Updates for Apr 2018

Another month has passed at work. Work is boring.. almost literally as 笨mummy has the least work much amongst her peers to do on hand. There is really not much work to be keep her occupied at work. She is bored to tears. 

She attended an internal manager meeting at work discussing on staff performance. She once again feel how cruel it is to be assessed, ranked and judged by people. Although she was not the one being assessed, she could feel the pain to be inflicted to a person that is the centre of other people’s judgement. In many instance she feels that managers fail to undertake the role to nurture like a mother to a child and rather adopted the role of judge to pass judgement on people based on their own set of invisible rules. 

Just because a person is working for an organsiation and need to report to someone else above him (like a manager), it does not give the manager a right to judge him. Both persons are employed by the same organisation and both contributing in his own to the organisation. Being of a higher rank or position does not make you any better than the other. 

Anyway 笨mummy's "judgement day" is also coming soon in May and the feeling of waiting to be judged suck. Maybe she may end up deciding to go or being ask to go. 

Enough of ranting, let provide the financial update for Apr 18. Actions in this month are: 

- managed to get $10,000 Apr 18 SSB but missed to apply for the May issue as she clearly forget about the deadline

- bought 5,000 units of Ascendas REIT on 3 Apr @$2.60 and sold it on 9 Apr @ $2.70 for a quick profit. 
- Dividend this month is good. But expecting a better in May as a few REITs she owns are giving out dividends.
