Embracing what's important.

2010-04-23T08:03:00.000-07:00

"There will be an exchange that took place when you let go of what was in your hands."

How often do we go through life holding on to things that we think are important? Sometimes we can get so busy and have so much in our hands that we completely miss out on the new things right in front of us. We have to be willing to put something down in order to embrace something better.

Is there something you are holding on to today, something that you know you need to let go of to make room for what God is trying to do in your life?

Is your schedule overloaded?

Are you clinging to a relationship that you know is destructive?

Are your thoughts consumed with a situation from your past? You might even holding on to something good, but good things can also keep our hands too full to embrace God's very best.

The God Option

One thing is certain in life; change.

People change, fashion changes, technology changes, seasons change - that's why it's important to stay flexible and be willing to change in order to embrace new things God wants us to do in our lives. God wants us to look for new opportunities to enlarge our lives, expand our vision, and increase our influence. HE wants us to broaden our thinking so we can broaden our lives.

***

I wanna thank God because every time I exchange my decision with HIM, HE always make sure I'll get something better with maximum blessings!

Secrets of the Millionaire Mind book

2009-11-29T23:27:00.000-08:00

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to get rich easily, while others seem destined for a life of financial struggle? Is the difference found in their education, intelligence, skills, timing, work habits, contacts, luck, or their choice of jobs, businesses, or investments?

The shocking answer is: None of the above!

In this book, T. Harv Eker found out that if you think like rich people think, do what rich people do, you will more than likely, get rich too..!! There are 17 ways rich people think and act differently from poor & middle-class people. And I hate to tell you this, all of them are so true! OMG!!

#1 : Rich people play the money game to win. Poor people play the money game not to lose.

#2 : Rich people focus on opportunities. Poor people focus on obstacles.

#3 : Rich people choose to get paid based on results. Poor people choose to get paid based on time.

Well, that is some of the secrets lah... I highly recommend this book for everyone, I mean everyone... why? because it's important for us to identify the money programming inside our subconscious mind, that has determine our financial lives for so many years, holding back our faith in believing that God will make us the head not the tails... It's important to understand how that money programming will lead to our thoughts, thoughts lead to feelings, feelings lead to actions, actions lead to results. Believe me, this book is very interesting, lots of true stories, real-life examples, and the step-by-step how to become success and rich.

That's all for now...

See you at the top!!

It's time to change...

2009-11-26T22:54:00.000-08:00

Stay positive...

2009-05-13T01:36:00.000-07:00

Good and bad things happen everyday. Let it enter your life, no problem...

Negative thinking is allowed to neutralize your mind and desire, but don't let it control your decisions.

Stay positive.

This is important.

Remember, there's always an explanation behind everything...

Think positive.

"God will make a way,
Where there seems to be no way..."
(Don Moen)

If we think we still can find a way, God's power will not manifest.

That's why God love to do things that out of our mind, out of this world, beyond our dreams & imagination, He make all things possible...

And when there seems to be no way, God will surely make a new way...

Trust HIM.

Badai Berlalu...

2009-02-14T04:33:00.000-08:00

From the album : Stand Out
by Giving My Best

Tak s'lalu Kau janjikan pelangi kan menghiasi hidup yang damai di bumi
Tak s'lalu Kau janjikan di hati, jawaban pasti saat ku doa menanti...

Kau besertaku, badai berlalu.. taklukkan g'lombang hidupku
Genggam erat tanganku selalu jangan pernah Kau lepaskan
Sertaiku...
Selamanya...

Di kala arti hidup ku cari, ku menyesali kesalahan yang terjadi
Tetapi s'lalu Kau memahami dan Kau berjanji membuat hidupku berarti...

Tak lagi ku cari jawaban hidup yang lain...

Biar betul..?!?

Kalau ekonomi punya pasal.. tak payah cerita laa... kononnya semakin meleset, tapi semakin laku shopping mall..

Yesterday night, Wel was performing with Tony for the "Konsert Unplugged - Bebaskan Palestin" at RTM Angkasapuri. Maybe some of you don't know.. that the show was actually on air.. live at TV2, at 9 pm. Well, I wanted to go to the RTM Studio (ada free ticket bah..) to show support laa kunun... but no choice, terpaksalah watching it from home with my family...

You know what.. Wel and I, we were always talking & dreaming about playing music for TV show, Talk show, Live performance.. to be on national TV... wow, it would be an invaluable experience... priceless..!! I'm glad now that his dream came true. I'm proud for him. I thank God that He has open doors for him to be in the industry. Wel had taken the first step. Now God had led him to the 2nd step. I believe God has plan... it will not end here... after this, my turn pula... hahaha... promo diri sendiri.. aduhai..

When I watched Wel on the TV, I just can't believe my eyes... it's like... Oh my goodness..!! Wel masuk TV..!!! Fuyoh...!!

So, my advice, when you get the opportunity, just go for it. Live life to the fullest..

Ok la... I'm done with him. Now I want to go practice... heh..

Water or Coke..?!?

2008-10-19T22:27:00.000-07:00

WATER...

#1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
(Likely applies to half the world population)

#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak
that it is mistaken for hunger.

#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as 3%.

#4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs
for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of
Washington study.

#5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

#6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of
water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain
for up to 80% of sufferers.

#7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term
memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on
the computer screen or on a ! printed page.

#8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of
colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast
cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop
bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water
you should drink every day?

COKE...

#1. In many states the highway patrol carries
two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from
the highway after a car accident.

#2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke
and it will be gone in two days.

#3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the
toilet bowl and let the 'real thing' sit for one hour,
then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes
stains from vitreous China .

#4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers:
Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds
Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

#5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour
a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble
away the corrosion.

#6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola
to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

#7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into
the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake.
Thirty minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix
with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

#8... To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke
into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run
through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen
grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your
windshield.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

#1. the active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid.
It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric
acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major
contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.

#2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the
commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place
cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

#3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean
engines of the trucks for about 20 years!

Now the question is, would you like a glass of Water..?

or Coke..?

p/s: Oh no..!! I love coke... huhuhu......

Fruit juices can block drug absorption.

2008-09-22T21:34:00.000-07:00

GRAPEFRUIT, orange and apple juices can harm the body’s ability to absorb certain medications and make the drugs less effective, said a Canadian study released in the United States.

The research showed that these juices can decrease the effectiveness of certain drugs used to treat heart disease, cancer, organ-transplant rejection and infection.

David Bailey, a professor of clinical pharmacology with the University of Western Ontario and leader of the study, was the first researcher to identify grapefruit juice’s potential to increase the absorption of certain drugs two decades ago, possibly turning some doses toxic.

The new findings came as part of his continuing research on the subject, and were presented at the 236th annual meeting of the American Chemical Society of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

"Recently, we discovered that these fruit juices substantially decrease the oral absorption of certain drugs undergoing intestinal uptake transport," said Bailey.

"The concern is loss of benefit of medications essential for the treatment of serious medical conditions."

Healthy volunteers took fexofenadine, an antihistamine used to fight allergies, along with either a glass of grapefruit juice, a glass of water with naringin (which gives the bitter taste to grapefruit juice), or plain water.

Those who drank the grapefruit juice absorbed only half the amount of fexofenadine, compared to those who drank plain water. Researchers said the water with naringin served to block "a key drug uptake transporter, called OATP1A2, involved in shuttling drugs from the small intestine to the bloodstream".

Among the drugs affected by consumption of these juices are: etoposide, an anticancer agent; beta blockers (atenolol, celiprolol, talinolol) used to treat high blood pressure and prevent heart attacks; and certain antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, itraconazole).

The drug-lowering interaction also affected cyclosporine, a drug taken to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, and more drugs were expected to be added to the list as the research continued.

Bailey said patients should consult with a doctor about taking medications with juice, and stick to plain water when taking most medications. – Reuters

Let's talk about relationship...

2008-08-28T03:22:00.000-07:00

To whom it may concern,

I would like to share a humble advice about relationship... Some of you might already heard this but, consider it as a reminder laa ok..

"Don't marry someone you can live with, but someone you can't live without."

You see... I'm not an expert or a Love Guru or anything related to that, but please laa... you all have to agree with me, don't you?

Some people would say that "I am happy with this man or that girl.. and bla.. bla.. we have certain things in common..." alah... most of you like that right..?!

It's easy to find things you like or dislike about a person, but no one can explain how hard it is to imagine to live without someone you really really love... No matter if you'd done bad or good, big sin or small sin, if he/she loves you, you should be forgiven... if you end-up with a long term argument (with a flashback preview) , I can tell you it's not healthy..

uuh.. it's hard to understand actually... you need to experience it yourself.. People do make mistake, made wrong choices... but that's how we grow.. It will determine what you are going to be in future..

Well, what I'm trying to say here is, be careful... Don't try to find yourself in other people's life.. If you regret, don't turn back... there's no turning back. Life must goes on. Improve to a better life. What you need to do is, let other people's life to enter in your world. Reject bad influences, keep all the good memories. When the time comes, you just knew that you can't live without him/her.

When someone admires you, be careful too...

Bringing Up Children: Making The Right Choices.
by Anna Tham (The Sun)

I HAD a casual chat with the father of my daughter’s classmate one day and learned that like most families, both he and his wife work and leave their children in the care of maids. They hired two – one to care for the children and the other for housekeeping. One parent sends them to school in the morning and a hired driver fetches them home.

Due to the many horror stories about foreign maids abusing children, they had equipped their house with cameras to monitor the home while they are at work.

This scenario is very common in Malaysian homes. Gone are the days when the father is the sole breadwinner while the mother stays home to tend to the family’s needs.

Children’s needs then were far more basic. They went to school, came home, and did their homework. They played with the neighbours’ children with hardly any threat of being kidnapped, raped or murdered.

At least, that was the childhood I remember having.

Children these days, especially those living in the city, have their schedules packed to the brim with tuition classes for every subject, extra-curricular activities and enrichment classes like languages, music, mental arithmetic, tennis, golf, gymnastics, art, dance, yoga – and the list goes on.

These classes are good for their overall development provided they are interested in them and if it is required to help them keep up with lessons.

But how much is enough for a child to grow without being too stressed?

With all these activities going on in the life of the modern-day child, who would be responsible for ensuring that he gets where he needs to go safely, and that he is properly guided at home where revision of lessons is concerned?

Both parents are at work literally from dawn to dusk and probably have just enough time to have dinner with them and kiss them goodnight.

Some families have grandparents who are able to help out but not everyone is that fortunate. They have no choice but to leave their children in the care of strangers like maids, drivers, and day-care minders.

My daughter has been blessed the past few years with having me at her disposal 24/7, so to speak. I am around to care for her at home and drive her to and from school and all her extra-curricular enrichment activities.

It was a matter of what is more important to us when we considered giving up a dual-income lifestyle. This is a crossroad all couples face once they have children.

One option, which is becoming more popular, is for one parent, or even both, to work from home, by owning a business, freelancing, offering niche services or taking on flexible or part-time jobs.

Whatever the choice, there will be sacrifices to be made and rewards to be reaped. It is a matter of knowing what suits your family best and what makes all of you happiest.

After all, we only have one lifetime and we must make the most of it.

My first son, Isaiah, is going to start kindergarden school early next year... (o oh..!)
