🏎️👓 What does an optometrist have to do with Formula 1?

More than you might think! 👀

Thanks to Shamir, I had the incredible opportunity to experience the Singapore F1 Grand Prix as a VIP guest of the BWT Alpine F1 Team! 🏁

From stepping inside the F1 garage to witnessing the incredible precision and teamwork behind the scenes, it was truly an eye-opening experience!

In Formula 1, every millisecond counts. And just like the technology powering these incredible machines, clear vision and precision optics play an important role in performance.

It was fascinating to discover how Shamir brings its optical expertise into the fast-paced world of motorsport.

And to top it all off, I somehow ended up being interviewed by Spanish TV! 🇪🇸😂

A huge thank you to Shamir for this unforgettable experience and for giving us a whole new perspective on the importance of vision.

Because whether you're on the F1 track or in everyday life, clear vision makes all the difference! 👓❤️

This video is AI-generated, but the story behind it is very personal to me. ❤️
My colleagues sometimes ask why I keep finding ways to provide free glasses to children who can't afford them, whether they're from orphanages, children's homes or families going through difficult times.
The truth is, it has a lot to do with what I personally went through when I was younger.
When I see a child who needs glasses but their circumstances make it difficult to afford them, I see a little bit of my younger self.
That's why I created this story.
Of course, the part where the boy grows up to become a doctor and saves the optometrist is fictional 😅, but the message is something I truly believe in:
You never know how much one act of kindness can change someone's life.
We don't help because we expect that person to repay us one day. We help hoping that when they're in a position to do so, they'll help someone else. ❤️
Perhaps that's why giving free glasses to children has always meant more to me than simply giving away a pair of spectacles.
It's my little way of paying forward the kindness I've experienced in my own journey. ❤️

We all have our reasons to start running. What i like abt Geng Malam Jumaat RC is that they understand that all of us have different level of commitments.
Like our captain Abdul Rasyid said.. " as long as we sweat it out and able to do cringe videos like this, its good enuf..."

Ok I made up the last part, jgn marah capitan... hehe...

Ok in all honesty we all have diff Goals... for me...to be fitter n be a better version of myself, 1 day at a time... being filmy like this comes with the package though...hehe...

Back to the future....

I honestly couldn't stop thinking about this after my flight from Dubai back to Singapore. Long Rant...standby...
A mum was seated in Business Class, while her 3 young kids and their helper were seated at the back of the plane... except they were in the wrong seats.
The problem? The kids didn't even have their own boarding passes because their mum had kept them.
As passengers started boarding, people couldn't sit in their assigned seats. The cabin crew tried to sort things out, but without the boarding passes, it became even more confusing.
Eventually, they found the mum in Business Class. She came over and simply asked other passengers to move so her children could sit together.
What surprised me wasn't the seating arrangement... it was the lack of concern or even a simple apology for the inconvenience caused to everyone else.
Maybe I'm overthinking this, maybe I'm not.
So I'm genuinely curious:
👉 If you're a parent, would you ever leave your young children seated separately while you enjoy Business Class? 👉 If you're cabin crew, how would you have handled this situation? 👉 And if you were one of the affected passengers, what would you have done?
Let's keep the discussion respectful. I'm interested to hear different perspectives because situations like this aren't always black and white.

A Proud Cousin Moment ❤️🇸🇬

Today was a very special day for our family as I had the privilege of attending my cousin Basit's award ceremony, where he received the NS Man of the Year Award.

Basit and I are the same age—I’m only about six months older than him. But because of our height difference, most people assume he's the older one! 😄

This award brought back one of my favourite memories from our army days. Basit enlisted before I did, and he quickly built a reputation in Pasir Laba Camp for being incredibly fit. One day, during my training, he came over to say hello. My sergeant noticed us talking and later asked how I knew him.

When I replied, "He's my cousin," they looked at me in disbelief.

Their response? "No way... you can't be related to Basit!"

Then they asked me for my 2.4 km timing. When I told them I could run it in around 9 minutes, they laughed and said, "Okay... maybe you really are his cousin!" 😂

That's the kind of reputation Basit had. He wasn't just known for his fitness—he was respected by everyone around him.

Alhamdulillah, I later had the honour of serving as a Captain in the Singapore Armed Forces, and our paths crossed again when Basit served in the same unit under my command. Seeing him grow not only as a soldier but also as a leader has been something I'm truly proud of.

Today, as both his cousin and someone who had the privilege of being his OC, watching him receive the NS Man of the Year Award felt incredibly meaningful.

This recognition is so well deserved. Basit has always been someone who leads by example—responsible, humble, kind, dependable, and always willing to put others before himself.

Congratulations, Basit. May this be just one of many milestones in your journey. May Allah continue to bless you with good health, success, and the strength to keep inspiring those around you.

Alhamdulillah. ❤️🇸🇬
