ima,
yup its coming to a month since i tender.
cepat eh...
yalah...they interviewed me then said they prefer chinese speaking.
so irritating rite?

HPB near SGH lah, ima.

i think for us at woodlands its quite far.
 


*Lynzi*

buahahaha!!
 
ima,
me keje 5.5 days. keje apa yang keje shift?

lynzi,
i heard abt the adjunct scheme/no pay leave. u didnt consider taking that up?
 
*Lynzi*
now that yasmin brought tat up, my fren who also teacher justtaken 2 years no-pay leave. After which she nak continue teaching or not dia cakap masih 50-50, she just birth her 3th child this year
happy.gif


*Yasmin*
Me tak tahu kalau keje ofis ade shift work or not. kalau ade pun macam rare tak pernah dgr eh. Usually keje shift is job tat is operations/mfg/ ground work punya type of jobs. Usually lower end jobs. But u have work 12.5hr a day, ard 3-4 days a week. Tapi banyak off days...best!
 
nor,
me as ftwm used to work AM/PM shift and Nite shift over the CNY, AM i get to spend abt 4pm onwards with my baby, PM i will bathe,feed n then send her to my granny's, Some times can nap with my baby. Night shift not very good experience. still 6 day week so the week very long n nv really enjoy my weekends. now i on alternate sat off office hrs. better but will be quite tiring in the evenings.
 
ima,
my mom pon keje shift, 14 days a month. tapi gaji tak best la... hehe
then ade graveyard(night) shift (is that what it's called?), i think i lepak terus bila balik keje...zz..
 
yasmin, ima,
yup know about all that but i still don't want.
dah tak ingin nak ajar a whole class of 40 lagi...for at least 3 levels tau.
furthermore, i dah fed up with school management.
nak take childcare leave bila anak sakit pun kena question even though got mc...as if kita nak sangat anak kita sakit.
 
Yeah, HPB is at Outram there. Just beside National Dental Centre. Yesterday, Amaar need to pay only 9 bucks. He did cry, the dentist said that hopefully next time he will let her polish.

I'm a FTWM too, but I feel like taking a year off to be with my son. He's at the age when he needs me. Dunno lah, see how during my maternity leave, try to work something out.
 
lynzi,
true2.. also depends on how the management treat the teachers. i remembered my kakak sedara had to beg her P to approve her leave so that she could attend my wedding.. heh, poor thing..
 
mademoiselle
i'd book for dental appt kat HPB for qistina on 9 Jul 08..hope she like it..
abt taking a yr off, i also tot of taking unpaid leave after my maternity...still considering..lucky me maternity from end nov till feb...so must lepaskan bonus dulu baru tak umpaid..anyway 1 2 kno ..is it true tat u must work for at least for 6 mths after ur maternity leave before u quit???

*dental*
for me i like to go dentist cos after tat u feel ur teeth so clean...not sure abt now..does pri sch still have dentist?? cos 4 me all the while visit kat sch punya..now go poly ones cos it's so much cheaper...



lynzi
my fren who also teacher also claim it's difficult to take leave...even sch holidays she needs to go to school...
 
hi mummies!
I'm now at Koh Samui. Sempat surf internet sambil tunggu shuttle bus to the centre. Arrived on Monday night. Went for a full day tour yesterday and 2hr massage.
Today we are just gonna walkalong the shops and then gor another spa session at the hotel spa cos they hv 50% promo package.
Leaving for home tmr evening.
Kids are taken cared of by my in laws at my house. Semalam dah terbayang2 muka diorang. Nasib baik ada gambar2 dlm my camera blh tgk lepaskan rindu!

Anyway have a good day!

ryatie
Maybe nk try enrol farah for half day playgroup. Since u balik at 8.30pm, ur hb yg fetch the kids ke? They end at 7pm kan for full day?
 
sharena
wow enjoy nyer...best betul expecialli with the sea breeze..

last time i yg fetch the kids but now..my in-laws fetch them @5pm pasal they miss her..so everyday i allow them to fetch except when i'm on halfday or mc.
 
*Sharena*
Jeles sey.. Me nak keluar 'overseas" ke Sentosa pun dah hubi malas giler haha

*Yasmin*
I LOVE doing nite shift
happy.gif
coz takde big boss in office to kacau u..keke. But entah eh now ade my kids...so bising during the day time, leceh sikit ah. As for gaji, memang tak power. ard 1.3-1.4K aje basic. allowance im not sure pulak... still have 2 days to go til i know my results!!

*Lnyzi*
Ish ish...teruk nah they treat u teacher. haha, me dulu keje, kalau nak mc ke, nak on leave ke, i just fill up leave form n campak. On tat day confirm tak datang. I mean it's the job of leave officer to arrange manpower kepe. Y should i care whether tat day cukup org to cover or not. Haha, anyways that's my style of doing things. U try garang sikit with them lah...

Salam to all mums here,

I am new to this forum. I sedang mencari info tentang gynae kat singapura kalau boleh perempuan. I insyaAllah nak balik Singapura bersalin pada akhir tahun ni. Jadi.. sedang cari cari gynae yang bagus. I ni mengandung anak kedua, anak pertama hampir 3 tahun dan dilahirkan kat France. And sekarang ni I ada kat Morocco and kalau boleh nak balik singapura bersalin. Kalau ada recommendation.. I thank you in advance. InsyaAllah I akan balik if everthing goes well during my 32 week pregnancy.. and that will be about seminggu selepas hari raya. Terimakasih.
 
yasminy08
thanks for understanding, not all people go/thru understand these concerns. some people tell me shld be less particular. but ah, if terlanjur - can end up v bad quarrels with parents/IL or kids listen more to others rather than own parents etc etc. serik, sedih I tengok..

mademoiselle
hope u manage to work out something.
 
anyone interested in samra this sat nite ? I went there & learnt from people there. includes arab/turkish food, live samra music, separate area for men & women dance samra. area for women not too big, but gd enuff coz samra take turns one. interesting its only time I see old men dancing heheh. last time I went - I went home at midnite but the older women were still dancing. oldest was 60+ nenek, still got figure ;)
gd mix of old and young people dancing.

I still waiting when the Ladies Nite..entah bila they organising.
 
*daec*
wow
1498728.gif
boleh tahan jugak u ni eh!

*mamaliz*
I hope ur not refering to Doc Jazlan from KKH.I hope not coz I hate that guy! Very rough (he scan inside rasa macam nak koyak) & suka marah marah. Tak pernah senyum wen i see him. Eeee... everytime i go KKh i always pray i dun get him
sad.gif
 
welcome suzanah
my gynae were both females from thomson medical ctr. Both are good - Dr Yvonne Bernadette Soong & Dr Adelina Wong. Dr Soong delivered my first and Dr Wong my second. No bad reason for change. I have heard a lot abt Dr Wong so wanted to try her out. Only thing is Dr Soong is a long wait compared to Dr Wong. Hope this helps!
 
nor
hehe its quite fun. got fast paced and slow paced. the guys sampai terlompat2 hehe while doing the samra patterns.its lovely to watch even if tak dance ;)

mums,
just tumpang tanya, are ur gynaes pro-natural birth meaning prefer not induce, no epiotositomy if possible etc.. ?

Suzana
mine was Dr Joycelyn Wong (TMC). nice caring.
if wan KKH - Dr Irene Chua is v nice too.
 
errr...nor
hehehe...nor yup its doz jazlan jooseph...he was my gynae up till i admitted for birth, pasal i took class b2 if i wanted him for birth its b1...hmmm, for all my visits wif him it was very comfortable..as in he was very frenly, chit chat wif my hubby and me...even after birth wen he saw us at kk he greet us n tanya khabar semua...entah eh....
my first born i go for registrar nya clinic, cos that time tak mampu sangat...so everytime kena doc lain lain...den ada memang kasar n not considerate...but at that time i tahan ajerr..pasal tau my hubby dat time cant afford for my own gynae...yg second ni baru i get to choose my own n i pinpoint ajer lah n choose doc jazlan..alhamdulillah all works out fine..
 
hihi ladies,
so busy these days cos been going for interviews.
today je got 2 interviews.
both for part time teaching positions.
1 for conversational malay and enrichment classes.
the other one is at jamiyah.

suzana,
welcome welcome!!!
For female gynae can try Dr SL Goh.
Very nice lady and VERY PRETTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everytime i see her sejuk hati i.
Somemore she is extra extra gentle in all manners, be it speaking or doing physical examination.
She is also pro-natural birth...will try to make the patient tahan as much as she can before giving epidural and she will try her very best not to use forceps to pull baby out.
Oh, and for episiotomy, her stitches are neat and done nicely.
HTH
 
Thanks Mamaliz, Yasmin08, Sharena and Daec for the info. I wonder if anyone here has heard or seen Dr Aziz at Kembangan Plaza?. He was recommended by my GP.
You know.. when I read the postings here.. I macam terhibur rasa rasa macam kat singapura lagi.. :). I rindu sangat kat Singapura. Masih mengandung ni.. nak makan masakan singapura.. macam mee rebus lah, rojak mama lah.. alahai.. tak tahu mana nak cari. Kat sini.. mee kuning pun tak ada. Anyway.. I am happy to find this forum.. and hope to get to know you ladies better from here..
 
hi suzana,

i agree with sharena.

i strongly recommend dr adelina wong from tmc. she was my gynae. i saw her at kk before she moved to tmc. she's so gentle, caring and calm. i had a difficult pregnancy but she made me feel reassured throughout. unfortunately, when i delivered, i downgraded to c class, so she couldnt deliver me. but, even though she didnt have to handle my case once i downgraded, she still visited my daughter who was in nicu. isnt she sweet? and, she was on leave then.

my sister's kids were delivered by her by c-section and the stitches were excellent. you just see a faint line where the cut was. as for me, because i was cut and stitched up by the doctor on duty, my stitches are raised and black-ish. euw.

anyway, one of my friends who's a doctor also opted for dr adelina wong. so, even doctors choose her.

it helps that she's also pretty. which my sister believes is essential in gynaes. hahaaa!

unfortunately, because i may have a difficult pregnancy again the second time round, i can only go to kk.


lynzi,
is dr sl goh in kk? i'm shortlisting gynaes in kk.
 
suzana,
i know how it feels when u are homesick and long for home cooked traditional food like that.
for mee rebus, if mee kuning tak ada can use pasta like spaghetti to make.
that was wat my sis did in hawaii.
when i was studying in aust its not that hard to get stuffs like mee kuning cos there got more asians.
yup i heard of Dr Aziz.
he also very pro natural birth.
u can ask styli.
i think he was her gynae.

naddy, suzana,
yup Dr SL Goh is at KK.
for me i believe if gynae is nice to look at and sounds nice then baby inside the tummy will be hepi...hehehe...

daec,
i tot when u said samra..u meant that samra restaurant at arab st...hehe.
wah...arab dancing eh...
last year got arab festival and for the first time saw them danced...
if go samra don't know whether hubby may take to it.
i ni anything...cos i memang kaki joget...hahaha!!!
tulah zaman2 sriwana dulu..
 
lynzi,

what's sl goh's full name?

does she see her patients at the private suite?

when you have an appointment with her, do you feel like she's rushing thru your appointment?

thanks!
 
naddy,
i myself saw her at TPS.
told my hubby i am so not going to be in those specialist clinics.
since he got me pregnant he might as well spend money on giving me better treatment...hahaha.
lagipun i can use my civil servant card so not hard on the pocket.
I think her full name is Goh Shen Lin.
But if u were to ask the nurse on the line they know who she is.
no..during the appointment she did not rush thru.
she even ask my hubby on how he's doing...hehe.
can ask her as many questions as u like and she will answer them.
HTH
 
*mamaliz*
i think coz he was ur specialist, dah bayar pe, so dia mesti nice lah. Kalo tak nanti customer complain sey hehe. All the times that i saw him was in A&E. ima dulu night shift so ard 5hrs into my shift, i'll get bleeding and company nurse forward me to hospital. Yg suay to everytime i admitted MESTI dia on night shift duty also
1500412.gif
sigh... sometime rase cam i would rather bleed n pengsan at work then see him...

*Suzanna*
Ish ish...i didnt read the posting kat atas tadi. Helloz helloz
1500413.gif
Too bad i never see speacialist for my 2 bbys, so takde org to recommend keke. Now dah how many months?

*Pasal samra*
Are we going to organise this samra outing for MALAY MUMS? Macam fun pulak. I can ask my other mummy frens along. Buat ramai sikit
1500414.gif
 
Suzanna,

Just hang in there. You'll be back soon, just lepas raya pulak tu. Can eat all the yummy food.

Female gynaes, if TMC, I also recommend adelina wong, my gynae for my 1st one. Nice, gentle and very calm during delivery.
KK, I've experience with Dr Irene Chua, also highly recomended.

Nor, my gynae is Dr Jazlan now and so far, so good. Felt very comfy with him. I pulak tak pernah nampak dia marah. Well, hope won't get to see it. I'll update you if he bully me.

Ryatie,
Good luck on the dentist visit. Qistina will get a sticker if she gets her teeth cleaned!!
 
naddy
I read ur entry macam same as my thinking. I want to choose pro-natural gynae at TMC tapi if complication lagi terpaksa at KK juga. Maybe I try again other dr, then IF got issue transfer to KK. I really hope tak payah NICU, SCN experience lagi.. insyallah all ok.


nab/lynzi
wah best gd got potential dance kaki hehe. helps that these things tends to be late - so that I can put my ger to sleep before I go out. Hope my mum is ard to jaga her, else I may have to bring her and leave ard 10. normally dorang ni tend to end ard 12. Kalau takde kaki and takde babysister, may end up not going tho

anyways its at 11, Lorong 37 Geylang. organised by al-Wehdah Arab Association & Malay Studies Department of NUS. it says starts at 7:30pm. tapi typically itu time makan. think music start ard 8:30 or ard 9pm gitu. tickets is $20 which includes arabic/turkish food. if wanna go, can PM me
happy.gif


lynzi,
kalu hubby tak pergi, us girls can go hehe. my hubby will go even if I dun go. he dun dance though, just chit chat with frens.listening to the live music dah bes.

All the best for ur interviews!
 
oops Forgot to ask BTW mademoiselle how do we book the appointment for our kids for the dental appointment at HPB..i tried finding in the website but cant find
happy.gif
 
norra r,
kemarin i have went to the mozart thingy with my nephew and nieces.
they enjoyed the activities a lot.

ryatie,
heee...i paling takut go dentist at poly.

seriklah...
 
lynzi
so far i pergi all ok..NDC doctor lagi better...
yg garang slalu nurse yg take appt n reception..the docs all r friendly n nice...been to cck n outram ones..now cck no more all tf to w'lands
 
Welcome Suzanna!

A number of mummies here went to Dr Jazlan jugak eh. He was my gynae for both my boys and I'm still seeing him for my pap smears and family planning.

Really nice person and what I like most about him is dia tak sombong. Kalau terserempak in town, mesti tegur. I even recommended him to my sister.

ryatie, thanks for the link. Thought of bringing my 1st boy to a dentist soon. Do we have to wait long to get an appointment date? Can only bring him on weekends or during Sept holidays.

I remembered booking 6 months in advance to see a dentist at CCK. So long!!
 
betty.bad
not relli long...juz book tis week nn got my appt 9 jul 08..but it's weekday...

for u all info..knapa i these 2 days can reply so fast...cos i'm on course..aper lagi surf the net la
 

umloqmann,
Dr Aziz was my gynae for 1st birth. Took him from the start mainly coz of convienience, very near my place n dunt wanna travel so far when pregnant n working same time. My first time met him when my friend due date 1 week away n he took her. he's very funny. very popular also, so usually i went on weekdays. Sat once in a while for my hubby to accompany coz very long wait. Mine was a natural birth. He got lots of experience, so his advice is good. and he's patient. 2 of my ex-collegues also under him also natural for 1st birth.

dr jazlan is ok i guess. another ex-collgue also under him. hers elected caecerean.

lynzi,
CSC card, what's the payment like ah? how many percent u need to pay etc? if at KKH, what class applicable? only use to go GP so far. I feel that card nv use at all.
