라라랄라 라라라라 랄라 라라라라 라라라랄라

사랑 찾아 인생을 찾아 하루종일 숨이 차게 뛰어다닌다
sarang chaja insaeng eu chaja, haru cong il sumi chage dwi o da nin da
서울 하늘 하늘 아래서 내 꿈도 가까이 온다
so ul hanuel hanuel araeso, nae kumdo (bupo) kakkai onda

사랑도 있고 우정도 있고 하늘 아래 살고 있고
sarangdo iko ucongdo iko haneul arae, salko iko
저마다 다른 인생속에 또 하루를 바쁘게 산다
somada dareun insaeng soke, ddo harureul bappeu ke sanda

우리 인생 살다 보면 힘든 날도 수없이 찾아오지만
uri insaeng salda bomyon, him deun naldo su opsi chaja o jiman
사랑하나 그 사랑하나 찾으려고 몸부림 치네
sarang hana keu sarang hana, chajeu ryo ko mompurim jine

사랑찾아 인생을 찾아 하루종일 숨이 차게 뛰어 다닌다
sarang chaja insaeng eul chaja, harujongil somi chake dwi o da nin da
서울 하늘 하늘 아래서 내 꿈도 가까이 온다
so ul haneul haneul araeso nae pumdo(bupo) kakka i onda

사랑을 알고 우정도 알고 정 하나로 살고있고
sarang eul arko, ujongdo arko, jong hanaro salko iko
저마다 값진 인생 속에 또 하루를 바쁘게 산다
jomada kapjin insaeng soke, ddo harureul bappeu ke sanda

우리 인생 살다 보면 힘든 날도 수없이 찾아 오지만
uri insaeng salda bomyon, him deun naldo su opsi chaja o jiman
오늘 보다 더 멋진 인생 찾기 위해 몸부림 치네
onuel poda do mojin insaeng chaki wihae mompurim jine

사랑 찾아 인생을 찾아 하루종일 숨이 차게 뛰어 다닌다
sarang chaja insaeng eul chaja, harujongil somi chake dwi o da nin da
서울 하늘 하늘 아래서 내 꿈도 가까이 온다
so ul haneul haneul araeso, nae pumdo kakka i onda

사랑 찾아 인생을 찾아 지친 가슴 끌어안고 뛰어 다닌다
sarang chaja insaeng eul chaja, jichin kasuem keuro anko dwi o da nin da
서울 하늘 하늘 아래서 내 꿈도 가까이 온다
so ul hanuel hanuel araeso, nae pumdo kakkai onda

(English translation)
To find love, to find life, I run out of breath, running around all day
 Underneath the skies of Seoul, my dreams come closer

There is love, there is friendship, living under the sky
 Each day is lived busily by each different life

In life, there are endless days of hardship
 But we are all trying to find that one love

To find love, to find life, I run out of breath, running around all day
 Underneath the skies of Seoul, my dreams come closer

Knowing love, knowing friendship, we live with a warm heart
 Each day is lived busily by each precious life

In life, there are endless days of hardship
 But we are all trying to find a better life than today

To find love, to find life, I run out of breath, running around all day
 Underneath the skies of Seoul, my dreams come closer

To find love, to find life, I run as I embrace my tired heart
 Underneath the skies of Seoul, my dreams come closer

The above is Wang's family's theme song and my favourite at present because of the meaningful lyrics speaking of our lives in the city.

Reflections for year 2024

2024 has been a relatively peaceful year. So peaceful that I have read countless novels and other books, met my sports buddies almost every weekend and picked up horticulture. Physical and mental health As we say, health is wealth. I have stuck fairly consistently with my exercise regime and tried to include more fruits and vegetables in my meals (although I eat out more and cook less these days). My weight, BP and cholesterol levels are doing ok. For those 40 years and above, remember to get your  subsidized health screenings from the government . Working less and meeting up with friends more contributed to an improved mental health. I see that the government has stepped up on initiatives in the community but work place initiatives from employers still seemed lackluster, especially for those who can't WFH and need to commit 44 hours or more a week at frontline work. I have also started a Gratitude journey to celebrate all my little life milestones. Financials Investment wise ...

The best credit card for my new house renovation

As updated in my previous post, I have finally bought my own place. For the past few months I have been busy coordinating with various contractors and vendors for my house renovation. As I am still on A flexi work schedule, I decided to be my own ID. With only a simple renovation plan in mind, I set my reno budget at $20,000 (aircon & fixtures inclusive). The renovation process and acting as my own ID were not as easy as I thought. It took me about a month to gather and compare quotations from different contractors and another few weeks to finalize all the things that I need my chosen contractor to do. I eventually settled for a main contractor who specializes in carpentry work but also provides painting, tiling and electrical services. I have grossly underestimated the amount of defects that need fixing for this resale flat. Fortunately, the floor tiles and some of the existing built-ins are still in good condition so I kept them, otherwise I would have burst my budget. The first ...

Shit happens and I lost my low-hanging fruits

My POSB SAYE account just hit its 25th month —the much-anticipated “month of maturity.” I was all ready to enjoy the 3.5% bonus interest I’d patiently saved for… only to receive a measly $17+ cash gift instead of a few hundred dollars. I was about to send a message to query the bank what caused this interest drop versus what I have gotten on the 13th month. Confused, I double checked my account history and— gasp! —found a single $50 transfer I’d made to a joint account in one of the past months. I hadn’t even realized that I’d chosen the SAYE account as the fund transfer source. For those unfamiliar with the T&Cs of POSB SAYE: “To receive the additional 3.5% p.a. Cash Gift Interest, ensure that you do not make any withdrawal from your POSB SAYE account.”   “If a withdrawal is made in the month, this will result in the previously accumulated additional 3.5% p.a. interest to be forfeited.” Yes, one tiny transfer = months of bonus interest gone . Even depositing it back the...
