Success Journal 978: what I brought to the table

Not enough 

Having a family here in SG, unless I am from a multimillion family. It seems that nothing is enough for the family. 

Working hard is not enough 

What is the solution? I have a plan through investing, which needs a lot of capital and time. 

Success journal 977: Parents teachers day

Took a CCL yesterday and brought Jayden and Jenny to ACS junior for parents' teachers' day 

Jayden started with an opening speech 

Saying his most memorable moment to be Mother's Day, would like to improve his Chinese.

We also visited the school compound, bought some stationery and left.

I had a coffee with Jenny for the afternoon to connect.

In the afternoon, I followed Jenny to Viva for an NC event. We went for a swim together with the kids, and they got a bouncy castle, popcorn and candy floss. 

Jenny connected with the MP, and Jayden spent time with his friends. I get to spend time with JJ

After the swim, we rushed to Singapore Turf Club for Jayden's polo lesson. 

Jayden did well, and we took a taxi to United Square for dinner in Sukiya. 

Sunday morning- I brought Jayden to rugby training and connected with John Vin's dad and Ling Lin. They shared about selling properties and buying freehold property. 

I am grateful to be connected with a property developer.

Success journal 966: Another great weekend with my family- Rugby, polo, Sven, date night with Jenny , dancing

1st, we met the teachers at St. James Children's Kindergarten. We met Ming Joo and Lili's teacher. They both explained to us how Jacob has improved a lot since term 1. And he has excellent leadership skills and getting work done. 

After meeting them, we went back home to change, and I had a one-to-one session with Jenny in Clueless Goat. We caught up with loads of stuff, and it seems we have not connected at such a level for the last time. Thanks to the infrastructure, we got a lot of support from our helper and my mother-in-law. 

After our meal, we went home to meet up with the kids. We had a quick lunch and took a nap. 

Jayden then went for his polo lesson in the turf club. He did canter with a single arm and without a saddle. He did fall off from a horse. 

But he got back quickly and continued to ride even though he was in pain. 

After horse riding, Jenny and I sent the kids back home, and we continued our adventure without kids. Seems like a date for us. We must schedule this date to maintain our relationship. 

We had dinner in Hey Kee near Geylang with Jenny's friends. Good to catch up with them. 

After the meal, we booked a car back and rested for another day. 

Sunday

We woke up early for Jayden's rugby lesson at Australia international school. At the same time, Jenny took Jacob to Gymnastics.  

I did catch up with John Vin's dad. We shared all the experiences taking care of the kids. 

After rugby, Jayden and I took a Grab dancing lesson. I think he was probably exhausted from all the activities. 

We had lunch with my mother-in-law, Jenny, Sally, Jacob and Jayden.  After the meal, we quickly go to HSBC SVEN in the Stadium. We met rugby superstars, and we got 14 autographs from world-class players. 

After the finals, we rushed back home, had dinner and rested. 

My left hip-to-leg socket and joint were still in pain while I was writing this. 

Success journal 965: walk in the morning with Jenny

Connecting with Jenny has been a very high-priority matter in maintaining the family.

Seems like I am putting a lot of effort into the family to gain her trust. 

Success journal 964: Labour Day - Tiffany's birthday

We were invited to Lauren's birthday party. 

It was near our house, and we were invited to the main table to connect with them. 

We were very honoured to be invited and happy to discuss about it. 

They even took a photo of us 

Pulling out all our social skills. I told myself it was not about us. It is more about the kid. Jayden and Jacob had loads of fun.
