Went for a business meeting with XCool in the morning. After that, we went to The Curve to pick up something I’ve won from a small contest. We hung out in Starbucks for the remaining of the afternoon. He was doing his work so I took the opportunity to go…..shopping!!!
It has been a while since I had my retail therapy. I needed new shoes for the upcoming wedding season. i have so many weddings to attend in the next few months. I didn’t only buy one shoe but three shoes!!! Haha. Happy! Gotta love them shoes. I was very tempted to buy more. Everything look so good but I figured I’ll buy more when I make more sales. Now I have new shoes for every occasion. Wanted to get a new dress too but didn’t find anything suitable.
I’ve read something about criticism and how it affects one’s behavior. I felt as though there was an invisible slap to my face when I realised that I fear criticisms. This is not a good thing because it prevents me to move forward or take risks. Although I would say that I’ve been a lot better, I still have lots of improvements to make. I must learn how to accept other people’s criticism but not let them affect me too much.
There are some things I’m trying to decipher. I’m a little confused… Big decisions need to be made. Universe, please guide me. I want to find my answers. Thank you, Universe!
This morning, I logged into my online banking wanting to pay my monthly car loan installment. To my delight, I have one more month left and I’m done with the loan. Yay! Then I went into a deeper thoughts…. it has been 5 years! It has been half a decade since I came back from USA.
Around this time, 5 years ago, I made a decision to come back to Malaysia for good. I was in the US for exactly 5 years too. I spent 2 1/2 years studying and the other 2 1/2 years working as a programmer analyst. Time really flies. People always asked me if I missed USA. The answer is Yes and No. YES – I missed the easy lifestyle in USA but NO – I’ve never once missed my living conditions in that 5 years. Life was too easy that I was complacent and life in a comfort zone. There wasn’t much growth and life was mundane. Everyday was the same. I did not have a large social network (not even a small social network). I remembered back in those days, I always hoped for a larger network but it never came to me. I used to drive myself to the library just to expose myself to more people but finding myself not connected to any of them. I remembered driving around alone trying to break free.
Today, I felt that life is a lot better. I have more freedom to do what I want to do. Freedom is the best thing. I’ve learnt so much in these past 5 years despite having to learn it the hard way sometimes. I just glad there are growths in terms of my career, relationship and everything else. I also am more joyful these days. Instead of living in other people’s expectations, I determine my own life. I love it. I love the feeling of sucking in all the good things and enjoying what life has to offer. I am grateful that the Universe has awarded me with a wonderful supportive man, who loves me just the way I am. I love my family and friends who always stood by me, loving me unconditionally. I appreciate the Universe for always giving me what I ask for. Thank you, Universe!
Even though I didn’t like the way I lived my life when I was in USA last time, I like the general lifestyle in USA. If I have a chance to return and stay there for a while, I am sure things will be much much better.
Yes!!! I’ll be free from bad debts after next month. Finally! ^^
This week had been a really busy week. I have no complaints, though. Why? I’ll you why. I’ve closed my first sale in the new career I took up!! But wait… don’t be too happy yet. It’s not only one sale but TWO! Wahahahaha. Happiness. I’m really beginning to enjoy the rewards from this new part-time career. I have clients coming to me voluntarily either to help them or to help their friends. It’s a great feeling to be able to contribute by doing what I like the most. No rest for the weekend yet. I’m taking care of my shop as I’m writing this blog entry. Tomorrow is Sunday and I only get a half-day rest. I have a meeting with another prospect at night. Money is pouring in while I’m doing what I love. Thank you, Universe!
Another highlight for this week -> we’ve identified another possible part-time business to go into. He’s working very hard to research on this new thing. It’s his specialty. I see a lot of opportunities in this. Today I called an ex colleague of mine (also my MM friend) and I found out that he left rat race few weeks ago. I’m so happy for him! Also, I am not sure if I’ve mentioned this but my dear friend Pei San left rat race last month too! Couldn’t be happier for them. Enjoy the freedom, folks!

Things are looking up. I think the lessons I’ve received from Abraham-Hicks really brought me back up again. I feel so lucky to have friends who are approachable and constantly remind me what life is really all about. Thank you, Universe!
In Abraham-Hicks words, I learnt the normal Law of Attraction things that I’ve already known. In addition to that, the new thing I’ve learnt so far is to let my emotions be the guide. Just like how a sculptor will use their hands to mould their art into the shape they want, we should listen to our emotions and let it be the guide to mould the energies towards what we want. We should be alert of how we feel at all times. If you have negative feelings, try to acknowledge that and then divert your thoughts to something that will bring back the happy emotions.
I have many more audio tracks to listen. Will share with you more as I go along. Everyday, I try to be positive and just let things go. I think he has caught up with my energies and also work towards more improvements. I’m happy to have a soon-to-be husband who is so understanding and flexible. The fact that he’ll listen to me and reflect on himself makes him different from all the guys I’ve ever dated. He’s here just to accompany me while I take care of my shop for long hours. I’m smiling while I write this. Thank you, Universe!
My darling is not feeling well… Here’s a little something to cheer him up. The happy kitty song from The Big Bang Theory. Man… I am so addicted to this TV show. Gotta finish Season 3 and I’ll be done for a while. Tsk tsk. I wonder why this series never got to Malaysia. The jokes are really clever and refreshing. Sheldon is funny!
oh by the way, the funniest episode I’ve watched so far was when Leonard’s mum visited them. I was tearing when I laughed yesterday night. Hahaha. Gotta love them nerds. There’s no embedded allowed so go watch it here….
I’m gaining a lot of new perspectives by listening to Jerry and Esther Hicks audios on many of their Law of Attraction books. I’ve been listening to them when I drive these days. Thank you for the audios, sis.
Yesterday, I attended my high school friend’s wedding dinner with XCool. This friend of mine is one of the most successful friend I have from high school. He started “building his empire” even before leaving school. Now, his company Macro Kiosk Berhad is expanding. Very happy for him.
The wedding was nicely planned with heavy decoration details, good food, nice entertainment and etc. It was also sort of a high school reunion. I met a lot of my ex school mates, whom I haven’t seen since Form 5! Feels kind of awkward but awesome. Some are married, some with kids, some put on weight, some lost a lot of weight and so on.
Two days ago, I had a minor hiccup for my shop. It was Raya holiday and my santan supplier told us at the very last minute that he cannot supply santan for a few good days. (I’ve sacked him for unreliability). I had to source for santan last minute and went to this shop in Klang. While waiting for the uncle to prepare my santan, I walked to the next door shop selling chinese praying props. Guess what was displayed on the counter? The chinese almanac!!!
Yes!! The chinese almanac for 2011 is out! Yay! I quickly bought one copy and called my feng shui consultant to meet up. Universe has a way to make things happen and I think this was meant to be. Since my feng shui consultant wasn’t able to find the book herself, she said i’m the first person she’ll be picking 2011 dates for. Took her a long time to pick a nice date for us. The date she picked was an ideal date for wedding because it has a lot of good stars. She showed us all the chinese-worded explanations in the almanac and I agreed with her. It’s going to be awe …….. (wait for it) ….. some!!!
So …. friends, the date is set! More information later The feng shui consultant also told us that there’s this new hotel offering good rates if we sign up with them early. XCool and I went to check out the place yesterday and felt very excited. The extra money we saved could be used for other things to make the wedding more awesome. Or, we could spend more for our house. Happy! We’ve been scouting for venues even before the date was set and I was feeling a little upset because our budget allows a restaurant if I want my type of deco (or a hotel but with standard deco). But now, I can have it all – hotel venue and awesome deco! Thank you, Universe!
Another wedding gift/blessing from Universe (first being the house at good price). I’m grateful for that. Please continue to guide me into finding all the things I want for my wedding, house and career. I feel alive and strong. Thank you again, Universe!!!
Plenty of time to plan my wedding. For now, I will focus on my career and looking forward to close a few big sales deal this month starting from this Friday. Thank you, Universe!!!
Lately, I have been relying on feel-good movies/shows to pick myself up. It helps me to maintain the positive and happy momentum. My brother has recently graduated from UK and he came back for good. With him, he brought back TV comedy series. There are awesome. Whenever I feel stressed out, I’ll just play one and laugh at it.
Here are my two favorite characters from the two series I’ve been watching …
‘Barney Stinson’ from ‘How I Met Your Mother’ explaining the relation between a chick’s hotness and craziness.
‘Dr. Sheldon Cooper’ from ‘The Big Bang Theory’ wearing the t-shirt I fancy most probably explaining some intellectual (geeky) physics theory of his.
Not forgetting the really funny video of Robin Scherbatsky a.k.a. Robin Sparkles’ teen popstar MTV. Hahaha….funny.
Okay. I’m hooked….. I have a few more seasons to go and then I’ll stop. Just really need something to make me remember not to take life too seriously. ^^
Had a good night sleep and woke up energetic today. I’ve been running around like…. (Second thoughts coming). Okay. Enough about all the things that have been happening. I’m just happy that I can put all this in the past.
….. (went out to run some errands)
Okay. I’m back. Today is a happy day. Here’s a song that makes me want to dance whenever I hear it. It’s a pretty old song, I know.
Busy day ahead. No more time to spare for blogging. Have a nice day, folks!
