Who have I Met to fulfill my Ikigai and Purpose?

What Is Your Ikigai? purpoSE?

Ikigai is a beautiful Japanese word.

It means “reason for being”—the thing that gets you out of bed with light in your heart.

It’s not just what you do for a living…

It’s what makes your life worth living.

In SuperME Unleashed, we call that Purpose.

Because when you live with Purpose—anchored in Love and lifted by Gratitude—you no longer just function.

You feel alive.

For me, my Purpose is simple but sacred:

To help people harness their potential.

I live this out through coaching, teaching, and creating spaces where people come home to who they truly are.

But my journey changed profoundly when I met someone whose presence embodies this Purpose every single day.

She doesn’t just teach transformation.

She lives it.

Not through performance or perfection—but through authenticity, service, and silent strength.

Her life’s experiences, her journey of healing and empowerment, are now beautifully shared in her book,

“SuperME Unleashed”—a work I’m deeply honored to have contributed to.

With her encouragement and blessing, I’ve designed two courses based on her teachings. These are not just courses. They are soul experiences that bring Purpose, Love, and Gratitude to life:

If you’ve ever asked:

“Is there more to life than what I’m doing?”

The answer is YES. And it begins with Purpose.

So today, I ask you gently…

What is your Ikigai? What is your SuperME?

To the one who inspires this path with grace and courage—

Thank you, Dr. Vivian Passion Koh

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...
