Updates for Jul 2017

笨mummy was expecting July to be a quiet month like in the past since it is not a period where much cash inflow is expected from any of her stock holding. But things turn out rather differently, 笨mummy had:  

• Divested Ascendas REIT shares that she bought in Dec 2016 at S$2.30 at S$2.60. She gained a decent profit. The cash free up from this sales were used to fund the Netlink Trust IPO and CDL H Trust right issue. 
• Purchased 5,000 units of M1 at S$1.86 and this average down the buying price of her M1 holding which now totalled to 15,000 units. 
• Subscribed to the right issue of CDL H Trust. She had subscribed to her full entitlement of 1,600 units as well as excess rights of 6,400 units. 
• Subscribed to IPO of Netlink Trust and managed to be allocated 3,000 units of the new shares
• Managed to secure a letter of offer for refinancing from OCBC for her HDB housing loan. Currently she is enjoying a fixed rate of 1.58% from UOB till Feb 2018 and thereafter the rate would move to 1.78% and the offer from OCBC is a fixed rate 1.30% for the first two years. 

On personal matters, 笨mummy had been busy this month. She was approached by two recruitment firms and attended two interviews arranged by the firms respectively. She also received update from a childcare centre that there is a vacancy for infant care and she could enrol Child 2 if she needs to go back to work. 

While she enjoys her time being a stay at home mum, she still yearn for the recognition and financial benefits from working. She shall see how things work out in the next few weeks. Maybe things would remain status quo if no favorable response from both interviews.
