26th September 2009.
It has been 1 year. And I still miss you very much.
Time really flew.
Your departure has changed my life, everyone's life.
And it has been one year.
I had a lot of dreams about you in this 1 year.
I dream of you talking to me at your house. I dream of you cooking at your house. I dream of you bringing me out to walk. I dream of you holding my hand. I dream of you being taken away from me...
Even when I'm taking my afternoon nap in hostel, I dreamed of you waking me up for class.
I always dream of you, and sometimes I wake up hoping they are not dreams...
Every time I think of you, I just couldn't hold back my tears.
阿嬷, 我想念你。

Anothy Robbins Live Thoughts
During the 2nd, 3rd and 4th day of the event, there are alot of lessons on Peak Performances. There are true reasons on why we are not using our fullest potential to work, why we are not maximising the energy of our body, and how our body is really working...
If we can make full use of our energy, and treat our body well with what we eat, we will be able to perform at our peak.
There are times when we feel so motivated to do something, the feeling is so great that we must get it done by hook or by crook, but everytime when we reach home, we just leave the thought behind, and 'I will do it tomorrow'...
The problem usually lies with the severity of the work to be done. People seldom do things, unless it has become an utmost importance, one that is "do-or-die"... then people start doing. We may have a project due in 1 month's time. But 1 month seems long. So we wait till 2 weeks later...
2 weeks later, we still have some time to spare, so may next week. However, time seems to travel faster than we think, and suddenly, deadline is just the next day. At that point, even though we are at our lowest energy level, we are able to stay up whole night, just to finish that project.
This goes the same for bad health habits like smoking. People know smoking can cause cancer, smoking can kill. But why they still smoke? It is because at that point of time when they smoke, they equate "Smoke=Pleasure". If I smoke, I'm happy, relaxed, energized. However, when the doctor has told them, "The next cigarette will really kill you!! " Then, they equate "Smoke=Death". That's when they stop and quit.
Another famous example. People go clubs and pubs and when they drink too much, they tend to vomit out. Then, they have severe headaches the next day, and keep vomiting... and they may even say " I'm not going to drink that much again, pain is killing me!!"
But you see them drinking as usual 1 week later. Why? You heard them saying they are not drinking that much again, but As usual, you see them get drunk, vomiting, fever...etc. Funny right? This is because the moment when they decide to drink again, there is No Pain! They have forgotten about the pain they had the past week when they are dead-drunk.
Everytime before we repeat those self-destruction process again, let's remind ourselves of the pain we had the previous time. This will really help us think twice/ thrice to do it again.
Our energy level is also a v great reflection of what we have been putting into our mouth. After this event, I knew that we have been putting in alot of Poisons into our body, and they greatly reduces our energy level in our body. There are also alot of myths on healthy eating and exercising which are not helping our body, but damage our body more!
With that, I had a 10-day challenge for myself. From 7th to 17th September, I followed a tight schedule and diet as stated in Anothny Robbins' book. Just a brief summary what I did these 10 days.
I exercised 3 times/week, for me, its mon, wed, fri. 7-10 mins of warm-up, 30 mins run, 7-10 mins cool down. Then I continued with push-ups, pushing myself to the limit, doing 5 more when my arm is shaking. Muscles don't grow when doing pushups from 1-20. They grow by 90% at the 21st onwards, when you are about to shout '' I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!".
After my exercise, I took a pear for my breakfast, + water! No bread, no cakes, no coffee, no tea. breakfast is the time when our stomach just got warmed-up. And we should not force our stomach with pastries and creams early in the morning.
People say... 早餐吃得饱，午餐吃得好，晚餐吃得少。
" A Full Breakfast, A Good Lunch and have the least for Dinner."
Now, I only agree to the last part - 晚餐吃得少. True, we should not eat too much for dinner, as it is the time when we are going to sleep. Lunch, should be the time when we want to eat more! We still have a long way to go for the day, and that's only the time we are allowed to eat more.
We should also not focus mainly on these 3 main meals-Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. It is recommended to eat light every 3 hours, instead of heavy eating during these 3 normal meals. Frequent intake of small amount of food gives us energy to work through the day, instead of heavy meals, which just made us sleep. XD
I drank more water per day than I used to. This is just to keep body hydrated, and it is recommended to drink water every 15-20 mins. We can't wait till we feel thirsty then drink water. By that time, cells are dead! And the simple way to test if your body is hydrated, I think everybody knows- look at your urine.
Maybe you guys can try out:D
I had a great 10 day challenge. Energy level is really different, and try it out you guys will know! :D
I'm gonna set another challenge soon! :D
Have fun guys :D

UPW - The FireWalk! You don't have to, but you will WANT TO!
Day 1 of the 4 day Session...
Other than seeing Tony Robbins as a real person on stage talking for 7 hrs straight, the highlight is the
FIREWALK!! Yea!
"Walk on Fire?"
Yes! Walk on REAL Fire!
So let me tell you the experience and what this firewalk really means ( you don't just walk for fun, do you?) haha...
First in the day, we are given a briefing of what the whole 4 day session will be like, and
I get to see Tony Robbins for the 1st time!! after watching his videos and seeing him in books...
He is really a GIANT!! over 2m tall i think.lol
He Rocked the stage, Rawked the Audience, the even Rawked the Whole Expo Hall!
Time just flew, and the 1st time i checked my watch, it's 2pm....
2nd time, its 5pm...
3rd time... its 9 .30pm!!
Time for FirewalK! haha..
As what he said, if you do something you like, time really flies!!... e.g. Playing your favourite sport game, playing computer games, playing mahjong, watching football matches, being out there with your love ones... don't you think so? Time Really Disappears!
On the other hand, time seems to be dragging... in lectures, memorising textbooks... zzz...
Yup! Time for Firewalk!!
The RED HOT BURNING COALS are Ready!!
They are burning at the back of Expo Hall 2.
Look at the crowd!! haha. So many people are going to walk the Fire!! haha!! That's my Firewalk buddy from Indonesia (2 thumbs up!).
Yup!
I took my first step, all ready...
and next my partner,
then Val!
Yea! I'm opposite site taking picture :D The guy is spraying on people's feet to remove any hot coals stuck between toes...
And Yes! We 3 made it across the hot coals!
But me and my Indonesian friend went One more time!! haha. It's damm thrilling :D haha...
That's my foot, Bingyang's foot, and Val's foot. Nothing much u can see from here, haha. Our foot dint get burned to ashes after the walk, or become cooked meat either. haha. Maybe some of my leg hair got removed by the fire? haha...
That's the highlight of the evening, and probably the Whole event!
If you are given the chance, will you walk? haha... Maybe, maybe not...
It is really hard for someone to walk on hot coals, if they are not mentally prepared! This is true, and very very true.
Taking the first step out is the hardest step in doing everything, even the smallest thing, people will procrastinate... (Switch Off the TV to go do some exercise?) It's normal... for normal people.
People who are unable to control their mind can do everything. Everything is Possible...
But for someone who can't control their mind, everything is impossible...
If you can control what your mind is thinking, changing focus and physiology (done in a second), you can do the impossible! :D And that's what we do to prepare ourselves for the FIRE!!
Ya... You can say its crazy... won't your leg get burn? haha. Fyi, Firewalking has been done for hundreds of years in other countries and in some religious practices... and they are still walking on fire!
Firewalking can be done, if you know how to do it :D
Surely, you are NOT going to step on the hot coals and think...
"Oh shi*, I'm gonna die in this fire!!"
"My foot is burning!!"
"Will my leg get cooked?"
"I will never be able to walk again!!"
Haha... if that's what spinning in the mind, obviously you can't walk! haha...
It's the same; Before you start your car engine, you are thinking...
"Ah, My Engine gonna explode once I turned it on..."
"My tyres will burst once I move my car out..."
"I'm gonna meet an accident later..."
"OH NO!, I think I gonna die on the road!!"
Crazy it may seems, but these are the kind of funny ideas that came into our mind whenever we want to do something, so in the end, we do not do it. We know ourselves best, and we know what kind of excuses we give ourselves, lie to ourselves, so that we won't have to do it...
Nah, that's NOT the way to think!!
The best way to kill Procrastination is to TAKE ACTION!
Stop letting your mind find excuses to satisfy itself!
JUST DO IT!
Let ++++ Positives+++++ fill your mind instead!!
Yup, so for guys who have walked on the FIRE before, maybe it is the worst thing they have walked on so far in their lives...What can be worse than this?...
That's a great experience indeed. You guys should try, but not at HOME! haha.
Check out for next post! :D

Can I say Michael Jackson is still ALIVE?
Watch the video first!
Did you see Michael Jackson jumped out of the Coroner's van alive?
So is he still alive?
So do is he just faking his death?
Ok. That video may be a shock to you. It released a few weeks after news reporting his death. Ya! News has reported his death, and the whole world knew he's dead!
But who do you see in the video?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Alright, the guy who jumped out is not Michael Jackson. The fact that Michael Jackson is dead, is True. And, this video is FAKE too!!
News have reported that this video is created by a company to see 'how easily people can be manipulated on the internet with hoax videos'. And indeed, there are really people who believe it!
And words just spread all over internet, with the video now watched by over a million people.
Information on the internet can be misleading, and one's proper judgment and analysis is important to deem if information is reliable.
Again, this video is fake, and share it with your friends if you want! (see what kind of response you'll receive! :D)
