Learnings from being in Australia for 4 months.
Many people have asked me how my time in Australia was. I spent almost four months in Perth in the state of Western Australia, and discovered that although it was only a short 4-5 hour flight from Singapore, the way of life Down Under couldn’t be more different. Here are the main takeaways, which may be interesting for Singaporeans who are curious about life in Western Australia (WA). Life in WA suits certain profiles much more than others You’d have to understand that min

God spoke to me while I kite-surfed.
I'm not typically a sea sports person. But my wife, who was a windsurfer before, encouraged me to go kite-surfing with her while we were in Bali recently. I thought, why not? The photo shows us happily standing on the beach, but actually kitesurfing is nothing like that. In fact, it's far more breathtaking, intense and fulfilling. I never thought I'd say those things.

Just 2 more seconds to bliss.
I wasn't expecting much of myself at IPPT, our annual army fitness test. I would usually fail once, or twice, but eventually pass with persistence.

Mistakes include a body that isn't low enough, or a butt-high po

K-dramas, fairytales and faith.
I've always loved shows. I think I got it from my mum, who used to make sure she records her favourite shows so she can watch them after work. She had so many, she would watch them on fast playback so she could capture everything. But K-drama fever didn't really get to me till much later after I met my wife. Then, I realised, why haven't I caught on earlier? K-dramas are absolute fairytales, a concoction of impossible coincidences, perfectly thoughtful and sensitive men, wome

Here are the thoughts of a writer.
