The GP Rebel
Everybody’s looking for better answers.
Shouldn’t we be asking better questions?
This space is my quiet, thinking spot where I try to figure out how things connect while deconstructing how the world works. It’s my attempt to make sense of the world from where I stand.
Two books, one continuing inquiry
From the blank page to the world.
In Stop. Listen. Think., the GP Rebel faces a blank space. Before writing comes the harder work: listening to a question, examining its assumptions and deciding what needs to be said.
In People, Peace and Power-Ups: A Singaporean Retrospective, that same space is filled with the world we inhabit.
One book explores the process of thinking. The other explores the questions that make thinking worthwhile.
Two different books. One continuing inquiry.

The Books
Stop. Listen. Think. is a guide to optimising the first 5 to 10 minutes of planning time before writing an exam essay.
People, Peace and Power-ups is an anthology of essays inspired by the exam questions from the G.C.E. ‘A’ Level General Paper (2021-2024).
Featured essays
The following is a sample of the essays that I’ve built the first chapter of the book around:
Why I write
Why write when we live in the age of X? Why go through the laborious process of publishing on paper when self-publishing electronically in 280-character bursts could potentially reach an audience that could instantly make you globally famous or infamous?
The world is confusing enough. So many want to be heard, so many possibilities clamour to be believed. Sometimes, we just need to listen to ourselves as we sort through the chaos that pulls our attention every which way, and instead focus inward, sifting out our fundamental truth from the cacophony around us.
Writing is about drawing out connections from the weird, wild and wonderful range of all that we see, hear and experience, making the effort to turn noise into signal. So here I am, offering a glimpse of being born and raised in Singapore, and being part of the ebb and flow of global politics, economics, technology, arts and culture. How do we – the nation and I – make sense of it all?
