Yes things will slowdown significantly from now till handover. Tentatively we are going to have handover by mid July. We will have to stay in our current place for another month......Housemate can move out by mid June and we will have to pay for the entire apartment sigh.........there goes the money...........Not much as happen .........Doors are all fitted and the entire house has been painted..

Doors already installed

Walls painted

Neighbouring houses almost done

Snailing

There were not much update to write about for the last 2 weeks, practically no work was done for that period of time. As such we did not bothered going over to the house at all. SS told me that paint just started and the tilers would be in this week once paint has finished. We are worried that the house might not be ready in time for bub to move into. Baby R is about +- 6 weeks away. SS can't even give me an date for handover, MICM decided to increase my rent by another $20 a week to $460pw effective July and my housemate decides to move out by July. We are under the pressure cooker now..............somehow we just wish that we bought the house earlier, baby born a month later......etc.......aiyah nevermind la, take one thing at a time.

Being a kiasu at times, we decided to pack up some of the unnecessary things starting with the room. After 5 hours, we had packed everything into about 6 boxes... :P And there's still the living room, toilet and kitchen to pack over this coming weeks.

The baby is doing fine, growing every single day. Kicks are more stronger and it reacts to sounds as well......very active baby according to mum. We decided not to take any chances with the house and bought one of the last basic things for the baby....a cot from Ikea. Angeline was suppose to get it but we thought that it would be best that we get it just in case baby R decides to pop out. Also tried to get my head around on how to install the baby seat into the car instead of paying someone $30 to install it......yes its a legal requirement to fit the car with a car seat here.

A sad day indeed for you MALAYSIA.......

Not just a year older but a year better

Happy Birthday darling.......no its not to the second wife(the car). Wife's celebrating her birthday today. Age can't be revealed publicly for fear of a severe beating :P. Also happy belated to my mother in law and to Allen. (Kelvin)

Bub's hub

A little bit of hari ini dalam sejarah...Bub's hospital.......

The Royal Women’s Hospital, Australia’s first public women’s hospital, was established in Melbourne in August 1856 and is among the oldest and most distinguished of its kind in the world today.

Founded as a place where underprivileged women could give birth and receive proper medical and nursing attention, the original title of the hospital was the 'Melbourne Lying-In Hospital and Infirmary for Diseases of Women and Children'

Our hospital is now fondly known as the Women's.

The 'Melbourne Lying-In Hospital and Infirmary for Diseases of Women and Children' opened its doors to the poorest and most needy women in 1856, less than two decades after the official foundation of Melbourne (1837).

The Lying-in Hospital was the second hospital established in the bustling town (the first was the Melbourne Hospital). It was first located in a leased terrace house in Albert St, Eastern Hill (East Melbourne), close to where the Victorian Parliament now stands.

The hospital’s establishment was achieved by a committee of women, led by Mrs Frances Perry, the wife of the then Anglican bishop of Melbourne, and two doctors, Dr Richard Tracy and Dr John Maund

Two years later, the hospital moved to its current site in Carlton with financial support from private benefactors and a colonial government cashed up from goldfields taxes.

In 1884, its title was simplified to the Women’s Hospital and the ‘Royal’ title was conferred on the hospital by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 6 September 1954.

The Women's was initially a ‘charity’ hospital, serving the needs of women unable to afford private medical care. Melbourne was marvellous for some but the allure of gold had left many women without support or the means to care for themselves or their children.

Most sought assistance when giving birth or recovering from its after-effects, or when plagued by troublesome or life-threatening gynaecological conditions later in life.

Demand for the hospital's services was strong and sustained and in its first decade nearly 3,000 women were admitted and many more treated as outpatients.

By the second half of the twentieth century, more women gave birth in the Women's maternity section than in any other hospital in the Commonwealth. By the end of the twentieth century, the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit was among the largest and most sophisticated of any in the nation.

From the outset, the Women's aimed to lead in setting standards for medical and nursing care, becoming the first Australian hospital to train nurses in the late 1850s and to teach obstetrics and gynaecology to medical students (1865).

The hospital maintained close relations with the University of Melbourne medical school (established 1862) and was the first hospital in Melbourne to house a clinical professor (Robert Marshall Allen, Professor of Obstetrics,1929-46). The Women's was also the first place in Australia where a specialist Diploma in Obstetrics and Gynaecology could be undertaken (from 1932). Throughout its 150 year history, the Women's has provided specialist care for women and newborn babies; sometimes based on its own ground-breaking research. Today, the hospital is renowned for its expertise in areas such as antenatal care, maternal and neonatal infection control, gynaecological disease diagnosis and treatment, family planning, newborn intensive care and infertility management. In all these fields, the Women's seeks to enhance the well-being of individuals and families while, at the same time, responding to changing community needs and priorities. On 6 October 2003, the Victorian Premier and the Minister for Health announced that a new Women’s hospital would be built in Parkville. Construction for the new $250 million Royal Women’s Hospital began in 2005, heralding a new era in healthcare for Victorian women.

Opened on 22nd June 2008, the new Royal Women's Hospital provides women and newborn babies with the very best in world-class healthcare. Construction progress at our new hospital

The new $250 million hospital was delivered under the Victorian Government's Partnerships Victoria model. Our new hospital features international best practice in contemporary hospital design including:

a welcoming, reassuring atmosphere family-friendly patient and visitor facilities respect for privacy, religious and cultural needs world-class technology and research facilities a supportive work environment that enhances the care provided by staff

The new Women's is located at the corner of Grattan St and Flemington Rd, Parkville, near the Royal Melbourne Hospital.
