I am now a financial life planner with Great Eastern. Many must have been very surprised with this path that I chosen. Not just because they think that this isn’t a job for a fresh grad but… “Huh?? Insurance agent?”- was the most common response I got. Haha. Of course they were also many who were really cool with it and others who approached me for financial advice.

It was quite an obstacle for me to eventually decide on this path as I myself have a stigma towards insurance agents. I believe in insurance protection. Since young, I have been rather aquatinted with the idea of sound financial planning and life protection due to Mum’s influence and also due to personal reasons which I would love to share..

I am sure all of you would have thought of your own goals and aspirations before you decided to do something..Choosing this path, I wish to increase the awareness of financial planning, to educate (hopefully), to create relationships with people and hopefully be a positive impact to people around me. I don’t know how long I will take to fulfill this goal. All of you shall be my judge(:

Financial planning includes things like life planning for education, retirement, etc, savings and endowments, investments, life insurance, health insurance, risk management, business succession planning, financial related advisory and so much more. The team that I have joined is really an inspirational one(got lots to share too!(:) We focus on needs-based service which is helping people to review what they need before following up with recommendations!

Feel free to just ask me about anything and everything. I will gladly offer my help (:

Without Dad, life at home has changed drastically. Dad used to be the one doing the daily marketing, planning our meals, taking care of grandma, repairing whatever that is needed to be repaired, basically taking charge of every family member's basic needs. Now that my Dad is not around, every family member has taken up new roles and responsibilities. My dad's work load, both at home and at work is now shared by 4 members of my family + a few relatives.. (So you can imagine how much work he has to do everyday...)
These few days, I have taken up the marketing role and my siblings and I have been to my Dad's office to learn about his business operations. I have been rather busy and right now I feel so tired both mentally and physically.
Getting invovled in whatever my daddy had to do just makes me ponder how he managed to juggle between providing for the family and dealing with work in the office, without complaining or without showing a hint of tiredness.
