What’s up for Jun 2018?

This is becoming a pattern with the way I do an update for the investments I made in the previous month and highlight what’s coming up for me in the current month. I’m getting hammered at work and I can feel the days and weeks just passing by more quickly then before. Same thing is happening to my wife as well. Though we are slowly starting to better manage the higher stress and pressure.

If you haven’t noticed, we have not gone for an overseas holiday since our last ski trip to Austria a few months ago in Feb 2018. This should hopefully change as we start planning for a trip to Croatia (Europe) in Sep 2018. Gives us something to look forward to! In fact, we might even try to go somewhere nearer (maybe Australia or Japan) before that.

Anyway, my birthday is coming up in the next few weeks. Will try to take a day off to celebrate it with my wife. Maybe go somewhere nice for lunch or dinner!:)
