1. Can you tell us more about yourself and your background?
I am a Malaysian Chinese mixed with Thai, born in Malaysia, grew up in Brunei and migrated to Australia when I was a teenager. I moved to Hong Kong more than 7 years ago when I felt the calling to explore what this part of the world had to offer when I was offered another job in investment banking. A year after moving to Hong Kong, it became apparent that it was time for me kickstart my career as a coach at Dee Dream Life.
2. What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve done in your life?
Leaving a stable career in banking to pursue something that I had never done before in coaching! I sought out a more personally fulfilling profession that would add value to others’ lives, while maximising my own potential.
3. With your personal experience in recovering from mental health challenges, how do you make yourself happy and ritzy in life?
Always trying to see the light of every situation and laugh a lot. My partner helps me with this too as he is very light hearted and cannot help but crack a joke always in any situation, no matter how grim. I think not taking life and ourselves too seriously is very important to keep oneself happy and ritzy! In the wise words of one of my gurus, “To be enlightened, is to lighten up!”
