Sorry for whining here despite not having a concrete idea for which field to go into since I know I'm certainly not fit to do that

We actually don't need a professional motivational speaker or counsellor to tell us all of these. Our fellow brother here is already a living example of that.

Keep it up sir! Hope life keeps getting better for you

Currently, I'm still in the same company as a service engineer. I have to say, this job is treating me good. Currently, i'm in my 2nd year with this company. And I got to fly to Japan, Germany, KL for training. During my first year, i had a pay increment! So hooray! Hopefully this year will be the same so..
-finger crossed-

I've already decided not to go into the DA direction since it's doesn't really benefit me. Rather, I'll stay here to gather more experience as a service engineer. And probably move on from there. At least i have some clear direction now for my career path.

Managed to have our own car, due to my nature of work requiring me to travel around Singapore. Not much but it's a 2nd hand old car that gets the job done, so nothing to complain.

My son's already 3yo! Very happy and blessed to see him growing up so happily and healthy. He's in N2 now. Doing very well in school. We recently send him for enrichment class, in order for him to have easier learning capability and hopefully he can learn new things slightly faster. That's all we ask for. We didn't give him pressure at all. And he seems to like go to class. Only thing is, he has to do homework at home now, haha! But it's funny teaching him for me and my wife. So that's all.

My wife is doing very great too at her company. Managed to lead quite a few big project successfully! Her boss also recognized her work. Big increment and promotion for her! Proud of her! She's also started to do a side line as well. Pretty good i must say. This is something i'm very proud of too!

So far, life has been treating me good. I'm doing alright at work, i have a very happy and active boy, my wife is doing a wonderful job balancing who life and work. I have nothing to nit-pick about. No debt, able to pay the bills, able to have some small staycation, good relationship with my wife. My child is healthy and well. I'm so blessed to have these around me.

Oh ya, i had a kidney stone last dec. Thank god for the insurance that covers my bill. Now, i'm recovered and doing well. Decided to change my diet. Managed to lose some weight!

So now, I'm hoping to maintain what we are doing, and i believe we are doing fine. Of course, we are trying for 2nd kid this year! Hopefully, we can strike! haha. So i see you when i see you. Cheers to all working hard for your family or those working hard for yourself!

May you have a smooth journey this year!
