[Thoughts] Hello December! A summary of the Year

Hello Everyone, i am still doing my weekly scans, but selectively sharing to gain perspective, rather than prove to anything to anyone.

If you interested then comment on this post i can figure how i can share the scans with you.

An update on what i have been up to:

Financially

1.Apr, June : Injected $41.5K into DBS,Olam, Jardine to boost my income holdings

2.Oct-Dec: Injected $6.2K for rights issue this year (IREIT + CRCT) and did not apply for Ascendas Reit. for Ascendas Reit, participating in the exercise would not contribute to my 5% at cost income counters.

3.Mid Sep onwards: Started trading US equities on Tiger Brokers with some good returns... ( as of today 74% RoR) 

4.Nov: hit another minor financial milestone ahead of schedul ( x4 of my original liquid asset when i started in end 2015)

5.Mid Nov: Simple summation indicates SG holdings has broken even 

6.Dividends received up to $7.7K ( ~5.2% yield on cost) 

Personal development and Skill

1. Rediscovered the joy in reading, and also found out audiobooks are a great way to Accompany oneself while i work from home

2. Did not pick up coding as I hoped, too lazy. But did level up my excel skills

Work

1. WorkWise WFH most of the time, sometimes go to office/sites/contractor&vendor. Initially enjoyed it ( wake up 5min before starting work, Shiok!) but at the tail end of the year getting a bit restless. 

2. From Apr to Dec: Pushing out initiative at work, to hoping have an impact on the ecosystem.

3. Sep-onwards: Coach new staff, a bit of challenging since i am more of an individual contributor, but Glad that i pick up some communication skills along the way to help in my people management skillsets

Refocusing for 2021

Financially

1. Income holdings.  Projected to get 7K  for 2021, to hit 12k at 5% cost will need to inject $99K, but only add if there is a opportunity. Target to add max of 40K.

2. Trading US-HK anywhere: scale up to $40K (to speculate on ~5 to 7 counters) Gains will be channeled to opportunity warchest

Personal Development

1. Work on Arduino/Raspberry pi to keep my practical skills recent and to date, for personal hobby.

2. Incorporate a fitness regime that I can stick to... maybe Daily push up, seat ups + 1x intense workout + 1 Hike.

Work

1. Focus intensely on automating and  delegating work to the staff i am coaching.

2. Roll out 3 high-impact initiatives (programme, administrative, misc)

3. Aim to get an offer for a new job that offers my annual package as my basic with a decent bonus.
