Off the clock

Outside the spreadsheet.

Numbers pay the bills, but they're not the whole story. Here's what I'm into when I close the laptop — the hobbies, the books, the places, and a few opinions worth holding.

Hobbies

What I do when I'm not in a deck.

🏃

Long-distance running

A weekly long run is the closest thing I have to a planning ritual. The forecast doesn't get any clearer at km 18, but the noise definitely thins out.

📷

Street photography

A film camera in the bag on weekends. Singapore's hawker centres, Tokyo's back alleys, Paris in autumn. I am an enthusiastic amateur and a worse archivist.

🛠️

Tinkering with AI tools

Half a hobby, half my next ten years. I prototype small finance utilities — variance commentary, scenario generators, document summarisers — and learn by breaking them.

🎒

Travelling APAC by long weekend

Singapore is a fantastic launch pad. Recent trips: Hanoi, Penang, Hokkaido. Always more interested in the food market than the museum.

Operating principles

A few things I come back to.

  1. /01

    Strong opinions, lightly held — and rewritten when the data changes.

  2. /02

    Build the simplest version that survives the next quarter.

  3. /03

    Forecasts are conversations, not predictions.

  4. /04

    If a deck needs a glossary, it needs a rewrite.

  5. /05

    Hire the people who ask the better second question.

That's the off-clock version.

The professional one's just a click away.
