Stylo,

Chris, Cherly,

Good morning mummies,
Hehe, i didn't greet this for a long long time hor.

Hong,
Glad that you are better now.
I am ok with packing cos i archive my files regularly so actually got no much stuffs to pack. We will be at this temporary office for 2 weeks and move back.
 
cherly

hong/cherly
packing/unpacking - something i wld not wan to do for a long long time again..
shifting office is still ok, i shifted twice since i joined this co, bcoz u only shift your own stuff.. hse is challenging, pf only helped with the kitchen and electronic stuff, i did the rest all by myself.
 
Halo Mommies!

Chris,
45 cartons??!! We definitely dun have that many cartons to pack and unpack...hahaha
My hb is good in packing, maybe he threw my things away w/o me noticing lah...but he's quite efficient...best is to leave him alone to pack and unpack while I head to shopping w the gals =P

Hong,
You okay liao? You went to Paris for holiday? So nice...

Stylobb,
So what's your harvest on Sat?
I bgt a shorts and tee for Raine from Cotton On Kids as having sale and myself, I got 2 tees and 1 working top...the working top from GG5 was at 70% discount...it was close to $100 before discount! my gdness!
 
Hi Mummies

cherly

chris
45 cartons sounds v intimidating.... I am now trying to throw away my old shoes. My hb's been clearing my rubbish again...

hong
Huh? You in Paris? With hb??

m2b
I bot a Lego truck for jesse which he fixed it in the aftn, two pairs of shoes (1 is strappy and 1 is sandals) and Chanel lipstick (to stock up). I didn't go out of Taka leh.. so I didn't see other stuff. "Accessorize" apparently did not take part in GSS so nothing on sale at their stores...sheesh...
Actually the strappy is my 2nd pair (same colour.. haha ... it's a sign of old age when one tends to do such things...hehe)

Wah the blouse is not cheap before discount.
 
m2b
haha pf is lousy in packing. ask him to pack, everything he oso want.. i threw away some of his stuff, he picked up and packed into the box again!
i just bot a dress from gg5 too.. 50% and still need to pay $80+, madness!

stylo
i have cleared a lot of my shoes when i was packing. i packed my shoes and ash's into 2 boxes, pf has a whole separate box for himself!
 
Chris,
My office is under renovation so we shifted to customer office to work and there is broadband here. Luckily you gals give face, i thot no one will response to me. Hehe

stylobb,
Sorry to say that, can only greet for today cos will be going to Hainan for work tomorrow and next week will be on leave. By then i back from my leave, i think our office already done.
 
Stylobb,
If the shoes/sandals are comfy, I would buy another pair too!

Preggie,
Wow, great shopping ya? Holidays – Raine is gg for a week’s art holiday prog, a day baking class and a short trip to Sunway Lagoon…nothing much…at home, I gave her homework to keep her occupied.

Hi M2B, Chris,

How do you all maintain your carpets ah?
 
good morning mummies!

preggie
dun get anything too white lor.. mine is mixture of black/white/silver so if dirty, not so visible but its the shredding part i headache lor...
 
Hi Mummies

hong
You must have had a great time with your friend..

chris/m2b/preggie
Our carpets were from Harvey Norman, still in good condition till now, but recently when we went there, they have other range of carpets....

Need to vacuum the carpets.

The 'lousier' one that we had was frm Ikea - actually it was more like a big rug, hb threw it away recently cos the kids spilled all sorts of stuff on it.

chris/m2b
Longchamp has other designs or are you talking about the typical one with the straps in basic solid colours?

preggie
I'm surprised rockport shoes hurt your feet.
I got 2 pairs for Clarks, wah, even the high-heeled one is v comfy...hehe.. as usual I bot REd....

How much is the carpet frm Muji and what colour is it: beige?? Their things are usually in beige..hehe...

Did you have Parent-Teacher talk at school, did the teacher say anything about joey like is she faster in her work?

chris
I've been in dresses cos weather has been really hot.

m2b
I prefer to shop alone... I don't shop when hb or/kids are with me.. cos I end up irritated....

Hair - I keep it long and my hairstylist has layered a bit at the sides. I still dare not perm altho I did think of trying - he suggested to set it for me to see.. maybe try end of year..hehe

Paper/drawing - yes, is a mess... haiz... I just bot 2 reams of paper...


No classes this weekend - wondering what we shall do.. think wl still go jogging at MacRitchie, maybe hit the pool earlier....
 
Chris,
I will try to take pics after Mike cleaned up the place tmr as I havent put the carpet as Sat is his cleaning day lor =P

Yup, the colour I want is either biege or grey...no prob, I get my coll to buy back 2 if have =P You want either colour too?

Preggie,
Hb hates carpet coz he said diff to maintain but I'm thinking the carpet is really a steal at $99 so better grab 1st...if you interested, can go Taka basement household fair...they selling there till this weekend I think.

Stylobb,
Longchamp has other designs and the 1 Chris and I aiming is quite nice and special I feel
happy.gif


Shopping - I prefer to shop with my sisrers or friends...w kids diff unless they are entertained by iphones, PSP etc...hahaha

Can try perming, quite easy to maintain I feel but ends will be dry after a while so must trim...I'm trying to find time to visit the salon...
 
stylo
ya dresses more airy hehe
carpets - yes need to vacuum regularly. ours is the shaggy type, not the usual furry type.
longchamp - its a different material, but the shape is same as le pliage range.
 
Hi girls,

Since I have being to Paris before so i am not really into going up Eiffel tower infact more like a shopping trip at Paris this time.

yes, I bot quite a few Longchamp bags back from Paris for my mother, sister, IL and myself.

Chris, I saw the bag, ask ur friend to try La Ville at Val de Europe RER station. La Villa is the factory outlet. I rbr I saw the brown one. The stuffs there is much cheaper but not all the design are selling there.

I like leather so i only aim leather bag for myself, my mum and MIL.

4065756.jpg

I got this but in orange color at factory outlet which cost me 180euro but their main branches only has black n brown which cost 290 euro.

4065757.jpg

I got this for my 2nd sister and a Tiffany&Co braclet for my youngest sister since her bday is coming.

My collicks asking me to get Pileage but it was so hot selling that everywhere is OOS. The limited edition with Eiffel tower also OOS.

I also help a friend to get back a Lowew bag for his wife which he claimed was 1k cheaper to get there then here. However I do heard rumours that they are planning to up the price to compensate against the drop in Euro.

LV is as usual with queue to get in and most tourists will go there for LV.

I went H&M to get some clothes since I have difficult getting pant here due to my big hips I am happy to get my pants there. There was discount when I went there so each pant is 10euro. Not sure if it is cheaper in England, anyone knows? Anyway S$18 for pant I think quite worth it.

I didnt know wat to get for my brother since he always say dun know his fashion so I got him a white hat from H&M which is 6.95euro. hahhaa..

Stylo,
my friend staying outside of Paris, so the environment is cleaner and more relax then in Paris. Parisian not that friendly compare to the french at countryside but they still helpful.
 
hi mummies

hi hong
pf bot h&m for zach at england. plaid shorts is only 6.95 and shirt at 5.. on the other hand, my gf's hb say he dun find so cheap stuff for her gals at paris h&m...

Hi Mummies

m2b

chris
Wow, zach's 1!! Happy belated b/day!

Yes, will be in dresses this week too.

hong
I like your orangy bag! I like red, orangy and fuchsia bags..hehe
Is it cheaper there??
 
Morning,

Stylo,
factory outlet is cheaper. After checking at the main boutique he said my orange bag was a good buy cos I save $110 euro.

My MIL is very happy with the leather bag I got her, she is even more surprised I got her more than 1 item.

Chris,
I believe England shld be cheaper. Will there be H&M in Spore soon?
 
chris
Did you stay at Holiday Inn when you went to Malacca?

hong
Yeah, no more news of H&M in Spore...

That's a lot of savings for a bag... the colour is really nice..
 
Hi Hong,

The bags are nice! How much are they? Am thinking of getting my mom a bag for her bday cum xmas pressie

Hi Chris,

Happy belated bday to Zach!

Hi StyloBB,

For now, we can only go to HKG to buy H&M stuff.
 
Preggie,
The orange leather bag cost 180euro at factory outlet and 290euro at the boutique.

The other one cost 110euro at the factory outlet.
