Welcome. You’re here because something about modern life feels… off.
Not broken. Not tragic.
Just quietly misaligned.
This site exists for people who suspect that:
The default way of living isn’t always the best way
More optimisation doesn’t always mean more happiness
And being willing to look foolish is often the first step to thinking clearly
If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
What Chow Hai Means Here
Chow Hai is a self-aware fool.
Someone who knows they don’t have it all figured out — and is willing to question assumptions about money, health, work, technology, and success.
This isn’t a blog about hustling harder or escaping society.
It’s about living better within reality — with clearer thinking, calmer choices, and fewer self-inflicted traps.
