In term of family, so far I enjoy the life with my boy, now we have sent him to the nursery group, and we have more time to do our work. It’s still quite packed compared to the time before his born, but at least now is more manageable.

I do hope for adding another new member to the family within this year if possible, but there are so many things happen and really seem a bit tough for us.

For work wise, I m still stuck in freelancing; product business doesn’t start properly, and I do get discourage for the current situation. I did look out for other opportunities too but feel like I should be still doing what I good at. Hopefully the second half of this year, I manage to push forward on my product business.

One of the major things is finally I bought an HDB, after so many years. At least now there is a place for me to rest when I attend any event in SG. Beside this the current car’s COE is expired soon, so going to get a new car this year, the financial pressure is there.

For the past one year might not be the most exciting, but definitely, a lot has been achieved, and I am looking forward next year.

Nothing big different from last year, with the new member of the family I m trying hard to get the balance between work and family, sometimes I really wonder does work-life balance really exist ? But many of the famous developers out there are with kids, I m sure I just didn’t find the right way like them counter this. My wife did suggest

My wife did suggest some alternate way to resolve my frustration of lack of time, going to try out start from today, which mean going to change some of my habits time. Hopefully, this will work.

Works are stable, but as I always want to move into product service, freelance service keep coming non-stop. Even when I no longer take any new customer, it still fill up my pipeline, it’s a mixed feeling, but I need to get out from this.

One thing that I notice by having my children, I start to appreciate my parent more, I guess that’s always the case.  I begin to learn it; it’s not an easy task to raise up a kid. I m glad that my parent did provide us a stable grow up environment, and I  want to do the same for my children too.

I guess this year the little gift for myself is the iPhone 6 plus? Aiming it for a while already only get it when I know that’s a promotion recently.

Thanks for my wife to arrange two day trip to Sentosa as well, the biggest happy moment is seeing my son enjoy the child pool and the hotel bed.

Happy 35.

The post 35 is a milestone appeared first on I'm Knight.

I always wonder after a certain age, you will find it the time flies extreme fast , when we are young, we always pray that why not the time move faster , but now day I only want the time to move slower, it always happen that before I have time to do A , one month later,  before I have time to do B , one year later.

As usual I have quite a bit of things that I want to do haven’t done and I already 34 this year , but one thing that I really glad I did is having my little one, It’s not easy to take care a kid and be the working from home dad, I still learning and I did feel suffer sometime, but I always remind myself this is a gift and it has been very nice for us without a lots of trouble.

Getting a new member in the family means I m trying to put more time focus on the family bounding, just like someone advice me , the best time of kids are this few year, they miss it due to their own work and business and now they regret , treasure it now if you can. So I do try to cut down my work and avoid to do much work on the weekend, it does have some impact to my business but I think it can’t be avoid, at the same time I m trying to convert the business into another mode , rather than selling time to exchange of $$ , selling the product to exchange of $$, hopefully I can see better result by end of the year.

I can’t really recall well how my parent treat me when I was that little but I m glad to see now both my parent enjoying taking care of my kids, I feel that some how I have fulfill one of the biggest part of my duty, other than really giving my parent lots of financial support, I guess the little angel that I give them have created more joy for them, it’s satisfy to see the smile when they take care of my kids.

This year there are no celebration nor buying any gift for myself , what I want is just order some food and enjoy with my love on in front of tv, it might be the pressure for taking care of the kids which prevent us to go around for celebration, but for now I guess that’s just fine for me.

Happy 34.
