Hey there, I’m Muaaz Bin Samat, born and raised in Singapore! I am a strong believer in learning many different skills outside of your field of study. As a Singaporean, most are taught to study hard, get good grades in N/O/A levels, get good grades in Polytechnic/Junior College, get a degree, get married, have kids, work hard and retire. Well, I have another point of view which you may not agree with. I treasure having many different experiences and many different skills, I’m not saying that it is wrong to be pursue your career to be a doctor, lawyer, engineer, scientist, etc, it’s just that I love the thrill of learning many different skills.
As of 2022, I am doing 4 freelance jobs, I am a boat captain for BearBoat Charters, School Enrichment Facilitator for government school programmes, run a digital services company with my good friend and lastly, a food delivery rider. Funny thing is what I am doing have nothing to do with my field of study. I graduated with a Diploma in Energy Systems and Management from Singapore Polytechnic learning electronics, power engineering, sustainability and clean energy as the core subjects of the course. Right after I graduated, I have to serve mandatory National Service (2020-2022) then I literally didn’t continue further studies or working in that industry as I strongly believe in always learning new skills no matter what qualification or industry you are in. Hence, I do believe there are plenty of skills out there waiting to be learnt however I do agree having a specialization is as important, mentioned by Warren Buffet “Never Depend on Single Income”. To me, it is completely normal to work for somebody, just don’t forget to work for yourself.
Simply said I’m all over the place, I prioritize having different experiences and skills, I am a big nerd on finance and I like animals and motorbikes.
I write in this website as it is extremely therapeutic to document my journey and sharing knowledge from my experiences may benefit someone else behind the screen so yeah writing can be boring and it can also be fun haha
Updating in 2024: I am working as a lift technician, finally getting serious with beatboxing you can find my content here hopefully getting a title soon hehe, and growing my startup media company, Sphynix Studios offering services such as product photography for e-commerce, event videography, photo editing, inforgraphics, animation, VR & AR productions, Drone videography and many more.
More content coming on this website! Thanks For Staying Tuned!
