Steadfast

What drives and inspires you to continue to do what you do, day in and out?
Two things: Knowing that I’m loved, and that I’ve yet to do my best work.

Best decision ever?
Marrying my wife.

What’s the one thing you think you should be doing more of, or that you wish you had more time to be doing?
Spending more time with my family; my kids especially. They’re only young once, and Singaporeans work too hard.

People don’t know this, but I…
Play the drums.

Favourite book and movie?
I loved the Narnia series as a child, and the Lord Of The Rings after. I reckon British fantasy is the best. Favourite movie of all time would be this really old (1938!) Errol Flynn movie: The Adventures of Robin Hood. I watched that over and over again as a kid and a few times as an adult. I know almost every scene, but somehow it’s a great watch every time.

I would tell my younger self:
Don’t kancheong (panic)—you’re in good hands.
