Yah lah, her husband already so cham low sperm count, why still give him more stress ah? More stress become even lower still then.

do you mean disharmony between her hubby's gonads?

 

[sleaguepunter]

did the losses come from native aussies or were they from visitors/tourists? from my observation and personal experiences, the average aussie is not as avid as a Chinese or a Singaporean

Apparently u never heard of the Race That Stop A Nation. The aussie parliament will stop for two hours to allow the politicians to bet and watch the telecast which is hold on the first tuesday of November.

It stops New Zealand too. If you want to drive anywhere, do it during the magic hour before the start of the Melbourne Cup. You'll cut your travel time by half.

Migration is so passe. I wanted to migrate when i was an ignorant kid thinking the pastures are greener over the hedge.
Can't understand why people wants to leave such a wonderful place

My friend, Jocelyn, is having her 1st child in Nov. She is a Singaporean and wants her child to be raised as an Australian. She intends to give birth to her child in australia.

I wonder what you think of her decision?

She is to be applauded. A mother must always do the right thing for her child.

Kudos, Joycelyn

She not alone. At least 4 of my friends did that.. more from my wife's sister of friends. Their children are born in foreigner country so they have a choice before the kids turn 12. Already two groups have left to be in AU permanently; one in France.

New Cs in Singapore? Childbirth in a foreign country ? Lol.

Hi,

Only when a child is born in Australia to PRs or Australians are given citizenship.

If you are a tourist and delivers, no citizenship. Citizen of the country of the parents.

gal or boy, Jocelyn's child will be an aussie

 

[marineblue911]

Sorry, din see post #7.

Since she is PR, then its a winner for all. Parents can apply to be citizens any time they want based on the child's citizenship.

Cheers!

Any gambling can be addictive. And yes, Aussies are big gamblers as well. Asians migrants makes up a large portion in the casinos here. The question is, if the kid can or know how to control this. Same situation for weed, I know many aussies that takes it on a regular basis, they work just as fine like any other normal person. A lot of politicians have also come out admitting they took some before. Bob Carr and several white papers/commissions have also suggested making it legal. Weed at this point is more or less decriminalised if you use it for personal uses. You might get checked by the sniffers dogs, but if you admit to using it before or they find less then an ounce on you, you'll be let off with a warning.

Yes, I suspect all gambling are addictive. It keeps the adrenalin rushing.

I guess upbringing helps to promote clean lifestyle

Congrats on your friend, public or private? I'll suggest that you just let her go to a public hospital rather then spend that money in private. The public health system is good. I recently have a baby boy and I don't pay a single cent through the public system.

Looks like you support her decision too.

I am not sure which hospital she intends to opt for to deliver her baby. But I trust she will make a wise decision

 

[TracyTan866]

I hate to break the news to you sweetheart. Young female teenagers have been prostituting themselves (for a quick buck, or to overcome financial distress) in SG since the dawn of time. The internet is just another distribution channel.

It seems to have gotten worse in recent years

 

[TracyTan866]

I don't know. I don't gamble either. I'll have to ask my friend who spends half his time on the TAB website and the other half at the greyhound and horse racing tracks.

is your friend an ex singaporean ?

 

[Leongsam]

is your friend an ex singaporean ?

Ozzie... the descendant of convict category.

Why you bring that out. That may cause disharmony between her husband.

it was my hubby who brought me to see his friend. i was not comfortable with his decision because we meet him frequently at social functions

 

[TracyTan866]

why you so bothered?
you chipping in to bring up the kid?

i am not bothered. I rejoice with her.

just wanted to share her decision here and see whether other singaporeans like you think a singaporean opting to give birth overseas is a good decision

You're not allowed to choose your own gynaecologist???
