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.
