September 2026 Updates

If I have to use one word to describe September, it would be "busy" - for personal, work and investing.

 

Whatever pockets of time I have recently are spent trying to find suitable accommodations for our upcoming family trips in November and December.

 

We have planned for a trip to Johor in November and Phu Quoc in December. While accommodations for the former are not an issue, we are having a hard time finding for Phu Quoc.

 

All our original shortlisted hotels have been fully booked though the trip is still three months away.

 

Lesson learnt: Book them early if you are going to Phu Quoc during the Christmas period! 

 

Work-wise, recently took on a few projects with overlapping schedules. Just got notified another project is going to be confirmed too. Will be kept busy till at least end of calendar year. 

My side line as a PT is also getting hectic. Took on a number of new clients to fill up those slots left vacant by couple of previous clients who have relocated back to their countries. That's the downside for having ang mohs as 80% of my clientele. Almost all my weekday morning slots are full now. 

Another side line as adjunct lecturer will take a break now. Most likely would not be teaching in the upcoming semester.

September is another bountiful month for dividends. Dividends received include:

MIT @ $279.90

Ascendas @ $597.12

Venture @ $150

MLT @ $296.01

Cent Accom REIT @ $143.46 (maiden contribution)

CICT @ $214.20

Total: $1,680.69

With these contributions, total dividend crossed the five figure mark with a quarter of year to spare. Based on the trajectory final figure should surpass last year's as well. 

In last month's post I mentioned August funds have been rolled over to add on to September funds and I hope this accumulated amount can be deployed soon.

In September the wish came true.

This month is a relatively busy month for me in terms of number of trades done. When opportunities present, we should not give them a miss. Six trades done:

1) Added CICT @ $2.32 and 2.27

2) Added Netlink Trust @ $0.965

3) Added Cent Accom REIT @ $1.06

4) Added ABVX @ $108.37 and $98.7

All purchases are for counters already in my portfolio. No new counters added for this month. 

SGD portfolio value for September closing:

Hope to cross $300k soon for a mini milestone.

Looking forward to more buys in the coming months.
