Elva is 108 days old

Elva is 108 days (15 weeks) old.

We celebrated Elva's grandpa birthday during the weekday dinner at one of the zi char stall. Elva could not eat the birthday cake as she is still young.

We went to IMM for shopping and Jerlyn bought new jacket and socks for Elva.

I still got tons of work to do!! Bringing home the work but not appropriate, best if I could get a laptop but can't as the support is not there. It's difficult to work when there is no support.

Elva is 101 days old

Elva is 101 days (14 weeks) old.

I have finally finished my exams, but did not fare well for the both exams. I hope I can get a pass for both my modules. There is one more module to go before I finish my degree course. Studying while working is tough, plus one baby is more tougher. I hope I don't need to study so long again, the most I will go for those short courses.

I had my 3rd renewal audit this year. First was Singapore Quality Class (SQC), next was ISO 14001 (EMS) and now ISO 9001 (QMS). I don't have much knowledge on this but the auditor was very good and guide me along. The next one will be the OHSAS 18001 (OHS) Audit.

We went to register Elva to the Infant Care centre near Jerlyn's Mum stall. We could not find any slots in Clementi, so got to look further ahead. We plan to send Elva on start on May before Jerlyn start work. There were so many forms to fill up, but its good as there is a system in the Infant Care for Elva. After that we went to Immigration and Customs Authority (ICA) to collect Elva's passport to get ready for her first trip overseas.

Elva is 94 days old

Elva is 94 (13 weeks) old.

I went to work for one day to clear all the audit report and all the stuff before I go on leave for my exam.

I took my first exam and really throw away marks that I had read and wrote it down. I forgot in the last minute when I was inside the exam hall. I was very angry with myself and now I could only pray for a passing mark will do. Please let me pass!!

We help Elva to open her CDA Extra and Mighty Saver account when we went to OCBC and activate. Now we can put money in her account.

We went down to Toa Payoh to repair our Philips kettle and sterilizer and also settle our Sept holiday trip to Bangkok Thailand. We will be going to Bangkok in Sept 3-6 with Elva. This will be her first overseas trip. Now we need to plan for our Taiwan trip.

We bought a new baby cot and bedding set for $502.90 for for Elva. We only paid $22.90 as the rest was using the vouchers that was given to Elva during her baby shower. Jerlyn wanted to buy for her as she felt that Elva did not have any new items of her own as most of the things were pass down by friends and relatives.

We met MF and his family for lunch at Clementi Mall Swensens. It was a long time since I met MF and his family. The last time was during Elva's baby shower.

Elva is 87 days old

Elva is 87 days (12 weeks) old.

We went to collect Elva's passport photo and applied passport for her to get ready for her first overseas trip.

I started the 5 days intensive Internal Audit on my workplace. It was really tiring, there were so many things to check. Being an auditor is not that easy, but I won't give up as I want to achieve my target to be an auditor in the future.

Jerlyn went to do dental and also rebond her hair while I stayed at home and look after Elva.

Next week I will be having my exams and now I still got to finish up my Audit report by Monday.
