Success journal 1109: Weekend with the Jayden and Jacob

Saturday

Brought the kids out to the new playground in gardens by the bay. 

After that, we went back lunch to relax and then I brought Jayden to audition

Night we did dinner and then a movie night 

Sunday 

Woke up early and brought Jayden to rugby. It was very emotional and he cried after the game. That is because he didn't do well and couldn't get his game kit 

Another thing I noted is that Jayden is not addressing people nowadays. 

Reminded him about the importance of this. 

After that we went dancing lesson in Prinsep street. I went back home to do my stuff and went back to pick Jayden up at 1330hrs. 

I then brought Jayden to orchard cineleisure for Oliver and Thadeus birthday party. 

Only 10 boys were invited 

1.Oliver

2.Thadeus 

3.Jayden 

4.zachary

5. Justin 

6. Ruben

7. Giian

8. Joseph

Jayden had a great time. 

After that, brought him to McDonald's. And then home.

Jacob and I,  We did a swim for a while, I took Jacob float out so he will get used to it. 

We then had our dinner at home.

Last we ended up with piano and homework. 

Success journal 1108: Jenny to Europe for 22 days

Bid farewell to Jenny in the bus stop this morning. 

She will be embarking a horse riding trail in Europe for 22 days. 

Success journal 1107: Running in little india mrt, dinner with Jenny in Hong Kong street

While I am around rochor station, I received a message from Jenny that she is travelling on 851 from bugis

I immediately get off from little india station and run to exit A bus stop to catch her 851. 

It was definitely a sprint that I had in a long time. Grateful that I am able to catch her and we end up having dinner together in Hong Kong street.  

It cost us around $52. Inflation has been crazy. I remember the same meal we had a few years back would only cost us around $30++

Success journal 1106: Recession seems like is coming

I have invested about 60% of my portfolio and the Recession is coming. 

Investing based on my plan 

Things that I am focusing is 

1. Health 

2. Wealth 

3. Marriage 

Yesterday we did kids-free night. 

Success journal 1105: Bonding, health, wealth and marriage

I am grateful that Jenny and I get to bond together. Working on night shift has been not easy on maintaining the family bonding time. 

Have to give up many things. 

A few priorities I have set recently 

1. Health 

2. Wealth 

3. Marriage 💒 

It means I should focus on this and I have set the kids free night with that. 

Another mindset I am working on is 

To eat less than I burn

To spend less than I make 

To invest the difference 

Efficient with time 

Success journal 1104: Night shift good Friday

I am getting into the working night shift week

Listening to podcast 

Invested in tencent, apparently Jayden's game is by tencent 

Success journal 1103: get to spend some time with my kids in the day

The good thing about going night shift is that I get to spend some time with my kids. 

Success journal 1102: Start of my night shift, Mr Market acting, health deteriorating, lookout for my blood pressure

Was going through my notes and was surprised with things that I have written down in the past

It is important to think outside the brain. 

To think on paper. 

My health has been an issue recently. High blood pressure is coming in the way and I am taking solid actions to cut down my sugar and also my calories intake. 

Mr Market has been very challenging too. 

Act according to my plan. Grateful that I am acting accordingly.

Yesterday I nibbled tencent and also sats. 

To buy following up with my plan.

Success journal 1100: Grateful for the badminton session, stay calm

Stock market continue to drop

Continue to stay calm

Success journal 1109: HSBC sevens, work, dizzy, trump tariffs, stock plunged

My health is not doing well, have to control my diet.

Stock plunged, all the ones I am holding were down around 10% - I must stay calm and relax 

Went to rugby sevens with Jayden over the weekend. A great father and son bonding time. 

We were together the whole day, from rugby session, to dancing then to rugby again. 

As usual, I overeat, and not feeling well after. Need to be sensitive to my diet. 

Success journal 1108: Sinking in to work, get shouted in a meeting

I am in a industry where randomness is very frequent. 

It is very unfortunate that my new boss is the shouting type. 

Yesterday, I and my colleague went into a meeting with the new boss. From the start of the meeting, we get shouted already. 

It was very disturbing and I am not sure if it is adding value to the team with that. 

Money is not easy to make. 

My baseline is if I couldn't sleep and eat at night thats it. 

Success journal 1107: improvising my routine

Been grateful that the new project for me is not too bad.
