Went to NUH Kent Ridge Wing Fetal Care Centre

Today went to do the specialized scan again, everything is normal except for the heart, baby is suffering from  Atrioventricular Septal Defect aka AVSD , and this time a professor reviewed the results, he say the Amniocentesis Test is too risky for my wife as she is on Warfarin and the needle will need to pass through the placenta which means there is a risk of bleeding, so he offered an alternative which is to do DNA testing. Of course I choose the DNA testing because it's safer for my wife. I think we better make sure, if have then we'll do the practical (and sensible) thing which is to terminate, it's good for everyone, if don't have then we'll keep pushing on. I hope don't have, my family don't have, her family also don't have, I think very likely our baby won't have, but hard to say, better make sure. See I'm thinking so much, lucky we went for the test, after that no need to think so much. Looking at cost, the amnio test cost $600+, the

Went for Gynae Appointment Just Now

We went very early this morning for the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test, today my wife never vomit so we managed to finish it, have to take blood once, drink a bottle of sweet water, wait for 2 hours and then take blood again. We also went for a scan, the scan damn expensive, $175, anyway that's not a big issue compared to a hole in the baby's heart. Yep, the scan detected a hole in the central area of the heart, everything else seems normal, so we are scheduled to go back in a week's time to do the amnio fluid test to confirm if the baby has down syndrome. The gynae say of all heart defects, a hole in the heart is the least to worry about, that gave us some relief, we were worried sick, until no words can come out, we were stunned when we heard about the hole. Anyway after we reached home, I did some research, seems like a hole in the heart might not be a big problem, some adults actually live with it, only thing is they get tired more easily, the fortunate ones their hole

So Busy at Work!

Been so busy that I have no time to surf net at work, finish one task another begin, got to fix bug, got follow-up with user, got to run to user site, it's not even part of our contract to provide onsite support but no choice, can't just tell them to solve it themselves, but there are people who told the users to solve it themselves! I think work until fed up already, then the users complain to me lol. IT line really not easy, I think it can get very stressful when everybody is chasing you, I can understand that because I have been through worse, imagine your phone ring non-stop, have to talk on the phone and solve problem, then have to rush to user site, I must say I am impressed with myself for surviving such situations, I think most people would lose their temper or simply switch off. Then there are cases where users look for me to solve problems that is not in my purview, for example I'm doing software but they look for me to solve their printer problems, I can'

Saw the Past Me Today

Just now I went to a school to help install a plugin for our application software, I met this lad who is working as the school IT support, the users said he looked like me, like my younger brother lol, well he does look like me when I was 20+, skinny, shy, curious, nerdy lol. I also used to work at the school, the job role is TA i.e. Technical Assistant, damn siong job, pay is low consider the kind of work we have to do, that time I was paid $1350, run around the school like a madman everyday. Anyway this lad is 20 years old, holds a diploma and he is from Malaysia, so young can travel here to work, very impressive, he was asking me a lot of stuff, how to handle some technical issues, some career questions. He was asking me if he should focus on getting a Masters degree first, of course I told him having experience is more important, paper is one thing to open the way but if you don't have experience, how long can you last? Furthermore by the time he get Masters, he will probably

Got The U-Save Rebate Again

This time got $195 so this month no need to pay, next month also no need to pay, maybe the 3rd month also no need to pay. I noticed the utilities bill very different each time, sometime $50+, sometimes $90+, sometimes $80+, how come can go up so high then come down so low, I wonder if they charge correctly or not.

Crazy Weather Again!

This morning was really sunny, the hot sun was making me perspire so much, then come lunchtime it suddenly started drizzling even with the sun shining so brightly. Then later in the afternoon, the wind was blowing so strongly, and it started raining dogs and cats and the rain dragged on until about 7pm+. I hope tomorrow will be cloudy, please don't rain when I'm at work, rain at night is okay.

This Yong Tau Foo Stall Really

Just now went to eat at Commonwealth Crescent Food Centre, the Yong Tau Foo stall so busy, I picked my goodies and stand there with my bowl for 5 minutes and the helper totally ignored me, another girl picked her food and handed in her bowl and the helper took it, I'm so big size and she cannot see me, see me no happy or what. In the end I fed up I put back the food and go buy the wanton noodle instead. This will be the last time I will ever buy there, the first time I went also same, stand there and she ignored me, maybe she don't like my face lol. Actually the Yong Tau Foo also nothing special, wonder why so long queue.

New Year New Hope!

Happy New Year! Looking forward to my baby this year, due date is 15 Jun, I hope everything goes smoothly. I also hope that this year can get a good increment and bonus, and also can excel at work, maybe get a promotion.
