Grateful for a day off. Get to spend time with the family in the stable, then we took a taxi to anchor point for McDonald's.

After our breakfast and catch-up 
We then moved to IKEA.

Jenny wanted to buy a mattress, we also bought alot of other stuff

We end up buying alot of stuff where we will not be able to bring around. 

After IKEA, went back home to rest, had some snacks, dinner and went to gentle drive for the Halloween trick and treat. 

The kids have loads of fun.

Success journal 1051: Soldier through difficult period

As usual, work late 

Reached home around 10pm. 

Took my dinner, shower and lay in

Sats went up to $4, seems like got some insider news brewing in before the report on the 8th. Or people are just greedy wanting to lock in the dividend 😞 

I am holding a portion of cash, waiting for opportunity to buy in again. Looking at the businesses around the world. It is not easy to make money. 

Cost is terribly high and with inflation, unless the business can transfer the cost to the consumer efficiently. Otherwise, it is challenging to be sustainable. 

People are constantly looking for cheaper and better options. 

Stocks I am holding are currently 
CRCT
Sats 
Ireits

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 🤩

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

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

Things are trying to take my me-time away

Work, family commitments etc.

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

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.
