    24 Hour Food Stall = Lack of freshness???

    Dear mummies, do u think that food stalls which operate 24 hours a day tend to keep their food for a longer period of time, hence affecting their quality??? There was once I ordered bee hoon from a 24 hour nasi lemak stall. The uncle gave me lotsa bee hoon & I thought he was being kind. However...

    In a PUBLIC space where there are people walking by &/or sitting down nearby, if your hubby shouts at you or expresses his displeasure with you while gesticulating wildly in a very loud voice (despite you crying), do you 1) Keep quiet & let him shouts all he wants (bear in mind that his...

At the fruit section, I saw an auntie in her early 50s OPENING A BOX OF CHAMPAGNE GRAPES & PUTTING ONE INTO HER MOUTH TO TEST IT & THEN CLOSE THE BOX & WALK AWAY!!! Oh my gosh! Is testing allowed? If she had decided to buy the grapes &...

    How many of you here take your grandparents into consideration when TTC?

    I do. Maybe it is because I belong more to the traditional school. I want my grandparents to be able to see their little ones when they are still alive because I think it is very sad if a child grows up not knowing who or how his grandparent looks like. I think this problem is a consequence of...

    Mine definitely are!!! They live in Jurong East & I am very sure they are well-known throughout the whole block (dare not type the block number here. Hah!). In fact, I think the block opposite too! Why? Because they quarrel almost everyday, any time of the day. And I really mean anytime. Eg...

    MIL's medical bills & my hubby's Medisave

    Hi ladies, I would like to ask this question. Recently, my hubby paid for his mother's hospital medical bill using his Medisave. Do you think it is only right that his siblings also chip in by paying my hubby what he would have paid if he had used cash upfront instead? Or they should just keep...

    Window On The Park Buffet Restaurant@ Somerset MRT, Cavenagh Road

    I went there last weekend with my hubby thinking that we had snagged a great bargain buffet for the price is $34/pax. UOB & DBS card holders get a 1-for-1 privilege!!! So we went there full of expectations but alas... the food there sucks big time. I tried all the dim sum there but they were...

    What are the things your hubby do that you consider sweet?

    For me, it is during meal times because most of the time, he will save the majority of the food for me even though we are supposed to eat it half half. And he will say "Dear dear must eat more." This can happen during meal times at home or outside. And I find this gesture sweet~~~. Oh! And I...

    For me, my hubby started to talk about our future together on the second date, like how big I want my flat to be, how many kids I want to have, by what age I want to give birth, etc... I was quite surprised he made up his mind so quickly! So then I know he was serious about me. And no, there...
