8.00pm
My wife, Eve started to experience contractions straight after contractions.

10.30pm
We went back from our in-laws place and go back to our house. I took a shower and Eve carried on to have contractions, with 5 minutes interval.

Initially we thought it may be fake contractions, but this time is different. She feels that she has to go to hospital.

11.10pm
We packed our bags and we left for SGH


11.20pm
We left house

11.30pm
We reached SGH Blk5 Labour ward.


11.40pm
We did registration and was warded to the labour ward.

12.30am
I went in to accompany her after the checks by the nurse.
Contractions are also very prevalent, with intervals of 4-5minutes. And it gets stronger and stronger.

1.00am
Nurse checked and she is 4cm dilated. So happy.


2.00am
Nurse checked that she is 7cm dilated. She also added that by the rate of contraction, our baby will be out in 2 hours time... I was so excited.


2.30am
We checked and she is around 9cm dilated already. This is so amazing because I have managed to see partial of the head... Ha... It is about the size of 10c coin and the hair is visible...


3.00am
She is fully dilated and they began to contact the doctor.


3.15am
She is pushing and the cervix has expanded as such I can see about 50c coin of the baby's head.


3.30am
Doctor reached and checked everything and my wife is working very hard to get the baby out.


3.45am
Doctor and nurses and I kept on encouraging her to breathe and push harder and at every contraction to push at 4 times...

4.00am
Little Mervyn is born.


4.05am
He is cleaned and did breast feeding straight away, and he can do it without people teaching him.
This is amazing!

Kate's 2! A simple birthday celebration!

Kate turns 2 years old on 11th July 2013! And coincidentally, it's 2 day old for our new born too! We had to celebrate it at Mount Alvenia and it's certainly a fun celebration for Kate, and it's a simple affair too! We didn't manage to cook dinner and we ordered extra meals from the hospital. It's only $8 per set and they provide soup, vegetables and meat, fruits and juice! Really worth it. They only can provide a maximum of 3 meals! Josh ate all his rice and Kate loves the fish! Amazing. Of course, we didn't tell them that we are having birthday cake later. Or else, they will not be eating much of their dinner. Family feast! Love the pork vinegar dish! Oops! Pouring some of our home cooked soup that I prepared for lunch. Luckily we brought because we finished all the soups! Mother and son. Kate is such a loving sister. She pats her new born sister, as she was placed on the trolley which is used for the jaundice UV Machine. ...

Today, it's a fun day, well sort of. Got up and rushed straight to French Embassy for my first french lesson (beginner course). My teacher is Franck. He's a humorous teacher and overall, I find that french is an exquiste language, very special and interesting. I've learnt basic greetings for today. And time really passed very fast after learning. The classmates are of different background and age, and we are all having the same base of french (aka, having no knowledge at all) haa.. Yiwen and I actually wanna go to Orchard. However, we took the wrong side. We took 171 to Bukit Timah area instead! Then we U-turned. I went to Pointers to cut my hair. And it happened that the manager cut my hair. So lucky eh? Not many people would have the chance to actually cut by him, have to make appointment and pay $20. But because he is shorthanded, he came and help out... :@) Then, I rushed to meet Shaun to go to Camp to clear all our stuff. Lucky got him to help me drive fr...
