Joy of having twins.

This morning, I went to Thomson Medical Hospital to meet a couple friend who just gave birth to a baby boy. My car was with the valet service. I need to take a shuttle bus to collect my car. On the bus, was a couple sitting opposite me. The wife is pregnant. We started to have a chat during the bus ride. She's going to deliver in a couple of weeks' time, and she's expecting twin girls! I was very happy for them. Having twin girls are very special, I told them. Oh... While talking with them, I fell in love with my girls further although they were not by my side. I am enjoying my life journey with Bernice and Charlene - my twin girls. They are indeed very special and warm my hearts every morning with their smiles and singing. I told them that the girls will grow up with a special bond between them. They will have each other for company, they will sing together, they will look after each other when in school, they will negotiate and compromise with each other, they will play imaginary mommy and baby together, they will protect each other, etc. Sometimes they will dance and sing together. Cute right? Maybe next time I will upload their singing and dancing videos :)
Ok, I gotta go.

How to share your blog posts on Facebook and Twitter.

Mommy here is catching up with technology, and the social media. I have left my blog quiet for a few months, partly because I have been busy, and partly because I am spending more time on Facebook via iPhone. Now, with some time, I am sorting out how to continue to blog here plus using Facebook, with the minimal time required. And sharing my blog posts here to my Facebook and Twitter, preferably with only one click. Voila! I got it! Let me share with you.


Here is how to do it. First, you go to AddThis.com to make a button and install it on your blog. It is very easy. No registration is required. Just go and generate a button and install it on each blog post, NOT on your sidebar. Installing it on your individual blog post makes sharing much easier. AddThis recommends adding the buttons after the title and after the posts. After you have installed it, it will look something like what you find on this post, right below the title and date, and at the end of the posts. If you still blur about installing the buttons, go to the Help@AddThis.

Now, whenever I blog, all I have to do is click on the Twitter button. It will open up the Twitter page with my blog post title and a shortened mini url for Twitter purposes. I can add any text I like then I click submit and voila! My Twitter is updated with my latest blog post. And you can do the same for Facebook.

I highly recommend doing this to all bloggers who are blogging and especially those who have a few blogs. Your goal is to get higher page impressions and more visitors for your advertisers. This is one way to do it. It helps your friends and followers keep up with your latest updates on ALL of your blogs on one page whichever social networking site they may prefer whether it is Twitter or Facebook. I am limiting to two social networking sites because those are the sites I am on at the moment.

Your readers can easily click on any of your blog post if they have the time and inclination and it makes it so much easier for them to follow than having each and every one of your blogs on their blog reader and trying to know when you update which blog. Nowadays many people have several blogs and it is hard to keep up with each and every one of them for each and every blogger on your blogroll. This makes it easier for everyone. They can then choose what they want or don’t want to read.

So what are you waiting for? Go do it now! Then tell the world.. go tell your readers, I mean. Announce it on your Twitter, Facebook and Blog. Make it easier for everyone to follow you whatever method they may choose to do so.

You can also checkout my Facebook page and my Twitter page to see how my blog updates look like on Facebook and Twitter. And hey, if you like this blog post, why not click on my Facebook Like button above (below the title and date and sharing buttons) and see what happens?

For the know how on how to install the Facebook Like button like mine, you can easily get the code and follow the instructions at Blogger Plugins.

I installed these buttons for my own use but if lets say you have those buttons and someone likes your post, they can easily share it on their Facebook and Twitter pages in the same manner. Do test it out. Its really cool!

Positive energy come come...

Lately, I have been emotionally affected after reading a blog about a brave little girl of 6 year old, fighting against cancer, and she's now fighting against the side effects of chemotherapy. The mother is a single mother with two kids. At first, I just read it becos I was curious. Then I felt that I want to help the family and felt a little bit of the pain that the mother is going through. Being a mother myself, it pains me to read how a young child gotta suffer the pain of surgeries, one after another, and multiple rounds of chemotherapy. It was indeed emotionally draining for the mother. The mother seems to have given up hope in finding a miracle cure for her gal and fight the disease with her gal. There's lots of negativities whereby people tell her to just to let her gal go. I think those remarks made by concern public, really make her believe get smaller. I was very attracted to read the blog and followed the blog for the last few days. I think I gotta stop reading the blog for a while. It is making my imagination runs wild though.

I gotta reflect on myself. Hence, I started to ask myself this morning, why am I attracting negative energies lately? Maybe because my little D has an enlarged lymph node, and fell sick last week, and I am tired and worried. Positive energies come come... Bad energies go away. This morning, when I showered D, his enlarged lymph node got a lot smaller :)

I am in the process of training how to control my mind and my thoughts better. It takes a lot of discipline though. Let me share with you one tip from the CD.

"My power to think thoughts is my power to create my life, and I have the power to think whatever thoughts I desire."
That's great, isn't it?

Last night, after attending a seminar by Mr. Arthur and Mei, I had the opportunity to have a late dinner with them. We had conversations in a group. One thing that caught my attention was "see the end in mind" even when we are nurturing our children. Well, Mr. Arthur said many times in his seminars before that to achieve our goals, we gotta "see the end in mind". But it did not occur to me that I gotta do that when nurturing and guiding my children. Their eldest son is 17 this year, and cannot wait to be in SAB business. He wants to study law, and he will be paying for his own overseas education. Mr. Arthur and Mei saw the end in their mind for their children already. Mr. Arthur shared with us that their children will be leaders developing leaders in SAB, reaching out to the ordinary people. Wow!

I recalled that a few years ago, when I made a decision that I will embark on the journey with the Shichida program, I saw an end in mind, which is when my children go to Primary 1, they need not go for anymore enrichment nor tuition classes. It will be a choice for them to go for enrichment classes, not a need. Starting from Primary 1, I will not have to keep asking them to do their homework, nor they need to spend a lot of time in memorizing their spelling and dictation. And when writing composition, creative ideas will just flow to them easily. Hence, I started teaching them from birth. When they reach Primary 1, it will be other areas of development, such as, leadership, competition, managing money. Mommy here quite stressed, cos I gotta be a good leader myself, then my children can be good leaders. Aloysius is going into Primary 1 in slightly more than one year's time though.

After the seminar and the conversations, I realised that I gotta "see the end in mind" further for my children. You know what, I followed Prof. Shichida when Aloysius was about 2 months old, that it's very important for parents to have a dream for our children. I have created a dream that Aloysius, Bernice, Charlene and Darius will be their self-made millionaire by the age of 18. I did the "dreams input" daily for 1 year. I am quite relax with Darius though. I better buck up again in the "dreams input" for Darius.

In order for me to create or see a bigger dream for my children, I gotta have a bigger dream myself. I am grateful that I get to rub shoulders with Mr. Arthur and Mei, and they really expand my mind. If you want to rub shoulders with Mr. Arthur and Mei, you still have a great chance. What you need to do is to make a decision to join me in SAB business and follow the system to achieve some small success, and you will get noticed, and with me being able to link you up, it's a much faster route.

Mr. Arthur and Mei used to lead a team of 100,000 people in their prime. Thousands of people used to queue up in the cold winter just to get their signature. They were already semi-retired before they decided to come ot of retirement to build SAB. He's building a team in SAB. Not a normal team of business people, but a team of business leaders. Not 1, not 2 leaders, but a team of leaders. He's created a system in SAB, and through his system, he had created a turnover of more than $50 million in the last 3 years. People who have been in businesses before know that for this kind of turnover for a new company, it's not easy, is it?

Ok, gotta go... Flashcards time for Darius.
