There are no shortcuts in WeChat Friends

Many people want to get the most number of WeChat friends in the shortest time possible, for they know that the more friends you have on WeChat, the easier will be for you to do your WeChat marketing.

 But there is simply no shortcut in getting WeChat friends.  Typical shortcuts include:
  1. People Nearby.  Some people think that if you just go to many places and just people add from 'People Nearby' feature at the Discover page, you will get many friends.  The truth is that unless you have a pretty face as your profile photo, the chance of people accepting you is as low as 1%.  To increase your acceptance rate, you need to have an impressive profile photo and a good write-up. You also need to have quality posts on your Moments as people will take a look at your Moments to decide if you are worthy of being their friend
  2. Exchange groupchats with friends and simply add people from there.  The chance of people accepting you is very low because you are a stranger to the groupchats. You need to be seen in the groupchats for people to accept you as a friend
  3. Blindly add people from blindly searching for their mobile numbers. Because people don't know you, the chance of them accepting you as their friend is very low
If there are no shortcuts, then how to have many friends as fast as possible?  Since WeChat is a social media tool, you need to make people like you before they can be your friend.  The way to make people like you so that they will add you as friend includes:
  1. Attractive profile photo
  2. Impressive album photo in your Moments page
  3. Good 'what's up' in your 'Me' page description
  4. Post regularly on Moments, at least 1 to 3 times a day
  5. Have quality posts on Moments
  6. Send caring messages to your friends via Message Broadcast
  7. Contribute to group chats with energy-boosting posts
  8. Be sincere and likable as what you will do in the offline world
  9. Don't be boring, have a life other than your work.  Share your life's moments with your friends
  10. Don't boast or praise yourself
  11. Like other people genuinely and they will in turn like you

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
