The Best Comedy Is Life Itself

Nowadays, there are not many comedies worth watching.

Yet people still long for a good laugh.

The other day, I found myself laughing uncontrollably as a friend shared how they created their videos. There was no script. No professional comedian. No carefully crafted punchline.

Just a simple story told honestly.

And somehow, it was hilarious.

It reminded me that the best comedy is not found on a stage.

It is found in everyday life.

The funniest moments are often the most genuine moments.

A misunderstanding.

A spontaneous remark.

A child's innocent comment.

A friend's unexpected reaction.

Those moments are candid, authentic, and real.

Years later, we may forget the movie we watched.

But we still remember that moment when everyone laughed until tears came out.

Why?

Because laughter is connection.

And connection is one of the highest forms of Love Intelligence.

When we are fully present, we notice the beauty, humour, and humanity around us.

Life becomes lighter.

Relationships become closer.

Ordinary moments become memorable moments.

So don't wait for the next comedy show.

Create your own laughing moments.

Share stories.

Laugh at your mistakes.

Celebrate life's imperfections.

Act in the best comedy of all: your own life.

And as you do, let Love Intelligence guide you.

Because a life filled with Care, Courage, and Connection is not only more meaningful.

It is also a lot more fun.

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...
