GuanAd's Haven

As there were no single wards available, Gleaneagles put us up in a bigger deluxe room. Much to our content for such a bargain, we were struck by the ward number 633. That verse which almost anyone can remember came to our minds immediately.

"But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you" Matt 6:33

It was of no doubt that the dramatic experience of an emergency cesarean and Jotham's active heartbeat of 140+ dropping to a distress state of 100 was probably why God put us in ward 633.

The other interesting encounter with numbers was to do with the registration of Jotham's birth cert. Initially we wanted to have it done on the day of discharge 21st. However the counter was closed on public holidays. The next opportunity was on the 25th when both mother and son had to return for a follow-up check. It was only along the highway when we realised that we had forgotten to bring along our marriage certificate. The counter would not accept a fax copy of it on a later date. So Guan decided to make the trip down for the registration in the afternoon because both our office required Jotham's birth cert to approve our leave.

When the birth cert was shown to me later in the evening, I was only impressed by the neat looking piece of certificate. It was only later that Guan told me to look carefully at our son's birth cert no. The last 5 numbers was a mirror image of Guan's IC last 5 numbers. How amazingly conincidental!! We don't know what this means exactly but at least to date, Guan has another thing to be proud off... that Jotham takes after him. We tried to analyze the possibility of mine, our son would have to be S'pore's 90,000th over baby if his birth cert was to be a mirror image of mine. Ha Ha!
