Updates for May 2018

On a personal level, it is a hectic month of May with Child 2 starting childcare. A lot of crying during school as expected and a lot of “activities” waiting at home when the kids are back - feeding, bathing, coaxing to sleep, follow by laundry, household chores like sweeping and mopping. Work wise still in the “do nothing much” mode as workload is considerably low and time at office is not productivity used. 

Invest wise, it is a good month with a rather handsome amount of dividends (see below) coming in and there were some buyings activities in May as follows: 

- Subscribed to June 2018 SSB of $34,000 using two accounts and this coupled with the redemption of the Feb and April SSB as a mean to switch from low interest rate SSB to that of higher interest SSB
- Added 9,000 unit of Mapletree GCC at $1.21 before XD

Total dividend received for this month is sweet amount of $4,300+. .. How 笨mummy wishes that it is a monthly occurrence. ☺️
The only bad new in May is due to Hyflux. Having $8,000 vested in its preference shares and having a possibility of writing off if things never improve is a rather painful thought but this could happen.
