They Said No

They Said No.

I offered them something precious:

Better health.

A chance to earn with ease.

A pathway to feel more alive and less afraid.

They said “no.”

And for a moment, my heart dipped.

Not because I needed the sale —

But because I saw how much they needed this… and couldn’t see it yet.

Then I remembered —

I am not here to convince.

I am here to serve, as my SuperME.

So I took a breath, and chose:

Purpose

To plant seeds, not push outcomes.

I remind myself:

“I speak because I care. I offer because I believe. I walk away still whole.”

2. Love

Maybe they’re scared. Or tired. Or burned by too many empty promises.

So I love them where they are.

“I honour your no. And I’m still here if you ever want a yes.”

3. Gratitude

Thank you for hearing me.

Thank you for showing me where I need to grow.

And thank you for reminding me —

My work is not about the yes.

It’s about staying true to who I am.

💫 The SuperME doesn’t shrink from rejection.

It shines with gentleness, stands with clarity,

and offers again — when the soul is ready to receive.

Because real change never comes from force.

It comes from love that doesn’t give up.

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...
