Success journal 869: Xmas weekend

Saturday night- 

 I rushed to orchard to meet Jenny and Jayden for dinner. 

We had dinner in Wisma Atria, while Jenny shopped for her Xmas present. We bought some domestic from Christian Dior 

We then took a bus back home. I continued my work. 

Sunday Xmas eve. 

We woke up late, Jayden missed his class and we had ABIT of hoo-ha in the morning 

Brought Jayden to Muay Thai session, we then have our breakfast in proofer, a bakery in United square. Jenny then joined us, part of my initiatives is to not drink out and save money. 

After our breakfast, we then went back home. I transferred extra 50 for aunty Elly for Xmas.  

I cooked noodles for the family. 

We then wrap presents and wrote cards for our family member. 

Took a short nap, 

We then went to cold storage to buy some stuff for the Xmas gathering Jenny is hosting on Xmas day. 

Jenny and I went to Oyster bank in Great world city for a kid-less date night. Jayden wanted to join so badly. 

The oyster meal was awesome. I left a great review. Been a while since we bond together like that. 

The night was . Great

Monday morning 

I sorted our bills in the morning, guest came around 11am. 

We eat and hang around until 4pm. The guest seems to be enjoying it. 

After they left, we quickly get ready for our 2nd round. We took a car to Kate's place. The kids played so well together with Sheung Sheung and fei fei. 

We left their place around 9pm. All knackered. We had so much fun that night xoxo. 

Success Journal 868: Overeating night after long hours.

Work late, lost all the willpower 

Reward myself with snacks 

Regret 

Eat less than I burn 

Spend less than earn 

Invest the difference 

Efficient with time 

Success Journal 867: Eat less than I burn

Yesterday, I cut my Subway meal into 6inch. Grateful for this part. 

Perhaps my smaller portion and meatless meal are working now. 

And I went for a badminton session from 80 pm to 10 pm. Less on the smash.  More on the cardio and making friends. 

Some like deep dive connections, some like the touch and connections and sharing the news. 

I am grateful that I tapped into this kind of network here. 

Continue to push, changing mindset. 

I am connecting with my kids and reading ten pages a day 

Success Journal 866: life could have so much easier

Yesterday, my family seemed to be very relaxed. Probably because Jenny was not feeling well, so the heat was taken away. 

I got home; Jenny took away a chicken meal for me. 

After my meal, I let Jayden practice his piano. 

After his piano, we read books together. 

We start slowly with good habit 

Success journal 865: A short weekend but grateful

My mother-in-law is going back to HK. My kids miss her dearly, especially Jayden. 

We spent the whole day together 

I get to jog about 4km while sending Jayden to Dancing class. Which I am grateful for, too. 

Have to keep that running altitude. 

I also got to eat less than usual yesterday, except for a can of Coke and the chips at night. Grateful. 

Another good habit that we tried yesterday was the reading part. We brought our books in our bags, and we got to read while we were travelling. 

Success journal 864: Post holiday syndrome.

I am having post holiday syndrome. 

Have to remember what life is like when I am travelling. 

Do what I want

Lost the sense of time, and is the time I am bonding with my family. 

Success journal 863: Spending quality time with Family

Left work around 1930hrs yesterday, reach home around 2000hrs

Had a quick dinner, and accompany Jenny and Jayden for the night. 

Jayden practise on the piano, while I am next to him pushing him to practise. Kiasu parent indeed 

Eat less than I burn 

Spend less than I make 

Invest the difference

Success journal 862: Skipped my meal and back to routine

As usual, every holiday I tend to over eat. I guess this is the one that is killing me. 

I just have to cut down all this rubbish food and go fasting when I travel. At least to skip a few meals or stuff. 

Eat less than I burn 

Spend less than I make

Efficient with my time 

Success journal 861:Catching up with Uni friends

Is all about identity

How I carry myself. Went for a gathering with my Uni friends. Connect with them and we discuss about life in Australia and Singapore 

Starts to relax myself and I did share a few of my stories with them about Jayden and his achievement. 

Nothing much on my career. Which I finds it nice to just spend time together with friends to chat. 

This connections are priceless. 

Success Journal 860: Consistency, learning from others and preparing to buy

Many quality stocks are within my buy price. I am so excited and looking forward to it. 

Before I buy, I just want to have a bit of update from the company and stuff. 

I must spend more time on studying and take this opportunity. Demand is not doing as good. 

I am grateful I managed to get 2 of my other colleagues to join me for badminton in Sengkang. The bonding session and to have fun together is very important. 

It helps with the work too. 

Success journal 859: Pushing my limits

Pushing out the comfort zone 

1 day I will die, so don't give a fuck to things that doesn't deserve any fuck at all. 

I just have to remind myself constantly. 

Use a checklist 

I am grateful that I got a beautiful family around me. Went to my badminton session yesterday, feeling better than ever. 

Success journal 858: planning for my trip

We are going to Australia soon 😀

Was putting in more details to our plan, done by Jenny earlier. 

Mainly is on the meals and fancy restaurant that we can find from Google. 

I am leaving work around 1930hrs yesterday and had my dinner at home. 

Today I also brought my lunch to work.

Less is more 

These mantra are changing and adding more the more I go one.  Less is more less is more less is more 

Success Journal 857: Short, tiring but sweet

Saturday 

I left work at 5pm, went straight to city hall for a quick meal with Jenny and her mum. We have cinnabon. We shared one original and ordered a cup of green tea to share too. 

After our meal, we then went to the voice of Singapore in Capitol for Jayden's 1st piano recital. Before the recital, we did hang around with oliv, Suzie, and Maddy's parents. Jayden enjoy spending time with Maddy. 

The recital performance by Jayden is amazing 😍. I guess he has been practising so much 18mins a day.

After the recital, we went straight back home and rest. 

Sunday

We woke up early for the festival of Nations in turf city. 

Jayden lost his match, and was disappointed. 

We went for a dip in our pool, and Maddy joined us. It was fun. 

After the swim, we then had McDonald's for lunch. It was a bit chaotic as their system was down. 

We went back for a short nap, and Jayden went to ICaNread. 

I chill around at home and we then went 5o Gerda's place for a meal in Telok Kurau for Alexander's birthday dinner. Their new place was relaxing and Jayden had fun with him. Jacob tried to join in too. 

I am grateful for such a wonderful evening. 

Success journal 856: Don't give a f*ck

One day I will die. 

Why do I care so much how others think of me. Keep pushing until things are out and done

Art of talking/singing is important. 

Too much blaming and excuses 

Success journal 855: Mum leaving for KK, demanding work

Life has been very demanding 

A short break like this is indeed very rare 

Work has been very demanding. 

I want to be mindful by putting it in words as reminder to myself. To channel my energy into the right direction 

Success Journal 854: No extra time

I just have to make full use of my time 

Especially while travelling and connecting with people. 

Stepping out of my comfort zone 

Practice practice practice 

My parent is around so I invited aunty Michelle to spend some time here with us. She is staying with us a few days and I am very grateful for it. 

I just have to make use of the time, information 

Have to see the big picture 

Success Journal 853: Drinking with my colleague

Grateful to be able to explore or have a sneak peak into my management working style. I feel like I have to speak up more and challenge people more. 

Perhaps need practise on this matter more. 

Enjoy the conversation and learn the flow 

Success Journal 852: Keeping myself alive

I am grateful that I get to join the badminton community and meet new friends. 

Seems like this is the activity that is keeping me alive. 

I went to MOE Evans, took a new route, bought a takeaway discounted chicken parts from Cold Storage and played badminton for about 2 hours. 

I met new friends and connected with them. 

Yesterday, Michael even bought us a round of drinks. 

Success Journal 851: Weekend all that jazz-once upon a dream, with parent and grand aunty

This is a great weekend because I get to drop my work for two consecutive days. 

Saturday

Started with early morning Saturday, where we got ready and dropped Jayden off at Media Corp theatre. Many dance students and parents were queuing up to send their kids off. 

After dropping Jayden off, I went to have breakfast with Jenny in Chip Bee Gardens, TBB. 

The place is excellent and comfortable apart from the ventilation where the place is filled up with smoke, and hence there goes our apparel. They have quality croissants 🥐, so I can't complain much because they missed their servings. They quickly compensated us with a croissant for free. 

We spent hours in the cafe, and I seldom get to chat deeply with Jenny. She is a gem to spend time with, especially in cafes. 

I am grateful we have this time slot together on Saturday morning. After our cafe, we returned to Mediacorp to attend the show; I arranged for my mum to bring Jacob to the theatre, too. We all managed to go to the theatre, although I bought the wrong ticket. 

We enjoyed the show. Especially watching Jayden dancing on the stage. 

After Jayden's recital, we went to the orchard to meet grand aunty Michelle, had dinner with her and went back home to rest. I am completely knackered. 

Sunday 

Sent Jenny goodbye early morning, packed our things and brought my kids and mother to Mediacorp theatre. Today is Jayden's day two performance. 

After dropping off Jayden, I brought my mum and Jacob to the Botanic Garden. We stopped at Bees Knees for breakfast, and I think my parent didn't fancy that much. 

We did get to spend some time together and chat for a while, which is getting rare nowadays. 

I am grateful for how my parents always share constructive feedback with me. 

After breakfast, we walked around the botanic gardens for a bit, and they went back home for JJ to sleep. 

I then went back to the Mediacorp theatre to watch Jayden perform. 

After Jayden's recital, I returned him to United Square for his ICAN READ. 

I then joined my parent and aunty in Orchard to have tea together. Grateful for this, too. 

After our tea, we went back home to rest. 

Connect with Jenny and Jayden for a bit at night. 

Monday morning 

I got to spend some time with Jacob, which I missed. 

Success Journal 850: Help

I am constantly relying on Help from others. Perhaps this world is so demanding that I can only complete a task with much help. 
My mum is staying in SG to help the family care for my kids and keep an eye on my helper. 
I am grateful for that, and I hope she can have some fun. So this arrangement can be sustainable. Seems like she is being held in my place comfortably.  
I hope I can be of help to others, especially my family. 

Be grateful 🥰

Success Journal 849: time spent with family

I am on the bus with Jenny. She is going to her horse riding, and I am going to work. 
All these minutes become so important. 
It all adds up. 

Success Journal 848: Connecting with myself and doing what is best for the family.

My mum is around, I am grateful she is spending quality time with the kids 

To work from my end. 

I am focusing on working , bringing ham back to the house. 

Success Journal 847: Parents in SG, Deepavali long weekend grateful

I have spent about $500 ++ to bring my parents over on short notice so they can spend time with us in Singapore. 

I am grateful they got the flexibility and are willing to do that. 

Saturday 
We fetched them from the Airport on Saturday and went for Thai food in United Square. 

Sunday-

 Early morning We did tiong bahru market for breakfast, cedele in Great World, then went to Raffles City for lunch with Aunty Michelle. 
We then walked through the underpass to Suntec City. 

After hanging around for a while, we travelled to Bugis and shopped for fruits
We then ended up in a Korean restaurant where I ordered most of the spicy food and got screwed badly. 
We took a bus back home and rest. 

Monday 
After learning a lesson from Sunday, I take today lightly and slowly. 
We started with a quick breakfast in the Toast box. 
Then we gathered with Jenny and Jayden at home; we moved to Orchard together. 
We then shopped around Orchard Road. 

After buying some stuff, we had our early lunch at Ion Food.  We continued with all the chatters. 
After shopping, we took a bus back home, rested, and played football with Jayden and Jacob. 
We ended our night with a meal at Newton Food Centre, where my parent gave me some cash he had to buy food.  

My dad is 74 this year and he clocked 12 to 15 thousand steps per day. 
Grateful 🥰,🙏

Success Journal 846: Cranking up the pressure

I am embarking at very difficult journey, due to the rearrangement of the job scope. 

The idea is to work more and cover more. 

I am grateful with my current situation. 

Investing has been rather passive. I am looking into treasury bill so can let the money work a little bit. 

Badminton has been great, I am playing with a lot more stronger players nowadays. 

Success Journal 845: My Scope of works for Wong Family

Jayden's CMA 

Jayden's icanread

Jayden's piano 

Jayden's Chinese 

Success journal 844: Pissing people with fake story

My helper dropped Jayden outside of the Muay Thai Class at around 1610hrs, and left him alone there before the class is opened. 

When my helper is being asked, she said she had sent him into the class. Which is not true. 

I am pissed for her not telling the real story

Success Journal 843: A good colleague, Melvin

He always put others in front of him. 

Grateful. 

A task that was passed to me, was guided by him throughout. No matter how late is that. 

Appreciate to have colleague like him. 

I am trying to put in 36 push up daily. And see what is the outcome. 

Success Journal 842: SCC 7s U6 Cup winner

What a big match! 
 Thanks to my bosses for waiving my Sunday duty so I can attend Jayden's big match. 
The SCC 7's rugby game is the most prominent for their age group in Singapore. 

 It will be the talk of the city.
They got into the final, and Jayden's team, TRC team Thunder, won is the cup winner. 

Jayden had a minor incident halfway through the game; he bumped into Adam and hurt his nose. 

After the game, we have a top of top-of-the-class party in Sky@eleven condo. Hosted by Scott and Prim. 

I am grateful that I get a chance to practise my socialising skills. Small talk and creating value. Active listening has been a key one. 

A big tick for my small talk practice last week. Grateful. Hope to have more practice with them. Looking forward and be stronger 💪

Success journal 841: Work instability, longer hours

I got myself an earphone. As a reward. For editing and a richer experience. 
I am grateful for my current situation
I have a thing with editing video. It adds value to my life and I felt like i am alive watcIi,ng them back. 

Work is getting more demanding as my colleague will be leaving us without replacement 

Success journal 840: Workload dumping

My bosses just distributed a massive workload to me as my colleague left. 
I left work around 6 pm yesterday. 
To think. 
I was spending some time with my kids, myself and Jenny. 
Jenny asked me for a drink, which I am very grateful for. 

I just need to step up in my communication 

Success journal 839: JB day trip, St James' Parents teachers day, AllthatJazz zoom

Woke up around 0630hrs as usual
Had breakfast with Jenny in Nam Ji, which was not very good. The price is relatively higher than we thought. 
I paid about $8.4 for our breakfast. 
After breakfast, I walked to Newton Food Centre to take a bus CW5 to JB Sentral. 
I boarded the bus around 0850hrs and reached JB sentral around 0940hrs. 
I took an RM12 grab ride to Permas Jaya Maybank and looked for the officer in charge, was invited to the SME department and sorted out my biometrics matters. 
After sorting my banking matters, I took a grab to Mid Valley Southkey for lunch. I had Nandos and Baskin Robbins. I also bought some bakeries and popcorn to bring home. 


I then booked another grab to Maybank Sentral to withdraw my FD and converted the ringgit to SGD. The FD for 57 months in Malaysia is about 2.9%. With the currency depreciation, I could easily find a risk-free investment in SG. 
After sorting out my banking matters with JB Senwithal, I quickly took a CW5 back to Singapore. 
I reached Jayden's School around 1540hrs, just 5 minutes before the meeting. I met Jenny in front of the school, and we went to the class for Jayden's PTD
Grace and I want comments as follows: 
1. They are grateful to have Jayden in school; he is gentle, caring and generous 
2. His handwriting needs to be improved 
3. He is a bit touchy 
4. He is open to criticism 
5. He didn't finish his Chinese homework
6. He said he is busy at school 
7. Teachers have no concern about how he will progress in primary school. 
8. He has excellent character and likes to perform 


After our meeting, we went home, I get to unload my purchase from JB and then went out to deposit money and to have an afternoon with Jenny and Jayden. 

After depositing the money I brought back from JB. We then went for an afternoon tea in Hong Kong Dei. 

Jayden was in his Muay Thai Class. 

I fetched Jayden around 1830hrs, and I brought him back to settle down. 

After he having his meal, he then continued his Piano session and watched a bit of TV 

While we get to meet the GM of AllThatJazz, to further understand how to move Jayden forward in his street dance. He had recently got selected to train for the performance team in ATJ. Unfortunately what I notice is that their street dance is rather new and not that established compared to their Jazz. So after the conversation, I do have concern if putting him into street dancing with ATJ is a wise choice. As once we are in the completion team, we will have to do like at least 3 sessions a week. 

After the zoom meeting with the GM of ATJ, I went to bed to rest. Grateful for the wonderful relaxing day for myself. Looking forward for more to come 

Success journal 838: Bonding with Jenny in the morning, Jayden dance or rugby

I am grateful to have Jenny to take care of the kids. 

Jayden got selected to train for his dance school. She is giving 200% to her kids' performance and future. 

We have come to a point where we have to choose either for Jayden to go dancing or rugby. 

There are so many things to improve and we don't want to give Jayden the wrong impression. Things come easy. 

Success journal 837: Rest well Sunday, Jayden's achievement

I did get some rest yesterday and I am feeling recharged today. 

I am grateful for people around me supporting me. I have been taking taking taking. 

Jenny especially , she arranged all the activities for the kids and stuff. 

Jayden was selected to represent to perform for all that jazz dance school. 

Last week, I managed to transfer my portfolio from US to SG. It cost me a bomb 

Success Journal 836: Ingrown toenail

In pain since like 3 days ago. Probably from my badminton shoe. 
This is causing a lot of distractions.

Grateful that I am still able to stand it. 
Grow more substantial than that. 

Success journal 835: Last badminton session in Toa Payoh Sports Hall

I am grateful that I have learned so much from this sports hall. 
Stepping out of the comfort zone to join the games earlier. 
I am now in my zone playing badminton. I connected with players who love badminton as much as I do, and we have many rallies. 
Yesterday marked my last session in Toa Payoh Sports Hall. The agencies decided that they would be closing down the sports hall for good and rebuilding a new one, which would take about 6 to 8 years. 

Thanks to Vince for hosting. 
With Brendon, Hong kiat, Adi M, Rubing and wira 

Success journal 834: From all directions, mentally strong

Health, family, financials. They are pulling me from all directions. 
I have to be more mentally stable and stay healthy. 

Success Journal 833: Eating out for a family

Tuesday night, we spent $66 for a meal, and I was like wtf. 
The good thing is I got to spend time with my family as I left my workplace around 1830hrs. 

But it is just too pricey, in my opinion. 
And I end up overeating and not feeling well. 

Success Journal 832: Mistake mistake mistake

I have to be more careful with the mistake. 

Success Journal 831: Weekend with the mother-in-law, rugby, hawker centre and Triggered SCDF

What a weekend.

Saturday, Jayden is out with Austin and Janice. They brought him to a water park in Sentosa. 
We went to the east ocean fEast Ocean, which Cost us around 60++. 
Afterwards, we strolled around the orchard and continued our lunch in Wisma Atria. I bought most of the food. 
After lunch, we returned home to rest and saw a maid agent, as we intended to change our helper. It will cost us around 3 to 4 k for bringing back Sally 
After the maid session, we went to an excellent Vietnamese place for a meal. Didn't enjoy it. 

After our meal we went back home and sleep 

Sunday

Rugby morning. Brought two kids to TRC, met Alexandre parents. Kids have fun and I started to connect with the parents too. 

After rugby. We went to tiong bahru market for a meal. After our meal, we went home for a rest. 

Jayden got icanread around 3pm. We had some snacks before hand. 

After Jayden icanread, we let Jayden to do some of his CMA home work, and we went to Thomson playground to play football. We won the other kids. 6-4

Around 6pm, Jenny mother pressed the emergency alarm, SCDF came, the whole block was in a mess. Jenny was very upset. 

We kept apologies to everyone in the block. 

We then went back to home and continue our dinner. Awkward silence. 

Success Journal 830: Difficult words to swallow

The real world is not easy.

Just hope my kids would grow up more robust than I am. 
My boss is constantly asking me to leave the company if I cannot achieve progress. 

Success Journal 829: Connecting with my family

My life starts after my work ends. 
I reached home around 2040hrs yesterday and had a quick dinner and shower. I then read a story for Jayden. Animal farm. We then had a bit of a snack together with Jenny. 
After that, we let Jayden go to bed around 2200hrs. 

I then watched Netflix with Jenny about David Beckham.
In the morning, Jenny has a new routine to: take a bus together with me to her horse riding session. I am grateful for this early morning encounter with her and the bonding session.

My weekend is to run family errands and supposed to contribute to the family. 
Eating out is getting expensive now 
Can feel the inflation is hitting us hard 
I cannot afford anything now

Last Saturday was Jayden's K2 Graduation. He performed on stage and was positioned in the front of his group. 
I can feel the pressure from the group as none took the bus in his class. Only we took a taxi. That was the thing when we joined a private kindergarten. 
After the graduation, we bought a bit of the photos and took a bus to Bishan for a meal. 
We had a meal in Swensen, and it cost us $100
After our meal, we went back home and rested. We then went for a swimming in Park Infinia, which was good. 
At night, we played games together 
Sunday morning, we packed our things and went for a rugby session. 
Jayden wasn't fully concentrating on the game. However, he did score a try for his team. 
I hope he can put more effort and concentration into it. 
After rugby, we went back home. I took away some food from United Square, which cost me about $20 to feed the family. 
I was exhausted and took a long nap. 
After our nap, we went to Orchard for a meal together and then Decathlon.

It is about no extra time, and consistency habit is more important than anything else. 
I am missing a lot of my family time over the weekend. Which I think is not worth it at all.  However, the Sunday work is essential to recuperate myself regarding the rhythm of life and commitment to the family, mainly when I chose the Sunday minimum activities. 

As for yesterday, I spent my day coaching my new supervisor, connecting with Hong Kiat to contemplate how to be APM, 
I prepared this post longer than usual. Perhaps need to think more about it. 
My contribution to the family yesterday was I booked flights from Melbourne to Tasmania.

Good weekend for me. Spending time with the kids 

Saturday we went to Centaurs to train. I brought Jayden and Jacob to the field and spent a great time with them. 

After the session, I brought the kids back to rest. After that, I brought Jayden and Jacob to Noah's birthday party. They had a whale of a time. I am grateful they allowed Jacob into the indoor playground in vivocity. 

After the session, we sent Jayden to a Street dance audition in Katong i12. 

Sunday 

Morning I brought Jayden and Jacob to West Coast Park for a rugby session, it is a public area and it wasn't very conducive. Having said that, Jayden had loads of fun and bonding with the kids. 

After the rugby session, I brought the two kids to McDonald's for lunch.  The place was crowded but I managed them. 

We then took a taxi back to rest and Jayden went to his ICANREAD and dance showcase in Newton. 

We had dinner together at home 

Success journal 813: liquidated my us account

I have been investing for almost 10 years. Grateful with the experience and learning curve 

But too bad. Result wasn't as good as expected. Perhaps because I am not discipline enough to hold. Doing nothing.

I went to SBH yesterday, it feels like when I just started to play in Toa Payoh. Is like an upgrade. 

SBH is like the hub of all the strong badminton players. Where all the magic happens. 

I was nervous, couldn't serve properly and I brought the wrong rackets. I ended up borrowing a racket from Wong. 

Success journal 808: Supportive Family culture

I am grateful that Jenny has been supportive of having my sport, as time goes by, I guess she has gotten used to it. The resistance from her is so much lesser now. 

I have to keep up with my values and my perseverance. Believe in what I do and keep doing it. I do what is right, and focus on it.

Been overeating recently. 

Success journal 801: Grateful with the bonding time with my family

Left work early yesterday, and connected with my family. 

We had dinner around 8 p.m. Jenny ordered pizza for the family. 

I overeat. Lack of discipline. Just stuffed my face. 

Went for a short walk with Jenny around the neighbourhood.  Grateful 

Success journal 800: Overloading, flashing cards and important goals

The workload is tremendous. I am choking on it. Drawing a boundary. There is a limit to how many things we can do in such a short time. 

Went to badminton and took a cab. Wasting money in this part. 

I skipped my dinner yesterday and took a replacement dinner after the session

Success journal 799:A day out with Jacob

Woke up early today, and released my helper to her off day. I am the sole carer of Jacob for the day. 

I brought him to the Botanic Garden in the morning. It was slightly late. The place was rather sunny. We got to play forest trampoline in Jacob Ballas children's garden, a slide and we took the bus home. 

I took a bath with Jacob and I let him take a nap. He took a long nap and woke up around 1330hrs. I fed him lunch, and I brought him to Paya Lebar airbase for the RSAF 55-year open house. 

It was very crowded and raining. Though we managed to watch a few planes fly by, and got some goodies bag. Cary couldn't make it due to the traffic jam and he suggested to go cafe instead. 

He came to pick us up and we went to great world for a coffee and also to let the kids enjoy the playground. 

We had a quick chat and the kids love it. 

Yuyen joined us later for a meal together. We went to Shake Shack for dinner. Enjoyed the dinner altogether and Jacob loved it too. They sang a birthday Song for Jacob after the meal. 

We went back home after our dinner, and Jenny reached home around 2230hrs, together with Jayden and my mother-in-law. 

Grateful for the day. I love you Jacob and hope you have a great birthday weekend.

I 

Success journal 797: good stress at work

Connecting with myself to reflect. 

Self-motivation is required as I am currently taking up a lot of work. Toxic environment 

The tangible things I did yesterday were the small talk with Kelvin. Is like a fabric growing into the community. I am grateful I got into this community. 

Although it comes with a cost. I took a later bus home. 

Success journal 796: leaving a journal in space

I am grateful that my blog has sustained so far 

Learned so much from things and how to react. To deep dive into conversation with my brother Shaun. He highlighted that our companies lost about RM700k in the 2022 financial year. There was a moment where I felt like I wanted to close everything and move on. 

Shaun didn't just identify the problem, which is a person taking up so much work and not doing a good job. Mr M. Shaun proposed to get a QS to tender a job 

Success journal 795: Dinner with colleague, short session with JJ

I stayed late at work, to clear some of my stuff. Asked my colleague Melvin, if he wanted to go out for dinner. We then went out for dinner in square 2. Ramen Kazan. The place is very relaxing and affordable too. I spent $20 

I feel like because we are from the same company. Talking to each other is completely relaxing and unpretentious. This is the circle that I am in.

Focus on adding value to myself, the people around me and of course my family. 

Success journal 794: Consistency, technology, learn m, read, rebounding,

Yesterday went to the badminton court earlier, to connect with my badminton mates. 

Seems like not easy to get into a circle, but I am glad I asked. 

Meeting people through sports is crucial for me to learn about connecting with people, small talk and excel in life. 

Meeting people and connecting with others are so important to me. 

I broke my racket.

Just chill and relax 

Success journal 791: A rest day, President Electiom Singapore

Yesterday was Singapore presidential Election Day, I got a day off unexpectedly. 

We started with Jayden's birthday party. Lauren's birthday party in Kiztopia Marina Square. Connect with a few parents. 

The small talk topic should be where is your kid's next move. I guess that should be a great small-talk conversation. It took me almost a day to think of this answer. 

After the birthday party, we had a simple lunch in Sukiya, Jenny liked Sukiya. It is her type of meal. 

We then went back home and took a long nap, It was like the best nap ever. 

After our nap, we went to Hong Kong Day for tea time, then Jenny went to SJI Malcolm Road to cast her vote. 

We then walked back home and had dinner at home. 

A tiring and fruitful day as I got to spend time with my family.

Success journal 788: left work sharp, badminton, late home, health

I know that I cannot please everybody. 

I will have to focus on things that are important to me. 

My physical health, mental health is important to me and the family. 

I enjoyed the game, burned 1000 calories 

Grateful 

Success journal 787: 5min run, and thought sharing talk, journal it

A journal is important. To rethink, to digest, and the record. 

I think the more I journal things down, the more thought I get to process. 

Not to be silent in a meeting was one of the points we shared in our session yesterday 

I am grateful I am keeping this habit and continue to work on it. Until I am familiar with penning my thoughts down, these few minutes work is worth it because it capture the essence of the day I lived. And when I read back again, I get to learn more about it. 

Jenny is flying next week with Jayden to Thailand, so she is stressing the trip 

Success journal 786: a day with family

After work yesterday, I found that I paid my insurance with my bank account. 

All in a sudden, I paid on time. Lost a month buffer

I skipped dinner yesterday 😞 to save some money 

I grateful I save a few dollars and a few calories. Every point counts 

Sunday morning, went to a Jayden rugby tournament, they won all three games. I get to mingle with a few parents and they seems nice. 

Ava's dad fetched us back to the star vista 

We had a quick brunch and headed home. 

We swam with JJ for a bit and took a short nap. After our nap, we went to interview a helper through online

After our interview, we had bubble tea and spent some time with Jayden. 

We had a lovely meal at home and watched a movie about elephant. I also sleep Jayden and JJ. 

We have decided to buy a Beyblade for Jayden cost us a lot of money. Everything is so expensive now 

Success Journal 785: Bonding session with Jenny over meal

Yesterday I left work around 7pm, joined Jenny for Japanese meal in Kazan Square 2. 

We shared a bowl of the Kazan meal and spent about $40. Jenny shared about her concern over the helper and have decided to change our helper. It is good to hear from her. 

I also shared a bit of my story from work. We ordered a beer to share. 

I am grateful I get to spend time with her on Friday night 

Mantra of my life. 

Eat less than I burn 

Spend less than I make 

Invest the difference 

Be efficient with my time 

A reminder for myself 

Success journal 784: Spending time with myself, 3 hour badminton

I left work around 1830hrs. We took Go Jek to Sengkang for a 3-hour session. 

To stay away from work, the one that provides for the family. Which is killing me from the inside 

We have the intention to change the helper 

After my badminton session, I took a cab ride home, which took me about 30 minutes to get home. This is a cost for me to play Badminton in Sengkang 

After reaching home, I took a cold shower and drank a protein shake. 

I spent some time with Jenny and slept around midnight. 

Success Journal 783: Push back, rest

Calibration on myself  

Have a list to manage my direction 

Atomic habit. Do little things to create the habit. 

Contribute to the family as much as I can. 

Jenny needed help 

Setting the right mindset is important. The mantra of my life: 

Eat less than I burn

Spend less than I make, Invest the difference 

Be efficient with time 

Jenny is having a tough time at work, she has some issues with some tests in China. 

Success journal 782: Bought a losing money company SATS

Once a darling, SATS, an airport management, food solution company. Now they ventured into the air cargo business in Europe. 

Margin is minimal, and huge one-off costs for the takeover of a European company. 

Shareholders are taking the consequences of this. No dividend, the share price dropped etc. 

I bought it at 2.72 and now is already 2.52. Maybe I should focus less on the price and more on the moats and business opportunities. 

I feel like my knowledge retention is not as strong so I rely on staying organised. 

When I entered at 2.72, I am looking at a 3.7% yield per annum, it is impressive how this calculation is shown by the Fifth person and I appreciate the sharing of their knowledge. 

At this point, 3.7% is not a very attractive return. But is letting the money work for me.  It is not easy to have an investor mindset in this bearish market. 

To buy while others are instilling fear. Focus on the business model, moat etc. 

One thought I have for this company is that they are partially owned by the Singapore government investment fund. Which makes it easier to slack, and government may have a certain degree of influence over their policy setting. 

Success Journal 781: Pushing the boundary and study with Jayden until 10 pm

I am pushing the boundary of my mental, physical and spiritual. 

At work and home  

With so many decisions to make every day is draining my will and ability to think. 

I am also encountering mental blocks when it comes to pushing all these boundaries I need to draw a line to it. Leave at 1830hrs for the family. 

After reaching home from work, I took a quick shower and a quick dinner. After my dinner, I quickly sit down with my son and we started to go through homework together we pushed through together to finish part of the English homework. 

I am completely knackered and I am sure he is too. We had a bit of snack in between. 

After the homework session, Jayden went to sleep while in continue to spend some time with Jenny. Reconciliation after our big fight over the weekend. 

Success journal 780: Tissue, badminton, Sorry, Jazz for dogs botanic garden,

Highlight for the weekend

Saturday 

We argued over who used the most tissue paper. I stand firm on this because I have been giving too much space to my kid and my wife. 

Then I went to a 3-hour badminton session to release stress 

Then came home, spent some time with Jacob at Thomson Playground and rest.

Sunday 

Woke up for Jayden's rugby session. 

Is the 1st game of the season, after the game, we went to the beauty world and had breakfast in Cedele. Jenny said sorry about saying things simply. 

After breakfast, we let the kids have some fun on the mall's playground. This playground is very important to attract kids around. 

We went home and continue the drama, I fight for the racket to be returned to me, and JENNY EVENTUALLY BROKE DOWN, SAYING SHE NEEDS HELP. She said many sorrys

We stopped the argument and I went to take care of Jayden. Preparing him for his I Can Read part. 

The teacher mentioned he didn't do his homework. 

After ICANREAD, we then go to the botanic garden to meet up with Yuyen. There is this Jazz for Dog event that we have signed up for. 

Yuyen's family was like 1.5hours late for the event, and all her kids were asleep when they reach. 

Maybe the timing of the event doesn't fit her kids' nap time. 

Jayden was a bit disappointed. 

We did seize the opportunity to catch up with Cary and Yuyen with what we have got left. 

I played with Orie for a while, and she was relatively mild and cute. 

We reached home around 9 pm. All knackered and we went to sleep. 

Someone commented my video was without a storyline- got to improve on that. 

Grateful for the weekend. I stand for myself and spent time with my family. 

I also hear Jenny's deep voice inside where she needs help. She is carrying all the mental weight of my family. 

Success journal 779: Fatigue

Tired mentally and physically. This is when I eat a lot 

Eat less than I burn 

Spend less than earn 

Invest the difference 

Efficient with my time 

Success journal 778: Life full of commitments

Carrying different roles and responsibilities. 

From Work to Home, seems like I need to improve a lot of things. And a lot of things that I need to improve will require a lot of time, energy and effort. Perhaps work has been very demanding recently, as one of my colleagues is going on a long leave. 

Maybe I am poor at managing other people's expectations. I cannot please everybody. Because I have limited time, energy and resources. 

Yesterday night, I push myself to do a walk with Jenny despite feeling half sick. I should not have half sick as an excuse. 

The first thing is what should I focus on? Think through, remember the instruction 

Success Journal 777: Myself and discipline

It is a milestone for myself, for consistency to drive for improvement. 

Went for training yesterday, despite feeling lazy and tired. I did 3 consecutive days with badminton and I feel my legs fatigue. 

We need to focus on what matters. 

Spend less than I earn, eat less than I burn, invest the difference and be efficient with my time. 

Double-check my work so others do not need to have a double headcount. 

A reminder for myself is important, filter people around me. 

I cannot make a good deal with lousy people

Success Journal 776: Recovery and heavy work load

Feeling the workload is getting more and more as my colleague is handing over his task. 

Yesterday I left work around 7 pm. Rushed to TPY for my sessions. Ended my badminton session around 10 pm. Playing with the MI now. 

Success Journal 775: Take charge of my life

Eat less than I burn- I ate half portion of my meal. 

Spend less than I make- Use points for dessert 

Invest the difference

Manage my time efficiently- connect with Jenny at night, applied Australia visa 

Success journal 774: JB with Jenny

A rare occasion 

We went to JB without kids yesterday. 

Took the CW5 from Newton around 0845hrs, and we reached JB cafe's door around 12noon. We queued for a while crossing the Malaysia border. 

We went to cafes, massages and malls. We bonded through these sessions and reached home around 1015hrs. Completely knackered. 

I didn't manage to eat less than I burn for yesterday. Broke the mantra. Trying to compensate with some workouts today. 

We discussed our retirement funds, money to keep and money to spend.  Some of the difficult directions. Perhaps we should set some agendas for updates in the future 

Success journal 773: Good rest

I have broken the 82kg mark, today I weigh about 81.1kg. 

My new Mantra: 

Eat less than I burn, 

save less than I spend, 

Invest in the difference,

be efficient with time

Grateful for the new mindset and mantra 

Success journal 772: Efficient with time

I am very lean with my time. Catch up with friends, start some small talk, support the group and connect. 

In the morning I went to Holland Village with Jenny and Jayden. We had brunch in bakers and cook. We then bought some stuff and I went to Ken's place for a meal, I ate less than usual. Trying to keep the eat less than I burn, and spend less than I make mantra at work. 

I ate a lot of celery yesterday. Aroundb1545, I called a cab and went home. Brought Jayden out for Badminton. 

We then played with our neighbour for a while. 

We had our dinner on hong kong street. We spent like 60++ for a meal together. I tried again the mantra Eat less than I burn. The challenge is on. I hope I didn't gain weight from the holiday as much. Three full meals a day, will keep me gaining weight 

Success journal 771: Connecting with myself, setting clarity must do list for myself.

I left work earlier yesterday, and grab two peanut bread to eat. I reached the badminton court around 1830hrs.

I started my training from 7 pm, till 8 pm. Then continue leisure games from 8 pm to 10 pm. 

I also looked into my must-do list, and thoroughly go through them. I revised some of them, and think through the things I want. 

Perhaps things can be improved. By using what I have learned from atomic habit. I need to continue those little things daily. I always underestimate what I can achieve in years 

Success Journal 770: Family Sunday, Jayden Judo graduation

The weekend was great, I got some rest on Saturday night while they went out to have dinner with Alexander and Gerda in Funan. When they come back from their dinner, I was called to work on Saturday last minute though. 

We then went out for a drink without the kids in Coffee beans. They got the promotion drinks and croissants with ham. 

The jizz is the connection I made with Jenny that night, catching up with her and listening to her. Last two weeks, she was a bit relaxed because her boss went away for 2 weeks. 

Sunday Morning 

We stayed the day tidying the house and preparing Jayden for his Judo graduation. Jayden got a certificate for this  

After Jayden's judo class, we went to Mira's Birthday in Shaw Plaza, which is about baking tiramisu together with Jayden's Friends. Luckily there is a small indoor playground around where I get to bond with Jacob for about 1 hour. 

Jayden seems to enjoy the sessions, and I took some videos of Jacob in the playground. I am not bringing my camera out since then. 

After the birthday party, we then have our lunch in xi men Jie, a Taiwanese eatery on the 4th floor of Shaw Plaza. The food was good. The price is very reasonable. I get to feed the whole family of 4 for like $36. 

We also spent some time together playing with robots in the mall, took a short taxi ride back home and rest. 

3 pm I took Jayden to I can read for about 1.5 hours. I could have done a lot more but I spent my time editing videos of my badminton sessions last week. I could have read more financial blogs and learned a lot more. I did follow a Singaporean blog called Assi I admire his self-talk and learned through some. I spent some time in Popular to read some chapters of some random books about cpf too. Seems like the Singapore bond is popular now. Around 3.9 to 4 per cent yield  

After fetching Jayden, I brought him back home and we do a relaxing movie night together. We watched a movie together, age of Ultron. And had kfc for dinner. I controlled myself with the chicken as I think I overeat in the afternoon. I save some space for Tiramisu baked by Jayden. 

After our dinner, we continue our movie night together until 10 pm. Took a shower together with Jayden and sleep that night. I could have read a short story for Jayden that night. Will improve with that. 

Success journal 769: To be a pet 🐶

It is important to find the channel to connect to offwith people. Maybe some are trickier than others. I just have to learn the trick

Burnt around 1k, good fun 

Success journal 768: Spending time with Jayden

Yesterday I spent 3.5hours with my kid Jayden. Well worth it.

I should have more of these sessions 

Success journal 767: Connecting with people through badminton

It is a channel, a way of life. 

I regretted letting people know too much of my personal life. Set boundary 

Training with someone in this network, with Huck lee is that I get to tap on his network. 

The upside is i get to connect with people with the same interest. 

Eat less than I burn, spend less than I make 

Success journal 766:We got it, Jayden is going to ACS

Received a text yesterday at 8 am. Saying that Jayden has secured a place in ACS Junior. 

Is a dream come true, probably the Kiasu nightmare just started. Hahaha who knows, will see how it goes 10 years from now. 

I am grateful, for all the effort we have done. We managed to get into it. 

Success journal 765: Connection with Jenny

Many things needed to be sorted out to manage a family. To run a family. Help as much as I can. It seems like is never-ending 

We need to start planning for our retirement, things we do for the kids, the parents 

We went out for dinner yesterday in the orchard. And we went to watch Barbie together with Jenny. 

I had a whole bucket of popcorn myself. 

Kids' free night out, which we made happened at least once a month thing. 

Grateful for this to happen. 

Success journal 764: Fatigue fatigue overeat

When I am stressed I tend to use food as comfort. 

Yesterday I had 2 dinners. One is McDonald another one is my home-cooked grilled chicken with vegetables. 

I overeat. 

Focus on getting the work done. Burn fat and start healthy I seems to have issue breaking the 82.5kg cycle. 

Success journal 763: A good start yesterday

I left work around 1815hrs yesterday and joined Jenny and the family for dinner in Velocity food court 

I ordered a mixed vegetable without rice. 

I eat less than I burn and spend less than I make. Invest in the difference. 

Grateful that I am setting this successful mindset for my body. 

Let's not let the environment or work stress disturb my precious mind.  

I just need to keep my mind very conscious and know what is there for me. 

I also get to sleep early yesterday and am feeling recharged today. 

Success journal 762: training, work, think, rest, recover

I seize the moment,  train hard, speak up more, push back, learn and read 

CCP is committed to driving the economy. Of China. Perhaps this is a good opportunity to build wealth. 

I am committed to building wealth for the family, and generational wealth, therefore will have to take care of my mental and physical health while doing it. 

Yesterday did a 2-hour training session, burnt almost 1k calories. Feeling good today, feel like keeping up with the diet part also. 

Eat less than I eat, spend less than I make. Invest in the difference. 

Success journal 761: Weekday date night with JENNY, P1 registration,

Eat less than I burn, and spend less than I make. Invest in the difference. 

It is a rare occasion now for us to take a break on weekdays. With a work schedule and parenting on the plate, it seems impossible to get a good night out with kids free nowadays. 

Yesterday was Jayden's P1 primary registration, Jenny asked me to take a half day off. So I did it, although the registration can be done online completely we seem to want to go through it together. We have registered Jayden into ACS Junior, a boys' school which is around our area. Based on yesterday's hearsay, ballotting is required. So I need a lot of luck until the 31st of July. 

After our P1 registration and dropping Jayden off for CMA, we went to Hong Kong Dei for an afternoon tea, we ordered an egg and Ham sandwich, Fish and Chips and a Polo bun. 

We hang around with Jacob in United Square while waiting for Jayden. After that, I took a short nap.  Jenny and I went to Orchard to deposit some money bank. 

We bought a taro coconut shake, from Nr Coconut and we went to Sushiro for dinner. The dinner cost us $27. 

This is our rich life.  Grateful and a happy person. Perhaps we should eat less in the future, too many meals yesterday. 

We also heard the sad news from HK, Miss J's mum may have been diagnosed with Cancer 

Success journal 760: Shouting, a means of communication, eat less than I burn, spend less than I make. Invest the difference

Yesterday we have a big fight in the morning about where I put my things in the bedroom. Root cause is because I don't have sufficient space to tidy my stuff. 

I stand firm on my point, and I get my space yesterday. 

I strongly believe in life we need to be vocal on things we want. 

Getting back in shape, eat less than I burn, and spend less than I make. Invest the difference. 

I am grateful for all the time I have connecting with myself, and doing badminton releasing stress. 

Yesterday I chose the small portion 1, you are the average of the 5 person you mingle with. Stepping up. While I was in subway yesterday, I ordered wrap, with egg mayo. The cheapest I can find this is to save some money and some calories. I hope. 

Badminton was good, get to play with people better than I do. Keep learning from different people, and learn their mindset. 

I burnt 1000 calories during that 2 hour session. 

I also get to study about Sats, a company I recently invested in. 

Their average food solution and gateway  services earnings is about 221million per annum precovid. If Sats is able to claw back to 80% of its pre-Covid level. That would be about 182million. As Sats used to distribute 80% of its earnings to shareholders. 

That would be about 0.097cents per annum.  The current share price is about $2.6 so it worked out to be 3.7 percent yield per annum. 

Success journal 759: Eat less than I burn, spend less than 1 eat

I failed yesterday, I ordered a $60 meal for the ⁰family. I ate a burger, tender chicken, chicken wings, fries and onion ring. Like a complete American meal. 

Sunday is rather intense nowadays

Grateful to people around me. Supporting my work, mission and mantra 

Success journal 757: Alternative for others

Think for others, we all have someone to answer for. Sometimes we just have to focus on the project itself and how to fail it. Reverse engineer it. 

Success Journal 756: Routine and principles

Back to my routine, back to 82kg. I have shed all the weight gained from my trips and now is to be no excuse until 72kg. 

Body transformation will have many benefits, and I have to focus on the benefits 

Yesterday was a good badminton session with Alvin's game 

Work is still lacking, maybe should adopt what is feasible and why is not happening. 

I also spend money for the family and loading Jenny 's calendar did this. 

Success journal 755: eat less than I burn, spend less than I make. Invest the difference

Some of the mantras I have to tell myself. 

Health matters, eat in a relaxed mode, save some money, connect with me, listen to my body, and practice breathing exercises. 

Yesterday night I spent time with Jayden together with my reading while he is on his CMA.

Seems like the book I have been reading, richer and happier took me a few months to complete. 

I also skipped some of my meals and burn fat mode during my badminton sessions

Success Journal 754: Practise practise practise

Eat less than I burn, and spend less than I make. Invest the difference 

Yesterday was Monday Blue. 

No time to read. Perhaps I will have to schedule a slot for reading. 

Success journal 753: Staying control, journal, spend less than I make, eat less than I burn

The moment I spend less than I make, I am rich, the moment I eat less than I burn, I am healthier. 

Have this mantra in mind for myself. Keep reminding myself for this. 

Brought them to NDP to watch fireworks.

Eat at toast box. Some of the initiative from myself during this parent visit. The only part I spent more than I should is the one in Newton food centre. 

Over eat and over spent. Not worth doing it 

Start from all the little things. 

Connecting with my mother and aunty, I hope they get to connect with each other during this period and bond deeply. 

Hesitation is lost. 

Grateful with what I got 

Success journal 752: Connecting with my mother

We had a meal together in orchard. A rare 1 to 1 meal together. I hope she enjoyed the session as much as I do. 

A very special kind of bonding session, just like how I bump into her in Rome. 

Success journal 751: Mum in SG

My mum in SG, she spent so much energy and time to come over here and connect with m and my family. Not easy for her, to be awkward. 1 thing for sure, she is adventurous.

A new motto of mine. I just have to control my diet and spending. Eat less than I burn and spend less than I make

Seems like is my recent motto, from all the little things, to the big things. From work, personal stuff and family stuff 

Success journal 746: slow down my pace in eating, grateful with my life

That is all I eat, I think my eating habit, especially when I am hungry, is a complete lack of control. Cannot afford to continue like this else I am gonna get a stroke or a heart attack. 

I am no longer young anymore, so will have to be very mindful of what I eat. 

After my dinner, I went for a walk with Jenny to burn off the pizzas I ate. 

I am living the best moment of my life. Very grateful about it. 

Success journal 745: bad badminton session

I am gutted with my self yesterday, tough day at work, long day I would say, probably because I was a way for a few days. Many things to catch-up 

Disturbed mind 

I guess I have left it in a relaxed mode. 

I have chosen a challenging path 

How to have a growth mindset , i nearly exploded on my organiser for checking the time wrongly.

I must take care of her when I am in KK

success journal 742: Intense weekend

Majority of my last weekend is about my family, we got horse riding, muay Thai , piano, I can read etc. Is either for my kid or for Jenny. Sometimes it feels numbing. Be there. 

Not a great weekend for me. Just to recover from the long hours of work

Success journal 741: BTT basic theory test

I just got back from my company quarterly dinner in Estate, Hilton orchard. 

When I reached home, we are discussing about buying a car for the family. 

And of course, we discussed about my BTT. Asking me to do it by today. I have got a lot of things chasing after me to settle, while my wife is unhappy about my driving license

Success journal 738: when life becomes a routine

I believe in a system, a habit. 

Focus on building a eating habit is important, the habit of eating disorders is imbued in my system for a long time. Getting rid of it is really challenging. I hope I will only keep this bad habit to myself. Not to pass on.  

Manage expectations 

Success journal 737: a good Weekend with the family

Friday Night 

Movie night with the family in Shaw. We should do this as a family routine. 

Saturday Night

I ended my work sharply on Saturday afternoon, rushed back home and quickly eat my dinner. After my dinner, I took Jayden out, we took the bus 518 to the city centre to check out I light Singapore, while we were on our way, we notice that NDP fireworks are going on too. There was this massive crowd. The bus stops at around Suntec City and we had to take the MRT to Bayfront. 

When we reached the bayfront, it was crowded, we went to Marina bay sands, watched the light show, some of the lights exhibitions and the highlight of the night, the fireworks.

We left the city around 10 pm. 

Sunday 

Sentosa beach rugby, learning how to socialise and say hello to people. Jayden had a good time there, JJ was a bit grumpy. Coach Marcus did put a lot of effort into training Jayden up. Grateful for that. Have to put in a lot of energy to train a person or a team. I learn so much from Coach Marcus. Putting energy into the team instead of sleepwalking. And Jayden has such wonderful positive energy. Coach Marcus did personal training with Jayden after the rugby games, teaching Jayden how to do side steps.  

After beach rugby, we took a taxi back home, take a shower, and a nap. We have a healthy lunch, and we sent Jayden to BJJ. 

Jenny and I went to Hong Kong Dei for tea time. The conversation was deep, kids free and we discussed things that are important to us. 

After that, we went to pick up Jayden, bought some bakery for them, back home and practise the piano.

 After the piano, we did badminton downstairs. After badminton, we went out for a meal in a nearby Korean restaurant. Hearty ginseng soup. 

After the meal, we did bicycle learning together with Jayden around the neighbourhood.  

Success journal 736:Missed a promotion

Another year to wait, or should I say to learn and contribute. Where is my drive to make money from selling time? Perhaps, because we got kids to take care of. 

Maybe is an excuse. Have to be smart in this world. Don't cling to an organisation  

I am grateful for what I got. 

Yesterday after work, I joined my family for a movie session in Shaw, we watched Transformer. 

I skipped my dinner and had popcorn and soft drinks. 

The day before we had a company gathering. The gathering is with agenda, the key one is that I missed a promotion. The reason is because of management perceptions. 

 I drank 1.5l of alcohol that night, and couldn't sleep 

Success journal 735: Connecting with people through Badminton

Things I am looking forward to.Family time, nice meals, badminton, video editing, making money through investing, and connecting with people individually. 

It is a tough week for me, but that is not the reason for being weak, will have to grow bigger than the problem and solve things more proactively. Gathering information from scratch. 

Stretching myself this week, working through is not as easy as before now.  On my 2nd week of work. 

The idea of having a mentor is very important. In life, in sports, at work, in relationships. I am grateful that I can afford some now and learn how to connect people to the core through badminton. I think having the same interest important. 

Success journal 734: ALTERNATE VIEW KENNY

after work, I went to the AMK hub to meet Kenny, who recently migrated to Australia. Asking him about his view. 

As expected, he placed his order and sat down. Perhaps is a social norm as I asked him out. For me is more about connecting with old friends. 

He shared his stories about his encounter in his life, and how he spent his life. Make money and owned an apartment in Sydney. 

He is from ACS, an elite school to which we have the intention to send Jayden. It is an opportunity for me to observe. 

He has this alternative view of life. Listen to non-mainstream news, believe in Donald Trump is doing a great thing for the world  

He called those that believe in his story an open mind. I listened with an open mind, so he called me Halfawake. I am grateful for the session, he took out from his busy schedule to connect with me. I adore this kind of connection in life and I will make more of these in the future. I believe connecting with people with the same interest will lift me in the long run. 

Success journal 733: Badminton with my kids

My session was postponed, my coach cannot make it. So I got 2 hours court myself. 

Fatigue. My body without the weekend rest. I am pushing my limit. Physically and mentally. Cannot think much now. 

Glad my family enjoyed the badminton session yesterday. Jenny took some photos of us playing badminton 

Success journal 732: Working through weekend

It was a working weekend, not easy to cope, as I have so many family obligations to fulfill. 

Luckily the church stuff is sorted out, left the rugby, time spent with family 😀

After work, I reached home around 5pm, swam with my kids. Had steamboat with the family at home. Went for a 4km run after a movie with popcorn. Grateful with what I could achieve in such a short time frame. 

Thanks to Jenny for arranging all the get together time 

Note, I went through my old journal, and found my ether wallet back. 

Success journal 731: Value add walk with Jenny

We always have this 4km walk at night routine nowadays 

Yesterday went all the way to Boonlay to collect my cert, after that I took the meeting back home, and we went to lunch in Shanghai Tan. 

After our meal, I took a nap together with the kids and we prepare for Jayden's piano lesson

After the piano lesson, I had avocado on toast snacks. Then we headed off to Farrer Park for Jayden's Muay Thai class. 

After Jayden's class, we had our dinner in tam chai Sam gor.  Went back home and took a 4km walk. Yesterday's walk was a good one as We connected by listening to each other stories. Talk about meeting old colleagues, broadening our horizons etc. 

Success journal 730: 3 sessions a week

The badminton routine is important for me, however, my body seems like takes some time to cope with the 3 days a week's workout. No excuse 

I am also pushing myself to generate content and stay on the other side of the consumer. I will be working myself out if I continue to stay relaxed. 

Have to continue to churn out content and let myself aware of what is happening. 

Success Journal 729: Connecting with family

Booked an expensive ticket to KK for the family, which cost me about $1500.

Success Journal 728: Failed Self-discipline

Have to keep learning and improving myself. Stay healthy and keeping fit is critical to stay healthy longer 

Yesterday was the day I lose control of my appetite, I ordered some zero, downed a 100+, and are fried chicken before I sleep

Booking a holiday with Lowsai has been very helpful with that. 

Being organised is very important to strive in life, investing and the workplace. 

Success journal 727: Learning from coach

It is important to have a coach in life. 

To learn from others 

To learn from someone I admire 

To learn from someone smarter than me

Been a good week without direct work pressure. 

I sat for a small exam last Thursday. After the exam, I went back to work, which was a bit rush. 

Friday was a relaxing Friday, we didn't do much, we dropped Jayden and Jacob off in an indoor playground, and we then went to Clarke Quay for brunch, and ordered an Australian iced coffee, which is with a scoop of yummy ice cream. 

We then went to the Intercontinental Hotel for an atas brunch. We ordered pizza and truffle eggs on toast. The ingredients they used were good. After our brunch, we had a big fight about pets, which is a typical bonding way for us. I said sorry after that, but at least I pass the message to her. Went back home for a rest, and we went for a viewing, of a 2 5m property around the area. To learn and deep dive into the property market. Elly is taking care of the kids. 

At n8ght, I went for badminton training while Jenny brought Jayden for a dinner meal with her friends in Neil Road.

We went to hopper park in the morning, played with kids and dogs, and then we sent Jayden to Muay Thai, after muay that session, we then went to Hong Kong Dei for brunch, their food had improved. After that, we went to Velocity for a quick shopping for the home. And brought the grocery to fetch Jayden from BJJ and Muay Thai 

We had lunch together at home and took some rest. After our rest, we went for another viewing again, which is 1.8++ this round. 

After our viewing, started to rain, we took a bus to the orchard and had an afternoon tea at Tiong Bahru bakery in Scotts Square. After that, we decided to go for a movie. Fast X. We had McDonald's before the movie, and I bought myself popcorn for the movie. It was a great night out with Jenny. We walked back home that night because we are too much food. 

Sunday

We did run together and we have a drink in Coates and lunch in Rumours( a Balinese-style resort), we completed the run together, and I carried Jacob throughout the 1.6km run. There were a lot of freebies, they even got avocado for all runners. 

Tested my new mic and new blogging style. 

We had an expensive lunch in Rumours after. Jayden enjoyed his time there with Alexander as they got into a swimming pool, and Jacob kept jumping into the pool. 

After the session, we got a buggy ourselves to the monorail, and we tooMrtrt back home. It was good fun, after we sent Jayden to Icanread, we then went to a Japanese ramen stall for a bowl of ramen and went home for a nap. 

Elly cooked some hearty meal for dinner and we just pack our things before we called it a day.

Weekend was a very packed for us. Sally fly out yesterday. Jayden passed his swimming bronze test, and got silver for TRC cup. 

Success journal 718: gained weight from my trip

Self-control, self-discipline, I need this. I think because I got issues with all these self-discipline when it comes to diet. I just couldn't be successful. 

Need to control myself when it comes to eating. How I do anything is how I do everything. 

Recently we just got our air-cond overhauled. We are aircondless, and it is boiling out there. Even at night. 

Take care of my health, eat healthier. No snacks no fast food.

Feels like not in control 

Success journal 710: Coaching after work in tanglin

I need to learn from a mentor and someone who is always at the forefront.

It helps to guide me as much as I can and to change my bad habit. The idea of learning changes my approach. 

And also to understand the cost of learning. Do you spend time and effort to sharpen your saw? 

Also, connecting with people is super rich. 

I am so excited about how I am learning from a coach. 

Success journal 709: Long weekend with mother-in-law in Desaru Coast hard rock

After last Friday night 3-hour session in GESS, connecting with old friends through badminton and all the catch-up. Shannon and Chai Ann. I had to wake up at 0630hrs Saturday morning as we were going to Desaru. 

The trip was rather pleasant; door-to-door is about 4 hours. I set up a rig for Jayden to vlog and record his video. 

Reached Desarh around 1130hrs in the morning, and the room was already ready. The room air-cond was fantastic, and we immediately dropped all our things and went for a buffet lunch.

The spread wasn't amazing but was very affordable as seniors got half-price and kids ate free. 

After our fulfilling lunch, I brought the kids to the playground and back to the room. At the same time, Jenny walked with her mum around the hotel. 

We took a short nap, and we took a taxi to ostrich farm to check out some ostrich and have a few drinks there; we also went to the nearest city called, Sungai Rengit and checked out Petronas refinery complex, then we travelled back to Hotel. The transport cost me rm150. We then went to chill in their pool. They got music in the pool, and the vibe is relaxing.

After our pool session, we took a buggy to Westin for dinner. However, the restaurants were all fully booked. 

We took a shuttle bus back to Hard Rock and had dinner by the poolside. Mexican cuisine. End of our Day 1

Sunday Morning, we woke up around 0930hrs and rushed to the breakfast area. The queue was horrible. Luckily Jenny found a way in, and we skipped the queue. The breakfast was not too bad, the vibe was perfect, and their drinks selection was top-notch. 

A clown also makes balloons for kids, and a football field nearby. Love the vibes there. 

Right after our breakfast, we packed our things and went to the water park together with Jayden and Jenny. Jacob went back hotel room to rest with my mother-in-law. 

The water park is beyond my expectation, apart from the safety procedure, which is always my concern. Some of their parts are rusting off, and maintenance seems like an issue. These are tell-tale signs of an accident-prone park. We had fun in the water park, ask they got a mini roller coaster and a giant slide. The cost is about rm150 per pax. 

We brought Jacob out halfway, and he didn't like it as much. We spend a few hours in the water park. 

After our water park session, we took a short nap and took a taxi to the city for shopping. Jenny bought some chairs while I got some patches for myself. We then take a taxi to Lotus seafood restaurant for dinner. The vibe there is family-friendly, and the meal is relatively affordable. The restaurant is by the beach, and they got a green field for kids to play with bubbles and stuff. Great experience. 

We called it a day and went back home to rest. End of Day 2

Day 3

Jacob fell off the bed around 4 am; luckily, he was ok. We continued our sleep and woke up for breakfast. After breakfast, we did a 2v2 football session, and Jayden did well in his tackle. 

Took a shower and took our transport back to Singapore. We reach Singapore around 1330hrs.
