Finding joy in everyday life. 🇸🇬

[Nel Ng 🍵 @neltots]

My 7yo when I asked her what's the most important thing in life:

"Enjoy your life. Try new things. So when you're old, you have these memories of things you did when you were young, even when you're too old to do them."

[Nel Ng 🍵 @neltots]

No? When getting new toys is a norm, the happiness derived from each new toy is actually quite low.

@jackfriks And kids…. You’re gonna love spoiling them.

Throw out your saving ways. It’s the best feeling to see your kid smile because they got another dinosaur or whatever they like. Even if they don’t need it

A $1mil portfolio generating a modest return of 5-6% would provide 4 to 5k a month. Comfortable for me and my 2 kids. Husband can feed himself.

How much do you need to be financially free in Singapore?

According to Google (and an excerpt from Stashaway), apparently a person only needs $1.2M

Honestly that doesn’t sound right lmao

Buying a HDB is already $1M in asset value

Feels like there were a lot of underlying assumptions that weren’t mentioned for example:

> Living with parents
> Debt free

Woke up and suddenly got curious lmao

Will go do abit more research brb

Right. Ego is my enemy. I'm seeing the trend repeating with AI. I was early to the game, one of the first in my social circle to experiment with AI, the excitement kept me up till 4am at times. Now that AI is mainstream or even cliche, it seems less exciting and fun.

@creatorpascal Thank you. I too saw the growth of Easlo, and many others. I too had the belief that I could do it if i wanted to. You took action and stayed focused. I lost to ego and carried on looking for the next thing.

For the past 3 years, my enthusiasm for building stuff waned as work and life caught up. 2 weeks ago, I shipped a toy I vibe coded, and I may have just gotten into the hang of building stuff again. It's so cool to go from idea to a legit working product in a day...

[Nel Ng 🍵 @neltots]

I may have just built something that I would be interested to buy...

@jasonleowsg All the best Jason. Tough times don't last, tough men will.

400 users now.

That concludes the 2 days of public holiday for Chinese New Year. I guess user numbers will drop or taper after this.

I've shared with almost everyone I knew over this 2 days. And this is a free app. This may just be my limit for personal promotion for anything.

[Nel Ng 🍵 @neltots]

Added a sharable image and sharing links.

It is now about 20 hours since launch and I have reached more than 300 users. Not a huge number but my best so far.

Not too shabby for an app built in 2 hours.

User enters DOB and the app calculates the user's Huat score (Luck) for the day using a chinese metaphysics framework and generates Singapore lottery numbers for the user.

Gong Xi Fa Cai! During Chinese New Year, people go around wishing each other wealth and prosperity for the coming year.

Huat is a dialect term for Fa Cai which means sudden increase in wealth.

No doubt why gambling is a big part of CNY.

@v_computer I'm keen to try it out.

[Nel Ng 🍵 @neltots]

@arvidkahl My 7yo gave a pretty succinct explanation to this. 1 min read. https://t.co/i3uE0hinAO

@levelsio These days, go China for the futuristic experience and Japan for the culture.
