Sorry.......like a guilty puppy

I purposely came in late today after yesterday's incident. My rebellious soul was showing more and more with every second.

Went to the mechanics to have a look at my 'contact point'. Decided to come in at 12.00pm for work.

I left the car workshop after 11.00am.

When I reached the office, guess who I saw sitting at his desk?

My manager!

Oops.........he didn't go to the Supplier after all. The trip was cancelled.

Now I felt bad for my behaviour yesterday.

We attended the meeting with the Factory Manager as scheduled. I must say that I was kinda ashamed of myself because after all my workmates didn't hold anything against me as we supported each other during the meeting (the FM purposely grilled us with mind-boggling questions about our preparation for next week).

This is how I'm feeling tonight.

OK.

Now, this got me thinking whether the Law of Attraction thingy worked in my favour today. It says that if you want something bad enough, you will vibrate the energy that will be picked up by the universe and the universe in turn will rearrange itself to make it work in your favour.

If this theory is true, then my anger yesterday must have vibrated out nuclear proportion energy as from what I heard, it was the Supplier who asked for cancellation yesterday due to unforeseen circumstances.

If only my desire for money can be vibrated that way *sigh*

A former classmate told me maybe I'm too humble money-wise.

Oh. How about having a rock star husband?
Come on ...... vibrate....vibrate.....

Tom Kaulitz on my Startup Menu!

Got a surprise as I click my Startup Menu in the wee hours of the morning to find this.



One of my brothers obviously had meddled with my PC again except this time in a good way. Normally I would start my PC to find the settings changed, the history gone, the files rearranged, new weird softwares installed, things deleted etc. All without my permission of course!


This is Tom when he was still illegal for me to fancy.

It's probably for a teenie magazine. The photo had been touched up by the graphic artist in such a way that his lips turned Peony coloured.

I probably vibrated my energy strong enough to make my sibling think that if they're gonna mess with my stuff, they better treat em like it's me doing my stuff. What made him choose this photo is still beyond me.

Me and the Pink Lilies

My alarm didn't make a sound today. Don't know why. Was I in such a deep slumber that I couldn't hear a thing?


Decided to capture a few moments outside.


Ah-ha! The Pink Lilies are blooming. I have always loved these flowers since I was a kid.


Many of the plants and trees from my childhood sadly ceased to exist around here as more houses are being built and more earth is getting covered by gravel and tar because people associate earth with dirt. The chiku trees which used to surround my house and whose sweet fruits used to provide a decent living for some are ALL gone now.


The Pink Lilies are the only ones bravely surviving and I pray they will continue to. I learn a lot from them. Who would have thought that something that seem so delicate and fragile on the outside turn out to be the one that can stand the test of time?

I am a Pink Lily now.

Finally I got paid for the bag I made!

Something I didn't think would happen happened today.

A colleague who owed me the money she was supposed to pay me for a bag I made her paid up......finally! After 1 and 1/2 year!

I must be vibrating right. Well, it's a start. I waited for a long time for her to pay up and I never stopped wishing for that money to come my way. Hey, I worked hard on that bag!

These are the pictures of the bag.........

Vibrate Yourself and Reach for Your Mate

Haha. I’m not suggesting any sexual connotation with this title. My reading into the Law of Attraction philosophy has brought me to a concept of “Vibration” in search of a life partner. It’s hard for me not to find this hilarious although by no means am I rejecting the idea.

I first heard of it from my buddy who said a senior friend told her that “in order to let the man of your dreams know about your existence, you must vibrate and vibrate your aura so that the universe will bring it to him because he’s somewhere out there at the moment”. I laughed hysterically at that time. So hard that my stomach hurt. Little did I know that in other parts of the world, there are people who are actually holding on to that same philosophy.

Have I ever subconsciously employ the “vibration” theory in my life? Ok. When I was 14, Don Dokken was the guy I wanted. Then at age 15, Tom Keifer was my dream man for a few months before discovering he was married.….. hehe. 20 years on, both men are happily settled and I’m still vibratingly single.

Tom Keifer of Cinderella. He's beautiful!

I guess my vibration didn’t travel long enough to cross the Pacific Oceans and it certainly forgot to ask the universe where the most powerful satellite was.

Deutsch Musik Continues........

Having my You Tube fix again tonight.

Discovered another German band called Silbermond (silver moon). First found that word in the Deutsch version of the Disney song Colours of the Wind from Pocahontas which I'm still struggling to memorize and understand at the same time).



Back to the band, I was pleasantly surprised that they actually play soft, half acoustic, AOR-influenced music. Evidently, from the songs I've heard so far anyway. Very much the type I like to listen to.

Stumbled upon Revolverheld quite awhile ago. At first, they were a bit like Hootie and the Blowfish to my ears but the recent addition to their channel shows that the band is going for a more commercial sound with Generation Rock. Now they sound like a lot of other bands out there.

Oh.....couldn't get that Cinema Bizarre's Forever or Never out of my head for days around two weeks ago. Amazed at how all those influences they mentioned (Duran Duran, 80s, Bowie and of course Visual Kei) actually can be listened to in their music.



Having a pretty singer doesn't hurt either. I hope they're all straight.... :-)

When I feel low, I like to think of that EMA 07 performance of Tokio Hotel. When you're pretty and overly-popular, you're bound to get many haters. It still amazes me that they started the performance with loud boos from the audience but they battled on by putting one of the best stage performances I've ever seen in my life and ended it with a huge applause and cheers from the very same audience! If only people would open their minds.....*sigh*

Oh I believe those TH boys live by the Law of Attraction whether they realize it or not. I mean, they, especially the twins, have always channeled their energy and focus on making it in the music world in whatever way. You don't feel any negative vibes coming from them in the way that they conduct themselves. Hope they can hold themselves together for a long long time. I've seen many bands crumble when the negative vibes start to rear their ugly heads.

Shock the Manager!

My girl colleague made her decision today about resigning and starting a new life at the rival company. Told her if her reason is more than just money, I wouldn't fight for a salary raise on her behalf.

I was calm today as opposed to last week. Broke the news to my Manager. He laughed not knowing what to say. The high manpower turnover issue came up again but I responded saying it was all fate that our members seemed to attract great offers from other companies.

Hey.....the management MUST replace our manpower loss soon or they'll suffer. We are not going to go over the mountain, walk on fire or jump over the moon for them. You want the job done, you do the human resource ok.

Anyway, I'm quite surprised at my easiness of letting her go. Another piece of life wisdom from the "Law of Attraction" book had been firmly planted in my mind....."Think that you have made a difference in someone's life". I took it positively that letting her go is me making a difference in her somewhat dire financial situation here. This way, she'll have a better future. She might thank me someday for it.

PC Fair and MP4 Gadget from China...!

It's PC Fair in Melaka from 18 to 20 April and I just had to join in the fun.

Bought myself a DVD-writer, an SD Card, a spare mouse, a pair of earphones and an MP4 Player.


I was attracted to a DVD-Writer from Memorex with a Lightscribe technology where the drive can scribe a title to your DVD. However, considering such technology normally means the product itself is more sensitive and prone to damages (just like a hi-tech cellphone compared to a basic Nokia 3310), I finally decided to go for a cheaper one from Samsung. Both come with Nero Suite. Yeah!

Considering that I'll be off to the East Coast early May for an island holiday, I couldn't resist an array of MP3 and MP4 players at a stall. 3 days without my PC nor the Internet? How I'm gonna miss all my video collection. Without that much persuasion, I grabbed one in an unattractive black and orange colour scheme. It looks ugly, cheap and bulky but the design feels comfy in my hand. The buttons on the right side is very fitting to my being right-handed. The screen is 2" diagonal which is big. Most importantly, you can expand the memory with an SD.

My Pride n Joy!

Got seriously annoyed when I brought it home yesterday as the thing couldn't "plug n play" into my PC (meaning I couldn't access its internal memory) and it could only read MP3s I put into the card. None of the video worked (MP4, mpg, amv, avi). It was either an "error message" or "no files can be found". There was a CD supposedly with its driver but I couldn't find any.

Brought it back to the Stall today to complain. The guy was very helpful. Turned out that my USB Cable was faulty so he replaced it with one that worked well. Then I told him about the video failure. He said the thing could read only AVI files converted by its Avi Converter given in its Internal Memory which I needed to install to my PC. What?! Is that so? So much for calling it an MP4 Player and it can't read MP4s at all. Pah!

He converted an AVI I already put in there. Was excited to be able to watch it.

Treated myself to a Walnut Brownie with Vanilla Ice-Cream at Secret Recipe. Got a huge smile on my face.


Then I flipped through a book about the Law of Attraction at a bookstore. It says things along the line of "live your life as if the good things you visualize are already yours". Hmm......

Thank God the thing worked fine when I followed the guy's instruction after I brought it home. So now I'm busy converting files to bring to work tomorrow on the Player.

Now I'm feeling positive again. It's easier to feel so when I'm happy.

p/s : By the way, I have to mention that the earclip-styled earphones make you look like you have a pair of weird growth on your ears. Got my nephews to model it cos they make the thing look cute.
