Driving my brother-in-law's car. Cash card goes faulty at gantry. Stuck. Rain starts. Cars honking. Call emergency. Lady says use EZ-Link cards. I have those at home. Reverse 100 meters. Guy on PMV yelling "WHAT THE HELL?" Fair question. Then: SCRAPE. Sleep-deprived brain ignored the wall. Perfect. Rush home. Grab cards. 10 minutes topping up. S$50, S$20. Feeling optimistic. Return to gantry. EZ-Link doesn't work. Call again. Phone on Bluetooth. Can't switch speakers. Shouting through car audio to reach intercom 10 meters away. In rain. He needs white location sticker. Panic mode. Can't find it. After 15 minutes pleading, he mentions intercom button. I knew this button existed. Panic brain forgot. Press button. He opens gantry remotely. Plot twist: Found brother-in-law's spare cash card in car later. Entire adventure unnecessary. Lessons: > Sleep is not optional > Panic kills logic > Check for spare cards first It'll be funnier in 10 years. Right now, I know too much about HDB gantries.

The Broken Brains Community Team: Singaporeans are hard workers but lazy investors... in their health and physical fitness. The plan: Start and end at Chinese Garden. Those who want to walk, walk. Those who want to run, run. And those who want to drink... well, someone has to guard the coffee. Reward: Our new dry-fit Broken Brains t-shirt (because nothing says 'I exercised' like moisture-wicking fabric you'll wear to future coffee meetings). ☕👕🧠

There are 3 core pillars to full brain injury recovery. 1. Diet > Exercise > Sleep. This is my usual breakfast. Ingredients include: - instant oats - mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, etc) - banana If I have blueberries and strawberries, I'll throw that in there too. I can't explain why or how this boosts brain injury recovery. You have to experience it for yourself.

@tipn the experience to claim and stake was smooth as silk. And I didn't have to leave Farcaster. Being right there in the workflow is a great way to get more users. At NNI, neurosurgeons have the option to use voicebuddy to record conversations with patients during clinics. But it's not in the workflow. Not all of them use it.

One of the best ways to boost brain injury recovery is to be constantly learning new things. I'm learning Rust the next few weekends. What have you been learning recently?

📣 Other TBI survivors I almost died in a car accident 20 years ago. Head injury rewired my brain. I have a CS background and can read code. But can't write it anymore. My brain just doesn't work that way now. For years I felt broken. Like I lost my value. But I've realized being able to understand technical concepts and explain them simply to non-technical people is just as valuable. I'm the person who translates between devs and everyone else. My brain injury didn't break me. It just made me different. And different can be valuable if you position it right. I'm not the coder I used to be. But I'm someone else entirely now. Still figuring out the best job for me at my age. But I'm still showing up. Putting in effort. Doing the work. Though at times, I admit. It may not be the right effort. That's a skill in and of itself. 20 years later, I finally get it. It's ok to not be ok. If you need downtime take it. Then when ready, get back up and provide value again.

Singapore is 90% safe. Whoever took my tires probably needs it more than me. God bless.

Sneaked in for a complementary breakfast with a buddy at Fairmont Hotel. They didn't check I wasn't a guest. But he was.

Just survived food poisoning, paid $200 to eat more seafood in a smoke-filled room for 3 hours. This is what 20-year friendships will make you do.

Found the perfect badminton partner. Great for practicing hand-eye coordination. I only won because of the height advantage. Give my godson a few more years and my glory days are over.

I'm following Ryan's mental wealth framework. 1 thing I'm grateful for today is that I'm able to recharge just after a 15 minute power nap. 1 challenge that I have today is making sure my energy levels are well enough to do the 3 part time jobs I have. 1 win I have today is that I listened to my body for the first time and took a shower at the gym during office hours, took 2 power naps, and left work early.

From dragon fire to actual fire. Hotpot was the real hero we needed after sitting through 2 hours of air conditioning that could've frozen Hiccup himself.

Caught up with friends I've known for over 20 years. Started in California. And here we are at Newton Circus, Singapore still going strong. Satay's tasty, Coconuts somewhat cold, and the conversations get deeper than the chili sauce. Turns out, the real benefit of having older friends isn’t just that they know all your embarrassing stories. It’s also that you can have real, honest talks about family, life, and everything in between, with no judgement. Here’s to friendships that age well, like good wine and even better gossip.

Just found out from an F1 insider that Singapore's street circuit is brutal. Those narrow roads don't forgive mistakes. But apparently Max has some secret sauce for climbing from bad grid positions to P1 at Marina Bay. Not sure if it's pure skill, setup wizardry, or just that Red Bull magic, but the man finds a way when others can't. Makes me wonder what we're all missing when we watch those Singapore GP battles.
