  • #PGHomeStories | Yeri Tiete & Shan Wong’s Home Refinancing Journey

    Shan and I recorded this a few months ago for PropertyGuru. Didn’t know it was also on YouTube (they were mostly using it in ads and on facebook/Instagram). Keeping it here as archive. 🙂

  • Singapore Metro

    For the Metro nerds among us…

  • Talent drain?

    “City of London Faces Brexit Talent Drain“. I guess that was not unexpected. This could level the playing fields a bit for other big capitals like Amsterdam, Paris, Frankfurt and maybe even Brussels.

    PropertyGuru interview
