Aloysius' shower time.

Aloysius had been crying very hard when it’s shower time since we came back from KL. When we were at our relative’s place, the shower room made noises when the shower was turned on. Aloysius was very afraid. Despite that, I still showered him. I think I had hurt him some how. He had been crying during shower for a week. He stopped till I followed what Shichida mentioned in his book. I apologized to him when I was giving him a shower. I told him that mama is sorry if mama has hurt you during your shower. I asked him for his forgiveness. It worked immediately! I was amazed! He not only did not cry in his shower, his love playing with the pail of water is back. He played with the toys and water for another hour, and now I have difficulty to convince him to get out after shower. Hope this mini-story will help some parents out there to deal with some problems with their toddlers.

Oh yes... I am having some challenges with potty training. I just bought a book from Borders this evening :) Or rather yesterday evening. Prof. Shichida haven't gone into the details of potty training in his books. I only know that it's a respect to potty train our child. Later all... I am going to sleep already. My twins are kicking me, probably rushing me to bed...

I have a millionaire mind!

Hahaha… Maybe I am having a fever to have this sentence. I just attended “The Millionaire Mind Intensive” by T.Harv Eker over the weekend. It was a 3 days intensive seminar from 9am till 11pm everyday. Phew… I survived the whole seminar and had a photo with T.Harv Eker. Hahaha… If you are already a millionaire, you may say “chey”, but I am not yet a millionaire :) But I will certainly get there with the new franchise trading international business.

The most impactful segment is the arrow breaking whereby I gotta point the sharp end of the arrow at the softest spot just below our neck, and a partner holding the other end of the arrow. It took me two tries to break it. This segment is about fear, how fear can hinder our own success. I still can remember Harv said that we usually make decision based on fear and guilt. Hmm… Very true for me. Quite similar to what I have learnt in the psychology of vision, but this is more detailed. We signed up for the “quantum leap”, a series of courses and workshops spread out throughout 2008. I decided to sign up on the spot after Harv said, “Decide without fear!” I think I have fear of success. I am fearful of earning more money than I need. It got worse when I got stuck with my paper chase. That’s the first major failure I have in my life. I have fear of failures too. How ironical, isn’t it? I realized that when I was carrying out the arrow breaking segment. I am fearful of success due to my childhood past. When I was young, my dad not only had to feed our own family, he gotta feed several families. It’s families… Priorities are given to the education of the boys, which me and my sisters are not. Anyway, I managed to break the arrow! I just gotta keep moving forward without thinking too much. It’s amazingly easy! After the first try, there are people around me who told me that I can be excused cos I am pregnant. Then I thought, I have been giving lots of excuses not to go forward in my life already, and I must stop all the excuses now. Hence, I gave it another try. I was very lucky that I had a very supportive group of people to cheer me on too.

I am very much looking forward to the next workshop by T. Harv Eker end Jan 08. It will be the first in Asia, so T. Harv Eker will train the participants personally, which I think it will be the best. I only go for the best ;)

We have started the 90 days wealth conditioning program :). I will read the attitudes of wealth declaration daily, a few times a day. For the past two days, I read them to Aloysius too when he’s asleep :) Maybe I should make that into flashcards. Hahaha… Some may say it’s my flashcards craze again. I have thought of making Dale Carnegie’s “teachings” into flashcards for my children too. That is yet to materialize. I need time for myself to do that to make creative cards.

On the second day of the seminar, I met Dr. George Lim, the founder of WBG. He just came for no reason, met me, spoke to me and left. Did heaven arrange this “coincidence”? Maybe. He seems like a messenger from heaven to me. It’s very strange. Everytime when I have decided to give up my doctorate, he will appear. It’s like he’s haunting me. Hahaha… This is not the first time already. I had some thoughts about the doctorate again. He told me that when I am lost and do not succeed, all my siblings will follow suit, cos I am the eldest. Stress eh? Indeed it is. But it’s very true. He can be a fortune teller already. Hahaha… And my failure is draining my hubby’s energy too :( He’s very chim too. There are certain things from him which I dun understand. Maybe I will get him when I get there some how. Everything happens for a reason. Is there coincidence? Hmm…

His family is pretty similar to mine, with 3 gals and 1 boy, except he’s the eldest and my brother is the youngest. My family’s attendance in one of the workshop for psychology of vision has given him and his sisters the courage to bring their parents for the workshop too. His dad and mum finally patched up after a couple of decades of staying apart. Wow!

Millionaire Mind.

Let me write this while it's still fresh in my mind. I only have 5 minutes :) 5 and Just 5. hahaha... Does it rhyme? ;)

This weekend, or rather it started from yesterday, I am attending a seminar called "The Millionaire Mind Intensive" by T. Harv. The co-trainer is Robert ***. Oops... I have forgotten the first name :P T. Harv is the master trainer and he's really really really good! The seminar is 9am-11pm on Friday, 9am-11pm on Saturday, and 8am-7pm on Sunday. Wow! Isn't it? It's really super intensive! Initially, I wanna sell away my ticket cos I gotta meet my friend for dinner last nite, meet the dateline for the reorganisation of my business partners, see my gynae this morning, and attend another training in the afternoon, and attend Shichida class with Aloysius tomorrow. We missed the last Shichida class already, you see... I value Shichida class very much :). I truly believe in the weekly class will have an impact on Aloysius' brain development in the long run.

Ok ok, let me share what I have learnt yesterday. First and foremost, managing our finances is very important if we want to have more money. And money management is a HABIT! Habit habit habit... This is not the first time I heard about HABIT lately in order to make more money. When I attended a training session by Arthur two weeks ago, I already heard from him that the amount of money we earn gotta do with our own HABITS! Wow... T. Harv strengthened that again yesterday. In order to cultivate the "habit" of savings, it's best to start from young. The amount of money we have does not matter at all. What it matters is the actions and the habits. We can even start from a dollar! We can cultivate this habit in our kids! I have decided that I wanna cultivate money management in Aloysius :) He will then have a headstart, unlike me.

For the practical part of money management, we get 6 transparent containers and label them. Put in real money and watch them grow by the days. They will be my money magnets. If we have $1000, go to the atm and withdraw that amount and put them into the respective containers.

Ok, I gotta go... oops... it's 15 minutes already :P Will talk more about the containers in more details when I got time :) If you want your child to be richer than you, start cultivating them from young! And I do believe in that... I saw some primary school kids attending the seminar with their parents. Wah... Next time, I will bring Aloysius for such seminars when he's older than 3 years old, but younger than 6 years old. kekeke...

Busy bee...

I have not written my blog for almost a month now. Gosh… Time flies, isn’t it? I have been very busy with Aloysius and my biz. I haven’t got much time to sit down and write.

What happened for the past few weeks? Well, I have traveled to KL and Penang for biz. The system in WBG is being revamped. Feeling responsible and the excitement of the new system, I traveled a little, and had meetings with my consumers and other partners. Arthur Yap from Penang has joined WBG. He’s already a multi, multi, multi, multi, millionaire, and chose to join Nicholas Chia, CEO of WBG. He joined cos Nicholas told him that he wants to be number 1 in Asia. Hmm… In order to be able to succeed, we gotta be with successful people rite? I also want to be in company that is going to be number 1 :) I knew about Arthur when I was with Omegatrend. Arthur was very loyal and he was with Omegatrend for 11 years, till the company was bought over by another company from New Zealand. He has a very interesting history. He is a lawyer by profession. He told a small group of us that when he was pursuing his bar council in UK, he was selected to go to US to represent UK. Wow… a high flyer indeed. He was already a millionaire at the age of 26. However, he was in debt of RM3million at the age of 27. Gosh! I find him very amazing… He now stays in a house on a cliff at Batu Ferringgi which is valued at RM40million! The land area is 1.3 acres! I cannot imagine how big that is. He has RM9million in cash in the bank on top of his assets. My brother was with Omegatrend a few years ago, and met Arthur a few times then. Being a little skeptical of Arthur’s background, I confirmed some of the things about Arthur with him. kekeke… A person like him should have far sight and superb business acumen, isn’t it? I am interested to know why he chose to join WBG. Are you? ;)

I would say the month of November is a month of major changes and decisions for me. Ok, enough about me for now… :) I might be bringing Aloysius to Penang, Langkawi and Kedah end of December :). We haven’t made the bookings yet though.

Lately, Aloysius is showing some output of what he has learnt at Julia Gabriel :). He knows most of the songs that are sang in class. He’s into songs now and will sing “E-I-E-I-O” when we sang Old MacDonald song. He’s at a stage of knowing what he wants, but still exploring how to communicate to us what he wants. At times, he gets very frustrated.

Last week, I fed Aloysius elephant brand organic jasmine thai brown rice and he had bad constipation. He ate the brown rice with some vegetables for lunch, and refused to eat from dinner. The next day, he’s not even interested in his milk, which he loves a lot. When we were preparing to go out for his JG party, he was very listless. He walked around and dunno what to do. He bent his body and walked. He refused to let me hug him, but hugged me from my back :( He was never like that before. Something was wrong. He did not remove his bowel the previous nite, which he usually does. He kept crying on and off for no reason. I guessed probably he’s having indigestion and tummy ache. I applied ru-yi oil for him and gave him half a capsule of digeston. Digeston is a natural product made from 5 types of ginger, distributed by a multi-level marketing company called E-Excel. After I applied the oil and fed him digeston, he allowed me to carry and hug him. He felt better after a while and could play with his toys. After slightly more than an hour, he passed motion, and followed by diarrhoaea. Very, very smelly ones… He could not eat much for about 5 days. He only likes his oatmeal. Luckily his discomforts were gone by evening, cos we were traveling to KL early next morning. Today, his appetite returned :) He ate his porridge. After his porridge, he had a slice of bread too.

We went to KL the last weekend and stayed at Ascott again :). It was a pleasant stay. With the tight schedule, we managed to shop at KLCC for a few hours before we started our journey back to Singapore. We decided not to rush back for Aloysius’ Shichida’s class.
