Second Trimester Fetal Anomaly (FA) Scan

Yesterday was my 19 weeks 2 days for my #2.

I did the screening in Raffles Hospital. The screening is mainly checking on Major fetal structural anomalies, soft tissue markers of chromosomal abnormalities, low-laying placenta, uterine artery waveforms, cervical length and etc.

From the structural scan, the result on skull, brain, face, lips, heart, lungs, abdominal, stomach, kidneys, bladder, genitalia, spine and limbs are normal.

Soft tissue markers, ie. Checking on the development of baby’s nasal bone is ok too.

After the checking we finally know we are having a baby girl ^_^, we already had a boy and now we are going to have girl just nice “好”.

In fact during my OSCAR test back in Jan 09, the gynae Dr. Tony Tan who performed the OSCAR check for me told me that although he is not able to see the lower part of my baby, but he told us there was 80% chance to have a baby girl, but he also add on, not to buy pink clothes just in case…..

Anyway, after gotten the result for the FA scan, is a big relief to me, because when I had my first trimester screening (FTS) also known as OSCAR, I was having a borderline result of 1:326 for Trisomy 21. The OSCAR scan was done in 30th Jan 2009, imagine for the pass seven month from end Jan till yesterday, I been kept worrying for my baby …..

I wish every Aug 09 mummies also have a good result for their FA scan, and most importantly all having a healthy baby ^_^

Renunciation of Malaysian Citizenship in High Commission of Malaysia in Singapore

Upon completion of Mandatory Singapore Citizenship Journey, you are a step nearer to get your Singapore Pink IC. The Mandatory Singapore Citizenship Journey implemented in earlier 2011 to all new citizens. The programme must be completed in two months from the date of receiving their in-principal approval letter. Once the said programme has been completed, you will be issued another letter from ICA requesting you to formally renounce your Malaysian Citizenship at Malaysian High Commission. A deadline will be stated in the letter. For my case, it is about 1.5 month from the date of the letter. Therefore, it is advisable for you to finish your unfinished business before you surrender all citizenship. For those who have any properties in Malaysia, please check with your lawyer on as to what you need to do. For me, I only have Wawasan 2020 bank account with Malaysian Bank, so I went back to my home town to close my account before I renounce my citizenship. Documents to be produced for r
