Brand new partner - HP desktop

I have been waiting to use the new desktop. I have received it after a day of frustration due to the late delivery from Lazada. However, after receiving the desktop, I realized that the desktop can not connect to the internet. I should have not been impatient and purchase the computer without thorough checking of the specs. Due to the wireless adapter, I have to wait yet again. The Hubster went to Challenger and bought it for me so that I can use the computer today.

After which I have to install the Microsoft office as I need to get my financial sheet done. I have always had my financial sheet ready to make all the necessary payment and savings plans. As it is the final quarter of the year, it means purchasing the children's school books and their necessities. It is not easy with 3 primary school going children. I understand the struggle that some of the parents are going through. It is not easy to raise children in Singapore. Many of our friends have asked us how we survive raising 5 children. It is not easy especially when you do not plan your financial wisely. I am just glad that at times that I have supportive family members and in-laws. However, we do not take advantage of their kindness and work very hard to ensure that we are financially independent. As of now, we are slowly recovering from all the financial mistakes that we have made. We have ensured that we have savings and spend within our means in fact we have been cutting down on our expenditure. I really wished that we were smarter in making our financial decision back then. Planning our monthly expenditure is never easy as I have to take into consideration the needs of 5 small children. It is tough but not impossible. The upcoming year will be a challenging year for all of us. A few major changes are happening. I pray hard for Allah to ease our affairs.
