If you didn't know, I've always been a big fan of Urban Exploration (Urbex) in Singapore, and by extension, have gained an appreciation for the history behind Singapore's iconic and forgotten sites. I don't think it'll be too much of a stretch to say that the great majority of Singaporeans have heard of the renowned Haw Par Villa , a theme park revolving around the central theme of Chinese mythology, illustrating various scenes from punishment in hell to certain aspects of Confucianism. Not to mention, it's an all-time favourite haunt (pun absolutely intended) for paranormal investigators, hoping to capture evidence of the notorious legend involving the park acting as the portal to hell. Have you ever actually wondered how is it funded though?

Recently, I've had a lot of friends ask me for some good stock picks, with no idea on how to invest their funds. Of course, like I said earlier, I'm not an investment guru or certified financial planner. Hell, I don't think I'm even generating alpha or creating better risk-adjusted returns. Nevertheless, I figured that it would be fun for me to try to create a $200K SGD portfolio and briefly justify my picks. Do take note that this is from a 3-5+ year investing time frame view, although there are still some picks which would be good long-term holds. It's more of a mixed bag really with a focus on value investing. Enough chit chat then, let's get straight to the point with some brief description / rationale for each stock!
