Went to Yum Cha Chinatown

Brought MIL, wife's cousin, baby and wife to Yum Cha, food there is great as I remember it, this was my second time there, first time was with company. Still not used to the system, usually we sit down, get a menu and order food, it is different there, you sit down, they ask you what tea you want, they have so many types of tea and I heard Pu Er, Long Jing and Xiang Pian out of the many types of tea the waitress said in quick succession, so I ordered a pot of Xiang Pian ($3.60, 2 quantity, think it's 2 teabags or something). So instead of getting a menu, they will give you an order sheet, it's to keep track of what we have ordered and then they have push carts going around, for steamed food, for fried food, for Pau, for Cheong Fan, porridge and etc. Once you selected your items from the carts, the person in charge of the cart will note down in your order sheet whatever you ordered. All are great but what really captured my attention was the You Tiao with Mango and Pra

Baby Bonus $3000 Credited to My Account

I just checked my bank account online and noticed an extra $3000 in my bank account lol, I thought how come haven't payday have more money, go checked the details actually from MSF meaning it is part of the $6000 baby bonus, that means still have $3000 more, $1500 in the next 6 months and the final $1500 in another 6 months. Now I'm waiting for the letter to open the CDA account, will use the $3000 to top-up to baby's account, this is saving for her future. I think when she grow up she can still use the same bank account for her own savings and uses.

Hope Can Get Promotion and Fat Bonus

This year company doing well, I think can get at least 3 months bonus, boss also recommended promotion for me, hopefully can get it, wonder how much increment I can get this year, 5% also not bad but if promotion I think more than that, how much I don't know. Hope baby bring me luck!

Wife Running Fever Since Saturday

By the time we realized it, clinics have already closed on Saturday, they only open in the morning on Saturdays, so wife ate paracetamol, it helped to reduce the fever but it won't go away. It got worse on Sunday, her underarm temperature reached 40.7 degrees, but clinics were closed on Sunday, wanted to bring her to A&E but she refused for fear of getting hospitalized again, MIL blamed it on the longan and red date drink that I bought for her but I don't think that is the cause, I think it's more to do with infection, that's why she have a fever, it's how the body deal with infection. So today I checked her temperature and it was 39.8, brought her to Queenstown polyclinic, they gave her a priority queue number so didn't have to wait very long. The doctor examined her and doesn't think there is infection, told us to come back 2 days later, I asked whether he can give any antibiotics, in the end he ordered a blood test, he said to wait 1 hour and I sai

Utilities Bill $86.42

This is for period of 05 May to 03 Jun. My MIL and wife's cousin came on 01 May, baby came home on 26 May, wife was hospitalized from 05 May to 26 May though, but somehow the bill isn't as high as I think it would be lol, I was expecting $200-$300, no idea how come it's so low, the last bill was $77.77, by the way I checked there is no rebate, it's the full billing. Just on Friday I spoken to one of my co-workers, his bill is usually $200+, sometimes $300+, he have 6 children so total 8 people in his household, I guess more children will use more water and electricity, maybe children don't yet understand how precious these resources are.

Baby Discharged and Looking Good!

Today I called her ward and the doctor said her jaundice dropped to 155 and baby is doing fine, she also said baby can discharge so I quickly called my wife to pick her up. Two days of not seeing baby and I miss her already haha, today when I saw her I am very happy, her cute little face make me smile ;)

Went to NUH Gynae

Today took half-day leave to accompany wife to gynae to check her c-section wound, everything is fine, wound is healing fine and they removed the bandage, wife can now shower, actually she can shower even with the bandage but need to waterproof, anyway too late, she haven't shower since 20 May lol, but of course she have been cleaning herself with warm wet towel. Wife say still have slight pain sometimes but wound have closed, but still got to take it easy, cannot let her carry heavy stuff, lucky MIL is here, it is indeed essential to have someone to help out after pregnancy. Wife also mentioned period seems to have returned. Anyway we also dropped by baby's ward, she is doing great, jaundice have dropped to 190 from 281, they are going to continue the photo-therapy until 10.30pm, tomorrow should be able to discharge. And yesterday while going through the wife and baby hospital interim bills, I noticed that baby was charged citizen rate from delivery day to discharge, I a

Baby Hospitalized!

Actually it's not that serious, today wife brought her to polyclinic and the jaundice reading came at 281, so the doctor gave another referral letter and told wife to bring baby to A&E. So I left work slightly earlier and brought wife and baby to NUH Children's Emergency, I think total waited about 2.5 hours and they finally sent baby to ward 48 sunshine nursery. They will do the photo-therapy for baby, not sure how long they will keep her, I'm guessing maybe 2-3 days. At least tonight wife can get a good sleep, breastfeeding not easy, can see she is very tired.
