I had new work today. Progress was slow but I got there eventually. Tomorrow, I expect to be more productive. I am doing React Native work now coming from web work yesterday. It's a bit of the same but different thing.
Today I had the chance to read another chapter of the book Great Southern Land. Still interesting but not as interesting as the first part of the book.
I had a late lunch. I went out and did my usual walk around the block. Today what a pleasant surprise when I chanced upon my Tita Ellen and Tita Cyn a few steps away from our building. They were ready to have lunch as well and looking for the Chinese restaurant that' been closed for ages.
Today I planned to go home early and run a few rounds in our neighborhood. Guess what? It never happened. Instead, I invited my wife to have dinner at that ramen place because I can't fight it anymore. I had to give in because it's been so long since my last visit there. Tell you what, it was worth it. Shujinko -- the place to eat ramen in Melbourne. If you find anything wrong with your order, make sure to let the staff know and they'll replace it to your liking. This time around the soup was not hot enough for my wife, she likes it scolding hot. We informed them -- they gladly replaced the bowl of ramen with a new one.
Tomorrow it'll be meetup time. I've been meaning to go to the Melbourne's React meetup for a while now but I usually don't. There's always something that comes up or I just don't want to. Tomorrow, I'll try again. Maybe this time it would materialise.
I also had a chat with Papa Ting over the phone. He's still in Sydney. He's been out and about the whole day -- seeing the sights in Sydney: Sydney Harbour bridge, the zoo, island hopping with his bestie. Funny I've been in Australia for four years now and still haven't visited those sites. Not about me but whenever we talk, Papa Ting seems to miss my girls. I didn't expect that my daughters will have that impact on him. We're looking forward to having him again here in Melbourne. Next time it'll be in our own home.
We also have been discussing some possible income streams like doing overtime, getting a second job over the weekend or after office hourse like being a real estate agent part time or training in air con stuff so I could be your friendly neighbourhood AC man. Something I can do to boost our household income even more doing a little extra so we could build our dreams a litte faster.
I shall list down my ideas and act on each one in the coming days. It's doable. Other people are doing it but not that obvious. I just have to look and do my own research to uncover these activities that will bring in more money for us.
