Week 11

My baby is now 11 weeks old and almost fully formed. Another one more week then the first trimester is over. The arm and leg is now visible. At this age, the head is bigger than the body. Heart beat rate is about 150bpm. 


This is the 3rd follow up with the gynae. Recommended supplement to be taken during this stage is calcium, iron and fish oil which is needed to support the baby early development. Stretch mark lotions also available if you are concern about it.


This is how the baby look like from the UT scan image. Whether it's a boy or girl, we only be able to know during the 4-5 months of pregnancy :)

Orang Utan

I went to Sepilok, Sandakan Sabah 4 months ago. It was my first time visiting the Orang Utan rehabilitation center. My wife always wanting me to pay a visit to this wonderful place while she was still working there, but due to distance and time constraint, I never had a chance to do so.... As an ex-resident veterinarian there, she knew the place and the people very well, thus made it easier for us to go around.

And, I have a chance to do hold a baby Orang Utan, an experience that many people are longing to have. This small creature is cute and friendly..... I learned that they are one of many endangered species, thus need to be protected and to be given a rights to live freely in the wilderness :).

A house

I think a lot lately. Planning on how to make 'life transition' as smooth as possible. I am looking for a window on when to move out to JB. Lotsa things to be considered. Sometimes I just feel like delaying things. But I know deep in my heart, I will be in trouble if I don't prepare.

Whether I should buy first or rent is another question to deal with. When I look at the newly develop property with good location, most of it will only complete within 2013-2015 period... it is 2-4 years from now.. I am I still be working in Singapore afterwards? Well, my plan as for now is not more than 5 years. But who knows what happen in future right?

What about renting? Well, there are lots of condos and landed house out there ready for rent, but what is the purpose of renting a house if you can buy? Or should I rent first for few months or a year to have a feel about everything then only deciding whether to buy or not? At this time, I think this is the most 'nice' decision to take.

I suddenly feel like eating Penang Laksa. I think it's already more than 5 years since the last time I tasted it. I must be influenced by my wife who keep on saying that she wants it too. I don't wana think of buying a flight ticket to Penang just to eat laksa :). So, I surfed on the net and managed to find some shops in SG which many have claimed to have laksa as genuine as Penang laksa. Should go there next week and hope it really taste as good as penang laksa - and of course without the prawn pastes!
