I found this postcard given to me about 5 years ago from a senior. I would like to share it with you because it is simply inspiring. So here it is:
DREAMS
Some people see things as they are and asks why.
Others dream things that never were and ask why not.
What your mind can conceive and believe. It can be achieved.
So, ladies and gentlemen...What are your dreams?

I just realised how movie affects our subconscious too. I was watching alot of cold case and csi and I get paranoid and scared easily. btw, do you know which title is happy movie?
Have you watched the movie The Labyrinth? It is a classic that me and Sylvia love. At the time the movie was made, computer graphic was not common, so there is alot of puppets used. David Bowie also sang nice songs. It was entertaining and have a good message.
From the movie, I learnt to cherish my family and friends more, before they are gone. Well, this is one movie I recommend.
Do you have a favourite movie?

Walking Like A Duck
After 1 and 1/2 year of break, I finally got to join in the training for Taekwondo. It's a full, solid 3 hours of kicking, sparring (non-contact) and jogging. The effect... I am walking like a duck today!
I re-discovered why I love Taekwodo and this club so much! It started off with some catching up with the familiar juniors. And all of them seems to be very interested if I am back in Singapore for good...Yes, I'll be in Singapore and I will definitely join the training more often.
Then comes the warm-up and training. To my surprise I can keep up with the training, but half way through, my lungs started working overtime. I can feel the heat like the coal burning in the train to keep the train to move faster. This is a feeling that I have not felt for a long time, and I know that I am not as fit and flexible! I want to be back in shape!
The training ended with 2.4km run routine around the track. This is the part that I love because it is at my own pace and to enjoy the fresh air. But I almost give up at 1.8km. I had to use my will power to push through and complete the run! Using my will power to complete the training was also why I got hooked to the training of this club. It trains my mind and discipline! Definitely not for the weak hearted and low determination...
After that, we usually train overtime, practising our own kicks. I did reverse kick (or spinning back hook) and only manage to do 5 times and my head started to spin and daze! 20 times per leg was common 1 and 1/2 year ago!
Man it felt good after he workout, bathed and enjoyed a well-deserved dinner! I am definitely coming back for more trainings.
Although I am walking like a duck and my legs muscles are loaded with lactic acid as I am writing this posting, I know that my legs will be toner and sexier...haha!
I am so blessed and grateful that NTU still welcomes me and Sylvia! We're back!

Protect Your Subconscious When Watching Movie
I had marvelous time watching Spiderman 3 with the fantastic group of SCG! It's really a blessing and privilege to be in this gang.
The movie makers had been doing a great job in graphics, cinematography, costumes and also great lessons in life. There are few major lessons in this show, but here's something that you may want to take note of so that your conscious mind can screen things through before going into subconscious mind.
One major thing that I would like to point out, that the producers may not even aware of is, the bad guys are rich. The Goblin and his son is super rich and they are the portrayed as villain of the movie. If I am not aware and this info goes into my subconscious without screening, there's a good chance that I will sabotage myself so that I stay poor and be the good guy. Probably just as poor as Peter Parker/Spiderman if my hero is Spiderman.
Secondly, super heroes have poor relationships in their love life most of the time. Remember that relationship is part living a fulfilling life. And in the movie, Spiderman always have problems with Mary Jane. Probably to add in the drama to spice up the show, but not knowingly, the writer is "telling" the movie goers that you may not have good relationships if you are good.
These two themes has been quite common for almost all the super hero movies like Batman can't seem to have a relationship with the girl he likes. Same for Superman with Louise Lane.
And the list goes on. I mean, of course we can enjoy the movie and the drama but just be aware of it. Because with awareness comes choices.
To do a candid check on myself, when I was little, my favourite was Superman, luckily. I said luckily because Superman has a supportive family. In my teenager years, I am quite clumsy, like Clark Kent I guess. I always seem to do something wrong, bump and break stuff, etc. etc. And I have big plastic spectacles like the one Clark wears. Hahaha. Looking back it's quite funny. But I am aware now, and I release this clumsiness and nerdy look.
That's so much about me and my super hero that I can relate to for the time being. So what's our super hero when little? Be aware...

The Best Birthday Present
The best birthday present whom a dear friend of mine, Joe received was lots and lots of love from the close friends of Sweet Crazy Gang (SCG) just a few days ago. I am not elaborating the whole event here as the special occasion has been passionately and enthusiastically reported in the rest of the gangs' blogs.
What I feel like saying is that from this surprise party, I had also received from Joe his demonstration of his true friendship and TRUST in all of the SCG gang. He had trusted whole-heartedly and hold all our lies and acting (of course for a good purpose) true until he walked into his room. I am truly touched when I saw his expression when he saw the whole gang there, cramped in the dark and stuffy room, just to give him our best gift! His gratitude and happiness at that moment had infected me and made my stomach knotted and giggles that I can't seem to stop until all of us had left his house!
And I am amazed. Truly amazed that the present Sin Yan and Sylvia had came up with. I can feel their love and passion flowing through the decoration of Joe's room! And the ultimate present that money can't even buy, i.e. they published the best-selling book by Joe for Joe, especially with the thought of helping Joe to visualize the publishing his best-selling book in the near future! Wonderful and beautiful job girls!
To Joe, Thank you for your trust and friendship. And again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Are You Attracting Or Being Attracted?
"Am I attracting or being attracted?"
This is the question that caught my attention while watching The Secret fot the 5th time, even though this sentence/question does not even exist in the movie itself. I wonder if someone's been planting this seed of thought.
There's this part that says everything in this worlds is moving, constantly! So if I am not attracting or moving the events, experiences and things I want, other people are attracting me to do things or contributing to the advantage of what he/she wants. To illustrate my point, I share with you an example. Although I do not think of attractting bills, banks, credit card sales persons, telecom companies, etc. are attracting me to use their products and pay them. Got it?
Reflecting on the things that I have and value most, I actually attracted them without even realising it until The Secret had been revealed. And the universe give me exactly what I wanted. The Secret works!
So I made a decision at the end of the show to attract more than being attracted. And I can do this actively by simply writing down things I want through affirmations in my diary. The diary just takes in whatever I write and gives no judgement on what I write. The best part is it's confidential because it does not speak, unless someone reads it. But then I am responsible over my diary.
Do you have a diary yet? Go and get one and experience the change!

What Blogging Had Done To Me??!!
I started to post actively on my blog for the last week and I am totally hooked!
It's like a ritual for me to spend 1/2 hour reading my friends blog daily and then recall the wonderful moments or not so cool experience that had happened on that particular day that I would like my blog's readers to benefit and craft my postings. By reflecting on my experience, I am able to draw lessons from good/bad experience more objectively.
When I type, I usually just let my fingers tap the correct words from on the keyboard, just holding to the "magic" moment of the day...Once the title is written, my mind just wandered with ideas and keep my fingers busy. I guess this helps in practicing my left and right brain coordination? Hehe...
I also realised that I appreciate my time, experience and reflected more on myself. Being grateful and appreciative spreads to other habits that I have, for example I now eat slower and appreciate the taste of my food more. With my mind looking for experiences to share, I create empowering experiences so that I can share with my friends through my blog, daily. Like today, I have nothing to do and I just take out The Secret to watch so that I get more distinction and share it in my blog (you must read my next post on this...)
I actually take it as writing my diary. Yes, and my new habit includes keeping a diary beside my bed, to note down lesson(s) that I learnt that particular day at night and to write gratitute, affirmations and ideas in the morning.
All in all, I am very happy and blessed of this new habit. I thank my wife and SCG friends for creating such wonderful blogs that arouse my interest to join in the fun!
So what's your new habit that makes you happy?

My New Moto: Service Above Self
Service Above Self. This is a moto that I learnt from being the Secretary of Interact Club in Secondary 4. This is a great moto that give our club a vision to get out of our comfort zone to help the less fortunate. It helped the memebers to put in their heart to carry out charity tasks.
I have not really paid attention to this line until recently when helped out in the logistics in Money & You. I discovered that the moto gave me more energy, strength and enthusiasm to help the participants.
In this last few days I had decided to adopt this moto to my work and future works. So far so good. It had given me joy and satisfaction with what I do. At the minimum, it kick my lazy bum and contribute my knowledge to my friends. I started going the extra mile to meet, listening and exchange knowledge with them, which I am usually passive about.
I had spent my time with a friend who needed emotional support and I know with this moto and intention, I will not fail to help her. In fact I believed that I had somewhat lifted her spirit because when I met her to show her The Secret today, she actually take action on my advise I gave yesterday! It feels very good.
Previously in my engineering job, I had adopted the attitude of learning. "Learning" was my moto,therefore my outcome is that I learnt alot but was not satisfied with my own performance. I also feel a lack in myself in terms of leadership because more than often I do not get things done my way (like a student learning, the teacher always have the last say...), so the architects, supervisors and contractors get things done their way, and I felt the quality could be better. I was a whimp heh..But things are changing with my decision and improvement daily!!!
So what is your moto or mission statement?

Return To Innocence
My wife love this song so much that it's on her blog page. After my meeting with 2 friends whom I discuss and exchange our learning on books, audio tapes, website about spiritually frequently, I heard this song on CD on my way back and appreciate the lyrics.
I think that this song have a deeper meaning, even to the extend the part...(how do I describe) "Hai ya yai o ai yai ee ai..." (I think you'd know which part) also sounds like a chant of Sharman healer, to me. Haha.
So I decised to search the lyrics out and share with you this song/poem (to me).
Return to Innocence by Enigma.
Love = Devotion
Feelings = Emotion
Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence
If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence
That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence
Don't care what people say
Follow just your own way Follow just your own way
Don't give up, don't give up
To return, to return to innocence.
What feelings or meaning do you get out of this lyrics?

Hectic Weekend
TODAY was a hectic day.
It started off with a breakfast meeting with a friend. Nothing much, just lending my ears to listen out the challenges and confusion in life that she faces. Just to let her know that she has a neutral friend who does not judge and to feel safe to let things out. As I was listening to her story, I felt that it's best for her to watch The Secret. SO I made an appointment to meet her tomorrow evening to show her The Secret.
When the meeting was ending, my Mom called, asking for a lift. Sure, I thought, it's Mother's Day afterall. Fetched my parents from Amcorp Mall and headed home. My brother's watching Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift. I joined in to enjoy the fast cars, cinematography (did I spell this right?), babes and the music. Enjoyed the show except that the story line's a liitle shallow.
After the movie, me and brother go to buy some food for the Mother's Day gathering at Grandma's house. Enjoyed the vast variety of food - from home cooked otak-otak to KFC, Yong Tau Foo to satay. We even have Malay food. As I listen to the conversations of my auntie and uncle, suddenly I realised that they are all "coffee talk" which is of no importance. In any case, I am just glad to be there, at present with all of them.
After that I went home and watch the last match of English Premier League football. Quite exciting as the bottom clubs fight to get out of relegation from the Primier League.
Ended the day with this blog posting...So this is how I spent my Mother's Day, full of activities...
I am blessed and grateful to be with my family today and a friend who trust in me.
How did you spent your Mother's Day?

My Last Day
I have ended my service in EAP KL and I feel that there is so many possibilities opening up for me. I feel blessed and grateful to have this opportunity to start a branch in KL. To have one year of precious time with my family in KL...And foster a very strong relationsship with my wife, working together.
I am blessed and thankful to have met Jerome and Wendy.
This was the "magic" moment that I had experienced in the last 30 minutes in the office. The rest of the colleagues had left and only me, Jerome and Su is there. While Su was busy preparing her work for tomorrow's new program in KL, I was packing up my stuff. Suddenly Jerome asked to sit with him for awhile.
He started to tell me that there's no need to rush to clear the stuff and acknowledged me and Sylvia for helping to set up the office. He shared his problems and explained that it is tough in real world and business and sometimes he too feel the pressure and heat.He also shared that he constantly asked more of me so that I get out of comfort zone and grow to be a better person. He asked me what are my plans and aspirations. And that he wished Sylvia's business will be a success!
The discussion ended with a hug....1st time I got a hug from Jerome, initiated by him.
Well, I am just thankful that I had been his apprentice for a year and felt that I had learnt alot and ready to take up a new challenge.
I do not know if Jerome will be reading this blog. In any case, THANK YOU Jerome.

Specially For My Beloved Dear Dear...
I read my beloved wife's blog last week, and I wanted to post a comment for an article she wrote. I did not know how to publish the comment that time.
I guess I just post the reply in my blog. This way the reply will be more meaningful...
"Dear, reading your article about searching for your space and fly like an eagle reminds me of the song by John Denver. And I want you to know that I support you in your journey of entrepreneurship because I have faith in you, and that you will soar. Not only that, I also have faith in your partners because you guys have the same contextualization from M&Y, share a similar vision and share the same passion.
"So soar and fly as high as you want and rest assure that I will be there for you, for I will be the parachute behind your back.
"Play full out and participate 100%. I love you."

Teacher, Please Don't Kill My Creativity!
This posting is for you Bro!
After the great weekend, life is back to normal and things settled down a little. As usual I was supporting the preview yesterday night and in one of the session, the speaker asked "What are the obstacles that are stopping you from becoming an entrepreneur?"
One of the obstacles is "Fear of Failure" and the speaker was sharing that fear comes from conditioning. When we were young, when teacher asked a question, all the kids put up their hands and shout "Teacher! Teacher! Call me!"
And when the teacher calls you, and you gave the wrong answer, other kids laugh at you. Teacher will call you "Stupid!" and stuff like that.
This session remind me that my buddy asked me to share my similar story on blog and this was how it goes...
I was in Primary 4 and we were given assignment to read up on how was rain formed. I admit, I was lazy and did not read it...When the teacher asked "Who can explain how rain is formed?" and I was hoping that the teacher won't call me. Like I said Law of Attraction was so powerful, and the teacher called me to explain!
I remembered reading some of the material and I answered, "First the sun heat up the water from sea, lake and river and the water evaporate and raise up to the sky." (So far so good...)
"Then the water collect together and form clouds" (The teacher and the class was impressed but that's all I know...and my creativity kicks in!)
"And then when thunder strikes, the thunder hit the clouds and break the clouds. The clouds burst and down comes the rain!"
At this point the whole class laughed and I thought to myself "S**T!!!"
The teacher knew that I did not do the assignment and I stood outside the class for the rest of the period! Come to think of it it was funnnnnny but to the 10 year-old me, it was embarassing and felt like I had committed a very sinful crime.
It was not until Money & You that I attended 2 years ago that helped me alot with my self-esteem.
So to my teacher friends, "Please do not kill the creativity of children by punishing us."
Last but not least, I release the experience and forgive myself. I forgive my teacher. WOOOSSSHHH!!!
Have you any similar funny experience(s) that left you feel embarrassed? Just know that the teacher are doing their best to educate us and thats the only method that they know is effective...Forgive them and bless them.
After the great weekend, life is back to normal and things settled down a little. As usual I was supporting the preview yesterday night and in one of the session, the speaker asked "What are the obstacles that are stopping you from becoming an entrepreneur?"
One of the obstacles is "Fear of Failure" and the speaker was sharing that fear comes from conditioning. When we were young, when teacher asked a question, all the kids put up their hands and shout "Teacher! Teacher! Call me!"
And when the teacher calls you, and you gave the wrong answer, other kids laugh at you. Teacher will call you "Stupid!" and stuff like that.
This session remind me that my buddy asked me to share my similar story on blog and this was how it goes...
I was in Primary 4 and we were given assignment to read up on how was rain formed. I admit, I was lazy and did not read it...When the teacher asked "Who can explain how rain is formed?" and I was hoping that the teacher won't call me. Like I said Law of Attraction was so powerful, and the teacher called me to explain!
I remembered reading some of the material and I answered, "First the sun heat up the water from sea, lake and river and the water evaporate and raise up to the sky." (So far so good...)
"Then the water collect together and form clouds" (The teacher and the class was impressed but that's all I know...and my creativity kicks in!)
"And then when thunder strikes, the thunder hit the clouds and break the clouds. The clouds burst and down comes the rain!"
At this point the whole class laughed and I thought to myself "S**T!!!"

Ask & It Shall Be Given
WOW! This weekend surely cures my craving for fried chicken wings.
My new colleague in KL is a vegetarian, so lunch and dinner for the past 2 months has been very healthy. Then, I was thinking about my favourite chicken wing store in Boon Lay market on my way back to Singapore to organize an event over the weekend and I asked myself "Hmm...wouldn't it be nice to have supper at that store this weekend?"
And so I was having a great time organizing the events with close friends and it happened that my friend stays near Boon Lay market and I was to send her home after the event, which ended later than expected. Yes! My chance to eat Power! Nasi Lemak's chicken wing. I was thinking "Ask and it shall be given! Hehehe."
When we reach Boon Lay market, to our diamay, the queue was so loooooong! So the gang went on to other stall. I had forgotten to change SGD, so i went to draw SGD from the ATM nearby with my colleague. Then her light bulb lighted! She said we can just ask someone in the queue to buy for us since we are only buying chicken wings and it shouldn't take a long time. I replied "Good IDEA!"
I walked up to 2 ladies, 3rd in the queue and asked their help to buy 4 pcs of chicken wings...and they said "Why us? Will the queue behind mind?" (in Mandrin).
My reply to them was "I don't think the couple (who are Malays) behind us, having a good time chatting mind."
So we get our chicken wings! ASK & IT SHALL BE GIVEN!!!
The next morning, I have more chicken wings for breakfast because the banquet at the event served us Nasi Lemak with chicken wings! And it taste yummy as well!
Wow! This time I get more than I had asked for...I feel so grateful and abundance.
So, what have you asked for lately?

Control/Repeating Drama
HAVE you noticed in your life, a particular event that have similar situation and is tied to a similar outcome? I have read Celestine Prophecy and this situation is described as control drama and recently I have learnt from a respectable mentor about this as "Repeating Drama".
Control Drama repeats itself continuosly even without my knowing until I had gained some awareness through books and workshops that I had attended. I have identified about 4 Control Drama that are not supporting myself in further improving my life...I feel grateful and blessed to have gone through these dramas and have the awareness to identify them. I am also blessed that I have a mentor that asks more out of me, and so on my path to attain higher self-mastery.
I am grateful and blessed. I forgive myself and release these dramas...
Can you identify your repeating dramas?
