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 [...]
The numbers above mean 2 things: 1) The hour of the day that the husband and I became boyfriend and girlfriend, 2) The month and date that he proposed and I said Ok! So it is only natural that these 2 numbers have a special place in our lives, besides 19:01 ♥ It hasn’t worried [...]

13 Nov 2009This morning we went for our 3rd antenatal check-up with Dr Tan Lay Seng at Gleneagles. I always enjoy our sessions with him.

This is the reason why I’m typing all these down today so I can remember tomorrow — and also to share with whomever that stumbles on my blog for the same experience. This week the precious life growing within [...]
People say 3rd time’s the charm. And I am thankful for that Yesterday morning till afternoon, we waited for almost a good 2 hours to see Dr Tan Lay Seng. When we reached at 11am for our appointment, Dr Tan had already delivered 1 baby in the morning and caused all earlier appointments to be [...]
