From Desk-Bound To Des-Tiny : A Metaphysical Awakening
In this episode of In The Spotlight, I'm very delighted to introduce to you my good friend @KevinChanBazi (https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCQWCF2gMVIE08LuKXRFc3AQ). He does Chinese Metaphysics and on YouTube and other social media platforms, he introduces the fundamentals and mechanisms of action of Chinese Metaphysics in both English and Cantonese which are especially helpful for many people, especially English speaking individuals, to understand and learn more about Chinese Metaphysics. I would also like to congratulate Kevin for reaching 10,000 Subscribers on YouTube, an important milestone to helping even more people. I met Kevin in a very unexpected way. One day, I got invited to a fashion show as a VIP Content Creator / Influencer. I'm someone who doesn't know much about fashion but I tried my best to look the part by wearing the ONLY fashionable outfit I had in my wardrobe, my Wedding Tuxedo. Not far from where I was standing, I was looking at an equally blur, not very friendly, and confused face of another person, standing by a light pole, who probably understands just as much fashion as me. I approached him and there were some awkward moments (Ray Mak is weird and always make people uncomfortable) but we quickly realize we were on the same boat and we went for dinner and beer with a few other friends, same boat minions, instead of staying for the entire fashion show. In this episode of In The Spotlight, we talked about how Kevin started his early morning Livestreams and how he pivoted from writing blogs into Livestreaming and making videos. He shared about his setup and how important is streamlining his livestream processes. Here you'll be learning more about livestream processes, starting a channel, and how to have the least amount of resistance towards creating contents. On the side, Kevin love visiting different restaurants and bars to wine and dine. He has a steadily growing Instagram page called EatinGods, which is also available on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@eatingods . People would stumble upon good restaurants on his page and save them for future. After all, there are so many amazing restaurants in Malaysia, and other countries, that are yet to be discovered. PS : Kevin is also the catalyst, push, idea and brains behind In The Spotlight. Like many introverts that look like extroverts, I'm someone who have a lot of fear talking to the camera but I'm very blessed to have many good friends who have much more to offer to the society than me, which I've never taken the time to realize, until I met Kevin.

From Cubicles to Coconut Trees : A Retiree's Journey from the USA to Malaysia
A little over a year ago, one of my good friends, Jean Hew, told me that she have been watching this very interesting expat who's posting about his life on YouTube and he happens to be showcasing some houses around my area. Which means, he lives just nearby! I checked out his videos and his voice is angelic, it's super calming like Frederic Chopin's Andante Cantabile. I emailed him, and introduced myself, the formal and traditional way, as he's not very active on Instagram back then and we quickly became good friends, and neighbors since he just lives across the street.
