It has been a zombie week as Elva still wake up in the middle of the night for milk. I think it might be the grow sprut that is happening to her.

Elva is 194 days old

Elva is 194 days (27 weeks) old.

It was a tiring week as Elva was trying to adjust from stage one formula milk to stage two formula milk and she woke up a lot of time in the middle of the time which make us like zombies.

Finally got back another $200 from Devon whom borrowed $500 from me in July 2012. He returned us $100 in March so now left $200 more. I will not be lending people money anymore again since this incident, unless it is a small amount (less than $100) or immediate family.

I went to meet James for dinner. We talked about work and he told me that I am really underpaid for the work that I did. He really make me think about my future ahead. That why I want to keep upgrading, going for courses to improve myself. Jerlyn and Elva is my focus now to provide a better life in the future.

We went to IMM to clear our captialand mall vouchers and to claim for my $100 claim. So I went to G2000 to buy office wear while Jerlyn went to Giant to buy her long waited luggage.

Elva is 180 days old

Elva is 180 days (25 Weeks) old.

We went to Hello Kitty Town with Boon and Jiamin plus Claire and it was quite near to Tuas second link actually. We thought it would be at least 1 hour drive. The Legoland is nearer to Hello Kitty Town. But it was not what Jerlyn has expected a big town that can walk like Disneyland. In fact, it was just a one storey in door building and not much to walk.

We went to Johor Premium Outlet too and it was that cheaper either. It is still the best to shop in the states where it is still cheaper. But if spend the money to fly to the states, the prices would be the same.

We went to Taman Bukit Indah Yee Shen medical hall to buy formula milk and diapers. It was cheaper than in Singapore. We might go there again to stock up for Elva.
