<p>My other love, besides CDramas and Tech is Finance. Yeah, I know right? Who knew. I like learning about investing and financial shenanigans in the industry. Anyway, if you want to be up to date with finance stuff, Patrick Boyle is a favourite of mine. His dry humor really makes all that deep financial stuff palatable and hilarious 😆</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Finance" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Finance</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Twitter</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/X" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>X</span></a></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/B1_aOQ3RbHg?si=gAzaWESzCy4PTE4H" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/B1_aOQ3RbHg?si=gAzaWE</span><span class="invisible">SzCy4PTE4H</span></a></p>

"In the face of these difficulties, my resistance to the Japanese language lessened over the months. I discovered that it was not made up of Chinese characters alone. It had a syllabary system, written in two scripts: katakana and hiragana. If the Japanese were to be in Singapore as my lords and masters for the next few years, and I had not only to avoid trouble but make a living, I would have to learn their language. So in May 1942 I registered with the first batch of students at the Japanese language school the authorities had opened in Queen Street. It was a three-month course. The students were of varying ages and abilities, some from secondary schools, some like me from college, and others young workers in their 20s. I passed and got my certificate. I found Japanese much easier than Mandarin because it was not tonal, but more complicated in its inflections and grammar." if only people of that time had the privilege of learning from youtube android dolls and guides compiled on anime boards
