Poster Boy

It’s be a while since I went out for my food for soul activities. Today had the chance to officiate a community centre at a low cost flat housing area that FWD Takaful sponsored.  The hard work was put in by our partner Giving Hub and our own Azizi. I just came to do the ceremony or as my wife put it in view of the recent development – the poster boy.  At least these days I look like an intellectual one. The handsome part is already not there, but I can really smile, so probably that. A happy Sunday.

Changes

Skipped few days since I last wrote. Trying to keep to the habit of writing regularly and not fall into the old blackout period – let’s see if I’ll be able to do it.

Perspective is so subjective that the fluidity of it is almost constant, depending on both factual and emotional factors or circumstances. Over the weekend, we had a lineup of early of year main agency events. Honestly,...

Oddly excited about it. Lol.

Patience

A picture is worth a thousand words – explicit and implicit, exposed and hidden. Exercise session 8 January 2024 If anyone were to look at the photo above they would have probably thought that we were having the day of our lives.  At that particular brief moment we probably did.  But there’s always more than meets the eyes; by default life is full of surprises – this is especially true when there is a special child in your life. Yesterday was supposed to be a relatively normal and dull day but as usual it turned out to be rather an...

Sunday morning

It’s been a while since I took the stage to address an audience.  I did it today. It felt odd.  Definitely wasn’t my best but still it didn’t feel too bad. I realized that the good thing about this CDO role had allowed to do what I love most – sharing. However, it’s not always easy when there are a lot going internally. It’s a constant battle of appearing for the moment, delivering the right messages while battling yourself against any potential hypocrisy against what you’re saying.  But most times, it’s really speaking to yourself, a self reminder more than...
