What's Your Cinderella Story?

Take this test!
You don't need the pouffy dress, the fancy hair, or the 3-inch glass heels. A romantic soul like you just wants a guy who's a true companion, a good friend, a real prince. And if he's hot? All the better. But ultimately, you know that home is where the heart is. Which is probably why you surround yourself with good friends you can take care of and laugh with — friends who will do the same for you.


But that doesn't keep you from fantasizing about the perfect relationship. It's not that you don't have your feet firmly planted on the ground. It's just that you're not afraid to shoot high. Or wish upon a shooting star. So keep reaching for your goals, Cinderella. If you do, your happily ever after can't be far away. And you can seal that with a kiss.

Answer to Contentment

Was at the gymn, earnestly keeping to my birthday goal, when the movie Enchanted came on. I've been dying to watch it first at the cinema then on DVD but never got around to doing it. Hmmm.... maybe it's an answer to my morning post on contentment. Maybe, there is happily ever after.

Contentment

One of my favourite quotes is "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice." I've always believe that we can change our destiny.

But what if some things aren't meant to be, that some dreams remain just that, as dreams and that resignation might not be a bad thing. At least, it provides a certain degree of contentment rather than restless. Maybe that's why some people opt for resignation than to hunger and crave for the fulfillment of dreams that are beyond you. Not cos' you haven't taken action to achieve them but cos' you've done all you could.

This only means opening up to the possibility of a miracle. Yeah.

What's Your Goddess Identity?

Take this test!
Known for your creative powers, you Muses are the poets and musicians of life, the patrons of the fine arts. It's funny, though — even with your inspirational prowess, you're probably not the type to boast about your guitar-strumming skills, or your latest published book of verse.

While it's great when people flock to you for ideas, there probably is a part of you that prefers to blend in sometimes — whether dressing in muted shades or staking out a one-on-one conversation at parties and social events. But try as you might not to hog the spotlight, others can't help but notice you. Must be hard to be such a goddess!

Despite any lingering modesty, you might be surprised at how much your mere presence can help improve the lives of those around you by infusing them with ideas and good thoughts. With that kind of healing energy, your inspirational ways have the potential to change the world, Muse. Whether you're scribbling sonnets, boogying with your friends, or drawing your own constellations — you're tapped in. So keep your eyes wide open to the possibilities and let that inspiration flow!

What Makes You Beautiful?

Take this test!
That's right, sweet thing, you know what you're doing when it comes to fashion, makeup, and style. A fun-loving and flirtatious lady like you loves showing off and strutting your stuff. Outgoing and free-spirited, you can strike up conversations with strangers, and you always manage to make any gathering more exciting.


Being put together and staying on top of the trends isn't easy, but you make it look that way. You know exactly what looks great on you, and you have the best time putting together eye-catching outfits and playing with your hair to complement your body, style, and mood. Meeow!

Perfecting the Perfect Day

There are days when it's perfect cos' the flow of the day just keeps getting better and better... your emotions are on a positive high... unexpected positive outcomes or events... Yet we know that the state of being happy and the state of happy being are intricately linked. This only means that perfect days are not limited to the unexpected blessing (which is an utter joy when it happens!). It means that we can master the art of perfecting the perfect day.

That was what I set out to do when I had the intuitive yearning last Thursday to have a
Perfect Day. For it to happen, I'm blessed that it was logistically possible to do so... there are no deadlines to meet and my boss (Thanks Andrew!!!!! ) is flexible with me taking the day off on short notice.

One interesting thing to note is that when you set out to be in the state of happy being and create your perfect day, you are already in a positive vibrational state.. and the Law of Attraction will kick in leading to unexpected positive outcomes or events will happen. I know that this will happen, I just didn't know what will happen...

Morning Perfect

I went to recharge with nature.. Enjoying the perfection that exists...


Enjoying the people who treasures such perfection...


Enjoying my flight of joy...

I felt recharged and good. And that's important because a friend called for an emergency meeting in the evening for a group discussion on a serious and unpleasant situation that occurred. I don't enjoy that type of meetings but I know that all will be well.


Afternoon Perfect

I decided that I wanted to be at Hanamco for lunch and so off I went. Decided on the set lunch and interestingly, felt like having a burger. This was a surprise cos' I don't enjoy eating meat much less a burger. But felt like it so ordered it.

The burger was excellent (love it so much that I had it the next day when I popped by the place with another group of friends)!!!!! Had a very nice conversation with my friend Joyce who owns the place or as she calls it, manages it for her father Charlie (of Charlie's Corner). Guess what? Through the conversation, I found myself a potential intern for my company!!! Just a week ago, I was sharing with Andrew that I would like to tap on the creativity of youth for our business and have been thinking about it. I've met up with the youth and he is indeed passionate and highly creative. If all goes well, he'll be on internship with us starting September. Can't wait!!!

My friends Yvonne, Ivy and her daughter Beveryl swung by later to join me for lunch. Guess what they ordered? :)

Over lunch Part 2, Yvonne invited me to go with her to a Bodynits sale. Going with the flow, I went with her and ended up with two pieces of gym wear for just $8. Wow!

Evening Perfect

I had that emergency meeting to attend. I was early and so decided to head over to the meeting venue (White Dog Cafe at Vivocity). This is my first time to the restaurant and I was glad that I early! I ordered a lychee-logan virginrita, settled into a comfy sofa chair, enjoyed the view and indulged in one of my favourite hobbies. This is life, indeed!


My friends were running late which was excellent for me cos' I could continue in my indulgence. Then they arrived and it was good to be in the company of friends and partners who shares the same heartbeat. They are partners because we have recently set up a training company (Andrew is totally supportive of me having a share in this company. Now you understand why he's such a great boss right?) This meeting was called to iron out some creases. The best meetings are those held over makan or meals and this exactly what we did!


Over food and fellowship, we agreed on actions to take to iron out the creases. It wasn't pleasant but being people of faith, we know and trust that all will be well.

Night Perfect

For me, it is indeed a Perfect Day.
  • I enJOYed nature and was recharged by it
  • I enJOYed the company of different group of good friends
  • I enJOYed delicious food
  • I had the space to read in a very nice envrionment
  • I found good gym wear at cheap prices
  • I am part of a vibrant and dynamic team of partners
  • I have a fabulous and good boss
  • I found a passionate, creative and talented intern for my company
  • I am perfecting my skill in the art of of being happy and happy being

Perfect Day

On an intuitive yearning, am going to take the day off to create my perfect day. Going to go with the flow and know that at the end of the day, tonight, it's been a perfect one. And all's well.

I'll share with you my adventure and pics. Already it's started. :P

Book. Show. Chill-Out Place.

I love David Deida's The Way of the Superior Man and found it enlightening when I read it last year. Last weekend, I bought Dear Lover, a woman's guide to enjoying love's deepest bliss. Am still savouring it slowly and richly. Letting the new insights sink in. And it is indeed the right timing for the book to be in my life right now.









I rarely watch TV, only shows that I enjoy... Right now, I love Life. The fact that Charlie Crews, played by Damien Lewis, is hot, quirky and intelligent is an added bonus. Thanks to the Hub station, I haven't missed a single episode.


I love heading out to Changi Village to chill out. The laid back atmosphere, the trees, the yummy eating places are part of Changi V's charm. Now, there's an added bonus for visiting the place cos' I found my perfect chill out spot at Hanamco. The place is managed by my friend Joyce, the daughter of Charlie from Charlie's Corner. When I there last Sunday, I thoroughly enjoyed the scrambled egg on toast and the flower crab.. and there's a lot more on the menu that I would love to taste.

Inner Angel


One of my beliefs which I choose to see, think and feel as useful is that there is goodness in everyone. It's an absolute belief, like how the sun always rises. It's true that I've modified my internal classification system last year to include the category called jerks. At the same time, even jerks will have inner angels.
