Gratitude Towards 77th Street for Sponsoring Leechie to Attend Anthony Robbins Live 2009 - Part 2

I believe tt things happen for a reason...juz like what Anthony Robbins said abt coincidences...coincidences dont juz happen by chance...coincidences happen cos u seek them! Well, leechie was feeling v.emo n tired abt a week or two ago...then i got the chance to attend this seminar...n i got to learnt how to stretch myself to stay in an energized peak state with only one meal break a day and long seminar hours n v.little sleep! Learnt to raise my standards and STEP UP! YES!!!

.

Hearing Anthony Robbins Live (Day 3):
The exercises tt we did today put us thru a wide range of emotions...trying to help us to experience how maximum pain would be if we would not change our bullshit limiting beliefs...damn scarry thots n feelings manz!!! After all these exercises, i'm glad to be able to gain better clarity towards stuff...Actually, the session was so intense (plus the v.fact tt i didnt take any lunch) tt leechie felt like throwing up during the session...n felt like fainting when i took my dinner subsequently...but i muz say tt it's time well-spent! Given a choice, i would still choose to attend this seminar n to do the firewalk!!!

.

During the exercises, i could recall scenes spent with my family as well as moments of gratitude v.easily...but I found myself struggling to recall romantic moments in my life...i guess tt is an area tt leechie gotta work on...i wanna hav at least some romantic moments tt i can recollect on my deathbed...Anthony Robbins mentioned something abt...som ppl are afraid to love cos they are scared of getting hurt...i guess there is alot of truth to tt...i guess leechie always makes the excuse tt i'm juz too busy to date...but tt is juz an excuse -> her story...i'm not gonna be an hypocreep here...the honest truth is...leechie is scared of getting hurt...my leechie heart is more fragile than what one would imagine...haiz...leechie muz b more brave...jia you!

.

It was a v.teary day for leechie but the energy tt we created today was simply awesome...there was even water splashing all over towards the end of the nite...my seminar workbook was wet manz! btw, leechie bumped into the same gentleman who teased leechie before the firewalk at the end of this evening...coincidence...

.

I could feel Anthony Robbins' geninue sincerity in wanting to help all the seminar participants! Relatively much lesser sales pitch as compared to a certain speaker tt i shall not name...out of due respect for this speaker's fantastic salesmanship n acute biz acumen...o.O"

.

Days 2 & 4:

We watched Anthony Robbins' precorded videos (apparently some of which were his videos from past "Unleash Your Power Within" seminars). I guess most of us would prefer to hear him speak live rather than via such videos -.-" We did alot of those massaging exercises during these 2 days...leechie massaging skills suck...but v.ticklish experiences for a leechie...i couldn't stop giggling whenever someone massaged my shoulders...@.@" And it was the first time in my leechie life tt leechie had 2 tai-tais massaging me simultaneously...n i muz say, they are really good with massages! So a tip here for those tai-tai wannabes -> perhaps it would give u an edge if you are really good at massaging? ;p

.

We also did alot of cheering and dancing and jumping around...leechie sat next to a 13 yr old gal on Day 2...she's also v.on so we had plenty of fun...but towards the end of the nite, leechie found it hard to really keep up with the energy level of a 13 yr old...@.@"

.

Day 4 was devoted to health stuff...on more healthy eating habits and ways of exercising...energy is v.impt for one to perform at peak state...

.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After hearing Anthony Robbins, T. Harv Eker, Robert Kiyosaki and Keith Cunningham speak live, i guess the next speaker tt leechie would be keen to hear him speak live would be Jay Abraham...the marketing guru! he came to singapore a couple of years ago...but leechie miz the chance to hear him speak then....

.

Sometimes, it feels abit surreal...but when i feel tired...i can draw strength from the v.fact tt leechie actually received a real physical push on the back from T. Harv Eker last year to motivate myself ya...i still feel honored when Robert Kiyosaki asked for my name when i attended his autograph signing session...leechie has 2 books with his autograph ;p then months later, Anthony Robbins stood less than 2 metres away from a leechie live in person...cool stuff manz! =)

"Way Back Into Love" -> one of leechie fav songs =)

Gratitude towards 77th Street for Sponsoring Leechie to Attend Anthony Robbins Live 2009 - Part 1

Look at the huge number of ppl queuing behind me, juz to get into the expo hall!!! @.@"

Leechie would like to express my heartfelt gratitude towards 77th Street and Ms. Elim Chew (leechie idol) for sponsoring me to attend the Anthony Robbins seminar! <3

.

Juz came back from Day 1: It's the first time tt leechie actually saw Anthony Robbins standing less than 2 metres in front of me LIVE! V.touched by the various stories tt he shared. Also inspired by Sister Teresa (who is 112 yrs old) who came. My leechie eyes were constantly wet...n wanna thank all the other participants for sharing...so tt leechie can learn more...

.

The FIREWALK experience:

When i told my fren earlier this morn tt leechie gonna do the firewalk...his response was like "siao...i love my feet"! leechie also loves her feet but LEECHIE DID THE FIREWALK! Yes, the coal was real, n the fire was real...REAL burning coal! But methinks whoever told me previously tt it doesnt hurt muz b juz trying to calm my leechie nerves only o.O"

.

Prior to the firewalk, we shared abt our fears n leechie thot tt the fire is juz like our fears n we hav to conquer our fears...if leechie can cross the fire, then i can conquer all my fears n b free of all my fears n i will be able to do anything! a gentleman shared with me tt the burning coal is juz like the path to success...n we have to take this path n he believes tt leechie can do it!

.

Lemme b honest here, leechie was damn nervous as i proceeded outside the hall...n a gentleman who was standing near me saw my "scarry cat" face n teased me n asked if leechie wanna make an U-turn...well, leechie was damn scared...but i always hear ppl talk abt doing the firewalk...so i'm damn determined to do the firewalk tonite! leechie was amongst the last few ppl to do the firewalk...n when i actually saw the burning coal...i was like "omg" n switched to another q whereby the coal looked more black n had lesser sparks (i thot tt was a good choice...apparently not, which i learnt later from my leechie mum who had done firewalk previously for religious reasons). The lady instructor pointed at my heart and asked me to focus...but when i saw the burning coal...leechie was freaked out manz...leechie is scared of heat...not to say fire...(i rem tt leechie always need my classmates to help me with boiling water during my high school lab experiments...cos too scared of the heat...) This time round, leechie had to conquer burning coal with nothing except my bare feet! Perhaps, leechie wasn't tt ready when she started the firewalk...cos when i put my first foot onto the burning coal...i was like "omg...this is damn painful!" and quickly stormed across the stretch of burning coal! In my haste, leechie even forgot to chant "cool moss" while doing so...but was really thankful when i reached the other side n the crew directed the water hose at my feet! leechie celebrated like crazy when i got to the other side! leechie even grabbed n hugged a lady who happened to b at the wrong place at the wrong time...lol ;p well, leechie lived to tell her firewalk experience! my leechie mum always teased me abt how i speak n walk too fast...well, walking fast does have its advantages ya ;p

.

When i returned to the hall, the other participants also shared abt their firewalk experiences...ya, they also feel the pain as they walked on coal...n many others also kenna burnt on their feet...leechie got a few blisters as well...a lady shared with me tt some senior mentors told her tt if one kenna burnt, then it meant tt one is not too certain abt one's goals! -.-" well, leechie's response to her was tt...the v.reason y i kenna burnt is bcos leechie has v.thin skin on my feet!ya, tt's y i usually kenna blisters whenever i wear new shoes (esp those not made of leather). n a medical doc shared with leechie previously tt the skin on our feet is v.thin...which is y scars formed more easily there...-.-" This is medical science vs urban legends! what is tis crap abt uncertain goals? tell me...even if one has damn damn certain goals but if one happens to hav damn thin skin on one's feet, would one still be burnt by burning coal? -.-" tell me!

.

Thanks 77th Street once again for sponsoring leechie's unforgettable firewalk experience! If i can charge across burning coal, then i can do anything, whatever shit it is! Come on, bring it on!!!

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

My fren corrected me...i shld say tt leechie is a "scaredy cat" and not "scarry cat" @.@"

Coco before Chanel -> Tono before Leechie ? ;p

This movie is in french, with english n chinese subtitles...abt the young Coco Chanel's life...it's not a particularly sad movie...but i guess leechie was in an emo mood...so i started crying from the start of the movie...till the end of the movie...perhaps tt's part of the reason y i tend to watch sad movies alone...dont really fancy frenz seeing a leechie with tears flowing down my cheeks n with my makeup smudged...but my leechie mum thinks tt it's quite loser behavior to watch movies alone...-.-"

Btw, saw this pretty taiwanese starlet on tv yest who can cry in 3 mins...i guess leechie can do better...think leechie need less than 3 mins to turn on her taps of tears...free-flow some more...no less -.-"

Leechie likes this movie...v.different from som crappy commercial ones...leechie was a literature student...although leechie wasn't a particularly good literature student, she can still appreciate arty movies n literature...so prefers movies which are more different from the usual commercial ones...

"This is the story of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, who begins her life as a headstrong orphan, and through an extraordinary journey becomes the legendary couturier who embodied the modern woman and became a timeless symbol of success, freedom and style."

Coco Chanel is leechie idol...with her strong character, breaking the conventions in her time...n created her own destiny in life and built her own hugely-successful fashion empire which still bears her name today! even after she had long passed on...Coco Chanel is an ICON whose legacy lives on n on! her rags to riches story serves as a great motivation to many!

Tell me...who doesnt know or hasn't heard abt the brand Chanel?it's almost every young gal's dream to own a Chanel handbag som day. Her iconic designs helped define women's fashion...the elegance of her classic designs is so alluring...the simplicity and class of Chanel style is timeless and hard to match...not only is Chanel known for her little black dress and her No. 5 fragrance, but also her classic and timeless tweed jacket and skirt suits, 2.55 quilted handbags, trademark two-tone pumps or ballet flats, pearl jewelry and of course her double C logo.

Lemme confess...leechie simply loves Chanel stuff...but they r so exp! leechie still has yet to own a Chanel handbag...but leechie has a Chanel makeup pouch given to me by the Chanel makeup counter ladies...leechie started buying Chanel cosmetics n skincare when she was a teenager...they have limited edition cosmetics almost every season...collectors' items...the strange thing is tt leechie used to like to wear their makeup when i was only a teenager...those dark brownish red lipsticks...they made a leechie look much more mature than she actually was...my first Chanel fragrance was Allure, which is still one of leechie fav fragrances even today...the price of Chanel cosmetics and skincare has appreciated significantly over the years...but cant really invest in those stuff with expiry dates ya...although leechie still has some Chanel cosmetics and skincare, leechie has moved onto mainly japanese cosmetics n skincare brands today...these r not exactly tt cheap...but more suitable for a leechie n more fun as well ^.^

Despite her numerous lovers, Coco Chanel did not marry anyone...she knows tt she will never be anyone's wife...however, even in our modern society...getting married is somhow one of the social expectations here...n walking down the aisle with one's true love one fine day is what many singles hope for...likewise, leechie has also thought abt who would be THE ONE who would explore tt possibility with leechie...who would take care of a leechie for the rest of her leechie life...

When leechie went into the cinema late juz nw, the gentleman sitting next to me asked if i'm alone n if i could exchange seats with his wife for them to sit together...of course, a leechie obliged gladly...hopefully, someone will do the same for a leechie one fine day...btw, leechie happened to see an odd couple (by the usual social convention) when i left the cinema...i'm pretty sure tt my leechie mum would have pointed them out to me n said somthg abt them had she been with me juz nw -.-"

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

Leechie wanna leave behind a legacy, something that people will still remember and thank me for, even when i'm no longer around anymore...even after i'm long gone!!!

Coco before Chanel...her legacy lives on n on...o.O

Secret Wish

Anna Sui Secret Wish Magic Romance -> one of leechie fav fragrances

Kim Hyun Joong in "Boys Over Flowers"






Check out the dashing Mike He in "Why Why Love"

It's fri nite again...n leechie parked herself in front of the tv to catch the 11.30 pm show "Why Why Love" on channel u again...n she cried buckets again...n again, she's rather relieved to know tt leechie mum was already asleep n didnt see leechie crying buckets over a supposedly silly idol drama...

V.touched by the sweet actions of the younger bro...how he tried to console rainie...n how he tried to stand up for rainie when she was bullied...n he tried to clarify the misunderstanding between rainie n his bro when he found out tt she liked his bro...ok, fine...his dashing good looks is also a big plus -> +

Sometimes, i wonder y do those male leads always like to pull the female leads' heads into their chests n hug them?this seems to be a v.typical scene in idol dramas ya...seen it several times in this show...n Kim Hyun Joong's Yin ZhiHou do tt pretty often in "Boys Over Flowers" o.O" oh well, leechie shall not be a hypocreep here n i shall not deny tt leechie also hope tt there will be someone who will do the same for a leechie one fine day as well...someone who will be there for me when i need him...be there to console me when i'm sad or tired...be there to protect me...perhaps all these scenes r what silly leechie has somehow secretly wished for...

I know tt i'm a silly leechie...pls get more sleep...n get those silly ideas outta ur leechie head...wake up...n return back to reality...
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I sincerely apologize for the way i sound...but i'm only human...leechie is feeling abit emo today...feeling abit lousy and disappointed...feeling abit lost...haiz...it's during times like this tt i dont wanna my leechie mum to see me cry...y other ppl's kids r happy n contented with almost everything in their lives? but y is a leechie feeling miserable n wallowing in self-pity here?

When i complained abt feeling lousy...silly aaron was telling me abt how young n successful his SMU prof is...n asked y leechie is like tt...n said leechie muz more "zhen qi" (buck up)...trying to rub salt into leechie wounds eh...ouch...some good fren eh -.-" every man for himself -> tt's life

Cinderella Wannabe

Drew Barrymore in "Ever After"

There is this particular taiwanese idol drama serial called "Why Why Love" which airs at 11.30 pm every fri nite on channel U. leechie caught a few episodes of this show n is hooked onto this show...will obediently wait in front of the tv every fri nite juz to catch this show...interesting love triangle between the poor female lead (Rainie Yang) and the 2 "rich-kid" brothers...

Leechie can identify with the female lead...need to slog hard to make more money...cos apparently...money's never enough in our practical society...haiz -.-" leechie is always a tired kid who always lacks zzz...haiz -.-" sleep abt only 3hours daily on weekdays...think som ppl might have died wearing leechie shoes -.-" hav frenz ask me y i need to take on so much stuff n work so hard...well, leechie is single now...what's gonna happen to a leechie when i grow older?who's going to take care of a leechie for the rest of my life?haiz -.-" leechie better work harder now to prepare for the future...haiz -.-" leechie doesnt even have time for alot things in life...how to find time to date?haiz...-.-"

In tonite's episode, what the younger bro (supposedly the more rebellious guy) did brought tears to my leechie eyes....he's so sweet...dragged his leg (which was still in a cast) down the flight of stairs n went around searching for rainie....although he tries to act nonchalant, moi was really touched by his concern for her...the small little things tt he does...so sweet...silly leechie ended up crying buckets -.-" good thing tt my leechie mum was already asleep...otherwise she'll definitely suan a leechie for crying over a silly drama serial -.-" btw, silly aaron expressed his surprise when he learnt tt leechie cried watching the show -.-"

They always seem to have such perfect guys in those taiwanese n korean idol drama serials ---> handsome good looks, damn wealthy n successful, humorous, yet so sweet n devoted...do such guys only exist in reel life but not in real life? o.O" or r these guys already extinct?or all taken?haiz -.-"

Silly leechie always envy those female leads in these idol drama serials...fine...i'll admit it...leechie is a cinderella wannabe...how i wish for someone like those male leads to appear and rescue me n take care of a leechie for the rest of my leechie life...hmmm, maybe leechie needs to get a glass slipper first ya? o.O"

Leechie still rems the cinderella storybook tt i had as a kid...tt i bot in a small bookshop near my granny place...the pretty pink n lilac dress tt the cinderella wore on the cover of tt storybook...leechie actually finished reading tt storybook at the bookshop before asking my leechie mum to buy it for me...still rems watching the cinderella movie "Ever After" starring drew barrymore...v.nice movie with all the beautiful costumes...even as a child, leechie preferred cinderella rather than snow white, whom in my leechie opinion, is dumbo enough to eat poisonous apples n whatever crap tt ppl gave her...-.-" cinderella is different...she was bullied by those evil n ugly step-sisters and step-mother...until the fairy godmother sent her to the ball where she met the prince...n they lived happily ever after...i hate to admit this...but there r times when i feel really tired...n silly leechie would somehow hope tt such a prince can appear one fine day...n rescue me n take care of a leechie for the rest of my leechie life...n all the happily ever after thingy...well, it's v.much my silly wishful thinking...perhaps, i'll do better with more sleep...rather than spend time on such wishful thinking...fairy godmothers dont exist in reality...neither r there any such princes around here in our practical society...wake up...n welcome back to reality...

Pretty Pink Mobile Phone! ;p

Hehe, leechie finally bot a new pink mobile phone ---> Sony Ericsson W595 =) long q at the hello shop today...the waiting time was pretty long even though we were at the express q...well, my leechie dad is one of those ppl who have no patience ya...so...

Btw, the phone comes with 1yr foc mobile on broadband thingy for u to download 50songs every month...but the prob is...leechie line contract is not due yet...so gotta use leechie dad line to recontract to buy this phone...so the free mobile on broadband thingy is applicable only for his no...so this means that leechie needs to borrow his SIM card whenever leechie needs to download songs...haiz...troublesome -.-" paid only $38 for this phone with 2yrs plan...cos additional $30 off for national day promo =)

Leechie was actually trying to decide with this phone n a pink LG phone...but that LG phone touchscreen is not v.sensitive to touch...then my leechie mum's bright idea is for leechie to trim off my fingernails so that the touchscreen can detect my fingertips -.-" well,leechie no fancy this option ya -.-"

Leechie chose the W595 mainly for its fantastic sound quality cos it's a walkman phone...juz like my W910i...ya...then i can continue to annoy anybody in my vicinity with my annoyingly loud ringtones...hehe ;p it also has a 3.2 Megapixel cam...an upgrade from my current 2.0 megapixel cam that comes with W910i...although leechie hardly takes pics...

Well, leechie is quite glad to get a new mobile phone...cos my current W910i is dying a slow death n gives me all sorts of probs...despite me sending it for repair twice n having the motherboard changed -.-" it auto hangs n auto shutdown too frequently for my liking...n depending on its highly volatile mood, sometimes it would juz declare that it cannot detect my SIM card -.-"

Btw, the new LG GD 9000 was launched yesterday and leechie was trying out the handset juz now...it comes with a damn cool crystal sliding keypad...but then again,the touchscreen aint sensitive to a leechie touch...rather frustrating trying to operate this phone...cos it seems that the pretty bling bling keypad doesn't seem to be much responsive either -.-" but i muz say,it looks pretty...although much bigger in size compared to the other phones that i have used...btw, i have seen adverts of this phone being posted on this blog at times...can check it out if keen...

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

Silly aaron is back from his cambodia volunteer trip ler...n he has sold off his counter without even updating a leechie...some gd fren eh? -.-" that counter was supposed to be some leechie lousy idea...anyway, silly aaron gotta buy leechie a pretty hello kitty thumbdrive ler! ;p
