I don’t know what makes a person who they are, but it definitely isn’t just what they’ve done in their careers. So, here’s how I’ve spent my time so far and a list of other subtly pretentious milestones:

• Born in sunny island Singapore
• Got good grades in school but no girls liked me
• Learnt to use Adobe Page Maker, Illustrator and Photoshop before I knew how to use PowerPoint and Excel
• Dreamt of becoming a Hollywood film director
• Directed a short film and won a national short-film competition as the only non-film-school student
• Bedroom guitarist
• Jumped above 4.50m in pole vault while training 4 times a week for 10 years but never made it to the Olympics
• Commander in the Army
• Moved to London with 2 big luggages on my own to study Finance at LSE, even though it was my first time in the UK
• Worked in the day, studied in the night, got interested and taught myself programming past midnights
• Got good grades again, but this time despite juggling two jobs on the side (asset management and venture cap)
• Bartended during summer breaks, was fun
• Survived almost a whole month on Huel during crunch time
• Was very lost in life and not gonna lie, felt like competency and ambition was a curse
• Younger siblings recently called me a “motherly figure”
• Inline skated 30km on my first try
• Still exercises at least 3 times a week till this day
