Fifty-seven-year-old local comedian Marcus Chin finally got his wish as his girlfriend Eileen Cheah gave birth to a 2.99kg baby girl two days ago (Aug 18).
Marcus stayed with Eileen throughout the entire process and even personally cut the baby’s umbilical cord. The moment he saw his baby girl Elise, Marcus was moved to tears.
“At my age I should be a grandfather already, yet now I’m a father! At least this is better than having no chance at all!”
Eileen went into labour on the 17th and was admitted into a hospital in Malaysia with Marcus and family by her side. After hours in labour pain, baby Elise was finally out.
Eileen revealed that she insisted on not having anaesthesia to get a taste of what it feels like to be a mother.
“It really hurt a lot and I had to scream; I almost wanted to give up!”
Marcus revealed that he named Elise as such because Eileen’s name also begins with the letter ‘E’. Elise’s Chinese name will be decided by a fengshui master at a later date.
Marcus is also hoping for a second child.
“I hope this daughter can bring along a brother for me. But even if the second child is a daughter it’s ok for us; we just want two children.”
Eileen will be discharged from the hospital today and she will be staying at her own place in Kuala Lumpur to recuperate before moving to their marital home in Johor Bahru.
