The Lunar New Year is always a meaningful reminder to slow down, to look back on the journey and appreciate the people who make it worthwhile.

Grateful for the lessons, the growth, and the privilege of walking alongside so many wonderful clients, friends, and colleagues over the past year.

As we step into the Year of the Horse 🐎, may we move forward with renewed energy, courage, and purpose.

✨ Here’s to good health, meaningful moments, and continued progress in the year ahead.

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful and prosperous Lunar New Year!

Earlier this month, I had the privilege of being one of the panel speakers for our company’s Final Sprint event. It was an energising way to wrap up the final quarter of the year!

We spoke about what it means to build a client-centric advisory practice in today’s world.

To me, that means leading with empathy, listening more than we speak, and always remembering that behind every policy, portfolio, or plan, there’s a person, a family, a dream.

It was also inspiring to hear from fellow speakers, Lee Song Yong, Eileen Chew, to learn from their journeys, and be reminded once again that in our industry, we never walk alone.

🏃‍♂️ Whether you're in your first lap or tenth year, every sprint matters.
It’s not just about the pace, but the people we impact along the way.

Grateful for the chance to contribute and reflect.
Even more grateful for a team that’s constantly pushing boundaries, together.

Let’s keep sprinting towards becoming a better version, not just for ourselves, but for the lives we’re trusted to shape. 🙌

For most of my life, I’ve been focused on what’s next.
In fitness, in work, in life, I was always chasing progress.

But somewhere along the way, 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱,
🏃 We rush to get “there”
📈 We celebrate the outcome
📆 We focus on the milestones

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁,
✨ The process matters too.
✨ The efforts count.
✨ The person we’re becoming, that’s the real win.

You don’t need to arrive at your destination to be proud of your progress.
You don’t have to have it all figured out to take a moment and smile.

Take a breath.
Appreciate how far you’ve come.

10 Jan 2025. We finally came together and had our first meal as a team of 4. I believe everything happens for a reason and I'm glad we are able to be a part of each other's journey.

We all have different strengths, each of us offering something unique, and I'm really excited to embark on this exciting adventure together.

One is passionate about investing, to create all weather portfolios that are resilient to withstand the ups and downs of the market. Another emphasizes on doing the right thing, making sure we always build trust with our clients with deep underlying strong values. The other has a large network and loves learning with a healthy positive open-minded approach.

Even though our backgrounds differ, our shared vision is what bring us together, to grow, to empower each other to be a better version of ourselves each day. I decided on Kairos as our group name as we were only able to come together as we met at the right time, in the right season of our lives, which is synonymous with Affinity.

As we begin 2025, our commitment is to strive and give it our very best this year and achieve breakthroughs we never believed we could.

Hope this inspires you, and if you're reading this and resonate with what I've shared, drop me a message and I'd like to connect with you:)

Cheers to a super awesome, amazing 2025 ahead! 😊

I’ve reached a new milestone: Attempting the back lever!

This goal was more than just a cool move for me – it was a test to see how far my body could go.

Achieving it required dedication and perseverance, and even though it felt incredible to finally pull it off, getting there was no walk in the park. The process was a constant battle between my muscles and my mind. Overcoming these obstacles required both physical resilience and mental tenacity, pushing me to redefine my limits and expand what I believed was possible🔥

The secret? Non-stop practice, accompanied by sheer determination. Moves like skin-the-cat and muscle-ups became essential companions, helping me build foundational strength and technique.

The best part? Strengthening my core eliminated my lower back pain, making daily activities easier and boosting my confidence. A huge thank you to my trainer who supported me throughout this journey!

Remember, relentless practice and a supportive community can lead to incredible transformations. If you’re passionate about calisthenics and have big dreams, drop me a DM! I’d love to connect with you😊

Watched a documentary series recently on Netflix!

Took away some interesting pointers to find out the secrets of the Blue Zone people living long & healthy lives!
(Fun fact: There is an estimated 722,000 centenarians in the world currently!)

Do they actually ‘Retire’?😅

So much to learn from them, so pardon the long post of my takeaways:)

1. Plant-based diet:
Blue Zone populations typically consume a plant-based diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts. The Okinawans in Japan have a diet high in sweet potatoes, tofu, and vegetables.

2. Physical activity:
They incorporate movement into their daily lives through simple activities like gardening, walking, and traditional activities.

The Ikarians in Greece, maintain active lifestyles by tending to their gardens, walking to visit neighbors, and participating in traditional Greek dances.

These purposeful physical activities that bring them a lot of joy and fulfillment😊

3. Strong Social Connections:
Social support and strong community ties are of utmost importance in Blue Zones! The centenarians in Nicoya, Costa Rica, gather for regular social events called "fiestas patronales," where they celebrate their community ties and traditions.

These close-knit communities provide strong emotional support and a sense of belonging amongst one another.

4. Sense of Purpose:
The Okinawans in Japan practice "ikigai," which translates to "reason for being" and involves pursuing activities that bring joy and fulfillment, such as gardening, teaching, or practicing traditional arts.

Having a sense of purpose and meaning in life is very crucial for longevity😊

5. Stress management:
Blue Zone inhabitants incorporate stress-relieving practices into their daily routines to promote overall well-being. The people of Sardinia, Italy, practice "sardinian meditation," where they take time to relax with family or friends over a leisurely meal, fostering a sense of connection and relaxation.

In conclusion,
At the end of the day, whether or not we live till 100, let us make the best of the time we have on this planet, earth! 🌎😊

10 Aug 2023.

It was one of the nights that I’d remember for the rest of my life.

I was overwhelmed with emotions and I’m glad to have been recognized as the top 6% of advisors during my company's awards night! 😊🏆

If I had to use one word to sum up how I felt, that word would be GRATITUDE.

I was grateful to all my clients for their trust in allowing me to walk alongside them in their financial journey.

In our industry, it’s not just the awards, or getting fame and recognition, but rather, the affirmation and testament that our hard work in giving good financial advice does pay off:) 💪💪

I’m also immensely thankful to have a great bunch of colleagues, and mentors who have guided and played a huge part in making all of these possible.

Last but not least, to my father in Heaven who has blessed me abundantly with opportunities throughout my career!

Let’s be good stewards of our finances and enjoy the fruits of our labour in the years to come! 😊👍💪

We should not pretend to have confidence or knowledge in a particular area until we actually gain it.

It is simply false confidence.

Instead, we should stick to a more honest and realistic approach of "face it till you make it."

This means acknowledging the challenges and obstacles that come with pursuing a goal, and persistently working hard to overcome them.

Success only comes from facing and overcoming challenges, rather than pretending they don't exist in the first place.

In essence, we should embrace the challenges and failures that come with the struggle as opportunities for growth and learning.
