The Decode Diary

The Decode Diary isn"t just a podcast; it"s your passport to the untold stories of the average-looking but extraordinary Joes who try their best to make it in life. I first stumbled upon the idea of providing insights and perception of the general public when I had so much to talk about but also had so much to learn from those around me. The Decode Diary is a journey and process to decode and decrypt the everyday actions of these people with whom we can relate so much. If you are interested in

2025/04/29

I never had the chance to speak to a makeup artist, let alone the chance to know what a day in the life of a makeup artist is like. It seems there is a lot more than I expect, from having to wash and dry a HUNDRED over brushes in a night to being treated unfairly despite being a junior in the industry. The pressure and suppression a makeup artist has to endure is probably one of the most understated in the industry, likely because they are expected to show up and just complete the job. I sat down

41 conversations in a year! I want to do this again, but my gut tells me to have more in-depth conversations to maximize my learning out of each story. Let me know what story you wish I would tell or make!"Resisting judgements" is a line I came up with that I think fits The Decode Diary very well. There may or may not be an agenda with a story, but it remains the top priority to let the story flow till the end before a conclusion is made. It simply preserves the genuinity of the story! Do you

As far as I can remember, I have never spoken to a nurse before, of course excluding the times I woke up in the middle of the night to get my blood drawn when I was at the hospital. But I didn’t speak to the nurses either, it wasn’t a conversation. In this episode, I sat down with Farah to learn the stories behind a nurse and all the kindness a nurse would offer to any random stranger, something even I struggle to do when times are bad. Think about nurses.The conversation helped me understand a

This is my first time recording the episode very, very close to nature. As a nature lover and a scout during my high school days, camping is one of the most common activities we would do and being outdoors just makes sense to me. But not to many kids and parents.GreenLife Project is a green project started by TuMa, whom unfortunately wasn’t available on the recording day, with the ultimate mission of living simply with nature and contributing back in whatever ways she can.

As someone who has family members diagnosed with cancer, I am deeply concerned about this topic. For whatever reason, the idea of sticking to a healthy diet, having a fixed sleep routine and working out to keep my joints and muscles active have appealed largely in the past year for me. 10 months have passed, I’m not entirely sure about the results, and talking to a dietician/nutritionist is the only way to find out if I have been eating healthy. There have been noises about sugar feeding cancer

2024/10/13

When I first heard of this new startup which has only been around for 8 months since the start of 2024, I had a lot of skepticism. Particularly, the way it solves the plastic problem because it actually introduces more plastic into the ecosystem. Sure, they could have introduced another material and still call it a green company, but I think the problem of single-use plastics is still there. The idea and concept of single use. I get it, because it’s so convenient and far too much time saved if we

I’ve known Xin Hui since young and witnessing this journey of her life is just heartwarming. It takes not only courage but also strategic thinking, commitment and the undying fire in her to start Tiny Pockets, an online bakery business during the Covid period. Many would have said it was easy to start back then, but it is a whole different story to persist till today. Xin Hui’s unique approach to her bakery business has made her one of the successful women I know today, all while having a side gig

Listening to Stephen’s journey of starting his business helped me gain a tremendous amount of insight into a founder’s mind as we all try to grasp what actually goes on in one. The startup founders we know from the Silicon Valley may be raking in millions of dollars while delivering superb value to customers, FireJet is a business from which Stephen and his co-founder stumbled upon a problem while building a website for a client and started a company. The solution may be simple on the outside, but

I, for one, couldn’t stand the idea of listening to just one side of the story when Sha came onto the show and talked about her entrepreneurial journey with Isya. I had to get Isya on. Slightly to my dismay but on a positive note, the story was aligned. One would be extra motivated listening to both their stories of how they set out to start a business of their own. One would be even deeply touched to hear how they stood for each other during bad times.But speaking to Isya was more than about her

I first met Daren at Google Singapore back in 2019 and he was already a great storyteller. Never would I have imagined that he would become a creator on the sister company of Google, YouTube and I was one of the early audiences watching his videos for investment advice and car reviews. Not that I would buy a car in Singapore. He has since posted consistently for 3 years and has grown a substantial number on his platform. The amazing thing about this conversation?

When we first met, Ashvin was telling me about his recent trip to Alaska on a cruise. Little did I know he runs a bar business and more shockingly, he was kicked out of school multiple times when he was younger. The days of being in school for him were more for entertainment. To him, some rules are never meant to be followed and he stood by his own opinions.Today, he runs his family business, picking up the necessary skills needed to engage with customers because school didn’t teach him those.

A simple conversation with Noel revealed how I am lacking a proper program for essential strength training that will actually help me get bigger. As simple as a 4-week program, it includes a deload week to ensure we don’t drive ourselves to the point of fatigue.

Shen Yi and Ameerul are both brilliant dieticians who clearly know what they are doing. If there is one thing that I learnt from them, it is that healthy means differently to everyone. However, outside of that definition, they are strict that one should consume food with the right portion. I'm not sure how other dieticians would advise their clients, but I'm glad to have learnt dieting the right way.If you didn't know about them, check out their website here to see what service they

Aside from keto diet, many women practice intermittent fasting because they want to get into the "best" shape of their body. To fully grasp the idea of intermittent fasting, it does not mean we can eat anything or everything when it comes time to feast. The 16-8 fasting framework is still one of the popular frameworks for guiding how to fast, but managing your portion of food intake is equally as important.Listen to the full conversation to find out how:

Did you know ketogenic diets were originally designed mainly for children with epilepsy? Keto diets are also now for people with diabetes and heart diseases but not for people having problems with their pancreas, liver or thyroid. I've heard many around me practicing keto diet not fully grasping the benefits and impacts to their health, both mentally and physically. It will only invoke a push factor for them to lay back on to their previous unhealthy diet. If we are to create a healthy diet,

Our diet these days seems to rely on whether we have time in our busy daily schedule for a proper meal plan. Cheap food and quick service restaurants make it almost impossible for us to follow a strict and healthy diet. With family members having health issues, I can’t help but want to understand the definition of a healthy diet and how we can achieve it, for my family and myself. In this episode, I speak to two dieticians about my daily meals and see if there’s anything I should fix. On top of

After touring a few of the properties in KL, we sat down in a cafe and Ganesha told me to look up this apartment called Kudalari Apartment. Full of curiosity, I typed in the name and hit enter. On the map, this apartment sits right smack in the middle of KL, right next to KLCC, the iconic twin towers in the city.When it was built, KLCC did not exist. Today, we can imagine the rent or even sale price of the apartment. This is the type of property we want to go for - the type where the development

Ganesha was supposed to take me to a property he think is non-investable. For many reasons, that property is a bad purchase if one is aiming to invest for profit. Long story short, we didn't make it to the property.But we have Ganesha on the podcast to tell us what it means to invest in a non-investable property. When I heard it, though short and simple, the advice applies to many other areas in life when it comes to money. Listen to the full conversation if you are looking to invest in

When Ganesha first told me about the different tier areas in Kuala Lumpur, a city so close to me and a city I grew up in, I wanted to know what the different tier areas mean. Trust me, you have to see it for yourself because if you are in the market for a new home or a rental property, this is the prime piece of information you cannot afford to miss. Knowing the different tiers means you have the upper hand to select the right investment and cash in within your capability. Doing this also means you
