Happy Chinese New Year


Chinese New Year celebration is coming to an end, but we still have to move on with our daily life. By the way, I hereby wishing all my friends a very Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year. May you be blessed with abundance of good luck, great wealth and good health. Huat!


This year, apart from writing greeting cards for my sponsors and clients, I also wrote a very meaningful card to one of my supporters as well. Hope that she will do well in her study and be dare to pursue her own dream in near future. 


Before Chinese New Year, I visited Degree Hair Studio again. I really love their services and professional advise for my image, despite the fact that I'm overweight now. Lol. Which mean it is time for me to lose some weight when I go for my reservist this coming week. Thank you Bern, Jas and Degree Hair Studio for everything! If you are still looking for a place to do up a wonderful hair, this is the place to go! For appointments call +65 6732 3320 now! You can also LIKE Degree Hair Studio Facebook by clicking HERE.

Anyway I will be stepping back to recording studio to record a new single, as I know many of you are still waiting for my new song, and do be patience. I believe the new song will be release this June/July 2016.

Life is a competition

What is the meaning of life? This is one of the most frequently asked questions by all of humanity since the beginning of time. It is a question naturally asked by people because they have the ability to make choices about life. The question would appear to be difficult to answer and different for every individual depending on their circumstances. It is the ultimate search for truth and purpose in life; the reason we were born, wake up everyday and exist.

The truth is, life is just playing by different rules. The real rules are there. They actually make sense. But they’re a bit more complicated, and a lot less comfortable, which is why most people never manage to learn them.

Life is a competition


That business you work for? Someone’s trying to kill it. That job you like? Someone would love to replace you with a computer program. That girlfriend / boyfriend / high-paying job that you want? So does somebody else.

We’re all in competition, although we prefer not to realise it. Most achievements are only notable relative to others. You swam more miles, or can dance better, or got more Facebook Likes than the average. Well done. It’s a painful thing to believe, of course, which is why we’re constantly assuring each other the opposite. “Just do your best”, we hear. “You’re only in competition with yourself”. The funny thing about platitudes like that is they’re designed to make you try harder anyway. If competition really didn’t matter, we’d tell struggling children to just give up.

Fortunately, we don’t live in a world where everyone has to kill each other to prosper. The blessing of modern civilisation is there’s abundant opportunities, and enough for us all to get by, even if we don’t compete directly. If you deny that competition exists, you’re just losing. Everything in demand is on a competitive scale. And the best is only available to those who are willing to truly fight for it.

You’re judged by what you do, not what you think


Society judges people by what they can do for others. Can you save children from a burning house, or remove a tumour, or make a room of strangers laugh? You’ve got value right there. That’s not how we judge ourselves though. We judge ourselves by our thoughts.

“I’m a good person”. “I’m ambitious”. “I’m better than this.” These idle impulses may comfort us at night, but they’re not how the world sees us. They’re not even how we see other people. Abilities are not prized by their virtue. Whatever admiration society awards us, comes from the selfish perspectives of others. A hard working janitor is less rewarded by society than a ruthless stockbroker. A cancer researcher is rewarded less than a supermodel. Why? Because those abilities are rarer and impact more people.

Our idea of fairness is self interest


People like to invent moral authority. It’s why we have referees in sports games and judges in courtrooms: we have an innate sense of right and wrong, and we expect the world to comply. Our parents tell us this. Our teachers teach us this. Be a good boy, and have some candy.

But reality is indifferent. You studied hard, but you failed the exam. You worked hard, but you didn’t get promoted. You love her, but she won’t return your calls. The problem isn’t that life is unfair; it’s your broken idea of fairness.

Take a proper look at that person you fancy but didn’t fancy you back. That’s a complete person. A person with years of experience being someone completely different to you. A real person who interacts with hundreds or thousands of other people every year.

Why life isn’t fair

Our idea of fairness isn’t actually obtainable. It’s really just a cloak for wishful thinking. Can you imagine how insane life would be if it actually was ‘fair’ to everyone? No-one could fancy anyone who wasn’t the love of their life, for fear of breaking a heart. Companies would only fail if everyone who worked for them was evil. Relationships would only end when both partners died simultaneously. Raindrops would only fall on bad people.

Most of us get so hung up on how we think the world should work that we can’t see how it does. But facing that reality might just be the key to unlocking your understanding of the world, and with it, all of your potential.

Singapore Scout Association celebrating SG50

More than 2,500 scouts from 18 different countries gathered at the Sarimbun Scout Camp in Lim Chu Kang on last year (18 November 2015) morning to mark Singapore's 50th birthday at a celebration organised by the Singapore Scout Association (SSA). Sorry for posting the photo after one month later. 


I would like to thank Chief Tan for inviting me to be the opening singer for this meaningful event. Hope that everybody like my songs, especially our foreign friends from the other 17 countries.  


During the event, I also met Dr William Wan and Michelle Tay from Singapore Kindness Movement. Thank you for always promoting kindness and volunteerism too!




Sing three of my own composition at Singapore International Jamboree 2015. They have a big stage and happy to see so many scouts waving their flags during my performance, and they even come up to the stage!




Thank you Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean for the photo at International Scout Jamboree!
