on monday, i was suddenly inspired to pen down 100 things that i want to do or want to have in life. other than just penning them down, you’re supposed to starting thinking of what to do to start making these 100 things happen or come true. i did a check on the net, they [...]

Playfish Cash
As some might know, I love to play Pet Society and Restaurant City on Facebook. I’m not considered an addict as I dont have time for that, but I play everyday while eating breakfast. (it’s my sole recreational activity, no joke) For Restaurant City, players run their own restaurant, serve customers, decorate their restaurant, upgrade [...]

Making someone feel very special
I remember reading from a book about the little simple ways you can make the people around you feel really special. One of it includes finding a hobby/interest/likes of a person on the first day of meeting, and then surprise that person by asking about that little ‘something’ a few weeks down the road. Different [...]
Checking off yet another dream off my 2010 Dreamboard
Yesterday, a few of us were at NG at night, & happened to talk about dreamboarding. Pey shared that she now has a mini cooper in her life, & how amazing it was, & how unexpected. I too, recently, got to check off yet another dream off my 2010 Dreamboard. The first surprise dreamboard item [...]
The Power of Praise
Finally a post from me after long hiatus. Just a little experience to share. I do not usually have a habit of praising my students with bombastic words, I only use “good!” or ”very good!”. last Friday during class, one of my students amazed me with his retention & application of one of my newly taught skills. I [...]
you
this morning, 830am, i was standing at amk mrt platform, in my cat tshirt, shorts & slippers, carrying my (new) backpack, waiting for the train for a 1hr journey to sch. there was still a slight drizzle, but the sun was up. i looked at the clear morning sky, and i smiled. i suddenly realised [...]
Planning your day
all of us r always encouraged to plan our days before starting it, some of us do, some of us dont. for those who do plan, we tend say its good to be done 1st thing in the morning, for e.g. one of my VGian buddy wrote ystdy: “the moment i wake up, i must [...]
how to ask for what u want + asking for feedback!
i am again reading Jack Canfield’s book at snail pace, & here is a little something to share, about Asking. Canfield mentioned that pple are often afraid to ask, as they’re afraid of hearing the word ‘no’, thereby rejecting themselves in advance even before anyone else has a chance to. he then shared some tips [...]
when i was your age.
reading a fellow coach’s post about homework & assignments made me think about a past incident more than 10 yrs back. although 10+ years is not THAT long ago, sometimes i feel that i cant remember much of my primary sch life, if any at all. yet i will always remember this, the threat from [...]

Quit Waiting
most pple are familiar with the phrase ‘ready, aim, fire!!’ the problem is that too many pple spend their whole life aiming & never firing. they’re always getting ready, getting it perfect. the quickest way to hit a target is to fire, see where the bullet landed, & then adjust ur aim accordingly. keep firing [...]
the yellow notebook
in the midst of reading Canfield’s book, i came across a very short section in which seemed to hit me right in the face. the irony is that the impact was actually just from a small, seemingly insignificant passing event. i shall share the front of the section as per written by the author, as [...]

thank u, for what?
one of our common values is Gratitude, but zero-ing down to the simplest expression of gratitude, how do we say ‘thank you’? thanks. oh thank you. ya, thanks. ok thanks. i recently read a short chap frm a book by Leil Lowndes, & she says we shld never let the phrase ‘thank you’ stand naked [...]
