Almost finishing The Psychology of Money (recommended by my friend)
I think it's a good book to read for young people. It has a lot of wisdom distilled into the book.

Reading The Art of Thinking Clearly by Rolf Dobelli.
It's not bad as well.

I don't usually watch drama series but I got hooked when my wife was watching it back in 2019. Supposed to have a sequel last year but the filming was postponed due to covid.

No leh. Hold queue. Its usually faster than it looks. In my experience. Usually less than a week so far. 

I think from first August, max loan is 3 weeks. Should be faster also!
