Kinder Clinic Paragon: Alex's Pediatrician- Dr Kenny Ee

Thought I'll share this as it has benefited us greatly. I heard many horror stories about the children's PD and we are quite thankful that we found a really good pediatrician for Alex in Singapore.

I am not sure if it will apply to your child but Alex loves this PD for some reason. Dr Kenny Ee tended to him since he was born and the amazing part is that Alex never cries despite the injections when he is under Dr Kenny Ee. I mean of course he whines a little when the needle is poking through him but then the moment it's done, he is fine again. And he loves smiling at Dr Ee too, G and I call him the baby whisperer..haha

Onae side note, we did try to go to another highly raved PD in Marine Parade but he doesn't seem too concern or friendly towards Alex or us. The receptionist/nurse is not approachable at all.  The clinic is situated within a neighbourhood and we would expect the fees to be lower than Kinder Clinic however the bill came out to be the same. Therefore we concluded we should just stick with Dr Ee at Kinder.

Overview: 
Pros

  1. Alex likes the PD and is at ease during all the consultations.
  2. Dr Ee is very friendly, easy to ask him questions and he does a thorough check of the baby. 
  3. Nurses are friendly and approachable
  4. Convenient location
  5. Reasonable pricing


Cons

  1. 1. Need to make appointments way ahead (like 2-3 weeks). The schedules are very packed!
  2. Walk-ins, unless you do so first thing in the morning, has a very long waiting time. (we waited 2 hours before)

Left: The lineup before the clinic opens
Right: Alex still smiling after the injections.

Manicure/Pedicure In Jakarta and Where to Go

I don't know if I am being overly critical or just plain fussy but I find that manicure and pedicure services in Jakarta are not up to par as compared to the other Asian cities like Bangkok, HongKong, and even Singapore! And by all means, the services aren't cheap as compared to overall standard of living locally. To have manicure/pedicure at somewhat a decent place with clean tools usually starts at 220,000 idr (22usd)...and you are not guaranteed OPI or internationally known brands. Nail salons at shopping malls will set you back about 450,000idr (45usd/52sgd)- funny how manicure in Jakarta cost the same in Singapore. Whoever said Jakarta is cheap?! Once, I accompanied my friend to a salon at Kemang where she wanted to have a hairwash and blowdry and I decided to have a manicure/pedicure there while waiting for her. The girl/manicurist came with a large plastic container (like the ones you store miscellaneous stuff in the wardrobe/storeroom) and inside it, the tools and ...

Birthstory: Giving Birth In Jakarta via natural delivery

Many friends and acquaintances I know are actually pretty skeptical about giving birth in Jakarta due to the lack of medical know-hows and emergency infrastructure locally. Hubby G and I decided to deliver in Jakarta after much consideration. (You may want to read about it here: Deciding To Give Birth in Singapore or Jakarta ) Couple of blog readers have been asking me about my childbirth experience in Jakarta and hubby G is also constantly pestering me to record the birth experience so that we won't forget in the future.(Birth amnesia is real~~ I am starting to forget details of my delivery with my first child) And also, for the sake of anyone like myself who's frantically trying to research about delivering in Jakarta; for those who has tried googling for e.g 'delivering in Jakarta', 'giving birth in Jakarta', 'experience childbirth Jakarta', 'natural birth jakarta', 'expat giving birth Jakarta', etc and yet got not much information i...

Part 3: Deciding to give birth in Jakarta or Singapore

A tough dilemma isn't it? Giving birth in Jakarta or Singapore has its pros and cons. We know of many expats and affluent Indonesians moms would fly down to Singapore to have their delivery there. After all Singapore's healthcare is unarguably one of the best of the region and the entire country runs efficiently. The price difference between delivering in Singapore's hospitals and the prestigious hospitals here in Jakarta is not that huge either; and of course Singapore's hospitals are definitely way better maintained so it does seem like a very attractive idea to deliver in Singapore. There's couple of considerations when hubby G and I were debating to give birth in Jakarta or Singapore. 1. Medical Care. How comfortable and confident we feel about the local hospital facilities? 2. Logistics. If I were to give birth in Singapore, it means I have to be there a month before I am due and only be able to fly back a month after I deliver. Plus minus..I ...
