- I DID NOT CRY AH. Hello our TH-cam Fam, decided to do something a little different this week. In our first video, I told you that I aspired to creating a more honest and authentic space and this is my attempt to start! Sharing with you some personal behind-the-scene stories about the channel and business, my weight and fitness journey, as well as my mental health space. Thank you for journeying with us, we appreciate it! Our next collaboration with Jewel Changi and it's coming up on September 30th! :)

Mr Aiken Chia. Plain authentic and wholesome. My man you deserve more than a million subs, you deserve the world.
💙💙💙 undeserving but very grateful. Thanks for watching and leaving this comment Keith!
Thanks Aiken
I love how authentic and wholesome you are! Love this idea of connecting and sharing real life stories 👏🏼 we need more of these, to show the world that they’re not alone and they too can grow and be resilient too 😊
Love the idea of interviewing people on overcoming adversity and what you went through with your mom kinds of videos. These kind of videos tuck my heart strings as a mom of 2. Looking forward to your great content. 👍Jiayou!
Thank you! Seeing my friends who are new parents has given me a reality check! It's so tough to be a parent in our day and age, you're doing a great and awesome job I'm sure :) thank you for watching!!!
Viewer from the Philippines here. I have been following and watching you since Food King and when that era ended, I was really worried on where you would go because I really liked your vibe and energy you brought to the show. You are so funny on days that I feel down and depressed.
So it was such a relief you were able to find strength in starting your own youtube channel. I know it took a while to starting over again but I believe you just took your time, explore, and recharge. So I think the McDonalds gig was a sign. A go signal that it is THE TIME for you to really pursue and unlock your full potential. And I am loving your content so far. I hope when we get to visit SG, I would get to personally say thank you and wish you all the best of luck in "Every Good Endeavor" for you, your company and your team moving forward. All the best best best.
Awww so nice to hear from you Camille! Thank you for taking the time to write this and for watching all these years. I absolutely agree, it was the signal for us to go for it and gave us the push we needed. It is the friends like you who keep us going 💙💙💙
Hey Aiken! I’m not religious but you are the type of person I respect because of how down to earth and genuine you are. You’re the type of christians that deserves every bit of following and converts! How I wish more christians would be like you. Stay humble!
It needs hell of courage to be vulnerable and real. And that starts with breaking down first. Thank you for being you.
Looking forward to you reconstructing a better version of yourself.
Hi Aiken and Team, just want to come on and say that I feel thankful to be a part of your journey and it's such a breath of fresh air to have someone be brave enough to be their true authentic self on camera. Like many of your viewers, we appreciate all of the effort and HEART you put into creating content and beyond just that, for putting yourself forward. You have my support always!
really would love to see more of this authentic stuff ! Thanks aiken ! for being an inspiration of being able to love and serve God in both life and deed, showing that creator’s should still focus on eternity!
thank you Aiken for being so real with us😊 god is surely doing great and mighty works in your life!
Will you be interviewing Christian content creators, like Ben Kheng and naomi, even Chiara, to get their perspective on overcoming adversity? Would love to see that.
Also really thank you for being authentic, its really encouraging 😊
Praying that God will continue to keep you, guide you and bless you as you create content. 🙏🏻

He talks about it in this video.
Thank you Aiken. Seldom leave comments on social media but really quite enjoyed this vid. Totally agree that how you behave and interact with people will overflow into your whole life. Thanks for being genuine and your sharing distilled many learning points and our shared struggles on weight loss and childhood trauma really resonated with me. All the best, stay true to yourself and you will conitinue to have fans who support and grow with you. 😊
You are indeed one content creator that truly matters! Love that you are so genuine & sincere.
Cant wait for your new direction in your channel!
Take care
Thanks Aiken. You are a real inspiration. Thank you for being real. Sharing with us that it’s ok not to be ok.
Jiayou Aiken! Everyone has their circumstances, but glad to hear that you are working on it! Continue to rock the world!
I think interviewing content that talks about issues and problems people face is a great idea. I don't think any influencers would be courageous enough to do such content to explore deeper. Well done!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! Coming soon :) now that I've said it.... hahaa
so cute of you to carry such excitement which also bring that energy across the platform and to me hehe. it's so pleasant to see you like this, doing what you want and prioritising your passion. nice to hear that you're doing great and it really motivate myself to have to courage to stand tall and that there always will be a time for everything. nice to hear that you will be doing more on mental health too! looking forward to it!
Love your content Aiken!! You’re such a light in the SG TH-cam scene. Cheering you on!
Aiken you're so amazing. Thank you for the honesty and can't wait to see what you and the team will create!! ❤
wow Aiken after watching this video, I come to again realize how God works in ways we cannot see. and maybe through this channel and you, many more people with mental health issues will find peace and guidance. Always be trusting him even when we think its not the way. Will be watching this space more for many more awesome content that you and the team will be pushing out! Keep fighting Aiken!
respect. been following since the NOC days, and its great to see that you're growing closer to god, prioritizing your health, and developing healthy work habits! keep up the good work
Thank you for being so raw and vulnerable! It's rlly very encouraging as well!
Following you on the social media made a great impact on me that i can confidently say you changed my life. cheers to you bravely sharing your thoughts on life, your physical journey, and your mental health journey! really appreciate it! should you make the creator crash course im so in! and should you feel like doing more vids like this, i'll be one of the pair of eyes and brain that watched! thank you for creating this video!
Love the direction you are taking and the ideas you have floated bro. Looking forward to the amazing work that you are going to put out going forward!
Thanks Aiken for sharing so much with us. Looking forward to your upcoming videos!
Thank you for this video and sharing ur faith and authentic self with us❤ keep going Aiken! Keep making the brave decisions that you do 💪 God will bless you on this journey.
Thank you Aiken for being so real :) can see how God is really positioning you to be salt and light where you are. Will pray for you!!
OMG AC, I totally resonate with this YT post especially the part of mental health where I have also been shutting myself/my emotions down due to life challenges... thanks for sharing and to know that I'm not alone. Hugs!
More content please!! You are super fun to watch and we need more good authentic meaningful content. Can't wait to see how your channel grows...
Thank you Aiken for being true to yourself and to your audience. I’ll be sure to follow you and see how your life evolve. Good vibes. Good bless !!
Your authenticity is inspiring! Keep going and growing in the path that's set for you
Thanks for this heartwarming video, Aiken! Been watching a lot of your videos and the last part really struck me cuz sometimes we get fixated on numbers and not the people who contributed to the views. 💗🥰 If there's a creator course coming out soon, I'd be interested in signing up! Cheers and best of luck for your new journey on TH-cam! 😁😁
I resonated at the part where "our industry (in SG) needs more creators producing good work" 👍 Not just controversies and scandals. Really inspired!
this. is. growth. 🎉🎉🎉 proud of u and what u and ur team have achieved. way to go!
Thanks for being so honest, Aiken! I was on a tough journey late last year too, so what you mentioned was relatable to me. It takes time to heal, and I could see you’ve become a stronger and better person now (of course I know what I see on screen is not everything). Thank you for being such an inspiration. :)
💪💪💪 so happy we made it through and the tough year didn't get the better of us! Sending you love and support! May this be your best year yet!
Thanks for being so open and sharing about your process of change and how it takes constant evaluation and re-evaluation of our lives!
Looking forward to seeing some of that new content you spoke about! I love listening to people's life stories and how they over come adversity and grow to be a better version of themselves!
Absolutely! Loved that you highlighted re-evalution. So necessary and important :) thank you for watching and commenting!!!
Thank you for being open and honest about your journey. By doing so you expose areas in other people's lives which will cause them to take another look at what they are living through.
Yes to more wholesome content! I really didn't like NOC last time because they did certain videos that felt so mean-spirited. Always thought you didn't really belong there so I think it's really good that certain things happened to push you out from there and start your own channel. I only watched content hosted by you when you were in NOC. You really have talent in hosting, I'm glad you're still here! Jiayou!
Absolutely loved this vid :) would love to hear you and your mum's story!!
Super loving this. This has been a timely reminder and encouragement!
Hi Aiken,
Thank you for your authentic content. It is way more difficult to create such content than those scripted ones. Thanks for sharing on the mental health issues. I think sometimes is normal for us to tend to deviate from what we really need to be focusing on (personal health and mental health) due to circumstances living in this world, but as long as we keep trying, never give up, and one day we will have the best of both world. Jiayou!!!
Yo Aiken, been a long time viewer since Food King days, glad to hear that you're doing better now! Keep going man!
Thank you Aiken for being so honest, it's great to see the real you. You have our support. Do more of what you feel good doing, we can't wait for more.
Thank you Grace! 😊
I don't usually comment on yt videos (shy) but dropping one here to say that you have a very good direction (for your yt, yourself, visions and what kind of impact you wanna bring to content creation, in this industry etc) and you are doing great!! Thanks for being so real and authentic! I enjoy your content :)
So amazing that God spoke to you during that church service! You’re attentive noy only to His voice but to your viewers. I would like to just affirm your position and influence. You’re His soldier, specially hand picked for His purpose for you. All the best! So glad to hear that you’re feeling better too!
the very 1st time i saw Aiken on the NOC video with the other lady as guests on 1 of the foodking episodes, i had the gut feeling that Aiken has such potential for greatness. Love your work Aiken, jiayou!
Thank you!!! 💙💙💙 when I'm unsure about my gut, I'm gonna go with yours! Haha
I can relate so much to the mental health part and I love how honest and authentic this video is. You express yourself very well. 👍 Jiayou!
It’s nice to see you looking better with each video that you created! Jia you!!
Wow I never thought I would like this kind of HTHT content, keep going homie! ❤
Thank you my friends!!! Congratulations on all your wonderful success!!!💙💙💙
Love thisss!! Thanks for being real in the realm of social media where everything is unreal. We love authenticity. Can’t wait for more awesome content!!!

Oh yay! Wowwww two of my favourites! I trust you had good food at these 2 places. Thank you for watching and commenting! You guys are friends for sure 💙💙💙
@@AikenChiaMing OMG never in a million years I thought you’re gonna reply my comment. Hahaha way too excited my God. Pray for your next endeavor. Don’t worry too much, everything will be fine
Eh bro, been following you since NOC and felt I grew up with you to some extent. Just continue to hold on to your values and authenticity! Will always support your content! Blessings.
So happy to hear that your start was full of lots of opportunities!
I usually dont watch a video of someone just talking except pewdiepie. But I can feel from the start you're worth my time to watch, like and rethink my current life situation. Thank you, keep doing you !! :)
Hey Aiken, thanks for being sincere & authentic. You're doing good! 💪👏🤩
It is absolutely inspiring to hear you connect with us. Thank you for helping me realise I needed a break as well - be it for health or mental health, it serves as a timely reminder that we are just humans after all! ;)
Thank you for watching and commenting! I hope you get the rest you need! 💙💪
looking forward to it! ♥️
Listened to you share about your family’s story and your struggles when you were younger during Easter wk encounter at SAJC! Was really touched and inspired, really made me reflect on my own life :”) so awesome that you are willing to share all this so openly :) lesgo aiken 🔥
That was a special night!!! One that I'll remember for awhile. Thank you for commenting and watching!
I am truly impressed that you're so honest here. It's something that is lacking on TH-cam. Thanks for being the exemplary example here and for setting yourself apart. You are an inspiration. Keep moving in the direction God has set for you. I will be here to learn and support!
Thankyou for your effort in planning good content! I love ur food recommendation n authentic stories~
You r nowhere near fat to begin with honestly. Thin image dont fit u well i feel or mayb im just bias. U just seem more warmly this way, u r just fine~ you have also encouraged me to really set aside time to start planning ahead. Thank you!
Heyy Aiken , I was really sad that all of the food king videos all got taken down like even tho a lot of stuff happened I felt like I watched from the first video until the last & tbh I've tried a lot of places that you guys when too. I think tbh yes Ive watched a lot of TH-cam videos and those who last are certainly people who can just show who they are I mean yes some days you're not gonna feel like it but I feel like you got this mannn!!! Have fun with what you're doing and fly highhhh mannnn !! :)
its really nice to hear that you're healing and you being vulnerable by being strong. and i'm glad to hear that your faith is helping you too. i'm a new adult and i feel like money is soooo important, but i need to remember that money isnt everything :) OH ALSO I MISS THE FEMALE CHEF I FORGOT HER NAME HAH
Thanks Aiken for the genuine sharing! Awww! 🥰🥰🥰
Looking forward to more content from you! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Stay True! Stay grounded!

Mental health can be challenging and for some it may be too much but its never too late to seek help and get if fixed, don't bottle up your emotions. Btw love your videos keep up the good work.
Absolutely. Never too late indeed. Thank you for the affirming reminder 💪
