Dream

When will a dream come true?
Is it only upon a blue moon
as I wait by the shade of the night hue
Praying that the time comes soon
When will a dream come true?
Is it the time when I finally wake
To a world of chaos
and it has no sense to make
When will a dream come true?
Is it a thing too much to ask for
Or am I just a gullible fool
Till the time I dream no more


From an original piece I have posted back in year 2003 on Deviantart.

When I don't have too much mental capacity to trade or do anything else, I would now find solace and calm of mind in art creation. It's a passion which I have stopped pursuing after graduation and recently reignited.

Given limited time in each phase of our life, we tend to give up on something of initial interest as we pursue what seems most important at the moment. When we finally achieved, sometimes, we may doubt ourselves on how meaningful is that eg. a promotion. 

It's perhaps time for me to take a pause again.

To arts.

Good art to me is a reflection of reality that can evoke emotions via the artist's work of imagination. Art a form of expression of our inner desires as we seek perfections in a world of imperfections.

I am especially impressed by this artist Yuumei. View her mind-blowing artworks on Deviantart - https://www.deviantart.com/yuumei/art/

She's one of the rare artists who advocated "do good" and highlighted environmental issues through her beautiful digital paintings. There's so much meaning packed into her art work and it's simply mind-blowing looking at the details of each one.


Have you found anybody that inspired you lately?



Many times I look at people I admire and say to myself "Wow, I want to be able to do that!" but the next moment I start making excuses on why I can't. 


Regardless of what we are most passionate about, when we can tie our work to the notion of "doing good", and it uplifts us spiritually, that should be more fulfilling than monetary gains. 

However, I have started to realize passion is only possible when you are your own boss - when you don't have to pander to the standard of your boss but to your clients who appreciate your work for what it is.


We need to be our own boss at some point of time in life. Don't we?

    If we can tokenize artwork to sell for charity cause I think that will be awesome. However, accountability wise it would be an issue (but on the bright side not transparency issue).

    It could be an idea to explore for the eth community.

Reflections for year 2024

2024 has been a relatively peaceful year. So peaceful that I have read countless novels and other books, met my sports buddies almost every weekend and picked up horticulture. Physical and mental health As we say, health is wealth. I have stuck fairly consistently with my exercise regime and tried to include more fruits and vegetables in my meals (although I eat out more and cook less these days). My weight, BP and cholesterol levels are doing ok. For those 40 years and above, remember to get your  subsidized health screenings from the government . Working less and meeting up with friends more contributed to an improved mental health. I see that the government has stepped up on initiatives in the community but work place initiatives from employers still seemed lackluster, especially for those who can't WFH and need to commit 44 hours or more a week at frontline work. I have also started a Gratitude journey to celebrate all my little life milestones. Financials Investment wise ...

The best credit card for my new house renovation

As updated in my previous post, I have finally bought my own place. For the past few months I have been busy coordinating with various contractors and vendors for my house renovation. As I am still on A flexi work schedule, I decided to be my own ID. With only a simple renovation plan in mind, I set my reno budget at $20,000 (aircon & fixtures inclusive). The renovation process and acting as my own ID were not as easy as I thought. It took me about a month to gather and compare quotations from different contractors and another few weeks to finalize all the things that I need my chosen contractor to do. I eventually settled for a main contractor who specializes in carpentry work but also provides painting, tiling and electrical services. I have grossly underestimated the amount of defects that need fixing for this resale flat. Fortunately, the floor tiles and some of the existing built-ins are still in good condition so I kept them, otherwise I would have burst my budget. The first ...

Shit happens and I lost my low-hanging fruits

My POSB SAYE account just hit its 25th month —the much-anticipated “month of maturity.” I was all ready to enjoy the 3.5% bonus interest I’d patiently saved for… only to receive a measly $17+ cash gift instead of a few hundred dollars. I was about to send a message to query the bank what caused this interest drop versus what I have gotten on the 13th month. Confused, I double checked my account history and— gasp! —found a single $50 transfer I’d made to a joint account in one of the past months. I hadn’t even realized that I’d chosen the SAYE account as the fund transfer source. For those unfamiliar with the T&Cs of POSB SAYE: “To receive the additional 3.5% p.a. Cash Gift Interest, ensure that you do not make any withdrawal from your POSB SAYE account.”   “If a withdrawal is made in the month, this will result in the previously accumulated additional 3.5% p.a. interest to be forfeited.” Yes, one tiny transfer = months of bonus interest gone . Even depositing it back the...
