It started with a T-shirt. While trying on T-shirts at Uniqlo, I realised that not a single M-sized shirt could hide my proudly protruding belly. Aren’t these changing room mirrors supposed to make you look more attractive than you actually are? Ugh. It was time to do something about it. I didn’t want to do the usual “join […]
I bought a TV a couple of weeks ago. Now, I don’t actually watch that much TV, but it’s just one of those things you get for your new house, right? (How else would you distract your relatives when they visit and ask awkward questions?) You’d think that buying a TV should be relatively simple:
Back when I was a young, blur student, I picked up my first investment book and tried to implement the strategies in it. But I got really frustrated because it wasn’t working out. So I sent a quick email to the author. I can’t remember what I wrote, but it was something along the lines
Hellooooooo I’m back! Sorry for being away for so long (my previous post explains why), but I’m back and I’m so happy to see you. Gimme a hug! (Okay Lionel, you need to calm down.) We’ve got a lot to catch up on, but since it’s the New Year, let’s talk about how to kick

There comes a time in every man’s life, when he has to grit his teeth, grab life by the nuts… …And buy an engagement ring. Yes, dear reader, I’ve come to that milestone: My girlfriend and I have spent the last couple of months on the hunt for a ruby gemstone that will form the centrepiece of
(Pre-post note: A bunch of you were psyched about using Lift after last week’s post, so I decided to do a series of posts on apps that I’ve found useful.) Sooooo – let’s talk about to-do lists. What’s the difference between a good to-do list and a crappy one? Here’s my definition: A CRAPPY to-do list
Okay, I know I’m a little slow, but I just started watching the US TV series House of Cards. If you haven’t seen it yet, go see it. It is freakin’ badass, yo. Watching Kevin Spacey manipulate his way to political power in the U.S government is like watching a beautifully-crafted ballet (except that it
