I was in real estate for 2.5 years
Then I went to China to start an education business. I was thinking forward to about 10 years later when I want to return to Singapore.

Real estate is good biz, but your evenings are always not with your family. You have to reserve it for house viewings. But in the day, quite free. For me, family is important too. So I looked for another opportunity. And then China looked attractive at that point in time. So I dived in to try. Though I did not do education business first. I was in general trading first, then education. I'm quite happy now. China is a crazy place.
