One of my favourite movies of all time is The Shawshank Redemption, starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. I’m not really sure why. Maybe it’s because any movie narrated by Morgan Freeman puts me into a deep, introspective mood. Unrelated note: If I knew Morgan Freeman, I would totally ask him to narrate my life story at […]
Ok, people. Here’s definitive evidence that I am a hardcore nerd: I just paid a ridiculous amount of money to spend FIVE DAYS at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando. Not only that, I’m also budgeting (yes, budgeting) for a $47 INTERACTIVE WAND that will let me perform MAGIC around the theme park. This October, watch me run
Don’t tell anyone because I’m embarrassed, but I used to be a HUGE Eminem fan. I’d come home from school, use my comb as a makeshift mic, and lip-sync to all the songs on The Marshall Mathers LP on full blast. (Since I’m such a huge nerd, that was about the most gangsta that I’ve ever been
I have a terrible habit of blogging about topics long after they go out of fashion. If I were a journalist, I’d probably get fired because I’d always be reporting news 3 weeks too late.

Investing is controversial. It’s like health, religion, politics, CPF, or Chicken McNuggets sauce – Everyone has a strong opinion about which is the best. In fact, we will go to the ENDS OF THE EARTH to defend our opinions, which is why I think this post is gonna piss a lot of people off.A lot

It’s like they think we spend our nights staring out at the sky, arms outstretched, and singing kumbiya. Facepalm. Here at cheerfulegg, we adopt a
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
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
My Accounting 101 professor back in college had ginormous biceps. He’d flex them menacingly as he paced Huntsman Hall, and the fear of getting our heads crushed between his guns stopped my buddies and I from falling asleep during lectures. But even though I managed to stay awake most of the time, I still pretty
