On 17 January 2016, I was an excited little kid. It was a beautiful day in Singapore and I had my DJI Mavic Pro for about a week and a half but have not flown it yet. I brought it over to Singapore from Melbourne so it could make its maiden flight in my home country. It was so much more portable than the last one I had – DJI Phantom 4! I was impressed with how compact it is!

What made it more excitable was that my parents and Cameron were there to watch it take off! At MacRitchie Reservoir Park, Dad was particularly excited as well, and he was also impressed by the speed it went and the distance it covered. Here are some of the shots and videos. It’s a pity that my polarised lens did not arrive in time…

At the Ling Family home, we managed to sneak the DJI Mavic Pro out between the frequent rain showers. What a fun family shoot! Never seen the house that I grew up in from the top view. Even the cul-de-sac at the front of the house looks so nice. That tree, which my dad really dislike looks pretty cool from above!

To twins or not to twins?

Surrogacy
February 9, 2017June 1, 2020

So there is a turn of events or expectations. Our IVF Clinic has indicated to our surrogate that there is only going to be one embryo transfer, which means that the likelihood of us having twins has been chopped at the legs. The egg donor and us do not have any family history of twins, so we can rule out the chances of the embryo splitting for identical twins.

It is not that we insist in twins, but we have been told by our surrogacy agency that they advise not to have double embryo transfer, but if the surrogate is okay and also if we want to try for it, we can, as long as we sign a waiver form, which we did. We are aware of the risks of multiple births.
