Health is Wealth! 💎✨ We couldn’t agree more. This week, we’re excited to introduce Azrina Azim from Strategy Office, Karen Tan from Ops & Facility, and Dr Jessica Choo from Cataract & Comprehensive Ophthalmology. Discover how these inspiring colleagues embrace wellness and self-care in their daily lives!

Azrina finds happiness in small pockets of ‘me-time’, whether it’s reflecting on her day, practicing gratitude, pampering herself at home, or experimenting with a new recipe. These simple rituals help her recharge and stay positive. 🧘‍♀️💖

Karen’s self-care journey is full of rhythm and adventure! She loves Argentine tango, deejaying, and rock climbing. 🎶🧗‍♀️For her, tango is more than just a dance, it’s like a conversation where music allows her to express herself and her emotions.💃

Dr Jessica Choo unwinds through exercise, especially spinning (indoor cycling). She finds it’s the perfect cardio workout, combining great music and uplifting vibes to help her relax and stay energised. 🚴‍♀️🎵✨

Last week, we marked Kindness Day with a simple reminder to slow down and appreciate one another. 💛

Our colleagues took a meaningful break to explore self-love and kindness through fun activities like tossing games and memory challenges. They also penned heartfelt notes of appreciation to one another, spreading positivity across the workplace.

To top it off, we indulged in delicious treats like Tako balls and Chendol while enjoying quality time catching up with one another.

There were also small gifts such as aroma diffusers and painting sets for staff to unwind and recharge.

Kindness truly goes a long way. 💛
