Last week, I started singing lessons with Yuan Meng Asia. I hope this will herald a new beginning, as I will be able to gain some momentum on some initiatives that are different from the various financially related pursuits I have been obsessed with all my life.
But as it turns out, singing is a practical skill for an investment trainer, and I was practising diaphragmatic breathing techniques to reduce stress on my neck muscles during my lessons.
It is also very different to focus on non-cognitive skills for a change. I was pleasantly surprised to find that minor modifications in exhaling can improve singing quality, though I had to endure the discomfort of knowing that my singing is nowhere near the level to compete in a TV competition. Following instructions to the letter is also very challenging, as it depends more on "feel" than on thought, and I'm a long way from developing muscle memory.
For my first lesson, I might have over-stretched myself by selecting Fei Yu Qings Yi1 Jian3 Mei2 as my go-to practice song. In hindsight, I might have chosen something easier, like Radiohead's Creep or Ed Sheeran's Photograph.
Anyway, I have 9 more lessons to go. For those interested in singing lessons, I'm helping my ACLP classmate promote her business.

Back to my YouTube Channel, I have one new video up on dividend fund strategies that I dislike :
