27th on 25th

It's two years past 25th on 25th. A special day regardless. It's a Thursday and I'm at the office with no one around - that's why I can blog! :)



Just a quick one, before I go on detailing later tonight...


20th October 2008, 1932 hrs, HC Office, Jln Yap Kwan Seng, pretty bad traffic out there.

Omigosh. I only managed to type two sentences above on my birthday? Must have been busy.

Busy? Understatement.

We've all got it all up to our noses these days.

But, its good... Its ALL good! Hehe..

Anyways, been meaning to update about my birthday - received quite a lot of gifts, this year (surprisingly, but its all nice and dandy ;)) Again, this year my birthday falls in the fasting month. So, had buka puasa with Mama and Uncle at Bubba Gump.

The night before, had buka puasa with Idan, Sarip and Kimin in Kelana Jaya. Near Idan's office, there's this quite nice steakhouse overlooking a lake. They surprised me with a birthday cake. Well, it was Idan's surprise. Kimin and Sarip were equally shocked when the cake came. So sweet of them.

On the B-day itself, I got a bouquet of stargazers sent at the office. With no name signed on it. With well wishes, and addressed to Faz Mohd. Was it a controversy? Probably. Cause everyone was suspecting both En Syed and En Arif hooked up and sent it to me. Then, they concluded, probably it was the florist himself. Haha. So sad, no one expected that I could actually have an admirer to send me flowers. Sigh. Haha.

The sender me a text though, I know who it was, and suspected him from the very start. Unfortunately, the text was to my personal phone, and I only managed to read it about 3 hours after it was sent. We had a laugh on it though, it's all good :)

Then, on Friday, day after my birthday, went for facial session at Derby Park. Ennie couldn't make it, so had it with Alia. Afterwards, we broke fast in Ampang Park. Ennie was supposed to join but she was stuck in the traffic. She only managed to arrive about 9. Pity her, pregnant and fasting and had to face the jam. Before that, both me and Alia bumped into Ali - who wanted to join us for our very late buka, but then re-decided and headed back home. Anyways, the point of this update is? I got a very special gift from Ennie - a Sony DVD player!! It's pink and white and she was in charge with the initial design and cost control. She says, "..sort of like my baby lah.." Very nice. It's all good.

Kak Pit gave me a basket of goodies - white spray paint, paintbrush, towel and KitKat for my DIY project! All came in a nice and classy basket arrangement, done in oh-so-Martha-Stewart-ish. I should post up some pics!

Mama, unneccessarily, gave me, a lot, a lot, of money. Sigh. She's so caring, wonder what I'd do without her. I love her to pieces.

Belated gifts? Teddy bear (not a big one) from Papa, and a set of perfume from Renny, and two bottles of perfume (also) from Kak Long. Gosh, I must have emitted bad BO to them, eh? Haha. It's all good :)

What else? What else?

Got crushy mushy nowadays. We actually spent about an hour last night on the phone. It's crazy. Is it? I'm not sure, but I don't want to be thinking so much about it anymore. My take on it is like jogging (ironically), take it in small paces. Be consistent. Just breath. Just take in the air and smile watching the sunrise among the clouds. The 10K is doable, in a blink, and so can this (not in a blink lah, of course). But its doable. I just need to enjoy it. I'm smiling as I'm typing now. I think I have always thought of him, in a certain way, but probably was too afraid to admit it. Or probably, I had really huge ego, and decided he was not good enough for me. Hell, I'm probably not good enough for him. But, that's not the way we should carry it. We're both good for each other. I know we are. Crushy mushy.

It's all still a crush.

I know he's got one too. Hah.

Okay, twenty minutes of updating. This could go on and on and on. I better make a move before it gets too tiring.

I'll let you know more about our Hari Raya adventures.

Oh, and I'll upload the headlines on 25 September ago!

Till then, spread love! :)

Of Emitting The Right Frequency

Okay, I've just done reading The Secret by Rhonda Byrne last week.

The lesson learnt: Like Attracts Like.

So, attract like.

But I'll get back to attracting like later on. Let me just share some updates of the past week.

1. Another Hospital Visit
4th September. Boss wanted me to accompany him to Subang. No prior reason given. Then, we came nearby Sunway Hospital. Okay.
"Are we going to the hospital?"
"Yes."
"Who's been hospitalised?" (Trying professional tone with tinge of concern)
"A friend."
"Okay."
So then we went to the lobby. To buy flowers. I forked out mine cause he was out was cash. Okay.
"Can you do me a favor?"
"Yup."
"Can you carry these (flowers) too?"
"Okay..." (With a big tinge of hesitation) "I was thinking I should just wait down here..."
"No.. No.. come up"
"Hmmm.."
So we got to Level 2 - Maternity Ward. Who delivered? Ex-girlfriend? Friend's wife? Uhh.. wife?
So many possibilities running through my head.

"Hi... Come in.." (Signals me to come in)
On the bed - - - Jenny.
Oh. My. God.
- - - - - - - - -
What happened to you? My cyst burst. OMG. OMG. I'm so shocked. Wow, flowers. Yeah.. I didn't expect to see you here. What happened. Poor thing. And your wedding.. Only a few days away! Yea.. I'm supposed to get my dowry today... So are you going to postpone? I don't know yet.. etc, etc, etc.

That, my friend, was. A surprise.

2. Closing Deals
On the same evening.

For who knows what reason, I went to check the fax machine.

Fresh and hot - JPL LOA. 122 units.

Fast forward one week, aka Fri 12 Sept.

SMS - Multimodal. 100 units.

3. The Run
Been changing routes this puasa month. We've started Lake Garden. And just last weekend, at UM. Unknown distance for the prior. The latter is approximately 5.7km.

Haven't done a 10 since the last participated run. But mostly, this puasa month is just to maintain pacing and stamina.

I hope we run again tomorrow. Probably at LG. We had buka puasa with Ennie in Bird Park last Friday.

Oh, and I've revisited some old favorites. Check this out:

September (Earth, Wind and Fire)

Do you remember on the 21st night of September
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing
As we danced in the night
Remember, how the stars stole the night away

Ba de ya, say do you remember
Ba de ya, dancing in September
Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day

My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love
Remember, how we knew love was here to stay

Now December
Found the love that we shared in September
Only blue talk and love
Remember, the true love we share today

Cool eh? You know what it means :)

So, getting back to emitting like and like. Here's an excerpt I think describes my read the best:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_(2006_film)

Step†
Commentary by Gazette[5]
Commentary by Nibbana[4]

Ask
Know what you want and ask the universe for it.
This is where you need to get clear on what it is you want to create and visualise what you want as being as 'real' as possible.

Believe†
Feel and behave as if the object of your desire is on its way.
Focus your thoughts and your language on what it is you want to attract. You want to feel the feeling of really 'knowing' that what you desire is on its way to you, even if you have to trick yourself into believing it – do it.

Receive
Be open to receiving it.
Pay attention to your intuitive messages, synchronicities, signs from the Universe to help you along the way as assurance you are on the 'right' path. As you align yourself with the Universe and open yourself up to receiving, the very thing you are wanting to manifest will show up.

† In the earlier (first) edition, Esther Hicks listed the three steps as: "ask, answer, receive". In the first edition, she describes the step "answer" as "an answer to what you're asking ... what the universe does for you". (Hicks declined to continue with the project, mentioning contractual issues in a letter to friends.[10])

Yup. Read that. Digest. Then, we'll get back to that soon okay.

Another night in September.

Oh, we submitted papers to set up Rightontrack earlier this evening :)

GOOD Night :)
