Why Side Quests?

9/7/2025 • intro · personal

A space for the random challenges, experiments, and reflections that don’t fit neatly into my main work.

Singapore life can feel like one long main quest — study hard, chase the career ladder, keep moving faster. I’ve been on that path in tech and security, but along the way I keep finding these smaller detours: things I try on the side, ideas I can’t shake off, and lessons that don’t quite fit into my “serious work.”

That’s what Side Quests is about. A place to park the random but meaningful stuff:

  • Personal challenges I set for myself.
  • Thoughts on money, property, or just trying to budget better in this city.
  • Crypto experiments, half-baked frameworks, or reflections on what it means to keep up here.
  • Basically, anything under the sun that sparks curiosity.

I’m not aiming for polished essays here. These are quick takes, honest notes, maybe even messy at times. The goal is simple: share the journey of figuring things out — as a Singaporean, as an overachiever, as someone just trying to find the best way forward.

If the main blog is where I build credibility, Side Quests is where I stay curious.
