Dialect group

You are same dialect group as me = Cantonese. Are you teaching your kids to speak Cantonese ? Both my kids speak Cantonese and English.

My hubby is a mixture of teochew/hokkien/shanghainese/peranakan. My father is Cantonese, my mother is Hainanese. So our kids is the mixture of almost every dialect group !

My all time favourite HK series is Jin Zhi Yu Nie (War and Beauty). I love the show ! I bought the VCD and finished watching within 2 days. Any other good ones to recommend ?
My boy started coughing last friday, feel very bad to see him panting, even when sleeping. I put him on nebuliser, now better. He just started going to daily school 2 weeks ago. I expect him to get infected by other kids more frequently. Quite sad, but no choice, he is almost 3 years old, got to let him go to school.
Korean drama
The only one I like is Princess Hours (Gong)
Movies
I prefer romantic comedy, recently like Music & Lyrics (Drew Barrymore), Just like Heaven (Reese Witherspoon). Watched 300 before, too violent for me. I prefer Troy (Brad Pitt !). Watched Transformers, enjoyable but too loud. Also watched Harry Potter last week, quite good.

Having grandparents looking after kids is the best arrangement. Do you or your hubby give your MIL monthly allowance ?

You are serious that you have porridge everyday ? Teochew porridge is different from Cantonese porridge right ?
If you can afford to stay at home, by all means do so. The love and attention of mommy is priceless, no one can replace it.

My backache and neckache came back ! It's work related, long hours sitting in front of the computer
I think very young kids really put a big strain on the relationship between hubby and wife. I find that we really need to make an effort to tolerate each other.

I went to the Eu Yang San clinic at Jurong West Medical Center. It was relieved for a while, but after working for 2 days, the ache came back ! I think I have to try somewhere else.

Thanks for the tip. Will try it out.
I totally agree with you that debt free is the best. I know of people who earns $15K a month but owes like $90K to credit card companies, I wonder how they spend their money ?

Sorry to hear that your baby is having fever again. Which PD are you seeing ? Did he give anti-biotics ? Many PDs are against giving anti-biotics, but I think sometimes really no choice have to give, otherwise baby will not be cured completely.
Medical Bill
My father also had a major operation last year. Bill came up about $50K, but after government subsidy and medishield, only deducted about $3K from medisave, no cash needed at all. Medishield, or other kind of hospitalization insurance is very important ! I made sure every one in the family is covered.

I also like to chat with the mommies in this thread
Actually I find it slightly easier to manage human relation in forum, compared to real life. In forum, if you don't like someone, you can ignore her easily. But in real life, it may not be so easy.
