What I chose
Decisions.
Real choices, made in context. Each record shows the reasoning, uncertainty and evidence that could change the judgment.
Money
Yes, I bought a car in Singapore.
A car was not the cheapest transport option. For this stage of our family's life, it bought enough time, mobility and convenience to justify the premium.
Health
I chose running AND golf. Here’s why.
They are almost comically opposite. That is precisely why I kept both.
Writing
It’s 2026. Why I still choose to write.
desmondkhoo.com will remain writing-first. Video may reach more people. Writing is still better for the kind of thinking I want to produce.
Family
No trust fund. No family safety net. Why I chose fatherhood in Singapore.
Cost informed our decision to build a family in Singapore. I refused to let it make the decision entirely.
