Milking it

So, a couple of weeks back, I went for breastfeeding class. It was a roaring success. Haha… seriously, I WAS at breastfeeding class, but obviously not as an instructor. The class was part of the antenatal program that KKH organises for clueless parents-to-be and a nominal fee. The thing about these classes at KKH is that » Read More

A Little Knowledge is a Good Thing

I had a funny conversation with the wife the other day. Wife: Look. Blood. Me: Is that mucus? Along with the blood? Wife: Yup. Me: It’s the ’show’! Should I bring you to the hospital? Wife: Bring me to hospital? For what? Me: Oh, yes… there’s no need to bring you to the hospital just because we see the ’show’. Contractions » Read More

Wake Up. Have Sex. Go to Polling Station.

Okay, this post actually has nothing to do with the title. It’s just a convenient way to remind the wife what’s going to happen tomorrow morning when we wake up. After all, with her pregnancy-addled mind, we wouldn’t want to do things the wrong way round, right? Wake up. Go to Polling Station. Have Sex = » Read More

Do As I Say, Do As I Do

People who know me tend to say the same few things about me. I speak my mind. I am one of those people who tend to give too much information. I am humorous. That humor tends to be either very punny, or from the gutter. In fact, when I was moving from our flat in Bishan » Read More

Of Sinful Indulgences A Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far, Far Away

Out of the thousands of things that a woman goes through during pregnancy, men can only help out in less than ten, by my reckoning. So, I think it is my husbandly duty to take full control of those things if possible. Just to lighten the poor wife’s load. So it is with gleeful abandon that » Read More

I Take It Back

In my last post, I praised KKH for trying to make its queue system and efficient and painless as possible. Something that was deeply appreciated by this father-to-be. I take it back. A few days after that, we found ourselves back in KKH again. Our appointment was at 9.55am, and since it was just a routine scan » Read More

Wait

Imagine you’re the boss of a company. You have employees. You pay your employees for the time that they spend at work, so that the company is profitable. Then the internet age is upon us, and while it makes sense to give internet and email access to your employees, you are pretty darned sure that not » Read More

Trial of the Festivities

Getting a positive test result at the end of the year is one of the psychologically traumatic experiences I have ever been through. After the mental high-fives and back-slapping, I was brought back to reality by a well-meaning friend who explained the difference between ‘pregnant’ and ‘positive test result’. Okay… so now I gotta wait till 6 » Read More

Bag. Baby, in. Cat, out.

After our failure to get Yi Lin pregnant for the first try in IVF, we were a little “quieter” in going for our second try. The excitement had lost a little of its lustre, I guess. And we also kinda figured out that if anyone was really, really, REALLY interested in our journey towards parenthood, » Read More

Upping the Karma

“Do you ever dream of your own funeral?” If you are a Gleek that eagerly catches every episode the moment it is available, then you would probably recognise this line. Rachel was giving Kurt advice on which solo to perform for his audition in his new glee club. Rachel then goes on to say that she does, » Read More
