Everytime when I looked at the sofa at my house, i tend to lie on it. The softness actually contour to my body especially for my back. I feel so shiok and i can actually sleep in few seconds. The next moment, i was in a hyper-rush. i snatched my keys, picked my coins, wear my clothes, [...]

Entropy
Entropy is the measure of disorder in a system and the Second Law of Thermodynamics says that the entropy of the universe always increases. Orderly states with low entropy do not occur randomly and huge amount of time and energy has to be expended to decrease the entropy of a system. On the other hand, no effort [...]
Giving back to Society after I am rich?
“Aiyah, I will give back to society by donating money when I am a millionaire, or when I earn more money… or when I am financially free!” Are these comments common in your life, or have you said such comments before? Now, entertain this thought. “Can I give back to society NOW while at the [...]
Today is the best day of my life!
Do you jump up from your bed and say to yourself (or even shout to the world) “Today is the best day of my life!”? I caught myself thinking about that after TC – “Today is the best day of my life”? Or is it? When I was exposed to this concept, I was pretty [...]
Stories told through pictures
Beyond the northern ( Inner Mongolia ) frontier, spring has arrived but the Cold weather lingered on. Snow fell on this April morning. Flakes danced In the sky. A middle-aged man tended to his cart, on which sat a little Boy, wrapped up with blanket used to keep the vegetables from freezing. >From time to [...]
Comm-YOU-nication.
After putting some pressure on myself, I have recently resumed my reading habit once again, & here’s a small but very interesting tip i read from a book by L.Lowndes: Start every appropriate sentence with ‘you’!! It grabs your listeners’ attention immediately & gets a more positive response because it pushes the pride button and [...]
Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I wonder why, why do I have to do this? Sometimes I wonder why, why do I have to go through this? Sometimes I wonder why, why me? Perhaps… perhaps… it’s not about me but… the effect I have on others!
Past, Present and Future.
Hello everyone! I just came back from Aussie last night and each time I go, I never fail to bring back learnings and gain lotsa experiences! Let me share with you this personal story… . . A *relative of mine (not naming who) migrated to Sydney many years back and I only get to see [...]
Today is the choice that you have made yesterday, is the seed that you plants for tomorrow
A story worth telling… John is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, ‘If I were any better, I would be twins!’ He was a natural motivator. If an [...]
Asking ‘why?’
when things arent going your way, or when u have feelings of inadequacy, we always ask ourselves ‘why’? others also ask us ‘why’? e.g. 1. why doesnt anyone understand me? 2. why didnt my boss take notice of my suggestions? i recently read a book by D. Molden & P. Hutchinson, and they discouraged the [...]
Turbocharge
My first experience of the annual event of the Advocators was enjoyable. It was a great chance to get to know the students better and to reflect on my life. Watching the kids penning down their goals and dreams gave me tremendous joy while I indulged in reminiscence of the innocence I once had. I was given the chance to draw [...]
Just bloom
People like flowers for different reasons. Some for their beauty, some for the colour/texture/ smell, and some for the idea behind receiving flowers. I like flowers too. In fact, I love flowers! Aside the reasons above, I love flowers for the lesson that they teaches me. Ever wondered if a flower knew its purpose? I [...]
Turbocharge!
This is probably the 4/5th times I have attended TC. Nevertheless, every session allows me to learn something new. Especially the USF, dream boarding and the Power move. It spurs me on to pursue my goals in life. It again reminds me that DESIRE is very important in achieving your goals. How much do you want [...]
Pride.
As all of you may know, I am currently still having my reservice in the Navy. In fact, I am just back from a offshore deployment. Last week, I had the chance to visit our Singapore Navy’s latest addition, the Frigate! We had a ship visit on RSS Steadfast and was brought on a guided [...]
More than just a job
Honestly, never have I thought that I will end up in the education industry. Ever since young, I have been telling myself that I will NEVER become a teacher. Probably I don’t want to be terrorized by the kids like what we have done to our teacher as a student. Somehow, I started to tutor kids on a [...]
Hey, I am living!
Last week while doing my morning walk to a hill top near my house, I was listening to my mp3 and then pops out a soundtrack from a japanese drama called “One Litre of Tears“. I strongly suggest those who had not watched this to go online or do whatever it takes to watch this [...]
learning as i go.
ystdy was my 2nd time being part of TCK, sounds silly but even though i wasnt even doing any training, i was feeling abit stressed & tensed for the past few days. (yes, i can be stressed over the littlest things) although we did preparations & logistics here & there during the weekdays, somehow i [...]
The extra mile.
I was hit, bruised and battered all over last night in the TCK workshop while doing the part on gratitude with the kids. She’s probably the first student I taught since I’ve started in Advocators/Isun, thats because I saw how she has changed in her mindset over the 3 months. To protect her privacy, lets [...]
Life is Beautiful… (how much do we really KNOW this fact?)
Often we find ourselves caught up in situations where we are unhappy with. Like we may be wondering why are we working so hard for? Why do we have to study so much? We tend to complain and rant about life. (I admit I’m guilty of this too) Have it ever cross our mind that there are people who are [...]
