This and That

Child, others, Parenting

Lots of things to say, not gonna go into details just the highlights:-

Blessed mom, your girls wanted to know the sound of the piggy banks? Here it is. I couldn’t get it uploaded yesterday. Sorry. Hope it’s not too late. And its a little dark too sorry. *Details of the price and materials are here*

———————————————————————————

Keatkeat is back in school today. Sometimes things are just so weird. When I don’t complain OUT LOUD. He just doesn’t get well. But the moment I do, eh, his condition just gets better.

Binbin had his revenge last night. For whatever reason, he refused to lie on his mattress and chose to sleep with me. I was fast asleep way before anyone else. (I’m exhausted remember?)

Allan waited for the rooster to fall asleep, so that he could carry that little rascal back to his mattress. In the end, Allan fell asleep before him.

So last night was a one-leg-on-my-face, one-hand-on-my-tummy, one-kick-on-my-back and one-slap-on-my-chest.

I CAN’T SLEEP!!!!!! *Arrrggghhhhhh*

Then he will blabber some nonsensical sentences in my ear with a *whack* from his hand or leg almost instantly.

*sigh*

Ok, so we are quits now, ya?

For those of you who missed out the “Ooops! Ooops again!” post, you probably won’t know why I call this his revenge.

*laugh* Go read if you have 1-2 mins to spare.

Postage for the ‘talking’ Piggy Banks

others

*Deep Breath*

I’m pretty pissed today. Nothing to do with the kids, but everything to do with Singapore Post.

There were orders for the piggy banks (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, go see here). The kind-hearted people prefer to have the piggy banks mailed to them, instead of meeting up with me.

So I went down to find out the postage rates. The staff at Singapore Post told me it cost $3.74 and so I told my ‘potential buyers’. I was curious why there were hardly any response after I told them the rates.

After receiving a payment (finally), I brought the ‘Talking Pink Piggy’ down to Sing-Post to be delivered and only to discover that the postage only cost S$1.50 !!!!

It was a difference of $2.24. Questions were popping in my head:

“Oh my, maybe that’s why no one responded after I told them the postage rate? Because it was way too high. They might have thought I might be a $2.24 money swindler !”

“Oh dear! Now I’ve got to send the difference of $2.24 back to the buyer for today’s order fast! I don’t have her bank account number so I have to send her an email a.s.a.p. But will she check her mail today? cos’ sometimes she doesn’t. What if the item reaches her first before she reads my email and saw that the postage is actually $1.50, then she would think that I was dishonest too.”

I was pissed and nervous.

But I guess, I over-think sometimes. She was so nice, she told me to keep the difference and use it to buy sweets for the kids. (too bad, she doesn’t have a blog, can’t link her here) Thank you, thank you!

I didn’t buy sweets for them, but I gave them the money. Guess what? They chose to put it inside their piggy banks. *wink*
