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?

A glimpse into a 2-day Market Access Workshop for pharma leaders.

Facilitation, mindset change and provoking the thought process are indeed my strength areas.. however this subject matter is new for me, and I learnt a lot from the experts there.

“I really hope I can be a great Trainer like you… you truly inspire me!”

Those are the exact words I’ve said to other remarkable Trainers… after watching the way they impart knowledge, shift mindsets, and bring out the best in their participants.

I’ve got about 24 years of experience in sales and training, yet I still learn with curiosity, invest in courses to upskill myself, and stay humble… always grateful to my coaches and mentors along the way.

And that same mindset is exactly what I witnessed in these 10 participants. They already carry a wealth of experience in training and people development, yet they showed up with such openness and a deep commitment to continuous improvement. It was a real privilege to add value to this awesome group of Trainers from India, China, Australia, Taiwan, Shanghai, Vietnam, Thailand, and Singapore.

Thank you, Chris, for the opportunity to deliver this 5-day Train-the-Trainer series.. together with Lisa, who brings such extensive leadership experience and strength into the room.

And Denver… you’re a remarkable leader. The way you do the small things says everything about how you’re doing the big things for your organisation.

This isn’t me wrapping up 2025.. it’s me welcoming 2026 in full gear; doing meaningful work, adding value, and building beautiful connections.

And these are the traits Chris Cummins has held on to.. and consistently shared with his peers and clients.. from the moment I met him (about 6 years ago).

He’s been unwavering in how he cares for his team, and I’m truly lucky to be one of his protégés. Chris doesn’t believe in scarcity; he leads with an abundance mindset.

This is us in Singapore, learning from Chris for an upcoming Train-the-Trainer. Nope… no death by PowerPoint.. but live simulations, mind maps, and yes, even room set-up and décor!

And he was also the anchor who brought me to meet these beautiful people.. Denver, Lisa, and Eve!

Welcoming 2026 indeed.

I read.

I was astounded, a mild tremor in my heart and eyes.

I smiled. I teared. I laughed. I learnt. I resonated with the content. Of love, life and the episodes of reality, brought by this phenomenal woman, my coach, my mentor Sheila Singam

Sheila, I’ve said this a hundred times.. and I will continue chanting the mantra “Thank you for bringing out the best in me and the thousands of lives that you’ve touched, uplifted..”

I’m honoured to be present at your first book launch.. spell bounded to witness your accolades and the people who love you to win!

Sheila may you continue to spread your kindness and your magic in developing people.. and one fine day, when I write a book.. the credit goes to you ❤️

Sheila’s book can be accessed here, and a portion of the sales goes to charity

Welcoming October.

She calls me Amma. I call her Maa.
Well, she calls me Bro too … and I call her Joe!

I was in tears watching her perform her dance. That feeling - the quiet whisper inside me saying, “I must have done something right in raising this young woman.”

My husband? Like a wedding videographer, determined to capture her every move, framing her… only her.

My father? The elder gentleman turned amateur videographer, blissfully unaware he was blocking people behind, eyes fixed on her… only her.

And me? I wish I could say my daughter and I are inseparable, that she confides in me always. Nahhhh, not true.

I’m her Amma. Which means I embarrass her most of the time… and annoy her the rest of the time.

Yet, I’m also her Amma. The one she quietly looks up to in her own ways. And I, in return, am endlessly proud of her.

October is a special month.
Our birthdays.
Puratassi, Navarathri, Deepavali, Shashti.
A month overflowing with prayers, celebrations, and gratitude.

Maa… you are beautiful inside and out ❤️.
And every day, I’m learning to be a better Amma because of you.

To my Amma up there.. I miss you Amma.
