Value

 Do you believe in Feng Shui? I do believe in it and I gave myself a chance to learn by attending a 3day free Feng Shui course online to have a better understanding. Despite the course being free, it does provide a lot of insight and value. The master was very charismatic and the main selling point for his methods is the ability to be in synchrony with the current way of living. He debunked many old-fashioned methods that had no proper basis and highlighted that Feng Shui is not about superstition. I used to feel a slight disappointment towards those who are too deeply involved in such believes because I did not understand the basis of it and it had no logic to it. However, what the mind does not know, the eyes will not see and the heart will never accept. I had a lot of doubts when I was dating my other half because his background involves believing in these things that I often thought were non-scientific and silly. I also often tell him if the Feng shui master is able to use Feng Shui to change the lives of people for the better, why do they themselves need to keep working and earning money via giving Feng shui advices?

 

The last 3days, master Louis Loh have successfully changed my general outlook. First of all, he has encounter people like me during his consultations with his clients. He shared that people with my mindset have a misconception that no effort or work is needed in order to have a better life and this sort of mindset is not a growth mindset. With Feng Shui knowledge we still need to take action and execute the needful to improve our lives. Of all the things he said, I love the concept of value the most. He mentioned that long lasting relationships are built on the foundations of value. Ask yourself what value can you bring to others? People of value will also attract a lot of noblemen (贵人)into their lives because value is always bidirectional and it is also a form of energy. I never thought that all those noblemen who crossed path with me was because I was also providing value and this knowledge is a driving force for me to ensure I engage myself in continuous self-improvement.

 

The effects of being a person of value is remarkable as I witness obvious changes that happened to me instantly when I tried being kinder and enhanced my situational awareness at work. Instead of just doing my work and putting a blind eye towards a colleague from a different department that seems to be struggling with intravenous line setting on an awake patient (I personally never like to do procedures on an awake person as I am so used to the pool of patients who are well sedated in the intensive care or operating room), I offered my help and it does feel good internally when my help did a positive impact. The first impact was on the patient, she did not have to endure being poked multiple times. The second impact was on me, I felt good to be able to help and it boosted my confidence in using the ultrasound for difficult intravenous line and lastly, I think the colleague was appreciative because her job is done and she do not have to continuously apologize to the patient whenever she could not cannulate the vein. It was just a simple act and did not take more than 5minutes of my time.

 

Having done that, I think the universe wanted to challenge me further. At 4am when I was able to get some shut eye moment, I was woken up by a phone call to attend to a patient which was not in my care or responsibility. The colleague that was supposed to attend the patient seems to divert the call to me and I did not question why and immediately went to the patient's bedside. It was an infant about 7kg in weight and there were difficulties getting a blood gas as he did not have an arterial line (It is a catheter in the artery to facilitate blood taking and continuous blood pressure monitoring). I was contemplating should I try to insert an arterial line in such a small infant? (My hesitation was due to fear of complications besides I am not the one who was supposed to attend to the patient but I understand that job roles are not clearly outlined at times especially when it is after the office hours). I flip the notes and found that it was the same patient whom I inserted the arterial line a month ago and decided to give it a go. Thankfully in that sleep deprived state with the guidance of ultrasound, I was able to put in the cannula on the second attempt and again received words of appreciation from the nurses.

 

4 hours later received a text asking "did you insert the arterial line?" and my stomach starts to twist, I was thinking did I caused a complication such as a hematoma since it was not a procedure where I had succeeded on the first attempt. Moreover, I think it is an issue related with confidence as I do not handle infants on a regular basis and tend to be hypervigilant when I do handle them so leading to the assumption of something had went wrong. In the end my colleague just wanted to thank me and I reminded myself to have a more positive outlook next time or in the long run this career is bound to affect my health. Having done a few things that have added value during my shift, I was rewarded by a phone call from the Growth Valley stating that my question has been selected and they will provide a free consultation to help me out. I was thrilled and felt waves after waves of gratitude.

 

Tonight, is going to be quite special because I am going to attend the Unsinkable Super Conference. I decided to check it out since it has a lot of the familiar authors of self-help books which have accompanied me all my life. I do not know how or why but I seem to chance upon the free eBook "Bounce Back Big" by Sonia Ricotti and that led to me watching the "Unsinkable" movie and now I am all ready for the super conference. I do subscribe to emails from the Law of Attraction but hardly have time to read the things they sent me but this time I did and found a treasure. Everything is falling into place beautifully even at the face of hardships and adversities. I feel loved and I will continue to exude love in my daily living and bring value to myself and others.

Singapore

Continuation from yesterday’s post.  I finally ate the ice cream which is sandwiched between two wafers that I saw before and it was yummy because there’s like a huge block of ice cream and the wafer was thin. I chose peppermint chocolate and raspberry swirl. It was really fun to eat that on the helical bridge that totally looks like a DNA strand. I really love this region and it was also the same place where the fun run was held. So I got to go across the helical bridge twice. I am also very happy to finally seen the Merlion and since it was early in the morning during the fun run, the place was rather quiet and there were not many crowds. I wanted to properly run the fun run but I end up walking most of the time just enjoying the scene and talking to people since it was supposed to be a networking event. Delegates from 142 countries were there but I only manage to make friends from Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Indonesia, Germany and New Zealand. It was quite hard to make more

往前看

 “如果没有方向,往哪里走都是前方” 现在的我好像在浓雾中寻找出路。 我觉得我并没有执着, 我只是觉得有时候好像还在梦境里。我依然想念着一些过去。好好的问自己到底想的是什么。 我可以问心无愧的说我想的并不是爱情,而是友谊。 我一直在折磨自己,觉得自己好像一直在犯错因为心里还是有他。 闺蜜都说我必须斩草除根把他忘得一干二净因为他只是个过客。 可是这并不是我对待一份感情的方式。由于自己的确在爱情世界里出轨了,所以觉得自己是个贱女人。 我觉得我需要把这个想法改掉,给自己个改过自新的机会, 不要再给自己贴上负面标签。仔细的想,我怀念的是一起用Discord玩游戏, 听听他分享他如何对待他的学生(他的分享是很有趣, 当他成功突破一些难搞的学生我会替他感到开心), 突然得到他的一个来电(我是一个喜欢聊天的人,自然会感到很开心有人愿意花时间和我聊天),我难过时他懂得安慰我, 陪我看戏(真的没想过一起上网看戏时间好玩的事)。这一切其实我的丈夫也能为我做, 除了玩游戏和看戏因为我丈夫完全不喜欢玩游戏,也没时间陪我看戏,天天都过着时间不够用的日子。自从他不在我生活里出现了,我觉得就少了一点我每天都能期待的事。这些期待也许是新鲜感,同时也是因为我们有太多相似的想法, 聊起来就好像找到知音。就算不能每天联络 (每天和异性联络对于一个有夫之妇也不对吧就算没有暧昧),只需要知道他还是我的朋友,我们还是能偶尔沟通,我会好受多了。  可是亲爱的,要成长就必须愿意尝一尝一些难受的滋味因为这是成长的代价。我是一个吃不了苦的人, 习惯在温室里成长,一直都依赖着我生命里可靠的家人,爱人,知音来呵护我。我不知不觉也连累了很多人来帮我克服自己心里的障碍。 知音忙了一整天值班然后到了咖啡馆想休息放松心情,却得花半个小时在电话里听我哭个痛快 (这是第一次默默的离开他的时候)。 弟弟也花了很长的时间开导我,因为弟弟比我结婚更久我觉得他能帮我解开心里的结。父母对我感到失望,但还接受我爱着我,没有放弃我。丈夫更不用说了,被伤的人是他可是还必须理智的面对一个被自己的感觉蒙蔽了思考能力的我。 他不是圣人,我觉得迟早他那颗纯洁善良的心也会被我伤透。我当然不要继续下去连累我身边重要的人,更不要他们瞧不起我,这么大的一个人了还不能自己解决一些芝麻绿豆的事。之前觉得他们对我的呵护然我有点窒息的感觉是因为我一直给他们的印象是一个无法

Divorce

“When two people decides to get a divorce, it isn’t a sign that they “don’t understand” one other, but a sign that they have, at least, begun to.” - Helen Rowland People always say marriage is a lot of hard work and it isn’t easy yet many of us still decide to get married. I never knew how heavy the responsibility is to have a ring placed on my ring finger and how much it changes me as a person. I was afraid of getting married because I was afraid of the possibility of having a divorce. I often thought that as long as I do not get married, there will never be a possibility for a divorce. The reason I am afraid of divorce stems from my personal believes that a woman’s capability is measured by how well she can manage her household. Perhaps it is very traditional and old fashioned but I do think that there’s a reason why Mother Nature is called “mother” instead of “father” because women play a better role in nurturing, giving and caring. Women rely more on their emotions and intuition an
