It is the last few days of 2021, so with Grammarly, I am updating my Blogspot again. It seems fun and clearer to write with AI assisting me on a Lenovo laptop all by myself in my room during a video call with Jayden and jenny. They are now in Hong Kong, and they will be flying back to Singapore on the 2nd of Jan 2021. So that will be a few days from now, and I am looking forward to seeing them soon.
Ok back to the title, 2021- I won't say she is exciting, but I would say there is a lot of luck. Lucky to be in excellent health this year, and it has been a challenging one for my career path.
Good things that happened in 2021, the pros:
- We went on the cruise, 4 days 3 nights, for Jayden's birthday, or more like for us to get away from Singapore due to the lockdown that time. Less restriction and less crowded. There were performances, food, a jacuzzi, and away from work on the cruise. The video that I have made gathered 3.7k views on youtube now. Looking forward to creating more videos
- We went island hopping and had fun under the sun with friends and stuff with all the restrictions. Again, it is good that we were slowly getting our freedom back from lockdown. We are getting more comfortable living with covid nowadays, and it seems like it is going to be endemic
- Good that we stay invested throughout 2021, property and stocks. Would like to stick through my principles all the way. Own a piece of a good business is my mantra, and invest goodly
- I started to reduce my diet coke intake
- resumed my badminton session
- to find my identity. I need to be very good at one thing, so people will know who I am.
- A book that I am reading is atomic Habits by James Clear. I just started off a few pages. Easy to read and promise to keep.
- Glad that my Kindle is revived
- connect with some of my long lost friends. Some of them more than 2 years
- I joined BRMC Methodist church
- Keeping my lemon water routine which I am very grateful for
- Having Spinach soup for my staple lunch
- Keeping up with sufficient sleep and feeling less stressed at work. Connecting with friends is important
- Glad that I met some of them: Serene, chai ann, CCY, ken, Ocean, Choi mei, Alvin and Wilson
- all. Good to have them to chat/discuss with
- Started off Yoga session with Frannie
- Connected back with my Younger brother
- Remember that I regretted not spending the money while in the UK. I guess my time on earth should be well spent too. Need to create a system so I can live comfortably
- Jacob is born safely, jenny is all good.
- Created a mini ritual or a system to improve my life significantly
- Moved to a new place
Cons
- Gained weight due to a lack of self-discipline and couldn't blame anyone for watching Netflix. I need to slow down in watching that tv.
- Overworked- not balanced. I will need to find a way out of this rat race.
- Couldn't visit my parents in Sabah
- Spent more on living expenses
