It's a Small Small World

I feel that the world is indeed getting smaller.

I have a colleague whom we got acquainted when her department was sitting on the same floor as my department. After her department moved to another floor, we still bump into each other once in a while, and we continue to exchange our hellos and chat up a bit.

Then she found me on Facebook. I was browsing through her list of friends and I noticed that we have many common friends. The best part is she even knows both my sisters-in-law (they don't know each other). Come to think of it, she's probably the only person in Singapore who knows both my sisters-in-law, ie Chester's sis and my brother's wife, before I even know them!

The search continues.....

It's a Small Small World

After buying the Aprica stroller, we decided to sell our Maclaren Techno XT. So I made a posting on a popular forum for mothers who WTB and WTS baby items.

A couple of days went by but there were no interested parties. Thinking that the response will be slow, I didn't check the thread for a while, then out of the blue, someone indicated interest and told me to PM her more details, which I did.

One of my girlfriends, who visits Chester's blog on and off, read that we are selling our Maclaren, and MSNed me yesterday, wondering why or if we have any negative feedbacks, cos she intends to get one for her son. She also told me that she found a good deal to buy an almost brand new XT on the net.

Then it occurred to me that the person who enquired about the stroller could be her, cos the way she described the XT on sale sounded like the way I posted it. After cross-checking our userids, we realised that it was the both of us trying to bargain with each other, and we collapsed laughing.

Thread closed, deal done.

Asher and Joan

Happy First Month, Asher!

This afternoon we attended Asher's party at Joan's place, which was specially arranged for friends and colleagues. This is Part Deux of their celebrations (they held the family party last Sunday).

While pregnant, I have envisioned the day that we take a nice picture together with our babies .... Dream came true!

Mayenne & Me; Asher & Joan

Though this is the first time Mayenne and Asher meet face-to-face, but I'm sure they are already acquainted in their own telepathic ways when their mummies got together for their regular MJ sessions before they were born. :)

I'm really glad and thankful to have Joan as a preggo-buddy as we have shared endless information/tips/stories on anything and everything on pregnancy and childbirth, from tracking down the best discounts on baby/maternity products to sharing tried-and-tested methodologies vs attempt-at-your-own-risk old housewives' ways.

In many ways, we are very similar in the baby department: we have been trying for a while (and finally success!), we attended the same ante-natal lessons at TMC, both delivered at Gleneagles, both babies passed meconium while inside mummy's tummy, resulting in Emergency LSCS. Talk about camaraderie.

Hopefully our kids can be good friends too, as an extension of their mummies' friendship. Some even suggested that Joan and I may become in-laws, which would mean more MJ sessions!!
