Success journal 1123: Portfolio is healthy, body to take care, looking badminton session

My stock portfolio has been good. Although everyone is talking about Recession. Sats is making me good money, and would love to see the stock dropped for 2.6 and climbed to 3. With that oscillation, I will keep buying at 2.6. one thing to monitor is Singapore's tourist arrival. I think that is a very important factor for me. 

Another stock I am pretty happy about it is my tencent. Unfortunately I just nimbled a bit. 

For unknown reason, ireits climbed 10% yesterday.

I recently opened my ibkr account. Going to fund them soon so I get to access overseas stocks. 

Health could be better, the trip to JB and stress from work has contributed to my overeating habit. 

I must change, I am taking care so many people around me, they are relying on my. 

For Jenny part, she has been a dear. After her night call, we would chat for abit at night. She shared about her back isnt straight enough and need to wear a support while riding to fix her posture. 

She also mentioned about her work, how her boss screwed up the presentation. While she is sharing her encounter and feelings, I am also reading a book one up on wall street. Is a very easy to read book and I am glad I found it.

Yesterday reached home about 1939hrs, did a deal selling the router for 140, feels like an extra and unless I upgrade my wifi or router. I am running on 5g and the coverage is ok. 

After selling my stuff, we did a short walk around the neighbourhood. Jenny Jayden and I. JJ went to sleep. I had my gin and coke zero before my walkm 

We did a 5min sharing and we get to catch up with each others in life. 

Apparently Jenny talked about her work, that she will have to delivery some bad news to stack holders and today she will be riding her horse. She also mentioned about impero is being box rest for a period of time.
