I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

How 10D9N In Taiwan Unexpectedly Became 10D9N + 1N Free Stay At 5 Stars Hotel With 2 Free Meals


Read? On Blog Leave From 9 to 18 Apr 2019 - Taiwan Round 5


Yes.

Uncle8888 has one free night extension stay at 5 stars E-DA Royal, free late night buffet supper (but more like dinner) around 11:30 pm and free buffet breakfast. 

All fully paid by FlyScoot.

Redeem Krisflyer mileage?























We were told to proceed to restaurant for supper after taking our key to the hotel room.

Late supper but more like late dinner.

































How did happen?
















At first; we were told of flight delay for about 30 minutes. Soon some passengers at back rows decided to form queue. Since we at the first front row of economy class; we didn't bother to join the queue and continued to surf the Net on our phone.

As each hour passed, some angry passengers began to raise their voice at boarding gate staff and demanding to know the actual departure time; but the staff just didn't know and kept apologizing. Tough job for these gate staff!

At around 11 pm; we were told to queue in line to claim baggage, cleared immigration and checked in hotel to wait for further instruction regarding the actual departure flight on the next day.



Free transport from Kaohsiung airport to hotel. We took the shuttle bus as the last batch going to the hotel.














Uncle8888 did learn something from this incident that feeling lucky or unlucky is in our current state of mind and circumstance that we are in.

Since we were departing from Kaohsiung back home so there was no disruption to our travel plan.

As retiree who has plenty of spare time to burn. Why not enjoy the free stay and free meals provided by FlyScoot. 





















Hmm .. same as investing for long term. Lucky or unlucky will depend on our current state of mind and circumstance that we are in. 

Is generation of cash flow from our net worth and investment portfolio enough to fund our annual household expenses?

If more than enough then we can be lucky to wait for the next bear market.

  1. This incident reminded me that other people good or bad experience is not same as our own personal experience. Same as learning from other people investing experience and investing lessons. It is not the same. The state of mind, circumstance and war chest is not the same.
