Fruits Friday Bar

 For once we had fruits for Friday Bar.

Can’t get more healthy than that really.

Singapore Fintech Festival 2025

 This year Saxo chose not to have a booth at SFF.

Instead we spent that budget elsewhere which IMHO was definitely more prudent and well spent.

Instead we bought delegate passes and a few of us went done to continue networking and all.

The event was still attracting a lot of people so that is good I suppose.

The first night’s networking event really blew me away tbh. The whole Boat Quay was booked out and everyone from the industry was there.

This robot really impressed me.

Copenhagen II, Denmark 2025

 Was in Copenhagen two weeks ago for work.

Another good trip locked in.

A lot of very good and useful meetings.

Very blessed to have been able to travel with Eugene, Danny and Benedict.

We did the cold dive into the sea in the Nordhavn public pool! At 10°C weather! We are Vikings now!

Got to coincide with J Day on that Friday too! It was the annual launch of their Christmas beer.

Here’re some pictures.

Physical: Asia

 This show from the Physical 100 series is simply amazing.

This installment features a country matchup version which is even more fun to watch.

Right now the final four are Australia, South Korea, Japan and Mongolia.

So exciting!

Boat Quay 2025

 Just thought I’d leave a footprint here of Boat Quay in 2025.

I mean I’ve been working in this area for over 20 years now.

I frequent this part of Raffles Place extremely often, especially during lunch when I’m looking for some place to eat and chill.

Maybe not so much the river facing side but that is the most famous face of Boat Quay.

Singlish

 The voice of Singapore.

Also at the Art Science Museum.

Singapore 2050

 Was at the Art Science Museum at MBS.

Thought this artists impression of what Singapore will be like in 2050 was cool.

But may not be that realistic.

Papa’s Getting Old

  Had family dinner last night.

Dad was nursing a sore knee.

Just seeing him hobbling while walking, I got the sense that we were all growing old. Fast.

At this age, I feel older. A lot older. 

Then I look at my mummy and daddy, they’re even older!

I wish them good health for as long as they live, with long lives ahead of them.

Snoopy Family Portrait

 ChatGPT produced our weekly dinner family portrait.

Love it in the Snoopy style!

Arcade Jackpot

 We were at Cow Play Cow Moo the other day.

Playing this machine where you need to get the ball into one of the holes and you win like 20-50 tickets if you got the right hole.

There was one particular hole which was a jackpot, and my girl actually gets the ball into!!!!

Jackpot and we bank 3,034 tickets!!!!

Talking AI

 Was a keynote speaker at our annual VIP gala dinner.

I fashioned a pretty good prezzo about AI and what to expect in the future.

Was practicing like crazy.

Quite happy with the final presentation on actual day.

Phew.

There Is I In Team

 Love this new meme.

So there IS ‘I’ in team!

When Breath Becomes Air

 An interesting book I’m reading now.

My AI Best Friends

 Welcome to the new world of AI, where they become our best friends.

These are my best friends, notably ChatGPT, Grok, and Claude.

Highest Rated Simpsons Episodes

 Just keeping this for record.

Being such a mega fan of The Simpsons, I’m just glad I was enjoying the best, wittiest, funniest episodes back in secondary school.

Pull-up Bar Hanging Record

 This year’s record was set by the girl.

That’s an insanely long hang time! Set on 21st September.

I think my best is only 35s!

Dunman Duck Rice

 Our favourite Saturday go-to lunch.

This is at Dunman Food Centre.

It’s been around since I was in secondary school.

Very highly recommended along with the Tau Kwa Pau + Duck Rice stall behind too!

Getting Super Lazy To Blog These Days

 The current days of Artificial Intelligence.

We are using AI so much that I feel lazy to blog anymore these days.

Copilot is helping me out a lot at work.

I have a personal Premium subscription to ChatGPT.

Then I use ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, DeepSeek and Copilot as my personal AI engines.

Hence quite lazy to blog these days.

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.
