It is Not No Money No Life

When there is no love, there is no life.

A person may still be breathing, working, earning, and performing.
But without love, that person is only existing, not truly living.

That is why Love Intelligence matters.

Because Love Intelligence is not just about love in a soft or romantic sense.
It is made up of Care, Courage, and Connection.

Without Care, people become cold.
Without Courage, people become fearful.
Without Connection, people become isolated.

So when a person lacks Love Intelligence, they do not just lack love.
They also lack the courage to speak, to act, to stand up, to forgive, to try again, and to live fully.

Why?

Because courage often comes from love.

You fight because you love.
You protect because you care.
You speak because the relationship matters.
You rise again because something in life is still worth living for.

Without love, courage becomes weak.
Without courage, life becomes small.

So yes, this is the deeper truth:

No love, no life.
No Love Intelligence, no real courage.
Because Love Intelligence is the human power of Care, Courage, and Connection working together.

That is what makes a person fully alive.

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...
