Registering Baby's Name

Kenneth went to register baby's birth cert on Monday. Early morning, he asked me to write down the Chinese name as well as the English one. Blur blur, at 6am+ I spelt baby's name wrongly!! We wanted to name baby KAYLEB because the 1st 3 letters are the same as Kayden's. Instead, I wrote KALEB!! without the "Y"!!!!! And this Kenneth, he knows that we are suppose to spell the name with a Y but instead, he thought I wanted it without the Y and he proceeded with the paper work + baby bonus thingy.

Came back, I saw the birth cert, spotted the mistake. He said amendments can be done, only need to pay $60. So the next day, we went to ICA, thinking to add in the Y into the Christian name. After checking through, we were told we need to inform MCYS about the change as they had already submitted the baby bonus form to MCYS. Anyway, after much "discussion", we decided not to add in the Y... just leave the name as it is (KALEB) because it is too much a hassle to inform MCYS.

So... baby's name will be KALEB, Soh Wei Yang... =)
