Celebrating My Birthday with a Purpose 🎂❤️ How would you spend USD 200 on your birthday? A nice meal at a fancy restaurant (probably just enough for a starter and a main in SG/HK)? A fun night out at a bar, drinking to your heart's content? This year, I chose to do something quite meaningful that I will remember for a long time. For my birthday, I am in Vietnam celebrating with my wife and kids. Knowing that I don't really want anything for myself, my wife Nina decided to buy 100 boxes of chicken rice. Together, we rode around the city on our motorcycle, distributing the food to homeless people, security guards and street sweepers. Despite the rain, we had an incredible time. The joy on the faces of those we handed the chicken rice to, even though it cost very little, was truly heartwarming. It was a memorable night and a wonderful way to celebrate my birthday. I’m not sharing this post to paint myself as a saint. I still enjoy a fancy dinner or a fun night out from time to time (in fact all the time 😅). But this experience made me reflect on the immense joy I received by bringing joy to others. It was a simple act that created lasting memories and reminded me of the beauty of kindness.
