Mike Horn



For some of us, we might not know this guy, Mike Horn. Recently, my friend mentioned about him because her son was selected to be part of his Pangaea expedition team for his mission. Because of my curious nature, I went ahead to ask my friend more about this Mike Horn and google about him.

He is very an incredible explorer man and his passion of saving the planets and touched everyone to follow his mission to pass down to the younger generation to teach them to save the planet and reserve the nature which is destroyed by mankind. To know more about him, you can go to http://www.mikehorn.com/en/mike-horn/who-is-mike-horn/


I like the quote that he states below:
"The impossible exists only until we find a way to make it possible", Mike Horn


Admired those teenages that went with him on this mission. He is really a life example that make the impossible into possible. If you break up the word impossible into i-m-possible is just like what Mike Horn has said finding ways to make it possible.

Added Member in my Family

Haha, you all might be guessing who is this new member to my family, is my sister's baby...not exactly truth, only half-right. Is her new baby, but is the new kitten that she adopted from her neighbour. My sister likes cats very much, even though she got bitten by cats when she was young.



I show you the photo of her new kitten. Do you all think is this kitten cute? I personally dislike cats and can admit I am afraid of cats but I don't not know why. I find it quite weird like a cartoon i saw on the television but can't remember what is the show that I was.

Actually my mum disagree with my sister having the kitten because we all thought that my sister is planning to have baby, now she get herself a kitten. But i think that having a pet, the burden is not as great as having a child. Can you imagine the cost of having a baby,especially in today's society. From the day you expect the child until the child is born to this world, there are a lot of cost involved and the future education fee and a lot of things have to consider. Wow, I think that parents are "wei da". And now parents in today generation have more burden to shoulder on unlike our ancestors. Our standard of living had raised tremedously over the years and I think that they are being sandwiched between their own parents and their children. Because not only they have to raise their children, they also have to contribute to their own parents. Unlike in the past, raising children seem to be easy, imagine our grandparents can have at least 5 children in the family. I can't imagine how my grandparents can have ten children...maybe that era, no much entertainment and nothing to do at night. "Laugh".

But just a reminder to those who keep pets, they must have the same mentality of keeping their pet, like raising their kids. Cannot dispose them off if they don't like them anymore. This is what I told my sister about this issue when she plans to have a baby, what she going to do with her pet. This is something she did not really think about.

Learn to Put the Glass Down

Recently i am caught up with a lot of tasks on hand, quite stressful. I came across this article when i was reading the morning newspaper on the train. Before I shared the story, i want to ask you how much do the glass weighs? Later you will know why i ask you this question. Read further and you know why.

Here is the story:

One day, the Professor held up a glass of water and asked his students: "How much do you think this piece of glass weighs? A lot of students give different answers.

He continued: "What would happen if I held it up for a few minutes?

"Nothing". Said the students.

"Now, what if I held it up for an hour?" "Your arm would ache." "What would happen if I held it up for a day?" His students replied laughingly. "Your arm will go numb, you may have severe muscle stress and paralysis, and you may have to go to the hospital.

The professor then asked: "During all this, did the weight of the glass change?" "No". came the answer. He asked"What should I do to stop the muscle pain? A student replied: "Put the glass down."

From this story, it made me realise the simple truth of handling problems in life. If we think them for more than a few minutes and our head begins to ache. If we hold the thoughts even longer and they will start paralyze you. Like what my friend shared with me before, think too much, you become paralyzed. *Laugh*

Although it is important to think through the problem we are facing, but it is important to learn to put the glass down at the end of the day. This is easier to say than done, but this story reminds me to focus on the big picture, rather than letting these small matters to affect me.

Stress in today's society is inevitable, is just that how we handle our stress and cope with it. In Tokyo, there is one shop called Venting Place where all the stressed workers threw the crockery against the concrete walls as a form of releasing stress. So how cool is that? (You can watch the video at http://www.mikesblender.com/indexblog201.htm).

As for me, my way of releasing stress is eating chocolate or ice-cream. That why i am fat. I remember one of my favorite author Barbara Enberg: "Stressed spelled backwards is desserts" So is desserts' time? Ice cream, anyone? Yummy!

Welcome to Singapore, Shaun!

Today, I together my group of friends from the Twalk program are going to support our Mentor, Shaun Stenning. He is coming today to present to the public on his program.

We are part of his Singapore clients and we are here to support him. This is my first time taking internet marketing course and with Shaun. I still remember the time that Shaun presented on stage, really inspired me and let me reflect about the goals in our life. I signed up the course as I feel that Shaun is a really sincere guy and he goes all out to help me together with his beautiful wife, Stephanie and his brother, Matt and the whole group of twalk team. I really their support team as they are always there to help us to resolve problem as we meet along.

Just really want to thank Shaun and his team. Thank for giving us a chance and make a difference in our life. Life will never be the same again. Awesome.

Routine

I find this interesting clip in youtude. The creative director wanted to demonstrate the kind of lifestyle that majority of us have in our daily life that is "Routine". He had put it into the sketch. When i watched this video, i realised that part of my lifestyle is what exactly displayed in the sketch that is "Wake Up, Go to Work, Lunch, Go Back Home". Does this scenario sounds familiar to you. This is what most of us are going through, is it? Like our journey everyday Mon to Fri is Home to Work-Work to Home, except for the weekend, we go and have fun. I can't imagine I wanted to walk through my next 30 years of my life just work to home, home to work. I will find this kind of life very monotonous and lack something in it. Doesn't we want to have a more exciting life? That is why I wish to have more in my life and now I am working on my twalk program to gain the kind of lifestyle that I want..that is to travel around as I want. I believe the outside world is big for us to explore more great and interesting things or places, rather than just staying in this small little red dot.

I Wish To Have More

Time really flies. Its 31 May...so fast..to me, it only remind me of my month-end report...got to finish to submit to the client..oh gosh...

A lot of my friend told me that accounting life is good, as they are paid well, but I don't really think so because the amount of time we put inside the work and if we divide out by the number of hours, it is not worthwhile the time to do it. Its not that I am a practical person, is just that sometimes I find that I put in so much time at my daily work, who I am helping to get rich? It is my boss, not me. I am helping them to mind their business, instead of I minding my own business. Thanks God, I have read this book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, by Robert T Kiyosaki, that made me realise what I have been doing all these years.

I don't mean that having a job is not good, but I feel that it is not as secure as we think it is. We will never know when our bosses will need our services if the economy don't do well. I encountered that before when I was working in the bank, I saw people who are in the middle age, got retrenched...and some find quite hard to look for another job...this is the harsh fact of the society. I don't want to be like them in the future..

That is why I wanted to get myself a backup plan, which can allow me to earn extra or the passive income not just replying on my current work. That why I went to GIS in December to see what are the alternative I can have to get multiple sources of income, instead of just relying on my earned income. And thanks, I found one that it suit my lifestyle, that is Twalk Program...which is automated cash machine.allow me to generate my passive income...I started to learn how to use the program. It's so cool.. Thanks to Shaun Stenning..i remember his word..life will never be the same again..I am looking forward to that.

Winners Vs Losers

"The real winners in life are the people who look at every situation with an expectation that they can make it work or make it better."

Barbara Pletcher
Author


Today I come across this quote, quite meaningful. I think this is the attitude of the real winners in life, always of thinking of ways how to get it or make it better. This makes me think of when people are playing cards, they will blame their luck on having such bad cards on hands, without thinking of strategy to win the game and they choose to give up. This is what I called losers. Losers always find excuses to avoid responsibility or give reason to justify themselves or blame others, hence they will never progress in their lives. I feel that in life is also the same, sometime we blame our parents not being rich, not from the well-to-do families or others, instead of looking forward what we can do to make our situation better. That is the spirit of the winners. So are you a winner or loser?

It's My Pay Day

Today at least is the Pay day...I can see during the pay day, everyone is happy cos our salary is being credited into our accounts...

But my happiness is just for a short period because the pay day can also be my bill day because got a lot of bills waiting for me to clear...How I wish the bills are turning into cash...(Fat Hope, stop dreaming)*Laugh*

This remind me of my friend tell me of this phrase, 月宽主,hope I type the chinese character correctly. This means that at the beginning we receive our pay check, the money will diminished at the end of the money and restart all over again. Like cash in, cash out.

That why I really find hard to save..I don't know whether you are having the same states as me...always save a little for myself after deducting the loan and monthly bills. Sometimes I wish to have more...



but cannot expect boss to give me increment every now and then...Like what Einstein said about the definition of insanity...is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results? I sometimes admitted that I complained that my salary is not enough and I can't expect to have more if everyday I are doing the same old job, I can't expect to have more money come to me rite..Luckily got to understand this quote and start to change my thinking..If you are unhappy with your situation, don't just sit there and do nothing but complaining, we have to think of ways how to achieve the things you want..sometime you discover more things along the way...you never expect...

I Love Little Bali !



Last sunday, I went to this Little Bali together with my friends to celebrate one of our friend's birthday cum gathering session. The Little Bali is located at (A Lock Road, Guilman Village. You all should try to go there to experience it..Thanks to my friend, Lidan for organizing this dinner at this place.

Wow, this is my first time at Little Bali. I don't now that Singapore got such a nice place. The ambience is so special as the owners have put in effort to make the place so cosy and relaxed as if we are in the resort and nearer to the nature. You can view more pictures at their website @ http://www.littlebali.com. I am someone who like nature very much and can get to receive negative ions..*haha*

For me, I also did enjoy the foods cos they served different varieties of food as they got Indian, Bali, Indonesian food. But just that the prices are quite expensive because we have to take into account of the ambience...so I think is worth it to go there and for guys, maybe can bring your girlfriend there, she might like it..

Really like to have the kind of feeling of going to such the restaurants without having to see the right hand side of the menu (*that is the price list*), because we have to choose the one that suit our budget instead of picking the one that we really like and eat as we like without to worry about the cost. So I must work hard to obtain my passive income through Twalk program so that I can bring my parents here to enjoy the ambience plus the food here.

Hurray, Boss is Not around...

Today, I am very happy because my boss not around in the office. He went to Australia for business trip for this full week..so I can have some time to do my own stuff.

I went surfing net to research on my dream board. It's time for me to redo my dream board. I have did it one year plus ago.

My first goal is to make the money from Twalk Program and go to Hong Kong for Holiday. Even though I went there before in 2001. But I still went to go there but this time the money to spend is from my passive income from my twalk program. I budget about 10,000 include the air ticket, accomodation, transportation, not forgetting shopping and eat...these two are my favorite activities. I planned to go there for one month..which is in July 2010..Wow..I realised got things to plan..especially which area to go first. Maybe can my friend to show me around.. :=)

For those, who want to go Hong Kong, can visit the website http://discoverhongkong.com.
I loves google. It is my best friend, whenever i want to add to my "I wish to have more" wishing list, I just google it, and also find my pictures just typing the word into the search box and the information is right in front of you.

Welcome to Hong Kong!!!!
