Jesus Take The Wheel

The lyrics of this song says all that needs to be said about my present stage.

Jesus Take The Wheel lyrics

Songwriters: James, Brett; Lindsey, Hillary; Sampson, Gordie;

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy
With the baby in the backseat

Fifty miles to go and she was running low
On faith and gasoline
It'd been a long hard year

She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was going way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinning
On a thin black sheet of glass

She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was so scared
She threw her hands up in the air

Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
?Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on

Jesus, take the wheel
It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat
Sleeping like a rock

And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight

Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
?Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on

Oh Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
Oh, why, ooh

RELEASE WORRYING ON FINANCIAL MATTERS

I RELEASE all my thoughts, worries, upsetness, and regrets on my financial status.
ALL I WANT IS HAVE FINANCIAL FREEDOM AND TO BE I AM FILTHY RICH. TO I ALWAYS HAVE MONEY COMING ABUNDANTLY TO ME ALL THE TIME.

The Happiness Bug

Hola! What a great thing to be bitten by the happiness bug. So many good things come out from feeling good inside out. I feel much lighter and happier day by day. Minus the fact that I had been one hell of a sleepy peepy person today with dragging feet and astonishing use of will and brainpower when the time called for it :-)

I am happy to be cherished. To be have made good pro-active decisions. To be in Jesus's arms and safe from all the worry mongering, unhappy and delusional state of mind.

I am doing a happy jig. I am happy things are going on so well.

Happiness!!!

Today I am so happy. There are so many things good things happening in both my personal life and also at work. I am making more friends at work, I love being liked and taken as an esteemed colleague and most of all a friend. I love people fussing over my well being, people caring for me..people stating that I am pretty and interesting and that I am very nice and pleasant. I love all this. I like and love being looked up to.

I am so happy to have a positive light in my light. I feel the weight on my shoulder has been lifted up and I am walking on air. I just want to feel so good at my correct weight for my height and frame and that I look lovely as always.

Work has been a tremendous achievement. There are so many things that I achieved today. I like achieving and accomplishing things. I like being looked at with admiration at work. I like being popular. I like that people regard me in high esteem.

Hallelujah Praise God

God has answered me in my time of need. In fact He has been doing this for some time. Today whatever worries and anger that I have had been keeping... all has been dissolved.

Today everything went on well. Everything that I hope to accomplish have been taken place. Today there have been good news all around. I managed to achieve so many things in ashort time... it is so surreal. It is such a good feeling inside to know... to hear ... to understand that all this is happenning to me is REAL and all good things are happenning and I have achieved!!!!!!!

Thank God for small mercies. Thank God for listening to me. Thank God for I am blessed.

Nurturing My Garden

I have been dilligently potting my flowers. I put them in lovely smiley and happy pots, small cutes ones with colors of brightness and happiness and lovingly put the deepest of soil into it. I make a hole in the middle of the earth/soil with a stick intently before I sprinkle in a seed or two. I pat the earth to close the seed. I heave a sigh and breathe in the smell of soil. I look at the sun and pray that the seed that I planted will blossom into an array of beautiful flowers. I wish and want many flowers of all kinds of hue... I want happy colors of yellow, blue, red, pink, white and etc....Yes... my heart is contended as I bring the pot that I have in my hand near my heart as though to hug it as if to say heart to heart...

Memories. Happiness. JOY!

After a while... I put down each of my pots, I twirl and nudge them in place and position them in where the sun is shining but not of the hottest ray lest my flowers shudder in the heat. I lovingly leave the flowers to bloom in the hands of God.

OH GOD I LEAVE ALL THESE IN YOUR HANDS! I leave all my sorrows, heartaches, thriumphs, gladness, happiness, anger and disdain in your hands. I look up to you like a child trusting that my God, my caretaker and my guardian will always protect me as always. It is you whom I look with lovingy eyes... trusting that you will always do the best for me.

New Things

I am pleased to blog that as of this weekend, I have been learning new things such as :

1. Learning to type with more than 2 fingers and not reading/seeing from the keyboard.
2. Learning to speak Cantonese. [This is really fun]
3. Listening to podcast... [I could never sit still and listen to people talk -- did not know how to concentrate listening as well as doing something at the same time. However now I am fascinated with podcasts. Not to mention that I gained a new advantage in that I listen more].

Waking Up Early In The Morn

Could not sleep. After tossing and turning for an hour and concorting a dream... I decided to wake up and try out my luck at downloading instead. Could not resist to blog about this. It is a different kind of feeling to wake up in the early of the morning. I feel fresh and awake and not at all grumpy. I guess this may have to do with my sleeping most of the time on last Saturday. So fast... time passes by... it is Monday all the sudden and there are so much of things to do all the time.

I will endeavour to wake up at 5am everyday - a 30 day challenge. Will try to go to sleep by 10.30pm each night so I could have at least 6.5 to 7 hours of sleep. Hope that I can find the remaning time to sleep in the train ... to catch 40 winks by commuting thus allowing me some sufficient amount of sleep time. Also on the bright side my typing skills have increased tremendously. My fingers seemed to remember where the correct keys are. It is just that now I need to get used to type with more than three fingers :-)  And the learning begins :-)

Soothing Sounds In the Morning - George Michael

There is something about listening to George Michael in the morning that makes your day seems so sweet and worthwhile. George Michael's soothing voice and meaningful music all but makes my heart go tender inside and my head nods at the beautiful words. Truly he is a gifted songwriter and a talented singer.

These are my faves:

1. Faith
2. One More Try
3. A different corner
4. Careless Whisper
5. I cant make you love me
6. Kissing a fool
7. Jesus to a child
8. Praying for time.

Greatness: Waking Up At 5AM Every Morning

I woke up early today not willingly albeit but because my mom woke me up. I decided to forgo the shout and yell that I had in my mind because come on... it is a Saturday and yesterday i went to bed around 1.30am. In fact I have been going to bed each day - work day at 1.30 - 2.00++am.

Anyways I digress.... waking up early sometimes... is so nice. Just when I decided to check on my downloads and the bandwidth that I have left for this month (my bandwidth is capped at 5GB per month) I decided that while waiting patiently for my download of Gregorian monk  chants to complete, I would check on the stuff that I had downloaded before. What a surprise it was. I uncovered new things... new things is always something that I like. What better is the way to find treasures lurking around if you just know where to find :-) The fact that the treasure was within my reach and right before my eyes... was even a better sweeter deal.

The goodies that I found:

1. Ravi Sharma - one of my fave book author  - his podcasts and one of it was how to get up early each day. This fired me up to wake up or as he says 'join the 5am group'. Why not I thought...let me pick up this challenge. Everything is doable! Better still, Ravi asked to reflect on my goals and promised that I would wake up feeling more energized each day.
2. Skeleton key to unlock that typing software that I have begun to love.
3. Alice in wonderland book.. just looking at this generates so many smiles from me. It even takes me off the crappy feeling that I have from looking at my sorry capped bandwidth of my broadband. More bandwidth please.... at a cheaper price universe!
4. The hordes of books that I can read this year and in my grasp :-) :-) Oh I am so happy for making smart purchases and smart decisions this year.
5. The hordes of music and playlist that I have. In only I have an iPhone now to sweeten the deal :-) oh yes. ...an iPhone will make my commute life even more fun and amazing.

Things That I AM GRATEFUL Today

It has been awhile since I last blogged my grateful log. Honestly... I did not forget to blog about how grateful I was each day... it was just that .... I did not know whether it was actually improving my life.

I guess... I was either too much hooked on coffee or whether my mind was warped. Here are the things that I am grateful today.

1. I am happy that I have some familiar faces in the train that I talk to. The way I see it is that there is a better chance of networking for me. Also seeing a friendly face makes me look forward to go to work.
2. I had a place to sit, even managed to get some reading time and got a nap. Would be better if I did not have chatterboxes in front of me yakking all the way.
3. I managed to get some response after hard time of finding info. God is always there and is always great and merciful. He hears me and helps me at every turn.
4. I had a good meal with friends.
5. I managed to complete almost all the tasks that I set out to complete today.
6. I am NOT a coffee junkie but I should get more than 5 hours of sleep so I would be more effective and not make mistake due to mind feeling tired.
7. I am getting better as speed typing. I am learning to use all my ten fingers to type rather than using my 2 fingers punch the keyboard keys :-)
8. I downloaded Gregorian monk chants --- it is so beautiful and so soothing. 
9. I am looking for the Ave Maria song that inspires and fills me with full of love and gratefulness.

What I Want At Year 35

I have been reading so many books on law of attraction ... well only 3 books so far and I am not moving myself to get all that I want. What is reality is that everyone of the authors and the coaches in the book is right about - that I want so many things more. Yes.. it is so true and yet my heart is not synchronized with what my mind want and that I am lazy to do all this. However... isn't the law of attraction somethings so effortless? Isn't the law of attraction something that you set your mind on and then it keeps on flaming?

If yes.. and all this I know is true. Then this is what my heart and mind is asking for:

1. somebody to love and love me the same way as I do him. In short my soul mate, my best friend and partner in love and life.
2. a house, a car and a mansion to call my own.
3. my own kitchen complete with all lovely curtains the same one that Martha Stewart has in her website and rows of white painted cupboards, the two stainless steel sinks and the island table with inviting tall benches and with a basket full of fruits and a juicer perched on top the table. My kitchen smells of clean lemons, cakes and biscuits. In my Toshiba fridge that I bought.. the fridge is full of food and of healthy yogurt, butter, cheese, ice-cream and veges.
4. my in-built closet is stuffed with beautiful clothes for work, home, sightseeing, shopping and for sleeping.
5. my face is so lovely and soft and young looking and radiant all the time.
6. my career as a project manager is taking off.. I am known by so many vendors for all my abilities to manage and make every project successful. I am headhunted for my capabilities as a project manager and my there are endless.. requests for me to be their project manager with more money being offered.
7. my own car... i see myself driving to the supermarket, to the malls, to bangsar, to kl, to work and back so effortlessly..
8. I long to have a Honda car. Sleek black, spacious, beautiful and comfortable to drive and move and to sit in.
9. I want a big house in bukit tinggi complete with a garden.. a fish pond anda  serene scenery. I want the house to be in lush greenery nothing like a jungle but more of a natural setting with trim trees and a big wide porch and my Honda and Mercedes car parked safely in. I see my mother sitting in a comfortable OSIM chair.. full of peace of mind and my father sitting in the OSIM massage chair oblivious to the world and happily reading the newspaper. So contented are my parents. Out in the porch, there is where I sit with my husband so in love and thankful for all the good things that have been coming our way continuously and consistently.
10. Then I see the one i love... and life is full of bliss. I see all these with my heart and my mind knowing that I yearn to have all this in my hands.. and in my life.
11. Most importantly... my bank account is growing with more money and we are at peace at last... a beautiful family complete with everyone married and with children. Oh yes... I wish to have children of my own - two of them:1 boy and 1 girl. I want to see my healthy children running and playing and my husband watching them with love of a parent in his eyes and with contentment.
12. I wish all these with my heart and mind. I want all this.

My Achievement at Year 35

I decided to tabulate all my achievements as part of the process of recognizing what I have done as so far and as a motivation for me to get my butt moving to achieve my goals.

MY Achievements (To Date)

1. Today I am paid more that I did in my 10 years of working. The amount to the mere RM2200 which made my heart flutter and arise at that time... is now 2 times the amount. This brings to RM200 per month. What makes my heart to skip a beat is that I managed to up my salary in 4 years time from a measly 500 in 6 years to a 500 per year. This is a tremendous effort on my side since I never asked for a raise.
2. I move effortlessly from education, to insurance to banking with ease.
3. My movement and effortless learning soon after I left the education sector was nothing of amazing. In that 1st year itself... I was recognized for so many things: for my writing skills, my efficiency of getting things done, my uncanny ability of learning anything from scratch, my comprehension of processes and how to monitor effortlessly and so much more.
4. I loved someone who loved me more... this is something that I always wanted. To have someone of my own who loved and cared for me. In short... I had for a short while a loving partner who cared immensely for me and loved me without fault. How I wish to have the chance to have another chance in love.
5. I bought so many lotions for a year that I have even till now.
6. I now have so many people who look up to me and trust me the same way that I started off my first job.
7. Amazingly for someone who left the education sector, I still have and retained my teaching skills.
8. I still have all my good friends surrounding me.
9. I am now my mother's pet... after years long :-)
10. I do not have physical assets with me but I have plenty of other perishable items :-) I plan to own a house, car and full fledged high flying professional career by this year 2010.
11. I have read more than 6 books per month.
12. I have read 20 books in half a year. Amazing or what.
13. I am taking the PMP training... something that I have always wanted.
14. I am loved and cared for at work, personal life and at home.
15. I am remembered fondly by my big bosses.
16. I am seen to be very capable, popular and effective.
17. I have a huge group of friends. I am loved and cared for.

Keeping The Score

Something about calculating makes me feel happy. It invigorates the competitive streak in me. It awakens my senses to something akin to the smell of blood for vampires. I am awaken to doing something more and even better.

I want to achieve so many things this year. I just want everything to fall in pieces. I do not want to pressurize myself or worry myself silly. I just want things to form effortlessly. Like pieces of jigsaw puzzle... falling in place. Sometimes... it is not good to force... it is rather good for things to fall in place... this is the beauty in life.

ANGER

What is anger but something that you blow steam about .. that you throw all the words and the frustrations that you have inside. Where is this me... who used to control her anger and was so discipline not to lose her anger?

I find that I am getting angry day by day. My anger is mainly with the frustrations of not getting things moving or having to repeat myself. It is this anger that keeps me moving. The same anger that is triggering my migraine. The same anger that is keeping me from sleeping peacefully in the night and the same anger that sometimes... let me not care about the world and just go to sleep. My ex had always told me that I always sleep peacefully and soundly after a fight.

I need to get back to my rhythm. I need to control my anger. I need to get back to my Confucious reasoning. I need to span out.

Visualization - iPhone

Groan. My tummy is full and all I can think of is how can I get my hands on a free iPhone? Should I sleep with an image of the iPhone under my pillow - which does sound nice. I can't keep visualizing for an iPhone with a full tummy or a tired mind.

I want an iPhone... I am so tempted... I just want all the facilities of the ebook, podcast listening, ipod and mp3 player all roll into one.

Please universe an iPhone for me.

Train Composing

I am in the train and happily blogging. I wish that I have an iPhone instead of a laptop so I can blog in peace without all the eyes on me. i am late for work again - my brother overslept. Shush... now I have to take the cab again to work. Oh bother... such a waste of money. Wished that I had my meeting yesterday instead of today so I do not need to trot to work. Whatever happened to working at home and being mobile?

Blog later. My battery is almost dead.

Words That Bring Meaning

JFK - "Once you say you will settle on being second, that's what happen to you in life"

2010 : The Wake-Up Call to Change

The good thing in this year 2010 - is that i become to realize that I have to CHANGE!
I need to change my precoccupation of doing everything within safe means. Since when have I become this faggot whiny creature who seems to value that sense means not wasting or taking risk.

Hey... this is me... the girl who ran away from kindie by hatching an elaborate strategy plan that managed to allow me to getaway from the horrible school at a tender age of 5. This is me also the girl who loved to climb trees, tell ghost stories in the night and dream big on freedom and of a luxurious life full of adventure and comfort and beauty. This is the same girl who wanted to go across to Africa to see the wildlife there but never did.

No matter, This year I want to shed my cloak of fear and embrace life.

Visualization of Wants in Life

My heart is beating fast and I am frantic. I feel time is passing by and I long so much to get all the things that I have been wanting - clothes closet for myself, a vacuum cleaner, a house to call my own, my own car etc...

I just want it all just now... right now and I just have to wait. How much longer do I need to put of the waiting?

And the thought of visualization comes into mind. Why don't I visualize RM100, 000 in my bank account? Why don't I think what I could do with the 100, 000 and the many things that I could buy? I hate to be made to be a second class citizen. I can get anything that I put my mind on... this I know. Only it will come over in a jiffy rather than on a slow coach to heaven. Groan!!!!!!!

The good thing to all these blogging is that my typing is becoming much faster and that I am making a conscious effort to not spell out aloud while looking at the keyboard and I am failing miserably. Nevermind... I will persevere. I will attempt all ways to use more fingers while I am typing rather than just the two fingers that I am now using. Sigh... patience is a virtue and practice makes things perfect.

Boredom ---

Boredom hits me in the face and I frantically try reading few different books at a time to keep up my pace of reading books. God alone knows when I am acting frantic or why I am in a hurry to read books. I guess.. it is the competitive streak in me that is reigning. I tabulated the number of books that I read in a month and what do you know , I have begun to become competitive in that I want to see more number of books that I am able to cover in a month. Suddenly just over 3 books over a month is not enough. Grace! Where did all these obsession with numbers start? I wonder.

Anyways I just got my hands on a fascinating book and it is just 79 pages (soft copy and printed on both ends as *.pdf). Oh boy don't I just love this book except that the more that I read it the more that I am engrossed. The more that I can't help grinning and the book my eyes starts skimping and glistening over the words that the author writes. I like the way he write also because he shows that he has a good sense of humor but then again how much less should I expect that from an American. 

The book if you really need to know is titled as "4-hour workweek". At first I rolled my eyes thinking that how could I work less than 12 hours a day and earn $40,000 a month. The author must be nuts I think to myself... and yet... he is interesting.. well so far.

Will update if I managed to finish all 79 pages tonight :-)

Law of Attraction : Your Invisible Power

Today I read another fascinating book - soft copy no matter but it is a book on its own. The title of the book is "Your Invisible Power" by Genevieve Behrend.

Behrend is a lady who in 1921 understood and practiced the Law of Attraction. I found that her words on the laws of attraction were spot on. It is amazing that people in the 1920's such as Behrend and her guru - Thomas Troward knew and practiced the fundamentals laws of universe. Funnily I too understood the laws of the universe many years back as a little girl and a teen. I understood that something out there is the universe i.e God was the master behind the world and God grants whatever you ask so long as you have wished it from the heart.

Throughout her book - Behrend repeatedly mentioned "as a man thinketh, so his heart is. This goes to say that whatever your heart thinks and wants, it will be. James Allen - the author of the book entitled "As a man thinketh" also repeatedly emphasized that you will be what you WILL to be and that your mind is like a sponge that absorbs all the thoughts that goes in your mind and thus it is important for your mind to remain positive always.

Hmm... I cherish this book. I really like the way that she wrote.. so eloquent yet so easy to read.. the way I would write though I would not have known the right words to pen down :-)

All these books and the words that keep relating back to the law of attraction only serves to infuse me more that it the law of the universe exists out there and not only in my mind as a childhood belief or a mind fantasy. How my hearts sings to know that what I have secretly always believed is really true i.e that the master is the universe itself.

What I REALLY WANT In Life

Amazing that when I think back on all the things that I wanted to do in life since I was young and is not ...I feel irritated. How could life passed on by so fast? Have I missed life so much by denying myself all the good things in life and concentrating on work?

Right now... I want to get myself have a car. A nice sleek car that will get my butt moving. I can visualize all the places that I will am cruising to so many places to with my car.

Books That I Want To Finish Reading in 2010

I came across one website where this lady was creating bento style lunch boxes for her son. I was so amazed with the way that she made lunch looks so appetizing. Her love for her son in so evident. This is the first time I realized that other than taste, visual appearance of food alone can make one salivate. Funny... I never had issues with this before as for me.. food is food.

Anyways.. I digress as usual. I learn that it was good to jot down all the things you want to do at a time and how wonderful it was to strike them out you have completed the task - via online.

INSPIRATION: As A Man Thinketh by James Allen

Today I read the most fascinating book I have read for some time. Back in my teenage years... I used to love all those hard copy non fiction book being the serious girl that I was that hungered for factual information other than historical books.

James Allen's "As a Man Thinketh": is a splendid book. I tried not reading it at first thinking that it was too hard core in that there would be alot of thinking and facts etc... but now I am glad that I have read the book.


I picked these words from the book that had a profound effect on  me. Note all words are copyrighted of James Allen - granted.

1. You will be what you will to be
2. Thought is the fount of action, life and
   manifestation; make the fountain pure, and all will be pure.
3. Until thought is linked with purpose there is no intelligent
   accomplishment.
4. A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart,
   and set out to accomplish it.
5. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal
   is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.
6. Keep your hands firmly upon the helm of thought. 
7. In the core of your soul reclines the commanding Master; He does but
   sleep; wake Him. Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery.
   Calmness is power. Say unto your heart, "Peace. Be still!"

Things That I AM GRATEFUL for Yesterday and Today

It has been awhile that I haven't blogged my grateful log :-(
I miss this but I have been so tired all this while not to mention busily checking and replying emails.
Anyways here are the list that I am grateful for:

1. I went for the 5 days training (Day 1& 2). It is not my kind of exam review - but it was good for my soul :-) I was definitely glad that I went for it coz I never liked to memorising things.
2. Yeah to PMP ... I find myself more spirited to complete the exam. No longer do I have reservations and trepidation on this.
3. I managed to score quite high in those exams that I did in a hurry and put on my focus the brain on the paper sort of concept. It worked.. FOCUSING that is. I managed to score 25/25 for my 5 test with the other 3 scoring 22/25 and the first test that I did rather badly - 18/25. Yeah to me! Yeah to scoring high for exams!!!
4. I managed to get a seat in the train the whole week which was so blissful :-) I managed to make do with cat naps, reading and answering emails, editing minutes and creating summary list etc.
5. I liked being loved and cared for :-)
6. I like that people especially men! who likes the smell of my perfume. It is always good to be noticed and admired ;-)
7. I managed to finished the first book in July 2010 after my 20 books half year book reading marathon. The book was on romance (blush!). If you need to ask - it is because I wanted some romance in my life and if you cannot get it in real life... why live it in my dreams :-)
8. I look good the whole week. Pretty and professional.
9. I felt good the whole week - pretty confident all through.
10. My big big boss answered my emails - at least he shows that he cares for me by responding to my emails.

12. I completed 2 more books today: As a Man Thinketh and 5 People You Meet In Heaven
13. To good surprises each and many more capabilities and strengths!

Progressive Reading

Here are the books that I am in the midst if reading. Again do not be alarmed... I tend to read few books in succession. This must say alot of my personality in that I do not focus on one thing (sigh). Another brushing I have to do on my ego :-p

1. Eat That Frog - Stop Procrastination - Brian Tracy
2. Negotiation - Art of Getting What U want - Michael Schatzki
3. Reservation Road - John Burnham Schwartz

Books I Completed Reading in July 2010

I am proud to say that as of yesterday (2 July 2010), I managed to complete the book -
Julia Quinn - Blydons 2 - Dancing at Midnight

Today (3rd July), I.. yes.. I.. my remarkable self (and I say this in innocence and in wonderment) has successfully completed 2 books. Gosh for myself... this is a feat... I am surprising myself day by day with the new capabilities that I have somehow latched on.


3 July 2010 - Completed 2 books:
5 People You Meet In Heaven - Mitch Albom
As a Man Thinketh - James Allen

5 July 2010 - Completed 1 Book:
The Way of the Bow - Paul Coelho

9 July 2010 - Completed 1 Book:
Your Invisible Power - Genevieve Behrend

18 July 2010 - Completed 1 Book:
The Secret - Rhonda Byrne. (I finally read this book. Not so crazy about this like I did with Behrend and Michael Losier's book. Still... it empowers me. It makes me realise that the power of the universe is limitless and I do not need to see it as a chore but a fact of life.. something that is always there for me to reach and be worthy of :-)

25 July 2010 - Completed 1 Book:
Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carrol (I could not resist reading it yet again... I always thought the story was interesting but complex and it was not quite finished - I mean there should be a part 2 story to it).
I hope to complete many more books :-) especially those that I have read and progressively did not complete reading whilst I picked one after another book to read.
