2025 gave me a lot of lessons. Some of those lessons I’ve heard many times before, but I still consider myself a beginner in many aspects of life. There were a lot of experiences that taught me how to become a better person, and I still believe there’s so much more I need to learn to improve myself.
In 2026, I officially became unemployed — not because I can’t work, but because I’m currently on standby. My wife decided that she might want to take a break from working in this year. Personally, I could apply for a job, but imagine if my wife suddenly decides to submit her resignation while I’ve only been working at a company for two months. That would give me a bad reputation when applying for jobs again in Singapore, especially since it’s not easy for employers to get foreign worker quotas.
Since I now have more free time compared to last year, I’m trying to get better at working from home. One thing that has always attracted me is FOREX. I’m quite happy because my wife has recently become interested in buying stocks, and I’ve been helping her do research on which stocks are better for her. I suggested dividend-paying stocks so she can aim for monthly dividends in the future — at least she has a clear mission.
To be honest, I’m also worried about myself. I’ve been gaining weight, and it’s now my personal goal to reach my ideal weight within the next five months. It’s not easy, because I’ve tried before. Wish me luck, and I’ll try to share my weight-loss journey here on Hive in the future.
Another thing I want to focus on is reading more and gaining as much knowledge as I can from free internet resources. I need to be aware of what’s happening in the world, especially since it helps with technical analysis in forex. Besides that, there are so many things we can learn online — including with the help of AI. Honestly, I’ve improved a lot because I get clearer and more direct answers, and I’ve even learned trading concepts from AI.
One more thing I plan to do is journaling my forex journey on Hive, including my daily progress. I can’t think of a better place to keep it than here.
There’s still a lot on my mind, but these are the main things for now — and I’m getting sleepy already. Anyway, I think that’s all for today. See you in tomorrow’s journey.
