February is the month where we celebrated Chinese New Year and our birthdays – both Kate and I are born in the same month. We did a gift exchange based on our personal wish list and had a simple celebration with our families. This is the 11th year we have been celebrating our birthdays together…
Jan 2019 – Monthly Updates
January is the month where we start a new year and reflect on our previous year as mentioned in Kate’s post. Last year, we spent a lot of bonding time with our two precious kids and Asher also turned one last November. Kate, with her one year sabbatical over, is back at work and adjusting…
Looking back at our 2018 finances
With so much debate about the sandwich class recently, I tend to think that perhaps this is the generation with the highest proportion of this population thus far.

Kate and I signed up for the Uncluttered course conducted by Joshua Becker a few months back. It was definitely one of the best courses that we have attended. Of course it helps a lot that it is an online course, so we could do it at the comfort of our homes, and whenever we had…
July 2018 – Monthly Update
July is the month where the World Cup ended with the French lifting the World Cup title for the second time. I watched the game live on TV and seriously thought Croatia played better although the actual score did not really reflect that. I guess luck also played a very important role in games like…
