i used to wear my wedding ring n enggagement rings but after i got pregnant with my girl, i never wear le, cos that time i got fat finger, then now, so used of not wearing hehehe, but if i go out by myself i will wear one, cos there's once incident i was at fitness first worked out never wear cos i'm scared missing, then got 2 guys (separate timing) intro themselves to me kekeke, not bad huh? still got market wahhahahaha
but if my hubby he always wears, cos he said if he doesn't wear he will feel something is missing hehehe |

christine,
i was thinking if chateu de sable then quite common. frankly, alot of clothes nowadays are made in China and Indonesia coz its cheaper.
shannen,
i also seldom buy clothes frm chateu de sable coz i find their clothes qute dressy but v nice. nt really suitable for D. hahaha. but once in a while will buy for wedding dinners or D&D.
hey, talk abt ice cream, swensons having 1-for-1 ice cream buffet at its branch at ION.
when is the NATAS?! i wanna go! hehehe. |

But 1 thing is, no income = no $$ to give my parents and I cant expect my hubby to give them mah. |

i think the noisy part is becoz of the room windows were not closed lo.. it's 6th floor, noist travel upwards..the irritating motor sound, kaoz so clear.. i rembr last time then cats fighting , wah liao..oso so clear n noisy...
maybe i nt used to it liao. .coz at my plc.. my hse closed until tight tight de, i seldom can hear much outside noise..hee
its really tough to balance $$ and quality.
Actually SAHM is the best, u provide quality care to ya lil ones.. but having engf $$ or nt, is another issue.. if only hubbies are millionairs eh. hahaa :P |

sporty,
my mum ok as long as you gave her $$$, cos she not working and never go out except for her MA, so she dun really needs a lot lor, my bro provided for all her other expenses so this is somehow extra to her lor..
if my mum can take care of my C, i dun mind to give her a lot.. cos she is my mum so i dun mind to give more if my C with her...
now i gave MIL 600 oni for taking care from Mon to Fri (if we MC/leave, she goes off) from 7am to 7pm.. All things provided by us and clothes washed by maid...
jntt,
u can consider NSRCC, chalet just been renovated, very nice and big..
for me, i booked Chevrons as intend to keep my guest list as small as possible.. next mth then i think of her cake, balloons etc..
u so fast think of ur gal 1st bash.. |

u know what my aunty as a nanny, the baby parents never give her additional allowance for her baby meals..
i mean simple necessarities i know is provided by us.. what i mean is she just helped to look after my maid n baby cos i need someone to oversee the maid... as now the maid will bath, change diaper, put her to sleep, play with her.. so my mil oni eye power them.. so that y i thinks $600 a bit too much... |

i keeping my guest lists small as i dun want too much ppl gathered, cos scared of H1N1, haha.. so oni inviting some really closed frds and relatives..
val,
i think my hb dun kwns anything except SAF thingy.. He may followed his dad to be crane operator, thought tedious job but pay is so much better than his SAF pay.. but i doubt i will want, cos dangerous and always under the sun..
his contract ending 3yrs time..
sporty,
in fact i think my mil is good as she is ok with any amounts of cos must be reasonable to me n hb lor, cos half half mah..

wat does ur auntie cook to feed the kid she is looking aft? ask her to claim frm the parents ah.
oh. so ur MIL only eye power...i thot she will handle C while the maid do hsewk...if ur MIL ok with the cut then ok la =)
hmmm....crane operator...earns better than n army but really dangerous lo...wat edu level is ur hubby? mayb ask him to go upgrade himself before he comes out of army lo...if nt join as hse agent or wat??? if his performance is gd, army sure keep him de.
hahaha. cai fan again? but ur boy ok with it today? hehehe.
shannen,
think ur FIL lonely...tts why sponsor ppl to go with him...
sporty,
hahaha. same la. my mum also "demanded" quite abit for talking care of my D...aft all she resigned frm her family business just to help me lo...last time she got bonus now she dun have =P
chacha,
i duno abt u la but initially i thot i will go crazy taking over my hubby's share of hsewk...but i think its more abt getting used to it...now i can handle it so long as D is watching dvds. i used to think i cant do it but nw i proven myself wrong =)
so currently we shelved the idea of a pt maid...will reconsider again when i am preg =) |

yes dangerous lor so i dun really like that idea and always under the sun till so dark, so ugly.. haha..
he has diploma oni, thinking of taking degree but army dun sponsor so he dropped the idea as now it is impossible for him to fork out that huge amt in study lor...
keep him for what, with no promotion and increament..
cai fan har, my little C should be OK so far.. haha..
yest craved for curry fishhead and i had it...
i dun want to do any house chores again, having done since young, i so sick and i am a perfectionist so every corner must be cleaned if I do.. i can take 1 whole day, my parents place not cleaned finish haha... |

hahaha ^5 my mum also will say that at times esp during cny hw cum she dun have bonus one. hahaha. i told her i bo $$, recession, so no bonus! but well, i will buy cny goodies and the decoratives stuffs lo, in a way, make up for some of the bonus la. hehehe.
yes. i am really proud of myself that I can do it. Also, thanks u for ur encouragement lo, i rem initially i had doubts abt handling hsewk n looking aft D at the same time =)
chacha,
ur maid got nthing much to do? clean C's toys? u trust ur maid to look aft C?
hahaha. glad to know ur MIL is understanding enuff =) nt all old ppl can understand tt de. =)
actually army do sponsor degree de. depends on results and work performance also. ur hubby got write in before nt?
take army $$ to study is nt easy at all. u need to score well and nt fail the course lo, if nt u have to pay back lo. so the stress is there to perform well and handle the usual work well too. so in the end, aft weighting the pros n cons, my hubby decide to pay for the degree himself. at least he dun have the additional stress to maintain the score that army requres lo.
hmm...again...promotion n increment is depending on work performance de...and nt every yr every personel will get it. also, depends on their boss lo. hw they grade them in their work. and esp in army where there are so many personels. n order to stand out, the only way is go beyond their usual scope of work.
hahaha. glad u had ur curry fish head craving satisified =) where did u have it? the one opp SSC? |

WAH!!!!!! 2mth bonus!!!! sorry ah, hw much u give ur mum for looking aft A?
i only give my parents 13th mth bonus (the same amt they got for the rest of the 12 mths. hahahah)
true. i cant agree more with wat u say: its nt we cant do it, is whether we wan to or not =) u r a wise lady, u know =)
ya true. i actually also heartpain the amt we will pay to the pt maid coz feel each time $50 may nt sound alot but 1 mth $200 le...just to do hsewk...like nt really worth it.. |
