How do i say this without being boastful?

I AM REALLY HAPPY WITH WHERE I AM IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW!

I wish i could say this when i was in my teens and 20s. For 30 years of my life, i felt like i was never really ME.

Not sure how many of you are able to relate to this.

Back in those years, I always knew i wasn't meeting my full potential. I always knew i was meant to be happier, more assured and secured! But i wasnt feeling that way. My reason was because the people in my life then was just constantly making me feel lousy about myself. I was waiting for my friends/family/partner/colleagues to inflate my confidence and happiness. I had everything, but there's still this unappeasable emptiness within me.

And that's exactly what the problem was.

I was expecting my 'happy tank' to be filled up by external factors, by other things, other people.

Now that I'm older and (thank god) a little wiser, I've learnt that i get to choose how happy i want to be without external validation. It's always gonna be a work-in-progress, and sometimes 1 step forward and 2 steps back, but as long as I'm headed in that general direction, I'm happy with it!

It's also definitely not magic! It doesnt happen overnight! But it will eventually happen slowly, and then suddenly! Strange concept, this slowly and suddenly thing. But it really is like that!

Ok that was an exaggeration, it was 3000ft above the Paro Valley in Bhutan, roughly 9km round trip hike (some parts steep, some parts ok), and 750 steps down/up) to the majestic monastery perched precariously on the side of a cliff - the Tiger's Nest!

.

For someone who didn't train and had hiked/ trekked maybe ONCE in my life at outward bound school aged 13, I was PRETTY proud of myself and @mint_g !

.

Pictures do NO justice to this magnificent ancient architectural spiritual structure! Did i see the crystallised clarity my naive mind was searching for?... can't say i did. BUT Bhutan gave me so much more:

.

1.Friendship (our tour guides @druk_nim @i_m_bhutanese were there EVERY step of the way, answering every whim, questions that popped into our minds), and they did so with absolute genuine patience (cuz BOY we had a tonne of questions!)

.

2. Gratitude (for a place where people thought the way they did, unperturbed by the many distractions of the current world and the speed at which it's moving

.

3. Negative Carbon emission (I mean common right?!)

.

I could go on but it'll take me 3 days

.

Perhaps, this pandemic is teaching us to look back, to move forward? Be content, connect more with human, not phone. If you have to, with phone or computers - relay the right messages, and use digitisation for the good of man? (Much like how we are being shoved into improving e-commerce, online everything right now).

.

THANK YOU BHUTAN

I wish you well and I hope to see you AGAIN!

I chose Drukasiamy for my hopefully first of many trips to Bhutan

Wow.. I'm speechless at the marketing campaign. Firstly the poster did not state that you need to have a complete family in order to enjoy this promotion.

Secondly, what do you mean by a complete family. Does it mean a complete family needs to have a mom, dad and a child?

Family is defined as a specific group of people that may be made up of partners, children, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents.

If everyone can get to choose, who do not wish for a complete family. Kids who lost one of their parent, kids who witness parents divorced. Do you think that they choose this to happen?

I hope all your company employees including the top management does have a "complete family".

“This is my family. I found it all on my own. It’s little, and broken, but still good. Yeah. Still good.” –Stitch

UPDATE: Still no official statement from MFM. 😞

Please note that we have not spoken to any media and will also not be accepting any media interviews.

What I hope to get out of this is for everyone to be more culturally sensitive and aware, that’s all. Let’s work towards building an inclusive society.

Thank you everyone. We are really all ok and not affected by it. Everyone has their personal life stories & I hope this episode of mine allows you to stand up for a cause you believe in! All I really want to know is what the MFM brand stands for, we've never needed any compensation or apology.

“If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for everything.” 🙌🏼

& for the record, there wasn’t any statement made to Mothership. So the article is written in whatever ways they have interpreted it.

***

UPDATE: ok MFM have reached out to me. All i really want to know is how / why did the promotion mechanics (the terms and conditions) behind this campaign got approved / signed off by the management. Sorry but I am dramatic like that lol. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Again, I have nothing against the crew on ground for their response in such a manner because instructions probably came from the management.

And also to those who say I deserve it because I’m such a cheapskate for wanting the free fish and chips, pls la thats not the point pls use your brains. Got promotion I sure ask. Whether at MFM or not. Because #ilovepromotions lol

***

So this happened today... just sharing a very disappointing experience at The Manhattan FISH MARKET Singapore Changi T1 outlet.

We went to MFM for a meal (as usual we were late lol and MFM did not have a queue and the least crowd) before my mom’s flight for a meal together. There was a promotion with the caption “A Date with Mom, All she needs is a meal with family” and we enquired about it, because why not since there’s a free fish and chips for Mom lol.

But what was really disappointing was their reply, “You’re not entitled to this because your family is not complete.”

“The father is missing.”

Ok.... cue moments of awkward silence because obviously nobody knew how to respond. (pls note i have nothing against the on ground team who gave this response because instructions probably come from management)

I mean, really?! In MFM eyes, just because father isn’t there so our family isn’t complete. How is Mom any less deserving just because Dad wasn’t there? Can’t Mom be Dad as well? How about families who have lost their Mom or Dad to illness, or any other circumstances, make their family any less complete, unworthy, undeserving? How about families with 2 mommies or 2 daddies? Or children who are brought up by grandparents because they lost their parents?

Thank you MFM for reminding me that my family isn’t complete. Not by choice.

Thank you MFM for reminding Sean and Adrian that their family too, isn’t complete. Again, not by choice.

Thank you MFM for reminding Mom that she is at fault for not maintaining her marriage so that the family can be complete. Marriage breaks down and sometimes its better to go seperate ways to make a family complete again.

What a disappointing experience, and one of the top #marketingfails I’ve come across. While the rest of the society is taking steps to make Singapore a more inclusive place, it is disappointing that a brand like MFM still has the mindset that a Complete Family Unit is one that is made up of Father, Mother and Child.

Kudos to MFM for taking a step forward for banning / cutting down the use of straws from their outlets, but 👎🏼 for taking a step backwards from being inclusive.

Our last meal at MFM. Never going back to MFM again. Meh.

Hey!

In this video, I talked about some of the things that I did during my recovery journey. There were many things that I had to re-learn and re-build. The early stages of this journey definitely took a toll on my mental health as well so I would like to remind you that, you need to be patient with yourself and to not be so hard on yourself. Give yourself time to heal and remember that, this journey is a dance of one step back and two steps forward. There will be days where you'll fall, but you just have to not give up and stand back up again. I hope you'll find this video helpful.
