“Eh Low, your healthify food tracking app rosak?” Yesterday, when I was having another makan makan session with my team to celebrate Izuani Sobri 雅妮's birthday, one team members asked me this as I seem to be eating a lot yesterday --- 2 scopes of Inside Scoop ice cream... you know the calories :) Oh well, food connects people, and I can’t say no to having a meal with my team! (This is definitely an excuse) As I’ve always shared, I believe in creating space intentionally for conversations and gatherings. Eventhough we see each other and work together everyday, it’s different when we’re connecting over a meal. We get to know each other a little more, find out what we’ve been up to, and understand what motivates us in life. Isn’t it nice to work in a workplace where you get along with each other? Leaders, don’t underestimate the power of a meal! And, happy birthday 🎂Izuani Sobri 雅妮 www.vhrconsultancy.com VHR Consultancy #vhrasia #vhrcreatesvalue #welearnwesharewecreatevalue #fangkailow #vhrplay

“A boss can't make money beyond his knowledge." This is a powerful reminder that you can’t earn more than your experience and knowledge allow. Every day, the most significant thing we create is our choices. As our future gets shorter, making the right choices becomes even more crucial. In my journey, I’ve come to realize that our decisions are only as good as the information and understanding we have. That’s why I invest in continuous learning and staying informed. This includes reading books, reading the news, subscribing to online content, and meeting new people. Just like what I’m doing now with TikTok. I don’t use them just for entertainment but as tools for learning and connection. Our ability to make informed decisions depends on what we know, so let’s commit to continuous learning and growth. Make choices today that your future self will thank you for. www.vhrconsultancy.com VHR Consultancy #vhrasia #vhrcreatesvalue #welearnwesharewecreatevalue #fangkailow

A senior management once told me, “don’t let your team have LinkedIn account, otherwise other headhunter can find them!” Wow, that’s an extreme way of looking at things. Even without having LinkedIn account, your team can still leave! Let’s face the reality - times are changing, and we can’t keep running away from new developments. Just like how guns can be used to kill OR protect, and social media and technology can also do both. As most of you know, I’ve recently started being on TikTok. Is it easy? Absolutely not! But even if it’s hard, we should still do it. We can’t just avoid it because it’s too new or too hard. Even though I’m not great at TikTok yet, I still want to push myself to try it. Times are changing, and if you don’t adapt and change together, you’ll be left behind and replaced.

#LearningEveryDay - My Chopsticks Story 🥢! Back in the day, I tried my hand at chopsticks multiple times since I moved to Malaysia and then to Singapore, but let's just say it didn't go smoothly. So, I stuck to the trusty spoon and fork combo everywhere I went. Fast forward to a business trip to Vietnam – the restaurant there threw me a curveball, no spoons or forks, just chopsticks! 😲 Thankfully, a savvy colleague gave me a crash course - chopstick 101. It was a bit of a noodle balancing act, but I managed to finish my meal without embarrassing myself too much. Ever since that day, I've been a chopstick convert whenever required 🤣 . Adaptability, whether in navigating tech changes or mastering chopsticks, is the key to staying ahead. Lesson learned: embrace the challenge, learn on the go, and conquer those noodles and tech advancements! 🥢💻 #TechAdaptability #ChopstickAdventures #learningeveryday
