Hi All, this is my blog.
I believe in the following things.
Short term dreams:
1) To be a extremely gd player for bridge in 2 yrs time
2) To make myself a better person, treat people around me nicer, make the world a better place
Long term dreams:
1) Making my first million by age 35
Quote:
if u were to improve ourselves by just 1% every day, over 1 year, you will have improved yourself by about 500%....wow...that is making yourself 5 times a better person than today...
Life is a short journey, treasure it and lead a happy one.

Back from Japan (Part 1)
Had quite a fun trip there.
10 most impt things in Japan:
1) There is only 1 official language in Japan, and that is Japanese 2) To operate a vending machine in Japan, always remember red represent hot drinks and blue represent cold drinks. 3) Coins in japan come in 1,5,10,50,100,500. For comparison, 1000 Yen = 13 Sin dollars. 5 and 50 yen coins have a hole in the middle, 10 yen is bronze, 5 yen is golden in colour, the rest are all silver. 4) Vending machines are almost everywhere, and they also have cigarette machines. Similar to vending machine concept. And despite high cost of living, cigarette is abt 4 sin dollar per pack. 5) Japan tallest mountain is Mount Fuji. There are 10 stations along Mount Fuji, and only the first 5 stations are accessible by car. Fifth station is at 2305m above sea level. Mt Fuji is almost 3800m tall 6) Entrance fee to enter Disneyland is 5300 Yen, and to enter Universal Studio is 5800 Yen. About almost 70-80 dollars per person for 1 day. 7) There are 2 v fast way to get around Japan. 1st is by domestic flights by plane. 2nd is by bullet train, which can travel at 300km/h or faster. 8) In tokyo, for travelling on escalator, left is for slower ppl (similar to singapore). But for osaka, it is the other way round, right for slower ppl. Tokyo and Osaka Japanese speak different form of Japanese. 9) Osaka Airport is in the middle of the sea, built on reclaimed land with a connecting bridge. Airport Name is Kansai Airport. V beautiful airport. 10) Flight from Singapore to Japan is abt 6 hrs and time difference in Japan is 1 hr. Japan is 1 hr faster than singapore.
