Video @8:00 onwards, only if you don’t have time for the full video. HIGHLY, highly, recommended!!!
This video almost made me want to not be Asian lol. Jokes aside, this was just SO AWESOME. I have a new-found respect and admiration for Kanye West. He’s always been kind of weird, and I still don’t agree with all that he’s said and done, but he undoubtedly has wisdom. And I’m SO glad he’s found God. And man, if I could have half of his confidence... I’d be a changed person, I’d be able to do everything I set out to do.
This video reminded me that perhaps we all just have to get lost for a bit to be found again. It’s okay to be lost right now, it’s okay to be unsure of what’s to come, what the future holds. I know that God has the best plans for me.
Regardless of where you put your faith in, I do think it really is important that you anchor yourself to something. For me, like Kanye, it’s in God, and my faith has anchored my soul and soothes my anxieties over the years. And in such an unpredictable industry, anxieties are plentiful. So perhaps my career currently has turned a bit stagnant since May this year, after the release of our 6th album CURATIONS, and this awkward phase is out of my control, but I’m so sure it’s all an opportunity yet again for me to grow. I know my place, and I know that I’m called upon to serve. I know it’s just a labyrinth that I have to walk through, and my life certainly looks different from others that seem “better off” in their careers, or that things are going “smoother”, but it’s only different, and that’s it. My path is meant to be, because my path is uniquely mine.
I could sulk over what I don’t have, or I could just marvel at all the blessings in my life, and keep mining at the gemstones within my soil, in the patch of land I’ve been granted from above. But heck, sometimes I even sulk over what I DO have, which is ridiculous, I know. But I genuinely did. It’s not really about modesty, even when other people give me the credit of that compliment, but it really wasn’t it. I felt like I was cheating, and no matter how hard I tried to justify myself, I felt like a fraud. I felt undeserving. No matter how hard I worked I never gave myself enough credit for it. Stupid 2nd generation rich kid. I’m just a shy, introverted, awkward late bloomer with a ton of insecurities that somehow ended up with a career under the spotlight, on a stage, in front of cameras, with an instrument and a mic. I still have a long way to go, but I’m much MUCH better now, because I am not listening to my inner troll as much anymore. F that troll in my head. (If I was just more like Kanye West, lol) I realized it was never a matter of what I did; it’s a matter of the mind.
State of mind, truly is such a powerful thing, so much more than we realize. Believing in yourself really is half the battle. It’s not about what you have or don’t have, it’s about owning up to who you are, what you have, and where you came from, and making the most out of it and strive to be the best version of yourself - not for the sake of yourself, but for the sake of honoring that higher anchor - God, or your calling, whatever you want to call it.
Hope this helped you too. I’d love to hear your stories. Whatever my stories inspired in you. And I know I write long blogs, I know a lot of you may not like reading so much English. Thanks for trying anyway. I appreciate it 🙂
Till next time. Choose love, bring light.

Why I deleted the Instagram app on my phone for 2 weeks
Confession: I think I'm not alone in that I have a love-hate relationship with social media, and insta for me is the worst - I lose track on how much time I waste on it. It’s amazing how one app can do so much to give me all sorts of emotions - inspired, educated, entertained, but also, sometimes, skeptical, insecure, and recently, downright depressed.
and so... some time last week, I decided I'm going to check myself out of that daily time-wasting routine. I knew it would be a temporary thing, but I needed to physically delete it for a bit. It wasn't too difficult because I also (very) recently became an aunt, a 舅母!! So right around when that happened, I decided I was going to take a break from Instagram for a while. I just really needed to breathe; and it has been SO nice, and also SO nice to have a beautiful little soul to adore during this time - it made me forget a lot of sad things for a moment, and it was amazing.
I don’t know about you, but for me, a new part of growing up that I am starting to love, is meeting new little members in the family or in friendship circles. Even when they’re not necessarily your own, something about the birth of a human being gives you a new kind of perspective, and a new appreciation for simplicity, and feelings of gratefulness and contentment in life as it is, seeing how beautiful and magical the world is again, from the eyes of a new born baby.
And then it is during moments like these, when you witness a new life coming to this world, that always reminds me of my mother. I wish I could still ask her stories about me as a baby... though she's also told me many 🙂
My mother did not grow up in very fortunate circumstances. Her family was a very humble family, and she was the neglected middle child of three girls. She was always underappreciated, always the one to take the blame, always the one that did things wrong. It didn't come easy for her. But she always told herself that she will love her children equally without biases, and she truly did. She became the most successful one amongst her siblings, and she was a really successful power woman, and my first and biggest inspiration.
But she was also a painter, a singer, a daring driver, and a chef. Where she’s from, she enjoyed a very starchy diet of dumplings, noodles and buns... and perhaps that’s why I have this weird obsession that fans know about, with 饅頭s. I got it from her - it was her favorite as a child, no sauce, just plain steamed. I also used to love the 餃子 dumplings she made, they were the best in the world!
She might not be around anymore, but her spirit lives within me and my family's hearts. And I look back upon our memories now with no sorrow but just joy and gratefulness. A lot of things she's told me, all the lessons, the values, I remember vividly still, and make up a lot of who I am today - Working hard to earn what you cherish and care about, being kind to people, understanding different perspectives, and always remembering the importance of family. From her, I learned how to give love unconditionally, forgiveness, and having a big heart. I may never be as selfless as her, but I guess it's a good thing in a way - I wish she took better care of herself. Perhaps if she placed a little bit more attention on herself... she would still be here. I just got too lucky to have a mother like her, and I wish I was there for her sooner, and learned to cherish her sooner.
I guess now as a new aunt, I have this rush of emotions that I cannot fully explain. The world is crazy right now, social media is crazy, the news is crazy... but I pray for similar things for baby niece that my late mother wished for me. Be happy and healthy, don't be spoiled. Be grateful, be kind, be generous. But, also, be able to receive love as much as give love. LISTEN TO YOUR MOMMY!
I am so grateful for the joy and light my baby niece brought me during these tumultuous times in the city, and I just want to focus on that for a little longer... Life is crazy, but for now, I just wanna choose simplicity, and faith.
Welcome to the world, little one! ❤️
And for everyone else, thank you for reading my long blogs, and reading till here. Please let me know what you'd like to hear my share about 🙂 in the mean time, choose love, and bring light. Till next time!
