Colin has been the ‘token Asian,’ the ‘ABC’, the ‘house husband,’ the ‘token Dad,’ and most recently the ‘part timer who does the pickups.’

Life is tough when you move countries; tougher still in role-reversals. Colin is a Singaporean who left for college in 1991. He has a business undergraduate degree from the Cox School of Business in Dallas, Texas majoring in Organizational Behavior with Honors.

Colin returned to Singapore after graduation because of the golden rule – basically, “whoever holds the gold, rules.” Making his parents happy but also embarking on an amazing dot-com roller coaster ride, he lived a frenetic life. After drawing the ire of no less than the Singapore government in one of his stints as VP in a shonky E-commerce company, he moved to Perth, Western Australia. The exit strategy was to return to continue Emmy’s further specialist training. Emmy, wife, was seemingly a victim of some international politicking between UK and Aussie medical training program.

To make a long story long, it really was a case of ‘any excuse will do’ to leave for a different place, if you get my drift.

Starting life in Australia was an amazing adventure. Tasked to expand a listed online insurance broker into South East Asia, he jetted between Singapore and Hong Kong, but was eventually ingested into Perth HQ with the Tech Wreck of 2000.

In another of life's amazing turns, Colin found out that he was expecting his first son, quickly made redundant from collapsing online insurance broker, and picked up two new hobbies - fishing and cooking! This started him off on another amazing journey as house husband; sometimes cook, sometimes driver, sometimes parent, sometimes aspiring entrepreneur, but all the time responsible!

Colin and William also found happiness in a Montessori playgroup environment, with La Casa Dei Bambini Montessori Playgroup. Life however continues, and Colin was still driving such projects as Martial Arts Training and Conferences, Search Engine Optimisation, and undergoing his Master's of Business and Technology ... of which he graduated in 2005.

With second child Bethany, an imbalance between work-life occurred. It was soon clear that the amount of work and stress was not sustainable. Colin embarked on a simplification exercise. It was basically to clear his schedule in order to regain a semblance of control. Once done, it was then time to return to the fold, and stare life down.

Colin invites you to join him while trying to keep his head over water.
