Good morning Mommies
Today at home with Ray cos she cough/flu. Hopefully she recovers well in time for trip next week. She watching tv now and refuse to shower.

Jas
We have 3 pax cos Ray also counted as adult rate. The agent told me room sizes all the same (think except those with balcony). But tot we should be walking ard the ship and eating so doesn't matter. Yah cannot go too many days on cruise, will be bored.

Hong
Hahaha I hope I wont come back even fatter!

Two meals during the korea trip not provided, and first and last are on flight. How to monitor the exchange rate? I never think so far! hahaha I tot those shown on the board at money exchangers are not what they will give us, they usually give better rates than that. We usually do last min and go somewhere convenient to exchange.

[preggie]

Good morning mommies!!

I think mommies from our thread are all travel bugs. We like to see the world

Started the morning really bad! This stupid KB went to the carpark and said he didn't have the keys.. blamed it on me for losing the car keys since i was the last one who drove the car... I had to go back upstairs to turn the house upside down to look for the keys... when i gave up, i asked him to check his pockets again and true enough, the key was in his pocket all along!!! ARGH!!!! He said kept saying sorry.. but i ain't gonna forgive him (at least no so soon!).

Hi AppleG,

Thank you for your compliments.... credit goes to my new panasonic camera! hahaa.

Yeap, i went on a group tour together with Cla. It was a really good trip except that 7 days seemed a little short. If you go, i'll encourage you to self-drive... i'm sure you'll enjoy it more

Hi BBgal,

So fun!! you going on so many holidays. Korea prices really went up... almost the price of Japan liao.

Hi Chris,

Malacca brings back memories of my first overseas date with KB! hahaaa.... Enjoy your weekend getaway

Hi M2B,

I was like you! when we went to hokkaido, Cla was the one coordinating with Chanbrothers! hahaa

[wmtb]

Mommies
Anyone going to bring the kids to the mouse show -ratatouille? Saw it has 5 stars in ST review.

Chris
Haha.. so you have made PF very happi so quickly book the Malacca trip? Heee you didnt read detailed enough, I got 3 trips.. but the cruise hb not sponsoring me.. my sis helped sponsor half of rays.

M2B
Yep i hope its better hotel since paid so much.. pray hard the foods ok too!

Preggie
KB so blur! Didnt check pocket! You should do a body search next time

I only 1 long holidays, the other 2 short short and zoboh kind

Stylobb
There was once ray kena 14 mosquito bites on her legs when she was having her milk in the living room! It was just one mosquito and yet I couldnt kill it!

Hong, Cherly, Chris
Thanks. Shes still very active, doesnt behave like sick.

 

[hong]

bbgal,
my collick burn a copy of the show for me. I havent check the quality. If not gd then I will bring Janelle to watch. She told me abt it last nite. I asked her where she picked up how to pronouned. She said TV taught her.

Oyster - I tired the palm size oyster before but we have it at a Chinese restaurant. The owner told us was from Canada. It cost $8. I have 1.5 of it. Very fresh and doesnt taste jialat.

Mossie - my IL live at the highest floor but that area is infested by mossie. They have called to complain, althot action taken but it doesnt improve. I guess govt alone cant do much, the residents must help to keep their compound clean and dry.

Jan n Jul sleep in the mossie-net if they are at IL place.

 

[mavys_m2bagain]

Good Morning Mommies!

Hi Preggie,
You forgive KB liao?

Hi Chris,

Preggie
KB is very nice to realise his faults and change for the better!

definitely forgivable.

Hong, Preggie
We made bookmarks for rays teachers. She named 10 of them and we made 10! Then this morning I called in to report her mc and shun4 bian4 ask about the names of teachers, in case missed out. Realised some of the teachers she named dont even teach her, but those who pass by and play with them.. now got another 5 more need to make cos she got a few she forgot to name but did support her class one.. faintz!

Stylobb
Glad to hear that Chara can be discharged! Relived and free up your annual leave.

Can apply aloe vera? It eases mosquito bites very fast.

 

[jastan]

m2b
Yeah I think so coz in the papers is stated as confirmed departure. For mine it is not under the category. So funny that they don't let us know which hotel we putting up, coz I need to know early so can plan where and what to do during the 2 days of F&E.

bbgal
Oh yeah, I remember that time we went on cruise, joel also paying adult fare as it is on promotion, so child fare not applicable.

Wow that mossie is comando is it? can make so many bites...

preggie
You got a new panasonic camera? I am also holding one (FZ1) but it was 4.5yrs liao... was thinking to change but then it was still in very good condition and it had serve me well, so better resist the temptation... I like their camera and that time I bought it because of 12X Optical zoom which meet my criteria.

minnie
The place you went is it recommended and shown on TV?

stylobb
I will put the mosquito patch when joel is sleeping in non aircon room.. I scare of mossies bites on him

I tried Shin before, not bad, I like their mixed grill set.

preggie
Wow PF very good leh.. made so many sacrifices to make up to you... no wonder must forgive...

 

[transparent]

jas,

Preggie & PF???? Wah, very scandalous ah... Hahahah

 

[chris38]

hahahaha

 

[cherly]

Hi mummies,

Was busy with some works whole day.

Jas,

Preggie n PF indeeh very funny.

Preggie,

KB knew if he don make up and do something, his life will be miserable?

Hong,

Yes, tmr is teacher's day, this year i prepared earlier, lesson learnt cos last year totally forget abt it and asked my mum went to 7-11 to buy chocolate n wrapped it.

 

[preggie]

Hi Jas,

Did you eat too much seafood yesterday? How come you so sotong say PF is my darling? hahaa... PF and I not into any underground relationship leh.. Later chris will come to my house with her gang and beat me up.

Talking abt camera hor... my old panasonic also in good condition.. but the prob is the pics dun turn out well in low light condition or when there're rapid movements.

Hi StyloBB,

Shin ah? The food is nice, we like the dessert alot. These days, we dun dine in anymore.. we will buy from Shin takeaway which is at least 10 - 20% cheaper.

Hi Cherly,

Hhaaa.. you really understand me! ahha

Hi BBgal,

I wonder if citronella plant can drive away mozzies..

 

[hong]

Morning,

I was quite a zombie yesterday. I went to get something at Concourse then head to Suntec to meet Law for lunch. Suntec was so packed due to comex.

Jan n I slept from 4:30pm to 7pm.

Cookies - Not as gd as the bunch that i made on friday. May be too tired so some of the cookies are a little burnt on the top.

I wanna make cupcakes but i must ensure there are pple help me to clear the food.

Cherly,
i cant prepare cookies too early, must keep the cookies fresh.

 

[cherly]

Morning mummies.

This morning forget to report here, hehe, anyway, TGIF and i will be on leave on next monday to bring clarence for 9 months assessment and bring 3 kids out for ratatouille.

Hong,

I intend to go to comex to get my camera tonite, guess will be very peaked too.

 

[chris38]

good morning mummies!

cherly
comex was very very crowded yday. the roads to suntec are jam and my fren was late for more than 1/2 hr to meet us for dinner at raffles city...

 

[cherly]

chris,

I think i will park my car at somewhere then take a train down.

 

[stylobb]

Hi Mummies

hong
I think I hv been a zombie nearly the whole week..when jesse slept, me also wanna sleep...

Last nite we went jalan to the pasar malam.. met mil's neighbour, he looked at chara and said, 'wah so plump!' hahaha.

bbgal
I asked maid to apply the aloe vera gel on julien.

cherly
Beta don't go near there or park there.. it was already v crowded yesterday when my collick went.

chris
All ready for tom? Brot ur shopping bag?

 

[hong]

Cherly,
Yah go by train. Get ur extra memory card at the fair too.

They dun have the model we wanted and I havent look thru the offer. We bot a portable hardisk yesterday.

Stylo,
How heavy is Chara now? She must be very chubby. hahaha..

I got Julian a sandal yesterday. It was too small and we brot the kids to Parkway for dinner so i took the chance to exchange for a bigger size. The moment I put Julian down with the sandal on, he dashed out of the shop immediately. I got to catch him back many times.

He probably realised he could come down and walk, so we let him do so. Janelle volunteer to hold his other hand while i was on the other.

Make him walked alot last nite, he was so tired when he reached home. Laying on the mattress and refused to move.

 

[cherly]

stylobb/hong,

Hmmm, in that case, i think i better go on sunday morning.

Hong,

Julian can walk liao? Must be busy in catching him. Clarence like to play with water, that day crawl into bathroom secretly near fall into the toilet bowl. My mum's place common toilet is those sq one, also now he can crawl high n low, make my mum very busy.

stylobb,

glad that chara is well now.

 

[hong]

Cherly,

Julian still very wobby. We said he walked like a toddler who has an overdoes of alcohol.

When we let go of him last nite. He simply just dashed ard. The shoppers got to avoid him but they all smiled cos he looked very cute and comical.

The funny part is - Janelle will sit in the toy stroller and Julian will push her. He is strong enough to make the stroller move.

 

[hong]

Sthing to share.
