1 Year Anniversary - Thank You to Our Readers!

It has been 1 year since we started this blog when there were only 2 readers (CZM read my post while I read hers) to thousands of readers now. Interestingly, the first post of the blog was actually written by CZM - Food in London on 29/12/2016.

Let me share some interesting statistics/numbers which were contributed by each and every readers :)


We have > 215,000 pageviews since inception! The number continues to grow as you read this article. The latest number can be seen on the top left hand side <---


Majority of the readers are from Singapore.


Majority of the readers are between 25-34. Personally, I thought this graph is really interesting. Between 18-24, people have yet to start working hence, there is no need/reason to read up on finance/investment related stuff. 25-34 is when people enter the real world - start working, have some money but do not know what to do with them. 35-44 is when people have worked for at least 10 years, managing finances/investment is lesser of a problem. Precious time are mostly spent with family/children, reading bedtime stories instead of blog posts. The people in the 45-54 group would be thinking this 27 years old couple have not even live through a financial crisis. Better stop blogging. The 55-64 group can tell us that he/she is twice our age. Half will disagree on my CPF related articles while the other half will say good job. I am pretty amazed that 65 and beyond still drop by our blog.

Alternatively, our blog is attracting readers from the age group of 25-34 because we are in this group ourselves. Few years down the road, when we start writing about bao bao (baby) and the above graph might change...


More than 75% of the readers are male. So disappointing, I thought I would have more female fans. There are many other numbers and graphs in google analytics but they do not make much sense to me.


Based on the last 7 days of data, the easiest way to find our blog on Google is by searching for "kpo and czm" or "kpo czm" where the blog is indexed at the number 1 position! A search on "kpo" will bring you to the bar instead. Interestingly, our blog is ranked pretty high up for a search on "stashaway blog", "stashaway performance" or "stashaway returns".


Last but not least, these are the top 5 most popular posts which are accessible in the top right hand side --->

9th Anniversary at JAAN

KPO has decided to bring me to JAAN to celebrate our 9th year anniversary (gosh yes we are together for almost a decade). Some background of JAAN - located at level 70 of Swissotel, this is a French restaurant which was awarded 1 star in the Michelin Guide 2017 and voted as one of Asia's best restaurants 2017. Given this and strong recommendation by our close friend, we decided to give it a try. We were given a nice window seat and this is the view.


There are a few different types of seasonal lunch menu to choose from but being a Kiam Pok, we decided to go for the cheapest option - 4-course menu at $88++ per pax. We also opted to pair it with 3 glasses of wine at $58++ (the a la carte menu for wine costs approx $40 per glass, so it doesn't make sense to order there in my opinion).

1st dish (before the actual 4-course meal)
Foie Gras and Truffle Macaron - KPO's favourite dish


2nd dish
Potato Soup - savoury taste!


3rd dish
Specialty bread with seaweed and normal butter!


4th dish (1st course)
Golden Beetroot


5th dish (2nd course)
Some fish dish - halibut to be more specific.


6th dish (3rd course)
Some pork dish - KPO and I find this the most ordinary among the rest.


7th dish (4th course)
Ivory Caramel - super nice chocolate dessert which includes warm chocolate cake, ice cream and different types of chocolate. CZM super love this dish!


8th dish - complimentary chocolate dish (not counted as part of the 4 course meal)
Couldn't remember the name of this, but there were 3 different bite-size choc provided by the restaurant. By the time this dish came, we were so full that we were already having food coma. @.@


As this was our anniversary celebration, JAAN has also thoughtfully provided us with a petite chocolate cake to celebrate this occasion with us.

Overall, each dish is designed like an art piece and the service there is top-notch. Highly recommend people to go there for special occasions!
