Always with the typos.

Things that I'm grateful for, a list:

1. Cool morning making my commute pretty pleasant

2. Catching the bus on time, and giving me enough time to heave breakfast before work.

3. Living in a country where you can openly eat during Ramadan and no one gives a fuck.

The privilege of not batting an eyelid at the cost of books each time I'm at a bookstore....

[Mintea @mintea]

@singnoname Thank you!

@VijayanAnthony I have a Kobo already. So that's why getting a Kindle is not necessary but I kinda want it.

[Mintea @mintea]

I'm going through this phase a the moment where I want to buy new tech because I feel like trying something new, when I don't have time to do really delve into a new hobby.

I tried Caravan Sandwitch and I had to stop because I was getting motion sickness.

- an e-ink android tablet like the Bigme b6 (because it can run the kindle and the kobo app but I don't need another reader)

- insta360 camera to do vlogs (but I have a phone that can do just that)

- art supplies (watercolour paper/sketchbook, brushes, oil pastels etc

[Mintea @mintea]

So here's a list of things that I want but don't need:

- a kindle (because of books that I want to read but not available on the kobo, as if I don't already have so many books in my TBR pile as it is)

@ofmeowandbake yes! This!

It's so risky!

[Mintea @mintea]

A few weekends ago, I read about "The New Launch Cycle' strategy in a book written by a property agent.

In that book, the case study they used was a young couple who purchased a new launch condo, while renting a small HDB.

Has anyone successfully done this in the past decade and make good profit? Especially with whatever increasingly tightened measurements for property that the SG govt is doing?

[Mintea @mintea]

From my POV, not being a property investor, it feels extremely risky to divert your finances into rental as well as a mortgage, in hopes of flipping the private property to make a profit.

@kosherjellyfish Happy birthday! It's a little belated but I hope you had a great one!

[Mintea @mintea]

Wtf

[Mintea @mintea]

Just saw someone reply to a post from 2017.....

[Mintea @mintea]

@ofmeowandbake Cannot scold directly because not in my chain of command.

[Mintea @mintea]

I wear the hats as Ops Manager, Finance Manager, HR Manager because there's only 2 of us in the core/management team.

I have a sales consultant that keeps referring to the finance team as MY FINANCE TEAM, and my knee jerk reaction

[Mintea @mintea]

@ofmeowandbake Trying to.

I AM petty enough to send a whole list of screenshot proof of his interactions with me, and in reference to my department to the client, PLUS a conduct brief note to his direct supervisor.

So that HIS boss can talk to him about his communication style.
