Make Extraordinary Happen - Let's Do It!

"I had attended my first Final Sprint through zoom last year and this year the event happens physically. Can totally feel the difference in the energy level between online and face-to-face. Really glad that we are in post pandemic phase and hope to have more physical events in the near future.

In life, there are certain things we can decide if it is our choice or obligation. The decision comes with our mindset and sense of responsibility.

We are exactly 74 days away to end of 2022. Let's do it and end the year with a bang!!"

I Hated Not Being Able To Help My Family...

How would you feel if you see your family suffering from illnesses and not being able to do anything about it?

Jingle, our pet dog have been with us for more than a decade, becoming a part of our family. Seeing her suffering from illnesses and not being able to help much made us feel a lot of pain. Last October, due to old age and sickness, she eventually left us, quietly in her sleep.

Going through the journey with Jingle during her last days, trying my level best to help relief her pains, made me realise the importance of having sufficient emergency funds to prepare for any upcoming storm.

After her passing, I took the opportunity of the current pandemic situation, where everything is slowing down, there will be time for me to upgrade my skillsets. Used to officiate basketball games as my side hustle, but that slowed down as well. Without the additional income, I took the leap to learn financial planning, upgrade my basketball officiating certificate and many other courses to prepare myself for the coming year. Now is the time to showcase what I've learnt so far! Excited to reveal more soon! 😬

I'm Starting A New Chapter This 2022.

Been reflecting about how the pandemic and several life events have affected myself and my family.

Working full time for a reputable company as a Team Lead in HR Admin allowed me to expand my perspective. Yet, despite the opportunities, I felt like I wasn't doing enough in my current position.

Hence I embarked on a new journey that aligns better with the vision I have of my future. Obtaining my RNF license last Sept, I've been working hard to upgrade my knowledge about the situation of my fellow friends with regards to their financial situation.

Been busy taking up courses to upgrade my skillset officiating basketball games as well.

Lots of changes awaits, can't wait to share more!
