under control but she has pulmonary hypertension so her heart may not be able to cope with the burden of surgery to remove the stone. I think my LO can feel that mummy is worried and sad. :(

You see ah, if my hubby can cook he can do that, cuz he can finish early and his office is very flexi hours, so he can reach home by 6plus... I'm the one with more fixed hours and I usually leave office later, so by the time I reach home, he'll probably be dying of hunger...

BUT he can't cook, so it's down to me. Hahahah. But I'm not complaining, cuz I do enjoy cooking and he does the dishes.

Also our parents/in laws places are between our workplace and home so we just pop by to say hi, and have dinner before going home....
 
so good got home cooked food. i only sometimes go back my mum place for dinner. an hour more to knock off and already thinking what to tabao for dinner. and the walking to coffeeshop. :(

Yes the cord is scary.. I nearly lost my #1 as his cord was around his neck during delivery... already alert the on duty doc to request for c section when we feel it's not right and labour taken too long... (more to instinct ) but was told to wait longer.

Very very lucky my son is alright.... else I dun know how to survive...

That time I still dun know what's going on... it was my hubby who help me delivered my son with cord around his neck with only 1 midwife around no nurse no other helpers. I guess my hubby more shock than me as baby was practically snatch away from his hands with no explanation n suddenly many many nurse come in..... some more it's our #1.. totally no experience.

Guess that day high volume of deliveries n I am under subsidise so no doc was assigned to me. The on duty doc didn't look at me. Juz walk past n pop in to sign doc near the door area n walk away. Thus he juz brush off our request.

Well thank goodness your #1 is okay... That's all that matters in the end, even though reading from a 3rd party perspective, I would have made a big fuss about the lack of attention on you...
