... This weekend's tasks
Posted Thu-31-Jul-2008 @ 03:49
Drive myself deep inside Hulu Langat to get to Lembah Azwen to pick up my wife who'll be attending her company's weekend motivational camp. I have never been so far into Hulu Langat before, let alone to this resort. The closest was to Batu 9 to accompany a friend due to a sudden death in his family. That's like, 8-9 years ago. A quick search using wikimap showed it's about a couple of kilometers away from the IKBN, with a turn off that goes through a kampung. I'd better give myself more than 1 hour to get there, in case I miss that junction.
Another task: pay my Citi credit card balance. I ran up the balance (and Tiger's) quite high the past few months due to my not-so-smooth cashflow. That should leave me with about 2k more to go for the Tiger's. Excluding the huge sum I'm owing my mum, I'm on track to liberate my credit card balances. Wuhuu!
Another no less important task is to sit down with my wife and work out our finances. The current house, the new house completing next year, the plan for the family, moving to down here or not, current and expected budgeting, those stuff. That's gonna be a big headache.
For someone who used to work as a planner, I don't really have a proper plan for me and my family. Financially. That includes my wife. We're ad hoc and reactive. We don't plan what or how to go for the next step, most of the time we reacted after the event. Family vacation to OZLand: sell shares after purchasing the flight tickets and booking the accommodations. New house: scrummage through our savings (or whatever there is) and roughly go through our expenses after signing the S&P. Moving down here: still no definite plans although I've been here almost a month. 3rd kid? Family car replacement? Adam's school plans for next year? Other stuff? Ouch! We're that bad.
At least, we've planned for a couple's spa and massage for Sunday at our friend's boutique. Wait, which pocket are we paying this from?
