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.

Song Sharing Sunday - #43

Song Sharing Sunday Badge



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?

Why - 3t with Michael Jackson








Why does Monday come before Tuesday ?
Why do summers start in June ?
Why do winters come too soon ?
Why do people fall in love,
When they're always breaking up ?
Oh why ?
Why do we love if love will die ?
Why does Wednesday come after Tuesday ?
Why do flowers come in May ?
Why does springtime go away ?
Why do people fall in love,
When they're always breaking up ?
Oh why ?
Why do I love you ? Tell me why

It's not like I can't
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 ?
Why do summers start in June ?
Why do winters come too soon ?
Why do people fall in love
When they're always breaking up ?
Oh why ? (why ?)
Why do we love if love will die ?
Why does Wednesday come after Tuesday ?
Why do flowers come in May ?
Why does springtime go away ?
Why do people fall in love,
When they're always breaking up ?
(oh why ?, why ?)
Why do I love you ?
[ Find more Lyrics on www.mp3lyrics.org/asL ]
Tell me why

It's not like I can't escape what's in my soul
'Cause with you inside my heart,
Where can I go ?
I don't wanna see
No you without me
I can't go through life without you
Without you, there's no me

Why does Monday (does Monday)
come before Tuesday ? (before
Tuesday)
Why do summers start in June ?
Why do winters come too soon ?
Why do people fall in love
When they're always breaking up ?
Oh why ? (why, why, why ?)
Why do we love if love will die ? (why, why)

Why do the rivers flow to the sea ?
If rivers flow, why can't your love
flow through me, babe ?
Why does my heart, uuh, feel so missed ?
To be in love
To feel in love
Why don't I feel complete ?

Why does Monday (does Monday)
come before Tuesday ? (before
Tuesday)
Why do summers start in June ?
Why do winters come too soon ?
Why do people fall in love,
When they're always breaking up ?
Oh why ? (why ?),( why ?), (why ?)
Why do we love if love will die
? (will die, will die)
Why does Wednesday (does
Wednesday) come after Tuesday
? (after Tuesday)
Why do flowers come in May ?
Why does springtime go away ?
Why do people fall in love, (all the time)
When they're always breaking up ?
Oh why ? (why ?)
Why do I love you ? Tell me why

Tell me why ? (why ?)
Tell me why ?
Tell me why ? (why?)
Tell me why ?

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!

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

Song Sharing Sunday Badge



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.
