Long Vacation!

I've recently been re-watching Long Vacation.
It's a J-Dorama from way back in 1996. I first caught the show around 1998 (can't believe it's been 10 years!!) when it was shown on the local channels. That was during the start of the J-Pop wave during the early 2000's. Re-watching the drama reminded me why I was so into Jap stuff during that time. The show emphasized the culture and economic backdrop of Asia and Japan during that period. The characters were so real and you could actually feel for them as you go through the series. I would definitely recommend anyone to go watch the drama if you haven't caught if before or rewatch it if you already did. It's really good!! This series was the first in many hits for Kimura Takuya btw.

Anyway, Tomoko Yamaguchi caught my eye... again. Totally mesmerised all over again by that beautiful smile of hers! Can't believe that she was in her early 30's when she acted in Long Vacation. Here's a recent picture of her (I think she actually got slimmer since 1996):

She's already 44 and still looks so good!! *melts*

This is NOT an affiliate link. The only reason I'm promoting this is because I want some company to go with me!!! It's lonely to go alone and hey, it's always better to go with friends and learn in a group. You know what they say "hao dong si yao fen xiang". It means "good things must share"! So that's why I'm promoting this on my blog. I think this is going to be pretty helpful. And what's the opportunity cost? One weekend spent learning and expanding your knowledge on investment and property. Now I wouldn't call that an opportunity cost at all. Nope, it's called an investment in time! And again it's FREE!! What more do you need to convince you.

The Secret Revealed!

I came across this video about The Secret recently. You know the small little book in bookstores? Yeah that's the one. If you've been wondering what exactly is this Secret thing about, wonder no further. This video will reveal exactly what the Secret is. It is in a nutshell the Law of Attraction. It is about 25 mins long but trust me, it is absolutely worth your time to watch it. Go check it out.

--> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b1GKGWJbE8

I've always believed in the power of the subconscious mind. I believe I mentioned in a previous post that our physical realities are shaped by our thoughts. Good or bad, we become what we think. It is so very important for us to be able to control our thoughts. This is no easy task, but the good thing is, it'll get easier as you continue to practice and apply it.

The reason why I wanted to share this video with you is because I believe that this is a fundamental secret of life that all of us should know. Whether you believe it or not, your thoughts are shaping the universe around you. Everything that you think about will manifest itself in physical forms.

--> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b1GKGWJbE8

Have you ever wonder why things happen exactly the way you don't want it to happen? Well that's because you keep thinking about it! Your thoughts attract the things that you think about, whether good or bad, and manifest them in their physical forms. Now think about the good side, everytime you want something or want something to happen so badly, it will always work out. Why? Because you keep thinking about it! That is no mere coincidence, it happened because of YOU!

That is the power of the subconscious mind, or the Law of Attraction. If you want to find out more, go watch the video.

Viwawa-ing!

There's a recent craze which I've caught on. Check this site out.

http://www.viwawa.com/

That's right, it's MAHJONG!! Never thought I'd end up playing it. It's quite addictive I tell ya. I always had the image of my parents sitting down with relatives playing mahjong and whole night through and thought to myself, "Geez, that'll never happen to me". Well, I'm starting to appreciate why they do that now.

Anyway I've also bought a slew of books the past week. I'm starting to think books are my thing. Just like how girls like to buy bags or shoes, I like to buy books. Sounds like a real nerd I know. Books I bought: Vagabond 1 & 2 (by Takehiko Inoue), Trump: The Art of the Deal (by Donald Trump) and The Speed Reading Book (by Tony Buzan). I managed to get the Donald Trump book cheap at a second-hand bookstore in Bras Basah. Now, the challenge is to actually finish reading them!

I'll be able to lay my grubby hands on pictures of the Cos Living project soon. I'll upload them as soon as I do. Be prepared to be astonished! Meanwhile, look for me at viwawa.com. You'll know my name when you see it. =)

Download This FREE Website Builder!

While surfing the net, I happened to stumble across a free website builder offered by Ewen Chia and thought this was a great way for people to learn to built websites without having to buy expensive software like Dreamweaver or FrontPage, etc.

I've downloaded the software myself and fumbled a bit with it. The interface is pretty okay but of course not as professional as Dreamweaver. Hey, what do you expect from a free product. The software even includes video guides and tutorials for beginners to learn how to build websites. Plus there are links to teach you some Internet Marketing skills if you're into it. The products is basically a very scaled-down version of Dreamweaver. It's Graphical User Interface (GUI) is pretty decent, which means you can create a simple enough website with it even if you have no background with HTML codes.

I'll have you know before you click on the link that this product is offered by Ewen Chia. He is considered one of Singapore's top Internet Marketers so please be prepared to scroll through down some pages of his salescopies to get to the download link (it's right at the bottom if you wana know). The link itself is an affiliate link.

If all those above sounds foreign to you, don't sweat it. Just scroll right down to the bottom and download your free software. There's completely no payment involved for the website builder. You'll only have to pay if you want his other products. You can always read his salescopy and decide for yourself if you want his other products. Meanwhile just grab the website builder since it is FREE! (Hey, I've already downloaded the software myself!)

Go ahead.. You know you wana click on it.. =)

The Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires Program!

During the last post, I mentioned about gaining more financial knowledge in order to better plan your personal finances and improve your financial intelligence. This time round, I'm going to introduce to you one of the ways in which you can do just that.

Recently, I've been reading Adam Khoo's Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires. Why Adam Khoo, you ask me? Well I attended an incubation camp with him a couple of years back (2003, I think...) and I remember being very impressed with the things he taught us during the camp.

At first glance, Adam Khoo didn't look like he was a millionaire. He looked the opposite really. He was really young and didn't carry with him the aura that I expected from a self-made millionaire. But throughout the course, the things he spoke about struck a chord in me. He showed me how anybody (and I mean anybody) can be a millionaire just be acquiring basic financial skills and knowledge.

Things like leveraging on the power of compounding, creating multiple streams of income, the habits of self-made millionaires, the mindset of self-made millionaires (very important - I'll elaborate more on this in another post) were all revealed to me through the life-changing camp! The experience changed my whole perception of personal finance and gave a a much better understanding of the way money flows. My views were never the same after the camp!

Adam Khoo complied the materials into a CD course - the Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires program. I was very surprised that he did it. After all, the cost to attend the actual course is about $3,800. The price of the program CD program online is only S$147. You just download the materials all onto your hardisk. Simple and convenient all at the same time.

You can go take a look at the program by clicking on the image below. If you think it'll help you, go get it! I've personally been through the program and I highly recommend it. Otherwise you can check out the Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires book at all popular bookstores islandwide (it's going for S$30.00+). Take a look at the book and read through it first to get a better understanding of what it is all about.
