SINGAPORE – It’s Singapore’s 51st birthday today and for one family, it will also be their most memorable National Day yet.
Wong Ying Ying, 37, and Raymond Toh, 39, welcomed their first child – a baby girl they named Xiu Hui – just one second past midnight at Mount Alvernia Hospital on Aug 9.
The 3.5kg baby was delivered naturally.
Wong, who is a Singaporean PR and works in customer service, was told on Aug 8 that she was ready to go into labour.
“We are delighted and thankful that our little girl is finally here in time to celebrate National Day,” she said, happily exclaiming that there would be fireworks every year on her daughter’s birthday.
