Droneshield To The Moon

 This is the real deal?

It’s been such a long time since I’ve had a multibagger stock investment, so this is great to see.

Will it go to $10?

Goodbye 小红, Hello 白珠!

 And so for the second decade, we change to our third family car.

This time we have sadly let go of our Toyota Corolla 2016 model for a BYD Atto 3 2025 model.

Hope we can drive this EV for the next ten years!

The new EV driving experience has been solid so far!

Let’s just hope this is a solid investment for us!

Channel News Asia Money Mind Appearance

 Made a brief appearance on CNA’s Money Mind series.

Was featured giving my opinion to a potential new investor.

It was fun but I really do not like to do stuff like this too often.

So paiseh when they aired the episode in the office!

Johor Bahru, Malaysia 2025

 Had a very short but interesting weekend trip to Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

It was the wifey’s birthday and we wanted to try this as a celebration of sorts.

What we did was take the TEL to Woodlands, then take bus 950 to the causeway checkpoint. After checking through the Singapore customs, we took another bus to the Malaysian customs. And then straight to our hotel, which was just 5min away!

Malaysia is super cheap for us Singaporeans right now, so everything we ate, bought and did, were cheap!

What a great way to spend the weekend!

Here’re the 10 best photos from the trip.

Saxo Summer Party 2025

 After the DHS reunion, was the annual Saxo Summer Party!

Our parties have become less wild than before because we’re all a little older.

Also gone are the days we partied by the beaches at beach clubs.

This year was in a little shophouse in Little India where we gave out fantastic prizes and played really fun games.

To many more years of Saxo partying!

Dunman High Class Of 1995 Reunion

 Wow.

This was definitely quite a feat.

Our secondary school class gathering taken to a whole new level.

We invited our cohort of around 400 students and nearly half showed up! And even the teachers too!

I had such a good time engaging with so many of them. What a great catch up.

Our upper secondary class ended up having only 5 representatives while we had 10 from our lower secondary class.

Good times!

Another Saxo Farewell

 This time to Berwin, our Senior Legal Counsel.

Was good having drinks together.

To brighter days ahead!

Upper Sec Class Gathering

 Had an upper secondary school class gathering.

Haven’t seen a few of them for 30 years!

Here’s a quick photo - from left: Jinde, Clarice, Hak Keong, Zuguang, Sulynn, Amelia, myself, Stacey.

Good to see many of them again after all these years!

Basketball Sundays

 I play basketball with the kids on most Sundays now.

Both teens are getting better and better.

Soon they will be beating me effortlessly. I used to beat them effortlessly but now we are starting to be on par. My body is degrading while theirs are growing stronger by the day.

We’d play a first round of primary/secondary school. Then 2v1 which I’m still winning. Then we go to the exercise area to do static exercises and see who can hang on the handle bar the longest. 

End it off with chin chow from Marine Terrace hawker centre. Well deserved.

SG60 Cake

 This year is a special birthday year for Singapore!

It is SG60!

As usual we’d go over to my parents’ home to watch the parade.

This year my mum went one further by buying a birthday cake for Singapore!

Happy 60th birthday Singapore!

Durian Short Season

 Had a ball of durians for a short duration when there was a spurt of very good and quality supply.

It really just came a went just like that and now it’s over.

Sad.

Viktor Gyokeres

 Not an Arsenal fan but was actually quite proud that he was unveiled in Singapore’s Festival of Football game between Arsenal and Newcastle.

And I was there to catch Arsenal win 3-2!

Sinkhole

 There was a sinkhole that opened up a few weeks ago at Amber area. It swallowed a car, thank goodness the driver was rescued in time!

So damn scary!

Look at that! OMG!

Life Is Pretty Good

 *touch wood*

Just a general reminder why I’m so poor this year.

• Paid off our entire mortgage - we own our home in full now
• Bought a brand new car
• Going for a crazy most expensive year end holiday

Yet everything else considered, we are financially more well off than ever.

Weird but I’ll take it wholeheartedly.

To more huat days!

Happy 60th Birthday Singapore!

 So happy and proud we’ve made it this far!

We should be so grateful and proud as a nation.

Spent the evening watching the parade at my parents’ place with my kids.

They might be teens but that doesn’t stop us from enjoying a good NDP get together.

Mum even bought a cake to sing for Singapore! 🇸🇬 

Here’s to celebrating SG100 in 40 years time!

A Rail Corridor Birthday Treat

 Gave myself a birthday treat my tormenting my body for a day. Jogged/walked the full 23km of the Rail Corridor, from Kranji to Tanjong Pagar. Will drop at least a toenail or two because the rain drenched me and my poor feet. 8/10 would recommend.

Here’s my quick review:

Northern Corridor - most underdeveloped, literally mud paths that destroy shoes when there’s rain, pools of mud traps. Poor signage as well.

Central Corridor - most touristy, all the instagrammable stuff are within this shortest 5km segment (truss bridge, old station etc), paths are very well developed.

Southern Corridor Part- most boring, just endless PCN literally along AYE all the way to Tanjong Pagar. At least the paths are well developed and lots of wild chickens.
