My Best Self: Stephanie Foong
Always be prepared and ask for help when you need it.
(There’s no end to ones capability to learn and gain new experience to better prepare yourself for the in the future.)
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in a small town called TAIPING, Perak, Malaysia – the name Taiping is made up of two Chinese characters 太 (tai – ‘great’) and 平 (ping – ‘peace’) – https://wikitravel.org/en/Taiping Taiping town lives up to it’s name as a very peaceful place with it’s beautiful Lake Gardens surrounded by century old rain trees. It’s once known to be the wettest town in Malaysia and previously people will gamble on where the first drop of rain will fall on. It’s a place I will look forward to retire.

Best piece of advice you have received?
Being a NICE-PERSON always may not benefit you in the long run. You can be FIRM but not mean or unfriendly.
What do you try and do frequently to focus on mental health/wellness?
- Have the ultimate teammates to work with
- There must be a time when you clock off work to have some time with family/friends or just ME-time.
- Try to schedule some self pampering time – facials, spas, massages, retail therapy or even treating yourself to a good meal.
- Trying to adopt a constant exercise routine.
