 A refreshing personal development philosophy is gaining momentum as Victoria Yang Chui Xiang introduces a life approach that integrates authentic living, emotional intelligence and compassionate communication. This concept, titled *From School to Wisdom, Happiness and Love,” offers individuals a practical pathway to elevate their energy and deepen their sense of purpose and joy.
At the foundation of this framework lies Energy Alignment. When people raise their personal vibration through sincerity, clarity of intention and mindful living, they attract positive relationships and naturally release those that no longer resonate. “Living truthfully allows energy to stay clean and transparent,” said Yang Chui Xiang. “It draws people who share integrity and values, while misaligned connections gently step away, guided not by conflict but by universal resonance.” Communication Rooted in Warmth While honesty remains essential, Yang emphasizes the power of kind communication. Speaking truth is most powerful when it is delivered with empathy, making others feel respected rather than judged. Key guidance: * Maintain sincerity with a gentle and warm tone * Speak from love, not superiority * Stay open, grounded and approachable This ensures spiritual growth strengthens human connection instead of creating distance. Letting Go as a Sign of Strength Yang reframes separation as relationship detoxification. Those who leave one’s life are simply no longer aligned with one’s energy path. The movement upholds three pillars of spiritual growth:
Through these pillars, individuals cultivate resilience, clarity and emotional peace while honoring the principle of non-attachment: welcome arrivals, release departures, stay centered. A Holistic Formula for Inner Radiance Yang describes the approach as a simple yet profound formula: Virtuous Energy + Wisdom + Love = Pure Inner Alignment Love stands as the highest vibration. Wisdom enables clarity. Virtue invites universal blessings. When the three unite, individuals shine brightly with INNER peace, INNER strength and INNER love. “We continue learning throughout life,” Yang Chui Xiang noted. “Every small step brings us closer to a safer, wiser and more loving version of ourselves."

What began as a medical emergency quickly turned into a series of major operations, resulting in a total of one month in hospital. His third surgery, caused by a bacterial infection, required daily hospital visits for six weeks of antibiotic treatment.
Despite the immense physical and emotional challenges, Terence emerged stronger — with a renewed outlook on life and a deeper appreciation for preparedness. “This experience made me realise that accidents and death can happen anytime, regardless of age,” he shared. “It opened my eyes to how important it is to be prepared for life’s uncertainties.” Having no children, Terence decided to take proactive steps to ease any future burden on his loved ones. He made comprehensive pre-planning arrangements with Nirvana Singapore, ensuring that every aspect — from funeral services to niche placement and ancestral tablet — is fully arranged and paid for. “I told my nephew and niece that if anything happens to me, just call Nirvana,” said Terence. “It’s a one-stop service, and they won’t have to worry about any payments or making difficult decisions during a tough time.” Nirvana’s one-stop bereavement service caters to all religions, including Christianity, Catholicism, Buddhism, Taoism, and free-thinkers. Families are guided through every step — from funeral coordination and memorial niches to ancestral tablets — ensuring every arrangement is handled with professionalism, compassion, and respect for individual beliefs. For funeral services, Nirvana only engages female team members to handle the bodies — especially the female ones. This is their final journey, and Nirvana ensures they are treated with respect and dignity as they leave this world. While his medical ordeal could have easily led to despair, Terence chose to focus on gratitude and resilience. “Although so many unfortunate events happened, I’m thankful that I survived,” he reflected. “I’m truly blessed and fortunate compared to many people in the world.” Terence’s story is a powerful reminder that life is fragile yet precious — and that pre-planning provides peace of mind not only for oneself but also for loved ones. Through his experience, he hopes to inspire others to cherish every day and prepare for the future with clarity and care. About Nirvana Singapore Nirvana Singapore is a leading provider of comprehensive bereavement care and memorial services, offering families peace of mind through compassionate guidance and professional pre-planning solutions.

 Lionel Tham, an entrepreneur and aspiring motivational speaker, shares a powerful story of transformation from a troubled youth to a successful business leader. Born into an ordinary family with a sister and brother, Lionel faced significant challenges during his formative years. As a student, he struggled academically and socially, facing bullying and extortion in secondary school. By the age of 16, Lionel dropped out of school, seeking acceptance in the wrong circles. His search for belonging led him to join a secret society and engage in illegal activities, ultimately resulting in his imprisonment at the age of 18. “The time in prison was the lowest point in my life,” Lionel recalls. “I felt lost and hopeless, but I decided to use that time to grow. I started reading extensively and applied myself to my studies, eventually passing several N-Level subjects. That experience taught me that what I once thought was impossible, I could achieve if I tried.”  After his release, Lionel faced further challenges, including business failures and financial struggles. He initially ventured into selling frozen food products online and later worked in sales, often struggling to make ends meet. Despite these hardships, Lionel refused to give up on his life and purpose.
Recognizing a growing demand in the cleaning industry, Lionel founded Chemicaless Cleaning, a company specializing in eco-friendly, chemical-free cleaning solutions designed for individuals with sensitive skin and health concerns. Though the first two months were financially challenging, Lionel persevered, adapting his business strategies and expanding services. Within a year, his business grew into a six-figure enterprise, achieving consistent five-figure monthly revenue. Building on this success, Lionel also established Formaldehyde Removal Specialist Pte Ltd, a company focused on removing toxic gases after renovation, further contributing to healthier living environments for his clients. Through his journey of overcoming adversity, Lionel has discovered a deeper purpose: to inspire and empower others facing challenges. As an aspiring motivational speaker, he shares his experiences to encourage resilience, perseverance, and self-belief. “Every successful person has faced failures and setbacks,” Lionel emphasizes. “The difference is their perseverance. If they can do it, so can anyone willing to keep pushing forward.” Lionel Tham’s story stands as a testament to the power of resilience, personal growth, and the impact of pursuing one’s passion and purpose, no matter the obstacles.

For Melanie, the award is more than an achievement—it is a moment of validation after years of dedication and perseverance. “In my line of work, acknowledgment doesn’t come often, so being honoured feels like quiet validation for years spent persevering through challenges that few ever see,” she shared. A Defining Journey Melanie’s entrepreneurial path was shaped by a pivotal moment when a respected industry leader placed their confidence in her. That trust empowered her to lead boldly, while the unwavering support of her family reminded her that she was never walking alone. Overcoming Challenges Building her brand was not without struggles. Standing firm in a vision that others could not yet see required grit, adaptability, and relentless drive. “Looking back, those quiet battles were the foundation of what I’ve built,” she reflected. Strategies for Growth In a rapidly evolving market, Melanie has consistently prioritized people as the cornerstone of her success. “When you invest in their growth, everything else follows. Talented, empowered teams are the engine behind meaningful innovation and sustainable success.” She also emphasized the importance of balancing consistency and innovation: holding onto core values while embracing bold new ideas. This philosophy has enabled her to keep her brand relevant and trusted.  Words for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
To those just starting out, Melanie encourages perseverance and self-belief: “It’s natural to feel like everything is out of reach in the beginning. But the only real limits are the ones we place on ourselves. Keep going—the sky isn’t the limit, it’s just the first milestone.” A Commitment to Community Beyond business, Melanie strongly believes in giving back. For her, success carries a responsibility to uplift others. “Success means little if you can’t use it to create opportunities for those who’ve had fewer chances.” Looking Ahead Receiving the Outstanding Entrepreneur Award marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Melanie envisions herself as a “business doctor,” working with companies to diagnose inefficiencies, address strategic challenges, and chart clear paths for growth. “I want to be the person businesses turn to when direction feels unclear, when momentum stalls, or when meaningful change becomes urgent,” she stated. With this recognition, Melanie Phua is set to further her mission of guiding businesses from uncertainty to sustainable success—continuing her legacy as a bold, resilient, and impactful entrepreneur.

凭借良好的人缘和专业的服务，VNA Design 业务发展迅速，许多艺人朋友也成为她的客户。与此同时，她的家庭生活也迎来新篇章——小女儿是她的事业搭档，大女儿则让她在49岁成为外婆。谈及生活，她感慨道：“虽然在人生旅途上，尤其婚姻路上经历了许多不顺遂，但我很感恩老天的眷顾，如今一家人和乐融融。” 展望未来，傅爱妮笑言：“希望公司业务蒸蒸日上，同时我依然很喜欢演戏，也期待能有更多机会再次回到荧光幕前。” 《星期二专栏》文稿撰写：管雪梅  在今届《红星大奖》中，雅慧凭《爱不虚拟》中的“颜素汐”一角入围“最佳女配角”，这是她首次挑战杀人凶手的角色，她坦言：“这是我第一次演杀手，对我来说是一个全新的挑战，也是突破。” 虽然最终无缘奖项，她仍替许美珍感到开心：“美珍姐入围多年，几次落空，今年终于得奖，我真心为她高兴。”雅慧也没有空手而归，再次夺得“十大红星”奖座，这已是她的第九座，明年若再入围，将晋升“超级红星”，演艺事业再攀高峰。  离开新传媒 走出舒适圈再出发 2023年2月底，雅慧约满离开新传媒，她表示：“我想走出舒适圈，尝试不同的东西。”她强调并未放弃演员身份：“我还是最爱演戏，只要有适合的角色，我一定会接演。”她透露，本月底将参与一部英语短剧（微电影）演出。 近年，她转战幕后，尝试担任导演：“当演员演好戏后，拍完就可以回家，但导演要处理的事情更多，前期准备、拍摄细节都需要亲自把关。” 她曾在社交媒体分享心得：“台前，我用表演传递情感；幕后，我用镜头讲述故事。演员与导演的双重身份，让我以不同方式，探讨人生的无限可能。”  18年演艺之路 从‘小妹’到多面手 雅慧坦言，转幕后后才意识到自身不足：“我经常上网看广告和视频，学习导演拍摄手法、剪辑和效果。”回顾18年的演艺路，她笑言：“我不是科班出身，一路摸索学习，有泪水也有汗水，甚至想过放弃，但不想辜负之前的努力，才坚持到今天。” 她说，改变她的是《118》这部长剧：“因为剧集长，给我更多时间磨练，让我真正懂得什么是演戏。” 2007年，19岁的雅慧参加《才华横溢出新秀》，虽然未进前三，却赢得“最上镜女新秀”，正式踏入演艺圈。她主演过多部电视剧，包括《心花朵朵开》《团圆饭》《乒乓圆》《五福到》《万福楼》《双星报喜》《小小传奇》《118》《大英雄》《爱不虚拟》《异家人》等，留下深刻荧幕形象。 谈及童年，她笑道：“小学时只要有演出机会，我绝不缺席，即使只是演一棵树，没有台词没有动作，我也很开心。”曾主持《优优猫》的她，回忆道：“没想到还有观众记得，那时大家都叫我‘小妹’。”  未来心愿：拍一部属于自己的电影
出道18年，雅慧坦言：“我希望有机会演出一部属于自己的电影。”以她的实力与坚持，这个愿望相信不久将实现。 |
