This is the continuation of my previous post regarding the papers you need to do for your newborn kid in Singapore. http://raabad.blogspot.com/2010/08/newborn-filipinos-in-singapore-now-what.html
Reminder: This post is based from our experience back in November 2010. Some details might have changed since then.
Philippine Passport Collection
Although you generally have to arrive early at the Philippine Embassy to accomplish things faster, for passport collection you actually have a bit of a leeway. No need to be at the gates before 7:00 AM. I was there around 10:40 AM (I got queue number 49; the number being served at that time was 26). I was finished by 11:15 AM.
And -- perhaps more importantly -- there is NO NEED TO BRING THE BABY WITH YOU!!! Yep. There's absolutely no need. Dads can do this on their own, without tagging along the entire baby crew. Means you can move faster and you don't have to worry about your baby getting irritated with all the noise and the weather. Yipee for baby! :)
So here's what you bring along:

House M. D. Quotes - Season 7 Episode 5 - Unplanned Parenthood
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I'm not bargaining sex for babysitting. Besides, you owe me.
Dr. Gregory House: For what?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Sex! I still don't see a female doctor in that room. It's making me very
unhappy.
Dr. Gregory House: Fine. Out of the goodness of my heart, which will make you happy, which
will make you desire me more, which will turn into more sex.
Dr. Eric Foreman: Do you want me to hire a white girl?
Dr. Gregory House: Go find a woman, and wipe that self-satisfied grin off your face.
Dr. Gregory House: Well, narrow it down to one before Cuddy starts withholding sex.
Dr. Robert Chase: House is gonna hate anyone we hire, because he doesn't want to hire... anyone.
Dr. Chris Taub: So you think I should abstain? Just give the decision back to him?
[Foreman can be seen in the background trying to contact House]
Dr. Robert Chase: Then he'll just mock you for being a wuss. You're screwed.
Dr. Gregory House: You're telling me to do the right thing while climbing out a window!
Abbey: Well, it's been getting better, actually. At least she's here in the building. That's pretty supportive for her.
Dr. Gregory House: I assume, since you're calling so early, that the surgery was a rousing
success.
Dr. Eric Foreman: And I assume, since you still think we actually did the surgery, you
haven't checked your messages in eight hours. Where are you?
Dr. Gregory House: I believe this is what your people term a "poopy call".
Dr. Eric Foreman: Uh, the word is "booty".
Dr. Gregory House: Well, I don't know what you're doing, but this is a poopy call.
Dr. Gregory House: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what?! I know about the Jew, the black, and the croc-hunter, but when did we get our Asian persuasion on?
Dr. Chris Taub: Dr. Cheng... is the NICU attending on the case. And she's not here.
Dr. Gregory House: Well, then I just wasted a perfectly good racial epithet.
Dr. Chris Taub: In fairness, it wasn't completely her idea. More of a Foreman kinda thing.
Dr. Gregory House: Well, then you're an even bigger idiot for trying to cover for her.
Abbey: I just gave birth. I'm, like, one big vat of hormones right now.
Justine: It's not just the hormones, mom! You're different with her. It's okay. It's good. It's just... I can't help thinking "where was this mom when I was growing up?"
Dr. Chris Taub: The baby's bleeding again.
Dr. Gregory House: I'm shocked! Oh, no, wait a minute — that's you.
Dr. Chris Taub: Yes, you're a genius.
Dr. James Wilson: That's because I'm the tickle monster.
Dr. Gregory House: Our patient can either go through life with the world's longest umbilical cord, or we can discuss the differential for magic blood.
Abbey: I had this baby because I... wanted a chance to be a special mom. But... not this way.
Dr. Gregory House: I am not going to bargain babysitting for sex. Who the hell said that? Of course I will.
Abbey: I ate all the right foods, I read all the books and the studies, and I... even hired a private detective to research each sperm donor. I just missed one big thing. My own cancer.
Dr. Eric Foreman: You're over-thinking this. House fired my pick site-unseen. He was never even interested in Chase's pick, he was only obsessed with how she reflected on Chase. Dr. Cheng is the only candidate he's actually responded to. You wanted House invested. He is. Hire her.
Dr. Chris Taub: And you think I'm over-thinking this?
Dr. Eric Foreman: Shut up and hire her.
Justine: Oh, you don't know if I'm great. You don't know me at all. And I'm not gonna let you martyr yourself for a two-day-old infant just because you feel guilty because you weren't around for me.
Dr. Gregory House: Was obviously just a pocket of air, like I said all along. But you saw the worst case scenario... like every irrational,
worried parent. You'd make a terrible mommy.
Dr. Cheng: You're a grown man, Dr. Taub. You can make whatever choices you want, and instead of hiring me when he said you could, you chose to act like a paranoid, scared little kid... I hate kids. Good-bye, Dr. Taub.
Justine: I'll make sure you never forget her... and what she did for you. She was just trying to be the best mom in the world. She was.
Dr. Gregory House: For what?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Sex! I still don't see a female doctor in that room. It's making me very
unhappy.
Dr. Gregory House: Fine. Out of the goodness of my heart, which will make you happy, which
will make you desire me more, which will turn into more sex.

House M. D. Quotes - Season 7 Episode 4 - Massage Therapy
Dr. Gregory House: I get it. You're jealous of my new cane, so you hired a new doctor that you could lean on.
Dr. Robert Chase: Exactly. Nothing to do with the fact that you instructed me to hire one.
Dr. Gregory House: Man, you're hot. I mean, seriously.
Dr. Gregory House: I know what you're thinking. She looks like Cameron, and he's hired her solely to sleep with her.
Dr. Gregory House: Well, you should have. But you'd be foolishly wrong. Yes, he's been dating at a near-Clooney pace recently, but at this point, the only hole he's trying to fill is the one in his soul, which means it's the emotional connection with Cameron that he misses. Did you ever marry a dying man? And if so, did you freeze his sperm?
Dr. Robert Chase: She was nervous. Give her a break. Oh… And she's not like Cameron.
Dr. Gregory House: True. Cameron had much smaller breasts. By which I mean she was smarter.
Dr. James Wilson: How are things going with Cuddy?
Dr. Gregory House: Great. We've gotten to fifth base. That's two home runs, and then she gives me back a triple.
Dr. Gregory House: Am I wearing a dashiki? [Wilson chuckles] Easy Rider auditions ended four
decades ago.
Dr. James Wilson: Whose idea was that?
Dr. Gregory House: Mine. But I let her think it's hers. That's the fun of a relationship.
You get the sex, the dinners… video game partnership. I also get a full-night's
sleep.
Dr. Eric Foreman: I checked the pipes and the paint. It's not lead poisoning. You got anything?
Dr. Chris Taub: Yeah, I was looking around in the corner over there. I found a question about why you have a problem with our new doctor.
Dr. Chris Taub: Dude, is this about Thirteen?
Dr. Eric Foreman: No. Why are you calling me "dude"?
Dr. Eric Foreman: One, I don't have feelings for Thirteen beyond friendship. Two, it's a temporary replacement. And three, dude?
Dr. Chris Taub: It felt right.
Dr. Gregory House: Dorothy. Dorothy. Dorothy, dear! It's Aunt Em, darling.
Margaret: What's wrong with me?
Dr. Gregory House: Well, on the one hand, you've got some mysterious heart and tummy problems. On the other, you look great for a 65-year-old. So who are you? And, no, that's not some weird Canadian pronunciation of "how."
Dr. Robert Chase: Why not just place a chair above a trap door with a shark tank underneath?
Dr. Gregory House: Wednesday is when I get my shark tank cleaned. Also because I'm giving her a chance.
Dr. Robert Chase: You're giving her a test.
Dr. Gregory House: This whole job is a test. I'm giving her the chance to fail it sooner rather than later. Or pass.
Dr. Eric Foreman: House was wrong trying to come up with a complicated reason you hired Kelly.
Dr. Robert Chase: Thank you.
Dr. Eric Foreman: It's actually quite simple. You think she's hot. You want to sleep with her.
Dr. Robert Chase: Well, it was nice to see you finally taking an interest in my life. We should go bowling sometime.
Dr. Eric Foreman: I'm just saying if you spend all your off-work time and energy getting laid, it's gonna spill into your work as well.
Dr. Gregory House: Well, it was a massage plus happy ending sort of thing. Now it's more of a sad ending. Because of you! I've tried 15
different massage therapists over the last few years. I don't know why, but she's the best I've found. She makes my leg feel better.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: So you really think that I would be okay with you getting a massage from a hooker you used to have sex with?
Dr. Gregory House: You don't mind the massage part, you mind the sex part, which doesn't exist anymore.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I know a great physical therapist. I will give you her number.
Dr. Gregory House: Why would I give up one who definitely works for one who might work?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Because I asked you to.
Dr. Gregory House: That's not really an argument, now, is it?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I won't see you until you stop seeing her.
Dr. Gregory House: Well, that's an argument.
Dr. James Wilson: Ah, yes, the age-old hooker massage conundrum. Cuddy might have mentioned something about it. Let's say you're right. Completely right about everything. Give in anyway.
Dr. Gregory House: This is not a point of pride. This is a point of principle.
Dr. James Wilson: Right, you're the Rosa Parks of hooker massages.
Dr. Gregory House: The principle is she's being irrational. If I give in on this, it sets the stage for the whole relationship.
Dr. James Wilson: Putting up with irrationality is the foundation for every relationship. I agree with Sam when she's calling her father a monster. I agree with her when she's calling him a saint. And in exchange, I get to have sex with her. And I'm sure she has similar tradeoffs with me. Relationships are hard. You have to make sacrifices. So sacrifice being crazy. Go get her a gift and apologize.
Dr. Gregory House: You finally made a good point.
Dr. James Wilson: Which, clearly, you have misunderstood based on how quickly you agreed.
Dr. Gregory House: Would you mind standing next to the screen?
Dr. Robert Chase: Yeah, she'd love to become a target for your ridicule.
Dr. Gregory House: She isn't already?
Dr. Gregory House: Snapilicious! But as I always like to say, it's better to be a helpful Helen than a negative Nelly. So while you're cooking up some ideas of your own, allow me to present theory 2.0 of why Chase hired you. Dr. Kelly, meet your doppelganger.
Dr. Gregory House: I know what you're thinking, Chase wants to sleep with his mom. But who wouldn't hit that if that looked like that? It's a classic case of what Freud called.
Dr. Gregory House: Well, you get major points for trying to trick me. Unfortunately, you lose 'em all for failing. Hold that. Hold that. See, now you're frowning. You can really see the resemblance.
Dr. Robert Chase: So that's what it is. You're angry that House gave me the chance to hire someone because you still think you're at a different level to everyone else. That's just pathetic.
Dr. Eric Foreman: I am at a different level.
Dr. Robert Chase: Which is reflected in what, exactly? Your title? No. Your salary? Not really. Your responsibilities? Hardly. Your attitude? Ah. I think we finally found it.
Dr. Eric Foreman: It doesn't change the fact that you made a bad decision because you want to get laid.
Dr. Robert Chase: Or the fact that you're courageously picking on Kelly because you're scared to take on House. Congratulations. You're a real leader.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I'm sure that some part of you believes this idiocy. But you can't possibly be stupid enough to think that you can convince any part of me. And that can only mean you're trying to sabotage this relationship.
Dr. Gregory House: Why would I do that? We're doing fine.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Because the next step from fine is serious, and you can't handle that, so you're trying to keep me at arm's length with all this crap.
Dr. Gregory House: You know what, I'm back to the Cameron theory. That you hired the dumb version of Cameron so that you could fire her and get revenge.
Dr. Eric Foreman: Give her a break.
Dr. Gregory House: Oh, you've switched sides? Let me guess, Chase represents the dumb version of Thirteen...
Dr. Eric Foreman: I realized if we all just keep pressuring Kelly, of course she's gonna get stuff wrong. It's irresponsible of me to let that happen.
Dr. Gregory House: You are a true leader of men. Get someone to cut into her head and get me a biopsy.
Billy: This is not who I married.
Dr. Gregory House: Of course she is. You just didn't know it.
Billy: I don't know if I can stay with her.
Dr. Gregory House: Sorry, as your marriage counselor, I'm not allowed to talk to you without your wife present.
Dr. Gregory House: Look, if you want me to give you a reason to leave her, fine. Apparently you haven't noticed, but she's got a serious mental illness.
Billy: It's too hard.
Dr. Gregory House: It's always hard.
Dr. Robert Chase: Exactly. Nothing to do with the fact that you instructed me to hire one.
Dr. Gregory House: Man, you're hot. I mean, seriously.
Dr. Gregory House: I know what you're thinking. She looks like Cameron, and he's hired her solely to sleep with her.

House M. D. Quotes - Season 7 Episode 3 - Unwritten
Dr. Gregory House: For now. We're in the honeymoon period. Our brains are flooded with endorphins. Once she snaps out of it, where does that leave us?
Dr. James Wilson: House, you don't actually think she'd dump you because you, what, don't do yoga? Listen to the B-52s?
Dr. Gregory House: Not right away. We'll fight, makeup sex, fight, maybe sex, and then she'll dump me. With possible goodbye sex.
Dr. James Wilson: So, instead of enjoying the honeymoon phase, you've decided to skip it entirely.
Dr. Gregory House: No, then she'll start pretending to like things that she really doesn't just to make me feel better, which will make her feel even worse, which won't be my fault, so I'll resent her, and that won't be her fault, so she'll resent me. At least with my plan I get my one a day with iron till the bitter end.
Dr. Gregory House: This woman is on a 72-hour psychiatric hold. If she tries to run, shoot her. With a sedative, if that's more convenient.
Dr. Eric Foreman: So we're taking this case 'cause you're a fan?
Dr. Gregory House: No, that would be crazy and unprofessional. You're taking this case 'cause I said so.
Dr. Chris Taub: I have plans with my wife.
Dr. Gregory House: Yeah, nice try, but you hate your personal life. And you obviously don't have one.
Dr. James Wilson: House, you don't actually think she'd dump you because you, what, don't do yoga? Listen to the B-52s?

House M. D. Quotes - Season 7 Episode 2 - Selfish
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Well, that's why I plan on doing some talking first. (She pats his arm). I want us to formerly report our relationship to Human Resources.
Dr. Gregory House :Okay. You get them, I'll cover everybody else. (He pushes the elevator button with the tip of his cane).
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : I would appreciate it if we could keep it quiet until we had that meeting.
Dr. Gregory House :It's gonna be hard with me grabbing your ass all day.
Dr. Gregory House :I'm seeing Cuddy. (All heads up). Generally, without her clothes on. Use your imagination. Hope it's got a wide-angle lens. (He chuckles. They all stare at him, looking confused. He takes back the file Wilson was reading). You don't actually need that.
Dr. James Wilson :I'm gonna check my office for whoopee cushions.
Dr. Gregory House :This is not a prank.
Dr. James Wilson :This is not me walking out the door. (He leaves).
Dr. Chris Taub : Are you sure it a good idea to be yanking on the chain of command?
Dr. Gregory House :I agree. It's weird of me not to care. So either I'm a changed man because of Cuddy, or I'm pretending to be a changed man because I do know something about Thirteen and I'm trying to throw you off the scent, or I've just gone nutty bananas because I lost a patient. All of which you are free to discuss (Articulating) after I get a diagnosis.
Dr. Eric Foreman : How about just telling her we're planning this stupid test? And I'm hoping House and Cuddy are more than just a fling. It's clearly mellowed him out. He didn't even care about Thirteen.
Dr. Chris Taub : Right. The guy who ordered us to stop the patient's heart has mellowed out. It's gonna be horrible because it's doomed, which is just gonna make House 50 times more of a crank.
Dr. James Wilson :Yes, the lack of dime-store pranks is proof that you're actually dating Cuddy, and not just mocking me for being worried about you.
Dr. Gregory House :What do I have to do to prove this to you? Tattoo a cane on her inner thigh? Tattoo her inner thigh on my cane? (Cuddy enters).
Dr. Gregory House :Come on. One peck. Just enough to arouse him a little.
Dr. James Wilson :I – hey, I'm not even...
Dr. Gregory House :I didn't mean you.
Dr. James Wilson :I've been more passionate with my great aunt.
Dr. Gregory House :Mabel? Up high!
HR guy : How would you describe the exact nature of the relationship?
Dr. Gregory House :You ever see Wild Kingdom? Those insects that rip their partner's heads off after copulating? (He turns to Cuddy for approval. There is an akward silence. Ernest Griffin considers this and starts to write it down. Cuddy, who was preparing to speak, stops and looks startled.)
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : It's a sexual relationship.
Dr. Gregory House :Go slowly now. He's writing it down.
Dr. Gregory House :So what could cause her heart to stop and her urine not to drop?
Dr. Chris Taub : House, I was expecting your relationship with Cuddy to complicate our work long-term. (House turns back, gives him a patient, fake-polite look). I am now concerned it might be affecting us short-term. All due respect.
Dr. Gregory House :None taken. I listen to Cuddy all the time. She's my boss. Also yours, by the way.
Dr. Chris Taub : You'd listen, then tell her she's being an idiot, and do whatever you want.
Dr. Gregory House :I find I can skip the idiot part when she's not being an idiot, and since the scare test would have led to the same dead end, she was right to stop it. Which means your problem's about you.
Dr. Chris Taub : This should be interesting.
Dr. Gregory House :Losers love company. And if even a misanthrope like me has a chance at happiness, it's gonna be pretty lonely on that landfill of loserdom you call a marriage. (Taub looks a little hurt, Foreman smiles. House opens the patient's file). Heart, kidneys, go.
Sidney :He has tingling in his feet and his legs. I want a full battery of tests.
Dr. Gregory House :Carbon dating?
Dr. Gregory House :Well, that's true, he's definitely had his jowls done. Statistically, if he didn't have these symptoms, he'd be like most people of his age — dead for the past several decades.
Maurice :Do the tests. I'm sick.
Dr. Gregory House :You have a bad case of natural causes.
Sidney :Do the damn tests.
Dr. Gregory House :If the vial fills with sand, we take that as a bad sign.
Dr. Gregory House :What other problem could there be with a problem-free procedure? Boy's sports, science club, she's living his life, not hers. (He puts the file away, takes another, looks at Taub). Makes sense she's being a self-denying moron.
Dr. Chris Taub : She loves her brother. She's thinking selflessly. How is that at all—
House: Being moronic? Mm. If I can only think of a harm-free medical treatment she turned down lately.
Dr. Chris Taub : You're right. If everyone were more selfish, the world would be a better place.
Dr. Gregory House :See? I can skip the idiot part when you're not being an idiot. (He turns to leave the Clinic. Wilson is leaning in the doorframe, arms crossed, with a huge smile on his face).
Dr. Gregory House :Yeah, I had that same facial expression for the first 47 hours. Had another one too, but only for 15 seconds at a time. (They pass the door and walk together, as usual).
Della : I am. Sort of. Um, I got into skateboarding when some of Hugo's classmates did, and he realized he could never do it. (She looks outside of the room, where Chase is talking to her parents and Hugo). It's the same with a lot of things. We live through it together.
Dr. Chris Taub : And you're not worried you're being selfless to the point of self-denial?
Della : You've never been inspired by someone?
Dr. Gregory House :Yeah (Wilson looks genuinely surprised). I have to avoid this problem. If I can restrict our interactions to places where neither of us are wearing pants...
Dr. James Wilson :Yeah, that's not avoiding the problem, that's avoiding the issue.
Dr. Gregory House :Since avoidance is my plan for dealing with the issue, technically, that's not avoiding it. (He seems relieved). Thanks.
Dr. James Wilson :No problem.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Maybe we should plan on lunch tomorrow.
Dr. Gregory House :Problem is, at lunch you tend to wear tops.(Cuddy smiles widely. He lifts the sheet and takes a look). This is much better. (Cuddy laughs. He smiles and kiss her forehead, then lifts himself and prepares to kiss her properly. The phone rings. Cuddy frowns. He reaches for his phone and answers. During the whole conversation, Cuddy caresses his forearm and traces one of his veins).
Dr. Gregory House :Cuddy and I are naked. So I'm having trouble focusing. Use small words.
Foreman (He and Chase are in the lab, near a computer screen) : Kidney biopsy was clean, so we rechecked the piece of her lung from the O.R.
Dr. Gregory House :You lost me. Sorry, who is this calling again?
Dr. Eric Foreman : If we give steroids for rejection, it'd make an infection worse. If we give antibiotics for infection, it'd make rejection worse.
Dr. Gregory House :Which worse is worse?
Dr. Robert Chase:If we treat for infection and we're wrong, she'll be dead within hours.
Dr. Gregory House :And if we treat for rejection and we're wrong?
Dr. Chris Taub : She'll probably hang on a day or two.
Maurice :Skip the blood work. (House suppress a smile). Tell my son it's grim news. I need to be in a nursing home. A private room. (Pause) Make it a suite.
Cuddy : I sit around on my bureaucratic ass?
Dr. Chris Taub : I was relaying your words.
Dr. Gregory House :I said well-formed. I said well-formed! (to Taub) What were you—
Dr. Gregory House :Stop. I agree with you (He gives a little sigh. Taub is speechless). That was our analysis from the start. (to Taub) If you've got a problem with a team decision, you come to me. (to Cuddy, sheepishly) I'm sorry. I-I'll deal with him later. (Pleadingly) I said well-formed.
Dr. Gregory House :People who have not seen Cuddy naked should not throw stones.
Maurice :She does have great cans. (House gives him a look).
Dr. Robert Chase:Did it ever occur to you that House is just happy and could give a crap about other people's lives because of it?
Dr. Chris Taub : Well, that's ironic and depressing. And by that logic, the reason you don't give a crap is because you're happy, which means you've got someone new giving you chew toys.
Dr. Robert Chase:You're one-fourth right.
Dr. Chris Taub : Wait. Are you saying... (pagers beep) You're dating four women?
Dr. Robert Chase:It is LAM. The tests were positive.
Dr. Gregory House :Then the tests have to be wrong.
Dr. Gregory House :Damage has a way of spreading to everyone around you. For example, your obvious emotional damage is now making me have a philosophical conversation instead of dealing with your sister. See how that might be damaging?
Dr. Gregory House :Yeah, we get it. Your brother, the Saint. His sister, the Martyr. (He leaves the room. Taubs runs after him).
Dr. Gregory House :She has a nasty case of sickle cell trait. Her heart arrhythmia wasn't sudden at all. Screwed-up blood cells screwed-up the blood vessels, which gave us a screwed-up positive for LAM. If she'd told us about her symptoms sooner — like ever — she might not be dying. You were right after all.
Dr. Chris Taub : I never said sickle—
Dr. Gregory House :If everyone were more selfish, the world would be a better place.
Dr. Chris Taub : So she's gonna die.
Dr. Gregory House :I guess I can just chat with them about the weather. Blood tests just confirmed sickle cell trait. So they might be curious about the only treatment option. Though we are having weird weather lately.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : There is a huge reason not to take lungs from living patients.
Dr. Gregory House :So their siblings can die?
Dr. Gregory House :Maybe. (Raises eyebrows and admits it) Yeah. I think so. This is screwing me up. Why is it not screwing you up?
Cuddy : It is. I don't know why I okayed you foaming that lung. I realized it was wrong as soon as I said it.
Dr. Gregory House :I knew it! I knew 'cause you tilted your head.
Dr. Gregory House :Bizarrely, it explains all your symptoms. Better-fitting dentures, you'll be fine. Medically, there's no reason to go anywhere... Hospital rebate. You might wanna... put it towards couples therapy.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Don't put this on them.
Dr. Gregory House :What do you mean, put it on? It is on them! As much as they may wanna pass the lung here!
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Of course they do! You're handing them an impossible choice.
Dr. Gregory House :Life has handed them a crappy choice, and they're picking the crappier option — trading who knows how many healthy decades for four or five years in which roller boy will be a limp rag.
Hugo :I want you to take half my lung.
Della : No. I'm not.
Hugo :You do so many great things. I just watch. I get to watch and coach and cheer. But that's not me out there. It never will be. If you take this piece of me, carry it with you... then I really can share in everything you do. (The parents stare at them). This is the great thing I can do with my life. Don't make me live without you.
Dr. Gregory House :We got lucky. I did give them an impossible choice. The kid took it away from them.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : That fight... was the first honest interaction you and I have had since we came back to work. If we are painfully, brutally honest with each other, maybe we'll get lucky again.
Dr. Gregory House :You've got a big ass. (He grabs it. Cuddy smiles at him, intertwines her fingers with his on her bottom, takes his hand and leads him to the elevator).
Dr. Gregory House :Okay. You get them, I'll cover everybody else. (He pushes the elevator button with the tip of his cane).
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : I would appreciate it if we could keep it quiet until we had that meeting.
Dr. Gregory House :It's gonna be hard with me grabbing your ass all day.
Dr. Gregory House :I'm seeing Cuddy. (All heads up). Generally, without her clothes on. Use your imagination. Hope it's got a wide-angle lens. (He chuckles. They all stare at him, looking confused. He takes back the file Wilson was reading). You don't actually need that.
Dr. James Wilson :I'm gonna check my office for whoopee cushions.
Dr. Gregory House :This is not a prank.
Dr. James Wilson :This is not me walking out the door. (He leaves).
Dr. Chris Taub : Are you sure it a good idea to be yanking on the chain of command?
Dr. Gregory House :I agree. It's weird of me not to care. So either I'm a changed man because of Cuddy, or I'm pretending to be a changed man because I do know something about Thirteen and I'm trying to throw you off the scent, or I've just gone nutty bananas because I lost a patient. All of which you are free to discuss (Articulating) after I get a diagnosis.
Dr. Eric Foreman : How about just telling her we're planning this stupid test? And I'm hoping House and Cuddy are more than just a fling. It's clearly mellowed him out. He didn't even care about Thirteen.
Dr. Chris Taub : Right. The guy who ordered us to stop the patient's heart has mellowed out. It's gonna be horrible because it's doomed, which is just gonna make House 50 times more of a crank.
Dr. James Wilson :Yes, the lack of dime-store pranks is proof that you're actually dating Cuddy, and not just mocking me for being worried about you.
Dr. Gregory House :What do I have to do to prove this to you? Tattoo a cane on her inner thigh? Tattoo her inner thigh on my cane? (Cuddy enters).
Dr. Gregory House :Come on. One peck. Just enough to arouse him a little.
Dr. James Wilson :I – hey, I'm not even...
Dr. Gregory House :I didn't mean you.
Dr. James Wilson :I've been more passionate with my great aunt.
Dr. Gregory House :Mabel? Up high!
HR guy : How would you describe the exact nature of the relationship?
Dr. Gregory House :You ever see Wild Kingdom? Those insects that rip their partner's heads off after copulating? (He turns to Cuddy for approval. There is an akward silence. Ernest Griffin considers this and starts to write it down. Cuddy, who was preparing to speak, stops and looks startled.)
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : It's a sexual relationship.
Dr. Gregory House :Go slowly now. He's writing it down.
Dr. Gregory House :So what could cause her heart to stop and her urine not to drop?
Dr. Chris Taub : House, I was expecting your relationship with Cuddy to complicate our work long-term. (House turns back, gives him a patient, fake-polite look). I am now concerned it might be affecting us short-term. All due respect.
Dr. Gregory House :None taken. I listen to Cuddy all the time. She's my boss. Also yours, by the way.
Dr. Chris Taub : You'd listen, then tell her she's being an idiot, and do whatever you want.

House M. D. Quotes - Season 7 Episode 1 - Now What?
Dr. Robert Chase : Yet you're the only person here without a potential case in front of you.
Dr. Remy Hadley : I haven't found the right one yet.
Dr. Robert Chase : Oh. I–I thought maybe it was because you were asking for a leave of absence and wouldn't have time to see a case through.
Dr. Chris Taub : I didn't say anything.
Dr. Robert Chase : He didn't...I saw an envelope on House's desk with your name on it, so naturally, I... steamed it open.
Dr. Eric Foreman : What's wrong with you? You steam an envelope to keep it secret.
Dr. Eric Foreman : Which is why I just ripped it. You gonna tell us where you're going?
Dr. Remy Hadley : Sure sounds like a no.
Dr. Gregory House : This is important. Right now, we are more important than what's going on at the hospital. So...I say we turn off our phones and... give the morning to us.
Dr. Gregory House : I am going to make you a magical bath. It will have bubbles and eastern spices and blue diamonds and green clovers... transformative powers. But… I must have solitude to focus my creative energies.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Don't do this. Why do you have to analyze things to death? Why can't you just... let it be nice?
Dr. Gregory House : If an EMT calls in with a brain or spinal trauma, just divert them to the nearest hospital. All you gotta do is stand around and keep the E.R. open. It's an administrative problem, not a medical one.
Dr. Robert Chase : House, where the hell are you?
Dr. Gregory House : Great. Glad you're on it... All systems go!
Dr. Eric Foreman : Why are you going to Rome? I found the flight information in your locker.
Dr. Remy Hadley : I love how everyone thinks it's so quaint and childlike of me to expect a modicum of privacy around here.
Dr. Eric Foreman : Your flight's tomorrow. What's so urgent in Rome?
Dr. Remy Hadley : I hear they want to tear down the Coliseum to build a karaoke bar.
Dr. Remy Hadley : You read my note. You go through my locker. And then you decide you want to round it off by lecturing me on my life choices?
Dr. Gregory House : Well, last night was emotional for you. We both lost that patient. We watched people die. I came back here and I went for the Vicodin, and you... dumped your fiancé and you came here.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Which I don't regret.
Dr. Gregory House : I'm not saying you do. I'm just saying it was an impulsive move.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : The secret bath is... burning my lady parts.
Dr. Gregory House : How do you think my anus feels? Burning means it's working.
Alex : Dr. Cuddy's first assignment was for me to get to know everything about Dr. House's team... and not to believe anything any of them told me.
Dr. Robert Chase : I'm... not a neurosurgeon?
Dr. Robert Chase : Cuddy's assistant decided to use his own brain. Who put that idiot idea into his head?
Dr. Gregory House : Perhaps you could follow the same advice.
Dr. Robert Chase : He notified DPH that there's no neurosurgeon on the premises. Said he legally had to, which he legally had to.
Dr. Gregory House : Sounds like you got the situation under control.
Dr. Robert Chase : No. I don't. You know I don't. When DPH shows up, they're gonna shut down our E.R. This can't be fixed. It is what it is, House.
Dr. Gregory House : Great. I've got every faith in your ability to solve the problem.
Dr. Gregory House : No! He's like a stray... he'll eat everything, shed all over the place, and crap on the floor... Hi. This is Gregory House. I can't take your call at the moment. Please leave a message. If this is Wilson, I'm fine, not suicidal, not on drugs, coping very well with the loss of my last patient. So feel free to go about your day without worry. Beep!
Dr. James Wilson :House. You can't just not show up to work. What's Cuddy gonna say?
Dr. Gregory House : If this is still Wilson... she gave me the day off. And tomorrow. Okay, maybe not tomorrow. But today. I'm fine. Now, go away. Beep!
Dr. Remy Hadley : You're pretty miserable, aren't you? Would you be willing to take a... fairly risky drug if it would make it all go away?
Dr. Robert Chase : Have you read the list of side effects on those drugs? We could crash his BP.
Dr. Remy Hadley : I haven't heard a thump, so I assume he's still quietly puking.
Dr. Robert Chase : We could be making him worse.
Dr. Remy Hadley : Bigger picture — we're making the hospital better. We can test for whatever you want to test him for once he's stable enough to get back to the hospital. Now, stop being a girl and move. So you gonna ask me about this Huntington's trial, and by ask, I mean give me your opinion?
Dr. Robert Chase : No. There is one thing, though. Will you have sex with me?
Dr. Remy Hadley : What?
Dr. Robert Chase : Well, this trial means you're leaving right away. I was playing a long game. Deadlines have been moved up.
Dr. James Wilson :You do seem okay. You want me to stick around? I could do my usual thing of pretending I like watching monster truck rallies, if that would make you feel better.
Dr. James Wilson :House... you could have died. You had a patient who did die in your arms. You shouldn't be alone.
Dr. Gregory House : I know. That's why I called a hooker. Now, go away. 'Cause... you'll be extra.
Dr. James Wilson :Are you really okay?
Dr. Gregory House : Are you gonna break in again? You checked my pulse. You checked my pupils. I'll mail you the urine sample.
Dr. Remy Hadley : Yadda, yadda. You don't think I should do it. Message heard.
Dr. Chris Taub : No. I approve. Living fast and dying young is crap. If you have a chance to get better... I say good for you.
Dr. Robert Chase : You do know we still have a sick patient here. Right? He's the guy sitting right behind you, taking off his clothes again.
Dr. Richardson : Not exactly stuck... I snuck out... Freedom is my birthright!
Dr. Remy Hadley : Did you eat any roe? Little tiny eggs?
Dr. Richardson : Nummy!
Dr. Remy Hadley : Toad eggs will cause nausea, and they can get you high. If I'm right, the antidote is fast-acting. If we can get him to keep his clothes on long enough, he can pass as a functioning neurosurgeon.
Dr. Gregory House : It's all there. All you gotta do is click confirm, and we're eating croissant and being insulted by stinky people this time tomorrow. Don't worry. I used Wilson's credit card.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : I can't.
Dr. Gregory House : I'm kidding. I used your credit card.
Dr. Gregory House : The hospital does not need your body. I do.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : So does my daughter.
Dr. Gregory House : Well, she can come too. Or to grandmother's house she can go.
Dr. Richardson : What if it doesn't work? What if I stay this way forever?
Dr. Remy Hadley : The antidote works quickly. If we're right, you should be back to your old self in no time.
Dr. Richardson : My old self was boring. Can't we keep the new self?
Dr. Remy Hadley : Just lay down, and stop unbuttoning.
Dr. Eric Foreman : Do you have anyone going with you to Rome?
Dr. Remy Hadley : Is that your passive-aggressive way of asking me if I'm seeing somebody else?
Dr. Eric Foreman : I hope you are. I mean... I hope you have someone with you. If I'm scared about this, I can't imagine how you must feel. You shouldn't be alone. If you want... I could fly over for a few days. Friends.
Dr. Remy Hadley : I appreciate that, but I think I'll be okay. I guess we took the long way around to being friends, huh?
Dr. Richardson : I guess we all did.
Dr. Gregory House : No. But I can see the past. And you're gonna remember all the horrible things I've done, and you're gonna try to convince yourself that I've changed. And I'm gonna start doing those horrible things again, because I haven't changed. Then you'll realize that... I'm an insane choice for someone who has a kid. And from there, it's a short step to the inevitable conclusion that all of this... was a mistake. Tell me any of that isn't true.
Dr. Robert Chase : Speaking of which... Earlier today I asked you about... having sex. You gave me a look that almost certainly could only mean no. However, on the other hand, I'd be remiss if I... didn't follow up and confirm. See? It's the same look. So if it didn't mean no the first time, then...
Dr. Remy Hadley : No. No. No, no. No.
Dr. Robert Chase : Okay. No pressure.
Dr. Remy Hadley : Does that method ever work?
Dr. Robert Chase : At least once.
Dr. Gregory House : I've done horrible things to you. And I'll do horrible things again to you. But because of one stupid moment with a dying girl and a pile of rubble... you think I can change. Tell me where I'm wrong.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : I don't want you to change. I know you're screwed up. I know you are always gonna be screwed up. But you're the most incredible man I've ever known. You are always gonna be... the most incredible man I have ever known. So unless you're breaking up with me, I am going home now.
Dr. Remy Hadley : I haven't found the right one yet.
Dr. Robert Chase : Oh. I–I thought maybe it was because you were asking for a leave of absence and wouldn't have time to see a case through.
Dr. Chris Taub : I didn't say anything.
Dr. Robert Chase : He didn't...I saw an envelope on House's desk with your name on it, so naturally, I... steamed it open.
Dr. Eric Foreman : What's wrong with you? You steam an envelope to keep it secret.
Dr. Eric Foreman : Which is why I just ripped it. You gonna tell us where you're going?
Dr. Remy Hadley : Sure sounds like a no.
Dr. Gregory House : This is important. Right now, we are more important than what's going on at the hospital. So...I say we turn off our phones and... give the morning to us.
Dr. Gregory House : I am going to make you a magical bath. It will have bubbles and eastern spices and blue diamonds and green clovers... transformative powers. But… I must have solitude to focus my creative energies.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Don't do this. Why do you have to analyze things to death? Why can't you just... let it be nice?
Dr. Gregory House : If an EMT calls in with a brain or spinal trauma, just divert them to the nearest hospital. All you gotta do is stand around and keep the E.R. open. It's an administrative problem, not a medical one.
Dr. Robert Chase : House, where the hell are you?
Dr. Gregory House : Great. Glad you're on it... All systems go!
Dr. Eric Foreman : Why are you going to Rome? I found the flight information in your locker.
Dr. Remy Hadley : I love how everyone thinks it's so quaint and childlike of me to expect a modicum of privacy around here.
Dr. Eric Foreman : Your flight's tomorrow. What's so urgent in Rome?
Dr. Remy Hadley : I hear they want to tear down the Coliseum to build a karaoke bar.
Dr. Remy Hadley : You read my note. You go through my locker. And then you decide you want to round it off by lecturing me on my life choices?
Dr. Gregory House : Well, last night was emotional for you. We both lost that patient. We watched people die. I came back here and I went for the Vicodin, and you... dumped your fiancé and you came here.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Which I don't regret.
Dr. Gregory House : I'm not saying you do. I'm just saying it was an impulsive move.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : The secret bath is... burning my lady parts.
Dr. Gregory House : How do you think my anus feels? Burning means it's working.
Alex : Dr. Cuddy's first assignment was for me to get to know everything about Dr. House's team... and not to believe anything any of them told me.
Dr. Robert Chase : I'm... not a neurosurgeon?
Dr. Robert Chase : Cuddy's assistant decided to use his own brain. Who put that idiot idea into his head?
Dr. Gregory House : Perhaps you could follow the same advice.
Dr. Robert Chase : He notified DPH that there's no neurosurgeon on the premises. Said he legally had to, which he legally had to.
Dr. Gregory House : Sounds like you got the situation under control.
Dr. Robert Chase : No. I don't. You know I don't. When DPH shows up, they're gonna shut down our E.R. This can't be fixed. It is what it is, House.
Dr. Gregory House : Great. I've got every faith in your ability to solve the problem.
Dr. Gregory House : No! He's like a stray... he'll eat everything, shed all over the place, and crap on the floor... Hi. This is Gregory House. I can't take your call at the moment. Please leave a message. If this is Wilson, I'm fine, not suicidal, not on drugs, coping very well with the loss of my last patient. So feel free to go about your day without worry. Beep!
Dr. James Wilson :House. You can't just not show up to work. What's Cuddy gonna say?
Dr. Gregory House : If this is still Wilson... she gave me the day off. And tomorrow. Okay, maybe not tomorrow. But today. I'm fine. Now, go away. Beep!
Dr. Remy Hadley : You're pretty miserable, aren't you? Would you be willing to take a... fairly risky drug if it would make it all go away?
Dr. Robert Chase : Have you read the list of side effects on those drugs? We could crash his BP.
Dr. Remy Hadley : I haven't heard a thump, so I assume he's still quietly puking.
Dr. Robert Chase : We could be making him worse.
Dr. Remy Hadley : Bigger picture — we're making the hospital better. We can test for whatever you want to test him for once he's stable enough to get back to the hospital. Now, stop being a girl and move. So you gonna ask me about this Huntington's trial, and by ask, I mean give me your opinion?
Dr. Robert Chase : No. There is one thing, though. Will you have sex with me?
Dr. Remy Hadley : What?
Dr. Robert Chase : Well, this trial means you're leaving right away. I was playing a long game. Deadlines have been moved up.
Dr. James Wilson :You do seem okay. You want me to stick around? I could do my usual thing of pretending I like watching monster truck rallies, if that would make you feel better.
Dr. James Wilson :House... you could have died. You had a patient who did die in your arms. You shouldn't be alone.
Dr. Gregory House : I know. That's why I called a hooker. Now, go away. 'Cause... you'll be extra.
Dr. James Wilson :Are you really okay?
Dr. Gregory House : Are you gonna break in again? You checked my pulse. You checked my pupils. I'll mail you the urine sample.
Dr. Remy Hadley : Yadda, yadda. You don't think I should do it. Message heard.
Dr. Chris Taub : No. I approve. Living fast and dying young is crap. If you have a chance to get better... I say good for you.
Dr. Robert Chase : You do know we still have a sick patient here. Right? He's the guy sitting right behind you, taking off his clothes again.
Dr. Richardson : Not exactly stuck... I snuck out... Freedom is my birthright!
Dr. Remy Hadley : Did you eat any roe? Little tiny eggs?
Dr. Richardson : Nummy!
Dr. Remy Hadley : Toad eggs will cause nausea, and they can get you high. If I'm right, the antidote is fast-acting. If we can get him to keep his clothes on long enough, he can pass as a functioning neurosurgeon.
Dr. Gregory House : It's all there. All you gotta do is click confirm, and we're eating croissant and being insulted by stinky people this time tomorrow. Don't worry. I used Wilson's credit card.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : I can't.
Dr. Gregory House : I'm kidding. I used your credit card.
Dr. Gregory House : The hospital does not need your body. I do.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : So does my daughter.
Dr. Gregory House : Well, she can come too. Or to grandmother's house she can go.
Dr. Richardson : What if it doesn't work? What if I stay this way forever?
Dr. Remy Hadley : The antidote works quickly. If we're right, you should be back to your old self in no time.
Dr. Richardson : My old self was boring. Can't we keep the new self?
Dr. Remy Hadley : Just lay down, and stop unbuttoning.
Dr. Eric Foreman : Do you have anyone going with you to Rome?
Dr. Remy Hadley : Is that your passive-aggressive way of asking me if I'm seeing somebody else?
Dr. Eric Foreman : I hope you are. I mean... I hope you have someone with you. If I'm scared about this, I can't imagine how you must feel. You shouldn't be alone. If you want... I could fly over for a few days. Friends.
Dr. Remy Hadley : I appreciate that, but I think I'll be okay. I guess we took the long way around to being friends, huh?
Dr. Richardson : I guess we all did.
Dr. Gregory House : No. But I can see the past. And you're gonna remember all the horrible things I've done, and you're gonna try to convince yourself that I've changed. And I'm gonna start doing those horrible things again, because I haven't changed. Then you'll realize that... I'm an insane choice for someone who has a kid.

It took a long while. But at last, we got another rare smile for a split-second:
And we continue to wait for more of these moments. :)

Newborn Filipinos in Singapore... Now what?
Being in another country, Filipinos should take note of the things that must be done to fix the papers of their newborns. Particularly in this country, you should try to accomplish the to-do list so you want have to cram it all on the last few days.
Remember, once the baby is born, your baby has a 42-day Social Visit Pass to stay in Singapore. You need to get it extended or have a valid pass (PR, dependent, etc.) before the 42-day limit expires.
The child's mother will most likely not be able to do this -- or rather would not be able to do anything at this point -- so this is especially for dads out there.
Before you continue, please note that the information below is true as of the first week of September 2010 -- the week when we applied for this as well. Some of the requirements and/or steps below may -- or probably will -- change later on. So please don't complain to me if the information below is no longer true; let me know the details of the changes and I'll change this accordingly.
Anyway, first things first. Once the baby is born, you have to file his/her birth registration right away.
Birth Registration
As per Singapore Law, you have 14 days to register the baby's birth to ICA. This is different from the 42-day limit stated above. Birth registration should be done within 14 days. The immigration status (i.e. Social Visit, Singapore PR, Dependent Pass, etc.) should be done within 42 days.
There are a few things you need to prepare in order to file the baby's Birth Registration:
After you have successfully registered, you should get the following:
Now before you can get to ICA to apply for your child's PR, Dependent Pass, or whatever, he/she needs a valid travel document, i.e., a passport. So our next step is to get...
Philippine Passport
The actual processing is fast. In our case, we finished within 40 minutes -- includes submission of forms, picture-taking, and payments. Of course, in order to achieve that, we had to get an early queue number. Meaning you have to be at the Philippine Embassy before it opens at 9:00 AM. There's just too many people applying for the new passport.
Also, as of this writing, the babies are required to be physically present in the embassy, as their photographs will be taken there as well.
Just some tips that should help:
So what documents do you need exactly? Here's the list:
After the initial submission of the paperwork on Window 6, everything should go on smoothly. The digital passport photo will be taken at the room beside Window 1. After that, you will be provided a letter to be given to ICA (details below). Then, it's off to Window 9 for payment.
You should end up with the following:
Extension of the 42-Day Limit
Due to the 6 weeks required processing time for your baby's passport, you can apply for an extension of his/her Social Visit Pass. This should give you some more breathing room to process everything.
Here's what you need:
This is as far as we have gone, so far. I'll do another post once we have the passport and applied for the passes in October.
::UPDATE::
Got some new updates, but they're quite long. So, please check my next post on this topic here. For the complete list of posts on this series, please check here.

There are a few things you need to prepare in order to file the baby's Birth Registration:
- Identity card (NRIC, FIN, E-Pass, etc) of both parents;
- Original Copy of the Marriage Certificate, if applicable;
- Notification of Live-Birth - this is the Red duplicate form you get from the hospital/nurse station;
- Registration of Birth Form - to be filled up by YOU; most of the details should be found in all of the three (3) above documents;
- Fee. I forgot exactly how much I paid, but should not exceed SGD 50: ICA fee of SGD 18 + hospital administrative fee, if you registered at one of the hospitals below.
- East Shore Hospital
- Gleneagles Hospital
- Kandang Kerbau Women's and Children's Hospital
- Mount Alvernia Hospital
- Mount Elizabeth Hospital
- National University Hospital
- Raffles Hospital
- Singapore General Hospital
- Thomson Medical Centre
After you have successfully registered, you should get the following:
- Notification of Live Birth - updated with the Birth Registration Number;
- Certificate of Registration of Birth (laminated);
- Disembarkation Card (aka White Card) - usually attached with a notice from ICA "Regularisation of the Immigration Status of a Foreign Child Born in Singapore".
Now before you can get to ICA to apply for your child's PR, Dependent Pass, or whatever, he/she needs a valid travel document, i.e., a passport. So our next step is to get...
Philippine Passport
The actual processing is fast. In our case, we finished within 40 minutes -- includes submission of forms, picture-taking, and payments. Of course, in order to achieve that, we had to get an early queue number. Meaning you have to be at the Philippine Embassy before it opens at 9:00 AM. There's just too many people applying for the new passport.
Also, as of this writing, the babies are required to be physically present in the embassy, as their photographs will be taken there as well.
Just some tips that should help:
- Complete all forms and photocopy the required number of copies beforehand. Saves time and money. (Not sure how much the photocopier in the embassy is charging, but I bet it's slightly higher than usual.) Check out the list below.
- Avoid going there on Thursday and Sunday (the end and start of week, respectively) as well as days immediately before and after a public holiday/long weekend. There's even more people there!
- One person (usually the dad) has to be there really early. The baby can arrive later at 9:00 AM when the embassy officially opens. I was there at 7:15, but there was already a queue! Luckily, I was number 4. Within the next half hour or so, there were 10 people behind me.
- Prepare for a long wait. It's up to you how to deal with long waiting times (around 2 hours). Bring something to read, something to play, something to listen to, or something to eat, whatever to keep you sane while you're waiting. The words "painfully slow" come to mind, so watch out! (Of course, if you're happy with just the chit-chats and gossips, just talk with the people in the queue.)
- Once inside, while you process the papers outside, the baby can stay inside the air-conditioned halls of the embassy.
- The windows to look out for are Window 6 (where you submit everything), Window 1 (where the baby's photos are taken), and Window 9 (where you pay). Best to know where they are, as it can be very chaotic when the waiting area is filled up with tons of people.
So what documents do you need exactly? Here's the list:
- Passport Application Form - get form from the Philippine Embassy website;
- Report of Birth - get form from the Philippine Embassy website; submit the form along with 5 photocopies;
- Certificate of Registration of Birth - original for show, 5 photocopies for submission;
- Passports of both parents - original for show, 5 photocopies (of the data pages) for submission;
- Marriage Certificate of parents - original for show, 5 photocopies for submission, if applicable;
After the initial submission of the paperwork on Window 6, everything should go on smoothly. The digital passport photo will be taken at the room beside Window 1. After that, you will be provided a letter to be given to ICA (details below). Then, it's off to Window 9 for payment.
You should end up with the following:
- Claim stub for the passport. This should also serve as your official receipt with the breakdown of fees. Take note of the Collection Date (approximately 6 weeks from the date of application).
- Certification from Philippine Embassy regarding the Passport processing - as the 6 weeks will most likely eat up the 42-day limit, you will need to submit this to extend your baby's stay in Singapore.
Extension of the 42-Day Limit
Due to the 6 weeks required processing time for your baby's passport, you can apply for an extension of his/her Social Visit Pass. This should give you some more breathing room to process everything.
Here's what you need:
- Certification from Philippine Embassy regarding the Passport processing. See previous section.
- Disembarkation Card (aka white DE Card);
- Certificate of Registration of Birth - original for show, 1 photocopy for submission;
- Passports of both parents - original for show, 1 photocopy (for the data pages) for submission;
- Marriage Certificate of parents - original for show, 1 photocopy for submission;
This is as far as we have gone, so far. I'll do another post once we have the passport and applied for the passes in October.
::UPDATE::
Got some new updates, but they're quite long. So, please check my next post on this topic here. For the complete list of posts on this series, please check here.

Riley says Hello World!
At 8:20 AM on 28th of August, 2010, our nine-month journey concludes with the birth of our son, Riley.
Here's some pictures taken within the first few hours of Riley saying "Hello" to the world. :)
And now we embark on a new journey: parenthood. While that may seem scary, I'm looking forward to it. With this little bundle of joy with us, I can't wait! :D
Here's some pictures taken within the first few hours of Riley saying "Hello" to the world. :)

And now we embark on a new journey: parenthood. While that may seem scary, I'm looking forward to it. With this little bundle of joy with us, I can't wait! :D
