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.

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 and connecting with others are so important to me. 

I broke my racket.

Rebounding and setting up atomic habits for myself to be more efficient 

Mindset for myself. Eat less than I burn, spend less than I make, invest the difference and be efficient with time. 

Spent some good quality time with my boy 

I also got connected with my brother yesterday about the company issue part. We lost 700k last year, which is unbearable and difficult to continue. The next challenge for me is to tackle the difficult conversation with my family. Have to put things on the table.

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.
