I can't stand it!

I really can't stand female drivers who horn at their own species !

I mean, as women, haven't we been discriminated enough on the road by the opposite sex?

So why turn against your own species?

Was driving along the road today when I witnessed a lady driver horning impatiently at another who was apparently trying her best to do the reverse parking. Usually when I encounter such incident, I would wait for the driver till she gets into the lot.

The incessant horning irritated me to the core.......and my irritation was worsen when I saw the female culprit.

Feel like telling her off..." Hey bitch! Don't you know we shouldn't bite our own species?"

Then again, maybe different people have differing experiences with their female counterparts. For my case, I have always been more a girl-girl person. You know what I mean? It's either the female species like you, or they don't. Could be cz' I am an average-looker, or maybe of my easy-going nature.... or my non-bitchy nature, I can click with most of my kind quite easily. And hence over the years, my first instinct is to take sides with my own species. That could be the reason why I am blessed with many sincere female friends over the years cz' being women, we can easily sniff the real ones from the superficial ones.

My mental list

As the big D-day draws nearer, my nesting instinct is becoming stronger and stronger.

Today, CC opened our wardrobe door and let out a big " Wau!!!"..... followed by, " Eeee, you trying to run a grocery shop business, is it huh?"

Hahahaha, can't blame him, cz' I have been doing the strangest things these days..... from doing last minute midnight supermarket shopping at Shop N Save..... to asking maid to literally wipe and clean the entire house.

 Toiletries enough to last me half a year!
 


Not forgetting tissue paper, wipe tissues and cotton buds.
 
Hmmm, I have not taken photos of my dried food stock yet.... but they are all lined up abundantly in the kitchen cabinent.
 
Oh..... that reminds me, I have to arrange for a hair cut appointment to trim Nutty Gal's hair...... before I deliver. Her bi-monthly hair cut is due next week.
 
What else ????
 
Oh yes, must help CC to set up the home office in our study room. He is transferring his stuffs from the current office to our home. I like the idea of him working from home. Good to strike a clear family cum work balance. As for me, I would be setting up my own haven in Nutty Gal's extension room. Which means I might have to make another trip down to Ikea to order the shelves and drawers.
 
 

 

For Domestic Rat and all the mummies-to-be

 

Okie, this is what I have promised DR.....a list of baby items to share.

 

1) Steriliser from Avent. I have been using this brand for the past few years. In fact, the one which I bought in 2003 is still functioning well. I like this particular brand cz' it's user-friendly and save me the trouble of having to watch over the stove while waiting for the bottles to be boiled. Available at Isetan, Robinson, Mothercare and Kiddy Place.

 2) This particular heavy-duty pump can be obtained from the internet site. More commonly known and used in the medical field, it promises greater suction and hence, better milk flow. My sister has been using this for about a year or so and she is all thumbs up for this gadget than those found on the commercial shelves. The good thing is, the price is around the same as those commercial ones, about $350 for 2 sides.

3) Recommended by my childhood pal, this trolley can be moved from one room to another. I like the drawers which surprisingly, are extremely light-weight and user-friendly. Can be found at Ikea under Home Organisation, Level 1.

These are what I bought from Mothercare the other day........

 Pink backpack from allerhand.....to carry all the barangs on trips.

 
 Bath tub.... with the cute cartoons!
 


A pair of sweet booties for Jelly Bean.
 
And finally,
 


Bodysuits for Jelly Bean's first month birthday and all the special occasions.

 

 

Nice folks

At 33 week with a big tummy , the folks at Eunos market place are pleasantly surprised to see me faithfully making my weekly trip for fresh purchases still.

I was so touched when the fish monger aunty offered to do home delivery for me during my confinement. " Just give me a call, list down all the things you need, including stuffs from the pork and fish stalls. We will drop by  your place since it's on the way", aunty told me.

Call it chemistry, but I have a special liking for this fish monger aunty..... feel very comfortable with her.

I enjoy going to the market place, and I make it a point to be there as early as 6.30am. It's not crowded at all during this time and I find it easier to chit-chat and foster relationships with the market folks. They are really very nice and simple folks...... a cheerful and diligent bunch of people.

Their concerns range from asking when I am due, making sure I don't carry heavy stuffs........to constantly reminding me that the floor is slippery.

It's a very heart-warming feeling, really.

Of course, I love being addressed as " Xiao mei" affectionately by most of them too..... hee..... imagine being called " xiao mei" at this ripe age of 32.... quite shiok leh, the feeling.
