      Hi hi! Damn that is good of you to cook for the wife.
      Never really cross my mind to do that because quite frankly both of us worked before I decided to quit corporate and yeah, it’s just easier to buy rather than cook to be honest. And my own diet also don’t really help to cook when she and I eat so different of late.
      Maaaybe start a cooking channel on UA-cam perhaps? That could be a start.

    Keep Soldiering on man, so many side jobs can be tough. Although I understand that you need to be on top of everything, wouldn't keeping focus and attention on 1 thing be better than switching between 3 things at once? E.g. editing is editing, ebay is ebay. Trading.....see how lah.

    • @ASingaporeChipmunk

      I would have thought so too to be honest.
      But somehow, it all clicks, both timing, and also how they all gel a little when I do these sides as I go along and it’s been a year of actually doing all 4 now, it’s not rosy towards this path ups and downs are a given.
      And now with UA-cam, I plan to also tel this story so that you guys and gals have a glimpse of the realities of it all.
      The so called “sacrifices” but I myself don’t call it more like lifestyle changes to suit this work.

      Your comment (#2) in particular can come across as quite condescending and privileged. Although it'll be better to eat less of that, he (or others) may not always have the time or energy to prep fresh meals each time, especially after a long day of work or juggling side hustles as he is doing. You could word it more sensitively or gently I guess. And have more understanding and nuance to it. I noticed it too but I didn't feel like I need to tell him what to do in his life. At most gentle suggestions... 🙄

    • @ASingaporeChipmunk
      @ASingaporeChipmunk  Місяць тому +1

      Red bull i can answer!
      Because I since young drink until now the habit hard to quit. But nowadays can’t drink tooo sweet, and I limit my sweet intake to morning and anything after 12pm I don’t drink except water Liao.
      I also want to drink so I dilute and just have the taste, then drink the rest before 12pm.
      As for the laundry, my god that concoction was my wife buy sooo many variants of detergents and softeners and that vanish…. then finally manage to put this 3 then she happy woh. So it stuck. True story.
      Most likely many can relate if you say adulting and forming… that means we are not alone haha..🤣

      Glad you ask this question! I will address this “income” thing when I feel right to.
      There is this trend lately by all the finance Singapore UA-camrs asking everyone they meet “ what you earn” or “what is your income” which I reckon, given my channel direction, there isn’t much value to you all to know because, comparison is the thief of all joy and wealth.
      Not to say I won’t talk about parts of them (UA-cam is primarily one I will say because it’s all thanks to you guys that I got Monetized, that I owe you all for that)
      But the rest, That will be address when I feel right to.
