(2005/09) ROM in Sept 2005

[queenie_30]

wxyang,
i too believe tt there will alwayz be someone better,smarter,richer,more gd looking than the one we hv by our sides.It's a fact!
But if we keep searching,looking,hunting,we'll nvr be satisfied!It applies to our home,car,job,etc,etc,etc...........

Everyone & everything seems to be exciting then slowly the fire begins to die & it's all very exciting & challenging to me to keep the flames burning.Maybe tt's why I'm in the same line for more than a decade!

It's natural to hv doubts at times & ask ourselves questions if we did the right thing to hv married this person at this time.......we hv made a vow for thick & thin so...

Though for me,i dont share the same sentiments caz i'm way past 30 & i've had many men in my life tt came & went.I was the dancing queen in Md sultan during the late 90's.Heeheehee!!!!!!!I've really enjoyed my 20's.I'm glad tt i didnt tie the knot with whoever proposed to me & i cld hv had a child but didnt caz I wont be who i am today if i did all tt then.

 

[queenie_30]

Hey,
can someone pls tell me excatly when is the 7th month & also there r 2 7th mths this yr,when is the other one?????

 

[queenie_30]

ah bear,
i was told tt 3megapixles r enuf for regular taking of pics unless u wanna take other kinds of shots then perhaps u'll need more megapixels.Mine is 5 though.Heehee!!!!!
Do consider battery life as well.

 

[teacup]

Queenie: 25th July and 24th August are the first days of 7th month.

 

[weixiongy]

wlecome back da jie!!!!!
seems like your are tired from your bkk trip....same as me when i went there earlier this year!!!! haa haa haa
agree with you, most impt is to be contended lah hee hee hee

i juz found out that the tampiens DBSS project will require an initial booking fee of 5% in cash!!!! thats over 14K!!!!! so sian now, really monday super blue!!!!!

hehehe as for camera, more impt is the ISO. the higher the better. right now only fuji camera got the highest iso.

 

[weixiongy]

haizzz think i will have to abandon my idea of getting the tampines flat liao.....unable to come up with that amount of cash needed to pay for the initial booking......haizzzzz

 

[suetan]

glad to see alot of happenings! Am so busy at work, sian....

Heard next time mite ban certain websites.... so we cant surf during work. horrid rite??? argh!

 

[cherz]

Dajie, y sleep on the bed further from the wall?

Weixiong, what’s ISO?

 

[man_tou_bear]

Hello... i slpt the whole day. heh... tat's how tired i m aft 2 slpless wks... anyway on leave tmr also to go shopping.. GSS ending liao better grab some stuff.. also gonna bring my sis to Olive Suite to make her dress for my wedding...

Weixiong, orh will check my email.. i haven't got the time to do anything much.. this wkend was pretty much burnt on the 2 dinners we had as belated bday for my dad and FIL. the rest of the times was spent on my chores.. only got to catch up with slp today... heehee...

Abt the Tampines DBSS project, i m sure u will be able to use ur CPF and the HDB 40K grant as the downpayment. Have u checked yet? even EC can use the 30K grant as downpayment leh.. dun give up hope.

Tea, i got my Aussino card liao.. it was sent to my new home instead.. went to the Aussino sale on Fri and bought some towels..

Dajie i also make a pt to slp further from the wall if there are 2 beds.. i dunno why though.. just an instinct.. heehee...looks like u had fun in BKK.. any luck getting the meds? ya the 2nd 7th mths ends on 21st Sept.. why are u asking?

Me decided on the Canon IXUS 60 aft doing my research.. gd camera.. heh...

[queenie_30]

Hey,double post not my fault hor.The system gone nuts!

 

[queenie_30]

cherz,
i cant recall the reason why sleep furthur fr wall but i jz do it!Do also like tt s'times still kena!

 

[queenie_30]

ah bear,
asking abt 2nd 7th mth caz it's new to me.I can be quite superstitious.

Frankly,i felt tt my trip wasnt as fun as i expected.Felt tt my frens shopped w/o any limit while i had,so seeing them SPEND was oh well.....It was tiring,wake 9-10am slept at 3-4am BKK time which is 1hr behind sg.Not really my idea of a holiday lah.I prefer to own time own target & really jz chill out.

 

[queenie_30]

My mil had a slip & fell,she bruised her elbow & knee but is fine.It was wet & her shoes din help to prevent her fall plus she was carrying groceries.Lucky it wasnt serious.

My sil,her kids & maid all coming to my plc tmw to stay for abt 10days.Wah,my plc become child care centre yet agn!Hate to be ard,i'd rather stay in my rm & hiberante.I feel VERY uncomfrotable when i see my plc messy with toys & stuff.Feel stressed when i see the way they bang toys against my tv console etc.............argh!!!!!!!!

 

[anise]

queenie... hope ur mil is betta now.. hmm i can imagine how stress u are, seeing the kids messing up ur place n etc.. Hopefully they dun turn ur place upside down ya.. hmm so ur fren shop like crazy.. in fact go bkk buy branded abit risky as u never noe if they r REAL as wat u mentioned.. so this trip not really up to ur expectation huh..

anna.. hope u feeling betta.. drink plenty of water...

last night to go.... crazy boss.. got a meeting at 6.. thot i super woman like dat

 

[man_tou_bear]

Hello,

Anna and Weixiong, do take care. dun fall sick ok? weather is cranky.. one day so hot one day raining.

Dajie, hope ur MIL is ok... oops u will be driven mad for the next 10 days!! heehee... well... i will just keep quiet and not irritate u further... will u be flying around then?

Bet who will be preggie next? i bet JOY!! heehee... she is gonna kill me...

Anise, jia you wor! gg to USA yet?

 

[queenie_30]

ah bear,
mil is ok but will monitor her condition for nx few days.Not keen on idea they coming as she'll be very tired.Gd thing is i wont be ard much as got 3 two days flt so in & out frequently.U knw,hi & bye!Now i really think shd get those hourly maid but gotta set aside a budget.

In laws r really complicated lot & sensitive issue.Hb really got an asshole boss who is victimizing him at work daily & i dont/cant help him,feel sad & by telling him MY concerns will jz add to his stress.Wat do i do?

 

[suetan]

Bear> send my regards to Rachel too! My bet will be on joy too!!!

 

[cherz]

CONGRATS RACHEL!!

Haha I also betting on JOY!!!

Time really flies….rem last time Rachel was saying she wanted a pig baby….so her dream is gonna be realized. Thought she worked in her co. for quite long….then change job ah.

Jannie, what seminar u goin? My colleagues went for SAP seminar at Suntec ytd…they say the food catering not good.

Anna & Weixiong, take care ya. Now a lot of ppl having flu n sore throat…virus spreading ard.

 

[teacup]

Wow.. congrats rachel.

Queenie: oh dear. try to stay cool. I know what you mean by stress. the last time i had house warming and there were kids pushing my furniture and jumping hard on my bed and sofa bed... i felt damn stress sia.... hope your MIL recover soon.

[queenie_30]

Me?Kids r such a hassle!
So tt pretty much leaves with joy!Hahaha!

 

[queenie_30]

Thanks tea!
I really needed some comforting.

 

[maruko]

cherz, me went to the Adobe Asia Tour Seminar...the speakers r so boring...can c quite a number of ppl dozing off... guess if me one of them...hehehe...

dajie, hows ur MIL? hope she is gettin better...actualli me also cant stand kids running ard wif their toys n u never noe where they will knock wif the toys in their hands...

me also bet on Joy...hehe...tink she the more stable one...DH shld b enjoyin his "er ren shi jie" now while the rest of us haven gone thru customary...

anna u sick ah? muz drink more water hor...me also abit sick today...was feelin nauseous this afternoon n abit giddy...dunno if its the lunch i had...BUT feelin better liao

[man_tou_bear]

Hahha.. I think Joy is feeling the heat! heehee.. I agree with Dajie that the rest are too busy with their lives to have a baby for now... but who knows? may be they will surprise us??

Dajie, well, i think its no point telling ur hb how ur feel abt his boss... u can only listen to him complain and pamper him a bit more lor... i guess u can always complain to us and we will be here listening to u..

Cherz, Rachel just change job recently in June, that's why she din discover her pregnacy till last wk.. thought she was so stress that her period din come...

dajie> yeah totally dried up liao lah...... now gotta start savings all over again...

maruko> yeah enjoying "er ren shi jie" and doing all the housework.. lots of chores sia..heheh

 

[queenie_30]

ah bear,
the thing with my hb's idiotic boss is VERY bad.He's driving my hb out.Hb has lost weight.His mood is badly affected & thus is a chain reaction towards me.....hope he gets a new job quick.

 

[queenie_30]

DH,
the 2 ladies i went BKK with were my ex team mates,ex cols as no longer flying.We knw each other for 8-9yrs already.1 is a divorcee & jz bought a new plc with her bf & the other is "seen" by a multi millionaire.
The divorcee also buys things for her new plc yet bought alot for herself.
Oh well,we're all different.

 

[queenie_30]

joy,
true accidents can happen but i guess we feel tt u r the 1 tt wld be most prepared if u got preggie i guess.We cld be very wrong but our bets r still on u for now.

Mil seems fine today,her knee swell as gone down as she applied some super medicated ointment fr China tt costs only $1.50.But she said can feel some pain which is expected so we'll see the next few days.More concerned on her insides then outside.

 

[queenie_30]

I guess,NONE of us likes our place to be messed up.Funny thing is though my place is rather spacious in my opinion.It still feels so cramp.We'll hv 6 adults & 2 monsters at home.Lucky i hv my private sanctuary which is my bedrm cum study rm.As long i got my internet(i'm a mouse potato),i'm happy caz it takes me away almost like reading a book.

 

[man_tou_bear]

Wah DH u finally make an appearance. so Mon lunch, 1pm meet at Dhoby Ghaut? set? Weixiong can swap lunch hr? wat shall we eat? heehee...

DH u go shopping in Carrefour? heehee i do mine in NTUC! my hb is even more aunty than me.. heh.. everything also compare prices...

Anna, do take care. If not feeling well go home and rest.. pushing urself also no use right? worse is u spread it to ur cols! heehee... wah how can it be me getting preggie next? AD also haven't come yet!

Joy, yes we are betting on u... dun let us down ya?? heehee...

Weixiong, i wasn't bullying Jannie lah.. i just helping her NOT to fall aslp mah...

Dajie, wah ur hb's boss from hell ah?? so bad? ya i can imagine the impact on u.. but he just had this job for abt a yr right? nv hear u complain abt the boss before leh.... how come all of a sudden so much probs?

 

[queenie_30]

ah bear,
wish can join u all for lunch too but gg hkg on mon.
Yes,he got the job bfe we got married abt 1 yr now.It was fine though the boss was temperamental but nvr really gv him much probs til recently & my hb cant take it & they had an exchg of words.Hb's boss has a VERY bad reputation in the industry yet his boss keeps him as somehow he brings biz into e company.He's 40+,single,has bad personal habits,BO & uses vulgarity.
