Our portfolios reached a new high despite taking profit on some counters previously. This is due to the run up of the Reits in our portfolio.

It has been awhile since my portfolio value touched $100k.

Still on the lookout for suitable counters to add. But for now most seem overpriced.

Overall was a busy and stressful month for me in terms of work. I can foresee it will be equally if not more hectic at least for the next two months.

This year also marked the first year that my company has to pay corporate tax.

It came as a little surprise as I thought new startups enjoy a 3 years tax exemption. However upon checking I realised the regulation has changed.

It is bittersweet for me. Looking on the bright side having to pay tax means at least my business is making money.

I also overspent by quite a bit this month as baby M turned one!

Had a simple dinner celebration with family members in a restaurant that costs a grand+ and ordered a baby-friendly cake that costs $130.

Also celebrated our wedding anniversary at a mexican restaurant with just wifey and I.

Though overspent, I considered these well-spent. Memories made are priceless.
