Bought NORRÅKER Sideboard (White Birch) from IKEA for $299

Image
Product link. I hand-carry and took taxi home so no delivery charge. It's packed in two long flat boxes, the shorter one can fit into the boot of the taxi together with our pram, but the longer one cannot so good thing the taxi uncle don't mind that we put behind at the passenger seat, so my wife and baby cramp behind and I sat in front, just nice. It was easy to assemble, no drilling required, just need a big cross screwdriver and the rest comes together with the package. I like this table, fit just nice and very stable, solid purchase.

New Lucky Claypot Rice @ 44 Holland Drive

Image
Today we got adventurous and decided to travel to the food centre at Holland Drive, never been there before, thought it would be nice to explore since there is also a NTUC Fairprice there. So we ordered the $15 claypot rice (they have $10 version too), looks really nice but smells burnt, to be honest we don't eat claypot rice at all so we don't know what is good or bad, I did try but that was a very long time ago. Anyway me and wife don't really like it very much, rice is tough, ingredients very salty, overall very greasy, maybe this is what claypot rice is about just that we don't know how to appreciate it. One ang mo asked me where I got my claypot rice, I pointed him to the right direction, seems like he also traveled there for food.

Baby Operation Next Month

Her operation date is getting closer, I'm actually a bit worried even though I trust the healthcare staff at NUH, I think no matter how good they are, I guess it's natural for me to worry, hope everything will go well. Just a bit scared, what if something goes wrong, what if we lose her, it's just very scary to even think about it, but looking at the positive side, NUH have done many of such operations so to them it's probably like a walk in the park. They have this statistics on heart surgeries from 2009 to 2014, seems to me like very impressive numbers, but strange that they don't have numbers for 2015 and 2016, hopefully those are as impressive as past years.

Sold All Stocks

Yesterday sold all my stocks, only two and both are REITs, got tired of holding REITs, nowadays REITs seems to be doing worse in terms of both share price and dividend, both on downtrend, if hold long-term I think not a good idea, unless keep averaging but it's still pointless if the share price doesn't go up, it's like trying to fill up a bottomless pit. So I decided to bite the bullet and sell at a total loss of $1366.61, but all-time earning still got $1,331.41, so still alright la, but looking back, that means ever since I started investing in Nov 2012, until now only earn $1,331.41, kind of miserable, but still better than putting in fixed deposit or worse, keep in savings account. I can only say low risk, low gain. Now cash have about $35K, of which $30K is spare cash, the other $5K for expenses and baby operation costs next month. After that wait and see, this time I going for blue chips, people say cash is king, this is very true, right now I'm in a positi

Manhattan Fish Market Still Sucks

Image
I find Fish & Co. food better, more meat. Manhattan like to give lots of rice and french fries, so much carbs so little protein and price is about the same. Order like this $41.90 inclusive of $3 delivery charge, good thing is there is no service charge.
