Hey there, it’s been awhile. 👋

I’ve been meaning to update this whole page to change with what my passions are today. From photography club in university to now working in retail, things change so quickly, huh?

And yep, that’s why I’m going to talk more about what’s coming up in this year alone. Yes, it’s going to be insane. Which is why – new year, new look.

So what’s changed? A lot. Probably going to go through all of them paragraph by paragraph. Let’s go and be prepared for a long read! 😁

Photography

You’re probably wondering; “Why switch to something minimalistic?”, “And where are all the photo galleries from before?” Photography and videography is something I still hold dearly but it went off the rails. Simply, because I realised how “photo-adverse” I am lol.

How? It made me mad that I couldn’t do a proper job even though I needed experience. The perfectionist in me just couldn’t take it when I don’t take a nice photo. I think the insecurity started when I joined the photography club in university. I took a lot of photos, mind you; for clubs, for friends, for family, for events, and for myself. But, it wasn’t enough. I felt that I’ve not progressed at all and I’m just a guy that’s rich enough to purchase a 5D Mark III – just like the majority of people who do get DSLRs. 😂

So yes, I’m pretty much now the iPhone camera guy. Semi-retired from the DSLR unless there’s a big event or trip where I can help without pressure, then yeah. Otherwise, I usually use the “oh I forgot to charge my batteries” excuse – sorry guys. 😅

Relationship Marriage 💑

I think most of my close friends know I got attached in 2016 but here we are in 2018 and still with my woman. Not just that, I’m getting married this year – shocker. 🙀 Yep, that’s right folks, Mrs Tan is on the way.

So I’ll just put a photo here to show you how we’re going to look on our wedding day.

Welp, that was quick. Certainly, without a doubt. And for reasons such as…

New home

Wut? What funny ideas were you getting? Of course, it’s a new house – duh. And yep, I’ve just come full circle and it’s time for some adulting. It’s probably time since I’m 28 this year. Better to start early than late.

It’s going to be ready this coming March/April – another shocker. 🙀 So get ready your housewarming stuff cause I’m going to slowly invite you guys once it’s all ready! 🤑

And where’s this amazing place, you say? It’s called “The Criterion” and it’s at Yishun. Don’t worry, it’s in the safer part of Yishun – I hope. Let me paste the map and let me know if it is. 😅

There it is! My magnificent new home in the future. I’ll let the developers tell you all about it: http://www.cdlhomes.com.sg/the-criterion/

Work at that fruit company

I think most of you know where I work. I’m not going to leak any “juicy” or “crunchy” details about it. Some of you – whom I’ve not talked to for years – have already been asking me for discounts once you found out. 😒 Sorry can’t do, I’ve got a quota. But to those that I’ve helped – yes I’m looking at you, Siying – I hope you enjoyed them! 😁

Moving along, I’ve moved up from the corporate side of things to the retail store. Yes, we’ve only got 1 right now. Pretty obvious now, I hope. But it’s been crazy busy and tiring too. It’s something I’m actually still actively trying to adapt to. It’s fast paced, customer facing, and standing all day. But I must say, it’s really fun. I find myself lost in a conversation with customers that we can be in for hours – don’t they need to go somewhere though? 😅 And the gratitude I receive from them about the purchase is simply, priceless.

So yes, it’s been great but I feel like there’s more to it and I’ve gotta push harder this year. Probably after the wedding. 😁

Friends

Hi. I know I haven’t been the best friend in the world. Messages usually end with me not replying and I would come back only in like, 2 months? 😅

It’s not an ideal situation. But adulting is tough. On off days, I’m out with my lady on errands – either for the house or wedding. On other days, I’m just looking to disconnect and play those games I’ve missed for so long or just catch up on YouTube or literally lie in bed the whole day. The phone is literally sitting in my dock, not feeling any love from me – albeit playing games on it.

And you know what, it’s liberating. The pressure is off. I don’t have to always be on my phone to reply. Truthfully, I usually forget to reply once I put the text aside. So, thank you to those who didn’t get really angry when I didn’t send birthday messages or reply to you quick enough or to just catch up. 😊

What I do want to change though, is to meet up with all of you physically – and to pass those wedding invitations on. I just want to let you know what’s changed personally and to let you know what’s going to happen in this year or even the next. So hold on to your seats, ladies and gentlemen. I’ll be meeting a lot of you soon enough – if the Mrs approves that is.

New hobbies

Gaming has and always will be the number 1 thing that gets me going. That and technology. So that hasn’t changed. I’ve actually updated my suite of consoles with the latest edition of the Nintendo 3DS and Switch which I can’t wait to complete all the games on. I’ve got my Playstation 4 and Wii U as well for the crib when it’s ready! 🎮

The next one is pretty huge – because everyone’s talking about it. Yes, everyone in the world. It’s on the news every day. 😒 That’s right, it’s cryptocurrency. Yep, I’m investing and playing around with it. But that’s not what I’m here about.

It’s become a really diverse place out there but it’s really confusing with all the new coins and terminologies. And it’s pretty unforgiving. So I’ve decided to create a site to guide the uninitiated to the world of cryptocurrencies. I like researching about coins – pretty much 80% of the time spent on the computer now – and finding tips that through the hardest way possible – losing my own money. So I’m going to be here to help. 🖖 I hope it spreads so that people can know more! But I’m just going to do it out of my own passion for cryptocurrency – until shit hits the ceiling. But till then, we good. 😁

And I’ve already got it partly set up – https://cryptohumans.io – which is based on a guide for humans such as myself so that we can proceed to invest in the future of technology through blockchain. Yes, not really about getting cash but that works too. 😊

Fin.

P.S.

I’m just going to end my posts like this in the future. I’m going to do my best to update this as regularly as I can. Or whenever I meet up with peeps – I need to start organising them!
