Success journal 585: movie night and instant noodles with Jenny

We went to visit lee in Yishun, he broke his arm.

Success journal 584: Dialogue with bosses

Seou and Crist asked for a conversation. 

About disturbing subcons bosses 

About energy 

About low morale 

Success journal 583: waited for 33min.

Left work around 1830hrs. Took a bus to Amk interchange and rode to Dhoby Ghaut to new Jenny. 

Work wasn't pleasant today 

And when I reached dhoby ghaut around 1910hrs, I called Jenny, but she didn't answer. I went straight to Muji and queued at the restaurant. Not a big fan of queueing and hated when I queued alone. Very unproductive. After queuing for a while, I got a nice seat. I called Jenny, but she didn't answer. Waited for another 10mins, not feeling well with my stomach and I left. Upset. It was around 1943hrs. I waited for about 33mins in total and I am upset with Jenny. 

Life is tough

Success journal 579: Roomalone

I tend to start my blog with jenny. Seems like I have built a life surrounding her. Maybe not that healthy. Need to change to 1st person and more things about myself and the things I love to do. 

Badminton, videography, property and stock investing. I need to keep reminding myself 

Success journal 578: left home early and connect with Jenny via phone

Jenny is working overseas in Vietnam. She is staying in a fancy hotel 🏨  

I left work around 1830hrs. 

Reached home and connected with Jenny over the phone. Recovering from all the rushing days 

Need to have the discipline to work on things that matter

After that, I was called back for work. Had a bit of lunch with family. 

Went back to work for a bit and went for badminton. It was great, and I met two new friends. Jimmy and Edison. 

After our badminton session, I joined the bbq in Mona's place. Spent the night with hong kong families. I played badminton with Cedric on a tennis court. Hahaha

Woke up late too, and spent some time on the bed watching badminton videos and BBT. Tidy up things at home and go out for brunch with Jenny's friends. After our brunch, we came home for a nap and continued to hang out with Kamin and yuyen at Kamin's place.

Success journal 574:Long weekend with my family and my Mother in KL

Day 1 6/8/2022 Saturday 

We chose KL for our Singapore long weekend holiday. Booked a MAS flight for the family, and we met my mother at the airport. We flew last Saturday afternoon and reached KL around 1630hrs. Met my mother around 1700hrs, and we picked up the car and went straight for Hokkien mee in old Klang road. 

After that, we checked in our chick hotel in KL Central called the loft. The decoration is very hip, and they even got a play area for the kids near the booking place. 

Best of all, they get a complimentary mini-bar for us. We spent our night together chit-chatting and taking care of Jacob. 

Day 2. 7/8/2022 Sunday 

We woke up and looked for the dim sum from Google, and I found the jing Xuan dim sum. The dim sum was terrible and not cheap. We spent like 100++, and it was entirely not worth it. My mum shared with me that my snoring woke up Jacob earlier while he was sleeping next to me. 

After our terrible breakfast, we then went shopping in mid valley. According to Jenny, it was a complete waste of time. 

We had a nice lunch in antipodean. 

After lunch, we returned to the hotel, took a nap, and ventured around KL for good food. We went sek yuen restaurant, and it was lovely. My mum picked up the bill. Jacob was a darling, and the table full of youngsters next to us was having fun with him. 

After our delicious dinner, we went to drive around KL and stopped at Bukit Bintang for a quick milk powder run. 

That is the end of our day 2. 

Day 3 8/8/2022 Monday 

Genting highland day trip- We started our journey from Genting around 9 am; we all packed in a Nissan and drove a 45mins ride from the kl center to the Awana station. Booked all my tickets in the morning with klook; their vouchers are direct entry tickets, which were hassle-free. 

We reached the Genting Highlands Premium Outlet around 10 in the morning. We then quickly took a cable ride to Sky Avenue. I love the weather. It was good. I could spend more time in Genting Highlands, although the pricing here is almost like Singapore. 

Jayden was very excited. I didn't get to spend much time with my mum when I got two kids around me. All of us are. I'm just too busy to connect. Going through the motion. 

We spent the whole day in Genting chilling, eating, and spending time in the indoor theme park. I bought four tickets which I should not. Should have just bought two as we can walk around the indoor theme park with jayden. So the other tickets are not necessary. 

After playing those rides, we took our cable car back to Awana Station for shopping. I was in charge of taking care of Jacob while Jenny went shopping with my mum and Jayden. There was an l

The playground there, and Jacob and I spent our time there playing with other kids. It was a joy to spend time with him.

After  that we had a bit of drama having dinner there. We end up having marry brown chicken as they don't have non-spicy chicken and burger king burgers. We then drove back to KL and called it a day. I seem to have an issue with the ordering part. Maybe I am more of a person without much consideration while making choices, or I am just not picky about my food. I should raise my standard because when I don't care, people will give me shit. 

Day 3 9/8/2022 Tuesday 

Fly day- We woke up at 0730hrs. Packed our things and got ready. We then checked out from the hotel. The hotel overcharged us for 40% of the total bill. Jenny settled that with their management, and they honored the bill. 

I dropped them off in the departure gates and I went to drop off the car. Said goodbye to my mother as she is going to KLIA 2 and we boarded our plane back to Singapore. 

Success journal 573: Newton Food Centre

Long day for me as my team is struggling with feedback from residents. 

Left work around 8 pm. Reached home around 9 pm. Got a call from Jenny, and she invited me to join her at Newton Food center. She said hup kee serve the nice oyster omelet 

We spent sgd30 for the night, including a bottle of Asahi for myself. Would love to go again. 

I will have an incoming of 50k ringgit. 

Now is to take care of my health. Stay active and eat healthily 

Success journal 572: Consistency, not a robot and flu

Even my robot would ask me to maintain him now. Mr. Marvel our latest addition gadget to the family that helps to sweep our floor and mop once a day. It would request to clean its sensors periodically.

I have been snoring badly, probably because I gained much weight during covid. 

Tired and didn't sleep well

Success journal 571: Connecting with my family

Feeling in control, work had some drama yesterday. The tech team went all in to fight for the endorsement. 

I am in between. Not much say when it comes to drawing endorsement. 

I think I need to be more precise and have a better memory. Don't let others put words into my mouth. 

Back home, around 8pm++, I had dinner and spent some time with my family. 

Slept at around 10 pm.

Success journal 570: Rules of power

Power is a dark art; it took me a while to understand its importance. Looking at my situation at home, being accommodating and understanding is not for the long run as my kids disrespect me. Start reading rules about power. To gain some power and control in life. A great reminder. 

Success journal 569: Connected with friends and also jayden great-aunt weekend

Had a long weekend. It was good as we got more team members to cover the job now. 

Saturday was a transition for the weekend. I got jade seng to cover the site duty. 

In the morning we had breakfast together with my boy, then we played some piano together. After that, we sent Jayden to a Piano lesson in United square. Jenny and I went for a quick lunch in Shanghai Tang; we ordered xiao long bao and sheng Jian bao. 

After our quick lunch, we then went to fetch Jayden. Took away some chicken rice for him to bring home. Upon reaching home, we went for a quick swim in the pool. It was so relaxing. Jacob joined the fun. After our quick swim, we then took a nap. After my nap, I then pack my badminton stuff and left home for Joo Chiat cc. I went for badminton in Joo Chiat around 1630hrs. They are chai and friends. I only know William. He seems very friendly and pleasant. 

Ended the session around 1830hrs and left home. Reached home around 2000hrs. We had chicken Karage for dinner. 

After our meal, I just hung around and slept. 

Sunday morning, we had pancakes for breakfast. I went to church and donated $50. The message is about money which I find boring apart from the spent 15m per year on their expenses. 

I then walked to Teresa lam place, as the kids had a playdate together. I made a video about them here 

It was fun to spend time together with the kids. The place is fantastic. Love it. 

After our playdate with Teresa and Emily, we quickly changed and took a bus to the orchard. We were on time, found a place and had our lunch with grand-aunt Michelle. 

We walked for a few hours in Orchard, and everyone was exhausted. Had some tea and cake in Dal Kom and we went back home. 

Had steamboat for dinner and called it a day.

My weight is 87.3kg
