Week ended 25/1

19.1 Went to ViOS after work and follow up with a trade the day after.

23.1 Had dinner with Tina and his boyfriend. They are both doctors and were both very humble. We shared about our life in Singapore and they shared theirs as a couple in hongkong and UK. We met in Marche Somerset and they liked the place very much. They were very surprise to see me speak fluent Cantonese also.  It was very fruitful to understand more about life in Hong Kong. They were asking jenny to go back Hong Kong.

Tina is doing her PHD in Cambridge in Medicine and is fully sponsored by Hong Kong while her boyfriend is pratising in Hong Kong. Tina is planning to go back to HK immediately after she got her PHD in medicine.

25.1 Catch up meal with my KK friends in crystal jade palace at Taka. The receptionist missed out my booking, I negotiated with her politely and was given a huge room immediately. We were planning for another gathering after cny. Looking forward to it.

Plan and booked my trip in Perth with caren and also jenny. The accommodation there is very expensive. Decided to squeeze one night with my parents at Caren's place. Thanks to caren for offering a place for us to stay. I guess I saved up a lot of money there.

I am going to start my night shift soon.

Mr Tea and my weekly wrap up.

I met an interesting person at work recently. He is Mr tea. He is my colleague in my company and is working in singapore construction industry for almost 7 years.

He is a knowledgeable person with the industry and is rather smart in his field. He did research from top to bottom and also side way.  He collect all the information from mom, linked in, gebiz, ies, developer,  bca, lta before he secure a job or even to apply for an interview. This guy is very familiar with his work and planning for his future. 

He showed me his cpf account around 100k and some of his bonus he has received from his previous employer for a hdb project. 

He also brought me to singapore pool and bought my first soccer betting in singapore. Although I am not a big fan of betting but I guess it is important to keep a topic with him. Some more I get to enjoy a good meal for my lunch in mbs.

As for my week, it was a long one. I have been working from 8 am to 9pm on a daily basis as I am handling my first task on site. Even on my Saturday. 

After work around 9pm, i get jenny to dress up and join me at marina bay station.  We then walked to mbfc and went up to level 33 for a quick drink and some light bite to catch up for the week. It has been a tough week for us as I have been working late everyday.

On Sunday morning, woke up and did my laundry and ironing. I then prepared some light breakfast before we left our place for dimsum with yuyen at East ocean. The companion was good and it was almost 6 months since we last catch up in bugis thai food.

There were some interesting topic brought up to the table, work, proposal, getting married, having a child and things like that.

We chatted for about 3 hours before we then left the place to shop around in orchard, attend a Japanese property seminar in Carlton hotel and world press photo exhibition at raffles hotel.

We then had some snack in MOS burger at city hall for share and then went back to novena for a proper meal.

After our meal, we went back home and swam in our small pool for about 30 mins before we call it a day.

It was a tiring yet interesting week.

Hopefully next week will be less demanding. 

2014 review

Just to wrap up my 2014. 

Extracted my depacted wisdom tooth

Travelled to a few places: Japan,US,Melacca,Penang,Bangkok, Hong Kong x2,kk x3.

Attended a few property seminar.

Invested properties in overseas.

Changed job. 

Joined gym personal trainer. I believe investing in experience and knowledge.

Moved in together with jenny.

Set long term goal and vision with Miss J.  😊

Brought jenny back to kk.

Maintained a close relationship with my parents and brother. Went back 3 times for a year and called them more often on a weekly basis. 

Assisted in my parents business.  Set up an website.

Assisted my brother into stock market.

Planned and booked a trip for my family to Australia. 

Hit my target return around November. It was a good year for my investment.  However not because of my skill but because it was a bull market. Still got a lot to learn in the future. 

Jenny and I tackled some challenging issues this year.  Raffles incident, property research, investment, travel planning,  goal setting and execution.
