And then there were 3...


OK, I must admit I have succumbed to popular demand...I am updating my blog!

Yes, it has been some time since I wrote my last entry. Was it writer's block or something else? I dunno. It could have been attributed to pregnancy...of my wife, silly!

Anyways, on the fateful day of Sept 11th, I became a dad! There is now absolutely no excuse for me to forget my dear son's birthday.

I am sure you all want the lowdown on the birth of this beautiful creature, so here are the statistics of my son's birth:


No. of hrs wife in labour: 10 hours
Administration of Epidural (pain relief): At first, no. Wife very brave. Then we had to give it to her
Time from start of pushing to delivery: 29mins
No. of days spent in hospital post delivery: 2 nights (check out time 12pm...like hotel like that)
Number of times poo-ed in 1st day: Lost count
Weight after Hospital checkout: 2.4kg (normal for baby to lose weight after delivery)
Weight after 3 days from hospital checkout: 2.7kg (100g weight gain per day!)
Cost of hospital stay: S$2,000+
Cost of seeing your baby burp at you: Priceless

Looking at the picture above, I must assure you I am not trying to kill my kid through strangulation. Rather, I am trying to burp him. But one thing though, check out his really big bright eyes and his really Lao Been (old looking face). Picture above was taken when he was 3 days old!

I am so blessed.
