In this issue, I'd like to do something different. All of the highlights are very interesting videos from TED talks about the way we think. The videos are between 15 to 30 minutes, but they are well worth your time I promise. Hope these resources will help create marginal changes in your life every so often. Let's be enlightened together!

Testimonials and Referral Notes

Gwen | Former Civil Servant, Independent Cat Rescuer

Having known Thomas for more than a decade, I can confidently vouch for his trustworthiness and reliability. Instead of taking the convenient way out, he makes the effort to reach out whenever he senses that his acquaintances are going through a rough patch and may need more support than before. On top of being a grounded and dependable person, Thomas is also an animal lover which speaks volumes of his values. He shows compassion to stray cats and has supported my fundraisers on a few occasions, which allowed more cats to be helped/rescued along the way. A steadfast and understanding friend, I have utmost faith in his recommendations!

Sarah | Administrative Executive

Thomas is always very prompt with his replies. He has helped my family members and I to identify and address the protection gaps in our portfolio, as well as assisted us with several claims. I am very grateful for his advice and help.

Jowin | IT Consultant

Thomas never fails to bring his radiance and competence to the table whenever we meet. His helpful demeanor and never-say-die attitude reflects what he is -- a trusted and reliable friend. Thomas is detail-oriented in nature, and is not afraid to speak the truth, as harsh as it may be. I'm certain that his clients appreciate his genuinity and candidness. I'd recommend anyone looking for financial advice to give Thomas an opportunity to show you his brilliance, and how he stands out amongst the sea of financial consultants.

Hui Qin | Sales Executive

Esther Lee | Research Executive

While conversations with Thomas are usually light-hearted due to his humorous nature, he has displayed great competence whenever it comes to serious topics. I have always felt comfortable talking to him about my finances as he is never pushy. He is also able to break down complicated concepts into ways that are easy to understand, and that has benefitted me a lot on my financial journey. I'm confident that apart from myself, his other clients also appreciate his sincerity and competence. I would surely recommend him to family and friends whom I think can benefit from a conversation with him.

Zhi Xuan | Administrative Assistant

Thomas is someone who is fun-loving and caring. Back when we were working together, our work environment was also always filled with laughter due to his presence. He frequently made an effort to check in with our colleagues to ensure that they were doing okay, and would also help us out in whatever way he could.
