3 Feb 2010Unfortunately, I suspect that’s exactly what you’ll be calling me because I will simply become one.

2 Feb 2010Just like our 1st antenatal check-up months ago, today we waited a good 2 hours for Dr Tan because he had 2 deliveries back to back earlier at noon. The poor man didn’t get to have his lunch — until it was 4pm — after he had cleared all his morning appointments. Then immediately he [...]

I always enjoy our appointments with him, even though we need to wait an hour or sometimes more just to see him each time Dr Tan always has a smiley face on. But yesterday he was in a [...]
We had our 3rd and final Parentcraft session last Saturday. It started right on the dot at 2pm even though only half of the couples were present. By 2.30pm — 15 minutes before the 1st part was finished — all the late couples finally filled the room *Malaysia Boleh!* #1 — Common Problems in Infants [...]
Yesterday’s session took place at the Physiotherapy Department, on the 4th floor of Gleneagles Main Block. This time the session was much more inducive because it involved theory and practical hands on. The different environment could have possibly played a big part too. The place was spaciously wide and we were divided into 2 groups [...]
