About Me

My photo
goomba
Singapore
I graduated from the Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) in 2005 with a degree in business, specialising in actuarial science. My professional certifications include CFA, CAIA and CFP, and I have a financial adviser's licence. I enjoy food and wine, and I swim and climb stairs regularly to keep fit. I also love cooking, though I am better at making Western food than Chinese food. I watch/read lots of animes and mangas, and I am a hardcore collector of figurines, which are mainly from animes and Transformers. I am an avid gamer too, with a Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, PSP, and DS Lite. I love Classical music, and I play the piano, organ, and cello. I love animals, especially dogs, but I detest monkeys. Unlike most other people out there, I don't go out on Friday nights. And I have absolutely no interest in soccer.
