I’m writing this not as a Trainer, and not representing Jamz Academy… but simply as an ordinary Amma asking a favour from YOU, for my son, Yogen. 😊

He has zero corporate experience.
No track record in the training world.
No strong social media presence.
And honestly… he’s still figuring life out.

But what he DOES have… is a BIG dream.

A belief that he can learn, grow, and genuinely add value to people.

Yogen is currently pursuing Mechanical Engineering at Taylor’s University and is also an HRD Corp Accredited & Certified Trainer. Somehow, this young man is out there passionately knocking on doors, humbly looking for opportunities to grow himself and inspire others too.

So today, as his Amma… I’m asking those of you who have supported me for the past 25 years… to extend just a little bit of that support to him.

All I’m asking is:
Give him a room. Give him an audience. That’s all. 😊

He’s happy to conduct a complimentary 1-hour session:
“Managing Gen Z at Work” using his C.L.E.A.R. Communication Framework.

And honestly… who better to talk about Gen Z than an actual Gen Z? 😄

The session is practical, relatable, and focused on helping teams communicate better with Gen Z employees through clearer expectations, listening before labelling, explaining the “why”, appreciating progress, and giving constructive feedback.

If you’re open to giving this young boy a platform, this Amma will truly appreciate it very much. ❤️

Thanking YOU in advance with much love,

Yogen’s Amma

I tripped and fell… landed hard on both knees. Painful. Very painful.

On the road. On uneven brick tarmac.

Wearing this gorgeous attire (in the pic), with the smallest heeled loafers.. technically not even high heels because they’re actually comfy.

It happened right after I delivered a powerful Storytelling for Leaders talk for a new client… and I was feeling such a sense of accomplishment.

Happy. Picked up my daughter from school. Heading to the same kopitiam in my neighbourhood… a place I’ve walked to hundreds of times, on the same route.

Probably I lost balance.
Probably I wasn’t aware of my surroundings.

Probabilities to pacify my reasoning.

The thing about falling… it halts you. It forces you to stop.

I’ve fallen many times before.. not metaphorically, but real slips, tumbles, falls that ended in injury.

First comes the uninvited spasms of pain. Then the excruciating sensations when you wake up. And finally, the recovery journey.

I truly believe whether it’s an extrinsic fall or an intrinsic fall… both teach us the same lesson.

Why are you rushing?
Where are you heading?
Slow down. Pace it.

I’m doing OK. Healing, reflecting… and writing stories, as always.

I turned 1 year old… and I still don’t know what the big deal is about a born day. Shouldn’t we celebrate every single day that we are alive? Weird hoomans.

Nothing too special happened on my born day… there were my uncles and aunties, and so much food on the table… for the hoomans ONLY. You see? Now you believe me?

Well, maybe it was a little special. They sang a weird song with the same words repeated, and apparently I was supposed to blow a small fire. Phew, luckily Amma forgot that fire stick thingy… I can’t imagine fire in the house!

Amma baked food in a few cups, with oats, pumpkin, carrots, potatoes, rice, and of course, chicken… with yogurt on top. Everyone called it a cake. For me, it was food. So… yummy. Usually Amma counts to 30, and only then I can eat. But this time, they sang that song. Let’s just say artistic talent is not in our DNA.

I got gifts too. I mean, nothing too special… I get gifts on other days too.

I don’t really know what “special” means. I treat everyone the same way every day, with love. I look forward to seeing them. I anticipate additional food at all times. They are my world… food included.

Amma also made this very cold, hard food with yogurt and mangoes… that was a bomb. Both Yogen Anneh and Shana Akka said Amma never once made that for them!

I guess now I know what “special” means… it’s doing something different, and both the giver and the receiver feel something different.

Yay, I figured it out.

Happy 1st Born Day to me.

Amma always talks about work.

“Leo.. I’ve got work, Leo.. I got to go..”
“No Leo.. Amma must go to work..”

Hoomans and their communication skill… so confusing. I don’t know if “work” is a thing or something to do. But I know Amma has many prescriptions of work… I mean descriptions.

Sometimes she’s so happy she has work. And do you know, people pay her money to talk? That’s cool. Imagine if people pay me money to bark??? All the food I can buy.

But I’ve also seen Amma sulking in front of that square thingy with the bitten grey apple picture. She says she doesn’t like paper work. Excuse me… I can’t see any paper at all. I love paper work. So crunchy. The sound when I crumple it and eat it… yummy. Then Amma says “Drop it”.. but I’ve already swallowed by then.

Amma also puts work and money together.
“Leo, Amma need to work, then only can get money… then I can buy food for Leo, take care of Leo, buy lots of toys…”

Appa also got work, but it’s outside the house. Amma mostly works inside the house… not that I’m complaining. As long as they bring money.

Shana Akka says she has school work, but no money.
Yogen Anneh got university work, same… no money.
But both always ask money from Appa.

Sometimes Appa says we are “tight” this month, cannot spend on certain things…
He says that every month.
But somehow… we still have parties at home. Many people. A lot of food.

What does “tight” mean?

That’s why I say… hoomans and their words.

Anyway, I’ve got work too…
watching squirrels, cats, kitchen gate, and waiting for food.

I’m hard work.

Love,
Leo

My Amma is going through this phase called men-o-paws.

Well, it’s not a disease… she’s not sick or anything. Yet, she behaves like she’s sick of things and people!

Wait… she said it’s not yet men-o-paws, it’s peri men-o-paws. I’ve never even tried peri-peri chicken. Amma gives me boring food. Anyway, life is not only about food.

So this men-o-paws thingy… I think it’s something to do with men and women?

Speaking about one man, Amma gets annoyed very easily over small small matters with Appa…

Exhibit 1: When he buys a bigger fish to steam that cannot even fit into the wok thingy.
Exhibit 2: When Amma says “Don’t buy chilli etc.”… and Appa buys the exact same thing!

Then I see a very angry Amma.

Not just men… wo-men also make her irritated.
Exhibit 3 : Amma has very nice friends who call her to eat and stay somewhere and eat… and Amma doesn’t like that!

I mean… who wants to avoid any chance to get food???

Exhibit 4 : I don’t understand Amma. She loves her training job so much, but sometimes she says she doesn’t have the drive.
Uhhhh???? I know she can drive her car…

Well, she calls it mood swings.
(Like the swing at the playground???)

But suddenly… on other days… she becomes so lovey-dovey with Appa, her friends, and excel in her work! Total darling.

Amma also uses another word called “cycle” that affects her mood.
(Cycle… like bicycle????)

Hoomans and their words. Seriously.

Anyway, I’m always there for my Amma. Because it’s men-o-paws.
I give my paw to her, and Amma massages it gently. I like Amma.

If you know anyone who’s going through the same as Amma…
give them a paw ❤️❤️❤️🐾

I did ask him to attend the Train-the-Trainer programme sometime back… he wasn’t keen. He said studying Mechanical Engineering is already tough and he needs to focus on his Degree.

So I dropped the idea.

Yogen, my 19-year-old son, is currently exploring his wants, needs, and dislikes… worshipping his car, rebelling like a typical adolescent, rage-baiting me (yes, I learnt a new word from him)… and, not but, growing holistically. Excelling in his studies, deans list 3 years consecutively, sitting as a Student Representative among academicians, being a voice for students, and facilitating new student intakes; speaking in front of 500 students!

One day, he himself asked if he could attend TTT.

And the one name that kept being referred by several of my associates was Dr Anita.

I was invited on the final day of his TTT, to listen to Yogen’s presentation. His topic - F1 Racing; initially fell below my expectations. My immediate assumption was that he was going to talk about cars and cars… how typical.

But he surpassed my expectations.

In his 20-minute presentation, he connected F1 racing to life… every slide resonating with principles of hard work, discipline, and resilience. My heart palpitated listening to his articulation. My eyes welled up as I watched his stage presence. My palms were drawn like a magnet to clap for every word he spoke… yet at the same time clasped together, trying to contain my emotions.

Dr Anita, you are a magician.

Seeing you that day, your presence was phenomenal. Every stance of yours reflected your care and genuine love for your participants. I could feel your sincerity.

Thank you for imparting knowledge to Yogen and bringing out the best in him.

And you didn’t stop there.. you opened doors for him to facilitate in your PWD (People with Disabilities) workshops and introduced him to another inspirational mentor, Thomas Yap, who is equally generous in nurturing and supporting young minds.

“Thank you… you’re the only one who helped me today…” said the lady. She smiled, then walked away with a big luggage in one hand, a young kid in the other, and a toddler on her chest in a baby carrier.

I stood there, feeling good. I replied, “Welcome… I know how it is like travelling with little ones…” Usually I’ll chat a bit, exchange names, genuinely build a small connection. But I didn’t… just in that moment, to be kind to another person.

That scene was at Changi Airport, Singapore. She was waiting at the conveyor belt… and I merely helped her lift her luggage out.

A couple of hours earlier, I saw her at KLIA. I smiled at her first… I always do that to strangers. Nahhh, never got into any unwanted attention or trouble… except my kids get embarrassed to why am I always talking to strangers.. I smiled because I know how it is to travel with little ones. I resonated with her motherly struggles!

So when we landed at Changi… somehow I anticipated helping her, subconsciously searching for her. And that’s all.

She left with the widest smile.

I smiled again to myself, all ready to embark on my 1-week Train-the-Trainer workshop at the Lion City.

Really… as human beings, doing a small kind deed, with zero expectations, gives the utmost satisfaction.

What was your small deed recently?
