What makes me HAPPY. – A simple text from friends/boyfriend. (Because I was remembered by someone like early in the morning!) . – When Murphy (my beloved Pekingese) stands and leans against my bed, sniffs at my face and makes all sort of irritating noises forcing me to wake up. . – My breakfast is [...]

The Magic of Selfwalking…
Busy busy… Hurry hurry… Do you have sometimes have the feeling that life is running you and it seems to consume you in both your energy and spirit. Recently, I had been busy with lessons after lessons, meetings after meetings. Therefore, at times, I really felt I am just running into a routine. Do I [...]
GIVING..
When you are left with $10 bucks, what would you do with it? a) save it… (like real..) b) spend it on food.. (sound’s good) c) give it away.. (that’s what i do recently) Givers get. How many of you actually believe in that? i have seen so many people talked about how much they [...]
Will DISSONANCE leads to change in results?
Students like to tease me for my height and my english pronunication. I’m neither angry nor embarrased so I just laugh along with them. First, its because I have come to terms with it that I’m short and I like who I am. Second, I agree that my command of english is not that proficient and I [...]
Just for Laughs
Relax! Enjoy the wonderful cover versions of familiar pop songs by a local group! (*understanding of dialect may be necessary)
Procrastination.
I’ve never enjoyed blogging short entries not because I’m a long winded person (naturally, most women are…), but I just prefer blogging my heart out. Making my statements clear, expressing all my thoughts even if there’s gonna be a gazillion of them, and generating them into legible elsie-fied blogs (Elsie’s essence of humour, seriousness and [...]
Die Die must do, Don’t Do Die!
Today I went for a workshop & the trainer shared something with us that is really simple yet impactful…. we were discussing the strategy of problem-solving & one of the steps is Brainstorming & we had this little conversation…. Have you ever heard people say that “Die Die must do” something & that “If Don’t [...]
Self Improvement vs Self Discovery
“The journey of life is not about improving oneself, it’s about rememebering oneself” – The Saint, The Surfer and the CEO. Now, that’s what I call a paradigm shift! See, when we talk about self improvement, it seems like one needs to improve upon what one already is. This suggests that something is lacking and [...]
There is nothing to write, I just enjoy reading…
Haha… suddenly, I felt that all of you are writing so well and so much so I decided that I will just enjoy your blogs and comments and sip in all the goodies that you guys and gals are presenting to me. I will just enjoy the posts for now. Its just a wonderful feeling [...]
Beauty in the beholder’s eye..
Have you ever wondered why ALL babies are beautiful? Don’t you feel every single baby looked alike? So is it because they ALL look alike and that’s why they are beautiful to us or because we ALL see the same IMMERSE potential in them that you feel that they are ALL beautiful? Thus, is it [...]
What are your standards?
When I was younger, I often find that successful people are scary. Especially those people up there. Coz they always appear to be aggressive and demanding. Why do they have to be so harsh? Can’t they just close 1 eye? Human are not perfect. Lately, I somehow understood why… Imagine when there are some many things [...]
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 [...]
Articulation
I had an impromptu speech this week which I was required to talk for 5 minutes non-stop. I chose Japanese languange, a topic which I thought I could elaborate on, but I barely managed 3 minutes. In the end, I was the worst speaker but that didn’t come as a surprise to me. I am not as articulate [...]
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 [...]
Challenge Your Preconceptions
This has been all over the entertainment blogs, but it’s still a very enlightening video. It’s from “Britain’s Got Talent”, and the person auditioning is best described as “auntie”. Watch the video before reading! Click “Read on” to access the link.
Empathy versus Pride
Recently I have been seeking a balance between empathy and pride. Pride was the latest additon to my values, reminding myself to set the highest standards in whatever I am doing, and because I withhold I standards in my life, sometimes doing so raises my expectations on people around me, especially when I know and [...]
Loving myself and embrace the imperfections in me
Seen the recent advertisement on the Indian lady who gave a beautiful eulogy at her late husband’s funeral? That struck a thought: “Little imperfections that are perfect for you….Beautifully imperfect.” I often ask people around me “What are 3 things you love about yourself?” and yes, I mean L-O-V-E. I am not surprised that often, [...]
The ability to laugh at oneself
A few days ago I was sitting in the same room as my colleague, A who was teaching a student behind me. They started talking about Good Friday and my colleague mentioned about how Jesus will resurrect three days later. Due to her not so correct pronunciation of resurrection, the student started laughing and repeating after [...]
Power of Consistency!
Why is consistency important in our lives? Consistency (as defined in the dictionary) is steadfast adherence to the same principles, course, form, etc. How is consistency linked to success? Of the numerous business owners who are mutli millionaires I had met, I asked them regarding what makes them successful in their career. There is NO [...]
Positive Affirmations!
Recently I’ve read a book in regards to the Law Of Attraction, before I start typing an unlimited words essay, I believe everyone of us already know what’s the Law Of Attraction. So instead, I would like to blog about how can we speed up the Law of Attraction, allowing us to manifest our dreams, quicker than we thought [...]
