Tell me if this sounds familiar: You’re waiting in line to order your ban mian. There are about 5 people ahead of you. What do you do? You pull out your phone and check your Instagram feed. You head to the office bathroom to do your morning ahem, rituals. After settling in, you pull out […]
I don’t really remember what I did the night before my wedding. I’m a dude, so it probably involved some combination of Soi 19 wantan mee, YouTube videos, potato chips, and texting my bros about when they should come over for beer in the morning. Brides, on the other hand, probably have a loooooot of
Heyaaa guys I’m back! Didja miss me? It’s been 6 weeks since my last post, and I wanted to explain a key insight I had during this long absence. First of all, I stopped blogging for a couple of weeks because of a crazy travel schedule to London, Hong Kong, and Israel. There was one particularly
So last week, my wife convinced me to have dinner at The Clove Club, a 1-Michelin Star restaurant ranked #26 in the World’s 50 Best Restaurant Awards this year (Britain’s highest entry).

Why would you settle for average when you can get above-average returns by picking stocks? On the surface, that seems to make sense. Why would you settle
Soooo I was lucky enough to get a short work stint in London (long story), and I’ve been here for a couple of weeks. Here are some interesting observations I had: One good thing about being in a totally new environment: I get to try little social experiments that might seem weird to my friends and
When I was in college, I was an obnoxious smartass. Like every ambitious, testosterone-driven Singaporean male, I believed I could trade my way towards becoming a millionaire. So I bought some trading software, some market data, several hundred dollars worth of trading books, and begin to craft my own strategy. Back then, “rules-based” technical trading
Soooooo a bunch of robo-advisors have launched this month in Singapore. When I first heard about them, I got REALLY EXCITED. I tried sharing my excitement with my friends, which is probably why no one invites me to parties anymore. Now that I have nothing better to do on Friday nights, I did a little
