A peek into an oddball teen's mind.

Wah time flies man. So fast one year liao ah!! It's that time of the year ah boy asks u to spend a few hours and 10 dollars to have fun la! Play game , chit chat , maybe share or learn more about finance and make more friends! See my post last year about it  here   . Ya , National Cashflow Competition is back. Game is still the same , Asset Finesse , Venue also still the same. What is the National Cashflow Competition 2016? National Cashflow Competition (NCF) 2016 is the largest annual event proudly presented to you by NTU Investment Interactive Club (NTU-IIC). This year, their organising committee is happy to introduce  a locally designed board game, Asset Finesse ™  (AF). This board game is suitable for anyone that seeks to  understand the economics of Singapore, to appreciate the uniqueness of a small but economically-powerful nation. More importantly, it provides players with a fun-learning experience about finance in general. ...

Yo ! Morning all I'm writing this short blog post as part of my insomnia routine. Kidding la , kidding. I just happen to be awake at this hour. So as most people know , usually as students , we get to undergo internships . I did my stint with a local sme . After ending the internship , the fine peeps over @ Xpresstuition made me an offer i couldn't refuse , as most of y'all might know , ah boy is pretty happy being a business owner and i kinda enjoy my current life lol.... so if you were to get me to be an employee that goes into office from 9 to 6 ..... i think i would go NUTS lol. Yeah , so when they offered me to head up their new business development department , i was pretty happy la (OK LA , I WAS PRETTY EXCITED lol , from intern getting promoted!! ) Ya la , long story cut short. The low down was that i'm exempted from going to office daily , and that i get to interview and form my own team. Good news was that management agreed. Problem was that i had no i...

Yo ! Ah Boy is finally "UMEMPLOYED" !! Funny leh , unemployed and yet i'm so happy.... i know what you must be thinking... this ah boy siao liao ah? For me , being unemployed is one of the happiest thing that has happened to me , because i've finally graduated from my studies!! Damn , after endless nights of nightmares , i finally turn from full time student to .... unemployed. Well for my off day , i decided to KLKK ( Hokkien for walking around ). An acquaintance alerted me to a news article a while back in the papers , with a portfolio shown every week done up by CFA professionals as part of a moneysense  initiative  , a short 2 hour seminar will be held every 2 monthsor so ba. I also managed to meet up with my accountant , to settle tax issues (Remember to file your taxes soon ah! ) and also to do a bit of business reorganisation as part of my portfolio review. For the most part , the seminar focused on enforcing or rather instilling the discipline that...

Ya. The post is sombre la. I've just lost a relative today . R.I.P. This post is sort of a self reminder for all of us and most importantly me. A few close friends and acquaintances know this , the others don't. I went into hospital twice last December. When i was in there , on the hospital bed i actually told my mum where i has stashed my "will" , together with my list of things i wanna do but couldn't do.... my bucket list. Then she told me : " Choy , don't anyhow say" etc etc. I explained to her my rationale of writing up my "will" and other stuffs so that : 1) I would have less regrets should i leave the world then. 2) I would know that they would be taken care of as per my asset / beneficiaries allocation. 3) Lesser chances they would contest aka fight aka turn me over in my grave. I've a will that is going to be valid once i turn 21 , with my lawyer. (Oh ya , irritatingly , below 21 can't do a  legally binding will...

Good morning world :) Guess i had too much coffee for lunch yesterday , some fellow bloggers , ( The more experienced ones, i noobie ma , such as ASSI AK (Old Uncle AK71) , Invest Openly (Uncle Richard Ng) ,A Path To Forever Financial Freedom (3Fs , aka Brian Halim) , and many of the likes have revealed their holdings (what counters they bought etc.) . Ah boy did a small small pie chart on that when Uncle Rich did a web interview for me a while back , simple Q and As. I did a small pie chart to show my portfolio allocation and i think it's time to write a bit more on the stuff inside my small small portfolio , before that , let's check out the previous pie chart. Because i run a small business , it constitutes for 30% of my investments , Investment Grade Gold and Silver Bullion constitutes another 30% of my portfolio then ( NOTE: These IGPM can be converted to cash in 24hrs? So it's also Cash and Short Term Investment , macam those list co balance sheet u know? ...

Hi all As y'all prolly might know by now.... ah boy doesn't blog about specific counters , but due to a special request by a few clients , i've decided to do a segment on IPOs. Specifically IPOs for Singapore (for now) and IPOs that i've taken a look at... i'm at most times , a frog in a well.... in hiding so forgive me if the news travels slower ah... the well is very deep. For those IPOs you want me to write about in my anyhow hantam way , please , pm me on facebook , leave me a comment below , or just message me if y'all have my handphone number eh :) Ps. all the stuff below are written just for laughs.The serious stuff if you need , there is SGX , other bloggers out there for it.

This CMC INFOCOMM Limited ah.... this ginna (kid) caught my attention for 3 reasons....

Hi everyone , Ah boy is becoming a broken tape recorder at this rate but let's continue where i left off the last time round.  As most of us know , financial literacy levels are dipping not only in Singapore , but also worldwide.  In this post , ah boy shall explore ways that we can bring it up! Ah boy self coins myself ah boy as I'm much younger than many of the finance bloggers out there and as such , don't expect to see ultra chim words in my blog. Just 5 steps to improve your understanding of financial literacy or that's how i did it la , not orthodox at all de: 1) Pick up an annual report (AR) I recall vaguely back in 2009 i first started seeing these thick "books" with lots of pictures and stuff on my then neighbour's doorstep, he was waiting for the karang guni man i assume (then where got pdf one? LOL) , now on hindsight , i think it might be due to the financial crisis then. I remember this one very clearly , i picked ...
