Starting to countdown..

Wifey and Hubby are just back from Dr Adrian's clinic. Hubby was asking Wifey this was visit no. #? Wifey has also lost count how many times the lil one has done the ultrasound, maybe only by counting the number of printouts they have?

Baby Caitlyne is now at about 31weeks, pretty anxious cos at 37weeks onwards she'll be full term and maybe born around 39 weeks? This only leaves 8 weeks from now for Wifey and Hubby to seeing her! Dr. Adrian also asked about which hospital will Wifey be delivering at, and the choice will be at Thomson Medical Centre. Wifey opted for 4-bedded ward due to extremely tight budget.

For 4-bedded, natural birth without taking epidual (which costs about $300 for 1 dosage) will cost around $1-2k cash after Medisave deductions of $2k+. This will include Dr Adrian fees of $850 for natural delivery. For Caesarean birth, the gynae fee will be abouht $1350-$1500 so the cash after Medisave will be abouht $2-3k. If staying in 1-bedded room, natural birth will require $2-3k cash and Caesarean $3-6k. As much as Wifey and Hubby prefer 1-bedded ward, due to many reasons such as Hubby being able to stay over in room; baby can be brought to mummy and daddy any time; personal bathroom; privacy and so on, the difference in cost is the reason to choose 4-bedded. The savings of $2-3k cash can in return buy alot of things for baby in future. Unless all the good friends and god-ma wanna contribute BIG angpow then Wifey may consider taking 1-bedded LOL

This entry is almost forgotten, hence posting it right now. Jiak Tok is one of the common practice for most Chinese, especially to deity or during hungry ghost month. What is the main purpose for it? Basically, raise fund. Currently, the temple The Ongies often go, is still new and undergoing some renovations, that's where the devotees will come and chip in. Back then, Cait was just few months old when she first attend to such occasion. Now, Clar turn. During the period of bidding and consuming of food, both princesses are quite cooperative and did not fuss a lot until later on. Partly due to heat and noise. But it is a good experience for them. Bidding in progress Food and drink on the table She love clapping Happy wifey and Cait Food

Praying to Tai Sui

It's the period of praying to Tai Sui now during Chinese New Year. Almost all Chinese will head up to temple to get blessing from Tai Sui . For those zodiac sign that crash with the year of Tai Sui must pray for smooth year. Every year, there will be 4 zodiac signs that crash with Year of Tai Sui . Chong is worse than Fan.  It is better to pray to Tai Sui every year; at least you get bless. When praying to Tai Sui , you must not forget to return thanks back before end of year; which is before Christmas Day,  after Dong Zhi . Cait and Clar will get bless as well, same goes to rest of the family. The usual place they often went is at Paya Lebar, Gu Cai Ba Temple (Sheng Hong Gong). You can go and pray after registering yourself; pray to the main altar, then to the 60 Tai Sui before queuing up for the toaist priest to chant. It will be a long queue if you go early or noon. The best time will be early evening around 5pm. There's almost no queuing up at all. Things wi...
