CNY Celebration

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

CNY celebration this year has been happening so far.

I went m’sia to visit my paternal relatives. Nope, I’m not a m’sian, my relatives are. Seems like whenever I told someone I went m’sia, they would definitely asked if i’m a m’sian. >_<

Ang baos collection has been great so far, though still a shortfall from my personal target. *intend that I’ll hit my personal target soon* hohoho…

I really felt like a "pig" during this pig year celebration. You wouldn’t believe the amount of food I ate! Seems to me that every 3 hours we would have a meal. And OMG!!! I had the BAK KUT TEH that i’ve been craving for so long, and it was fantastic! Of cos, the seafood and reunion dinner was great too.

But food aside, what really touches me was that I finally learnt how to play PIANO properly for the 1st time!!! My 3 cousins, aged 6 - 12, taught me how to play 3 simple music pieces. Gosh !!! So touched!!! *sniffs* And they are amazing. So small size yet so musically talented. I was mesmerized by their mini demonstration. I shall let my kids learn how to play piano too at a very young age. You never know how handy it might be to mesmerize their future partners. Hohoho… *chuckles*

Okay, i guess what truly amazes me was the fireworks. Albeit it is illegal to play with fireworks in m’sia, many ppl. bought fireworks from the black market. And note this word- MANY! I literally had my fill watching fireworks the whole night. It’s like seeing fireworks for 5 national days in Singapore. I’m not kidding!

Despite all the happenings, my heart yearns to be back in Singapore, except for the fact that I’ll miss my grandpa ALOT. Yea… will visit him during my summer hols. *intend*

I reach Singapore on Tues wee morning, around 3am. Den after catching up with my sleep, i went to GuangLiang and Lydia’s place (my bball kakis, whom got married and moved to their new home recently) to "bai nian". Played mahjong and they cooked dinner for the bball gang. Nice!

I watched Don Juan DeMarco again, and OMG!!! So romantic!!! Sigh… wish there’s a Don Juan in reality. People nowadays are so caught up with material pursuits that they forgot how to be TRULY ROMANTIC. I want my "Don Juan". Heh heh =P

Alright, that’s what been happening over the past few days…

Lottery

Oh, something amazing happened during the CNY. My mum striked lottery in m’sia. My dad striked lottery in Singapore.

As for me. I had a premonition that this 4-digit would strike. But somehow I was hesitating buying the numbers in Singapore. Anyway, I shrugged away the thought.
Guess what?!?

The number came out in M’sia!

Freaking weird I tell you. Even though I din buy, I felt like a Big Winner.

Hmm… what’s weird is that this is not the 1st time already.

And I’m certain there’ll be more in the future.

Hmm… weird.

V’day

Gratitude

I wrote down a whole list of things I can be grateful for by letting go of the past…

Wan2 acknowledge myself for the self-coaching and self-healing, as well as letting it go.

And for allowing LOVE to overwhelm me once again.

I am LOVE.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Great Strategist

I’m grateful for being blessed the capacity of stategizing and planning.

I’m grateful for being blessed the ability to play mind games if I choose to.

I’m grateful for being blessed the ability to analyze things / ppl. effortlessly.

Henceforth, I’ll only use these abilities as a tool and not as an end goal. Especially applicable to relationships.

Never be like those ppl. whom got blinded by their ego.

Walk the higher path of Inspirational coaching.

Inspire. Inspire. Inspire.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
V’day Celebration

I enjoyed my v’day this year. Had lots of fun giving and receiving love.

The Not-so-gd:
the least i expected was to coach during v’day. >_<  trust me, coaching skills is great but not when you gotta coach yr date on v’day. i never knew how coaching can be that useful. sigh…
Gotta wait 1 hour plus for a guy. It is so unlike me to stay so cool. I usually have a low threshold for guys who can be later than me. But hey, i realized i can be really patient when i choose to. *patz*

The GREAT happenings:

I bought DON JUAN DEMARCO dvd!!!!!!!

Who wants to borrow?!? Quick! Take a queue number!!!

great pressies, great flowers, great company, great shopping, great lunch and dinner treats, great conversations, great catching up, feel great giving… and feel great being single!!!

Cool!

Hmm… come come. let’s start clearing the clutters. =)

Be Specific in your Intentions

FOCUS!

Had a presentation today.

I like the way the mind was focused in delivering the presentation, instead of being reminded of the thousands and one clutters i’ve yet to clear.

Next task please!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inspirational coaching

I used to have an issue with self-blame / self-doubt. Had the tendency to "beat myself up" when things dun meet up to my expectations.

On one hand, it served me well that i’d always give my ego a reality check from time to time…

On the other hand, it did not serve me well that i short-changed myself n limit my potential.

The moment self-doubt was resolved, a newfound realm of inspirational coaching opens up for me.

And I realized I just want to inspire others that they have their own inner wisdom, love and courage, and all i need to do is to remind them of who they are, and where they once belong.

We are ALL, very WISE indeed!

And ALL, capable of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE and ACCEPTANCE.

That you dun see it happening now because you’ve yet to learn the lessons that you’re supposed to learn…

Is there a recurring pattern in your life that you’ve been having?…

What lessons can you learn from it?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Romance

Another reminder today that…

Things dun flow according to what I want b’cos…

I never specify what I want in the 1st place…

Argh!!!!!!!!

Okok… I’ll be more specific NOW!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What Do I really want?

So tell me what is it that you really want?

And what is it that you really really want?

And what is it that you really really really want?

No idea???

Great! No wonder you dun get what you want.

Quick lah! What is it that you want?

My source of inspiration

http://www.liveyourmark.org/tcc/

The only self-improvement program I know of where participants graduate with more wisdom, more sense of responsibility and the ability to create more results in their lives than before.

Probably the only one where you still reap benefits from the aftermath of the course for the rest of your life.

The Courage to Create (TCC) - The Journey to Within.

Superstar

So Darren won. Well, I like him… though I’d hope a gal would win this time.

Whatever lah, it doesn’t matter.

Architecture Analysis

No wonder so many ppl. bitched moaned and whined to me last semester.

I finally experienced what they went thru.

>_<

The Law of Causality

On the bus ride to the office, "epiphany" struck me.

I realized how long it took me to reach where I am now, how long it took me to attract the
ppl. I attracted just so I can learn the necessary lessons from them, and how long it
took me to understand what is the GOAL of LIFE.

I’d repeated the cycle of human trap over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over for eternity just to learn this lesson.

I’m ready to return to where I belong.

I dun want to repeat the cycle again next lifetime.

Shopping

Bought lotsa cool stuffs.

Yea, and I feel pretty.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nice Quote

Saw this T-shirt when I was shopping and I like the quote. It kinda reflects how I feel,

"I may not be perfect but parts of me are pretty awesome."

Child Psychology

I introduced a reward incentive scheme to this mischievious tuition kid of mine.

It just transformed him into a hardworking obedient and easily manipulated student.

Makes me feel how damn easy to "brain-wash" ppl. from young into a system called
"meritocracy".

And equally easy for ppl. to buy into the idea that life is meaningful and purposeful, and
so long as they accumulate enough good karma in this lifetime they will have a ticket
to the kingdom of Heaven.

Dun get me wrong. The system is good and forward mankind. But those whom dunno
how to use it as a tool will end up being the tool.

FOS

No wonder I feel so lethargic lately.

Forgot to channel my energies to the right place and the right time for the right resources.

Shit !
