Hainanese Brides, anyone???

[zapzap]

Hi chrysallisph, will send you the details of the xmas gift exchange by email.

Loinky - you delivering in feb? my SIL will be delivering in feb too, C-sect on 8th Feb.

CSI - time really flies... your delivery date is so near!!!

 

[loink]

Petrina-I want a RAT baby.. haha.. edd on 10 feb..but the baby chooses the date to be borned..

Nellie- is ur SIL's edd in late feb? can bring forward the C-sect.. I'm not considering C-sect unless really no choice & no epidural.. haha.. see the huge needle faint..

 

[zapzap]

Hi Loinky, I don't know how she got the date. It was hubby who told me and he said the gynae told my SIL that BB was growing too big. That's all. I didn't probe any further knowing my hubby's 'pattern'.

 

[hazuki]

loinky: CNY on 7th feb... I think** If bb stay in all the way, will be RAT lor...
For me, i went to get chinese name 4 my boy... the FT say muz come out after mar 26th... haiz... my edd is mar 25th... cham lor... dunno how... i everytime talk to my boy ask him stay in there longer...
for the sake of his future bah...

I also gg natural w/o epi... unless anything crops up...

 

[chrysallisph]

urm... CSI Fan - I know this sounds stupid but I think I'm really pathetic.. now that I've enabled my PM.. how do I check if I've got messages?

Petrina - I think my question to CSI Fan says it all.. about how terrible I am in the IT dept.

Nellie - Thanks. Got the email.

 

[kitty_li]

oh, can get chinese name before BB is born ah? hehs...thot usually pple go get the name after birth.

aiyoh, I totally cannot tahan w/o epi. Realised that only last week when gynae did a check for me. Unless I dilate too fast that no point using epi...otherwise, I think I'll be so cham without epi. Then again, I'm already slightly dilated. Oh dear.....*worried*

Chrysallisph,
When someone PMs you, you'll receive it in the form of an email (at the email address that you specified in your profile). Sender is somebody's email address (the person who PMs you - i.e. some stranger but it's not spam). Subject header would be...whatever the sender types in lorh. hehs...

So I guess, would also be useful to check your "Bulk Mail" or "Junk Mail" folders, in case the emails / PMs get chucked there...

Nellie,
lunch? heehee...

 

[loink]

Petrina-u got a name for ur boy so soon? thats fast.. I intend to give baby her name myself.. haha.. but seriously i thought should be after birth dan get name.. cos need to consider time, weight etc to get a suitable name.. but if c-sect dan not accurate..

Nellie-oh in that case prob have bring forward, if not difficult to deliver..

 

[madames]

Wa, getting a name sounds like a big headache ;-P I am determined to get my kids Chinese (and perhaps English name as well) myself. Don't think will consult fengshui or the likes. The husband suggest to me last night that he would like the name "Reginald" for a son (says saw one old doctor having this name and thinks it sounds classy.... got mehhh?) and "Edelweiss" for a gal. Haha, I am all for Edelweiss! But then again, better go and find out what they mean first before deciding ah ;-P

 

[kitty_li]

Wah Huey,
Reginald sounds powerful (wei1 meng3)...not bad. It's a nice name. Edelweiss...er, that's a flower right? From that song...."Edelweiss, edelweiss. every morning you greet me..."

I'm still racking my brains for a chinese name for bb. My chinese half past six one lah....

 

[zapzap]

Dear all,

I've emailed you Sherrie's address. Please check.

Janice had called up the caterer and found that they're not offering the mini high tea buffet during that period.

Check out this site. What do you think if we order the food there?

www.stufit.com.sg

 

[madames]

Haha, CSI, the Reginald name reminds me of a fierce and stern old man.... like those stoic grey haired old Englishman.... haha... wei1 meng 3... hmmmm?....

And yes, Edelweiss is the name of a flower. For a hua1 chi1 mummy like me, this name is somehow da best. Something unique too. I used to have a teacher who has this name. It was after I knew her that there is a song about this flower too

Heh, I remembered my dad used to flip the Chinese dictionary for our names!

 

[madames]

Yes, Nellie, I've got your mail. Ok shall check out the website later and return with my reply

 

[kitty_li]

yah, yah...Reginald does bring to mind those stoic, grey haired Englishman. Well, that's what your son will be like then, when he grows old, if you name him Reginald. Hehs...good mah.

Pple will be in awe of him. heehee...

Yah, my cousin also said, pick up dictionary, close eyes, open page, point to something, open eyes. That's the name. hahaha.

 

[hazuki]

waa, u all chinese name so chin chye??
My name n hb name all is counted de... So our boy name also will be counted.. But sounds nice.. So we like it...
Feng2 Hong2 Yao4 - Pang **** I still haven't decide how to convert to dialect lah... hehe

 

[rilo82]

Li Ann: u requested for the horoscope link...

Juz wanna share wif all of u. So far, i've checked, very accurate... For child planning, very useful...

http://www.usbridalguide.com/special/chinesehoroscopes/Rat.htm

 

[kitty_li]

Huey,

Yap, I'm still at work. Physically only lah. Surfing net, enjoying air-con. Gynae says it's better to go work etc (esp since I've got no bleeding nothing, just some backaches)...coz it's like some form of exercise. Stay at home also got nothing to do. Will probably end up arranging stuff at home (lagi worse, exert myself more).

 

[hamsterden]

petrina... die le, the career options for me is limited ah... astrologer, magician, painter, scientist, investigator, potter???????

only one maybe can... jeweler...

 

[hazuki]

liann: wat u working as currently? Mine is accurate...

 

[madames]

My goodness, Petrina, the horoscope is soo "zunn" for a sheep :

- They enjoy cultural things and focus much of their energy on artistic hobbies
- Sheep are easygoing and relaxed, happy to be going with the flow.
- They are independent and practical (very true), leaning more towards conservancy than liberality (very very true)
- Sheep truly enjoy being at home
- They spend their time there doing arts and crafts, cooking and knitting

 

[hazuki]

hehe, yup huiz... very zun... rooster n dragon also... our careers, our character etc.. all came true...

 

[loveangel]

hi everyone,

I'm feeling so lost when i read the postings. I'm back from my (belated) honeymoon and as promised, my gift exchange is from Japan. Haha...

Luckily i emailed Janice to ask cos i also thought the gathering is on 15th Dec. So malu. But i've written it down in my agenda liao so i'll definitely be there since i missed the last steamboat gathering.

CSI: All the best for your delivery! Keep us posted ok?

Crystalz: Congrats!!! You're very brave...no epidural wor.

Nellie: Don't give up yet. Augustine & i are also trying for a baby. I hope i can make it in time for a Rat baby...a close colly told me to relax & take things easy. If you're stressed, will be harder to get preggy.

 

[hamsterden]

nellie, the food from stufit sounds and looks good. can consider...maybe can order the golden pillow too...

petrina, mine can be considered as sales or business development ba? None close to that is mentioned. The prediction for my hubby is rather accurate i must say.

Anyone using moisturizer or anything that nourish and moisture the face from TDF? There are so many products to choose from...
http://www.oceanhealth.com/skincare_tdfantiaging_index.shtml
so many that i am a bit bit lost le...

 

[rilo82]

Huiz: In vietnam i wearing white suit i think. I mati liao. I don't have white shoes... haha... wear black shoes with white suit a bit obiang right? haha.

Li Ann: Thanks thanks. You going to MIA to where again this time?

CSIL This week ah? That means 6 more days left including today. Can countdown liao....

Wah lau, i see you all trying to get baby i kan cheong lei. Make me want to have baby also.

 

[hazuki]

Lance: white suit, black shoe is super fashion killer... nono... aiyah, go buy children's shoe polish n polish ur black shoe... haha, after tat still can wash away de...

All have bb is good.. more fun...

CSI delivering this fri.. supposedly... actual date dunno when...

 

[kitty_li]

wah, lance kan cheong liaoz ah...hahaha...better be sure worh. You can't reverse this sort of thing. kekekeke...

 

[hamsterden]

lance... MIA means i disappear from forun for a long time cos busy with work la... but these few days am in the nuah mood (cos next week going on leave le) so can spend some time to browse forum.

hee. unless you are able to buy a pair of white shoes at vietnam, else think you got to live with it...

 

[madames]

White shoes ah, like a bit hard to get leh. Seldom see places selling liao.

Li Ann, I am using TDF's Mild Astringent. Works quiet well for me coz it reduces oiliness. If u wan u let me know okie? The sale here is still on. But then again, I need to check first if they carry the item u want

 

[rilo82]

petrina: Ha ha, like that also can ah. You mean use those children white shoe powder ah?

Li Ann: You so good. On leave can nua, I next week leave, this week must rush all my things like siao.

Huiz: Ya lo. Bo bian.

CSI: Ha ha, ya lo. No reverse one. Keke...

Btw, i heard Nellie say ah mais going lunch today ah? Where u all go eat good food?

 

[madames]

Oh no please don't use the white shoe powder la Lance. U wun wanna spoil your shoe la. And even if u really use it, it's very obvious and when dry, it will flake wan....

 

[janf]

li ann - im using the AHA Revitalizing Lotion 10 and AHA Facial Wash. oso got huiz to help me buy the mild astrigent. btw, how much izit, huiz? let me know b4 the gathering ya. so tat i can rob the bank 1st..

lance - u can get a cream/light brown pair of shoes.. Pedro/Aldo has quite few nice pairs..

 

[madames]

Oh my goodness janf.... u are funny la... I can't help but laugh out loud when I read your comment. Let me go check the receipt later and I let u know tomorrow

This mild sunblock comes with mild moisturizing properties so it's good for oily skin like mine. Been using this range since my doc recommended it to me.
