Interesting law indeed...

An interesting entry on one blog read recently....


Abundance does not happen when you ‘deserve’ it or when you think you are worthy of it. Abundance isn’t a reward to being good or doing a good job. Abundance is a state of mind and when you think you are abundant in many ways, you will become more abundant. When you give your time or your money selflessly and with the joy of giving, you will become more abundant as you give more. Abundance starts from within. When you have aligned with abundant thoughts and feelings your future will indeed be full of abundance.
from here :Beth and Lee's Blog: Law of Attraction (LOA) and Positive Thought.



I quote a true story by one LOA believer/reader/contributor to the blog above:

I don’t know how, except that I know that I totally attracted it.
I’ve been living The Law of Attraction for the last several months; I’ve been devouring everything that I can in this subject. I can never seem to have enough of it. I would like to share one very special story, if I may.
I am a 45 year old Brazilian woman, living in US for the last 21 years. I work 30 miles away from home, and the commute and gas price really get to me. Three months ago I seemed to have had enough driving my adorable blue beetle to work and spending between $95 and $120 dollars in gas every week. My car was getting old, already with more than 110.000 miles… I was studying The Law of Attraction and seeing tinny amazing results but not really trying. Very early one morning driving to work while dark still, I started thinking that I should probably work towards changing my car for a newer and more economical one. Suddenly I noticed that there were several Hybrid cars around me. More specifically, there were several Toyota Prius around me. I do live in an area where people are very aware of the environment and into ‘thinking and living green’, so it’s not unusual to see all kinds of hybrid cars around. I started paying attention to this car. They seemed to be all around me for a couple of weeks. One day listening to The Law of Attraction while driving, I saw a Prius and I said out loud “THERE GOES MY PRIUS!”… but it didn’t feel quite right because the word ‘GOES’ implied that the car was going away from me. Next car I saw I said “THERE IS MY PRIUS!” and a wonderful feeling invaded me like this amazing energy that I could not explain. Now, I had no idea of how much a car like that cost and my credit was far from perfect, so there wasn’t much on my side, and yet every time I saw a Prius I’d say out loud
“THERE IS MY PRIUS” or “I WANT A PRIUS AND IT’S COMING TO ME!”
Five weeks ago I decided to fill a car loan application online. Two days later I received a call from a car sales man from Toyota. We talked for a while and I was a little shy to say that I wanted the Prius, and couldn’t probably afford one because of credit. A few days later I spoke to the sales man again and now with more conviction I told him that I wanted the Prius, and that in fact that would be the only car I was going to drive away from their lot. I did a couple of minor things and then made an appointment to go to the Toyota dealership on a Friday morning, 3 weeks ago. Right after that call I started saying “THANK YOU FOR MY PRIUS” every time I saw a Prius on the road. And on the day I was going to Toyota I would repeat over and over again: “I AM COMING FOR MY OWN PRIUS!”. When I got to Toyota not just the sales man but each and every person I came across that worked there were cordial and respectful to me, in a different way, I cannot explain. The word “bad credit’ was never mentioned. No one tried to sell me or even show me a different car. In less than 15 minutes from me getting to the dealership, Mike, the sales man, got up and said: “Are you ready for the fun part? Let’s go look at cars”. I was amazed; I knew it was The Law of Attraction working at full power. I could feel the vibration going through my body, the same vibration I felt for weeks when driving my beetle and had all of the Prius around me and it was like all of the other cars on the road were gone, and I was in this magnetic field, attracting, creating something I wasn’t sure, but didn’t dare doubt. Well, 3 weeks ago, on a Friday afternoon, I drove away from the dealership in my 2008 Blue $28.000 Prius.

When I was on the road driving my brand new car just minutes later it downed on me: I filled an application online and yet I only got ONE call… Only Toyota called. And I understood that it was The law of Attraction all over it. I was so sure of the car I wanted, I was specific, there was no reason to talk to other sellers. Only one, the right one, the intended one was enough. I was amazed and still am. Every time I pass a Prius on the road I say “THANK YOU!”. I tell my story to anyone that listens and is trying to attract things to them. It almost sounds like a Toyota commercial, but it has nothing to do with the type of car, but to do with my power of creating exactly what I wanted.

GRATITUDE IS DIVINE.


My horoscope reading today...

on Yahoo horoscope, my reading for today is:

"Sometimes the trick to having a good day is sleeping in. Today, do your best just to relax. Get up slowly. Stay in your pajamas. Make a big breakfast, but don't stress out about it. Yes, this is the life! And it's your life, just the way you want it. Now that's taking control."

Oh YESS PLEASE!!! .... everyday in fact! :))

Raya sakan!

helos again.... we had a lot of fun going beraya this year.... raya sakan kata oreng.. still have 3-4 more houses to go to but since raya is sebulan, we decided to spread out the visits a bit to the coming weekends... (alamak, i only have this weekend and the last weekend of syawal to raya... there's my uni's convocation on 10 & 11 oct and im in the senate procession ..aiseh... have to cover as many houses la nampaknya.. :P)

2nd day raya - was at Tok Mummy's... we intended to go to Muar that day and do a convoy thingy with gramma but she called me up to say that the Seremban highway was at a bumper to bumper crawl... she'd pushed off from Sg Besi at noon and still hadnt reached Nilai an hour later... PHEW!... dont think that would do Dina good if the journey was too stretched yea...

in the end, we lepak at PJ house... with hubby's siblings and Aunty Nana's family came to raya too... and Tok Mummy made yummy soto ayam!...

:: me , holding Aaqil, Aunty Nana's nephew... he is 8 mths old but as big as Nia! :)... sedaaapp peluk dia nie ... macam bantal betull...ge- de-babbbb heheh..::


3rd day raya - went to Alor Gajah to visit PP's Mak Long... had a good drive as the roads were clear cos we used jalan belakang or A-road as we call in the UK... Dina got to use her new child car seat...at first , she resisted and only wanted to sit with me in front. but after a lot of coaxing and looking straight into her eyes (plus reasoning)... she finally relented. Thank GOD!

:: Dina, sleeping in her Maxi Cosy car seat (front facing)... nyenyak nyer dia... too good to be true? ::

Right after the above pic was taken, my maid, seated next to her, went and removed the book from Dina's hands. Apa lagi, terkejut lah Dina and melalak sekuat nyer... sigh... what happened next was, a whole journey with me cuddling a sleeping Dina while seated in front, and PP going at 100-120km/hr! oh yess, Nor got a scolding alright! >:| Grrrr!

the food at Mak long was great too. lots, like laksa, soto, mee goreng, rendang ayam, nasi impit and etc... i had enough of nasi impit so i just ate the rendang... Dina had lots of fun too... someone gave her a lollipop which she licked and licked with delight! susah biler orang tend to give her sweets.. DESSERTS ONLY ON WEEKENDS OK, DINA! mama cakap nie ...



oh well... later we visited PP's former teacher during his MRSM Terendak days... he calls her Cikgu Hajjah or 'Ibu'... the house was somewhere on the outskirts of Muar onto the Merlimau-Muar route... clearly PP was happy seeing his former ibu angkat...

:: one for the album... PP, Cikgu Hajah and me... ::



Dina was even happier cos there was this boy who really loved her and played with her constantly... well it's to Dina's delight lah cos ada org layan dia... as clearly seen below :)... rumah cikgu nie byk rooms , so they played catch or 'running running' in n out together sampai tak ingat la kat mama dia... lupa terus.

:: Dina with abg Aalif ::

Had delicious homemade sardine currypuff and kuih rokok (or known as kuih ketayap / love letters) , specially made by Cikgu Hjh and then i dgn muka tak malu nyer (no shame shame one) asked if there were more of the kuih rokok .."wow, sedap-nyerrr... susah nak dapat nie... ada lagi ker Cikgu.. bolee bawak balik" hehehe.... terus dapat 2 balang... hehe!.... it actually became Dina's favorite - she calls anything crunchy as 'kepok' , be it potato chips, keropok ikan, keropok udang TAM TAM, keropok serunding gulung etc ...

then twas already 9pm when we hit the seremban highway back to KL and lo and behold!...joined the Seremban/ KL jam ...oowh! so PP decided to stop by Petronas as R&R was too too packed with cars and ppl... we had good Maggi Mee Xtra Delicious dinner there while Dina's meal was heated with the assistance of the microwave in the store..

:: Dina: " Mama , you want ice-cream?" ::







:: Dina helping herself here... ::




4th day raya - was at Muar, my mom's kampong. we pushed off by 11am and had lunch at Dengkil R&R... took us a good 2 1/2 hours and Dina slept all the way yeaaay! I love the feeling of balik kampong especially at night when you could see all the pelitas light up every kampong houses' courtyards.. SIGH!... besttt...

Muar town has changed a lot since the last time i came... there's GIANT hypermart just before the Muar bridge near Tanjung Agas for some good shopping there... the old shops where i usually bought fireworks and stuff for raya were no longer there as we neared Parit Jawa... how things have changed..


:: Dina & PP at Kg Parit Gantong, Muar.... and playing congkak with Kak Kadijah ::




Well... Hope raya was an enjoyable one for you too! More stories n pics in my next entry!.... Ta!

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri 1430H






how was your raya this year, everyone???

hope twas great for you... cos mine was fantastic! :))

why? frankly speaking, we were and still am feeling and experiencing abundance... unlike last year ... things this raya were really plentiful and everything worked out just right... alhamdulillah...

anyways, enuf said, raya this year, we decided to go turquoisy blue.. and rupa2nyer semua on hubby's side pon pakai ala colour sama... hehe...

this raya, dina could already utter the words 'Selamat Hari Raya' to almost everyone . well , being 2, she's very much grown up already...



:: A happy raya for a happy family ::



















:: cucu2 Tok Daddy beraya sakan (& struggling to get free) and Dina with her first money packet of d'day :) ::





:: Selamat Hari RA-YAAAAAAA!!! ::



:: sopan jer pose... unlike previous pic..hehe .... mana Aunty Nana niee.... lambat laaaa :P ::















:: bermaaf- maafan sesama kita....::

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





AND THEN , all of us headed to my mom's place for some makan2 raya! .... my hubby's adik2 followed too! :)

What fun!



:: Abah with 1 yr ol' Nia..::



:: my fav concoction - choc peanut butter cake...yumm!::





:: Raya wont be complete without a family pic... Abah not wearing baju melayu anymore cos was already close to 6pm... Aunty Fida raya Ipoh this year so not i n pic ;)...::






i must say i really enjoyed this raya ... the best raya since i got married... hehe :))

.... Living in abundance is goodddd.....


HAVE A HAPPY RAYA, PEEPS!!
