It's Not about Flowers, Gifts or Food

Meaning of Mother’s Day — and How Love Intelligence Makes It Real

Mother’s Day is not really about flowers, gifts, or restaurant bookings.

At its deepest level, Mother’s Day is about recognizing one of the most powerful human forces:

care.

A mother stays awake when others sleep.
Worries when others don’t notice.
Gives even when exhausted.

That is why motherhood is one of the clearest expressions of Love Intelligence.

But Mother’s Day also reminds us of something important:

Care alone is not enough.

Many mothers care deeply,
yet still feel misunderstood, unappreciated, stressed, or emotionally drained.

Why?

Because effective love requires more than emotion.

It requires LQ — Love Intelligence.

LQ is built on three things:

Care

Not just sacrificing endlessly,
but understanding what truly helps another person grow.

Courage

The courage to set boundaries, say difficult truths, and not lose yourself while caring for others.

Connection

The ability to build trust, emotional safety, and genuine presence — not just physical responsibility.

Without LQ:

Care can become control
Sacrifice can become resentment
Giving can become emotional exhaustion

But with LQ:

Care becomes wisdom
Courage creates balance
Connection creates trust and closeness

That is why the best mothers are not necessarily the ones who give the most.

They are the ones who:

make people feel safe
help others become stronger
and create love without losing themselves

And in many ways, this applies not just to mothers.

It applies to leaders.
Teachers.
Partners.
Friends.

Because in the end,

the people who truly change lives
are not always the smartest people.

They are the people who combine:
Care, Courage, and Connection.

That is Love Intelligence in action.

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...
