What I'm doing now

I'm part of the Strategic Planning team in the Ministry of Manpower's Communications and Engagement Division. I've been here for over a month and I'm learning the ropes! It's very different from teaching and offers different challenges...but that's what I signed up for :)

Other things I've done recently

• Started reading comics through single issues and collecting good covers
• Hit 4.5km in my training for a 10k
• Read 76 books (with a target of 80 books)
• Tried out my first game of Dungeons and Dragons, sailing on The Miguel

Insight that I've been mulling over

You got to go first. (h/t Gabby Reece)

Current identity piece I'm building

I practise meditation daily for 1-10 minutes via The Way

Current goals

1. Becoming World Champion of Public Speaking by 2035
2. Completing a 10k run in Dec 2025

Books I'm reading 📖/listening 🎧 to

1. Grafity's Wall by Ram V, Anand R K, and Aditya Bidikar 📖
2. Doom Patrol by Grant Morrison Omnibus 📖
3. Seneca: A Life by Emily Wilson 📖 (part of a book club with a good friend)
4. Meditations: The Annotated Edition by Marcus Aurelius, trans. Robin Waterfield 📖
5. Nightwing Vol.1: On With the Show by Dan Watters and Dexter Soy 📖 (5 ⭐️)
6. Lustrum by Robert Harris 📖 (5 ⭐️)

Also...what is a "Now" page?

This idea is from Derek Sivers. What you see here is what I'd tell a friend I hadn’t seen in a year, to give them the big picture of my life.
