Tiffy,
suggested to my hubby about taking bloom shoots. Guess what, he tell me to wear bikini by our poolside and he volunteer to take the pictures for me ! Well, he used to be in the photography society but I must be brave enough to wear bikini at condo pool in the first place. Ha ha !

Tiffy,
no need to be shy lah. Take it like we going for a swim together after the shots.

Anyway, I'd went out for lunch with hubby yesterday and he actually wanted to go into a swim shop to look for the bikini. :-)

eunice,
what trigger the ezcema ? Dry weather ? Try the CB cream and maybe it'll work for you too.

Hello mommies!

Busy ah…but sneaking now to post something.. I just quickly skim through the post..

Congrats again Chris! I bet mei mei will be as good looking as Brig!

Twinkle star,
Lucas really look like Garina! Another chubby chubby baby. Till now, I cannot forget garina round tum-tum..haha..

Tiffy,
Wah..Bloom shoot.. actually I a bit regret never taking pregnancy photo but hor for my 1st pregnancy, I was so bloated and have so many ugly welts that I just don’t feel like taking pictures. But with naia really regret leh cos I was quite slim but welts still there lah.. So, again very shy to take. But a bit regret now  May be if I have the 3rd one, then I will surely take.. But hor, right now, I can’t imagine having a 3rd child..haha…

Hippo,
I soooo love the last family picture!!! Adri is soo adorable and she’s such a natural poser. Who’s the photographer?

Hippo,
Adri is Soooooooooo CUTE ! especially the way she look at Ayden before she kiss him. :-)

Eunice,
not sure if the items can help you or not. But caelen eczema was very bad and see PD given medication and cream also no use. It only improve and eventually gone after I start to let him use CB's shower and the moisture cream.

Ariajo,
I was just wondering what happened to you, never see you post for quite sometime. Think Hippo's photography is Studio Loft.

Hi Mummies,

I have been so stressed with work lately... Supposed to be a "simple" job, but now, I am so stressed up. My boss added me with more loads!!! Think I havent been in the right mood lately as Andrea is again down with fever and she will whine in her sleep almost every night. Making me so tired and become sleepless. Last night, I was awaken by her, cannot sleep, so, woke up at 3plus am to cut my nails.. hahhaha

Haiz... feel exhausted today... Hopefully I can bring back my mood to :-) and enjoy myself during lunch with all to ROCKIE mummies.

OK... Canelle ONZ...

Hippo,
Saw your studio pictures from FB...the pictures look very unique with all the unique pose. Nice nice.

Twinkle,
How are you coping with #2? Hope you are doing fine. Lucas is so chubby and cute.

Re: MIL
Ecookie,
I have learnt not to rely/depend on my IL much these days liao.. Its always hard to "order" them to do things, so, lucky and thank God, I have a capable maid, so, my maid will handle most of my kids stuff. Mentioned to you last week, I quite sian regarding my Australia trip that we wont be bringing my maid, only bringing IL and hopefully they will "zi tong" and give me helping hands as much as possible lor....haiz..

Also, my MIL used to be very "gian" grandchildren and assured me that she will look after my kids while I work. Thinking that she will be super-hands-on and that I can relax.. haiz..... suay suay....#*(@*()@)@&*(@.. Tell you more about it tomorrow lah...

CM,
Hope you are OKAY... Saw quite abit of your complaints lately.

hi mummies, just a sign of life from me, drowning under work and tonnes of marking, back to sleepless nights or 2-3 hours max, and then teaching the very next morning...

Hope everyone is doing fine?

Twinklestars I said I wantd to pass u the bottles but so sorry i just got dumped more work, right in the middle of my exam marking so couldn't make it...i feel so bad that you took the time to come all the way to my place and now i can't even find the time to go over....except mebbe at 1am in the morning...(yes, that's the average/earliest time when i finish my work most days)

CM, how is life in bandung? i hope carlson is better now...mea also just got well from bronchiolitis. must take care yourself yah.

preggy mummies and mummies doing confinement, do take care and enjoy your babies!

hippo, the two darlings are just so precious. i love the last shot too. cute tee shirts!

OK i better vamoose cos i have tonnes of scripts staring back at me.

hope can come in more often after all the mid year madness.

Mummies,
any HR experts here? I need to seek advise. As some of you might know that I m undergoing a training to be a part time trainer for kids enrichment school. I hv signed a contract which clearly states that I hv to be a trainer for 2years, should I back out during these 2years, I would need to pay them 12k. Note that it's applies only when I start teaching.

But now they twist their words that even if they asked me to leave, I would still hv to pay them 3k (for 5lessons) they taught us during the training period. I feels that it's so unfair. It's not stated in the contract. Should I report this to small case?

Morning Mummies! :-)

Chris,
BB is galgal? Wow... Congrats!

hippo,
I dun think I will be able to swim thereafter delivery. The healing from the c-sect, the need to handle the BOYS (OMG!), etc. Dun even dare to think of it lor. Haha... But if really intensive amount of commitment & effort to handle the kiddos, sure can lose weight.

ecookie,
I should reach on time. Hee... but as usual, I dun noe where is the place. Near to Out-of-Pan?

Jas,
Can call MOM/MCYS to check on the rules & regulation. I guess so long it's not stated in the contract, then you should not be bonded to pay back if they asked you to leave.
The question brings back to... 'They can just get trainees and then asked them to leave, and get the penalties from the trainees?'
Sounds unfair... You may want to further check with the in-charge person about the details for the penalty before being able to seek advice from MOM/MCYS.

Gd morning mummies...

Jovialz, thx for the info on the CB cream. Hav informed my hb liao but tink he is a lazy bum who dun wanna order from BP. I saw the BP but abit confused on which to order coz got so many types. Is it the Moisturizing Crème: “Calming” Botantical 4oz?

Tiffany, wow...ur mil also another monster ah? will b lookin forward to hear more from u later.

CM, hows everything now?

Jas, if its not mentioned or stated in the contract, den its not fair to u dat they asked u to compensate them. As "usual", make the matter big if they wanna pursue the 3k. But of coz u gotta b very confirmed dat its not mentioned anywhere in the contract abt the compensation. I'm not a HR expert but tink we all need black & white in these matters.

Yesterday was a very tough day for me & my family. My beloved cat of 15 yrs died. My dad discovered him in the store room. He seldom go into store room unless he is afraid of certain loud noises or strangers. I recv the call from my mum while at work den she asked me wat to do. I was dumbfounded & she hanged up after I dunno wat to say. When I finally got myself together, I called her to wait for me to reach home. I wanna see him off for his last journey. My bro & sis were informed too & they also took urgent leave to go back home. Memories of him pei-ing me during my school days, happy & sad times all flooded back into my head as I was on the way back. I kept cryin. I didn't noe it was such a deep impact. As I watched his body, it dawned on me dat he will no longer b ard to "meow" at me whenever I go back my parents' place. He will not pester me for food...allow himself to b tortured by Travis...run ard & bump his butt at the door...use his forehead to snuggle my face...
its depressing. He has been a great companion to whole family. :-(

eunice, oops...sorry. Didn't mean to dampen anyone's mood since today is fri.
But someone's reaction triggered my 反感 towards him. It's my bro in law. Yesterday he called my sis when she went back. Den said we all very 夸张 to go to such measures for a cat. Den kept sayin "com on lah...its juz a cat" -_- such unfeelin words. To us, he is more den a cat. Lucky my hb didnt say dat. When I asked my hb if we r being 夸张 to send my cat for cremation, he said "nope, whoever said dat hav never had a pet b4, so he/she dunno the attachments we had together"...15yrs...its more den a decade.

Mummies havin lunch later @ cityhall, zhen zhen juz sms me sayin she not joinin us for lunch. So its juz a table of 4.

morning mummies!!

I'm back! saw my 'name' somewhere. choi choi choi. I don't want free trips. :p so maruko, I'm still at your leg. kekeke

hippo,
the photos are soooo kawai!! esp adri! she's full of expressions! I've been contemplating to bring J for photoshoots but the fella always frown in photos. never pose. so photos turn out may also not be nice. :p

karrie,
you are one super mummy and teacher. I think if it was me, i would have just collapsed. Pls take care of your health.

Jas,
I'm not from HR but I can share my similar situation. I was bought over by my previous co. so they helped to pay the 1 month notice period salary to my ex ex co so that I can join them immediately. Then after I joined, they made me sign an agreement saying that because they paid the 1 month salary for me, I have to be with them for at least 6 months, if I leave earlier, I have to pay them back. I was quite pissed at that because this was not discussed and agreed during the interview and only after I joined. If I knew about it, I would just serve my 1 month notice instead and not be tied by them.
My guess is if they never make you sign any agreement to pay back 5k, I don't think they have the right to ask you to pay if it's just verbal.

mummies having lunch later,
enjoy!!!

hippo, tink no matter whether its a cat or dog or any other pets, u will develop emotions for it wif time spent together.

My mum sms me this morning sayin dat she cant sleep whole nite. Den the other cat kept meowing thru the nite, seems to b either cryin or lookin for his partner.

ecookie, hahaha...I can't agree more abt it. At least it raises my spirits to b able to gossip ard wif 3 other chio-bus. Heng my boss no say anything. Hahaha...was out for nearly 2hrs lunch. :p

Hello Mummies,

Finally can relax abit now... Was a mad rush since this morning till now, can sit down for a piece of Rich & Good Swiss roll and hot tea.

Thanks Hippo and Junnie for asking about Andrea. Last night was terrible.... she couldnt sleep well, so am I. She was coughing non- stop through the night and I worry sick until I cant sleep too. Her fever has been On since Monday, but it has been hovering between 37.3 to 38.3. See her cough until so xin ku, and I also very xin ku, decided to bring her to PD despite already seen GP on Tuesday and on Anti-Biotics. Haiz... she is again wheezing and put on Neubiliser again.... Hope she will get better and sleep well tonight and all of us too.

Rush to office after sent her and maid back and only have 1 hour to check and reply some emails, rush to meet the 3 other chio bus for Japanese lunch... woohoo... shiok.... I had a great time and it really lighten my heart and felt so relaxing after all the gossipings over a sumptous lunch. Ecookie, Yeah mann.... today again so much exchanges until cannot finish saying ..... hahhahha.. Yes.. should do it more often.

Want the pictures to be on FB or email to personal account? Let me know. Anyway, can only do it next week when I bring my USB to office.

Have a good weekend, Mummies.

Maruko,
Dinner? I would really love to, but it would be abit tough for me as I usually need to rush home to take over the kids to relieve my "monster" MIL.... kekekke... so bad.. actually she is not monster la.... just that I have to change my expectation of her role as she is also tied up with other kids.

I plan to take leave once a week on every wednesday to bring the kids out during June holidays. Want to accompany the kids, also to relieve my IL side. The kids have 1 month of holiday, really headache how the kids gonna pass time at IL house with 4 kiddos there... sure fight and super noisy until IL go crazy.

SAHM mummies.. Interested? Go beach/ picnic/ swimming/ playgrounds/ playdates etc.. plan to take 9th June and hopefully all the wednesdays if work permits.

Chris,
I do give the kids "dong cong cao" in powder form, add to manuka honey for them to drink. Dont find their cough improves lei. TCM says it is good for cough, that's why bought and got them to grind into powder. Agree with you. Doctor also said this cough is very common for kids until they reaches about primary school. Also, this period, lots of bronchitis cases and lots of fever/ running nose/ cough etc.. and will last for 4-7 days one. Lots of germs flying in the air.

chris, thx babe. How hav u been also?

Tiffany, perhaps u ask ur hb to manage for dat few hrs den u can sneak out for dinner wif us. :p
wow...take every wed off ah? me dun tink I can do dat every wk but 1 day shldn't b a prob. :-)
9th June is out. Its my hb's bday.
re: 冬虫草
my mum also buy from TCM for me to give Travis. Mil ask me not to give until he has fully recovered from current cough. Was crackin my brain how to feed him until saw u sayin add manuka honey. Will try to do so once he recovers.

Talkin abt takin leave, my boss initially dun wanna sign my urgent leave for yesterday coz he said he asked me to go back & settle my stuffs. So no need deduct my leave, but I insisted sayin I still got alot of leave days. I still hav over 20 days includin childcare leave. No holidays planned so dunno wat to do wif so many days also.

Maruko,

It can be arranged, just that I still need to rush home by 9.15pm. Andrea needs my smell to sleep... haha...Anyway, we do lunches so often, its ok that I miss the dinners.

Wah lao.. your boss super good lei. how I wish I have your boss too. Since you have so many leave days, take one or two in June for playdates if the response is good. I will probably check with Viv, think she should be ok as her kids are on holidays too.

Likewise, a gd employee like me is hard to find also. *vomit* hahaha...

Tiffany, Andrea needs ur smell den can sleep ah? hahaha...ok lah...we c how it goes for the dinner.
As for the playdate, i'm ON but not for every wk lah. Juz let me noe which wed.

Chris,
I cant think of how to feed the powder, so, add to manuka honey. Honey heaty meh? Thought Manuka honey is to Sooth sore throat and has some properties help in digestion/ stomach discomfort and anti-immflamation?

I dont usually cook, so, get them to grind to powder. There is a risk that the kids dont drink the brewed soup. So, powder is another way to feed them.
