Honey I’m home!! Didja miss me? So sorry for the looong absence – I was travelling through Orlando, Miami, the Bahamas and New York City for the past couple of weeks. I’ll update you guys more about my trip in a bit (still trying to catch up on mad post-vacation work), but today I wanted […]
One of the things I can’t stand about motivational blogs is that they’re always posting pictures of a person running on a beach, with a headline like “Run towards your dreams”.

Do you remember the first time you felt like a baller? I do. It was my first time at an outlet mall in the US. I was a first-year college student, and I had a $600 USD allowance to buy winter clothes. This was a HUGE thing for a dude who’s grown up all his life

You can check out the interview here. You know the feeling when you’re traveling overseas, and you meet some fellow Singaporeans at

I’m blogging this at 6.43am. The sky is still semi-dark, the fan is whirring, and the world hasn’t woken up yet – perfect conditions for work. So far, I’ve showered, gotten ready for the office, updated my LifeTest page, and I’m now working on this Results post. All before 7am. I conducted my third LifeTest
