Connected with my colleagues for badminton and left work at 5. Xing brought us to toa payoh south community centre; we started around 1735hrs
Anderson is good.
I sweated a lot and had lots of fun.
After our badminton session, we went for a meal together in Lorong eight markets, a Thai kitchen.
Reached home around 2300hrs ++
Had a good sleep.
I was off to hang out with aunty Jessica; she shared that
1. Gabriel had a salary cut for one year of 80%
2. Joanna was made redundant because of covid
3. Private hospital for one month costs about 100k++
4. Gabriel sold his car
We spent about 80++ for a meal of 3. Jayden enjoyed the meal. Too bad it is a bit too late for him. She brought us three mangos
After the meal, we went home, and Jayden went to his Chinese class while I went to vivocity to meet Jenny and Friends
After our meal at brozteit, we watched a private screening in GV, the revolution of our times. Tear-jerking movie.
After our meal we went to eat tapas club, which is bad
I tend to have a habit of writing on a bus.
I worked through the weekend last week, took an off today(Monday)
Started my day by sending Jayden to school, had breakfast with Jacob at United square
Lunch with aunty Jessica in the parkway parade.
After lunch, I took a nap and was on my way to vivo city to meet Jenny
After work, the timing was a bit awkward, and work was ongoing. Decided to join my colleagues for a hot pot in broadway plaza. Anderson and hong kiat
It was fun to eat with them and connect, although tired. We talked about things outside of work. Connecting with them is pretty fun.
Jenny called around 2230hrs; I took a bus and left. We connected over the phone. She is concerned with her job applications and feels frustrated.
We conversed for a good 20mins like a couple. She wanted someone to listen to her thoughts.
I was too tired when I reached home and went to bed straight after my shower.
Confront your fear, face it and embrace it. Left home early and connected with jayden and Jenny at night
I met Loi in the afternoon to collect my milk powder, it is always nice to chat with him
Reading books and writing blogs I bus
To be grateful to the people around me.
Give thanks to people and be a great receiver
Connect with people and ask for help
Left work early yesterday around 2000hrs, so I can spend more time with jayden, connect with him and read him his story.
I am so lucky to have him, I have also connected with my mum whenever I got time.
There are many things to sort out for us to fly back.
And am too tired to hold on. Will schedule a time to come back to clear these things mid week.
Started the Sunday with our ritual, rugby in the morning. Breakfast in United square. Morning Jenny had a difficult conversation with Sally, every time Jenny confronted Sally, she would divert all her unhappiness to me. Raise her voice toward Jayden and me.
Up to a moment, where I couldn't take it anymore I kicked Jayden. Very ashamed with what we did.
I think is too much for a 5 year old to be such a collateral damage of this relationship.
Good Friday..... Working.
Took a long lunch break yesterday and went for a foot long subway in AMK.
After my meal, I went for an 8 dollar haircut yesterday and paid $70. Will need to remind myself to be firm with all these money things. I bought Joby sigh CDC vouchers
After work, I booked a grab, around $17, to Lucy's place in Teluk blangah.
Reached there around 1800hrs and went to buy some beers with Jenny.
Met some new friends from Hong Kong,
Prepared Takoyaki for their guest and played mahjong. They liked Jayden too. Lucy, grace, lucy's friend, David, Jessie, Allen, Anita,
Left work early yesterday 1930hrs
Took a bus and reached home around 2030hrz. Jenny waited for me for dinner, and we bbq chicken skewers together. Had beer.
What a beautiful night
Left work around 2300++, I am giving free time to the office. CG left.
Got my kobo, experience seems to be lagging
Not the best product.
Needed to key in the password twice. Wasted my precious time. Need to have enough rest
Good to write things down and claimed my 10k from Malaysia government.
Connect with shaun for my IC.
Next step is to convert my Singapore driving license
Worked until 11 pm yesterday, skipped my dinner, tired and stressed.
Took a good sleep, and let's start again today
Dinner with my colleagues. Farewell to my boss CG in Royal Square hai di lao.
Reached home around 2200hrs, connected with Jenny for a bit and went to bed. We chatted for a bit about work, where she is frustrated with her subordinate quality of work. No thinking process and waiting to be spoon-fed.
I bought kobo and also google speakers so Jayden can ask questions. He needs to have a place to ask questions. He will grow up with all these life skills.
I have also booked a place for badminton for my colleagues on the 27th of April
Connected with my parents.
Place, Last Friday morning, we took a bus to newton MRT, MRT from Newton to woodlands, 911 from woodlands to CIQ, and a shuttle bus to Malaysia.
We had burger king for breakfast and to orientate ourselves. 1st stop, paradigm. In a huge mall, we started with a one hour massage, which cost us about 90 ringgit each. Massage is good, and just that parlours bed is a bit smelly. It was one of the massage parlours in paradigm, and I couldn't recall its name.
After our massage, we shopped around the place, and I got my cables and stuff. Fast charging is the keyword.
After our brief shopping, we took a grab to JWC want coffee factory 30 for our late lunch.
We ordered pulled lamb and salad with salmon. They offered us to taste their house coffee from costa Rica.
We ordered a salted caramel cold brew latte. Not too bad, but I am no coffee expert to judge. Jenny mentioned their salted caramel flavour isn't strong enough. After our late lunch, we took a walk to another cafe for dessert, about a 10-minute walk on Google. We notice that the walkability score in JB is near 0. A ten-minute walk, which is supposed to be accessible in Sg, is like a stressful walk. After that walk, we decided to take grab wherever we went.
Enjoyed our tiramisu cake in people and places and took a take to AEON mall. Great place to shop for milk powder. We had a quick dinner in a Korean restaurant and bought the milk powder.
We left JB around 2010hrs, and we reached Singapore home around 2130hrs. Went to sleep a happy person. We also immediately booked our ticket back to KK end of April
Saturday morning
We went to join a volunteering work organised by the neighbourhood committee in Newton. Jayden had a great time picking up litter along the route. After the event, we went to collect a pet transport kit in a posh condo nearby square 2. We then had our late brunch in Kaizen Ramen square 2. After our brunch, we went home, I took a nap, and I went to badminton with ccy in Paya Lebara kovan CC. Two hours of solid badminton with koktien, chaiann, serene and Ccy.
After our badminton, I went to ccy place for a shower. Then we went to the cherki for a birthday dinner. Finally, we are allowed to gather ten pax together. I booked the place and am rather happy about it. We spent like 262 for nine pax. After the dinner, I joined Jenny in the decathlon Singapore lab to get our hiking stuff for our Melbourne trip this coming May.
Sunday morning, bI rought jayden to a rugby session together with Jacob. Connected with my mum. Did a yoga session, swam for one hour with jayden and had dim sum for brunch. After our brunch, I took a long nap.
After our nap, we went to vivocity to return books and had tam Zhai Sam Gor. Three of us shared one bowl of noodles. Hehe
After our meal, we went to return our books and go back home. Settled down for a new week.
I left work late and connected with my parents in the afternoon. Drank more water. Thanks to Jenny for getting me a huge Coleman. Less water runs to the pantry.
Couldn't sleep well yesterday, probably due to the coffee. My heart couldn't take so much coffee anymore.
I am glad I found Libby; it makes me read more on my device instead of video and stuff.
Took my supplements, read the intention card, and connected with Jayden and Jacob. It is my routine every day now.
Left work around 2100hrs, reached novena around 2130hrs. Met Jenny at the traffic light of Thomson road
With journaling, I started to appreciate the clarity we require in life. There is a possibility that we walked through the entire period of our life without knowing the details.
After catching up with Jenny, we walked together back home.
We chatted and had our dinner together at home; carbonara spaghetti and salad. Love it. I am grateful that Jenny spent time with me.
After that meal, we took a shower, watched a bit of Bridgeton on Netflix and slept. Jenny bought a Coleman for Jayden and me.
Woke up at 0600hrs feeling refreshed and recharged. Spent time with Jenny, Jayden and Jacob. We listened to music from Spotify and danced together with high hopes. Jacob and Jayden love music.
Now I am on the bus to work and I am blogging and reading
I have not rested for the past one and a half weeks. Starting to feel fatigued. Looking for my JB trip this coming Thursday.
Tried herbal drink and ιιΆθ± and stuff to get rid of the heat.
Drank a lot of water to regulate my body, but I am taking a few more toilet breaks.
Work is rather intense, and help is coming.
I am getting one assistant engineer and one intern to support the work. Have to start distributing the work out to my team instead of holding them.
I am grateful we are holding our team very firmly together.
I spent a bit of time with Jenny. She has been very supportive. She takes care of all the family stuff, from enrichment to weekend outings. She also passed me her CDC vouchers 100 for my meals. Grateful for her being so supportive.
She has started to plan for our trip to Australia. My parents have called me less recently. Probably they the busy too.
AUD gained a little bit recently, so we are happy to bring some back to Singapore πΈπ¬ to invest in our kids. I will get some accounts for my kids now
I have also downloaded Libby on my app to read when bored. It is so good to have all these books on my phone. Love it.
I have not touched my M50 for two weeks in a row. Must do some shooting this weekend. I will miss out on so many things if I don't take videos and stuff.
A book that I am currently reading: the most important thing. Progress has been plodding. I started this book in Feb, and I am still reading it now.
headed work around 1700hrs, took the 851 bus, head towards home. Jayden and Jenny came back from a Kieran sister's birthday party. .he brought the pinata back home.
Jayden immediately offered me, sweets, when I reached home.
After taking a shower, we took a bus to the newton's mrt and took down the town line towards the promenade. Then we changed bus 36 towards the marine parade; we wanted to go parkway parade. Jenny organises the trip. I am glad she is very active and always organised these family trips.
We bought bubble teas from LIHO, one early grey, and another one is normal bubble tea, which 3 of us enjoyed very much.
We decided fo eat in the food; Jenny Jenny chose a traditional clay pot rice, while I bought fishball noodles with liver from ah ma ci mian.
Weer our meal, Jenny went to buy her stuff in a shop while I brought Jayden to toys r us. I also bought us 24 herbs, a drink which Jayden enjoyed.
Took a bus and mrt back home, watched bridgeton for a while and slept.
Hi blog, it has been busy but I still manage to squeeze time out to spend time with friends.
After work, reached home around 1900hrs, took a quick dinner and nap.
Get Jayden to sleep and went to Kamins place
Reached there around 2030hrs, kamin and Christ were having dinner with their two friends,Jasmine and trangh. We chit chat for a bit and then started to go into our business
We brought some royce chocolate with liquer.
We started with like mahjong lesson, as both of Kamins friends are not as familiar with the game. They pick up very quickly
After a while, another of kamin friend came, Jesse. She can play better, and she is relatively lucky. Won a few big rounds, after around 2300hrs, as started the deal game. With money. is me, Jenny, Christ and Kamin. We sat opposite, and it was fun. Jenny won 90++ at the end of the night. :)
With journaling it helps me remember stuff more, and I wanted to have more details about that.
Connecting people is the key to success.
Flowing my experience to the younger generation
Leading a team
Yesterday I left work around 2230hrz, reached home took a shower and slept at 0000
Woke up at 0630hrs, connected with Jenny, Jayden and Jacob. Left for work around 0700hrs
Had my supplements,read my intention cards with Jayden , I wish I could have read more stories for Jayden. He is growing up so fast. I am grateful with the state I am in now and I need to take care my body.
