Ending..

So we're just few hours away from a spanking brand new year and let me tell you, 2007 has been nothing short of rewarding as far as my spiritual and family life is concerned. I made many friends and get to know them rather well. Best of all, it is gratifying to know these wonderful people actually irregardless of cultural differences. I'll always look back with gratitude and for the wonderful decisions I have made regarding to Marie Callas.

Seasongs Greetings

Merry Christmas to all of you :)

We don't celebrate Christmas in my family but the festive spirit is there and it makes all of us in our office really in holiday mood. I'd be taking four days of leave to visit my parents. It has been some months since i visit them and it's a good time to catch up with each other.

Thanks for the ritual

Thank you Marie Callas for the ritual which you performed on my behalf on December 2nd, 2007. I truly appreciate you keeping your part of the agreement I made when I ordered your psychic service. And I already feel even more positive that the my life situation will change much better for me and family next year.

I own some of your magical talismans and rings, so I will not need you to send me any further. You advise me to wear the lunar pendants at all times as it will absorb earth's energy. That's why I always wear it around whenever I go. I hope it also helps me to connect to your powers at all times.

Unfortunately, this month will be very packed for me as I cannot find time to connect spiritually to you Marie but I hope you will be blessed too.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

It's December again!

It's time of the year where we show our gratitude and the month where we can give back to the society to help the needy and the less fortunates. I've always encourage my daughters to contribute to the needy as much as they can afford because by doing so, it's creating a helping spiritual bond to the Providence and it will in turn give you back more. I believe in that. I feel that's the right thing to do. The act of generosity.

Same here for gratitude. I'm very grateful to put some faith in Marie Callas. She has changed my life quite a lot this year, of course, those few lucky lottery wins have made my family's life better, like the good food and the memorable short trips around the country. So I make sure I always carry one of the Marie Callas talisman whenever I go and I think it helps me. Thank you again.

With all the love in my heart I want to tell you thank you and I wish you Merry Christmas and a lot of health and happiness.

Life goes on

Not really in happy mood recently, as you know, the Hindraf incident here has made many of us feel uncertain in our beloved country. Every country has own domestic problems and this is one of them that has been ignored over and over. I shouldn't comment too much about this sensitive issue though. I shall leave it to your own analysis and conclusion.

For me and my circle of people, lives still go on as usual. Some of them are clearly incensed by the event but I encourage them to be congenial as usual, after all we do have our families to raise here.

2 simple tips to get lucky in life

In case you are wondering what's the 2 magical tips, they are actually happening right at our everyday life. You are just now aware of that or you are just taking them for granted. I think they are logical.

Right place at the right time and you see the opportunity dangling in front of you. So how to get there? It depends on your network of acquaintances, don't you think so? For instance, if you have an active network of 100 acquaintances, you're far more likely to hear of opportunities that you've been looking for than if you only had a network of 50. Somehow through this network, you get the best job offer or a great business opportunity, then others would say you're the luckiest person on earth!

Secondly, don't be afraid, go to try out something new! Enjoy life's new experiences and don't always hide in your own shelf. This way, yo are more likely to be exposed to more opportunities. So if you're the sort of person who always goes to the same place on holiday, or will eat the same meal at a restaurant time and time again because you know you like it, then go on, try something new!! The fun here is just do something unusual or out of your normal activities.. this is a dynamic world and you may find something to be exciting about..

Thank you

I think "Thank You" are very powerful words. It can:

1. Turn upsets to gratitude.
2. Negative to positive.
3. Complaining to Appreciating.
4. Argument to Acceptance and Understanding.
5. Forcing to Encouragement.
6. Disempowering to empowering.
7. Hate to love.

I've made it a habit to thank everyone I come in contact with and to try and find something to compliment them on.

Living passionately is not about....

Living passionately is an important aspect of a fulfilling life. But passion doesn't have to be reserved for just our goals. We have become so goal oriented that we have lost being involved in the activity and the journey. I agree that without passion for the journey itself, and that includes all areas of life, there will be disappointment when we reach our destination.

Besides, there is no destination. Life is an on-going process of evolution. So when we focus on reach the goal to feel satisfaction, we are reaching for a ghost.

So the only definition I can see is a bad habit is anything that has a disruptive, sabotaging and negative impact on our life. But in general, if we focus on strengthening our positive qualities, rather than trying to weed out every little negative action, we will create a more positive and productive lifestyle.

Happy Deepavali

A colorful festival that is celebrated by all Hindus worldwide is Deepavali, which is also known as the festival of lights. This festival usually falls around late October and November.

One important practice that the Hindus follow during the festival is to light oil lamps in their homes on Deepavali morning. By lighting the oil lamps, the Hindus are thanking the gods for the happiness, knowledge, peace and wealth that they have received. The Hindus consider Deepavali as one of the most important festivals to celebrate.

There is even an interesting legend behind this festival. The story goes that Narakasura, a demon, ruled the kingdom of Pradyoshapuram. Under his rule, the villagers suffered a lot of hardship as the demon tortured the people and kidnapped the women to be imprisoned in his palace. Seeing his wickedness, Lord Khrishna set out to destroy the demon and the day Narakasura died was celebrated as Deepavali, the triumph of good over evil!

The Hindus usually awake early in the morning of deepavali around 3am and the first ritual will be having an oil bath, which is an important feature of Deepavali. Hindus will be dressed in their new clothes on Deepavali. Most of the ladies would be clad in silk saris or Punjabi suits of various bright shades. Hindus particularly dislike dressing in black on that day, as they consider black an inauspicious color for the festival.

Hindus would also pay their respects to the elderly and most families would go to the temple after having breakfast. This is also an important practice for them. The reason why they would be going to the temples is to pray to get happiness and prosperity on Deepavali. The houses would be decorated with oil lamps and children will play with firecrackers to celebrate the festival. On the first day, they would not go visiting but would stay at home to welcome the guests who visit them.

Visiting Hindus during Deepavali will be an interesting activity, as you will get to taste a wide variety of delicious food. In every home that you visit you are bound to be served with a tempting spread of sweets. Some of the popular sweets are halwa, burfi and laddu.

Hindus love eating spicy food and for non-vegetarians they indulge in favorites like chicken tandoori, prawn sambal and fish head curry. In homes of Hindus who are vegetarians popular dishes like thosais, idlis and naans are prepared.

Discover your passion and you'll find your fortune

We grew up choosing the educational course that promised would make us most money and potential advancement. We just didn't follow our passion in life. In the end many ended up miserable and unfulfilled.

One of the things I've learned from people who are truly successful is that they are passionate about what they do. The greatest sportsman and actors are passionate about their craft. So the lesson they teach is find what you are passionate about and just do it. You won't have a problem focusing because you'll be doing what you love.

People who are passionate about something, spend as much time around what they love as possible. So to them, work is no longer work, work becomes fun, and who doesn't love to have fun.

Find a quiet place by yourself, close your eyes, and focus on what you are passionate about.

What would you do all day long if you could, if you are thinking about sleep, your passion for life isn't strong enough.

Discover your passion and you'll find your fortune.

Be passionate about what you do

Many of us when we were young were passionate about everything that we do. We loved painting, playing, reading our favourite books, running, and using our imaginations to create fabulous, fantastic worlds.

Next time question then is why, as we get older do we find it so hard to focus on fun?

What is the event that changed us as we grow up?

Personally I believe what changes is that many adults have forgotten how to have fun. That includes me. Most of us take life so seriously that we forget that the journey is a large part of what makes the goal so precious. If you find no joy in the journey, there is a good chance in time you'll find no joy in the goal.

Motivation at the street

A former colleague of mine has decided to go ahead to set up his own business. He left my present company about 2 years ago to pursue a career in IT which is a total stranger to me sometimes.

He was always the brightest learner in my department.Quick to learn, blessed with good memory and a passion to provide good customer support to my project team at all times. Everyone of us likes him and it was sad to hear him leaving the company at that time.

Recently I met him on the streets and we chatted over coffee. He had since set up his own web design company as he felt there is growing web demand here in this country. I did applaud his decision to go after his dream but he seems a little lack of confidence at this time as he fears of falling on his face and having to crawl back, defeated.

I told him nobody really failed in life. We all get what we go after – without fail. The difference between positive and negative thinkers is that the positive thinker goes after what they want, while the negative thinker, more times than not, accepts whatever comes along.

So all of us need to believe that we can achieve and have that passion to go for it. Just be prepared to face the tougher challenges on the way to living our definition of success.

Quite strangely, I'm surprised I can give such a pep talk to someone. Maybe I can be a motivator now!

Striving to improve

One thing I have learned of being positive is that you can attract more friends. And most amazingly, most of the people around you are positive-minded even though there are some cynics who always like to retort you when you make a positive forecast of something.

A couple of years ago, I was very negative person. People dislikes me I guess and I know that. That's why I became more negative. Somethings I felt I was ostracised. However, through Marie Callas, I gradually looked into my behaviour and mental process and decided that I need to change something so that I can be at peace with myself.

What I learn from Marie Callas was that when I was thinking negatively, I forced myself to think about something good that has happened to me recently. Come on, I strongly believe no matter how bad your life is, there ought to have something little spisodes in life that cheer you up, even for just a few minutes. Yeah, focus on that! It's the life energy that you should tap on and you go on from there.

If you can, paint these success stories in your mind. We all need to remember these little waves of optimism and positive energy. The more you do it, the better you will get at it.

Wishes and more wishes

Recently I received psychic Marie Callas' latest letter. I looked through with great interest becauuse this is something I have not seen before.

In this letter, Marie Callas seems to understand my feelings because she says through her, I can fulfil seven wishes. Everyone has the wishes in their mind so do I. My wishes are to have more riches, peace to my family, and peace to the world.

I shall not go into the details of each wish as it is very personal and I don't want to reveal them here. Wish has to be specific. It is better than you can state the amount that you need, the time, the place and visualise your wishes in great amazing clarity as if they are right in front of you. Please do not give vague wish as they will not come to you as clear as you want to be, because the heaven does not know what is it that you are looking for, hence you may experience disappointments.

Marie Callas says she'd help me to get my 7 wishes come true. I wrote them down on a the paper and return it to her together with my cheque. I feel great and peaceful after that because I trust Marie Callas.

First Malaysian to reach space

It's really big news here filled with patriotic pride and achievement as a nation together!

Yes, we have our first astronaut.

After months of planning and training, Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor will be launching to space soon from Kazakhstan with astronauts from Russia. He will be embarking on a ten-day mission and will return on 21st October.

“It’s a small step for me, but a great leap for the Malaysian people,’’ Dr Sheikh Muszaphar.

There is intense media coverage among all the TV stations here and you also watch the launch over Astro.

Despite all the negative stories recently, this is really a big positive news for all of us. It's nice to read something as inspirational over the papers rather than those depressing criminal exploits.

Proud day for all Malaysians.

Create the life you most want and value.

"Life sucks!"

How often we hear that?

A lot of times, don't you think so, especially when you yourself are feeling that way, you'd realise many people are sulking over their own states of life too. Well, what do the mean when people exclaim that?

My understand would be that they feel unfair when someone else they know happen to have the luck to get the "good" things in life, while they have to slog it out without avail. I know, because this common human emotions.

Now the good news, thanks to Marie Callas wisdom!

We have the control of our own destiny, only if you are hungry enough!

Where our power lies is in focusing on what we do want rather than wallowing in what we don't! We are in charge of what we think about, talk about and do. That's the truth.

This world is getting faster and faster, especially in rapidly developing country like Malaysia, more people are going to be left behind, more chaos are appearing in the society, just read what's reported in the papers. No point drowning yourself in sorrow and expect sympathy. Instead, your life is not your circumstances.

You decide how to respond to circumstances and create the life you most want and value.

A quiet stream nearby

How I wish I have this stream at the back of my house where I can hear the flow of the stream and look at the clear water full of little fish when I'm feeling bored.

Our interaction with nature is getting less and less in this hectic life hence it will be good to have something natural with you at touching distance with travelling far to enjoy it.I remember when I was young, my grandmother's house had something like this nearby her old house before it was torn down and replaced by an highway. Sad isn't it. Really miss those worries free days in the childhood. Even during days,with heavy rainfall, the stream wouldn't flood, unlike now, it floods easily. Somewhere is wrong with the man and the nature definitely.

Creating Abundance

Creating abundance in your life, means taking responsibility for what you are attracting into it. When you turn, "responsibility" around, it asks the question, "What is your ability to respond?"

We are instantly attracting to us, whatever we focus on and respond to.

Positive and negative thoughts from us, are sent out into the universe, every which way. The law of attraction is not built to censor the positive, or negative. It simply works on one main principle. "Like, attracts like."

Begin by not engaging your negative feelings with frustration and anger, or rage.

Stop putting your energy into, what you don't like, don't want; and begin responding to your positive thoughts, with intention. In this way, you will begin to create abundance for yourself. It's not what happens to you, in life; it is taking responsibility for how you respond to it. This is the real power, to create abundance in your life.

Most of us, believe money would equate to, abundance. And yet, money, by itself, is nothing more than a tool to acquire a new home, or car.

Begin defining, what abundance equates, to you. Keep the list and focus on it three times a day. It's ok to change the list as you go over it. This is normal.

If you want a new house, then begin defining what kind of house you really want. Get specific, then focus with intention, and believe you will have this. Let the law of attraction begin working for you.

Learn to create abundance, by practicing these three steps everyday.

Why show gratitude?

Over the weekend, I had a great time with my friends and family. Great time and great food. What more could I ask for. I express my deepest gratitude for that abundance in life.

While I am writing this, I ask, how many people are aware of the abundance that fills their lives right now? I guess not many. I'm not in the best position to say anything I guess. And I do know, many people are taking lives for granted that they have forgotten they are actually surrounding by abundance. Having abundance really doesn't mean collecting that unending list of material possessions.

In our materialistic society we are told by others (many through our television sets and media) that we need more stuff to be happy and fulfilled, and when we acquire and possess the stuff they tell us we should have, they bring out more stuff, newer, improved, better stuff and tell us that we need that. But I guess that's how the world develops too! It's a parody in spirituality I bet.

But let me boldly state one thing which is, the vicious circle of material possessions doesn't end until we develop an attitude of gratitude.

How can being thankful for something stop us from wanting more and more possessions?

When you become grateful the aspects of life neglected. Instead of worrying about how you can get your next better car, you explore how you can create your next sign of love. Then your value will change and life appreciation grows. So that greedy appetite to acquire more material stuff lowers.

That's my simple explanation on gratitude. Thanks Marie Callas for your precious spiritual guide.

The Power of Gratitude

Gratitude. This is a virtue which Marie Callas speaks so often but so many people have forgotten. There are actually immense powers if you express gratitude.

Gratitude is one thing which requires no money or effort and you can do that for free but it does have the effect your making you rich in your life.

Sometimes we feel life is so unfair. Someone has all the good stuff in the world yet you have to slog it out to earn pittances. You develop an attitude of angst. Don't! Instead develop an attitude of gratitude.

Practise showing your gratitude as much as you can. You don't have to go around smiling at every hour every minutes to do that. You can tell yourself in your mind how much you appreciate this life or better still, you can meditate on that.

Whenever something goes against you, do not be hateful. Express gratitude that it has taught you something instead. Be sincere and genuine too, for you will truly feel thankful for the abundance in your life.

Think and Grow Rich

There is this famous motivational book called "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill.

Maybe you have heard and even read it a few times before. Call me being shadow, for this is the first time I have heard of this book.

The book is famous because I read that many top entrepreneurs, business owners and sales marketers have read the book. There are a lot of principles which can be easily practised and reflected upon. After all, as I have write many times, its your mental conditioning to success that matters. Too often, normal people severely lack the mental conditioning for success.

Let me give you a link to download this book in pdf format. Think and Grow Rich.

"Think and Grow Rich" is the Millionaires Bible. Don't read it at your own risk.

A Rush to Blog

Away from the topic of Marie Callas and spirituality for a while...

I received an invite from my sister about this latest thingy in blogging world called BlogRush. It was just launched apparently by an Internet expert John Reese and BlogRush is said to have exploded exponentially all of the sudden.

I have learned a lot over the last few months about blog traffic and you just need to look at its Alexa to see the amount of traffic hitting BlogRush suddenly.

It works like a MLM scheme and if you refer more people to BlogRush, your blog will gain more traffic. The concept sounds cool and novel and traffic is the lifeline of every serious blogger hence you can see the sudden interest in this site.

It is very simple to do. Just sign up and optionally refer some bloggers. Next paste the widget script to your blog and then save it. When you refresh your blog, you'll see that it will pull out posts of other bloggers who blog about the same genre and topic as you. For example, my blog will mainly show up posts about spirituality.

So try BlogRush out and you may find your blog has increased traffic!

Malaysia Day

Hope you had a great weekend just like I did.

Yesterday was 16th September and do Malaysians out there understand the importance of this date?

Yes, it was Malaysia Day. A day in which Sabah and Sawarak formally joined the Federation of Malaysia. It should be on equal status with Merdeka Day.

Wiki of Malaysia Day.

Self, Soul, Spirit and Source

Just for a divine thought..maybe this is too serious for a relaxing weekend? :P

Self - the thought of 'I'/ ego/ personality

Soul - the essence of the individuation of spiritual energy that makes you uniquely you, ... the consciousness, ...but more than the concept of self. The true representation of the individuation that has no masks. I think we can hold on to this as long as we want to.

Spirit - the facet of creative energy that is the essence of your being, ... that which is cloaked in the soul and self.

Source - (Divine Spirit/ God) - the creative energy that is all/everyone/everything ... the primal essence/ source of life/ existence, collectively.

Predictions anyone?

Sometimes when numbers appear in your dreams, people think those numbers are the lucky numerical given to you from your God. Those are prediction numbers that could prove decisive in your weekend's lottery game. Not just numbers, can be anything, any signs or any images in your dreams. You may find one day those images will appear in real before your eyes and that will give you a sense of familiarity.

Recently, I dream about waiting near a durian tree feverishly for the fruits to drop. A few days later, you know what, I was eating durians at a road side stall, courtesy of a treat from a mate!

So I like to ask , do you have any predictions that you would like to share? I thought it would be fun to do this and see how many turn out to be accurate.

Telepathic

Some people believe in supernatural stuff but some people are not convinced by those related phenomenon due to the lack of scientific proof. There are reports that when supernatural occurs, the magnetic interference nearby is more acute than normal. But are these changes in magnetic field able to tell us anything?

But I do believe in telepathy - an invisible linking between two people. A blink of an eye or a smile will tell the other person what he is thinking or intend to do. These understandings are often extremely accurate, haven't you heard the football commentator saying "telepathic understanding" during a match?

In my life I have met a couple of interesting people from Indian temple here and they are said to be mildly telepathic - they were very interesting, they could send and receive, very impressive, very cool. That was a really cool experience. Can you send thoughts out? Do you think people receive them?

Have you ever called someone and they said, I picked up the phone and I knew it was you. Or have you ever picked up the phone and instinctively or intuitively known who it was on the other line before you pick it up? I think we have all had this experience at one time or another.

Believe and action

More motivational stuff from me inspired by Marie Callas :)

If you think that you will never get what you want in life or you think that you will never reach to the height of someone, you are essentially telling yourself that you will not achieve that.

Too many times I have heard this, either during friendly conversations or if you notice more, media interviews.

"I would like to try but I don't think I have the talents for that as I'm not someone-someone-someone."

Let's analyse.

This person wishes to do something special fervently. He/she has been dreaming of it all the time for a long time. He/she has a role model who is one of the best in the business. First of all, "try" is a very unassuming half-hearted word to use for something as solemn as your goal. It means no confidence in yourself. Use the word "do" instead. There is a lot of difference, mind you. He/she is not sure whether to go for it or not and the worse is he/she degrades her/his own ability in doing that when compared to their role model. The whole sentence is very negatively worded that gives a depressing tone. If you have this type of friend, advice your friend, or, get away from such friend if you can't convince.

Positively, it should be:

"I would like to do it successfully and I know I have as much talent to do as well as someone-someone-someone."

Now it gets your mind spinning how to get it done. You have started to think and plan for your goal. Your subconscious mind will also work in favour of you. In turn your actions will change, and you start manifesting more and more of what you want.

Remember, change your mind to believe, then follow up with actions.

Marie Callas letter

Life has ups and downs, exactly like the elevators you see at tall buildings. One more up, the next time down, then up again.. what a weird comparison don't you think? I think its better to compare life to riding a surf board, which makes you fall into the water or you can use it to conquer the waves.

On another note, I have received a Marie Callas letter again. I can't believe I forget to open this one up and I think I miss it among a huge pile of papers. Only then I discovered it when I was doing some sorting of my study desk, mind you. Marie Callas wrote to me in late June (nearly 2 months ago) about the "visionary flashes". I did not take up this offer, maybe it's late?

On the whole, I have not written to her for some months, and I'd like to write to her very soon as it's always good to express one's gratitude to someone who helps you. Gratitude should be shown to everyone and everything in life in fact, not just when you received good things. Earlier I wrote 3 letters to her at the beginning of the Marie Callas consultation and I really felt at peace after doing so.

Lunar Eclipse

This is definitely late.

The event happened on 28 August 2007 and some of us here were quite excited to see this astronomical phenomenon. But...... the weather didn't cooperate and instead sent a thick layer of thunder clouds to greet us.

Luckily due to internet, we have pictures and videos of this event appearing everywhere.

I'm referring to the lunar eclipse that happened last week.

Here is a excellent picture of the eclipse taken by someone in Melbourne, Australia.

Need for awareness

It was really a great weekend filled with nationalistic mood, and it was also one of those weekends in which countrymen traversed across the states back to their hometowns to gather with their families again.

Some parts of the roads were jammed to the brim as I travelled to my parent's place at Malacca, a reasonable 200km away. It was nice to be back as I had not met them for more than three months. We promise each other we would gather at this time of the year.

On today's newspaper, it reported that many Malaysians were tricked by the SMS scams, up to the number of RM35 millions. It's a shame so many people are gullible. It was obviously a front that was set up to cheat your money.

I learned from Marie Callas that wealth is energy and you need to work out something on your part to attract them. You also must have the spiritual and psychic aura ready before wealth will come to you. Also, you need to affirm your desires positively and continuously.

Personally I have received such sms and I can understand why. It was just too easy to fall into the trick if you just look things on the surface.

Happy Merdeka Day!

Selamat Hari Kebangsaan ke-50
Happy Merdeka !!

Happy Merdeka Day, my country!

I still proud to be a Malaysian despite of the all problems. Which country in the world does not have any problems? I think we have really progressed a lot as a whole. It's the barbarian side of the people on a world-wide scale that is deteriorating.

Of course, the fact that it's a long weekend again makes all of us even happier! We can really go out with celebratory mood to enjoy with friends and families!

But please drive carefully within the speed limit. Have a safe weekend!

We are all part of Universe

Everyone of us is part of the greater Universe and we are all born equal as what Marie Callas says. That's very true as we are all made up of tiny subatomic particles that are also abundantly available in stars ten million light years away. So how can a group of particles come together to form life of all shapes and sizes each with different traits and characteristics, and, how can the distant stars and galaxies are moving in such precision?

I have always thought there must have a creative force that bind all these together, something that is beyond the understand of science at this moment. This Force is free from the restriction of time and space and is the Source of everything in the Universe.

Well, I found this interesting video from metacafe that poignantly illustrates what I'm trying to express. Enjoy :)


Small Earth Or BIG Universe? - The best bloopers are here

More trees coming

I'm happy to read today's news that the Govt is planning to build more parks here in KL. This is really good news as I really wish to see more shades around the areas we live, shop and work. The air is getting quite polluted at times and we really need those beautiful trees to improve the air quality.

A few weeks ago I posted them I wish to see more trees and greeneries in our city and I'm glad they are really working out something. Do they hear my plea? Plants have a role in our earth and they are extremely vital in our global climate, aren't they?

Malaysia Internation Fireworks Competition 2007

The big talking point in town right now is of course MIFC 2007 which will be held at Putrajaya International Convention Centre from 18 August 2007 till 2 September 2007. Several nations like Australia, Japan, Italy and Malaysia will be competing for the Merdeka trophy.

Already I have heard that one the first day, there was severe overcrowding at the location and massive traffic jams. I think fireworks are magnificent and everyone loves to see and wow to it. Photgraphy buffs love to capture the transcient moments when the explosives flare up the night sky into twinkling streams of colourful lights.

I'll definitely bring my family there for a good time. But would need to fight hard for a viewing spot. Sigh...

Winning Lottery

I'm really happy to hear one of my friends who also has faith in Marie Callas actually won RM3,000 in a lottery earlier this month. He had written in to express his thanks and gratitude as he said the experience was simply "unbelievable, fantastic and great".

Well, it's true that Marie's person guidance is invaluable if you have the faith in her. Marie Callas dislikes people who are fed negativities all times and criticise without ever putting in action. For those who have trust, she's really a miracle in their lives.

Use our time productively

We got to use our time productively. How many months in a life time could you afford to waste and lose. Do you wish to lament in your older years about what you should have done or missed chances of your younger years?

To make use of your time productively, read inspirational books that teach new knowledge, listen to audios, attend seminars or classes, or do anything that will propel you forward to your goal. Aim to be more efficient than you can ever be. Brainstorming, or even just discussing, with people who are well-versed in the field of your interest can be very helpful.

If you feel you are too tied up, smile and don't get stressed out over things you have no control of. If you guess that something undesirable will happen in the future, think of ways to solve the problem rather than worry about it. As the saying goes, "Focus on the solution, and not on the problem."

Meditation in the cool morning

I love to write about meditation.

All thanks to psychic Marie Callas, I have found meditation brining a calming influence into my life. My awareness has improved too. No longer I feel "blurred" at times. It's like there's a bright light shining on my path that shows me to the right direction.

Meditation gets me closer to God than any prayer. I'm not a religious person but someone who's aiming to be spiritual. Luckily I live in a place that's not too noisy, and sometimes I can heard the birds chirping and insects buzzing on a lazy day. The weather is hot here so I usually wake up at 5am as the weather is cooler and the dew is still visible.

I don't mediate at night as there is too much distraction from family. I would like to ask my wife to meditate with me but I guess she prefers to get up later.

To meditate well you need to sit in a comfortable position. Just find a good place to sit and meditate without being disturbed. For me I sit in my favourite relax chair facing the trees at the second storey of my terrace house. Sometimes I play a little bit of Al Gromer Khan in the background to guide me into the groove.

During meditation, you can close or open your eyes. For me I like to keep them open so that i can see the morning trees swaying in the cool breeze.

Relax your muscles and next concentrate well so that you stop thinking. Let your mind become blank and silent totally. I know sometimes a thought just flies into your mind and that makes you unable to concentrate. In this case, maybe you have to stop for a while.

Listen to the sounds around you. Listen to your heartbeat. Listen to the breaths you're taking. Inhale slowly and exhale slowly. Be aware of every breath, of every sound around you; your pains.

It will take a couple of times for you to master this, but once you do, you will find yourself going to a higher plane than the one that you're currently on, and when you go to a higher plane, you're closer to God. And that is where we all want and need to be.

May peace and prosperity be with you.

Inspirational

Post a great inspirational lines of wisdom from a great man. Read it and begin your new week with a bang.

"Until one is committed there is hesitancy,
the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness.
Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation)
there is one elementary truth
the ignorance of which
kills countless ideas and splendid plans:
that the moment one definitely commits oneself,
then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one
that would never otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision
raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents
and meetings and material assistance
which no man would have dreamed would have come his way.
Whatever you can do or dream you can do,
begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Begin it now."

-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 1749-1832
German poet, dramatist, novelist, and philosopher

Why there are crimes?

It seems that there are tragic news everyday here in this country. What is really going on spiritually?

Why are there crimes? I thought about it, and conclude there are many reasons why people commit crimes. It may be revenge, by mistake or psychological satisfaction.

Reasons people commit crimes:
1. anger
2. hurt
3. drugs/alcohol
4. revenge
5. dares
6. stupidity
7. mental problems
8. recognition

These are roughly the reasons.

In further insight, crimes are done to avoid pain and/or gain pleasure. You see, everyone is selfish and does EVERYTHING they do to either avoid pain and/or gain pleasure.

Hitler and Mother Teresa for example, both did everything they did for 100% selfish reasons, however, Mother Teresa gained pleasure and avoided pain by helping people. Hitler, on the other hand, gained pleasure and avoided pain by killing massive amounts of people and trying to gain world domination.

Strange, but if you think about it for only a minute. it will become obvious to you.

I guess the best is to become positive selfish for a good cause.

Words have immeasurble powers

I read about Marie Callas talking about the power of words.

They are powerful. Don't you think so?

Words can shape histories. Dynasties and kingdoms were destroyed and created because of words. Good or ills, words are responsible for shaping them.

Personally I have experienced the powers of the negative words having great effects in my life. Someone told me off very negatively when I was rather young and his words have stuck in my minds like a leech and followed me throughout my growing years.

That is why being a parent now, I really have to be careful with words. You never know that a sincere reprimand could resonate badly in the mind of your kids and they grow to detest you or suffering low confidence because of your words.

Sometimes I find that brief positive words delivered in a short span of time with impact and emotions and verve can sometimes effect positive.

That's what we all should be doing.

Iraq: new Asian Champions!

This is really what fairytale from the sporting world is all about. Don't you think so?

Iraq, a nation torn apart by sectarian violence with bombs going off almost everyday killing many people, has become the new Asian football champions after beating Saudi 1-0 in the final.

For some surreal moments, the people there sang and danced united. This shows that sports is the only thing that can really unite the races and religions and turned people sane for the moment while the game is going on.

This is a spiritual lesson and experience for the whole world.

Meditate for a good sleep

You had a long and stressful day at work and now you are ready to relax and prepare yourself for bed. But somehow, your mind just wouldn’t switch off. You’re still thinking of the events that happened at work today, or are worried about the important meeting you’re going to have tomorrow.

The above scenario happens to many people as most of us experience some form of insomnia at some stage of our lives. Factors like work stress, a newborn child, or illness can add physical and emotional anxiety to our lives, robbing us of the quality sleep that we badly need in order to function properly.

A very effective method to calm our minds is through meditation. I meditate as much as I can from the instructions Marie Callas has taught.

There are many types of meditation, and different people do it for different reasons. For me, meditation relieves stress, restores inner peace and promotes a healthier state. Meditation is also especially helpful if I want to fall asleep. Think about it.. it really helps.

Generally, I sit in a quiet location free from distraction, dim the lights, put my feet firmly on the floor, wear loose clothing that would not restrict breathing, and close my eyes. Sometimes I play some soft background music and it takes about 10 to 15 mins.


Well, temporary or not, meditation will still be useful if it can just give us those extra few hours of sleep and make the quality of our lives slightly better. Try it to see if it works for you.

Finding Happiness

Working 24/7 will not help you to be really happy unless you are workaholic. But, it is also true that, we should find joy in your work so that we will not dread working. That another skill we need to learn. But, let’s focus on enjoying today.

Take some time out and delicate the time to your favorite hobby or sports. I personally love to play soccer and watch animations. I find that when I am engross in the things I love, my mind sort of forget everything about the reality. Problems are gone! My heart becomes as light as a feather and I would laugh at myself at times. I was really enjoying and having fun! The most important thing is that I am HAPPY.

It may be short term happiness but please gives your mind and heart time to relax and enjoy too. In the long run, your heart and mind are also healthier. In addition, you will look forward in enjoying your favorite pastime and life becomes easier as well as happier.

The pursuit of happiness is not just about having everything you ever wanted, but also personal space that you can distress and enjoy at times. Now, spare some time for your hobby, I am sure they miss you as well.

Looking for "Instant" Success

It seems like youngsters and kids nowadays don't have much hunger in their bellies.

Why do I say that?

My oldest boy, who is 8 year-old, is slightly worrying me. He has this growing habit of everything being served to him in a silver platter. I know he is still young you may say. Well, that is where the habit may stick to him forever! As a father I can only send him to the doorstep and encourage him to step in but if he is hesitant or lazy to go in himself, that's where problems will come.

I don't really like people to have a dependent mindset on others as I prefer everyone to be independent when it comes to grinding things out. Right, a team discussion is understandable when there are some problems, and that's what I like. And that's what I tell my juniors when they come to me for problems.

For them, the unknown is not worth trying, and leaving your comfort zone is a bad decision. Instant result and success are what they want, but they forget there's always a series of hardwork before anyone can taste the success.

Do you know people in your life who don't want to work hard and just want success NOW?

Grateful

Weekend came and passed by extremely quickly, even before I could truly give myself a real rest. I hope all of you have a great time when your precious weekends.

Yup, the weather is really swelteringly hot, and everyone smells weird if you bump them in a crowded life, even those SYT! * Praying very hard for 2 days of non stop rain * Which is the reason why you can see so many people rushing up the 'mountains' to enjoy at the colder air at GH.

Don't much much luck last one or two months as well, but I'm not blaming Marie or anyone. Actually I should feel grateful to Marie Callas because I have won more money on lotteries on the first 5 months of this year than the amount I won with all the past few years totalled.

Psychic Protection - Why we need it

We all like to project ourselves as strong and steady, confident-looking, giving people around you some sense of charisma, that is what many people are looking for. Yet, we rely on each other in more ways than we care to admit.

Some of the people may be loners, or self-proclaimed loners who don't need people's company, but, they can't escape the basic fact that we are all linked and reliant upon each other. This is mankind. We are living things that live in herds. Psychic energy links us to one another in an invisible way.

We are experience sadness together when something tragic is reported in the news media, that's a good example of the psychic linking energy we all experience. Yet, we still continue to fight and dislike each other in an almost primitive way.

Our psychic energy is drained lower than normal when we experience something very tragic personally, like visiting a struggling family member in the hospital. That's the reason why we all need psychic protection. Because we are all psychic in nature!

Why? At some point we will come across someone else’s negative thoughts and feelings nearly everyday, this is known as psychic attack. Most of us living in cities teeming with people and there are high chances we can meet psychic attack anytime. This creates even more bad energies to other people around us. Spiritually we need to be protected too. That's why I work with Marie Callas who has given me great advices so far.

Even our houses we stay in may harbour negative waves that impair our spiritual strengths in the most unknown way like feeling moody, foul moods, depressing states etc. This type of bad energies can be cleared as I have mentioned earlier via good fengshui or you can use Maria Callas positive harmoniser which works great for me!

Besides these, there are a few other ways to guard yourself against psychic attacks, like meditations, practise spirituality techniques or simply be a strong will and concentration.

I wish everyone safe and strong.

Transformers 2007

Last one week or so, this movie has been the talk of the town.. That's right,it's of course Transformers. My friends and colleagues talked about it when we met up, my kids pestered me to bring them ever since it was released.

Finally I brought them to watch it over the weekend at Shaw Centrepoint. Man, I think it was a full house and I admit I had not stepped into a cinema for many months. It felt kinda weird when you suddenly found yourself sitting amidst so many people.

Funny, I don't really remember watching this cartoon when I was as kid. I just had pieces of memory here and there. That's why I found it hard to relate as my impression of it is so little. I know I never missed watching it with my brother but I just can't remember the details at all.

Well, many people say this is the movie of the year so far, so I was kind of expecting a great show. Well, the computer graphics are awesome I admit, however, the storyline just sucks, and there are a few scene where the ideas looked so copied from other films. So how can it be the movie of the year when its just pure actions thrown in with some humour?

But my kids certainly enjoyed that! But I think this film will remain in the memory of many people as a very successful commercial movie.

Marie Callas website

There is a Marie Callas website out there. Finally it's good to see Marie's website. The colour of the site is dark on colour but the font is clear enough to be seen and read. You can see her picture too if you are wondering how she looks like.

The news is that if you from Malaysia, Australia or UK, then you can receive a free Marie Callas talisman if you tell her your date of birth and name. I think Marie Callas is using some numerology and astrology techniques she is good at to personalise a talisman specially for you based on the info you have submitted. That's why I know of because I have a talisman of hers and I carry it around all the time to bring good luck. It works certainly for my case.

Nature in the City

It's good to see a plot of green trees still swaying relaxing to the winds near a project site I'm supervising. I had it shot with my poor phone cam when I saw it because it made my impatient mood that day better. Maybe due to the extreme hot and humid mid year weather over here in this country.

It's a good feeling to know there is a small amount of nature still around in the city area. I really hope they will always be there adding some cool shades and make ups to our drab city scape.

Yoga, anyone?

Yoga is an ancient Indian art that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance spiritually and it an excellent way to improve ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually.

There are really many benefits and it's an great exercise if you are not the type who likes more strenuous sports like jogging, swimming, or ball games. It also helps you to be more calm and positive as it channels the positive energy through your body, and focuses on the concept of "oneness".

I realise more and more people are practising yoga around me, especially my colleagues who stay back after office hours to practise yoga for an hour or so before going off. I think they look better are some sessions, and I compliment them for their efforts.

Those trees

Have you ever sat down and actually looked at your surroundings, like those trees, plants, flowers, birds, insects or simply ever notice the scavenging street dogs and cats?

Just a simple suggestion, say when you have a chance to enjoy your lunch or breakfast under a big shady tree, look at it, appreciate its presence there for providing the shade that allows you to enjoy your food in a cooler place. You will really find its beauty and its role in our life. It's teeming with life, just observe.

Take a moment to appreciate nature's lines, even if the greeneries are man-made. One thing though, there is just not enough greenery in our city areas. It's getting scorching hot every afternoon. I just wish there are more trees around, but sadly, more are giving up their places to make way for the rampant development here. It's a tragedy, humans have taken so much from the nature and have given so little back.

Vedic Astrology

Ever since I got to know Marie Callas, I have taken a great interest in stuffs related to spirituality and para physics. I think they are fascinating, very much necessary even at this advanced age, generally because, humans, no matter one thousand years ago, present, or one thousands years in the future, will always remain similar as they are all spiritual in nature. At certain stages of their lives, humans will learn to seek to know about their spiritual roots, no matter whether they are very successful or mediocre.

So here I am, learning something about astrology, spirituality and stuff like that. I'm neither successful or mediocre, nor am I a religious Indian as compared to some of my friends. I think I've lost of my Indian roots as we speak only English, or "Malglish" if you know what I mean!

Today I read a book about Vedic astrology which has nearly 6000 years of ancient Indian history. The four Vedas, Yajur Veda, Rig Veda, Sama Veda and Atharva Veda are scriptures from the ancient India with full range of information in various aspects of humanity like philosophy, spirituality, religion, art and science. They show the complete way of life. Vedic Astrology is also called Jyotish or the Science of Light and was first mentioned in Rig Veda.

The centre or fundamentals of Vedic astrology is the theme of Karma which is a reward or punishment for our actions. A Vedic horoscope reveals the past (which is unchangeable), and what is coming in the future. Vedic Astrologers consider the horoscope to be a draft of our problems, our talents, and attachments, in addition to our tendencies. It also tells us how good Karma can be accumulated.

The written proofs left behind by the Vedic astrologers display that the rising and setting of the planets and the stars were due to the movement of the earth and this concept was centuries ahead of medieval Europeans which regarded Earth as flat! These astrologers had great visions, intuition and psychic abilities and these made them important figures in the ancient Indian civilisations.

I think I shouldn't go much into the details as there is a limitation of what I can comprehend. The above is just based on my own understanding but I hope as I learn, I will become more spiritual.

Spiritual Healing

We are all made of the same stuff, we are part of the stars and universe. We will never be destroyed but will only change form. This is a true fact. We are the energy too. So, spiritual is quite literally everywhere, whether you believe it or not.

This brings us to Spiritual Healing which is simply a process of going within to see our essence as the beauty, innocence, and love, and then acknowledge it, appreciate it, honour it, and bless it, within ourselves. Simply sentence but it's a whole load of knowledge behind this.

Spiritual healing begins from our within. There are many ways and not one path is the “correct way.” It is “correct” according to your agreement with your soul and the lessons it came to learn on this planet.

Spiritual Healing will occur when you and your soul agree together, to make the choice to see it. It happens in an instant. It can take a lifetime, or a second to get there, but once you see it you will never see yourself, other people, places or things the same again.

Blame yourself for what you are today

My company is conducting its annual employee review this month hence there are a lot of gossips and rumours going around like "who's getting promoted", "who's going to have post", "what's going to be my grade", and etc.. Of course there are bound to be disappointments like "Why is he promoted instead of me?" or "Why are they so lucky?" Let me explain why.

Marie Callas said all things happen for a reason. What's in our life today is the result of what we have done all the past years. You really can't blame God, government, your parents, spouse or other people. If today you are poor, you can't blame them, blame it on yourself for not doing the right things to be prosperous or happy today.

Take for example, if you treat your parents with disdain, in times to come, your kids will treat you with disdain too. It's happening too often in our midst and I am sad about all that.

We need to put in efforts in order to harvest the fruits we desired. By remembering that the law of attraction always applies, we should avoid things that we can foresee that gives us negative results in the future. On the other hand, we should do things that could help gain a positive feeling on ourselves, so that others are happy being with us and this leads us to begin to be happy as well!

Well, this is based on my own understanding. I believe the details are just too subtle for me to grasp at this moment. But do remember this very basic idea. Your life will be better in times to come.

Being successful

Do you want to be successful in life? What is your meaning of 'successful'? Personally, I think most people will equate being successful in life to having lots of money and wealthy... Is that really the meaning of 'successful'?

Let me explain using my own understanding. Yes, everyone's aim of success is to be weathly. However, being successful or wealthy is a long road of perseverance, motivation, and doing the right thing at the right time at the right place. That's why too many people have given up along the way or they have found the wrong place. Even if you are in the right place, you need to use your intuition and thoughts to convince that you are in the right place. If you think you are in a wrong place, search till you think you have found the right place. That's a arduous journey.

Only when you have settled in your right place, getting nurtured, and done what you need to go, then will you see your success coming in. Money rewards are just the results of the whole process. I should say, doing the right thing at the right stage of your life, and what you do benefit others, then your life is successful. Plain pursuit of money is wrong in my opinion.

Big news

Well, the nation is buzzing with talks and gossips about our PM. This time, of course, about his big day this coming Saturday! He will get married again for the 2nd time. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that but he's the national leader and his 2nd marriage comes around 2 years after the death of the First Lady. Personally I feel there's nothing wrong with that. Life is a journey, we are always looking forward to the future, for a better experience. There's no point holding on to the past; remember, cherish and respect the past, and of course, account to your own conscience too.

It's good to forgive

I had a deep hatred for one of my ex-colleagues. I do not wish to re-tell the whole incident over here because I have decided to clear it away from the back of my mind. It's the kind of grudge that is common between guys, so you roughly know what it is..

Ever since I'm reading and learning those spiritual guidances from Marie Callas, deep in my heart I have said, "XXX, I have forgiven you." Spiritually I feel very relieved, and I wish to see him one day to verbally tell him that.

Marie Callas says that when we bear a strong hatred or grudge against another person, it is ourselves that actually hurting. It is really a heavy burden to carry it everywhere you go, day by day. Let it go and you'll feel lighter.

Vivid dream

Hope you have a great weekend and we are now in June! Do you have a great 2007 so far? I know many people are facing the gloomy aspect of their lives now as this is such a fast and unforgiving world we are in, coupled with the uncertain global environmental conditions. What is our planet like for our descendants twenty years down the road? I think only the Superior One can answer that.

I had a really bad dream last Saturday night. In my dream, I saw a giant wall of water surging towards a coastline full of holiday revellers and swallowed them in a flash. Well, I was then standing at a tall tower with my family looking out at the sea when that 'event' happens, so I was lucky in my dream...

I woke up in the morning and that dream was just so vivid and real. I hope it is just my mental picture and illusion and there's no meaning to it.

Learn to expect imperfections

I think this is very true...read it in an unknown book there in a bookshop at a shopping mall while I was waiting for my mrs. My temper was going to let loose because she kept me waiting for more than half an hour.

This sentence cools me down dramatically :)

"Do not expect perfection from your spouse or expect your spouse to have similar habits as you."

Marriage is coming together of two imperfect beings. Don’t expect wife or husband to be like this or that, accept them as they are.

How true after I gave it a thought. All the way, deep inside, I've been saying to myself how come she cannot be like this, be like that, or behave in a way I wish. In the end, we often get into verbal skirmishes and we get unhappy.

Amazing pictures

Hmmm.. turned on my computer on the Sunday morning and received a forwarded email from one of my pals who works there. It comes with a few attached pics and it got me quite jaw-dropped! Take a look at it.

You may have seen it already but for those who haven't - that's a sea tornado or water sprout showing up at Singapore on Friday afternoon!! I think the pics are really awesome... I have never seen or heard it before .

Nature is amazing, isn't it.

Neccessary items

As I have mentioned before, we should always keep the stuff in our house to a absolute minimum or necessity as this will help in projecting the good energies or 'chi' to every corner of our living place. That's a general rule that applies to everyone.

I've come to realise that many people like my friends and relatives like to store up unnecessary stuff in their houses especially in their living rooms that are full of redundant and decorative items serving no purpose at all. Some more, they take up space, become dusty and they cost $$. The middle of the room should be left as empty as possible.

Focus on what you CAN do

It's never a chore to keep repeating the benefits of keeping a positive attitude. Sometimes people may get emotionally affected so much that they 'stray' to the negative thinkings. That's why it's good idea to remind people constantly. So remember to keep your thoughts on what you CAN do and have, not on what you can’t do and have.

Is this due to better intuition?

Intuition is a precious gift God has given to us. Somehow, this spiritual gift will fade out as we grow older as we are so busy with our life pursues. That's why those people who have good intuitions are psychics and spiritual teachers.

Recently I feel that my intuition has increased slightly if you take my following example here into belief. Last wednesday, when I was driving home from work, I had a strong feeling that my regular route would be in a jam and normally, this is a heavy but smooth traffic road. I listened to my 'inner call' and diverted to another way. In the end, you know what, i was proved right because there is an accident there and apparently, an hour long jam happened there. Luckily for me, I reach home just 15 minutes later than usual but I didn't have to suffer any bad time caught in a jam!

Is this due to my intuition or just pure luck? I prefer to think it's intuition.

Being careful

My life energy seems to be rather low. How do you tell life energy is low? Marie Callas says when you are feeling dispirited, lifeless, gloomy, or when things look dull no matter how hard you trying to cheer yourself up, that is when your life energy is low. There are many reasons why you are in that state, well, I'm not going into that details as this is not a blog to teach spirituality.

That's why I do my office stuff carefully, looking over line by line and check properly, because Marie says there is a risk of errors when energy is low.

Changing for the better

Hope you have a great weekend celebrating Mother's Day.

Time flies very quickly and now is already at the mid of May 2007. What have I accomplished so far? It's time to sit down for a personal review of our personal objectives. This month is favourable for me to do some re-organisings according to Marie Callas. For me, I have accomplished the goal of being more compassionate and tolerant to my closed ones like family, good friends and colleagues. Yup, I was once a bad-tempered guy. Kids are scared of me and they kept quiet whenever I reached home after work. Those around me said they noticed of the change in me, and since then, I feel that I have achieved more in my work than before. It's the good energies working in favour of me. Thanks Marie Callas for that because I have received a very good rating for my work performance too. That's a very positive signal spiritually.

Beautiful sunset

Isn't this a spectacular picture of the sunset? A friend sent it to me some pictures of Sarawak nature and East Malaysia is one of the most beautiful places in my opinion.

I wish to go there one day. It's still an unexplored place to me.

Dreams and goals

In life, we need to have a goal, a dream or a vision. That is the basic common feature of all successful men, from the past to the present. There is no short cut to greatness or richness. It all started with a seed of dream. Sadly, majority of the people today are living from day to day. Me included. I'd like to change, however, it will sway off course after a few months. It's like driving a car heading to nowhere.

Being creative

I firmly believe everyone is born to be highly creative unless there are some forms of defects which make it unfortunate. My both kids are highly creative, even to the extent of being creative in the wrong areas like ways to make their parents feeling awkward in the public areas. I used to do a test where you answer fifty questions and through the scores, you can know whether you are under which profile, from creative, to mechanical type of person. I have over 70% in the creative sector.

Somehow, I have not felt any creativities in me which I do not why. They say people in this profile sector has new ideas in their head all the time, but somehow, I don't feel anything special brimming inside my brain. Is there anything to worry about? I have another course mate which was in the same profile sector as me and yet he cracked up conversations with exotic themes and ideas. He said that he has many fresh ideas that can make him millionaires. Well, I don't know how he's doing now though as we have lost contact.

Well, coming back to think of it, every one of us was born creative but most of us lost the ability by the time we grew up because of self-imposed restrictions.

Chaotic world

Everyday when I flip open the papers, most of the news are bad news. Explosions, robberies, murders, cheats and rapes. Sometimes I feel sicked reading all these. What has the world come to? Despite the improvement in technology and lifestyle, the ills of the human have increased by folds.

Today I read another story about a woman being violated while her husband went to the toilet at a petrol station. I mean, how can that be? Why the woman went to unlock the car and let the bad guy come in. It could probably happen in less than 1 or 2 minutes.

It will be good there is a power that can protect us from disasters wherever we go. Is there such a power? Well, there are some people predicting the world is going to end as interpreted from the holy book because the world is getting more chaotic under the shroud of the evil spirits. I think that interpretation and prediction have some logical reasoning to it.

My May Day

I spent my May Day resting at home and had a good sleep till 9am! It's a luxury to me to wake up at this time do you know that. Had a nice breakfast with the family at a nearby coffeeshop but it was packed with people. Selling food has never been better because all of us like to eat. It was nearly 20 minutes over when I managed to find a table.

In the afternoon, washed my dirty proton car and it was really dusty inside. I have not cleaned it for nearly 2 months and you can imagine the layer of dirt. By the time I finished polishing it, the sky turn ominous again. The weather has been erratic don't you notice? Has it anything to do with the global warming?

It's just another simple day for me.

A breeze today

Hope you have a nice weekend! I'm surely many of you guys are feeling excited because............ IT'S A HOLIDAY TOMORROW!!... what's your plan for the Labour Day tomorrow? Today my office is really quiet. Nearby 40% of the people are on leave. It's not a surprise that today's morning traffic is a breeze with these 40% of cars less. I reached the office 10 minutes earlier and had time to have a nice warm coffee. Even the workload seems lighter too. Some people whom I need to talk do from other companies are not in.

Treasure your health

Regarding through Marie Callas book on health, I ponder upon that many people who are in their prime years work furiously hard to earn their wealth, and in the process, they neglect what is in fact their most precious asset. One that can't be bought no matter how much money you have. This is especially true in this modern age where the drive for excellence is so strong that people will find themselves bogged down with bed-trodden diseases just when they are about to enjoy the fruits of their labour.

Am I getting too emotional after these few months of spiritual practice? Well we should be balanced if we wish to be truly happy, however, sometime I still can't help to feel sad when I see so few people around me contracting terminal illnesses.

Even when their are cured, they may not regain the holistic nature of their physical bodies due to medical treatments. That is why we should seek to balance our life when we are still able to.

Negativity alll around!

Many times in life I have found that people are worrying about things that might NEVER happen. Do people know that this attract thought waves of the same type and greatly increases their chances of happening because a person gives their attention to it?

I think we should all start practicing the concept of having and expressing gratitude and focusing on the things we do have now to be grateful for instead of focusing on negative things or situations we do not want to happen as what Marie Callas and many great men have always preached.

Sad to say, 80% of the people in this world are negative. That's why the world is full of chaos. Positive people are usually away from the limelight but they are really enjoying their fruits of success somewhere in the world.

I made this post because I have enough of the nonsense in my office and colleagues. Most of them are not cooperating when it comes to teamwork but find faults and picking on minor items just to show how 'good' they are.

My colleague Duang

My colleague Duang yesterday told me while we were having lunch that he too had subscribed to Marie Callas psychic service. I am pleasantly surprised because I had totally forgotten I had talked to him about Marie before. He told me bought the great book of secrets but he has yet to finish reading it all. My advice to him is need to practise with faith and positive mindset and he'll see the changes. Well, it's a good start for him because Marie Callas offers us another way to seek spiritual's guide for luck and fortune other than temples.

My computer

Today I show you my humble computer at my study room. My computer was bought about 2 years ago and that was old in computer timeline. The speed is a Intel 2.8GHz. This is the machine that I use to blog about life here and Marie Callas. It is used by my family too, for their leisure, communications and schoolworks. Sometimes we even had to fight for it and I think it's place is more important that the TV sometimes.

Old buddy

Received a phone call from a really old friend, Chan, yesterday night... He was my old classmate when I was still in the universiti years ago and we were always together with some other pals. It was really a surprise because I thought I had lost contact to him as I heard from other friends he and his family had shifted.

Unfortunately, I couldn't meet up with him yesterday as I need to work 2 hours of OT. But I told him we should go out for dinner together with his family and mine family tonight. Really nice meeting up with old friends :)

As you can see, my lucky star is really improving, even old lost buddy can reappear from no where! Thanks Marie Callas. It's not just all about money. Friendships and relationships are just as important too. Hails to the positive energy in my house.

At the top of the world

A happy news to all Malaysians (hope you view it positively) there because a heroine of this country becomes the first Asian woman to scale both North and South Poles. You can catch her great triumph here at Datin Paduka Sharifah Mazlinda's site.

It is not an easy feat I can tell you because of the highly unpredictable and dangerous icy terrains there. You need a lot of motivation and dedication and you have see it in her as she spent nearly one and a half year training and preparing for North Pole expendition.

In April 2004, she was the first Asian woman to reach the South Pole. It shows that we are made of stern stuff and we will achieve what we want if we set our hearts to the task.

Colleague

Yesterday afternoon one of my colleagues was 'wiped' by my departmental head. From her look after that, I know it is something serious but I don't really want to say any negative things on this colleague of mine here. If eight out of ten colleagues said that her work attitude is not good that means something is wrong apparently.

Well, she is indirectly connected to me as I recommend her to my company half a year ago as she is a friend of my wife. I'm just recommending and the final say is the HR and department head so they can't blame me for that. Blame culture is strong here, mind you. I don't know how she managed to convince my management, probably due to looks?

Batu Cave

It's Monday again and it's the beginning of another new week. May I wish all of you have a great week!

How did you spend your weekend? For me, I brought my family to visit Batu Cave on Sunday. It was rather crowded and the weather was hot by 10am in the morning. There are many tourist buses by the time we were there and the place there was already teeming with activities. The peak period is sometime around Jan and Feb due to the Thaipusam celebrations but I prefer to come by during off peak as it is safer and more relaxing.

Just for your information, Batu Cave is a very holy Hindi shrine in Malaysia and the famous 272 step staircase always poses a daunting challenge for any person with weak knees. Inside the cave, there is a shrine of Lord Subramaniam, a Hindu deity, and many wildlife that find its way in the darkness. Hindu devotees perform annual pilgrimages during the festival of Thaipusam by putting on kavadis and climbing these steps to the temple inside the main cave. I brought my family there to pray for their well-being and for blessings too.

Mentally stuck

Well, after visiting some blogs, I thought mine should look more 'pro' as well just like many other blogs there. A new face-lift you should say. But it didn't realize. Furthermore I found out that I really don't know how to refurnish my blog....haha.... there are a lot of plugins to catch up too.. maybe I shall ask my sister, but I'm putting that away for now.

I think I have to put aside my idea of refurnish my blog.....now need to concentrate on writing something of it. Admittedly, starting is easy while maintaining is a challenge. But I'm very happy to hear the story of the gentleman winning some money, possibly or probably due to the Marie Callas harmoniser? .. I hope that's way it should be.

I'm lazy going around with a cam and posting pics here. It's just not my type.

Numbers in my dream

Do you believe in the magic of numbers appearing in your dream?

Last night, I dreamed of this nice 4 digit number 2610 while I was sleeping soundly. It was so vivid that I thought of this number and wrote it down in my wall calendar. Maybe this is another sign of luck for me from Marie Callas? Is this a clairvoyant vision of mine or a sign that spiritual beings are going to shower me with some abundance?

I'm not sure how it would go but the feeling was really strong. Has anymore made a fortune via the numbers that appeared in their dreams?

Small winnings

Reluctantly, we checked out from the resort on Sunday evening after some really good cooling times up there. It was really packed to the brims and I am extremely delighted! With Marie Callas talisman, I managed to win some money at the jackpot. Hurray, it's RM854!! Not a lot nor little but just enough to keep us happy and fulfilled. It goes without any doubt that as long as you have that positive faith in Marie Callas talisman, you will reap some rewards in what you wish for.

After a good enjoyable weekend, coming to work on Monday morning I feel some tinge of sluggishness. Computer seems to boot up slower and email server connection at warming up speed too. But I'm looking forward to the challenges ahead this week.

Hot weather

The weather is very hot recently and there's hardly any signs of rain. The temperature is in the region of 35 degree Celsius which is something very extremely uncomfortable. Damn...the house aircon is already working over time.

But.... DON'T FRET~!

I'm bringing my family up Genting over the weekend and will come back on Sunday! It's a time for me to spend some time in the casino there too. I just love the jackpot machines there. I hope to have some luck there. Well, I'll be bringing the Marie Callas talisman with me up there to endow me with extra luck!

Getting luckier

Marie Callas says that by removing the block between you and luck, your life will enjoy good fortunes as God wants everyone to be abundant and prosperous. When this block is removed, energy of luck and prosperity will come to you easily. I read this somewhere in one of her products I have subscribed to.

I think my block between luck and me is lowering gradually as I feel I am getting luckier over time. This change in thinking is very important because it defines the success and failure. Most people will utter they are 'unlucky', 'luckless' or 'no luck'. Subconsciously, they are already losing out as this really means luck may not come to them that easily. That's the power of Marie Callas positive teachings!

I say I'm getting luckier is because a traffic police caught me for not wearing the safety belt and instead of summoning me, he just let me go but smiled at me and said "lain kali tak mahu"!

I'm really in luck! Thanks Marie Callas.

Weekend

I spent my weekend at my parent's house in a small town in Johor state which is about 4 hours of drive away from my place. It had been coming to 4 months since I last visited them and of course we miss each other. It was my mom's birthday and we had a nice good dinner and celebration over there. My kids loved the more rural environment there but just too bad that the weather was too hot over the weekend and everyone gets sweaty and smelly easily! You can imagine that!

We had a big family with 9 members and 4 of the siblings stay and work in other towns so it is really nice to meet and catch up. We talked a lot and I shared with them Marie Callas.

I reached home at Sunday night all too tired and thirsty after a long drive. Luckily the traffic condition was okay then. Turning on my computer and check for some emails, watched the Sunday night football but I was feeling too tired by the half time. Decided to go to sleep by 11.50pm.

Delicious food

My stomach will churn whenever I think of them and I'll get hungry. Being a Malaysian, it's great pleasure that this country has really a lot of superb food around from different cultures. There are many excellent food blogs around the place and I think no Malaysian blog is complete without some posts of the yummy local food here. When I travel overseas, I always miss the tasty food we are proud of.

Last night, I brought my family to a local stall selling a lot of local food and I ordered 20 sticks of them because my kids just love it but I forbid them from eating too much as it is unhealthy. I took my daughter's camera phone (Yes, she has a better handphone than me) to snap a couple of pictures of the satays! I think I will look at them when I feel hungry...


Wow, are you salivating now?

We are so blessed! ....... thanks!

Clearing the mess

Since the last clean-up, the mess in my home has once again accumulated quickly and this is not helped by the sooty environment that dissipates specks of dust everywhere. I've already told them not to store unnecessary items in the house because they are fire hazards and also they get in my sight. The temperature here has been very hot at 34 to 35 degree celsius so there's always the hidden fire risk.

As I mentioned before, according to Marie Callas, the extra unwanted mess items in the house will slow down the circulation of the positive energy and it increase the level of stagnation. This is something I don't wish to feel. When there's a mess, it's harder to concentrate and so it's my objective to keep my house clean and tidy at all times.

Ribena in trouble

Ribena, I'm sure almost every adult and child knows about it. I think it's one of the most successful products ever, because I had it since I'm 5 or 6 years old and now, every little kid drinks and knows about it. It's been a fairy tale that goes on since 1930s.

However, Ribena is now in some troubles that may perhaps affect it's rock solid image as a healthy blackcurrant drink for the family.

Two New Zealand teenagers experimented with it with the intention of finding what's is its vitamin C contents as part of their school science assignment actually found that Ribena contains almost no trace of Vitamin C!

My gosh! Imagine i'm been telling my kids not to drink coke, pepsi but ribena because it is healthier!

Some weekend thoughts

Do you know when I have something extra, the first thought that comes is “I wanna bless someone." Especially for my immediate family. My mom had always taught me since young to share your blessings with those around you and I know how it felt like when God bless me and also when others bless me. Nothing beats the feeling of seeing someone happy because of you. It's that humanity that counts.

Now about others. I think the standards of customer service here in this country needs to be improved. Often, I am faced with an uninterested service staff at the shop. Maybe I'm an Indian or am I being too sensitive? I've been to other countries around this region and Thailand gives me the best impression among all. If only we have that service mindset in my blood.

Marie Callas harmoniser continues to work well for me. Somehow I know. There's something much more positive in the air around me. Luck maybe in my house very soon? Or am I dreaming?

Malaysia Microchip

I hate those long queues at the cashier counters of supermarket because in many instances, I got this feeling that those cashier staff are simply going through their motions in their work without any sense of urgency or pride. In the end, the queues get longer and shoppers becomes frustrated by the longer wait.

Therefore, I read this news with a lot of anticipation. It mentions something about using our proprietary RFID technology to solve sticky situations like cashier counter queues, just by a single sweep of a scanning device, all the items in your cart will be registered to the cash registers - you don't even have to remove them from the cart! That's superb, isn't it?

As a proud Malaysia, I'm glad that we are going into RFID technology development like this Malaysia Microchip (or MM Chip) . It's not new but we now boast having the smallest RFID (radio frequency identification) chip (0.7mm x 0.7mm size) with an on-board antenna in the world. Boleh! RFID technology is not new and local drivers have been using it in the Touch 'n Go cards but this MM Chip is a step forward.

I wish to see more of it in our daily applications soon because we are always rushing for time and this will make our efficiency better without wasting unncessary times.

Have you seen a solar halo?

Too bad that it only appeared in Penang. I've never see such phenomenon in my whole life before.

But many in Penang's George Town between 1.30pm and 2.15pm yesterday saw a spectacular rainbown around the sun called solar halo. Understanding it further, the halo was an atmospheric optical phenomenon caused by a refraction of sunlight through ice crystals in the sky. It occurs a few times a year on a hot and clear days but people don't realise its existence as we don't look at the sky during the day.

Those who witnessed regarded it as a good sign because halo in religion and spirituality means holiness and while the sun is a positive source of light and energy. It will bring good luck and fortune to people in the land.

Sister was here last night

My sister came to my house last night to have dinner with us. She stays nearby and I told her to pop over as her husband was overseas for job assignment. She's good in blogging and of course we exchanged some blogging ideas. I think some of the Malaysian blogs are really good and I'm pleased to see that some of them really project the way of Malaysian life really superbly.

We were close since young that's why she's my 'favourite' too. On certain note, she was surprised why I'd become so spiritual in nature and I told her it was because of Marie Callas and her harmoniser. She thought I was joking and I point her to this blog then realise then I could be in for a serious blogging stint about Marie Callas.

Culturally, we Indians have very rich spiritual backgrounds. However, we are the new generation of Indians and we don't have much bond to India except maybe we celebrate Deepavali (they call it Diwali there)too. Most of the time, we speak in a spluttering of Tamil, English and Malay while Hindi is their main language over there. It is just like our Chinese locals in which some couldn't even identify what are their cultural backgrounds. I think some Asians in this part of the world have really detached a lot from the land of originality. Somehow I feel that's sad but what can we do, right?
