For many, the festive season is a time of food, celebrations, social interaction, and hype. Coupled with the continuous demands of work and life, such periods can sometimes leave us feeling drained, and some of us may even struggle to get a breather. In this issue, I have put together resources on how we can possibly wind down and benefit from more intentional quiet and less noise. | How To Live a Quiet Life in a Big City A quiet life is created from the inside out, and not the other way around. Let's try to find out how. | Using The Power of Silence To Get More Falling silent, also known as the effective pause, is a powerful tool to use during interpersonal communication. It is a skill in which you intentionally create a void in the dialogue, before or after saying something meaningful, to entice the other side to continue talking and perhaps expound on a point they were trying to make. | Quicy's Tavern - Drink Recipes Compilation | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones.

It was at a time where I needed to kickstart my savings/investment/health plans to secure a better future for myself and the people that I love.
I’ve met a few FAs before syamim. Truth be told, some were intimidating and some were pushy to sign the plans. Some were very adamant about their ‘own way of planning’.
What I love about Syamim is that he is never pushy. He will answer all your queries and he is not intimidating. He will understand your life’s goals first, before curating a financial plan that suits you. Very knowledgeable about investments and very understanding as an FA. Alas, he is now my friend that I can count on for advices.
I recommend you to set a meeting with Syamim to start your financial journey with him. I genuinely believe that he got what it takes to advice you, plan your finances and take care of your investments. I support him 100%, and I trust my financial journey is in good hands. | | | Azalea (HR Executive) Seasoned financial advisors are aplenty but few are able to provide a service of great efficacy. I was "transferred" to Syamim as my new financial advisor.
Speaking about your finances to a stranger (then) can be daunting. It doesn't take a while for anyone to realise his passion to creating the best plausible financial circumstances to his clients. He breaks down big explanations into bits and pieces for me to digest easily. He is forthcoming to take on any doubts raised. His style of cutting through the noise enables me to understand recommendations proposed and with his calm demeanour, to explain them candidly.
His unwavering commitment has proven to give me a primer to read on other aspects of financial management. So if you are looking to get your finances in tip top health, and be emboldened to take charge of it, I recommend Syamim. All the best!! | | | Dan (Civil Servant) I heard many good reviews from my friends regarding Syamim’s Financial advisory services. And at that point of time I was looking for one. I’ve heard of many financial consultants but I personally felt that Syamim was the best amongst all the other consultants I’ve heard of. And true enough he was nothing short of that during my first consultation with him. He was not pushy at all. He gave me advices which were useful and I’ve been applying it in my monthly financials ever since.
He is also really keen and sincere in helping me improve my financial situation so that I could achieve my desired financial goals. What I really like about Syamim is that he really monitors my progress and gives me reminders every now and then to ensure that I'm always on track to achieve my financial goals.
Syamim and I aren't far apart in terms of age so we could connect and relate to each other’s stories and life experiences. As we shared our stories, our relationship turned from Financial consultant and client to friends. I got really comfortable with sharing almost everything about my financial situation and we do also talk about life. The experiences and lessons Syamim shared with me helps me a lot because I can relate to it and he’s always there to give me really useful advice about financials and life in general.
I definitely would recommend Syamim to others especially for those who are looking for a financial consultant who will consistently help, monitor and give them the extra push to achieve their financial goals. | | | Aiq (Teacher) I wanted to take charge of my finances and start my financial journey right as I just got a full-time job and was planning to get married. My then fiancé, now husband, introduced me to Syamim. We met for a non-obligatory consultation, and I was clueless then – no idea about what type of insurance I needed or any savings or retirement plan.
What made me choose Syamim as my financial consultant was that he was patient in explaining any question that I had. No question was a bad question. He was thorough in his explanation and whenever I was not sure which option to choose, he will go through all the options I had and did not pressure me to sign for anything I was uncomfortable with.
He is very consistent in checking up on my husband and I, we meet every half-year for an update (whether we are on track or not – so nerve-wrecking haha) and what to work towards in the next 6 months, which I find is helpful. Although my husband and I threw some surprises his way in terms of our plans, Syamim was quick to relook at our finances and set new, manageable goals for us.
Thanks Syamim for your patience and hard work so far! 😊
| | | Zabeer (Business owner) I was encouraged to meet Syamim by my best friend due to the great experience he had with the services and relationship he offered. I was always the person who thought that I could manage my own financial planning for the future.
My first meeting with Syamim was very different than what I had pictured. It was more like having a friend over to who has keen listening ear and someone who has our interest as his main priority. He gives you ideas and is not steadfast in selling his point of view rather he is willing to find the closest solutions to our financial needs.
Understanding the priorities that we have, he constructs a clear financial plan for both the near and the distant future. When you choose him as your financial planner , you get a person who is meticulous in looking after the fine details of your financial goals that you have. Rest assured , you can have the peace of mind that it is well taken care of.
I would recommend any person to have a first meeting with Syamim before you take a decision on engaging any other person for your financial needs or if you were someone like me, try meeting Syamim and feel the impression he can make on you. | | | Firah (Investor Relations) Syamim helped me sort out my finances and created a monthly financial plan I could follow. This has been very helpful for me in keeping my finances in check.
I now understand that personal finance does not mean to just work and save up money in the bank. We will never have enough savings to cover our daily expenses if we fall sick one day hence the need to protect our income. Wealth accumulation starts with investing on assets over a long period of time. Putting this amount of money in a bank would be meaningless if you compare the interest earned from the bank vs inflation.
This experience was insightful and I finally understand the importance of financial planning. From my experience, other advisors did not explain it clearly enough for me as he did.
I would definitely recommend this meeting to my close friends and family. | | | | |
