I decided I didn't want to retire at the end of my life. The Time, Money, Energy Pyramid says as a Youth I have:

√ Time √ Energy X Money, which was true after I graduated from University.


But after 4 years of work I saved enough to fund me 1 year of retirement, YAY. I'm calling this spaced retirement, my generation calls it funemployment, but corporate-speak it's a career break.


Open Quests

1. Pruning my digital garden/second-brain set up to make it easier to maintain. Currently hosting it on Notion. The eventual goal is to publish some stuff here on the website.

2. Editing my travel vlogs from 2022 at kiponi muses. I've been meaning to learn Davinci Resolve and this was the perfect opportunity. I should have ported over earlier because it's so much snappier than Premier Pro.

3. Dancing a bunch, going for open classes, courses and competed in the recent Super24 which we clutched into finals. It's still crazy to me how we were 1 in 4 Singapore teams to have made it. My next dance event is a recital, Ascen(dance), coming up on 20th Sept, Friday, tickets can be found here. I'll be in 2 items, the alumni hip-hop piece and an open genre one.

Closed Quests

  • Revamping portfolio site. The previous site wasn't responsive and the fixed breakpoints were creating formatting problems. I feel so much better with this new redesign :')
