What You Know About Love is Destroying You

Love isn’t what you think it is.

Explain it carefully, because this misunderstanding is destroying relationships.

Most people say love is about finding the right person.
That’s not love. That’s dependence.

A relationship is not love.
A relationship is a structure — a role, an agreement, a container.

Love is a state inside you.

Think about it.
Why can a sunset move you?
Why can a dog soften your heart?
Why can music make you cry?

You didn’t negotiate.
You didn’t receive anything back.

Because love is not something you do.
It’s something you become.

When your inner state is loving,
everything you touch feels lighter, warmer, more meaningful.

The dangerous lie we were taught is this:
that love only exists because of another person.

That belief creates fear, attachment, and control.

Here’s the truth from Love Intelligence:
If your heart is already loving,
when someone enters your life, you share love.

And if no one is there,
you can sit quietly — and still feel whole.

That is freedom.
That is emotional maturity.
That is Love Intelligence.

Stop searching for love outside.
Become love — and watch your entire world respond.

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...
