About Me

UPDATE: Since mid 2015, I have been traveling & don't have a permament home:

CURRENT MISSION

To live simply so that others may simply live

ABOUT ME

I was born & raised in Singapore. In 1997, Hewlett Packard Company relocated me to California. I have been working & living in the US since then. 2007 was an interesting year for me. That year, I started working on my book called The Happy Minimalist. The message of the book: If you lead a simple life, you can afford to retire young; it is good for your health and definitely better for the planet. By the time I completed my book, it became clear it was time for me to leave the corporate world. I left HP in June 2008 and got my book out the next month.
