Just a non-descript photo of Singapore Exchange. But it holds special significance for me. It symbolises my glorious honey-sweet night of freedom. Released from responsibility, I attended a finance seminar at night, taking advantage of the fact that my wife and kids were away in Japan.
Although I was alone, I savoured my solitude. I felt exhilarated having nuggets of information about REITs seep into my consciousness and dug into the sandwiches without a care in the world. That night was me flapping my wings of independence. Now, as I look at this photo, I am reminded of my last heart-thumping frontier of liberation. I haven’t been able to attend a night seminar since then, so that rare night out feels especially precious.
