New Year 2020 post

I'm still investing actively although I'm not so active in blogging as you can see I had not post anything in 2019. Just want to pen some thoughts and do a summary of what I had achieved in 2019.

What I had achieved in Year 2019.

1) I was promoted in January 2019 to take on managerial role in the department.  This came after I was with the company for four and half years. Is it a long wait? I believe so but nevertheless it was still a recognition for the efforts that I had contributed towards the company. I will still be putting my heart and soul in contributing to the company and also to contribute more in getting better bonuses to quicken my route to FIRE.

2) In terms of investment, I had achieved portfolio return of 14.42% for 2019 which is very remarkable to be honest. Capital injection of $19,300 through bonuses and savings for 2019. For 2020, I hope to achieve capital injection of $25,000 and above.

3) In terms of health, I had clocked in 42,450m of swimming for 2019. An average of 800m per week which is not too fantastic. I will have to increase it at least 1200m per week for new year 2020 resolution. I also going to do some light jogging in the gym to reduce my BMI as it currently stands at 25.9. According to BMI healthy range, between 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight. Looks like I need to reduce this number to below 25.

That's all for 2019. A simple short write-up of my achievements in 2019.
