3 year hiatus

The last 3 years of my life has seen ups and downs in many ways that I have not foresee nor anticipated. From the a financial perspective, no major investments were made except for the renewal of the car COE costing me 26K in cold cash.

Last 2012, the major decision to renovate the house appears herculean. But it went through smoothly and without a hitch. This despite sending kids to college, of which a sizeable portion of their tuition is shouldered by the govt. Here is a snapshot of the major spending we've made.


  • Yr 2014- rory's birth: 10k hospital bills, baby expense plus travels by parents for babysitting.
  • Yr 2015- lola's death and house rebuild-10k bill plus travels back and forth for visitation. 
  • Yr 2016 - car coe 26k and Sydney travels for reunion by my in laws
Purchase of personal collections soar as well.
  1. Year 2014 - my first luxury watch (omega) as my 40 year birthday gift.
  2. Year 2015 - more watches, (apple watch, hamilton), oakley shades, wilson brown leather bag
  3. Year 2016 - Nike vapor driver, woods and rescue, Tumi bags, oakley shade, Mont blanc pen
  4. Year 2017 - new IPAD, new bible, new loafers. 
Maybe one is wondering why I need to post this. Simple, counting my blessings. At some point all these would find its way as hand me downs and need to document when were they brought!
