Hi Friends,

I have everything to be happy about, I am healthy, I live in a peaceful country, I have a wonderful amazing family, a loving relationship, two adorable dogs that I love so very much, a stable job.

Yet, I have always felt that something is missing.

For the past few months, I felt uninspired, restless. Perhaps that is why I love to travel, it allows me to run off somewhere, an escape.

In The Happiness Project, when Gretchen Rubin wrote “the days are long but the years are short”, she spoke right to my heart.

Inside, I was screaming, for I saw the years past me by, and yet, I felt that I have not achieved enough. I felt that there was more outside. I was starting to get restless.

I have hit MID-LIFE CRISIS at the age of 29, and I felt like packing my bags and running off to Africa!

Instead, one evening in April this year, I found myself together with my boyfriend, sitting at the front row of Cayden’s Preview to NLP. That night, my boyfriend and I decided to sign up.

Fast forward to current day, third week of August, I have since completed the 6th day of the class.

I realized that there was really no need to run someplace to find happiness, it has to come from WITHIN.

Wherever you Go, there you are.

These days, whenever I find myself in a challenging situation be it at work or in my personal life, I remember that

“The map is not the territory”, and instantly, from within, I feel happier, lighter. I feel more forgiving, and I find myself curious about everybody else’s map of the world!

I have come to realize that Happiness is a funny thing: too much of a good thing makes it boring, and too little makes it depressing. Hence, we always need the good, the bad and an environment of growth to keep us inspired and hopeful. Most importantly, happiness is a journey, not a destination. Some days, I get it great, and some days, it may be a stormy day. Anyhow, it doesn’t matter, so long as I keep on walking.

I started my own Happiness Project a month ago feeling lost, insecure and unsure. But today, I feel inspired and excited for what I shall discover.

Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves -Henry David Thoreau-

My adventure has begun, and I haven’t even left home. Here’s to exciting times ahead!

From,

Ping  (NLP Batch Swish 26)

Dear Friends,

We just had a Super Awesome Session with NLP Batch Swish 26 last Friday to Sunday where they had ALL their Limiting Beliefs,. which have been bugging them for years, removed in less than half an hour. It was really a Wonderful 3 days where there were moments of Joy, moments of Self-Reflection and moments of Breakthrough.

View some of the Amazing Photos of NLP Swish 26:

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

Another Amazing thing that took place was the Facebook posting of a Breakthrough of one of our NLP Graduate, Hazel, who was just half-way through her NLP Training. Her posting almost put tears onto my eyes. Read below:

Talking about a TRANSFORMATION in LIFE! 

We will be having our Day 7 NLP Training again next month where we will review the progress of their Goals and themselves in Life.

Looking forward to seeing them again!

Hi Friends

One of my Social & Cultural Goal is to run 1 event for a Charity Organization per year. A few months ago, I have brought all the patients from Hospice Care Association (HCA) to Gardens by the Bay for a Wonderful Lunch and to visit the 2 Domes. I paid for all the expenses. In addition, 24 kind souls turned up to volunteer to push the wheel-chair bound patients in the garden (see photos below). The fulfilment is beyond what money can buy when you see the appreciative faces on the patients. In case you are unaware, HCA patients are those who have a life span of 12 months or less.

Even though my goal has been achieved for this year, but one of our NLP Graduate mentioned to me about the case of a little girl called Chloe. Her case is as follows:

Chloe, born as a normal baby on the 8th Nov 2009. At 7 months old, she was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition called Pompe Disease. It is estimated only 5,000 to 10,000 of the world population are suffering from this disease. She is now facing a huge battle of survival at her tender age. She requires regular (every fortnightly) ERT (Enzyme Replacement Treatment) at KK Hospital to stay alive and improve her mobility.The medical fees are hefty-up to $300,000/yr for the enzyme alone,excluding hospital fees which can come up to $100,000 or more.

Parents of such children are faced with a daily decision of whether should they continue to sustain the life of their children, so should they just let their children go. Imagine if you are a parent yourself and you are to make such a decision. How would that make you feel? That’s how the parents of such children feel every single day. See video below on a Tear-Dropping & Heart-Wrenching video on the lives of these children and how strong their parents are.

Eventually, a Team of us spent hours crafting our speaking portion to help Rare Disorders Society (Singapore). The Team’s time was priceless and only a heart and friendship is worth their time. SPECIAL THANKS to those who have appeared because I have bugged you to support us, and only a Cause to support those who are less unfortunate is worthy of your Time and Donation. At the end, we raised S$8,747.00 in one evening. It was an Amazing feeling. See the Team who have made all these possible!

Our Team – Sudhan (Left), Ivan (Middle), Ser Jing (Right) 

The above are the Kind Souls that have came, made their donations and Supported us.

Most of them are our NLP or VIP Graduates. 

For future donations to Rare Disorders Society (Singapore), pls write cheque to:

1. Rare Disorders Society (Singapore)
2. Address is 43 Hindhede Walk #07-08 S587973
3. They can issue a receipt in a form of invoice for your donation

My KEY Takeaway is this: “Always surround yourself with positive and wonderful people. You will be surprised how much your life will change with people like them.”

Hi Friends

I remembered years ago when I came across a video called “The Last lecture”. It was really inspiring and it shared how a man by the name of Dr Randy Paush faced death when he knew he was dying soon.

Watch this video below:

In 2010, after I survived Kidney Cancer and written my will, I have always wanted to leave my story behind for my children. After delaying for almost 2 years and with the help of a good friend, Aurelia, I finally summarised and convert my story into 2 digital stories. Hope you like it.

Story 1 – “It Happened to Me”

Story 2 – “While I am Alive”

Hi Friends

On 8 Jan 2013, it was a beautiful where I had a meeting in the morning at 10:30am. Unfortunately, I felt uncomfortable suddenly and I admit myself to National Cancer Centre as there were signs of a possible relapse of my kidney cancer. It has been 2 years since I had my mango-size tumour removed, but during that moment, my mind ran wild. For the next remaining day, I was running between National Cancer Centre and Urology Centre (in SGH) trying to get a chance to see a doctor, and eventually I did. I was scheduled to go through a series of blood tests, urine tests, Ultrasound Scan & CT Scans. A couple of doses of medicine from my regular doctor makes me feel better. It wasn’t a good feeling but it was a great reminder about life.

For the next few weeks, life went on as usual and when I posted some updates of my episodes on Facebook, I started to receive lots of care and concerns from my friends. See some of my Facebook status comments on my posts:

Coincidentally. most of them are my current or past NLP Participants. I was really really touched. In addition, I get surprise smses, calls and even visits at my office. It’s during such difficult times where I know how I have treated people in the past just based on their care and concerns.

As I had my tests done throughout the weeks that follow,  I continued to do what I love – had a large batch of Value Investing Programme (VIP) done, conducted numerous speaking engagements and last day of NLP Swish 23:

With all these engagements going on, the most touching moments took place on 26th Jan 2013 where I was running last day of my NLP Training for Batch Swish 23. The training ended around 5:30pm where suddenly, one of the participant, Harry, said that he is something to share. He plugged his thumbdrive into my laptop and he started playing a short video clip from the movie Rocky:

I was so focused on the video that I did not realized that some of them already positioned themselves to do something that was simply crazy: 

Guess what they were preparing to do when they turn over? An NLP Skit!!!! YES!! An NLP Skit. It was HILARIOUS!! At the same time, it was so touching of them to take time off their family and work to run rehearsals for this skit:

When the skit was over, I was on my feet, laughing. It was too hard to bear.

Then suddenly, another NLP friend of ours called Cassandra came up said something that eventually put me to tears and at that moment, Ken came up simultaneously and presented a card that was specially designed to motivate me:

That’s how the card looks like:

Our Parting Shot to the Wonderful People who have contributed to the Skit, not forgetting the rest of the class who were there to brighten up the entire room:

Last point that I wish to share that, of all the 1001 reasons why I could hang on to my passion for so loooong is simply this – I am always surrounded by friends who really appreciate what I do ….. with all my heart!

Hi Friends

Just moments ago, I have just sent out an email that I have wanted to send for the past 20 years (CLICK PICTURE to read):

This is the photo that I have attached in my email. This photo was taken during my convocation when I graduated with my 1st degree in National University of Singapore. My mum has always wanted to see one of her 4 sons to be a graduate. I fulfilled her dream. Unfortunately, she was no longer around with me to witness the convocation of my 2nd degree.

My question for you is this – “If there are certain important things that are important in your life right now that you have always wanted to do, have you done those?”
