Brought Darrielle to UOB to opened a joint account yesterday, and banked in all the remaining money I saved for us the moment I know of my pregnancy, and add in all her Angbao money... I got a Humphrey Gold Coin from UOB as a gift.. hehee
Approached DBS at first.. But their funny rule that only children aged 5 and above can have their individual account, and even if to have to jointed account between me and Darrielle, they would require me to pass my 21st birthday.. And even so, its a trust account, and there would be no ATM card issued, and if I need to do any withdrawal, I would need to bring my IC to DBS bank counter to withdraw. DUMB! Super troublesome lo.. Can't imagine myself queuing at the counter when I need the money for emergencies.. grr..
Anyway, I amazed with how much money I managed to save when I used to spend all I have before I got pregnant.. And yes, I would continue saving now, the money would be for emergencies if Darrielle is sick or what, or use it for her education when she needs to go to school..
And oh~ My computer monitor had broke down... Damn sian.. Had ordered a new one from my ex-colleague's hubby.. Dunnoe when will I receive it.. Using my brother's laptop now.. Argh.. Life without internet is so boring.. So i called Starhub and added the Star Chinese Movies channel to my SCV subscription this morning... Watching 我的失意男友 now... 3rd time I watched it.. Touching show..

Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter.
In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition;
but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express.

"When we trust the makers of baby formula more than we do our own ability to nourish our babies, we lose a chance to claim an aspect of our power as women. Thinking that baby formula is as good as breast milk is believing that thirty years of technology is superior to three million years of nature's evolution. Countless women have regained trust in their bodies through nursing their children, even if they weren't sure at first that they could do it. It is an act of female power, and I think of it as feminism in its purest form."

If a multinational company developed a product that was a nutritionally balanced and delicious food, a wonder drug that both prevented and treated disease, cost almost nothing to produce and could be delivered in quantities controlled by the consumers' needs, the very announcement of their find would send their shares rocketing to the top of the stock market. The scientists who developed the product would win prizes and the wealth and influence of everyone involved would increase dramatically. Women have been producing such a miraculous substance, breastmilk, since the beginning of human existence. ----- Gabrielle Palmer
