Nadya "Speaker" Zagarodnova

My second grand-daugher Nadya was borne at 6 p.m. on Saturday 11 October. I will nickname her as "Speaker" as this was the same time that I was giving the speech to 1,000 people at Speaker's Corner.

She was 4.5 kg (10 lbs) at birth. This makes her the biggest baby that was borne within my family. She is also the biggest baby delivered by the gynaecologist looking after my daughter Su Ling.

My son-in-law Vitali came from Russia. He teaches in Nanyang Technological University.
