On 14 Feb 2009 Sat morning from 9AM - 12PM, I hold the space for Vision Board Creation Session at my home with few friends. There are 2 main purpose why I organized this session. The first is for myself as I wanna to create my own Vision Board for my life. The second is I wish to add value to my friends by allowing them create their own Vision Board. Finally I make it happened with friends with lots of fun & inspiration. Thanks for my friends who able to show up for the session. I really wish the session able to add value with inspiration.
Here I wish to acknowledge 2 of my friends who shared about their Vision Board and wonderful experience even they can’t make it to come for the session. First is Henry Goh who shared his experience about Vision Board. Few years ago he bought a Mercedes SLK Model with dark blue color. At that moment, he wished to buy this Mercedes car in the future. After that he just put the model aside. After few years when he intend to buy a new car, he was thinking about BMW and went for car test drive. The sales person just told Henry that BMW is very nice car, can buy directly without test drive. After some conversation, Henry felt this sales person was not sincere, he just walked away from BMW and never turned back…
The second option in his mind was Audi car. When Henry went to Audi sales office,there was no body down there to serve him. After waited for 15 minutes, he decided to walk away. The moment he walked out, all sales person seemed just came back from break time. Again, Henry never turned back for Audi again…

This article is inside my mailbox for few years. Now I decided to post this great article at my blog to share with people who knows to read Chinese. This article is sharing about a kid’s hand was stuck inside a vase. The kid was crying as he felt the pain that he could not take out his hand. The mother became more panic when she tried to pull his son’s hand out and the kid felt very painful with crying. Under this situation, the mother was thinking about alternative solution is to break the vase. But the mother was hesitated a while as the antique vase is very expensive. As mother who loves her children, she broke the vase in order to remove his hand out. As long as her son can be saved, she did not care about the broken antique vase anymore. The mother was checking his hand to see any injury. The mother noticed his hand was tight and holding something. He was holding money coin inside his hand. This is why the kid’s hand could not remove out from the vase as he was holding the coin in tight.

Happy New Year 2009 with Love & Gratitude. I just came back from Pahang - Lucky Valley on a Silent Retreat with Deyhana on 1st Jan 2009. This is my second time for the Silent Retreat with Deyhana at the same place since 2007. Year-end Silent Retreat is normally from 29th Dec to 1st Jan together with the New Year count down. I love this Year End Silent Retreat very much as I choose to celebrate my birthday spiritually on 29 Dec, new year count down on 31st Dec midnight in special way and this is time allocated for me to be grounded within myself spiritually. For the past 2 years, I will complete my yearly review as well new year resolution before I went to the Silent Retreat. Simply because I wish to be clear and certain what will be my intention for being there for myself.
Here are the photos I would like to share that I took during the Silent Retreat at Lucky Valley this time for 2008 Year-End:
Here are the photos I took for Silent Retreat at Lucky Valley for 2007 Year-End:

Today I dressed up formally as I am blessed to be invited for sharing as well testimonial for her. Today was simply great and I enjoyed myself. Lots of friends were there to support the event. For those friends are always being together for seminars, we will hug each others when we meet up. It was warm and loving experience meeting up again and again with them.
Here are some photos to share with my friends that i took from my camera.
Few weeks ago when I was at KL, I came across a notice from newspaper about Asimo Roadshow at Malaysia and Asimo is coming to Penang at the end of Nov 2008. I have been heard about Asimo as an intelligent robot with smooth movement like human but never see Asimo in front of my eye before. I know this will be exciting experience to see it moves and possible touch it. The schedule for Asimo Roadshow at Penang is 27-30 Nov 2008 at QueensBay Mall. This is the official website for the Asimo Roadshow. Penang will be the last stop.
You see, the Honda has an empowering slogan: The Power Of Dream. Asimo is great inspiration masterpiece that comes from a simple dream. After Honda success in Motorcycles, Cars and Power Products, Honda then was taking a new challenge in mobility to develop a two-legged humanoid robot that can walk. Honda Robot R&D Team has gone thru more than 20 years since 1986 to keep this dream alive with dedicated efforts, trials & errors, huge engineering resources as well huge financial investment. Yes, Honda has done a great invention that created Asimo. Below is the history of the Robot Development before it becomes Asimo:
A friend of mine Juanita Chin just wrote an inspirational book with title “Inspired To Change” and this coming Sat 29 Nov 2008 will be her book launching at Tanjung Bunga Hotel at 10AM - 12PM. Finally this date is coming as she has informed me about this excited news 6 months ago… Last Sat night, she passed me a copy of her book for me to review in advanced. It is my honored able to read her book before launching…
I would like to invite my friends to be there to listen her inspiration sharing and celebrate her success. Juanita Chin has become Millionaire at the age of 38 with 4 loving kids and supportive husband - Ignatius. Along her journey to success, she does not have any diploma or degree as educational background. All she has is strong desire and determination to success with right attitude and right mindset. There is a saying that “mindset is above everything”. I strongly believe she has put lots of effort, energy and time to work on her mind first.
After completed her formal education journey or SPM, she started working as bank clerk with little salary as RM400 back to year of 1989. After few years working as bank clerk, she has been promoted to be bank officer with salary about RM1000 plus. It was really sad for her after working for few years as she can’t give much money to both of her parents even she has became bank officer. She was only able to save less than RM100 monthly. Life was very challenging for her at that period of time.

Johan is a Malay Boy from Penang I meet last year end during a trip meet up with Uncle Peter at Sitiawan. Johan is amazing young boy that blow my mind about what he had accomplished during his holiday at year 2006. Could you believe a Malay young boy at the age of 8 cycling from Pangkor back to Penang? Peter is an amazing guy as well who cycling from his country Holland to Malaysia and he is traveling across countries with his bicycle. That is his passion to cycling. He is very passionate to share his journey and experience with me but too bad we only have limited time during the trip.
This is Peter and me during my visit to him:
This is the wonderful & meaningful image i got a website would like to share with people. From my own personal experience, I used to searching for Happiness in this reality world from material, money, entertainment, power, ability, talent and so on… Those are desires in my mind I tell myself I will be happy if only i have this or that… I realized that once i achieved it, there is of course satisfaction within but it is not happiness as it can not last long.
This kind of happiness thru outside world is not last long and it has to be depends on something or some people to support it. Once it is gone, the feeling of “happiness” will be gone as well. Example, someone can feel happy and certainty if he/she has lots of money. By having lots of money created not happy as he/she will scare of loosing it. What happened is he/she lose all the money overnight he/she has accumulated for more than 20-40 years?
This is same in love relationship as I used to think that i will feel happiness if I found someone i love and she loves me too. Having love relationship no doubt allow me feel great about myself and love as there is saying ” The Power Of Love”. Important to me it is temporary happiness if the love relationship is managed well. Of course I got to put lots of effort and time to work on it. It will be disaster as well if the love relationship does not work and I got to walk out myself from that relationship and experience. Once again, this kind of expectation of happiness is depends on someone and it is also can not last long.
