Unbelievable

I got the from a friend. It's funny and don't you think this is really unbelievable? I have no idea where is the place or country though. I hope no one I know will have such attitude in life. :)

End of Compact Discs?

It's Tuesday only but now I have already started counting down to the weekends. Feel kinda guilty but hey isn't that's life supposed to be if you are just a normal 9 to 5'er? How many of you can really proclaim you enjoy your job? Maybe 1 out of 50 or 100 perhaps. I am a person who is dedicated but I do not love my job. Do you think that is contradictory? In certain sense perhaps.

I once read, do not fall in love with a company because in this age of technological progress, what is normally certain a couple of years back may no longer be certain today. Just to take an example. When compact discs were released in late 80s, it heralded the end of the cassette tapes. CD's were the new toy for everyone then. In barely 5 years of its release, the much loved cassettes were already near the end of life. CD's had its heyday from mid 90s to sometime 2004 to 2005.

By 2007, the sales of CD's had dropped dramatically I suppose. I no longer buy CD's for more than 12 months because I can always get the legalised songs through MP3 in websites. Another reason is because CDs are too expensive here! Even favourite store like Towers Record had decided to call it a day! In 2007, we should expect to see more albums released CD'less and only available through online MP3 stores like iTunes. If you need a hardcopy to keep, you may have to settle for a DVD that come with more contents.

I will surely miss those days when I was younger in those music stores browsing for the CD's of the favourite artistes.

Some thoughts

The precious weekend went by fast and right now it is already Monday morning. I am catching up on my blog discreetly here in my snug office corner feeling invigorated and well rested. I am 20 minutes early today because I needed to drive my car to a nearby petrol station to top up the gas and usually there is a queue but today it was weird that I had my turn fast! Well, I admit I have not been posting as much as I like, not because I do not want to just that sometimes I have that feeling of information voidness when it comes to my blog.

My sister told me I could write about anything in life, however I am not the type to feature every moment of my time right here. This blog is mainly devoted specifically to Marie Callas and how she's benefitted my life. The other day I just made a post at MyStar online portal to rebut some claims about Marie Callas. I do not understand why some people find her service to be that kind and yet she has helped me so much.

Spiritually her teachings have renewed me much more than my own religious belief. As long as I find her to benefit my life, I will continue to render my support as well as referring friends who may need her service to them.

Now, today I read that the warming of the Indian Ocean in the past 20 to 30 years – brought about by global warming – could have played a part in the unusual weather which caused flooding in Johor and other parts of Malaysia, as reported Star newspaper. This indeed is something sad because I feel the nature has been steadily being degraded by human developments over the last one hundred years or so and now many countries are facing unpredictable climatic conditions and if this continues, it is going to harm many of our future generations. I hope some momentous laws will be passed soon, either politically, environmentally and technologically, to safe our planet from further degradation. I also pray that the flood situation will get better and better everyday because many homes are destroyed.

All right, I manage to complete this post in over 15 minutes and now I am off to some serious office stuff. Have a good day :)

Reading daily

I have been reading daily the Marie Callas instructions even though nothing has happened since the last time I won the lottery up to now, but I would like to thank Marie Callas very much for her guidance, particularly for the book with the special collection of secret teachings. It is so wonderfully written and so vividly described that I felt joy whilst reading it. I do share it with my family and they agree wholeheartedly.

Talking to a colleague and realise..

I talked to a young colleague who is just 22yo. After talking to her, I am very surprised at how many younger people believe or in fact, feel annoyed but don't do anything about it, that there is someone watching out for them and their careers. All the time and to the verge of taking over their lifes. Maybe it is because of their “helicopter parents” who hover around, always watching and advising their children. Some of these parents are even insist to attend schools with their childeren just for the sake of looking after them.

Maybe we all have a secret desire to win the lottery (you may approach Marie Callas for her help). Lottery can be of any sorts, from in terms of money, fame or an event that makes you to stardom. We believe that someday, somewhere, someone is going to walk up to us and say, “you are so naturally charismatic that I am going to select you for this Next Big Thing.”

I will advise people to get their own breaks. And start to plan early while you are young. Meet and network and, work and opportunities will naturally flow to those who demonstrate that they can handle it.

Profile of a Malaysian blogger

According to a report last November, if I am a Malaysian and I have a blog, the odds are that I will be a woman and aged 25 or under. It is also found that about 64% of the Malaysian bloggers are ladies and 74% are under 25! In fact, nearly 41% of those who online blog regularly. So how do I fit in?

Seriously I can't see why nowadays people are so attention craved. I have read some news reports that there are full time bloggers earning thousands per month! I as quite astounded to say. As for me, I am 33 years old, male, and very new to stuff about blogging. It was my sister who taught me what is blog, blogger, how to attach pictures and the do's and dont's of blogging. Oh yes, she's Malaysian and she's under 25. Do you see that? I guess I really have a lot to pick up because things online move really fast. Last talked to her, I heard some terms like RSS, digg, furl, del................... I feel like a dinosaur.

She told me you need to have some specific subject to blog about, and if you have several topics to rant about, you can divide the blog into categories if you are lazy to maintain a few blogs at the same time. I thought about that hence I just focus on Marie Callas.

However, I am already facing that feeling of 'emptiness' to continue with logging. Sometimes I just do not know what to put in the blog! The general profile of the bloggers primarily do it for entertainment and to share their lives with family and friends.

The report also says that most blog visitors like to read stories and enjoy the pictures posted by
the blog owners. I guess my blog is too dry and bland so I hope I have some nice pictures to post.

Intuitive Energy Insights: Portrait of a Psychic / Intuitive

Many people ask me how I started doing this work.

As a child, my earliest memory is being 3 years old and telling my mother things that I could not have possibly known. I would tell her stories about ladies she socialized with and various relatives. At first she thought I’d ‘overheard’ this information, but then realized that the stories were ones that were shared when I wasn’t there. I told her how the people felt, and about other people connected to them that I had never met. Eventually she became ‘used to’ my stories and knew I had something that was special.

Knowing things about people unfortunately brought sorrow to me early on in life when I ‘knew’ that my father was going to die. I was 7 years old. The day he died, my mother came to pick up my brother and me from elementary school. I already knew what had happened.

All though school, I knew what other people were feeling. Mostly I felt flooded by emotion, often reacting to feelings I’d ‘picked up’ from others. I didn’t know what was wrong with me. I thought I was a basket case.

After these and many other experiences, I knew that I had to learn about what was happening to me. So, at the age of 17, through a series of highly synchronistic happenings, I began an internship with an Intuition specialist to learn about and hone my abilities.

During my training I began to understand some of what I went through as a child. I analyzed myself as I learned. To this day, I still work to sort myself from others’ feelings. I am more conscious of it now and it is relatively easy to sort.

My training was ‘hands-on’ in that I worked along side my mentor as he consulted with clients. I watched, studied, learned and joined the consultation. I explored their energy field, their issues and complaints (with their permission of course). This was my best form of training. Eventually I began to take over the consultation sessions, slowly building my own clientele as I trained.

My abilities fall under several categories, clairvoyant, clairaudient and clairsentient. Clairvoyant, meaning ‘clear seeing,’ is the ability to have visions or ‘see’ a psychic impression. Clairaudient, meaning ‘clear hearing,’ is the ability to ‘hear’ psychic information from another’s energy field or from higher guidance. Clairsentient, meaning ‘clear feeling,’ is the ability to ‘feel’ or sense the energy field of another and experience psychic impressions in an emotional or physical way.

My brother has a similar gift. We like to say he has ‘radar’ or his ‘antennas are on’ because he just ‘knows’ things. My abilities are similar, but are enhanced in the realm of sensing what is taking place in a person’s electromagnetic energy field. I am an Energy Intuitive, ‘seeing’, ‘knowing’ and ‘feeling’ others. Intuitives are not mind-readers. We are highly sensitive beings that have learned how to synthesize the information that we sense around us.

My training taught me to hone into the core of what is taking place in someone’s energy field. This ability allows me to get right to the center of an issue. The source may be karmic memory (past life related), childhood patterns, emotional overwhelm, mental confusion, etc. It may even be emotion that source’s from another person (like a child feeling a parent’s feelings).

I actively read anything I could get my hands on about intuition, counseling techniques, self-help books, meditation, etc. I took training courses, earned a degree in psychology, went on retreats, participated in workshops, learned breathwork, I even hosted my own meditation group. I gathered tools, tips, techniques and methods to develop my own intuition and I began to teach others. My internship lasted 5 years and by the time I completed my training, I had a full client list.

People of every walk of life are interested in learning about their intuition. Mostly, they are looking for answers. They have questions within themselves, feel conflicted and confused---- without answers! Ultimately they want to feel better. They are looking for a way to feel better about themselves, get past their fears and begin moving forward in their lives. They want more and don’t know how to get it.

During the coaching / intuitive counseling process, we begin sorting through the emotions, mental chatter and confusions. Collectively we analyze their current situation, the echoes of the past that are influencing them, and then develop an active approach to move forward and transform their lives.

My own intuitive energies come forth, guiding them and directing their inner quest. As intuitive messages come forward, I deliver them and help the client to surface the emotional / mental / physical / spiritual pieces involved to catalyze a transformation. The working plan of action may include various assignments and tasks for them to complete along with goals to work towards.

In this work, I promote active participation in clearing inner chatter and identifying old patterns. Intuition is an inherent trait within us all. Learning to listen to it, work with it and create life changes out it is a powerful experience that brings many rewards.
