Transitioning from Employed to Self-Employed

I have tendered my resignation, and starting June 2012, I will be self-employed. 

I used to think that this transition will be manageable as long as one has his self-employment plans settled. In fact, I have been toying with the idea of doing tuition full time instead of part time like the past few years. Tuition is a fun and enjoyable activity; I enjoy sharing my knowledge and interacting with students.

But it was not easy mentally. Apprehension was high. The thought of moving from a stable income to an unstable one was actually scary. Furthermore, I'm going to suffer a severe pay cut.

I kept asking myself, what am I planning to do with so much time freed up?
The thing is, if you do not plan your time, others will plan it for you. I can't really allow that.

I have some grand plans lined up. Hopefully it will succeed. At least my dividends can feed me comfortably at the moment while I mess around.

Reminder: Saizen REIT Warrants expiring soon

Just a friendly reminder.

The warrants for Saizen REIT expires on 1st June 2012.

At the moment, my average cost of 0.161 is in the red. Dividends of 0.0189 has been received so far. :(

What do I expect after 1st June 2012?

I'm pretty sure that Saizen will follow in the footsteps of AIMSAMPIREIT. There should be a share consolidation soon. 

I'm prepared for a 5 for 1 or 10 for 1 share consolidation. I'm expecting a 5 for 1.

Peace out.
