I have been writing this column for about two years. I started in January 2021 as a freelance contributor, with the column running on a bi-weekly basis. I have since become a full-time staff and the column runs on a weekly basis.

My column focuses on physical real estate, not that in the metaverse, which my school-going daughter is much more familiar with than I am. Fortunately, the physical property space in Singapore is rather eventful, hence giving me material to dissect.
