25 years ago on 18th October 1986, Angeline and I were married. 25 years later on 18th October 2011, we remembered it and celebrated our Silver Wedding Anniversary over a long stretch of 5 days, not only as a couple but with our 2 lovely children, Kian Joo and Kian Jin. It was certainly very complete because Kian Joo made it possible by taking the trouble to come back all the way from Melbourne!
In these 5 days, we holidayed and spent time together in my old town, Teluk Intan, and then ascended to the cool hills of Camerons Highlands for a lovely and romantic stay at its best hotel there at the Camerons Highlands Resort, culminating in a candlelight family dinner at the rustic Old Smokehouse on the night of the 18th October, for just the 4 of us.
I want to share this privacy of our family life with you all because I wish to reiterate the great importance of a family together. It is really the ultimate goal (and reward) that every one of us should aim for. Remember, it is the family for whatever that happens (in good and in not –so-good times) that we can go back to. With them, we can really share our joys and sorrows. Ultimately, it is the family that gives us the reason for meaningful living. The family is the ‘tipping point’ to life balance.

Especially for a person like me where life has becoming increasingly hectic, the family is the one that gives me the ‘sanity’, the richness and the true meaning of life. I don’t think I can perform at this level as a coach if I didn’t have them behind me.
