I try to pour a bit of myself into everyone around me.

As a father, a husband, a son, a friend, a doctor. As someone trying to create something meaningful in this lifetime.

All of it requires presence. And I give what I can, as best as I can.

But sometimes you get so caught up watering others, you forget to water yourself.

And that's when it creeps in. The lethargy. The heaviness. That spark that usually drives you - it quietly dims...

It's what happens when you keep pouring without ever refilling.

So this is a reminder. For me, and for anyone else out there who keeps showing up for everyone else.

You cannot give what you no longer have.

Water yourself not as an afterthought.

Not when there's finally time - but as a priority.

The people who need you - need you. Not a dried up version of you.

Refill.

I joke that I communicate with my dad using an ouija board.

It's one of those dark humor things doctors have. It's how we cope and keep ourselves sane sometimes. We see and experience things that aren't normal.

But this board has been our only way to communicate now. Every letter he points to is a full sentence worth of effort. Every word costs him something - he trembles to point each one, but he tries anyway.

And he still uses it to ask about us.
"Aby, dah makan?"

I've been thinking lately about how I can't remember what his voice sounds like anymore. Not exactly. He's still here, right in front of me - and I'm already forgetting.

We take words for granted. The ones we say without thinking or the quick phone calls. Even the stories we've heard a hundred times and quietly dreaded hearing again.

I'd sit through every single one of those stories right now.

I didn't know that the last real conversation we had would be the last one. Nobody ever does.

Tell the people you love something today. Don't wait until love has to be spelled out, one letter at a time.

I've never really been from just one place.

Leeds first. Yorkshire countryside, public school, a childhood that felt enormous. Then dad finished his PhD and we came back. Lembah Keramat. Sekolah kebangsaan right across the road from the house. I remember asking my teacher permission to go home to use the toilet because the school one was... yeah.

I was finally home. Until I wasn't.
Washington DC next. Maryland. American middle school. A kid who had just started to feel settled, starting all over again. It was hard. But kids adapt. And I did.

When we came back to Malaysia for good, I ended up in this small international school near Sri Rampai. It was something else. Kids from everywhere, mixed in with local kids, borrowing each other's languages, each other's food, each other's everything. Some of those international kids were more Malaysian than Malaysians I know.

I think that's where I quietly learned something - home isn't where you're from. It's who you end up with.

Tonight one of those friends came back to town. We sat, caught up, talked about everyone else. Where they are now. Turkey. Nigeria. Korea. Canada. Australia. A whole group of people, scattered everywhere.

I think about why expats and travellers find their way to Remedine. I think it's this. I know what it feels like to be between places. Between versions of yourself. It's not a concept I read about. It's just my life.

Grateful for every move. Every adjustment. Every place that left something in me.

And grateful that now - I'm just home!

I've been on the patient's side of the table too.
I know how it feels like.

Sometimes for myself.
Other times, as support for someone I love.

We all carry something.
Most of us carry it quietly.

The hidden guilt, the unspoken shame.
The battles nobody sees.

As a doctor, it's this awareness that keeps me humble.
We should never be quick to judge.

Because medicine is more than prescriptions.
It's recognising that every person in front of you
is trying to transcend their own pain.

Beneath every role we carry, we are still just human.
Each of us with a human heart.

When we realise this is what connects us,
only then can healing truly start..

Always do what you love.

It's one of those inspirational things you always hear.

But honestly, how many of you are actually doing something you really want?

It's always much easier to say than to embody.

It becomes an ideal instead of a priority.

At the end of the day, the reality is still how you're going to pay bills and feed your family.

Some people are lucky.

They naturally find their own rhythm and pace.

They discover their ikigai early.

For others, it might take years of searching.

Not just for opportunities - but just to find themselves.

Everyone's on a different journey, each with their own challenges and blessings.

But I do believe acting out of love is always a choice.

It's a decision we actively take each day.

Even the smallest act of love can build momentum along the way.

Maybe the question isn't 'are you doing what you love?' - but 'are you loving what you do?'

What does it mean to be a Change Energy Giver?

Everyone transfers and receives energy.
Everyone connects this way.

It sounds woo-woo, right?

But the reality is that each interaction we have with others has the potential to improve or ruin their day.

Sometimes, it only takes a simple response to shift the entire energy of the room.

Those who are aware do it knowingly, while others who might not be are swayed by it unintentionally.

Greater self awareness begets greater responsibility.

Because it presents us with a conscious choice, like when to be present and how we show up.

Our words and behaviour ripple further than we realise, affecting everyone around us.

When we show up with intention, we leave others better than we found them.

We must remind ourselves that what we give, we get back.

As humans, we've been gifted with these choices.

Everyone has something beyond their control.

But our energy, our presence, our words - they are ours to give.

That's what it means to be a Change Energy Giver (CEG).

We're called the sandwich generation. 🥪

It's usually somewhere between our mid-30s to 50s.

It's that season where life converges all at once - small children who need raising, partners who need presence, aging parents who now need care.

It's not just about being busy, but more about being needed - you're pulled in different directions at the same time.

The challenge isn't managing your calendar.

It's holding space for everyone, while somehow holding yourself together too.

People navigate it differently.

Some find their footing, while others struggle.

Because there are layers here that schedules can't fix.

The visible ones are obvious - work, relationships, childcare, responsibilities stacking up.

But the invisible ones are what wear you down.

The mental load that never clocks out, the silent emotional weight you carry, the quiet expectations you set for yourself that no one else even knows exist...

And there are sacrifices. Real ones.

Every role takes something from you. And most days, you're giving before you've had a chance to refill.

Most people around you won't see that part.
But that's often the heaviest part to carry.

So maybe the goal isn't to do it all perfectly.

Maybe it's just to stay present through it - without disappearing in the process.

I'm curious, how are you managing this season of life while still pursuing what matters to you most?

It's strange how explosions can mean different things to different people.

For some they're sounds of celebration.
For others, they bring fear, loss, and suffering.

The world is exploding in so many different ways.

Alhamdulillah, I am blessed.
Truly grateful.

Fortunate to experience these times from a place of humility and grace.

This Aidilfitri reminded me to cherish these transient moments with my loved ones -
whether in quiet presence, or in laughter and noise.

I pray that those who are suffering are granted strength.
We are all tested differently.

For those who are still searching, may you find peace in time.

Because in the end, we are never truly ready for the final explosion.

So while we can, we stay present...
and watch the sky.
