𝗔 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲: 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗶 𝗥𝗮𝘆𝗮 𝗔𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗹𝗳𝗶𝘁𝗿𝗶 As the crescent moon rises, marking the end of Ramadan today, the Muslim community welcomes Hari Raya Aidilfitri tomorrow, a day of joy, reflection, and kinship. This significant festival not only signifies the conclusion of a month dedicated to fasting, prayer, and reflection but also serves as a reminder of the values of patience, compassion, and giving. However, as we prepare to celebrate, it's essential to remember that not everyone is afforded peace and serenity. In places like Gaza, the shadows of conflict cast a long pall, affecting innocent lives and disrupting the joyous celebrations of Eid. Such realities remind us of the importance of empathy, understanding, and the urgent need for peace across all corners of the globe. Even in Singapore, we should not take our peace for granted. Whether Chinese, Muslims, Indians or other races, we must not let the past racial riots destabilise our peace and harmony. Amidst the festivities, it's also crucial to address the widespread misconceptions about Islam and its followers. Stereotypes and misinformation have led to undue suspicion and alienation, overshadowing the true teachings of Islam - peace, compassion, and mutual respect. Eid offers a moment for us all, regardless of our backgrounds, to reflect on these misunderstandings and strive towards a world where diversity is not just tolerated but celebrated. As we come together to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri, let us also commit to breaking down the barriers of ignorance and prejudice. Let's take this opportunity to learn about each other's cultures and beliefs, fostering a more inclusive and harmonious world. To all celebrating, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. May your days be filled with joy, peace, and the warmth of community. And to everyone, may we all find the strength to build bridges of understanding and compassion. #NotTheUsualMentor #racialharmony #celebratediversity

You can learn as you earn. This is a follow up to yesterday's post to all fresh graduates about looking for a job. https://lnkd.in/e5TY6-Gi Another important point I want to add on is, even if you have to just find any job in the meantime to pay off the loans or simply to survive, Learn as much as you can while on the job. Many of you know that my first job was a Management trainee in a cinema. I graduated during the Asian Financial Crisis back in 1997, and I wasn't too sure what kind of job I wanted to do. The cinema job was a means to an end to help allowed me to pay off my University loan as well as support the family. That job provided me the opportunity to manage people, run a location with profit and loss responsibility, managing customers, marketing efforts to promote the location and problem solving skills (handling a break down during blockbuster, handling customers abusing my staff etc). In fact, it wasn't even my job with P&G after the cinema experience that got me a job with LVMH! So never underestimate a 'job' is just a 'job'. Always grab the opportunity to learn as you earn! If your company is going to hire fresh graduates, consider a mentoring program as part of the staff development plan to help them settle quickly and well into their new role. If time and resources are a constraint to you, you can reach out to us to manage that for you as we have a pool of mentors from various industries and number of years of experience to ensure a successful journey. *Everyone deserves a mentor* #nottheusualmentor #mentoringprogram #mentoringmatters #careeradvice #employeedevelopment #hr #humanresources #jobsearchtips

It's Saturday so it's personal #storytelling time! It is a compilation of the past 5 weeks I've spent in Singapore and I would like to share a reflection of my journey, growth, and the connections I've made. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 - having attended different networking events, they have allowed me to share what I do. NOT just in the Netherlands, but also here in Singapore. The world is getting "smaller" and such meet ups have allowed me to keep fine-tuning my pitching and listening skills. - Most importantly, it has expanded my possibility now to extend my business beyond just these 2 shores 😍 . 𝙈𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙈𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 - Personal achievement unlocked! Created a closed-door event for 25 amazing women physically here to commemorate IWD. Not forgetting at the same time, lifting other female entrepreneurs by sharing this platform to showcase their work. Because I do believe the life of an entrepreneur can be lonely, but in my world, which is also round shaped, not flat 😎 , what goes around, comes around! - I even won the first prize as a newcomer to She Brilliance event. In my whole life even while working in corporate, I've only won a lucky draw prize ONE time 😅 . I was so surprised when my name was called! 𝙍𝙚𝙛𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 - Power of Community. This trip has filled my heart to the brim as I experienced friends and networks, even past colleagues, coming forward to support me. Some by attending my IWD event, some by sponsoring the food and goodies, some giving me gifts, some lending their help to set up and some even just by helping to forward my posts! 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙕𝙚𝙣 - on top of this whirlwind meet ups, I had the chance to take a moment to experience sahaja yoga meditation. thanks to a fellow masterminder from Vince Tan ✔ Serial Entrepreneur and Business Mentor Tan's network. 𝙁𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙨 - Bring back some of these business insights and ideas back to the Netherlands, create a synergy between these 2 places but also looking beyond these 2 shores. - Continue to learn, grow and develop myself, as well as continue to make new connections/friendships, uplift others and pay it forward.

𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗱𝗮𝘆! 🍀 In case you are still unaware, today is considered a leap day as Feb 29 only happens once every 4 years. So if it's your birthday, you are extra special! 🎉 But do you know the Chinese calendar also has leap year, 闰年 Rùnnián? Even leap months? According to the traditional Chinese calendar, for every 19 years there will be seven leap months. "Leap month" refers to a repetitive month, for eg in 2023, there were two Februarys. I know, confusing right 😅 ? In many cultures, Leap Day has been associated with traditions, folklore, and even legal oddities. For instance, in Ireland, it's said that women propose to men on Leap Day, turning the tables on the traditional roles in a fun twist of fate. 💍 But let's dive a bit deeper, combining this with the wisdom of Chinese metaphysics. In the Chinese calendar, which is lunisolar, leap months are added based on complex cycles, not just an extra day. This ensures the calendar remains in sync with the astronomical seasons. And for those born on February 29th, also known as 'leaplings', Chinese metaphysics suggests that they possess unique qualities, such as resilience and the ability to navigate life's ups and downs with grace. They remind us of the importance of adapting and making the most of every opportunity that comes our way. 🎂🎈 On this special day, I want to help you to #rediscoveryourself to help you leap into success. We have 9 seats left for our International Women's Day event in Singapore. Check out what it is in the poster under Comments as well as the sign up link. It's a day to leap into new beginnings, to harmonize with the natural world, and to appreciate the unique rhythms that guide our lives. Happy Leap Day, everyone! May it bring you joy, insight, and a touch of magic. 🌠🎉 #NotTheUsualMentor #leapoffaith #leapday #metaphysics #womenempoweringwomen #iwd #networkingevent #femaleentrepreneurs

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐃.𝐈.𝐕.𝐄.𝐑.𝐒.𝐈.𝐓.𝐘? Is it just a mix of different cultures, languages, and traditions? Or is it something more, something deeper that connects us all? I've always believed that diversity is the vibrant tapestry of our shared human experience. It's the myriad ways we express ourselves, the stories we tell, and the unique perspectives we bring to the table. As we gear up for International Women's Day, I'm thrilled to share a sneak peek into an event that, to me, epitomizes the essence of diversity. Picture this: a gathering that celebrates the rich tapestry of cultures in Singapore, blending Chinese (TCM) wisdom with the delightful flavors of Malay handmade kuihs, all while conversing in the lingua franca of our island, English. This isn't just an event; it's a manifestation of my commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). But more than that, it's a testament to the power of #womenempoweringwomen. We're bringing together women from all walks of life to #rediscoveryourself, to network, and to empower one another in an environment that celebrates every facet of our diversity. And let me be clear, this isn't about bragging. It's about walking the talk. It's about showing that when we talk about DEI, we're not just paying lip service. We're putting those values into action, creating spaces where every voice is heard, and every story is valued. But it's also about more than just talk; it's about support. By coming together for this event, we're not just empowering ourselves; we're supporting female entrepreneurs, showcasing their talents, and celebrating their contributions to our diverse community. So, why am I sharing this? Because I believe in the power of community. I believe that when we come together, we can create something beautiful, something meaningful, and something that truly reflects the diversity of the human spirit. If you're as excited about this as I am, I invite you to join us. Let's come together to celebrate diversity, to empower one another, and to rediscover the strength that lies in our shared experiences. Let's make this International Women's Day not just a day of recognition, but a day of action, unity, and empowerment. Here's to diversity, to women empowering women, and to the beautiful mosaic that is our world. Can't wait to see you there! P/S: although this is a women-only event, we welcome our male allies to support us by sharing this within your network (thank you Thomas H. Brent Tan Fluodric ANG Ching Hui Michael Aguirre for the share last week). PP/S: just tempting your Monday feed with beautiful and delicious at the same time, the Malay kuihs from Juliana Rahmad, and the self-care workshop from Hui Fang LEE.

𝑶𝒐𝒑𝒔, 𝑰 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒊𝒕 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏! No, wasn't doing a Britney Spears song but rather making use of my time in Singapore to meet new connections in person as well as attend events arranged by others! I started posting #PeopleofLinkedIn that I met since 2022 and make it an attempt that I get to meet the people whom have been supportive of each other in this platform. I always enjoy learning more of what they do, and as they said, no one can deny the power of a physical meet up. I also enjoy the fact that, some of them have turned into great friendships and is someone whom I know I can meet up and catch up with, the next time I am back in Singapore. During a recent sharing with fellow entrepreneurs in Europe, I also mentioned the fact that living abroad doesn't mean we forget our roots. Therefore, despite living in the Netherlands for 8 years now, I always make it an attempt to connect with people back in Singapore. I have a secret to share. I LOVE people, and it doesn't matter if they are not Singaporeans. I love that my friends and network are from all over the world, even when I'm back to my sunny island! But I have to seek understanding from those that I couldn't meet in person if our timing clashes. I will however make it an attempt to reach out again either in my next trip or so. On a separate note, if you are a female based in Singapore and would love to connect and meet other amazing women, do register and join us on 8 March evening for a night to "Rediscover Yourself" to celebrate #internationalwomensday . Form to register in the comment box below. In conjunction, I'm also supporting other female entrepreneurs in their business and therefore we have exciting goodie bags exclusive for our participants 😉 .

Today marks my transformation into Sarah. 今天，我化身为赛拉。 In the Netherlands, turning 50 sparks a unique celebration. Men become 'Abraham' and women 'Sarah,' symbolizing wisdom and age. These titles are inspired by the biblical couple, Abraham and Sarah. Today, I embrace being a 'five-zero expert.' 今天，我拥抱成为五-零高手 🤪 This phrase cleverly plays on the Chinese term 武林高手, akin to a martial arts master. As I turn 50, '5-0' amusingly echoes 武林! I reserve birthday celebrations for significant milestones like 21, 40, and now, 50. My initial birthday festivity was at 14 (first picture). During my youth, I aspired to top my class. I succeeded but soon found myself among the brightest, ranking second to last one year. A tough lesson. Reflecting on the last 49 years, here are some insights: 👧 To not appear 50? Your diet shapes you. Both physical and mental nourishment influence your later years. Choose and live wisely! 👩🎓Surround yourself with excellence. It elevates you. 🗺️ Explore the world. Engaging with locals is enlightening and enjoyable. 🥳 Aim to leave a positive impact. Legacy isn't just for the wealthy; it's about making a meaningful difference. A heartfelt thanks to those who sent birthday wishes, even though LinkedIn's algorithm was off. Your thoughtfulness shines through our virtual connections, proving the endurance of human relationships 🥰! P/S- and I received a great testimonial yesterday from one of my mentees ☺️🙏. #NotTheUsualMentor #mentoringmatters #milestonecelebration #birthday #reflections #travel #legacy
