haiz.... he will if he can, but his work requires him to stay a little later as he works with Canada ppl, so can't depend on him on the cooking part.

Actually I know cooking is not THAT difficult la, jus need to get used to the routine and find the best methode and fastest way to handle all the food. But that takes time to learn lor....

 

[tanlengleng]

Violet,
get your girl's ex-nanny to cook for them,
adults eat out... kekeke...

 

[violet_blaze]

Leng Leng,
That is my backup plan lor.
But if I can do it myself then will be better la

 

[princesskris]

violet,
u reli gd mummy le, bake cake for ur kid. i doubt i will do dat. for makan, get lengleng to cook for u since she stay at hm most of the time, hee.

 

[violet_blaze]

haha.... I dun mind if Leng leng provide delivery loh.... LOL

Actually my gal's nanny is my next door neighbour but sometimes I feel pai say to ask her 'cos even though I'll be paying her but that will mean that she will be house bound in the evening time. And sometimes she needs to bring her kids out mah....
And although my gal's cc provides dinner but my son is oni 2 yo when i put him there and I will prefer that he eats at home so I can 'monitor' his appetite.
I hv 11 more mths to think...

Kris,
u hvn't really experience motherhood yet mah.... u will also wan to do things for your kids too.

 

[tanlengleng]

Kris,
then many mummies will scold her,
cause no time to organize spree liao... hahaha...

 

[violet_blaze]

oh ya hor!!
i cannot take away the precious time from our spree queen leh... i oso wan her to organice more spree for me to spend $$$.

 

[cpj]

Hi Violet, the cake looks nice lei..... so sweet of you....

My oven broke down on me last year.. I am not really in baking.. just that at 1 time before i had my 1st child, a colleague and I were crazy about baking pineapple tarts.... now no time liao.

 

[tanlengleng]

Violet,

cooking isn't so bad,
I hate washing...

 

[little_devil]

[violet_blaze]

wendy(cpj),

hi little devil... the cake looks nice lei.... guess must take a lot of effort and patience.. i dun think i can do that man...

violet... pineapple tarts very tedious.. especially if you are doing the pineapple fillings... have to grate it and then cook it by stirring continuously until a paste.... i also dun know why, there was this year, my colleague were so crazy about this until we took leave to do it at home. then after work, the 2 husbands came back and helped us.. haha....

now that both of us are with kids, the enthusiam has died down liao.....

hi kris, thanks for the invitation. will confirm again as I may have class on 24 Feb.

 

[cpj]

Hi Jen, Violet, Sharon and Leng Leng, drop you an email...

 

[joyful]

Wow, little devil. Your cake really looks amazing...did you go for some lessons on cake decoration? I'm the practical kind, just buy one off the shelf....most convenient. Furthermore me also no oven....

Violet, your cake looks nice too. Actually with an oven, you can make lots of other things too....pizza, chicken pie, baked rice.... yummy....

Hi Kris,
Did you realise that 24 Feb is "Ren Ri"? That's the day to "Lo Hei" rite? Didn't realize that until my hubby pointed out to me....Anyway, for me, most prob 25 Feb is better.

How's yr maid so far? Is she experienced? Enjoying life now that you've got your maid to help out around the house?

 

[mikel]

Little_devil
Wah ... I'm very impressed with your cake! Looks very professionally done ... Inspired me to bake my boy his b-day cake next year after seeing violet and you ...

kris
Don't think I can make it. Sat: Aunt's house, Sun: Church Thanks for the invitation!

 

[violet_blaze]

wendy(cpj),
ya, I can imagine the amount of work required for pineapple tarts.... some ppl will jus buy ready made fillings but I find do yourself will be better lor, but will be very tedious. So I nvr imagine myself doing it..

And I reply yr mail alrdy

Joyful,
I know can do a lot, but I'm quite lazy to do anything else other than the basic butter cake and cheesecake. And my cheesecake is without the bottom crust layer one 'cos I lazy to make!! LOL

I oso opened with POSB and u jus need to bring the kid's birth cert with u. I forgot if u need to bring a copy to give the bank, no harm jus bringing an extra copy there though.

 

[mustard]

Hi Gals,

Anyone interested to buy fluid proof mattress protector from King Coil? I was shopping around for one to put on my son's single bed when I came across King Coil. It is their new product, terry cotton quilted with waterproof lining at the botton. Can be put on like a fitted sheet. Original Price - $69. They gave me a 20% discount as I am buying one for myself and my cousin is also getting one. I've reserved them already and waiting for them to revert on giving me a 30% discount. Anyone interested to piggy bag and buy? Let me know, they will call me back soon to confirm my order and transfer them to United Square for me to pick up.

 

[tanlengleng]

Violet,
the bank has photocopying machine lah... hahaha...

Carol,
I custom made for my Queen size,
it's PVC type, was about $60 each

 

[violet_blaze]

leng leng,

[tanlengleng]

Violet,
u r so nice.

 

[violet_blaze]

haha leng leng,
me not nice la... jus dun wan to waste my time there lor..... u know how fast they are at doing all these paperworks la, i jus hate going to the banks. Orm maybe they are better alrdy? Anyway i always keep a copy or 2 of their BC at home in case need to use for watever thing la.
I will be back on Fri so I collect the old navy fm u maybe next wk after work? I sms u then la.
Good nite, i going to sleep alrdy

 

[tanlengleng]

Aye aye madam,
good night.

 

[wen2gal]

Hi Cholemummy,
Thanks for ur help.

I might just drop by POSB branch at Compass point tml to find out a bit more. But they open so late.. Only at 11am.. Luckily I'm off for this 1 whole wk, if not, I cannot imagine going on Sat and having to queue like maybe an hr just to get to the counter..

 

[mustard]

Hi Leng Leng,

At the moment I'm using those PVC type from Spotlight for my son but a bit warm and have the rustling sound. It's tearing up now so have to change. Thought of letting him have some comfort this time so change to a better type. : )


Wow, Wendy, be prepared to queue even for weekdays. People start queuing outside as early as 10.30 am. I always end up waiting for at least an hour before my turn Remember to go straight to the information counter, you don't have to wait at the long line for your turn. Hehehe, I'm a SAHM so frequent Compasspoint and the bank during weekdays.

 

[violet_blaze]

Wendy(wen2gal),
u dun hv to join the normal queue for opening the kid's account. You can go to the information counter and ask the lady to process. But sometimes they oso hv 'queue' for that but not as long as the main queue though.
No min sum required for the account and the bank will put in a $1 for the account out of goodwill.
I link my kid's account to my account so that it's easier for me to do internet transfers to them.

 

[ariesan]

Hi everyone,
Have a happy n prosperous pig year.

Wendy,
Wah... ur co so generous give the ee off for 1 week. Siok har..
I open my kids acct with RHB.

Littledevil,
Ur cake looks so yummy.
