I'm back, I'm back.

I'm sorry, I came back on Sat night but was extremely busy these 2 days. Finally handed over the apt to the lawyer, completed the sale. Also, before I left, hb rcvd his m/rpt and he has a whole long list of problems. Just brought him to do his ct scan today and had his eyes checked at the specialist. Now then I have some time to sit down and type post.
There's so much food for our gathering. I'm thinking of getting a platter from Tierney's at Isetan. Will prepare all the disposable cutlery, serviettes and drinks as well.

Pres Yve welcome back!

Hope you have enjoyed your trip and everything is alright with your HB.

 

[yve501]

dear all,

thank u for ur prayers. Laoye is ok for now. He'd better take good care of himself since I can't be next to him 24/7.

trip wasn't very enjoyable. Due to a number of reasons. Will tell u all when we next meet again.

I dunno what's happening to me. The last time I went to the hairdresser's, the assistant burnt my forehead with the hot hair-dryer. Today I went to get my mani &amp; pedi done and the manicurist cut into my skin till I bled! What should I pray for when "bad" things like these are happening to myself?

 

[vanilla_pod_2]

<font color="0000ff">hi yve.. oh no hope ur finger is ok..will pray for God's protection to b with u. </font>

 

[sunflower09]

[abigailjoy]

Hi ladies, it's nice meeting most of u at the gathering. Thx yve for hosting us. U must be tired. Bberry also did a good job waving at us to the right pit. I agree ur hb is good looking. Thanks ladies for the gifts. I didn't bring any, oops! Food was good too. Oh and thanks sisters for helping to hunt for D. I had never been that scared b4. My hb sd he only took at look at his piece of log cake and the next moment d disappeared. Whose log cake was that?

Bingo, nice meeting u n ur hb too. U hv got mail.

Tokkie, tommorow is the day? I pray for the peace n joy of the Lord to be with u.

vannila, E's dinner looked yummy. U gotta give me that recipe. I ran out of ideas n I think j n d are tired of my food.

Joie, faith is so cute. She is so brave n sociable. I really like her.

Th, congrats. U made it with u kids n hb tis time. U will gain more confidence every time u bring them out. Ur new maid seems ok.

Sunny n the rest of the ladies, hope to c all of u soon.

 

[abigailjoy]

Hi bingo, can u turn on ur PM?

 

[vanilla_pod_2]

<font color="0000ff">hi sisters...

hi NZ - sure..v simple gravy and rice.. but not nice lah cos that day E did not finish it..haha..he has his moods.

I take 1 tablespoon of rice, boil w beef, tomatoes and carrots and green leafy veg and then blend all... that is the gravy. must add the rice so that when u blend the beef, it will be gluey not meat stringy.

re D missing... wah i tell u, my heart skipped like 5 beats. First thing is i look at the swimming pool. Luckily i thot i spot some wavy hair and ran to the other party. She is so calm ... did not even seem bothered that she caused all of us to panic.. haha children lah.. but as usual, e signed he is scared as i was shouting " D, D , D".. my scaredy cat boy.

sigh... today is bad day for me.. Q w my mum... i asked her to change her schedule cos my MIL's PT maid cant come in on Tue and my hb does not want my MIL to be alone w E on Tues.. my mum has her only activity - yoga that day and fri. she is extremely unhappy that she has to be the one always accomodating the changes to someone else's convenience. So we Q cos i asked her what she wants me to do, fight w my hb and mil and D? Sigh...

now i have to crack my brain to look for another solution for E for Tues. i have 1 kid and so much prob... how i ever can have my no 2? i yearn for one so bad it hurts but i cant have it cos of everyone's else selfishness. </font>

 

[joie]

The missing D gave me such a scare.. but I have to say she is a brave gal - making new friends so quickly

Trustinghim, it ain't too bad to bring the twins and Raphael out right? The little twin boy was so cute.. God is good - I remembered we were fervently praying for him when he first arrived cos he was suspected to have issues with protein intake (or something like that).. and God is good. He healed the little one.

Vanilla, really sorry to hear abt these issues.
I can understand how your mum feels if she only has activity for the day and she has to give it up. Maybe your hubby could take the day off and do his part next time to help your MIL (his mum) so that MIL will not be alone with E (action rather than words!)

Faith had a great time with the kids and playing with icebox auntie.. she was fascinated with the cold water and the forbidden drinks.

Yve, thanks for letting us use your bbq pit area, and treating us to special Hokkaido spring water ;-)

Tokkie, you make great food.. are you sure it is not one of the hidden reasons your inlaws and sis in law prefer to stay with you.. haha they get to eat quality cooking everyday when you cook.
Jia You!! for your FET.. dun forget to eat the egg whites and relax.. maybe a quiet Xmas this yr.. and a really noisy one next yr!

John 16:23
In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.


sunny, thanks for your log cake..

Bingo, come join us for lunch instead.. more time to catch up with the adults!

Maybe we should do a CNY gathering.. depending on the cycling schedules for our lovely ladies..

 

[yve501]

Thank u all for the company last Sat. I wasn't exactly the "host". Just booked the place for us to gather that's all. I'm really no good at hosting parties. Didn't talk much to everyone of u either. Nice meeting u for the 1st time, Bingo and TH!

Am glad that the gathering turned out fine and everyone enjoyed themselves.

sunny, mricky: u were definitely missed!

tokkie: so exciting! take a good rest today for the big day tmr. Really, pls send me the recipe for the baked salmon. Told my mom abt it and she said she wanna try for CNY when my aunts come to visit. keke.

[vanilla_pod_2]

<font color="0000ff">hi dear bingo - is it ok i give NZ ur email then?

[godknowsbest]

Vanilla- have the child care arrangement settled? i really look up to you..u can cope alone with E. i will most likely stay home..i did ask Psalm along but her hb overseas so she could not make it.

Joie- your hb is the "model" hb..NZ hb too... but yours is so protective over your gal always following her..i was telling hb that look you all dun need maid or bring maid along cos your hb is so involved in caring for your gal..even bring her to toilet!!!

yes all ladies..that was the 1st time my bb was out of the house premise after 5!!! never did i even bring them out of hse after 630...1st time.... but the only bad thing was they zz on way home n reached hm eyes big big!!! toook so long then willing to zz...

[vanilla_pod_2]

bb sitting - in the end need my mum to do it..initially after my mum screamed at me i went to beg my PT maid to help me, she ok, but hb said no. so i went back n pleaded w my mum say school hols i will take half day morns so she can continue her yoga. My dad is v nice, he said he will watch E for me...meaning bring E to aracade or beach .. do play stuff until my mum comes back from yoga.

TH - i have only 1 - so it is easier. E is too active to stay home... he can tell me he wants walk walk. So if hb not free, i still take bus take train w E to go out. he loves MRT...</font>

 

[audreysu]

dear sisters

its been a really long time since I last post here! I'm blessed with a singleton &amp; I'm already 13 weeks pregnant, expecting our little sweetheart next June.

time really fly, from when I decided to cycle till now it was 4 mths already. I had a little scare during my 11 weeks when I went for my oscar. I cleared my scan with flying colours but blood test show high risk DS. Fear consumed me immediately &amp; I broke down right then in office. Next day went CARE &amp; broke down once more in front of Angela, she was really God send. trying her so very best to ensure me everything is fine &amp; even encourage me to go for CVS test. I even questioned God why me!?!? I under low risk group &amp; I definitely cannot afford to lose this little precious!

I went for CVS test the very next day even though I was so against it due to MC risk. I'm now blessed with the most wonderful christmas &amp; bday present! the result is normal, the big stone in my heart is finally lifted off.

Blessed Christmas to all of you &amp; your family, I may not be active here but rest assured your thoughts are with me &amp; I'll continue to pray for all of you! Thank you for being my prayer warriors during my cycle!

 

[tokkie]
