1st leave of the year

On leave today.  As usual, usually more busy and tired when you are on leave…. 

Took my Mum to polyclinic for referral to hospital for her eye cataracts.  Finally got to do this today.. I was delaying and dragging…. 

Then to Jurong Point for eating and grocery shopping at NTUC.  Then I went to see gold chains… Wah, I didnt know gold chains were so expensive…. 

Finally ended my shopping with my parents and ME time now.  Going for Steven Ang appointment….. 

I finally get to have a proper Root Beer Float….. 

Happy Birthday Papa

Happy Birthday, Papa. 

Wishing you good health and happiness. 

The life pendants I asked to do for them also arrived today.  May all things go well.  

我和我最爱的家人，平安，幸福，健康，快乐！

妈妈，生日快乐

Was too hungry when I ordered the food.  Only remembered to take photo halfway. 

Mama’s birthday.  Took her out for a walk at Bugis.  

妈妈， 生日快乐。

祝你平安，健康，快乐。 

Long time since I joined the taxi queue and took a cab home.  And someone cut my queue.  Directed the cab driver and paid cash - long time since I did that…. 

1 Jan 2022

1st day of the year.  Woke up early and went to find my parents at the market.  

I am a neighbourhood girl - still prefer places like those old neighbourhood - my previous and current house.  

The first time I visited a nursery and the first time I went to visit a nursery on the 1st day of the year.  Needed to get some plants for my house.  

Normal plants but I feel great after buying them.. And I am glad I got the nursery people to help me repot - they did a great job! 

31 Dec 2021

Spent the night at YP new house. 

Kaeden’s cries did the countdown for us…. 

Steamboat as usual.  Chit chatted when Kaeden fell asleep.  

Countdown with my BFFs. 

Goodbye 2021, Welcome 2022

2021 passed by, just like that. 

I dont remember doing anything significant this year.  

A year of paying instalments.  I remembered spending alot in 2020, all bought via instalments.  Hence I spent the year paying it back. Now that the year ended, also end of the instalments.

Well I guessed the “significant” thing I did was to register for some so-called free investment webinar, spent USD499 for a 5-day investment course.  The 5-day course was like a refresher of all the things I learnt in school (but forgotten now due to no usage), all was familiar yet new to me. Thing is I didnt continue to spend the $5k… I still not sure if it was the right or wrong thing to do. 

And hence this investment objective bugged me for the remaining of the year, until now.  And so the selling point of the entire objective is that you can earn passive consistent income… I was still skeptical about it until LY told me she was into it also and yeah, she earned money.  

So… Been wanting to try also.

Anyways I realised something about myself - I overthink and scared to do scheming or wrong things.  May think about it but wont really get into action.  

Oh 2021 was also not a good health year for me - knees aching, dizzy etc… 

Goodbye to all the goods and bads.  

Turning 39 in 2021 and reaching 40, it makes me think alot.  What I have been doing and what I want to do.  As much as I can remember, for the past 8-9 years (since my last relationship) I have been living for my family - everything was for them and etc.  I lived with the thinking that if they were happy, I will be happy too. 

But I came to realise that - actually no, it wasnt the case.  If I myself is unhappy, they wont be happy too.  And I need to live for myself too. So I guess the best situation is I need to be happy, if my ultimate goal is for them to be happy. 

Conclusion is I need to live for myself. At this point in time, my goal is to move out and live alone.  But at this point, I still dunno how to make it happen other than saving up and spending less. 

Nonetheless, lets hope for the best.  At least now, I have a goal.  

Welcome 2022!
