Success journal 1043: Weekend with family

Holding previous time with family is essential. 

I am grateful that I could manage to do that. 

I am grateful that I get to have my badminton sessions. Twice a week

Success journal 1042: Connect with myself, listen to my body, call from school

I am grateful that Jenny is able to support the family while working. Thanks to Sally too. 

Yesterday we received a call from school about Jayden teasing others, not being neat with his handwriting , and not paying attention 

We are devastated. 😞 

Success Journal 1041: Podcast, badminton, family

Jenny has pampered me with her trust and she is taking care of the family. 

So I get to go badminton session etc 

success journal 1040: Been A while

Time flies, especially when I watch them grow up. 

I have to rush back home from work to have dinner with them. 

Grateful to be able to spend time with my kids and Jenny. They are adorable. 

Success journal 1039: Controlling my time

I am grateful for standing up for my badminton time, personal time etc. 

Jayden and JJ request for money 💰 

I am grateful for this 

Success journal 1038: Jenny's sister and mum

The house is pleased. 

Grateful. 

Success Journal 1037: Fruitful weekend with the family

Saturday off spent time with the family. I had breakfast with my family on a Hong Kong day. Aircond is not running well

After that, we went to the street dance mania. 

We spent the afternoon there and had an atas yum cha in Wahlok. 

Picked up Jayden from the dance studio and headed back home. 

Sunday, brought Jayden to rugby for the Centaur tournament. His team managed to get the champion for their age group. Jayden did well. We are proud of him. 

After rugby, we had a quick lunch in Lazada One food court. Jenny was over the moon. 

Recapping the rugby game. 

We then went to the studio for the dance showcase. Apparently Jayden's team is the crown jewel for All That Jazz street dance team. They ended the street dance mania with their performance. 

The host also asked for an impromptu dance from them. From the request, I can see Jayden's leadership. He did step up and organised his team to perform. Grateful for this part. 

After the dance, we had a drink in nana green tea. To chill out. Rushed back home to see JJ. 

We have been neglecting him for the whole day. Felt guilty. 

Spent quality time with him. 

Grateful that he is adorable 🤩 

Success journal 1036: JB trip passport renew

Listening to podcast investor podcast

Woke up in the morning at 0530hrs, left the house around 0615hrs, took the 0650hrs bus and reached JB around 0730hrs 

Walked to the nearby Mall Galleria and waited front of the glass door. 

When the glass door opened, people rushed into the mall and ran to the 2nd floor. 

I did an online renewal, and I managed to cut through many of them. 

There was a trick that we had to printout the receipt 

The process is meeting my expectations, I managed to get my passport renewed around 2 pm, including some work-from-home time and lunch. 

After 2 pm, I rushed home and spent time with my family. 

Reached home around 1630hrs. Bought them 

Pizza and rotiboy. They loved it. 

Jenny and I spent some time together having bubble tea. 

Success journal 1035: weekend with the family

Been stretched over the weekend as usual. 

Grateful for that and it keeps me running.

I guess is more like riding a bicycle. You have to keep going to. 

Brought Jayden to rugby and dance

Birthday party for ting ting. 

Back home rest 

Library and dinner with Jenny friends

Success journal 1034: Love from my family

On weekday badminton nights, I spent little time with my family. 

We are talking about minutes here. 

Sometimes, I felt speaking with Subcon was more than my whole family together. 

I am grateful that my family is very supportive. Jenny packed a snack box for me. She is always driving the extra mile. 

Success journal 1033: My me-time

Things are trying to take my me-time away

Work, family commitments etc. 

Protecting it is challenging

What happened yesterday? There was a hoo-ha on the brown's burial. 

I was asked to cancel my me-time. I came out with a proposal

I left work earlier and came home to spend time with my kids. Convinced Jenny to go to Hopper for the burial. Then I take a taxi to my badminton session 

Success journal 1032: Connecting with the parents , brownie past away

Sunday morning, I heard Jenny shout and cry while I was in my bed. 

I rushed out to check her out and saw that she was holding brown brown. Motionless. 

Jenny was doing CPR on brown brown. 

Brown brown passed away. 

After that, we brought brown brown to a pet crematory in Kaki Bukit. We all cried heavily while brown was put on the table. 

Cost me 200 for the cremation. 

After the ceremony,  we took Jayden to dance class, while Jenny and I went to Starbucks for breakfast. We had the $8 value meal. 

We then went back to the studio to meet JJ and Sally. They joined us from gymnastics. 

After a short wait, chat with Jayden's dance mate's parents. We then took a bus to Chloe's place. We had a whale of time really nice to see the kids enjoy themselves hanging out together and we get to relax and have food. 

After the gathering I then took a taxi to chijmes for ted kok tien's birthday get together. Happy to spend time together with my mates. 

After that, I went back home, brought Jenny to united square to get some snacks for the remaining rabbits, Oreo and daisy, some poh cai pills. 

Back home for dinner, spent time with the family myself and rest. 

Grateful for a short and packed weekend. 

Success journal 1031: time for myself

A badminton session is time for myself.

Grateful that I get to have that

Sometimes is something that we have to fight for 

Success journal 1030: Been sick, spent time recovering, time with family and celebrated JJ bday.

Due to MC. 

I took a two-day MC. 

Had a hearty breakfast with Jenny in coffee beans. Spent a good morning time with her. 

Went to see a doctor for some issues with my lymphatic nodes. Swollen 

Resumed my badminton sessions in Balestier

Grateful 

Bought an investment book about choosing a wonderful company with free cash flow.

Success journal 1027: Supportive family

I am grateful, Jenny is very supportive. Bringing up the kids 

Updating me their development

And her mindset is very important.

My career is a bit challenging. 

Success journal 1026: Bus stop routine

Sometimes, Jenny will bring JJ to follow me to the bus stop. 

Along the journey, we will hang out in the Thomson Road playground. Today, I played seesaw with JJ. There are so many things I cannot make it with JJ. I miss this moment. 

JJ was riding his balancing bike, and he gets to be very familiar with his bicycle now. He bumps into the kerb. 

I am grateful I get to share some of these moments with my family during this challenging time. 

Success journal 1025: Stable emotion

Being emotionally stable is one of my traits.

Despite all the hoo-ha, I continue to contribute to the family and work

Success journal 1024: exhausted

After work, while I am travelling back home. I feel like going to another workplace.to discharge my role as a dad. Changing hats 

The space I have in a bus is the transition. 

From a toxic environment to a positive 1. 

Success journal 1023: How Jenny and I got together and now have two kids together

I believe I got a post somewhere ten years++ back. Just writing down how we got connected to refresh my memory 

I went to an event, an expo. I met her there. I don't think I got her number, but I did get her name and stuff. I wrote her as Miss J

After the event, we decided to hang out and eat in Clark Quay. We went for a drink together 

And I remember she said ( very close to me)I will fly back to celebrate your birthday. 😍 

To be continue 

Success journal 1022: Consistency is key

Doing the same time and expecting different results.

Invest the different 

Efficient with time

Success journal 1021: family time, focus on what is important, 1st thing 1st

Focus on what is important .

Success journal 1020: investment, work and twin engine

Glad that some of my investment is working out. I tell you that the investment I make the most money in is when I leave it untouched. 

Grateful

Success Journal 1018: Yoshi, calm before storm

Kamin and Christ picked up Yoshi last night, and with heavy hearts, we passed Yoshi back. 

It is essential to be a great conversationalist. To make people feel comfortable 

Loose is the word- when it comes to handling my PRO

Success journal 1017: Hanging there

The world is my Oyster 

Be resourceful 

Get help, as much as we can 

Be stronger 

Success Journal 1016: Mr Yoshi pet

Kamin passed us their pet Dog, Yoshi

The whole family is very excited about it 

Brought them out for a walk at night and connected with neighbours.  

Seems like the stigma is broken with Yoshi around.

Success Journal 1015: Race to the bottom?

Last week, the market had some reaction. 

I am grateful I am using CDP to invest. Less noise, less distractions 

I am listening to Howard marks podcast 

Success journal 1014: soldier it through

People go up and down in life 

I am the pillar for my family; sometimes, they may not be aware of it. 

Success Journal 1013: Tough life

It is never easy; don't settle for less. 

Push stronger. 

The last few days have been very stretched from all directions. My two kids, my wife, my work. I have to put up a boundary. Cannot afford to be stretched 

Success journal 1012: Friday night with family

Jenny brought the whole family to amk to have dinner with me.

Seems like things are falling apart at work. 

People are leaving the company 

Toxic culture 

Demanding management 

Success journal 1009: End of July 2024

Is interesting month 

My relationship with Jenny is getting stronger. Perhaps the two kids are doing a great deal to bond with us. Family time has been good

However, money has always been an issue in our family. Very tight for both of us.  Many commitments 

After ten years of investing, I now have six figures invested. Mixtures of bonds, shares and REITs. I feel more defensive when I hit 40 years old. 

Still looking at the 7 figure portfolio in another ten years.
