Bought this in a John Little Expo sometime back at a price of $49.90. Was quite glad cos the price I double checked at Kiddy Palace is $69.90.

Googled and read some articles online which I thought to note down for references.

This is the 5th day of our wedding phototaking trip. Another day of enjoyment and seeing the sights of Taipei, Taiwan. 

First stop is the "Window on China" Theme Park - famous for its miniature structures.




The price list of the transportation from the various places to the theme park. Not cheap ley!




Nice landscape features as we enter

Image via WikipediaThis is the first time we are paying for bills in the hospital for a delivery of a baby.

We have always heard people giving advice like $4k is ex, $2k is cheap, depending on the type of birth, if possible avoid Cesarean etc. But we had really no idea what the breakdown of the total cost is all about and whether they are medisave deductible.

I took a little pain to tabulate

A little late but.... our son was born on the 23rd August 2011 in Thomson Medical Centre.

He was delivered normally under epidural.

The whole birth process took 28 hours, inclusive of 2 hours of pushing (a little on the high side).

Indeed, it was an exceptional process and an unforgettable one.




Here's a video of Immanuel at 1 day old, hiccuping.

We woke up super duper early on the 3rd day. Think it was about 6am. This was because we needed head to the studio and do make up for Addy. It was a no-camera day as they forbid it (brrr...)
