It’s a long start of the year – what I have been busy with?

Posted on January 14, 2024January 14, 2024 by careyourpresent

It’s a long start of the year – what I have been busy with?

It’s been a long while since I posted anything. It’s been a very busy January 2024. I started the year with the typical 9 to 5 work of course! It’s a very busy work year. But luckily started with the news of my increment amount and bonus, not bad!

I have also a written a long post about 2023. Do read it. It’s give both portfolio and precious life lessons that I have learnt.

Mirrors of Time: Delving into the Reflections of 2023

Time Flies

It’s has been almost a year since my mum passing. Times really flies. Life is fragile.

Farewell Mum. You are always in my mind

Remember to look at these 3 pictures every morning.

Few pictures that change my life.

Disclaimer (these pictures are not from me. Saw on X and on internet)

No one is immortal.

There is always a last time.

Last time your kids ask you to carry

Last time they climb on you.

Portfolio

This is the most interesting part where people are keen, and this is for my own record.

In terms of CPF, I have received 14k interest in my account and 13k from my wife account. Not bad!

In terms of Singapore Dividend Portfolio, I started the year with a family projected dividend of 2k per month + 1k per month from SSB + about 1.5k from cash interest / money market funds account. That’s about 4.5k per month. Hopefully this year I can change the 1.5k cash interest / money market funds account to equity (which I believe highly likely possible.)

I know we shouldn’t and can’t time market. But I rather keep cash at this moment of the time, waiting for opportunity.

Recent Trade – SG market

Nevertheless, I can’t stop hand itchness.

Recently I have bought 9CI (Capitaland Investment Limited) at $3.01 and F34 (Wilmar International) at $3.45. This time I didn’t post my transaction in the telegram group or twitter since I thought no one might be interested anyway. But for transparency and own record, I shall share here. Anyway, these two are for trading, not long-term positions in mind. However, 9CI might become long term, let’s see out how the results goes.

Recent Trade – Crypto

What am I busy with? Airdrops!

See: Time for Free AirdropS!

2024 Crypto is bullish with Bitcoin ETF just approved on the surface (but this is actually leading wolf to sheep pack if you seriously think about it). Bitcoin halving also coming!

What airdrops have I been farming? In Short, many many!

FREE MONEY using little or no Money, why not?

Cosmos – Atom, Tia, Inj, Osmos, milktia, Dem Exchange etc

Zksync

Layer Zero

Manta

Linea

Blast L2,

Scroll

Aveos

Rango Exchange

Testnet – like Bera Chain etc

and Many Many!

Usually for Crypto, information really follows fast. Hence, I usually post in my Twitter instead. For example,

Now

The $AEVO token is officially CONFIRMED in Q1 2024. Potential airdrop! coming. Left few weeks only!

The previous airdrop from this team was six figure!

Less than 40k users

Just fund $100 and join the potential to get 5 Digits in February 2024!

Money just buy you the chance of freedom but can’t buy back time. In life, there is no reset button. Time is limited but money is not.

When you are young and working, you exchange time for money. When you are old, you can have lots of money but you can’t buy time back, especially the things that you have missed (your strong health, time with young child) while busying striking out in career.

Your kids grew up and they no longer need you to accompany them. They no longer want to sit on your lap to share/do things with you…all these time you spent in your 9 to 6 or even longer cubicles…can the money that you have earned by you back these?

We always thought we have more time with our old parents, but we are wrong. Time with them is ticking away every day. One day it will suddenly be gone. There is no regret medicine, no reset in time. Gone is gone and cannot come back. No matter you are billionaires or millionaires, you cannot reset this.

We always thought that we have more time with our spouse every day, but we are wrong. One day they will be gone too. When you read this, please go tell your spouse that you love him/her and he or she is the best thing that you ever had in your life.

Love your life daily. You have one less day with your spouse, parents, children and yourself. Time is ticking away.
