It was around 1943hrs. I waited for about 33mins in total and I am upset with Jenny. 

Life is tough

Work seems to be relaxed. Peace over progress 

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

Left work around 8 pm. Reached home around 9 pm. 

Had my meal and followed up with a bit of work.

Connected with Jenny, and we watched a movie together and slept. 

I was snoring quite severely, and she couldn't sleep. She was distraught in the morning, and I said sorry to her. 

After preparing myself to work, I then brought Jacob to our room. Jayden followed. Jayden did some somersault on our bed, and we started dancing to the music waka by Shakira. It was excellent and fun. Lifted the mood in the morning. 

Recently, we booked a trip to Kuala Lumpur with the family, and my mum is joining us too. We get to speak more together because this trip is excellent and fun. 

I also invited aunty Michelle to have a meal together this coming Sunday in Orchard, and she agreed. Looking forward to it. 

Success journal 566: connecting with my self.Big money will take big energy

I left work around 7 pm yesterday, connecting with myself at home and recharging. Locked the door and spent the night with me. Jenny came back relatively late, and we watched a movie together.

I skipped my meal yesterday as I was feeling full. 

Learn a bit making big money need big energy. 

Success journal 565: reignite our relationship

Left work at 1830hrs, took the bus 851 to boat quay. I asked Jenny to eat together in a Korean restaurant on the boat quay. 

We ordered a set meal, a jajiamien, seafood noodles and padak fried chicken.  

It was slightly too much for both of us, and I took away the seafood noodles. 

The ambient was good, Jenny shared her story at work, and I listened to it while eating my meal. We were in a rush, to be honest. Didn't get to enjoy the scenery. 

It was an excellent place to chill. Love it. 

After our meal, we then took mrt back to Novena. We reached home around 2130hrs. 

Love the amount of time we are spending together. 

Success journal 564: weekend post

I worked on Saturday. Left work early and had my dinner at home.

Woke up at 0830hrs, feeling recharged; we spent some time preparing at home and took bus no 5 to wonderful world city to have brunch with the hong kong group, Alex and his family, Theresa's family and Emily. Three families 👪 gathering in with cafe.

After our meals, we took a groupie together and we went home for a nap. 

Took a short swim after our nap and had simple dinner. 

Jenny and I went for a walk in Robertson quay, we wanted to hang out in publico for a drink, but it was fully booked. We then walked to Clark quay and had green tea parfait in one of the Japanese stores. 

After our bonding session, we took a bus back home and continued our bonding session. Seems like having two kids, these bonding session has been scarce. 

It was a good weekend. Love it.

Success journal 560: Connecting with people and Sunday budget

Sunday morning, went to church and connect with myself and Jesus. The session was rather boring with the pastor. But one thing I learn is to knock and the door shall open. Perhaps I will want to check what is out there. Donated $50. 

Law of attractions. 

After the church session, I brought jayden to merlion. We took bus to Funan, and walked to merlion. Took one photo and went back to Funan for McDonald's . He wanted cheeseburger and nuggets. I spent $20 for the meal with him. Love the moment we bond over meal. He got so much things to share with me and I find it entertaining. We talked almost about everything. Learn things one at a time. 

After our meal, i dropped Jayden back to home and went straight to Vivocity to meet Jenny. I reached there slightly earlier and spent some time in the library with myself, and a short nap 😄 

We then went for a meal in tam zhai Sam gor. Spent around $22 for the meal. Their noodles are getting expensive and portion is smaller now. We didn't order any drink and will get use to it. 

After our meal, we went to grab some food from NTUC and took a grab to Lucy place. That was $7 

We then spent the evening there in her place and chill for the night. There was like 10 of us.

We, Jenny Jayden and I, went for a two nights short trip to Bintan with Gerda, Martin, and Alexandra. On Saturday morning, we took the ferry from Tanah Merah terminal and left around 12noon. Reached there around 2 pm and checked into the room. I bought the welcome drink for all of us. 

We then joined the foam party in the pool and chilled. The pool is packed. After our foam party, we spent the rest of the time on the beach, letting the kids play with sand. 

We took a shower in our room and got changed for buffet dinner. Jayden stayed in their room overnight 

Day 2 

We woke up around 8 am and had breakfast together. Chilled by the pool. Met Steven and Leslie with their kids. They are leaving soon, so we didn't get to sit down together to mingle. After they left, we then moved to the beach to chill. I played my boomerang with another kid from the states. 

After the beach session, we had our lunch and moved on to the massage session in the banyan tree resort. It is a lot quieter there, and the Balinese massage was good. Gerda managed to get a 50% discount for the massage, which was good. We then went to the hilltop massage to pick up Alexandra and Jayden. The hotel staff cared for them while their mothers went for their massage sessions. 

We asked the staff if we could use the pool near the beach and the saffron restaurant. They allowed us as we had massage and dinner in the Banyan tree resort. It was so quiet we saw the monitor lizard. After Jenny and Gerda were done with their massage, we returned to our room to get changed for tonight's dinner in a Banyan tree resort restaurant. 

The Indonesian cuisine was not too bad apart from being too spicy for others. We spent like $310 on the meal, which was not cheap. 

After our meal, we played badminton together and went to our hotel room to sleep. 

Day 3

I had a quick breakfast and some reading. Took the shuttle bus to the terminal and headed back to Singapore. Relax for a bit and plan for my next trip.

Success journal 554: Sunday duty

 I am 37 this year, and I still have to work on Sunday.

Yesterday I reached the office around 8 am and conducted a toolbox meeting. My safety jumped because my supervisors did not reach me on time. After the meeting, I went to the office, and my client started to bombard me with questions. 

Walked around the site and went to the jubilee centre for lunch and nearby for a haircut. Came back office to sort out some paperwork and left work around 5 pm. 

Reached home, took a quick shower, and had dinner with my family. 

Took a bath with Jayden. Slept with him around 8 pm and watched stranger things 2 with Jenny. 

Success journal 553: Badminton session with colleagues

You know, people you play together bond together.

Success journal 550:Predicting Market with fifthperson

 I am grateful for resources to tap into in Singapore. Things I like are badminton, investing and videography. So let's see how do I leverage this to learn 

Went for dinner with colleagues yesterday; wong brought me to Bishan for a meal. 

After a meal came back home and took a warm bath while listening to the fifth person's video about predicting the market. 

They just played an entirely random card game and told us there is no way we can predict the market. 

Success journal 549: booked my trip to bintan and kk

I left work around 7 pm yesterday. Took a shower and meal and slept Jayden around 8 pm. He has been not feeling well. Perhaps too much of activities over the weekend. 

Followed up on some work and didn't do much after. 

Been very happy to book trips recently. I have booked a kk trip in September and a Bintan trip in July. It is a ticket to connect with people and relax.  

Success journal 548: Social weekend

Miss J is our house ambassador; she arranged social events for our kids and connected with people. 

Saturday morning, we Wentworth to the Cairnhill community centre to attend a bike control event organised by NC. The intention is to expose Jayden to cycling on two wheels. Registration is $20 and is a half-day event. 

The MP Alvin Tan was there, and he connected with me very smoothly. Adding value to my presence there. Immediately gel in by asking me a few questions and sharing his thoughts. He also connects with Jayden and  Jenny. Lovely. 

After guidance from the bike coach, I saw Jayden ride a few times on two wheels. After the event, when we were on our way home, Jayden started to ride on his own. Life skills 

Took a brief nap and stayed at home throughout tidying up the house. We had bbq skewers and played blockus. We also watched a bit of Dr strange. 

Sunday morning. Changed my cloth and went to church together with Jenny and Jayden. Enjoyed the zen session and doing nothing. Donated to the church. 

After church, I came home for lunch and rest. 

Left about 1430hrs to attend Jayden's classmate Jacob's sister's birthday. Which was somewhat awkward. Parents don't know each other. Jayden gets to enjoy the trampoline session, I guess. Said goodbye to Avery, and she waved at me before we left. She is very polite. 

After Avery's birthday celebration, we went to Richmond Park, a condominium a short walk from Orchard. We had a bbq party by the poolside. Very atas condo. Had a peek at their two bedders, and their layout is spacious. 

The rental for two bedders is around 5k here. 

We have Victor, Mona, Mona's Mum, Gerda, Martin and Sue. I felt very comfortable hanging out with them. Perhaps they are experienced and willing to share. For me is like mind-blowing stuff. We had lovely meat over there; sue marinated the chicken wings and prawns, Gerda brought the meat, and Mona brought cheesecakes 

Lovely weekend and hope more to come.

Success journal 547: Night out without kids

We try to eat out together as a couple, spend time together, and connect without kids. Grateful that Sally can take care of the kids. I left work around 1830hrs, hopped on the bus and managed to catch Jenny at the bus stop opposite turf club. She just finished her horse riding session. We decided to go out for a meal together. 

Yesterday found a burpple deal. 

I ordered ribs, and Jenny ordered steak with eggs. We also order two glasses of chardonnay. The meal cost us about 65 after the discount. Which I think is still relatively expensive.  

She shared about her work politics and her struggle at work.  Seems like this Ms C is giving her a lot of pain. 

It is almost the 1st time we dine out as a couple after our holiday. Life is not going to be easy moving forward. It is funny why these toxic people are around the companies. They can thrive in the modern economy. 

After our meal, we took a short walk back home. Jenny connected with her parents, and I connected with my parents before we walked home. It is my dad's birthday and her sister's wedding today. 

We showered and sleep

Success journal 546: OT OT OT

 Work until 2130hrs yesterday. Took a taxi home and watch movie with Jenny. Seems like I cannot afford this kind of lifestyle. Need to have discipline 

Watching stranger things is not building the mood conversation. 

Slept in around midnight. Feeling a bit tired in the morning. 

Did rebounding today, and took my supplement. Connect with Jacob. 

Success journal 545: The economy is fighting inflation by raising rates. Seems like stagflation is coming

 I worked till 9pm yesterday, took a taxi home which cost me around $8. Got a discount from grab. Reached home. It was requested by my boss and I had to stay back while he went back to spend time with his family. Can't say anything about it but maybe that is the benefit of being a superior. You will have the flexibility of going back early. 

Didn't bother to eat my dinner. Took a shower and prepare to sleep. 

Jenny was watching her TV and we connected while she share with me about her work stuff at work. It makes me wonder why do we keep poor performers in our team. 

After our sharing we turned off the light and went to bed. 

Woke up around 0635. Jacob pooed, i took shower in the guest toilet so Jenny can use the master bedroom toilet. She is going to work today and she will be waking up around 0645hrs. 

Everyone in the house is awake by 0645hrs, and I got my self ready for work around 0652hrs. Took my supplement but I forgot my rebounding today. Get to spend a few minutes with every family member. 

Left the house around 0701hrs, walked to United square bus stop and hopped on the bus 851 to work in AMK town garden West. The bus ride is about 20mins. 

I read about ray dalio article about the cost of fighting inflation. Stagflation. It was a great article saying what the central bank had done by raising interest rates and reducing people's spending. What he said make sense and seems like it is by reducing people buying power so less people can afford things so the chicken will not be as expensive. 

Living in Singapore has been relatively lucky because our earning power has been preserved over the years. Comparing to other countries. What I should be doing? How do I leverage from this article? To further study about stagflation. 

Success journal 544: Poor health

After all the binge eating and stuff, my health has been poor. Coughing, bad sleep, body ache muscle pain 

Have to cut down my calories and do exercise. Did rebounding today. Resume my salad 🥗 meal. 

If I don't have good health, how do I take care of my family, make money and stuff. 

Success journal 543: Standing for myself

 After work, I took a bus to change to terminal 2, an hour journey from work to fetch Jenny. 851 to Seletar and 858 to change. 

Reached terminal 2 around 1938hrs. She was waiting there, chatting with Jayden. 

We walked together to terminal 1 jewel to look for a restaurant for a meal together. 

We chose ding tai fung. We ordered a prawn cake, fried rice and xiao long bao. Cost us around 50++ 

I remember that was the price around this a few years ago. Probably I ordered less now 

The entire atmosphere is almost perfect until I asked a question if she is going to chai ann place to collect Thumper and Daisy 

Then we started to argue. Sad case 

Success journal 542: 1st day at work after a long holiday

 The office is busy and cold 

I stand outside of my workplace and write down the post yesterday as a reminder that I should be living a life worth living. 

Received a letter saying my health is abnormal. Have to cut down on my snacks and stuff. Eat normally. 

The thing with work and business is that we can pass down to the next generation that self-employed and owning a business is entirely business. Owning a business is that we hire people to run the business, while self-employed is that we need to be physically there. 

The company biggest problem is not making enough money to cover the expenses.
