Mine is side by side and the gap is roughly 50cm apart. I also put a potted plant between the stove and sink bt funni thing is the plant wil "die" easily each time I replace the plant. so in the end I fed up and leave the pot empty and put my hand detergent inside. I guess tat area not "suitable" for putting plants ba...

Thanks Cokelight...hope everything will work out for both of them!

Bt I guess gynaes will provide u MCs when there is any need or excuse chit? Perhaps u can check it out....as u may need to keep the A/L in case yr baby may need yr attention in future or in case of any emergencies. Such boss really not understanding and do tink he is a family man himself! Shame! Har....if got emergency cases, then how? Must go back office report to him for 1/2 a day then go off ah? Then wat is the meaning behind emergency leave? I guess he will not be too happi if his staff taking emergency leaves ba? Really "Guo fen"!

Okok....tink I will tel Jean abt the counselling thing provided she herself wanted to do so.... Anyone of u hv any counselling centre to recommend? Sorri for the trouble.

I guess tat is the only thing I can do and help her watever I can...bt not to anyhow give advices ba... I also afraid to screw up the whole thing and be label as the bad person! zirhk3355, any good advice how we can get Xave to go counselling? i also really do not wish them to break up...

Ok Mr Chong, will put up once I hv tok the pics for yr betta advice.

Bt I tort annual leaves is our entitlement? And if cannot take leaves for more than 3 days, then how to clear leaves if there is a need?

zirhk3355, honestly I tink my friend has done her part by talking to her HB frequently.... Up to the state tat she can compromise him going drinking bt not to the extent of drinking till 8am!! And u noe wat Xave says? He says there is no way he will chg or compromise?????? And as my friend's job is very stressful, he dun even bother to lift a finger to help out in the hsewrk or lok after the dog. Instead he wan Jean to cook for him somemore. I feel tat Xave is not putting in any effort to keep the marriage going. And he is not in Sales line, in fact he is in government sector! Precisely! Wat is there to hide from wife? Can she? Even without children? Hw come her lawyer never advises her? Bt the problem is Xave refuses to mit up with any of us..as he has moved back to his mum's place. So there is no way for the counselling part cos he has chosen to run away from reality. I do agree tat I shd not poke into their affairs. Bt seeing my friend in tis state really breaks my heart lor... Hmmm....Xave is a guy with lotsa of pride...dun tink he will wan to do tat and judging from his beahviour, he has no wish to salvage the marriage... Sigh! Hopefully they will work out on themselves soon....Like most of the forum folks mention, I shd not interfere! I did tat.....and I always end my conversation with "Final decision still lies in u, u gotta make the decision yrself and most impt u must feel comfortable". I guess tat is the best I can do and I can offer her my help by loking after her doggie during wkdays and help her with hsewk in weekends...

My friend (Jean) is in the process to separation. But there is a problem. I also dunno how to help her...Hope all of u hv valuable advices. Story goes like this....My Husband's friend, lets call him Xave and his wife Jean. They have been together for a few years and finally ROM 4 years back and applied for a new flat 3 years back. Initially I would say they are a great couple together...bt as the years does by, Jean starts to put on weight and it is alot....I tort she got pregnant...bt its not. She went to the doc's and doc just diagnosed her as water retention. We were not tat close actually til recently I came to noe they are divorcing... Xave starts to go drinking every weekend for the past 2 years. Initially was oni every Sats and will go bk ard 2am...bt things start to go from back to worse... then become 3am, 4am and recently 8am!! Jean told me tis does not happens on Sats oni, he even does so on Fris and sometimes when he is on afternoon shift on Mons, he will go on Suns too....And when Jean wants to stop him from going drinking, Xave will throw temper by knocking his head against the wall! Jean starts to pour her woes to me for the past few mths...I actually told her I suspect her HB got another gal outside...else how come he can go "drinking" till 8am in the morning and does not reek of alcohol the next morning he comes back???? The reason he gives Jean is he is afraid tat he will get caught in road blocks and will oni comes back when he is sober! I find tis ridiculous.... Upon my advice, Jean starts to check his wallet and HP. Unfortunately, his HP is always locked with password! (This is very suspicious liao, y he wan to lock his hp? anything secret?) Then come his wallet. Xave is a stingy person even to Jean...Even they go out for dinner in a cofy shop, Xave will ask Jean to pay her back $2 for the fishball noodles! Bt he can foot the bill on hard liquors for a few hundreds! And tis is for every weekends! 1 mth can come up to thousands. And when Jean qns him, he will say they are sharing and he is oni footing the bill first with his credit card! Bt she accidently happen to check his hp when it is unlocked....there is a gal sms-ing his HB "Dun overwork, I wil heartpain". Jean told me Xave also dun wanna touch her or hv S** with her... Xave actually say something which make me He ask Jean go and slim down first then come and approach him! WTF!!! Wat kinda HB is tis! KNN! CMI! Jean finally cannot tolerate his undoings and went to lawyers to draft a separation letter for her...She has signed the letter bt Xave refuse to sign it... I gather Xave do not wan to pay the alimony / he oni wan to sell the flat when the price is right! As Jean do not hv financial means to hire a PI to sue him of adultery, wat can she do now? And she also do not hv any evidence to prove his adultery! And worst, her dad just had a stroke and mum down with illness. I just feel tat everything is too heavy a burden for her to take + her stressful job. Wat can she do now to hv a clean break with THIS MAN and hv alimony???? Bt she dun hv children, do she deserve any alimony??

U are the oni one without children in yr dept? Bt I tink child leaves, maternity leaves and child MC cannot be avoided when u hv children. U will understand when yr turn comes and I am sure yr koligs will understand when u are in the same situation one day.

Hi classified11, any fotos to share and can u advise the price? TIA!

Wah...sounds beneficial! Wat is the system called and issit expensive?

My headrest is the same as tientien....tat is it does not flush with the wall. I do hv a lot of dreams though bt not my HB.... We had oni 1 side table due to space limitation. Any other way to prevent from dreaming everyday?

Thanks for yr encouragement! I am going to do my hsework now and rushing to the volunteer work liao... Chat again!

Yes I agree very much!

For ours, they will rebuke by saying now where got ppl wear office wear one? All these are a thing of the past. Now YOUNG generation wear tis kinda dressing to work.... !! Another sentence to hint u tat they are younger! Bt IMO, they are shallow and unprofessional!!!!!! Imagine a vistor pops by and c u in this dressing, wat wld they tink? Air...how I wish u in my company....wahahahahahha.... Cos most of my koligs dun wanna create bad feelings and talk back. Like Fifi, we choose to ignore and gossip behind their backs.... Bt sometimes I BTH, I will say them " Ya lor, u will never grow old lor, always the same age, I envy sia".... They will then SHUT UP!

Air...actually most hotels can close one eye on the hard liquor thing....Just tel them in advance.

Dun tink so...tis is too extreme le ba? And it is only a few knocks! Next time do longer and louder...let her come up and complain for all she want since she so sensitive and free!

Phoenix, kitchen is VERY important in FS's view... Try to work out a way... Its betta to believe than never!

Sorri, dun tink ethical for me to do tat....I can oni say it is a German MNC in Tuas area....

Thanks...wil check it out!

Thanks Mr Chong...

Cos most companies I go are Ang Mohs companies and feel tat their perception towards family is different from us...They treat marriage like a game and can divorce as and when they like... The agent told me the other time tat I got rejected cos of "got intention to start family"...and I was so pissed off1 Anyway, good to noe before I get in!

U noe, I noe....
