Hmm… I’m finding it hard to blog these days. I guess maybe I ran out of things to say. Maybe it’s just a temporary shortage of inspiration to write. Perhaps the blogging part of me is on self-declared hiatus. Whatever it is… I guess I could use a little help here and open myself to suggestions. What do you guys wanna hear from me? ^^
I’ve been reading quite a few self help (ie motivational) books lately in replace of the time spent blogging. The one I’m currently reading is Thought Vibration by William W. Atkinson. I find it quite interesting but with a concept that is a little hard to grasp. It explains a lot about Law of Attraction and how the vibration of good thoughts can change one’s live. Will share with you some interesting facts next time. Very sleepy now…..
Nevertheless, let me leave this post with an excerpt I’ve gotten from another book I’ve done reading:
“We must seek to become imbued with the desire to advance. Everything will then work toward our aid. Obstacles will strengthen our resolve to win. Discouragement from others will only serve to strengthen and to arouse us to a stronger activity. We will see more clearly and understand more fully that every difficulty is an opportunity to advance, every stumbling block is a stepping stone to success.”
What do you do when someone owes you money? Due to my own mistakes (which I take 100% responsibility), someone owes me quite a big sum of money. I’ve tried chasing him in as many ways as I could possibly think of. I’ve been nice. I’ve been nasty. I’ve been understanding and gave him more time. But he breached his promises again and again. I’m so tired of chasing. What should I do now? I really don’t like chasing people for money because negative words will need to come out from my mouth. I don’t like it one bit.
I think I’ll just forget about it. Be patient and see how things go. I believe the money will find its way back to me. I have faith that the Universe will do what she needs to do. I just need to give her time. Meanwhile, I’m going to ignore this. I have abundance. He begged me to be patient. Literally. Maybe I’ll do just that. Miracles can happen. I hope.

Had a day out with XCool today. We watched Despicable Me in The Curve. Funny movie. A lot of slapstick jokes but also coupled with many clever ones. Good! Met up with Alex from Marche for dinner. Had a great time catching up with him. It’s been a long time since I last met him. I really love the Sauteed Mushrooms. Alex told me how it’s cooked. Real simple. I’m soooo going to try cooking them. To top it off, he gave us 50% discount when we were going to settle the bill. Happy day indeed.
This afternoon, after making my rounds in the shop, I went home and received a MSN message from a Uni Friend. She and I used to be pretty close when I was studying in University at Buffalo about ten years ago (wow! ten years! how time flies…). This pretty friend of mine got married last year. After chatting for an hour plus, I asked her some questions about wedding planning and she sent me her private wedding blog to read. It was quite informative and I’m happy that she’s shared her information with me. Planning a wedding involves a lot of things and such information can come in handy. Thank you!
I spoke to XCool and told him I decided to journalize my wedding preparation things in my blog too. However, I would like to keep it private as per his request. Only to be shared with people I know. I’ll be posting a lot of password protected entries by category Wedding soon. Please ask me for password if you’re interested. There will be some very private information. Haha
Last night, I watched Inception with him. Very deep movie with interesting storyline. Leonardo DiCaprio is good, just a bit chubbier now. Haha. Then, there’s also this actor, I forgot his name (something Lewitt), who was from 3rd Rock From The Sun. I used to love that comedy series. He’s so grown up now. Watch it, folks!

Oh Universe, thank you for the sales today. Thank you so much for connecting me with a few other prospects.
After watching those LOA videos, I googled the lady’s name and found her blog. She has some very interesting articles in her websites. I was reading this particular one, which includes a video of Anthony Robbins interviewing John Reese.
The descriptons that she wrote about a Progress makers are very inspiring. Read it here.
Many people know the concept because we’ve read/heard about other people’s success. We acknowledged it but how come only a handful in a million people will practise it. We tend to lose ourselves and that’s why reading these things again and again can help as a reminder.
I am back! Stronger, better, wiser. I will let go of the pain. I know someone out there is making his/her way here. Wonderful! Meantime, I’ll be patient. Thank you, Universe.
Went to sign the S&P and loan documents for our new house. Happy!
Stayed up late to watch the Finals for World Cup 2010. Since Germany is out, I supported XCool’s team which is Spain. Paul the Octopus was right, they won!!! I really like the Goalkeeper, Casillas. He saved so many balls from going into the goal. The look on his face when he held the World Cup up high was priceless. This guy won Golden Glove Award. Nice….
I have a late aunt (my mum’s eldest sister) who cared for us after my mum left. I miss both of them a lot. This aunt of mine is really cute. After my mum’s death, she felt obligated to ensure that both me and my sis will get married. When I was single, meeting my aunt can be pretty stressful. Who said we have to grow up, get married and have kids to feel complete? I have stopped giving myself that kind of pressure long time ago. At that time, I thought….hey.. I’m a great catch, if no guys can see that or treat me right enough, then heck… I’ll just adopt a kid when I’m older and shower him/her with all my love.
That was until I met him. Now, I’ve changed my perception. Life is just better with someone to share all your happiness and sadness (that is if you’ve found someone worthwhile, of course). I never thought I’d marry him after knowing him for such a short time. He may not be perfect but he’s perfect for me. Been reflecting on my life after watching the LOA videos and I feel very grateful to have crossed path with him. Thank you, Universe!
Earlier, I kept telling every single soul I know that I am not excited to have my wedding. All the hassles and spotlights…. Guess I have been really affected by the other parts of my life. Today onwards, I beg to differ. Our wedding will mark the beginning of a happy and abundant life together. I am feeling more and more excited about it now that I’ve changed my perception. I hope he feels the same. I can’t wait for us to set our date and plan the wedding. I have some very interesting ideas and can’t wait to be ….. Mrs Lim. (He has been calling me that in front of his family and never failed to make me blush….wicked!)
At this testing time, I sort of lost myself. This morning, I came across a video, which reminded me of Law of Attraction. An acquaintance posted it on Facebook and I thought it was really helpful. Here it is…
First video… Law of Thinking.
I cannot believe I’ve been focusing on the bad things that are happening in my life. What is wrong with me? I have a lot of good things that are going on…. things that others want. What went wrong? Hmmm…. time to put on the magnet mind again.
Stay tuned for next video….

Last night, I had a great dinner party with my Fookies in 5F house. It was a long-awaited birthday celebration for me and 4F. Food, jokes, laughter…the normal stuff
