AFTER overspending on shopping while studying in South Korea late last year, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) undergraduates Lim Yu Xin, 21, and Lim Jiing Wei, 22, turned to the stock market to make some money back.
"We felt guilty after spending too much on shopping, so we had a lot of motivation," said Jiing Wei with a laugh.
Said Yu Xin: "I would even look at the stock market on my phone while in the bathroom, and if I see a stock suddenly go up, I would shout out: 'Jiing Wei, look at this!'"
