Baby Discharged!

So happy that everything went so well, in total stay about 6 days instead of 10 days. Now baby can walk, can baba gaga, she recovering so fast. But she has a long cut on her chest, her neck also bruises due to the pokes from needles, I think it will all heal in time, have to put the cream for her, I think the cocoa butter cream is very good, ask wife to put for her later.

Baby Maybe can Discharge Tomorrow!

Today I didn't go visit her as I work late, but wife stay with her, so wife said just now they did x-ray for her and everything seems to be great, the water in her lungs seems to be gone or became lesser, didn't hear her clearly, anyway they are going to do one more round of x-ray tomorrow, if everything is ok, they can discharge her. She really is recovering very fast, remember last Friday she did her operation, then tomorrow maybe can discharge, so total only about 4 days stay, much lesser than the estimated 10 days. By the way they took the tube out of her nose, now she looks much better, can't imagine a tube into my nose lol.

Baby Moved to Normal Ward

Image
Doctor said there is some water in her lungs, think they prescribed some medication for her, I guess otherwise they won't be moving her to normal ward, her wheezing is gone but she kept making strange noises, I think it's because of the tube into her nose. Other than that, she can sit up now, can also carry her, but she looked tired, maybe a few days time she can start to walk.

Baby Looks Good Today

Image
They took out most of the tubes, now left with one into her nose and one on her left hand. Nurse say maybe tomorrow can transfer to normal ward. She also started feeding orally, I think that is a huge improvement, hopefully this week can discharge. One huge stone off my chest.

Baby's Operation went Very Well

Image
That's according to her paediatric cardiologist, she was here at the operating theatre, very professional of her to drop by. Baby went into the operating theatre at around 9am, after that at about 2pm I received a call from a staff telling me that they would transfer her to the paediatric ICU in 1 hour time, so around 3pm I dropped by the ward, saw baby's name outside the room, felt a great relief. After that I brought everyone to the ward, this time we managed to catch a glimpse of baby, she was sleeping, looks normal except the big white patch on her chest, anyway she was on general anaesthesia so I think she will sleep until tomorrow, maybe wake up a bit but will go back sleeping, so I brought everyone home, no point waiting there, just let her rest.

Baby Admitted to Hospital

Image
Tomorrow morning she will have her operation to close the hole in her heart, just now she kept crying, I think she is scared of the strange new environment, she cried even harder when they tried to put the blood plug for her, unfortunately they didn't manage to do so as her blood vessels were too small, they will try again later. Poor little baby... but what needs to be done has to be done. I booked C class ward for her, they say it's an 8-bedded ward, but end up the ward only have 6 beds so it's not as noisy as we expected, actually baby is the noisiest one in the whole ward as she kept crying lol. And quite surprisingly the ward has free WIFI, so good thing we brought along her iPad so she can watch cartoon, but kind of troublesome as there seems to be a timeout, so have to sign in again and again quite often, but still better than nothing. By the way lucky we brought along her pram, ended up being useful as we can push her around instead of a wheelchai

Another Sucky Interview

Went for a technical test on Java, damn difficult, it's not those basic Java questions, they gave me a couple of program codes and asked what is the outcome, can barely answer, without Eclipse so difficult, so used to having the IDE do everything. Then a lot of trick questions on syntax and whether code will run if not what outcome, finally some real world situations, asked me what I will do if system encounter slowness, or what I will do if I am tasked with migrating a few systems into one system, seriously migration is not a one man job, it takes a whole team to plan for it, how the hell would I know on such short notice lol. And then some J2EE questions, they actually tested me on scripplets, nowadays I thought industry norm is JSTL, why bother with scripplets unless absolutely no choice. I really wonder how can anyone pass that kind of test lol, so my strategy was simple, can answer, then answer, cannot answer skip to the next, don't get stuck on one question forever,

Changed too Much Thai Baht

Last week went to Bangkok to stay for 3 days and 2 nights, changed 19,050 Baht, left with 5,000+, and we already bought whatever we needed. I changed so much also because I thought I would need to pay for MIL and family but they hardly bought anything. I even paid 1,000 to her uncle for petrol because he drove us to the airport.

Interview Today Sucks

Just came back from interview, kind of sucks, morning kena runny nose, sneeze until so shag so really no energy or mood to go for interview but I still go anyway since already told them I will be present. The building damn far from home, take bus already 1 hour, plus walking I think total need 1.5-2 hours, if ask me to work there can die. So for the interview, got 3 people, one is a director, another is a HR woman, last one is a technical guy. Ask about my current role, ask what I expect from their company and all that typical questions, I think I did quite badly, so many years never go for interview, also never expect them to actually call me up for interview. Anyway my stand is since I have a job so it's more like testing the market, can get better package, great, cannot get, then back to work. Furthermore I think they want me to do .net project, I told them it's not my expertise, I more to Java, want me to do .net is more of a learning phase for me, already told the gu

How to Marry a Thai in Singapore

Image
You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation fo
