Exclusive Dedication : Community Celebration for Kampong Spirit Day

Community events offer numerous benefits that strengthen social cohesion, enhance well-being, and providing entertainment & recreation for residents.

Whether it's a neighborhood block party, festive celebrations, or family carnivals...These events bring people together from diverse backgrounds, creating opportunities for interactions that strengthen the existing bonds and embrace the kampong spirit in the community.

Let's Celebrate Kampong Spirit Day! 🥳🎉

As grassroots leaders, we mingle around the neighborhood, building strong community bonding and harmony. We encourage residents/families to come together to participate in activities, creating shared memories that will be cherished for years to come.

Our Music Journey...

Many of you know that I teach Ukulele in the community for years. Our music group, 'Ukermanics' was officially formed in 2019. 

Music has always been a passion for me since my school days. In the past, I have performed many times on stage as a singer, playing guitar/ukulele but this time, I decided to bring out the acoustic drums to add into our music performance at the recent community event...

   

A Dream Come True! :)

I enjoy playing with different instruments, but it's always been my dream to perform as a drummer. I love drums, it's a powerful and dynamic instrument. It creates a lively and impactful atmosphere that connect deeply with rhythm, emotion, and the heart of the music.

     


It's Show Time!🥁 

Music is a universal language that connects people. Music is fun and enjoyable for all ages. It doesn't matter what age you are, if you are interested to learn a new instrument, go for it and explore your potential! 😎

I would like to applaud my members for their performance as it takes a lot of courage and confidence to perform in public. I'm so proud of their hard work, efforts, good progression and we did our best to present a good show for everyone. 

We played a total of 5 songs and received positive feedback from the audience. My heart is full when I saw happy faces and warm cheers in the crowd. I'm glad the residents enjoyed the performance and it was a great honor to share my passion and contribute to this meaningful event!  

   

Every performance is a special moment for me and to perform for the residents is a privilege I treasure. I am most grateful to receive this certificate and thank you for the recognition!

Many times, we forgot to thank the people who create special memories in different chapters of our lives, so I take this opportunity to shout out to my beloved Ukermanics members and express my heartfelt appreciation :

A Special Message To My Students/Ukermanics Members :

"To my musical family, performing with you all is an absolute joy. Thank you for the laughter, fun times and the beautiful music we created together. I couldn't ask for a better group of people to share the stage with. As a music mentor and the group leader, it's been a pleasure to teach and guide you through the musical journey. 

I truly appreciate your dedication, commitments and the unwavering support over the years. Welldone Ukermanics, for making everything possible!"

Last but not least, cheers to many more fun celebrations and happy times! Let's rock on and keep the music alive! ❤️‍🔥🎶

Lessons I Learned From My Mom🌹

Mother's Day is a beautiful occasion to celebrate motherhood, maternal bonds and the contributions of mothers in our society. 

My mother has inspired me to be a better and stronger person today. Kind, loving and generous. She is one of the strongest and toughest woman I ever known. A woman full of strength and courage, she never back down and she is always positive about life in every situation. My mom is someone whom I look up to, an amazing woman I truly respect and admire...

In honor of Mother's Day, this is a blog to express my appreciation and gratitude for her hard work, sacrifices and the valuable life lessons my mom has taught me.

Important Life Lessons From Mom :

Family comes first

Always protect your family and love your children unconditionally. Nothing in the world is more important than family.

Learn to cook

My mom is a great cook! She believes, 
"A way to a man's heart is through his stomach...'' (Oh mom...😅) When I was little, she would asked me to help in the kitchen, chopping the onions, garlic, pounding the spices and I would watched her cook everyday. She believes home-cooked meals are the best and much healthier. With the culinary skills today, I enjoy cooking & baking because it's a joy to cook for the family.

Treat everyone the same

Never be arrogant. Whether they are cabbies or the CEOs, everyone deserves respect and to be treated equally.

Be kind and help others

Kindness is a virtue. My mom has a heart of gold. She would help the poor, the needy and the less fortunate. I do volunteer work because I believe in giving back to the society, to offer help and support to our community. The world need more empathy and compassion.

Have more patience

Well, I have to admit this is a tough one...I'm not the most patient person in the world, but I will try my best to work on it! 

Never give up

Like a warrior, my mom is a fighter, she taught me to be brave and strong, to keep trying and never give up hope no matter how hard the situation is! "Where there is life, there is hope..."

Keep some money aside

Save for a rainy day. Ah yes...a wise advice! Always keep some extra cash or a reserved fund, you never know when you need it!

Keep learning and exploring

As a child, my mom would encourage me to follow my passion, interests and to keep learning as much as possible. She never stop me from playing music or joining the singing contests, etc... Even when I didn't do much to make her proud, she never rain on my parade. She is always there to cheer for me and I thank her for believing in me.

Choose your friends wisely

It doesn't matter how big the circle of friends you have, it's the TRUE ones that matters!
Friends can influence your thoughts, actions and behaviors, so be careful who you surround yourself with. Mama is right! 

Live with integrity

My mom live a honest and humble life. She taught me the values of being true and upright, to speak with honesty and act with integrity. I raise my head high, each and every day...

Be thankful

Despite all the storms and difficult times, my mom doesn't complain. She is always grateful about life and counting the blessings...

Life doesn't come with a manual, it comes with a mother. I thank my mom for being there to support and guide me over the years... 

Sometimes, we may not share the same views, beliefs or have different ways of expressing ourselves, but in the end... All mothers have the best interests at heart for the children and the family.

...The combination of the purest love, kindness and patience can never be replaced...🌹
