Beyond Words: What SuperME Teaches Us About Trust

It is often said that we don’t believe people based on what they say, we believe them based on how they behave.

So when someone says,
“I never lie,”
or
“I cannot tolerate exaggeration or dishonesty,”
does it automatically mean this person will never lie?

Of course not.
Words are easy.
Behavior is the truth.

In fact, people who insist very strongly that they “never lie”
are often sincere in small matters,
but when it comes to bigger issues, they may hide, avoid, or distort the truth.

Not because they are bad.
But because they are human.
Fear, shame, insecurity, these are powerful forces.
And they make even honest people silent when it matters most.

That’s why, as a SuperME, we must understand this simple wisdom:

👉 Judge not by declarations, but by patterns.
👉 Look not at what they claim, but at how they act when stakes are high.
👉 Don’t expect perfection, expect humanity.

SuperME is not about pointing fingers.
It is about awareness, discernment, and protection of our own energy.

When you live as your SuperME,

grounded in Purpose, Love, and Gratitude,
you stop being fooled by words.
You start listening to actions.

And slowly, you learn to surround yourself with people
whose behavior aligns with their values,
not just people who talk about values.

This is wisdom.
This is maturity.
This is SuperME.

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...
