Review: The Power by Rhonda Byrne

I've been searching for a book that can make me feel content, happy, and has guidance to a better me. My friend gave me this book two years ago as my Christmas present. Didn't get to read it until lately, coz I was searching for a motivational book. The bookstores had recommended this book and many people had said that it's a good book, so I gave it a try.

When i first read it, I felt that it is somehow different from other materials that you can see online, books or any references that teach you to be happy. Most of them will ask you to find a talent, hang out with friends, don't stay bored, bla bla bla... this book has taught me a very different perspective since the first chapter already! I wanted happiness, I don't want to stay moody, get angry for no reason and feeling lifeless and bored. This book has taught me to LIST and LOVE everything that I like, even the qualities of people that i like! and you must really feel LOVE for that. after that, keep feeling the frequency and leave those things and people that make you produce bad feeling far far away. what it means by far far away is that you give no feeling towards it, not hatred, jealousy or anything - NOTHING. just remember, good things attract good things; and bad things attract bad things. 

i would recommend this book to my friends if they feel like reading a book concerning happiness. i think it doesn't only make you a better person, it also indirectly teaches you to love your body as good feelings need to come from good mind, good words, good deed, and of course, good body. to those who already read the book, keep applying what it teaches and have a good life, wait, a very very good life! :)

bye for now!

To Mr. Inspiration

i just had something to say to you, but i don't know how to begin with, so i wrote it down instead...

in my life, there're some people who can really inspired me and influence me, and one of them is YOU... this is rare. well, not to say that i liked you before this so i think you inspired me, but it's because of your character itself that makes me inspired. i had no reason to tell you why i'm inspired by you, but i know some of the reasons i couldn't tell because it's about a guy who hurt me a lot in my life.

i was a girl who desperately wanting to be loved, and i was afraid to be lonely, still a lil bit like that till now though...i would do anything just to keep my partner happy, and i'll listened to him so that he could just stay by my side. but the more i did that, the more i felt like i was not being appreciated... and there came all the resentful feelings towards him, and i'll still go back to him somehow. feeling helpless... all because i'm afraid to be lonely...so i just listened to my EX.

many once told me this, "Hui Chien, just let him go, don't bother him anymore, don't contact him anymore" etc. it's easy to be said, but it's really hard to be done, just so you know... and i'm really scared coz i've been that way for few years! however, few months ago, i met you... things started to change... to a good side. (if it sounds to cliche i'm so sorry heehee)

i could somehow feel that your words are very motivating. the way you spoke is different, maybe you don't sound like you're blaming like others did. you've heard about all the problems i used to had with the EX, and what you really said that awakened me was the most annoying words i've ever heard in my life. you said something about what i did is not worth the value i had for myself something like that. i was really really angry at you, but i started to think back, maybe it's true... maybe i wasn't respecting myself all this while...

i used to be a happy girl, don't give a fuck on whatever people did, don't care about what people might think and i just love hanging out with my friends so much. and i've changed completely throughout that two years, that two dysfunctional years, because of a man. kinda disappointed with myself, for making myself fall into this state, but what's past is not going to be the future. still recovering from that memory.

i don't know whether you are reading this, but i really wanna thank you for waking me up. thank you for your influence. thank you for making me realize how high value i need to put for myself. don't know what will happen in the future but for now i'm gonna take control of myself. still feel a bit embarrassed though that you forced me to admit that i like you, i hated you for that. should never be so stupid to admit anything to you anymore, lesson learned, haha. i just hope we could hang out like we used to again, relaxing friendship time. just don't relate yourself to my ex again, i don't like you to remind me of him, and you guys are not the same person after all. :) miss you, inspirational friend.

pls don't forget about the scuba diving plan next year! i've been waiting for it for YEARS!!! weee!

Turning 21...

it's been raining every day lately, every evening around 4pm, with thunder and lightnings...
i don't like lightnings and thunders, they made me scared. i don't like it to rain every day either, it makes the weather cool but sticky, and my mood turns to be as gloomy as the dark sky...

i'm turning 21 in two days... wow... i should feel happy, but for real, i don't feel so...
am i weird? i don't know...
21... a very important number. so in Chinese family, usually we'll receive a gold key pendant as a symbol of FREEDOM. so after you get the key, you should have the freedom and you can take control and make decision in your life. i'm not sure whether mom is going to give me gold key, but that doesn't matter, coz i don't really wear accessories... and i think i had enough freedom from her for now...
21... it's the beginning of adulthood. what i mean by that is that i'm no longer a teenager, i can start voting, if i conduct a crime i'll be put into jail, not rehab center... and all sorts of things will change like people will expect you to act like an adult, behave like an adult... oh ya not to forget about credit cards... salespersons start swarming towards you coz you're finally able to be one of their customer! and bills, responsibilities.... etc...

well, i don't know why i'm feeling moody. somehow, i feel like it's a changing point from what i used to be and what i want to be... i wanna be a better person after this of course! have been training for it already... i told my friend that my birthday is coming soon, so excited while talking about it but i just feel that something is missing, and i don't know what is it...

that day is a Thursday, people will be busy with classes, so am i... some of my friends (Fifi and Lily) already gave me my birthday presents as they have left to their hometown for good, i wanna thank them so much! the older i grow, the less i care about the presents actually, as long as you have the heart. but i'll still keep it :) oh yah, that's a Thursday, middle of the semester, when everyone is busy. haha what a good day! -,- i wish i could celebrate this special day with my family but they're not going to be here on that day... my old schoolmates WOPPY, none of them will be here too... and also AWEPIC... some are busy with work, some are too far away, and some even sulk like a kid until today... i would rather change all my presents with their presence, to see me blowing my candles, to watch me grow up...
......it just won't happen, i know... and i'm crying right now knowing that i couldn't get my biggest wish fulfilled. :'(

so dear god, if you can hear me... i just wish that day will be a happy day for me, even though those people can't be here with me on Thursday... it shouldn't be a sad day after all, it's my 21st birthday...

learned something new...

it's a Sunday, my friend Jan Fai could not work today, so he asked me to replace him.
i went to work at 10am today, as usual, unpack the bar counter and place all the Glenlivet whiskey on the bar counters for sampling and display (coz i'm a sales promoter for the brand)

not much thing to do there as the customers in Cold Storage Mont Kiara was quite little, so i brought my storybook Roald Dahl's The BFG to read. suddenly, a man came, and i didn't know he's the ambassador that came to help me to promote the whiskey... haha... things changed after that :)

people start coming to the counter coz of the special things he put in the glasses. we didn't really talk at first, he was looking at his iPad, i was reading my book. then we talked, and i get to found out that he owned a PR company, a restaurant, and he also invested in a wine company and he has a qualified licence for wines and spirit. i think he still has some other businesses but that's already more than i could think of...

he helped me differentiate what's PR, marketing, and advertising. we were talking about which job i wanna find after i graduate that time. interesting topics that we talked about, like LEGOLAND (one of his clients), James Bond and Heineken, and many things... i feel like i'm talking to an encyclopedia... so much of knowledge he has about everything, or maybe my knowledge and exposure to everything we talked were too little, i don't know... hahaha. he also introduced the most expensive bacon in the world which cause RM 36 per 100 gm.. and also the air dried pork cheek... serve it with 12 years Glenlivet Single Malt Whiskey, ahhhhhh heaven... it tastes sweet!

oh i'm so glad i met him today. how i wish i could meet this kind of inspirational, motivational, successful people in my life every week to keep me moving on and know my goals. i'm now inspired! :)

What More I Could Ask For?

things go well this week. i don't know whether it's because i don't really care about the problems, or i'm way too positive or good things really happened to me lately. i kinda feel thankful for it. i do feel emo sometimes especially late night when i can't sleep then i'll start crying of no reason but after that i'm okay. don't worry i'm not 'siao' okay! haha. i cry coz sometimes i'm tired and i miss certain things. but that's not a big deal. since last year's bday i don't know why i feel that i'm always happy. of course i like the feeling and i wish i could have this feeling forever but this is impossible. anyway, i feel glad to have the chance to ask myself "what more i could ask for?" sometimes. i feel like i already had everything. let me count what i don't have.
#1 family - i love them. and we spent lots of time when we're at home.
#2 relatives - lovely ones. brings me out for nice food and gathering and laugh together. and the cute little niece really know how to make us smile :)
#3 friends - i have close ones like a family such as WOPPY, shiyun, liang siang, jonathan, zhi heng, soon keat, hau jack, ginny, zenny, adeline and much more. sometimes i don't really hang out with them but we're still good.
#4 enemies -  i don't really think i have one. or there's ppl hating me that i don't know. but i don't care la. can still learn something from them. bad ppl alwiz have the best tactics. hehehe
#5 money - kaching kaching! enough to use for the moment. i got work, and it feels so good when i buy things i wanted for long time with the extra money i saved for it
#6 lover - single and available at the moment, but of course there are crushes. =D (boyfriends could be annoying sometimes, coz i can't even take care of myself sometimes and i have to take care of another human? my god)
#7 goals - my new year resolution list is prepared. just waiting for it to be crossed out.
#8 desires - it's not good to want too many things right? and not supposed to have it right? that's all bullshiting words. haha. one of them just been acomplished! i get to see Lee Chong Wei playing live again this year, weeeee! love him so much.
#9 results - out of my expectation! weeeeee!
there's still a lot but i think i have an answer in my mind to every problem. not until the standard that i want but it's on the process. if you think i'm boasting, err maybe you haven't feel what i feel? i just feel weird that people around me always feel unhappy about this and that and complain a lot, like really a lot!!! just like how i used to be (oops! heheh) of course now i still complain sometimes but i just don't understand why they complain about things that can't be changed? don't they know when we think positively problems can be solved easier and faster coz we'll have a clear mind? again, i'm thankful that i have this HAPPY feelings lately. muahh muahh. okay lah, it's time to sleep. good night!
