Stock up

Few colleague of daddy were asking whether we have started packing? Well, the answer is "NO". We haven't started any move except getting Ethan's passport ready.

But lately, mother tried to stock up some of the necessity stuffs for Ethan. Things like diaper, whenever there are cheap sales. Mother will buy it as she foreseen Ethan will still be wearing diaper especially during sleep and going outside. Well lots of diaper of course means lots of money needed to be spent too.

For medicine, mother asked grandpa to request the medicine for mosquito bite from the government's clinic. Hope that new place does not have so many mosquitos.


The most important thing to prepare is formula milk, we bought 1 dozen of 1.8kg PediaSure. Mother always asked grandpa to buy the milk for Ethan as the price is cheaper. Mother had done some homework getting the price of PediaSure in Penang supermarkets like Tesco, Giant and Sunshine etc. The price is higher compared to the one selling in mother's hometown. Well, initially the price was MYR102 per tin. Mother asked whether can she use the credit card as she ordered 1dozen. However seems like it cannot be done as the shopkeeper said that credit card company charges her certain %. Ended up she cannot selling mummy cheaper if mummy insisted to use credit card. So in the end mummy only paid MYR101 per tin as she managed to get MYR1 discount per tin. Besides this mummy got another gift by buying the milk. The shop owner also informed that later PediaSure will increase its price again by an increase of another MYR6per tin. Wah! Seems like inflation is really terrible. Mummy doesn't know whether other places can get cheaper than this price? If can, please let me know.

Now, mother's task is to track how many days it take Ethan to finish one tin of PediaSure. If the consumption of two boxes of 12 tins is fast and not enough then mother has to buy more. We really spend a lot of money on this guy.
