In January 2008, I blogged about the power of the human brain. I ended that by saying we acknowledge that there is more to the matter but I sort of left it hanging. Anyways, I am going to continue that the topic about the human brain. First of all there a few things to understand. We are a huge form of energy. Now I know how this can be a little hard to understand, but bear with me. Let’s break it down. We accept the fact that we are all made of matter. (Organs > Tissues > Cells > and eventually atoms.) But try going deeper into these atoms and you’ll find out that it is basically energy hence that’s how I came up with the conclusion that we are a huge form of energy. We know energy is all around us. It has been there from the beginning changing from one form to another form. (Energy cannot be created nor destroyed). Using this simple idea we go into a broader topic.

I am now going to say that we are connected to everything there is in the universe. If we are a huge form of energy and energy is all around us, it simply means we are related in one way or another. This is what quantum physicist are actually saying. That every thought has a frequency and this is a direct link between the human brain and the universe. More simply known as the LAW OF ATTRACTION. This law is said to be one of the natural laws of the universe. For example, you attract to you what you think about and this is regardless of whether it’s a good thought or a bad thought. Similar to gravity, if a person jumps down a tall building, he is going to die and that is regardless of whether he’s a good guy or a bad guy. Thought = creation. If these thoughts are attached to powerful emotions (good or bad) that speeds the creation. You attract your most dominant thoughts.

The problem is, people tend to think about what they don't want and attract more of the same. Most people I talk to say, ‘No Suresh, everything just happens, it maybe luck, being at the right place at the right time e.t.c.’ But nope, this is not wishful thinking. You are the masterpiece of your life. Everything that has happened in your life to this day, you attracted. You may not realise it but it’s true. But that is what you need to realise. You can change it. Just like that, you can change it. You see, whatever you are now is the result of your previous thoughts, it’s the result of what you attracted before and if that makes you happy then by all means good for you, but that’s never the case. Every one of us has problems. One simple way of overlooking these problems is to look at the big picture. Below I have shown in the form of a graph of SUCCESS against AGE.



It’s this extrapolation that most people have problems with. There is no hard proof because it hasn’t happened. We are brought up in a society that says you have to see something to believe it. And yes we see success, most of the time in others and we get inspired but there is always that voice at the back of your mind saying ‘Maybe he was lucky’ or ‘I don’t think that can happen to me’. The most important thing for you to see is, that extrapolation line of your life. Too many people focus on that small offset in the magnified section. Look at the BIG PICTURE!!

Let’s go back to the graph above. That extrapolation is always the hardest thing to do, but try to look at it this way. Look at the picture below. You being the driver only see so much ahead of you. But if you’re making a trip at night say from Bandar Seri Begawan to Kuching. That light shone in front of you is enough to bring you to your destination. You do not see the whole road. But you know you have a destination to reach and you let the road unfold in front of you. That’s our job. Don’t focus so much on how you’re going to get or achieve what you want (off course hard work is vital) but focus on what you want. As simple as that. If you read biography of successful people. 90 percent of them had no clue how they were going to be successful. But they just saw themselves successful (The remaining 10percent were born rich)



One good way to help motivate yourself is to have a vision board. I made one and used it as my wallpaper on my computer screen. Cut pictures out and stick it on this board. If you want to be rich, stick an empty cheque and write whatever the amount of money you want. If you want to drive the car you dream about. Stick that car on the board. You get the general idea. Be realistic but at the same time don’t be afraid to think big. Look at this board everyday and close your eyes and imagine that you have already received what you want. I know it’s hard initially but once you get the hang of it, daimm you’re going to have fun.

Some of you might have your doubts. I was one of them. But do you know an experiment was done. A group of Olympic runners were wired up in a lab and connected to computers all in a seated position. They were told to run the Olympic race in their mind. And you know what the results showed? Each and every muscle that would work in the actual race was working while they were sitting in their seats as if they were running the actual race. This is the whole idea. The body can’t tell that you are sitting down. As far as the body is concerned, you think it, it does it. And at the end of the day what have you got to lose? Nothing, it’s harmless to think good things for yourself and best of all, it’s free. I am everything I wanted to be. I am where I wanted to be in my career, I have achieved whatever my goals were financially, I am already married, I am already a father, I am already enjoying going around the whole world after my retirement. I am all this things. I am everything I wanted to be in my mind.

We all go through rough times, and we need this sometimes because we as individuals get stronger from these situations. But more often we tend to be negative in our thought. That is just the way you sculpted yourself. Change it. Negative thoughts = negative energy and you don’t want to emit negative energy. 1) You’re only hurting yourself. 2) You slowly tend to repel people from you. Change negativity easily. If you’re in a bad mood, do something you love. For me, I love listening to country music while playing my car games. You don’t even realise you were in a bad mood. Or sometimes I could just talk to someone. It’s that easy.

So remember... DREAMS WERE MADE TO COME TRUE. Make your own vision board and be full of GRATITUDE. BUT MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, REMEMBER TO SHOWER YOURSELF WITH COMPLIMENTS! oh and if you have the chance, buy the book 'The Secret' or you could even buy the video. You'd understand everything to a greater depth.

My family came to the UK during Easter this year and it was nice to see them after nearly 8months. We had a great time. Drove all around the UK, before going to Amsterdam for 3 days. Amsterdam with family? You may ask. Hmm, it was really fun actually. We visited all the family oriented areas. A pottery factory, the flower gardens, a cheese factory, a clog factory, the Rijks museum (home to the famous painting by Rembrandt ‘The night watch’ and a diamond cutting factory. The highlight of the Amsterdam trip has got to be on the second night. You see my dad has always had this dream of going on a canal cruise ride in Amsterdam with his whole family to have cheese and wine. (Don’t ask me why but yea.) Anyways, the man goes and books a canal cruise called the ‘lovers candlelight cruise’. That was the beginning to a very long night. So we went there that night and saw that we were surrounded by couples, which was kind of embarrassing, Naveen and me were even considering going as a gay couple just to be a little less embarrassed. But as the cruise started we got used to it.

Part of the cruise was that the boat would stop in the red light district and we will have a look around. Since the beginning of the trip, I had already been feeling very uncomfortable with going to the area. My mom and sis were so adamant saying they need to go and see the place. So we walked thru the streets. Naveen and I decided to walk behind the crowd far away from mom and dad. It proved to be the worst decision we ever made. Suddenly my mom goes “SURESH! SURESH! Did you see that?? There there on your right... The girl in the window!!! And before I could say anything. SURESH. Look here on the left. OMG, THEY look sooo YOUNG!! , this is so sad..........” And she went on and on. Of cause by this time everyone had been looking at her and me as well. I had to go to her and say. “Ma!! Stop screaming... I am a guy, my face is pointed straight, but my eyes are looking left and right and if you being a woman can notice so many things, imagine what I can notice.“ so, we continued walking and passed by this window with this hot chick with a thong showing her ass outwards. And suddenly out of nowhere I feel an arm around my shoulder. It was my dad and he goes “So Suresh? What do you think? Not bad aye..?” I was quite shocked by this and all I could do was smile. (sigh) haha.. Okay so, it wasn’t that long a night but the cruise itself took 4 hours plus the walk. All in all, it was a good trip and it was my first time to Europe (minus UK)so it was memorable.

Oh well, it’s that time of year for us Uni students where exam and assignment due dates are getting nearer. I wanna wish everyone good luck in their finals and also, keep a positive mind. Remember, it’s all in the mind. Positive thinking is not the right way. Positive Affirmative thinking is the right way.

A close friend told me the song below helps calm her down and asked me to listen to it, and it does work for me as well. Let’s hope it can help you guys too.

It's been three weeks I've done absolutely nothin at all. It's now the third week of holiday but i've had three weeks off already, having skipped the entire last week of spring term! I'm as lazy as f**k! Please motivate me to get some work done!

Besides the occasional pool/heavy dinner/park/nottingham and etc etc sessions with shuv, shuyee and syaheir, the main highlight of my Easter break has got to be the Malaga trip! Here are some of the photos.

Malaga is well worth the visit! I can officially say Spain is my favourite country so far in europe. The people are friendly (and hot too!), the city is lively and full of festivals. The food is delish! Oh do stay in casa babylon. It's a good place to meet people and the hosts are graceful. With shisha and drinks, it really is a good chillout place to stay after a good day out.

HAPPY EASTER!

They say when Adam and Eve were expelled from Eden, they were worlds apart, crying, and they say Adam cried for years and years, until he could rejoin Eve. Eve understood she could see Adam again, she opened the braids of her long long hair and braided her hair again and moved, they say the place she combed her hair was India, and that’s why India smells of heavenly spices, that’s why is the land of love, mystic beauty and calm.

The story could be just a story, but the fact is India is unique, a place where a billion people live side by side and the technology doesn’t scare the respected animals away. It’s the place where the affiliates of different religions pay respect to the graves of saints of other religions. Religion could be a cause of problem, but not like any other place in the world, you can see the followers of different religions that might seem to be contradicting, live peacefully in the same areas. It’s the place visitors from the world step into, to get blessed with the peace it emanates.

Our hearts mourn with you India..

I had a long day today. I got back home, made a nice cup of milo, did some reading to prepare ahead of a risk assessment seminar for tomorrow. I then decided to call it a day and went to bed. While listening to Mariah Carey’s ‘bye bye’ i suddenly started thinking of my grandmother. It suddenly struck me that shes gone. I mean i knew she died but all this while even when she died i never shed a tear. I was sad.. Yes.. but i never shed a tear. And now its October 21st. Exactly 3 months later from the day she died. And it hit me that she’s gone and i suddenly miss her so much.

My mom’s birthday is on October 16th. In fact it was just last Thursday and while talking on the phone with her i happened to ask her. “Ma, so who called you today?” and she replied the names of the people who had done so and then suddenly started to tear up. I asked her what was wrong, and she said. “Every year my parents will call me and wish me 1st thing in the morning at 7am. Last year both my father and mother called me and wished me, in one year i have lost both my father and mother.” I felt so bad for her and didn't know what to say.

Life really is short, my friend in Kuala Belait also lost a dear one just a few days ago. I mean yea, we always say that life’s short and that we should make the most of it. The thing is.. Are we making the most of it?

Well, personally i don't really know what making the most of it means. I interpret it to mean, doing things to make your loved ones happy. For eg. My mother always says ‘love you suresh’ at the end of our phone conversations. My exact reply would normally be ‘hmm ok, bye’ i mean i just couldn’t say it and so for me i have begun ‘making the most of it’ by starting to say ‘love you too’ back to my mom. And i know its hard to tell through the phone. But every time i say it now i can just tell by her voice that she is so happy.

‘Three small words for a man. One giant leap for a loved one.‘ quote by me . lol

My biggest regrets? Definitely not as dramatic as su! Seriously, i don’t think anyone can beat su. I mean that guy ran into troubles more than anyone of us! At one point, he was punished by having to open and close the gates continuously for 1 hour! It must have really caught the joggers in his neighborhood by surprise and much curiosity. The moral of the lesson is: Open the gate when your dad is coming home! And to close it, DO NOT swing it close.

One thing common between my dad and his dad is their full-time discipline enforcement at home. Our dads are nice friendly and all on the exterior. They behave like the most carefree person ever. But back home, they are one hell of a disciplinary dad. Here’s five of my dad’s strangest set of rules for my family:

a. Drink PLENTY of water. Everyone one of us, me, my bro and my mum must bring a bottle of water wherever we go. Everytime when i texted him just to say hi, his typical reply would be: “OK take care. Drink plenty of water.”

b. Wash our feet when we get home. My whole family has this habit of going to the toilet every single moment we stepped into the house. “It is to keep the house to clean”

c. Cars must be washed and kept clean. I used to having to clean my car at least once a week. But now thanks to my super maid, she does it for me :D And the worse thing is, we had to wash it. Not just wipe it with soaked clothes. "Cos the grains of sand could actually scratch the car"

d. DO NOT drink. I’m not allowed to drink any alcoholic drinks beside shandy. But he himself does it a lot. He goes to KL like goin to work at night. Well he used to. He changed in that sense.

e. NO snacks. Well, not too much anyway. Seriously, I’m not allowed to have too many crackers or chocolatey biscuits or MILO! He thinks they are what the chinese say “hot”. Not good for the body. He says we could get ill or sore our throat.

Overall, he’s amazing though. I learnt a hell lot from him. One day when i have a kid or kids, I’m gonna be just like him! I love dad.

Hao

a) (1990, age 4) - Calling a friend in kindergarden 1 stupid and as a result being scolded for the 1st time in my life in School

b) (1992, age 6) - Fooling the girl i had a crush on to show me her panties in Primary 1 and she threatened to tell her parents if i didn't do her homework. I am still in contact with her now, but i don't think she reads this blog.

c) (1993, age 7) - Fooling around with the neighbors daughter and she told my mom later that day. The look my mom gave me. It still haunts me. As for the girl, they left for the UK later that year.

d) (1993, age 7) - Bought marbles with money i found in my moms handbag and her finding the bag of 100 marbles in my drawer.

e) (1994, age 8) - Having sleepless nights because i didn't have the money to pay for a calligraphy pen i broke, i spent 5 days hiding out in the flats behind St Georges from 12.30pm to 5.30pm.

f) (1999, age 13) - Burning a certain someone in her hands and being questioned by her parents.

g) (2000, age 14) - Always borrowing money in form 1,2 and 3 and not knowing how to pay back. {p.s. i paid her back}

h) (2000, age 14) - Telling an uncle to his face to talk in Indian if he cant talk proper English. {i was known as the family "kurang ajar"}

i) (2000, age 14) - Not being able to look at parents for 6months in the eye after having carved 2 rectangles on my spectacle lenses.

j) (2006, age 20) - The moment my Prado started spinning in Subok. There was a person walking on the pavement. I saw her but managed to avoid her.

I did realize something though, as i grew older i tend to hurt others less, which is a good thing. :D haha.. I wrote down all this things to remind myself that though at that moment i was very very scared for the things i had done, i realized i moved on and now looking back at what i did, it all seems very funny (EXCEPT for the PRADO INCIDENT) I did learn a lesson from that though.. NEVER ever think you can make a 135 degree turn in a prado at 90kmph.. :D

Be prepared to read a boring blog, written by a person with zero communicative skills. =D And also one who has an attention span of a goldfish as her mind is already drifting away not wanting to blog. As she is currently being told off by a friend (of the name Ton Sigar) to keep up the pace, she will make efforts to keep readers of the Chindians occupied after a hiatus of more than two months.

The day started with Su and Ton going to bed at the crack of dawn, coinciding with Mei waking up. Whatever Shuv was up to at this point remains unknown, but we can presume that she was somewhere in Dream. To these four, the coalescence occurred in Birmingham. That being said, the blogger lied about being brummie for the day. We were obviously just dropping by the place (Sorry to state the obvious, although not really sorry at the same time). Even Ton, being a resident in Brum, isn't really a Brummie, is he? [On a side note, his day just turned upside due to a lost by Man U.]

The day ended when Shuv left for Loughborough. Enough said.

Between the start and day, there was never anything special. That is, of course, not to say we did not enjoy our day trip. It is out of the ordinary that the best can come out. And that best definitely came out. We had good meals, good shops, good coffee and most of all good laughs.

At this point, the blogger truly cannot be bothered anymore. The only thing she may regret (and if she should it would not be long) is her entry deteriorated the quality the Chindians have striven for.

A man calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program.

The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.

She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company.

The sign reads, "If you can catch me, you can have me."

Without a second thought, he takes off after her.

A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up.

The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens.

On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised.

He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program.

The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning and beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life.

She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, "If you catch me you can have me."

Well, he's out the door after her like a shot.

This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck. So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.

Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised.

He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program.
"Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone. "This is our most rigorous program."

"Absolutely," he replies, "I haven't felt this good in years."

The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, "If I catch you, you are mine!!!"

He lost 63 pounds that week.

A guy is riding the bus when at a stop, the most beautiful woman he has ever seen gets on. The only problem is that she is a nun.

He decides to approach her anyway. "Sister, you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen and I must have sex with you." he says.

"I'm sorry but I've given my body to God." she replies and then leaves.

Suddenly the bus driver turns around to the guy and says "I know a way you can get her in the sack."

The bus driver tells the guy about how the nun goes to confessional everyday at 3 in the afternoon.

The bus driver tells the guy his plan and the guy leaves happy knowing he's going to get some.

The next day at 3 the guy is in the booth dressed as a priest. When the nun approaches in the darkness he says "Sister, God has told me I must have sex with you."

She replies "Well if God has said it, we must do it. However because of my strong commitment to God I will only take it up the ass."

The guy figures this isn't a problem and proceeds to have the best sex ever.

After it is over he whips off his outfit and says, "Surprise I'm the guy on the bus."

With that the nun turns around and says, "Surprise I'm the bus driver."

----------------------------------------------------------

Girl: "Forgive me father for I have sinned."
Priest: "What have you done my child?"
Girl: "I called a man a son of a bitch."
Priest: "Why did you call him a son of a bitch?"
Girl: "Because he touched my hand."
Priest: "Like this?" (as he touches her hand)
Girl: "Yes father."
Priest: "That's no reason to call a man a son of a bitch."
Girl: "Then he touched my breast."
Priest: "Like this?" (as he touched her breast)
Girl: "Yes father."
Priest: "That's no reason to call him a son of a bitch."
Girl: "Then he took off my clothes, father."
Priest: "Like this?" (as he takes off her clothes)
Girl: "Yes father."
Priest: "That's no reason to call him a son of a bitch."
Girl: "Then he stuck his you know what into my you know where."
Priest: "Like this?" (as he stuck his you know what into her you know where)
Girl: "YES FATHER, YES FATHER, YES FATHER!!!"
Priest: (after a few minutes): "That's no reason to call him a son of a bitch."
Girl: "But father he had AIDS!"
Priest: "THAT SON OF A BITCH!!!"
