CAB 22. How do you rate your 2025?

Dear friends,

I would rate my year so far as 9/10. It has been pretty good.

I am happy with some of the progress that I have made. But of course there are things that could have been more better.

My biggest disappointment in the first half of 2025 is my lack of progress with my book writing. Slow yang teramat sangat. Not quite sure why but I still have some mental block about it. I have been to a book writing course already but still not much improvement.

My 2nd disappointment is the slowness of my knee recovery. I injured it almost a year ago. I fell while playing pickleball. I have a small meniscus tear and I have been having physio since then. I’m making good progress but I wish it’s more better already 

My 3rd disappointment is still not being able to take my niece to ice skating. She’s been obsessed with it for quite some time now but I just haven’t been able to match my weekend schedule with hers. Dia asyik tanya bila?

At the same time, I’m very happy with some of my achievements

The biggest one has to be doing my first TEDx talk ever at the TEDx Sunway University event back in May. I couldn’t believe it when I received the invitation. Wow what a day. What an experience. Something that I will never forget.. ever.

Second one was getting 100 people to come to my networking event in April. It was a big target that we set and I worked hard to promote the event. Tak sangka 100 people will pay and come to my event.  

Third one is growing my TikTok account to 5,000 followers. It is a new challenge for me to grow on another channel. TikTok is a different crowd, different algorithm and different style. So it’s been fun learning how to create content differently. 

So that’s how my 2025 has been. 6 months flew by very fast. Some wins, some disappointments. Biasa la tu. 

Looking forward to the second half of 2025

Bring it on!

This is not your usual networking event.

It is not business-focused, it is not industry-specific, it is not full of uptight corporate people.

It is focused on personal network, open to anyone from all industries and it is fun.

It is fun because myself and Ayu Shahirah are the one who are planning the agenda, planning the activities and inviting the speakers.

Thank you for all the feedback that you gave us from the April 2.0 event and we have included them into this event to make it even more better.

We will make it more interactive.

We will provide you with a list of who is attending.

We will make sure there is no hard selling from our speakers.

And we will also have a theme and the theme for July is WELLNESS

And therefore the speakers that we have chosen are experts in different areas of wellness - physical, mental and spiritual

Dato’ Lewre will be talking about his passion ‘The Dance of Qi’ 

Selena Kaw will be talking about her relationship with food

Malar Villi Suppramaniam will be sharing her insights about mental WELLNESS

Alvin Netto will show us how he managed to break two Guinness World Records in kettlebell swings

So come and join us for this not your usual WELLNESS networking event.
