The Bright Moon

I was having dinner at Marche, vivo city yesterday. The moon has again grabbed my attention. It was beautiful and magnificent. it was so bright and clear.

Today I got an email from a friend in Emmaus (my prayer group in st Mary) about the fact that yesterday moon is a rare appearance of it. It was the brightest in the last 50 years!! the moon was 17 thousand miles closer during that time.

Water Crystal Research By Masaru Emoto



Do you know different thoughts imposed on a distilled water will result in different crystal structure of the water. Some pictures from the article:


The crystal structure of water that is subjected to Heavy Metal Music


The crystal structure of water that is subjected to word "You make me sick, I will kill you"


The crystal structure of water that is subjected to Adolph Hitler


The crystal structure of water that is subjected to Love and Appreciation


The crystal structure of water that is subjected to word "THANK YOU"

The crystal structure of water that is subjected to Mother Theresa

TIME & MONEY

Do they sound familiar to you? Yeah, it is one of the most important topic in finance. Time is Money, addressed as time value of money by the financial people. I will not talk about that anyway. I am not gonna explain how closely related they are. Just remember this phrase:

“ Young People sacrifice their TIME to earn MONEY, meanwhile the old folks sacrifice MONEY to get TIME”

That is why in this writing I would like to talk about how to MANAGE them.

I have been doing well with financial management (still along way to the millionaire dream TARGET). However, one thing that I just realized after a conversation with one of my new housemates, he is a very handsome and wise guy, any lady interested can let me know XD. We were on the way back from the Xmas thanksgiving mass in St Mary. I was complaining about how fast the time has flied. I couldn’t even APPRECIATE the one week. As if the number of day in the week is getting lesser and lesser.

My big wise friend from SMU gave me a good suggestion that might be effective to solve my concern. It is to start a diary, taking note , just a brief one, of your activities in each day. I do not know whether such thing will work or not but definitely I am going to try it out.

I have been recording my daily expenses for the previous three months. At first it was challenging. However I realize that by doing such simple thing, I am getting more and more aware of my spending and better in terms of financial planning.

The Trap of Perfectionism

Dear Reader,

How are you? I hope your life is great as it is for me. You might think that I have been abandoning this blog or you might think I am not serious of being a blogger. You might be right from certain points of view. BUT...

I wish to clarify that I am a kind of person that value commitment as one of the most important things in life. I did take words actually I am trying to be a warrior that came out of my mouth as promise and try to realize it. However I have been a perfectionist in writing blog. Almost everyday I am thinking of sharing something interesting to the world and again... the big BUT comes in. I tend to procrastinate and think that tomorrow will be a better time for me to write my idea in a “PERFECT” manner. And as you see here... the blog is not moving as if tomorrow never come.

IT IS ENOUGH... this blog is not an academic journal that needs lots of check and reviews. It is a random collection of writings that record my thoughts and observation on the world.

I, W****** K******, will quit being a perfectionist in writing blog and finish what I have started. this statement is not binding in any law of any country, so please don't sue me XD

I welcome you back to my blog... I will try to (no more try to... commitment le... never heard about 'le', it is singlish... very happening in singapore "le"...) update this blog at least once a week from now on... YEAH... IT IS A COMMITMENT now....

Cheers,
WK
