Christmas Decorations 2009

While Allan was driving along Orchard Road, I was filming away....
Though I had to admit that the 'older' Christmas decorations were so much nicer, I love the different coloured theme this year, for different stretch along Orchard Road.

Good Things are worth sharing!
My sis recommended Adam Lambert's (I still like him lots) new song.
From the 2012 Movie, here it is, enjoy....

Every Song reminds me of a person, an event, a place, a smell, a taste....a secret, do you have a song to share today?


Time For Miracles - Adam Lambert




It's late at night and I can't sleep
Missing you just runs too deep
Oh I can't breathe thinking of your smile

Every kiss I can't forget
This aching heart ain't broken yet
Oh God I wish I could make you see
Cuz I know this flame isn't dying
So nothing can stop me from trying

Baby you know that
Maybe it's time for miracles
Cuz I ain't giving up on love
You know that
Maybe it's time for miracles
Cuz I ain't giving up on love
No I ain't giving up on us

I just wanna be with you
Cuz living is so hard to do
When all I know is trapped inside your eyes

The future I cannot forget
This aching heart ain't broken yet
Oh God I wish I could make you see
Cuz I know this flame isn't dying
So nothing can stop me from trying

Baby you know that
Maybe it's time for miracles
Cuz I ain't giving up on love
You know that
Maybe it's time for miracles
Cuz I ain't giving up on love
No I ain't giving up on us

Baby can you feel it (feel it)
You know I can hear it (hear it)
So can you feel me feel you....

You know it's time....

Baby you know that
Maybe it's time for miracles
Cuz I ain't giving up on love
You know that
Maybe it's time for miracles
Cuz I ain't giving up on love

You know I ain't giving up on us
You know I ain't giving up on
Oh I ain't giving up on us

Quiz 7

There were 3 men standing in a single row.
The shortest was in front.
The tallest was the last.

The shortest can see no one.
The middle can see the back of the shortest head only.
The tallest can see the back of the shortest as well as the middle's head.

Then, All 3 were blind folded.
They were told that there are 4 hats.
2 black and 2 white.

'Someone' placed a hat on each of the men's head while they are STILL BLIND-FOLDED.
The fourth (extra) hat was thrown out of the room.

Here comes the question:
The blind-fold was removed.
None of them were allowed to move ANY PARTS OF THEIR BODY.
The man who could tell what's the colour of the hat which is on HIS OWN HEAD, may leave the room.

The man in the middle was the ONLY one who said the colour of his own hat correctly and left the room.
Why was it him?

Black Pepper Crab

Ever since we tried the Pepper Crab at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant (read post here), the 'chief' in Allan started to act up again.

Just like I had mentioned in the Baked Cheese Potato post, when he is in love with a dish in a restaurant, he would try to figure out the ingredients and start his experiments in the kitchen.

This is his 4th attempt with Pepper Crab. Have NOT failed once! Awesome! I think his countless experience from cooking Chili Crabs gave him an upper hand with this dish.

The only adjustment needed every now and then depends on the size of the crab. Some are really huge, like this Pepper Crab dinner we had last week. The Claw was longer than my hand! *faint*

When the size is this big, a longer cooking time is definitely needed to make sure that the meat is fully cooked. Never want to eat medium-raw crab meat, ya? *wink*

This was the BIGGEST crab we had ever bought at the CHEAPEST price too. What a bargain! Usually we would have crabby-dinners when we have something to celebrate. We did not intend to eat crab that night, but after seeing the size and the price, we just had to 'force' ourselves to find a reason to celebrate! *laugh*

Memories from MMI

Yippee!
Managed to grab some 'professional' photographs taken during the 3 days.
Aaaaaawwww.....
these are great moments:

My Handsome Mentor > T. Harv Eker

One of Harv's 'Best Men'

We Sang....

We Shared....

We Massaged Each Other....

We Hi-Fived....

We Danced.....

The 5000 over Voices.....

Our Group's Celebration.....
Allan was our Group Leader. *wink*
(I think I look like a GoldFish with that big goggles on. *giggle*)

Photos are great reminders of wonderful memories....
Yet the lessons learned on this seminar will 'live out' in my life for as long as I live....

Have a 'Kaching' Weekend, Everyone!!!

Quiz - 6

There is a family on one side of the river.

1. Father
2. Mother
3. Son
4. Daughter
5. Maid
6. Dog

They need to get to the other side of the river.

Only 1 small boat is available to bring them across.
The boat is big enough for only 2 people OR 1 person + dog.

Here's the tricky part:

• Only Father, Mother and Maid knows how to row the boat.

At all times,

• Father cannot be alone with the Son, without the Mother, or else he will hit the Son.

• Mother cannot be alone with the Daughter, without the Father, or else she will slap the Daughter
  

(ok, I know this is an extreme family, which I don't wish to know if they do exist. *Huge Laugh*)

• Maid MUST be with the Dog, or else the Dog will bite anyone in sight.

(ok, even the dog is pretty insane. *giggle*)

So how can the family of 6 get across the river, without getting hit, slapped or bitten?

Have Fun!!!
*Grin*

Gone For Good!

Everyone has files in their head.
Some are often looked into, some are hardly flipped.

These files determine our daily decisions. We call them blueprint.

Blueprint is registered in our head through hearing, seeing and experiencing.

As I had mentioned in my previous post, my biggest reward is the removal of a stinky, moldy blueprint of mine.

For those of you who knew me from my very first blog > All About Your Child, would be very familiar with my strain relationship with my mother.
For those of you who don't, you can read 'My Story' or 'The highly commented Post'.

Having to find money for my mother was such a common 'chore', yet there was this ONE incident which I did not know was my stumbling block to achieving great wealth.

This happened when I was 13/14 years old....
My parents just had one of the biggest fight ever the night before, all because my mother has just hit her new all time high debt amount (then). Loansharks came and shamed my family.... Blah blah blah....

The next day, I could not concentrate in class. Tears just kept dripping down my cheeks the whole time. My English teacher, Miss T., requested to speak with me after school ended.
I told her nothing.
She persisted.
I could hold my tears no more.
I cried so hard, started to choke on my tears....
I let it all out....

"My mother borrowed money from the loansharks and my father is extremely unhappy with her. They had a terrible fight last night. He threatened to chase her out of the house if the money is not returned fast."

"How much is it?"

"$4,000"

"Ok. Don't worry. You take care. Don't think too much about it. Keep praying."

The next day after school, Miss T. wanted to see me again....

Passing me a thick envelope... "Here, take it. Its for you."

I opened it and saw $4,000 inside!!!!!
I had NEVER held so much money in my hands before.
They shook like crazy!!!
I pushed it back to her and said, "No, Miss T.. This is yours. We will find a way."

"No! I want you to have it. I don't want you to return. Its a gift for you. Exams are coming. I don't want to see you being affected by such things. Take! Give to your mother and settle the problem, so that everyone will have a piece of mind."

I was young.
Desperate.
Lost.
I took it
and ran home,
fearing that I may be robbed.

I handed my mother the money.
She was shocked.

I thought she was going to thank my teacher or me...
Instead she said, "Its NOT ENOUGH!"

*faint*

"How come?! You said $4,000!!" I snapped.

"I lied. I dare not tell your father the real amount. I fear that he would beat the hell out of me."

"So how much is IT??!!!" I almost wanted to slap her....

"$8,000." She confessed.

*faint*

My head was spinning like crazy.
Thousands of thoughts hit me all at once.
What am I going to tell Miss T.?
How am I going to find another $4,000?
Since, its not enough, I might as well return this $4,000 to Miss T.
Yet, paying half is better than not paying at all.
What will Papa say when he found out that its $8,000?
How?
What should I do now?
What's gonna happen?
............

It was during the last day of MMI, did I realise that THIS incident, which happened almost 2 decades ago, had been killing my financial health.....

Here's the explanation:

Because of this incident,
I am ashamed to face my teacher everyday.
I felt a sense of guilt towards her.
I felt indebted to her.
Because of this incident,
I disliked my mother even more.
I pitied myself for having a liar as a mother.
I blame the world for giving me a gambler as a mother.

Hence, in my money blueprint, the equation goes like this:
MONEY = Shame, Guilt, Indebted, Resentment, Pity, Lies, Injustice.

Thus, subconsciously, I would try to 'get rid' of my money through spending or literally giving away, so as NOT to be acquainted with shame, guilt, indebted, resentment, pity, lies and injustice.

Towards the end of the seminar, we did an exercise which COMPLETELY exorcised these unsupportive financial blueprints out of my mind.

The most beautiful part is, I had truly forgave my mother...

All these years, I blame her for giving me a bad childhood.
Which in fact, it was ME giving myself a bad childhood.

Nothing has meaning, except the meaning I give it. ~ T. Harv Eker

In life, EVERYTHING, is neutral; because there is ALWAYS 2 sides to a coin, a paper, a plank.
Its all a matter of which side are you looking at?

When one can TRULY bring himself or herself to see from the other person's point of view.
The world become a totally different place.
Neither side is right OR wrong.
Its just a difference of strong opinions....

Last weekend's MMI, I learned that MANY of my thoughts or belief systems actually BELONGED TO OTHERS. They are not necessarily mine. Because of what others say, do or experienced, does not mean I should be affected by it.

We have the power to CHOOSE to disassociate with them.
Its all a matter of choice.

*Grin*
Once the exercise was done, I felt as light as a feather.
Completely free from burden, from hatred, from shame.....
*Grin*

Thank you Harv....
Thank you....

Millionaire Mind Intensive - Rewards

2 months ago, I had the most Outstanding Life Changing Seminar (yet) > Anthony Robbins's Unleash the Power Within.

Last weekend, I had the most Amazing Financial Life Changing Seminar > Millionaire Mind Intensive.

As promised to the man, T. Harv Eker, who changed my financial life 3 years ago, details of the Millionaire Mind Intensive will not be revealed.
Reason is simple, its an experience of a lifetime!
Which ANYONE should be there to experience and not be heard or read.

I have 4 tickets for NEXT Millionaire Mind Intensive in November 2010.
Come,
join me,
next year,
will you?

Yes, I am going again next year.
Some cannot understand why would anyone want to 'repeat' a seminar which they had attended before?
You see, Harv, is a Multi x100 Millionaire.
Yet, his secret to achieving that status is so Simple and Straight Forward, no one can give an excuse to say they do not understand.
Most importantly, his steps WORK and show RESULTS!

So next year, I will be there to do my checklist....

Irregardless how many times a person attended the same seminar, the person's mind is of a different level from the previous, hence, the person learn different things at each seminar.

Just like Allan, he went last year, but he was dying to attend again this year because he cannot wait to learn new things which would help to 'level up' his financial knowledge.
People grow only when new things are learned, isn't it?
*wink*

Though details will not be shared, my rewards from the seminar are too WONDERFUL to keep to myself....

1. I came to know many new like-minded (in terms of financial) friends from all over the world. Exchanged emails, phone numbers, Facebook...blah blah blah...
2. I truly felt how much I meant to Allan, when he shout it out in public, that marrying me was one of his GREATEST successes in life.
3. I bought Harv's New Book > 'SpeedWealth' Simple yet Effective (Just like the author) guidebook to making ANY business a success.
4. I signed up for another EXTREME seminar next year, called 'Never Work Again'. Just like the name suggested. It will be a seminar which will reveal some of the latest and most powerful passive income tools which can allow me to live a financially free lifestyle. Work only because I choose to and NOT because I have to. *wink*
5. Last, but not least, Harv helped me to dig out what exactly has been stopping me from earning more than my ability. It was an Old Old 'File' in my mind. It was deadly. And he helped me removed it COMPLETELY. Whoo-hoo!
   

This last reward is something really personal.
Nobody knew about it except my parents and my sis.
Something which I had never shared on this blog before.
In fact, the details were also not shared over at my very first blog (All About Your Child) before too.

But I will....
in my next post.....

*wink*

Have a Splendid Day Everyone!!!

I Wanna Be Rich - Calloway

I'm off to exterminate my Poor Man's mindset
and
claim my Millionaire Mind now...
Whoo-hoo!

Have A *Kaching* Weekend, Everyone!!!!
*wink*

Quiz - 5

Ok, Quiz for this week is Super Easy....

There are 7 apples.
6 of them weighed the same.
Only one of them is lighter in weight.

You have a beam balance, which you can use only twice.
How are you able to find out which apple is the lighter?

To make it more challenging.... (I'm evil *snicker*)
There are 2 different ways to find out the answer.
Give me BOTH ways.
*giggle*

Nobody-Wondergirls (H1N1 version)

Ok, I shared the Super Infectious Song 'Nobody' from Wondergirls 2 weeks ago on my weekly meme Song Sharing Sunday.

Today I 'die die got to' (Singlish way of saying 'Must') post this super cute version of the song.
Though super funny, but the message is IMPORTANT alright?!
Yes, the lyrics are different now, but the song remains infectious boy!
In fact, my boys prefer this version now!!!!
*huge laugh*

I'm adding 'Singlish' in this post because the song is soooooo Singlish....
*huge laugh*

Fellow Singaporeans --- ENJOY!
Non-Singaporeans --- Free to ask questions ok?! Always willing to answer!
*wink*

'My Love' Took Flight

One of my 'OLDEST' FRIEND OF ALL TIMES was in Brisbane last week for a job assignment.

Me,
being a big fan of Macadamia Nuts Chocolate,
grabbed the chance and 'forced' her to buy one packet for me.
Nothing can beat Australia's Macadamia Nuts Chocolate... its THE Best!!!

My 20 years long time friend was too kind to reject the demanding me and flew this packet back with her.

Oh YUM!
It was Delicious!!!!

*giggle* It was not easy to get this pack though... because it had to 'meet' my 'tough' requirements... *giggle*

• Must last me for at least a month (taking ONE a day).
• Must contain a whole Macadamia nut and not bits of it.
• Must not cost more than AUD$20.
• Must not be Cadbury or other common brands which are available in Singapore.

*Laugh*

I think ONLY such 'old' friends would go to such extend, to obey such 'nonsense' in order to fly my love on a plane across the oceans...
*laugh*

Thank you P.S. !!!
Love it!
*Muack*

Millionaire Mind Intensive

Previously I was still thinking of going for the 2nd day of the Millionaire Mind Intensive after my boy's graduation ceremony ends at 4.30pm. Since the Seminar ends around 11pm, I would be able to catch another 6+ hours of powerful conditioning from T. Harv Eker.


Now, it has been confirmed that this wish had to be aborted.

My eldest niece would be celebrating her birthday that evening. So right after my boy's Preschool Graduation Ceremony, we had to head straight down to her party.

I know the importance of the 2nd day because Allan attended it last year. So I am feeling rather disappointed. I may not absorb as much as I could have on my third day, because they are progressive.

Still, disappointment does not overrule my wish to be with loved ones. So it was a natural choice of mine to go for the double celebration on this Saturday.

To me,
people are vulnerable.
people's life are unpredictable.
anyone,
young AND old,
could just disappear from this earth anytime.
So time spent with people whom I love is priority over all else.

A friend of mine died when she was 10years old during playtime.
It was a silly mistake.
And an irreversible one too.
At the age of 8,
I witnessed death of a young person.
Hence,
(since then) I told myself,
whenever I have a chance to meet up with people whom I treasure, I would go.

As for MMI, its a yearly seminar held by Peak Potentials.
They had done it in small Singapore for a couple of times already, so the chances of them coming back is quite slim.
Who knows, I may just buy a ticket and fly over to US to attend it all over again next year.
*wink*

Why - 3t with Michael Jackson








Why does Monday come before Tuesday ?

explain what's in my heart
It's just I feel a crazy pain when we're apart
I don't wanna breathe
I don't wanna think
I don't wanna love
I don't wanna do anything

It's not like I can't describe what's going on
It's just I feel I'm not alive
when you're not home
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna dream
I just want you here beside me
Without you there's no me

Why does Monday come before Tuesday ?

Stress-Relieve Food

Saw this article over here...
Below is just an extract from the main..

Spinach

Three cups of spinach supply 40 percent of your daily magnesium, a mineral that blunts stress's effects on the body by stopping blood pressure from spiking.....

Stress Rx: Stuff fresh spinach into omelets and sandwiches to nix tension while you're on the party circuit.

Oranges

......vitamin C in citrus bolsters your body's natural bug barricades, so you can stay well.

Stress Rx Having your whole family over for brunch? Pour OJ.

Chocolate

This treat's pacifying powers are all in your head. "Cocoa boosts your body's levels of neurochemicals, which act on parts of the brain to help produce a sense of happiness and relaxation.....

Stress Rx: Drop some dark-chocolate squares in everyone's stocking, including your own!

(*** So now you know my secret of staying happy... *huge laugh*.... its my daily must have...)

Fish

Omega-3 fatty acids in fish such as salmon and tuna can help quell anxiety. Test takers who consumed more of the healthy fats for three weeks halted a surge in stress hormones when they were faced with a tough quiz.....

Stress Rx: Increase your omega-3 intake: Reach for smoked-salmon canapés from the appetizer tray.

Oatmeal

Spoon up serenity! The B vitamins in oats stimulate production of serotonin, a key neurotransmitter that sends soothing signals to your brain......

Stress Rx: Have a bowl of oatmeal as a preshopping meal.

Healthy Drinks

Ever since my drastic change in my life-style, what I used to love, I want no more of them.
And now, I had found a new love for these:

The one on the right is Wheatgrass juice and the other is Blueberry.
I eat Wheatgrass too.
The goodness of Wheatgrass to our body is so plentiful, I just can't get my hands off those long thin green leaves.

Just to name a few of its goodness here:

• Wheatgrass, like all other green vegetables contain Chlorophyll, which is lowest-calorie, lowest-sugar and most nutrient-rich foods on the earth. Chlorophyll reduces the binding of carcinogens to DNA in the liver and other organs.
  
• Wheatgrass contains high amount of Vitamin A (bone growth, eyesight and reproduction); Vitamin B (brain + body development, adrenal glands and the nervous + digestive systems); Vitamin C (skin, teeth, gums, eyes, muscles and joints); Vitamin E (heart and reproductive systems)
• there are more than 102 minerals in soil and Wheatgrass absorbe 92 of them: Calcium (bones, teeth, heart, blood PH), Iron (red blood cells formation, transport of oxygen), Sodum (digestion, eliminate and regulate body fluids), Potassium (balances body, tones muscles, firms skin), Magnesium (muscle function)......and more
• Wheatgrass contains 17 amino acids and 8 of which, our body cannot manufacture by itself.
• Wheatgrass contains lots of enzymes.
• Wheatgrass stimulates peristalsis and supports thyroid functioning.

As for the other bottle, it was chosen by my boys. The taste of Blueberry reminded them or Ribena and they loved it instantly after testing it at the stall. Blueberries are GREAT for eyes, something which they really need when they have a daddy who is so into internet games and they are always 'supporting' him on his left and right.... *wink*

Quiz - 4

There are 10 stacks of coins.
Each stack is made up of 10 coins.
All coins looked EXACTLY the same.
Out of the 10 stacks, one stack of coins is made up of 0.1g lighter coins as compared to the other coins in those 9 stacks.

In another words, Each Coin in Those 9 Stacks weighed 1g...
But Each Coin in that 10th Stack weighed 0.9g
You have an electronic weighing machine which you can use only ONCE.

How are you able to know which stack is the stack which consists of the lighter coins? (i.e. the stack which is made up of the 0.9g coins)

*** Updated on 5th November 2009 @ 11.37pm:
EVERYONE gave me the same WRONG answer.
So let me clarify it here.
Once you put the coins ON the weighing machine, you CANNOT touch the coins anymore and IMMEDIATELY will know the answer.
*wink*

Think again!

Phobias... You have any?

Addiction

Anything that is BIGGER than what your emotions can control is an addiction.
Be it an addiction to tearing at dramas,
addiction to drinking,
addiction to munching infront of the TV,
addiction to gambling,
addiction to complaining....etc

Anything which you ALLOW it to control you, is an addiction. No matter how much you complain about it, you still continue to do it. THAT is an addiction. Something that you know is NOT good for you (if not you won't be complaining), but you just let it lead you by the nose. That is an ADDICTION.

For the past 2 weeks.
I had a STRANGE addiction.
I call it strange because I am NOT a GAME person, yet I was addicted to this:

Bejeweled Blitz.

It took me away from blogging.
It took me away from visiting my readers' blogs.
It took me away from earning more money.
It took me away from time with the children.
It took me away from my precious sleep.
I remember playing it till 3am on a certain day!!!

Note, the keyword is 'WAS addicted'.

I am free from it now.
In fact, a little disgusted.

I guess the only way to pull one OUT of an addiction, is to be totally disgusted with the thing.
How?
Why?
I found out that my scores would be deleted on Every Tuesday.
I went "What???!!!!"

Imagine my effort, my time and my 'fame' could last for a week only??!
Worse, imagine if my high score was on Monday.
It only lasted for ONE day!!!!
*faint*

So off it goes!
Out of my mind, my heart, my soul....
Shooo...

I was addicted to chocolates at first, till I found the benefits it provides, I no longer call it an addiction. I call it my Daily Dose of Happiness. Cos' indeed, Dark Chocolate has such powers. *wink*

And it doesn't add on to your weight. The country which produces the MOST chocolates in the world, has one of the LOWEST obesity rate and that is if you eat Only 1-2 pieces a day.... not a box a day, mind you! *giggle*

Song Sharing Sunday - #42

<a target="_blank" href="http://allaboutyourchild.blogspot.com/search/label/Song%20Sharing%20Sunday"><img border="0" width="125" alt="Song Sharing Sharing Badge" src="http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x169/TammyDuplessie/SongSharingSundayBadge.jpg" height="125" /></a>

Every Song reminds me of a person, an event, a place, a smell, a taste....a secret, do you have a song to share today?

I MUST POST THIS UP!!
The MTV 'story' is simply hilarious (make sure you watch till the end)!

My sis and my boys had been clicking the 'replay' button for the entire morning on that very faithful day.... the song just sticks in one's head!
Beware, you have been warned!

Tomorrow is my elder boy's birthday, so its only fair that I dedicate this song to him. A Song which he MUST listen to daily, for the past week. He even knows how to sing the man's Korean Song and Dance like Him too! *faint*
Happy Birthday Keatkeat!

Nobody - Wondergirls




You Know I still Love You Baby.
And it will never change. (Saranghae)

I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody

Why are you trying to, to make me leave ya
I know what you're thinking
Baby why aren't you listening
How can I just
Just love someone else and
Forget you completely
When I know you still love me

Telling me you're not good enough
My life with you is just too tough
You know it's not right so
Just stop and come back boy
How can this be
When we were meant to be

I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody

I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody

Why can't we just, just be like this
Cause it's you that I need and nothing else until the end
Who else can ever make me feel the way I
I feel when I'm with you, no one will ever do

Telling me you're not good enough
My life with you is just too tough
You know me enough so
You know what I need boy
Right next to you is where I need to be.

I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody

I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody

I don't want no body, body
I don't want no body, body

Honey you know it's you that I want, it's you that I need
Why can't you see~

I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody

Back to the days when we were so young and wild and free
Nothing else matters other than you and me
So tell me why can't it be
Please let me live my life my way
Why do you push me away
I don't want nobody nobody nobody nobody but you.

(Mr Linky has been giving me problem. Hence I've decided to strip it completely)
