 Grateful things for the past two days

1) Sitting on a table with the kids and interacting with them during our family dinner

2) Chit-chat with cousins (HS and JJ) on Sat night. Went out for late supper too/ finally tried the famous Nasi Lemak Kg Baru

3) Spending time with Ping over drinks on Friday night

4) Received free tickets for TGV movie. most likely wanna watch the Chinese movie.. just a matter of finding kaki to go with me (tickets are from Leng jie2)

5) Watching Shi Heng Yi's video on youtube. very inspiring and a very good self-help resource

Self-reflection

I could have said no in a better way to big sis on why I am not keen on taking photo.

I need more discipline to ensure I get all my daily tasks done (commitment that cannot be wavered)

Straight to the point

Sometimes, it is important to keep silence and just listen.

Try to understand first.

Try to put yourself in other people's shoes ie empathy?

What are you grateful about today? That i manage to exercise twice! one for yesterday, and one for today.

Grateful that I can talk to my dad even though I am somewhat frustrated. I think it is not a big deal, so I should better myself when it comes to how I treat him. 

Understand the problem first, then find the solution before reacting to it

Treated my family for both lunch and dinner. I don't know why, but i feel like it is my job now... Maybe because I am the youngest and I am also s guy.... I feel responsible to do so

Tmr will gamble! Hope to win some money

Ideally best thing tomorrow is that sister and Eddie medical checkup is all good! Then, my fcpo contacts return to 3900s. 🙏 

230124 마마무 tickets!

Spent the start reading my own bazi

Then went out for abt 2hrs with dad, had lunch and walk around starling mall. Talked about insurance policy. Also, then, made the invitation to yvonne to join for dinner this Thursday.

Had bkt with family for dinner. It is OK only. Soup could be better. Dessert (dao) as usual was awesome! 

We went decathlon after that and I bought a hiking sandals which I planned to double its use as both hiking and casual going out shoes. 

Slept not long after reaching home

Grateful that I manage to buy my tickets to attend mamamoo concert! 

230122 first day of CNY

Grateful: spend some time with Ewan. Talked to ja abt big sis, gave most of the souvenirs already for cny. 

Ticket sale for mamamoo is On! 

Reflection: should have put in more effort to complete my daily tasks, play less FM,

What else I can do better? Maybe shouldnt talk so much abt ppls stories (hl's)

Dream of mom on Sunday. It was a long dream, I don't know what happened but I end up crying on her. :l

Ja is back.

Work is smooth this Monday. Sort out what I wanted to sort. To continue on Tuesday. 🙏

Also, I wonder why Tricia's mom always bake cookie for me. 😅 Feel so paiseh.

What can I do better today? Slack less. Should focus on clearing your daily items

Picked dad up. Gald he is healthy. I think we have a very good serious discussion about where he plans to go next (US or Aussie), his view on vaccination, on ukraine v Russia, on supplements and covid. He does seem quite ration and reasonable to some extent ie his points are valid points. However, the direction of his view still feels somewhat influenced by various conspiracy theories spread by others over the internet. 

Went to office. Discussed matters with Chris (significant progress) 

Catch up with Tse Yee n ks. Nice chat for approximately 2.5hrs

Things I can learn from today 

Accept dad for who he is. 

Explain your reasons for doing certain things so it is easier for others to process your actions 

Stay calm and breathe. Don't panic! 

trading

 i am also glad / grateful that my trading is doing very well for the local market. :)

Hangedout with eve for dinner. We tried this korean resto at curve. Wasn't cheap but the food ain't bad. Downside is not a lot of side dishes and they don't serve free 물.

Bought myself a hyacinths from ikea. Should be fun. 

Met ping earlier for the doggie photos above. So cute la..... 😅 These two are so obedient and good dogs... 

Major thing that I am glad is that my budget using the app is active and alive! Woo hoo! 

Worth investing my whole Sunday or not? I think time will tell.

things I am happy for

Thu and friday

My medical is OK! Overweight, but ok! 

Manage to clear a few stuff into recycling center. 

Sorted out the dehumidifiers packs. Sorted the keys pack

A lot of sorting done

Things I could do better: play less. Do more work. Have proper sleep and focus on things I want to do.

And do important things first. 

Lately I have been feeling sleepy each time I m in my room when I m not playing.. 

But I think this have always been the case in the past.

To plan to more work outside of the room instead.

greatful?

Recap last two days

Productive, quite but didn't manage to clear my daily to do list

Liverpool lost to Brentford, unhappy about it but that's part of the game

Meeting with OGN went smoothly.

Home inspection was good, manage to detect several big problems (which I am not sure I would have if I have checked myself)

Down side for the last two days. Didn't manage to reduce food consumption (went out with tseyee for dinner AND dessert)and had instant noodle for lunch 🙈

Now waiting for med checkup. Fingers crossed! 

shouldn't have done it.

Caught up with May @ yellow Brick Road today. Yellow Brick Road moved from batai to the old help business school area.

They really made this place quite modern, can take mrt to this area next time. 

Played crew with kf ccw ailin dee. Quite fun. 

Met with eve in the evening. 

Now continue to chap my budget and portfolio stuff. 👊💪

Grateful 

1 Grateful I didn't make any snide remarks and wasn't angry at cal for asking abt my profit for the year. Learning to accept friends as is. 

This takes time to practice . 

restarting my journal

To reflect on 2022 / last week

What could I done better? Follow my bazi guide to invest in more stocks and use my mentors wisely 

Have more empathy, esp with family and friends ie big sis and ks

Learn to reduce idle time. Your idle time and wasting time watching show on repeat have increased. Even though you play less games these days but you don't increase the utilization of time on beneficial activities. 

Meditating is lacking. You need to restart your meditation if you want to gain  discipline. 

Contentment. Be content with your life. I think I am most of the time. I don't ask for a lot and I have more accepting of the situation I am in. Just focus on doing what you can. There is no need to let emotions take over your mind. 

Finishing up your outstanding books. I like to read more books but at the same time, I don't want to finish a book just for the sake of finishing it. I want to take away something each time I finish reading a book. I want to be able recall what is the book about and the big gist of it. So, this 2023, I will read new books but at the same time, I like to reread some old ones and update the notes. The intention is to take away something each time you read. Preferably convert it into action 

Grateful. What an I grateful about? 

1- that I managed to earn 25k in the last 1.5 months. Very very happy that I manage to gain some profit in the local market.

2- that I follow the trend in trading the local market. I take action when it reaches support level and exit when it is at resistance, whether the resistance is a horizontal line, Ema or outside Bollinger band. 

3- I think I am very pleased with yesterday's self review for the year. I manage to convert itu daily tasks and to do list so that I can take action on it. 

It is long but I have to follow the prices process of building good new habits. Plus old habits are difficult to change so I need to work on it every harder (by replacing it with new healthier habits)
