What Do You See??

My brother, Jeff, and sister in law, Penny, are expecting their first child in Spring 2008. Penny just had the amniocentesis (抽羊水) done 2 days ago and the results was GOOD!

This morning, Jeff and I IM'ed a little. Obviously, my first question was "you got the result back?" Here is our conversation:

Miss CHU 朱小姐: got the results?

Penny 叉燒: yes.... everything is OK.

Miss CHU 朱小姐: boy or girl?

** one minute later, no response **

Miss CHU 朱小姐: BOY OR GIRL AH?????

** 5 seconds later, request to accept/transfer file **

Miss CHU 朱小姐: image too small la

Miss CHU 朱小姐: baby sneezing??

Penny 叉燒: hahahaha

Miss CHU 朱小姐: cannot tell wor

so, here is the image Jeff sent me.

Conversation continues:

Miss CHU 朱小姐: is this really your baby??

Penny 叉燒: look closer la...

Miss CHU 朱小姐: looks like the baby is driving, and slaming on the brake

Miss CHU 朱小姐: aiya, the image is very very very tiny

Penny 叉燒: shifting gears.....

Miss CHU 朱小姐: so, it's not image of your bb la

Penny 叉燒: no la

It's Official !

It's official, I think. It's been 3 weeks in a row that Ashlyn went diaperless, even nap time and sleep time at night. Zero accidents (touch on wood).

She calls out everytime she needs to use the bathroom. I think it's pretty safe to say it's official that Ashlyn IS now potty trained. So proud of her! ; )

There goes savings on diaper money! HA HA!

ARE YOU READY ??

Finally, we got good news from the Cisco Family Connection, where they offer daycare/pre-school/pre-K programs. They now have openings for both Ashlyn and Alex, and they can start as early as Oct. 22. Although it's only a 3-day week, it should be a good start for them. If we give up the spaces, we will be on the bottom of the waiting list. No, No, No, that's not gonna happen!!

Baba picked up all the necessary paperwork this morning, and we must turn in the applications and fee no later than tomorrow evening to make it official.

There are so many questions running in my mind since we received the email last night. Would they get used to it? Would they cry on the first day? How am I gonna video tape both of them on the first day of school? What time should we start? Is 9am too early? Can they start 9:30am?

Oh well, they are going to start going to school some time anyways, why not start now?

Now I can tell people "YES, my kids are going to school now!"

V. I. P.

COACH has the V.I.P./Preferred customers sale event going on right now (by invitation only), and I'm lucky that I have some V.I.P. friends. My dear friend, Elaine, she's so generous that she sent me her invitaion. 25% off all Fall merchandise.

I went and shopped for coworkers in Taiwan, and I was told the price in Taiwan is twice of USA's. So, I picked up couple of items for my coworkers, then I found this. Probably new this season, never seen it before, the COACH Beauty item. I knew they introduced the perfume earlier this year, now, they have lipstick (3 shades) and a shimmer powder compact.

I bought the lip stick color ROSE, a more neutral color, retail $18, and the shimmer powder compact for my cousin as her birthday gift, retail $38.

You see, there's even the COACH logo on the lipstick itself.
