The weather was just right for a hearty lunch and a robust conversation at Starhill

We ordered the lunch set menu, which is a three course and masala chai, and I really ate 🤭🍽☕️
All the tangy, creamy loveliness of mango, seafood, thick curries, crunchy portion of biryani, and hot chai to close the celebrations was super homelike.

Attentive staff, beautiful decor, and my lovely company....Birthday month begins

Next round, Banana Leaf, for sure 🍾🥂

How others treat you is a direct reflection of who they are. Period.

If it's offensive, hold your ground.
If it's kind, multiply it twice over. That's how I roll 😎

No matter what happens or who you are, people will always remember how you treated them.
That's all 😐🤓

Now go and live your best life 🙌 ✨️ 👏 👌 ❤️

Seems unreal to me, the woman I was before my spiritual awakening in 2019 and now 2024. I love her even more fiercely 💓 💕 ❤️

A month to go for my brand new rotation around the Sun

Happy birthday to all the Virgos getting ready for their celebrations 🍾 🤪 😘 💕

Happy Independence Day, INDIA ❤️ 🇮🇳

Big celebrations at India House today. Double celebrations for me this year having friends from Goa (visiting Kuala Lumpur) to celebrate with 🥳 🥰

Thank You, India, for sharpening my pen, fuelling my amazing national and international media career, fanning, and flaming my fire ❤️‍🔥

The thing with my Goddess, She will give her best self in Love, Life and Work (Durga).
My Beast takes care of her Goddess when she is in pain, betrayal, injustice and suffering (Kali).

Together we are Light and Darkness in balance. The best version of both when we are treated with love, kindness, compassion and reciprocity. Fiercely Loyal, Ride or Die energy. Both live life intensely, passionately, authentically, with childlike curiosity and the faith, belief and wisdom of a seeker.

Some people get the Goddess. Some people get Burnt. How you treat me is the version of me you get in return. And they are both life-altering experiences :) :)

Know your Value and your Worth

I DO NOT CARE TO BE ‘NICE’ – I PREFER TO BE ‘KIND.'

This is a BIG THANK YOU to those far and near and the unexpected for being KIND to me, in actions big or small, in situations happy or painful, in circumstances comfortable or confusing. THANK YOU

Champagne and some cool shades at Kering's tea and bubbly hosted evening soiree at Pavilion KL.

Kering Eyewear is part of the Kering Group global luxury brand, which includes Lindberg - a luxury Danish eyewear company recognised for its outstanding lens technology. Some shades felt straight out of a sci-fi narration for tech aided upgrades, but I'm old school, vintage always feels right for me ❤️🥰

Thank you, TEG Media, for inviting me
Was happy to meet the President of the International Women’s Association, Kuala Lumpur .kl too.

Note to Gen Z, Gen Y, Gen Alpha -- We Gen X are NOT in competition with you 🤣 🤣 Not sorry if you're insecure about us.
We are a league of our own with PhDds, masters and doctrates in academics, life, and experiences.

Long before you could 'cut' a reel on social media, we were climbing corporate ladders, burning bras, paving the way for feminism in our stilettos, raising children on our hips, and rocking concerts with the big daddies.

We believe 'If you want something done right, do it yourself.' So, take a chill pill 💊 lassies, in case you burst your tight spaghetti straps.

When I'm bad, im better 😛🥳😺

A Day in the Life of a Lifestyle Media Founder, Media Boss Lady-Entrepreneur, Global Soul :)
“Women in particular need to keep an eye on their physical and mental health, because if we’re scurrying to and from appointments and errands, we don’t have a lot of time to take care of ourselves. We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own to-do list.”

―Michelle Obama, lawyer, author, and former First Lady of the United States.

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do." - Steve Jobs.

When I made MEDIA my vocation and life-long passion in 1990, I knew the Universe was going to make great things happen for me that is purely my own journey and celebration of the gifts given to me wherever I am planted.

A big part of this journey is working closely with international celebrities, stars, artistes, media partners, friends, associates across the globe. Thank you for making June very special

I wouldn't have asked for a vibrant soiree of book enthusiasts as seen at the `Being Human' Book Talk organised by Arcc Spaces in collaboration with Penguin.

I had the coolest time meeting new friends and as a moderator taking the Author Chin Huat Ong through an inside view of his writing process, tapping into the `shadow' for some cool writing inspiration, and which character in his book he would really like to `tell off.' 🙂 🙂

The curry puffs and nasi lemak was delicious and the eagle eye's view from the 30th floor was endless blue sunny skies.

There's definitely more close-knit soirees coming up, so stay posted and go get Harmony Heights from your local book store 🙂
Thank you Arcc Spaces, Penguin, and dearest Chin for your gracious hospitality and the delicious bottle of wine ❤

The energy of secure, accomplished women who take no BS is my secret sauce to personal and professional happiness. So, what's `cake in a bottle' doing at our media honchos meeting? Well, everything media honchos do whilst at a media meeting - work, eat, play 😋

The creamy, yummy cake in flavours of Oreo, Strawberry, Tiramisu and Lotus Biscoff by Ikigai Ukiyo ._ sealed most of the editorial discussions to a happy ending.

We're ready for The WOW Show LIVE on August 9th and 10th (Stage 1 Theatre, PJPAC, 1 Utama E) with firecrackers Joanne Kam, Shazmin and Ning Baizura. I'm so excited to be managing them on this show tour and create the conversations around women, for women, by women, of women and community that must be spoken for.

Thank you for the warm welcome, team Big Boom Media 💥 😀 🙌 Let's kick big butts, all butts ⭐😍🥳🤩!!

My Papa was so proud of me, and my Mama is.
As I am proud of mine.

I live by my own example. With my own voice, my career, my passions, my own home, my own company, my own life... my own woman.

But I'm also a die-hard romantic and believer of honest, loyal, strong partnerships built on love, respect, and transparency.

Are you living your voice?
