For meOriginally posted by Rhonda:Yeah!
Some of the Asians here are like that and my Caucasian colleagues can't stand it. They commented, "Not really that sick, but acting like they're dying!" 
I dun expect them to feed me next time -
Kids are a blessing ....

there is a reason why I felt so bad for my brother in law.Originally posted by elindra:I think you are mothering yr niece and nephew more then their mother
She uses 'breastfeeding & kids clingy to her' to bozz him around.
Poor man does a lot of chores.
Early morning, he takes out trash, brings down the laundry (He dont wash it, cos I am still asleep and he didnt want the machine sounds to wake me up, my room is next to the laundry room/garage.)
Then he rush home, rush his dinner, sit down, feed the kids, bathe the kids and stays up with the kid if either of them sleep as late as 4am. then he is off to work at 6am.
Sis, except for the morning, wake with the kids, bring them downstairs, stay with them until they are settled and disappear upstairs to surf internet. I make breakfast for adults & kids.
And she appears only when I need to start prepare lunch. she helps feed the kids lunch.
And when either kids needs to nap, I take the still awake kid out for a walk to keep the house quiet.
Then back home to prepare dinner & later wash up. -
The proposed F1 rt is like this
Raffles Ave -> Esplanade Dr -> Empress Place -> St Andrew's Rd -> Stamford Rd -> Nth Bridge Rd -> Stamford Rd -> Raffles Blvd -> Temasek Blvd -> Temasek Ave -> Raffles Blvd -> Raffles Ave
It will go round the Swissotel and Fountain of Wealth -
That's good... cause life is just going to get tougher and tougher and it's going to get harder and harder to earn that bit of money to survive on and feed the family.Originally posted by sbst275:For me

The old days when our parents can make a living AND feed their grandparents and keep everyone warm, well-fed and happy, will only be possible in the future if you're earning really big bucks cause of the continually high inflation rates, cost of living and housing, and etc. -
I hope they've made provisions for barricades and spectator safety!Originally posted by sbst275:The proposed F1 rt is like this

Anyway so far over the past 6 mths, I've not seen excalty how the friends in wheelchair board the bus with the help of the ramp... -
Its the same for USA.Originally posted by Rhonda:In Singapore, most of the elderly don't have a good independant spirit. Most of them, when they are just a little bit ill, act like they are on their deathbed.
Over here, they can have a huge operation, like a Coronary Artery Bypass Graft, and by the third day, they are up and about with determination!
The elderly are also very practical here. They talk to their children about what kind of funeral arrangements they want, and sometimes, they even pay for their own funeral package, so they won't burden their children upon their death!
I really admire their attitude!
jetta even found me job adverts for folks to function as live in caretaker for such folks.
I was seriously considering taking up such positions. Except that I dont have a green card and its going to be kinda lehchey. -

I think I googled for NEwater the other day
It seems the Aussie govt is trying to force their way for the water reclamation project at QSL -
I actually find it pleasant to nurse the elderly here, who tend to have such strong independant spirits and who are generally very uppity and positive about life in general. Even at that age, they are still learning and keen to experience life!Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Its the same for USA.

I love to find time to sit down and talk to them a bit cause they usually have lived such interesting lives too! Can learn so much from them! I often encourage them, when they are feeling a bit down, that I've learnt tons from them and they have enriched my life with their presence and they sometimes giggle so happily at that! -
yah lah...Originally posted by Rhonda:Fwaaaaah!! Needless to say, she married rich!
I am not jealous though. -
Yeah! That's how one of my colleagues deal with patients and their families who keep pressing the buzzer for wee little things and who won't do a thing for themselves.Originally posted by elindra:Put it this way VK, she is gonna miss you lots when you return to SG coz she has to do the chores herself
She says, "I'll help them all they want, cause in the back of my mind, I'm thinking, 'Ha! Wait till you go home and have nobody to be at your beck and call, then you'll really suffer, you lazybones!'" -

Good. Cause the rich have their own set of problems. Besides, wealth might not be everlasting either.Originally posted by viciouskitty74:yah lah...

You confirm need wan lah.Originally posted by elindra:Wahhhh

Though domestic maid are cheaper and long term.
The confinement nanny are expensive though. Only good for a few months after you given birth.
My g/f had bad experiences with mothers or mother in law offering to help with confinements...so unless you know your mother or mother in law had really helped with confinement very recently. its always better to employ one. -
Very true...all I need to do is look at my bossOriginally posted by Rhonda:Good. Cause the rich have their own set of problems. Besides, wealth might not be everlasting either.
Coz of people fighting over the inheritance he has fallen into depression
Anyway Mr Pinky Bear is working tonight
So even though he is back, I won't see him -
I love the 'rough and tumble' people here much much more than the 'prim and proper' ones.
I love how genuine the 'rough and tumble' folks are! They don't pretend, they are as they are, and I really love being acquainted with them. THey are truly salt of the earth!
I'm so lucky to have met quite a few of them in the course of my work here. And that has made me realise, that if marrying rich means I have to put on those 'airs' and be obsessed with my physical appearance and always present myself neatly dressed and not a hair out of place, then sorry, I'd rather marry a truck driver and be part of the 'rough and tumble' gang!
Like what one of my colleagues from the UK said, "The bloody Aussies can be more status-conscious than us bloody Brits, damnit!" (She peppers her conversations with 'bloody' and 'hell' etc a lot! ) -
But I wonder can be it done this week
Cos there's some road works at Bras Basah Rd
Never mind, later I'll take a bus ride down and take a look -
Err definately not my mum coz her job entails that she travelsOriginally posted by viciouskitty74:You confirm need wan lah.
