Malaysia's Independence Day

Malaysia as we know it today is a thriving developing country, often considered a “role model” by its Southeast Asian neighbours for its economic and political stability, multicultural harmony and steady progress. 31st August 2010 marks the 53rd year of this country's independence from British colonialism and the day the joyful, triumphant shouts of “Merdeka, Merdeka, Merdeka!” resonated throughout the nation as Malaya's first Prime Minister, Allahyarham Tunku Abdul Rahman stood on a podium at Merdeka Square doing the same.

The name Malaya was then changed to Malaysia when the country was officially made a federation of 13 states including Sabah and Sarawak. Article 1(1) of the Federal Constitution states that "The federation shall be known, in Malay and English, as Malaysia". Although Singapore broke away and became a nation of its own in 1965, the rest of the states have remained firmly together, combining to make Malaysia the harmonious melting pot of cultures it is today.

Tips for Mastering Visualization Techniques

Visualization is creating a mental picture of something. Visualization is important because it makes the future become more clear. Seeing yourself already achieving your goal makes your brain believe that attaining that goal is possible. Focusing consistently on any given goal will enable you to manifest it far sooner than if you didn't focus on it at all. Focus brings the goal closer to you.

Have you attempted visualizing, but find it difficult or impossible? Try this. Pick up a photo and study it closely; then close your eyes and tell me what you see. If you see anything resembling the picture, you are visualizing. It's that simple. If this doesn't work, or if you want to improve your visualization skills, take the same picture and while looking at it, close your eyes and open your eyes and close your eyes again. Do this as many times as possible for a few minutes. Soon you'll be seeing the picture, but you won't know if your eyes are open or closed -- and you will be visualizing better than before. Practice this technique often. You can focus on anything: people's faces, pictures, buttons. Get creative and have fun with it.

Additional Visualization Tips

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have. 

"Wow, this girl in my office is a real looker. I'm crazy about her because she's also understanding, intelligent, tender - so many things that my spouse is not." 

Somewhere along the way, you'll find a woman or a man who will be more charming or sensitive. More alluring. More thoughtful. Richer. Have greater sex appeal. And you will find a woman or man who will need you and pursue you and go loco over you more than your spouse ever did. 

Because no wife or husband is perfect. Because a spouse will only have 90% of what you're looking for. So adultery takes place when a husband or wife looks for the missing 10%. 

Let's say your wife is melancholic by nature. You may find yourself drawn to the pretty clerk who has a cherry daughter. 

Or because your wife is a homebody in slippers and pyjamas, smelling of garlic and fish oil, you may fall for a fresh-smelling young sales representative that visits your office in a sharp black blazer, high heels, and a red pencil-cut skirt. 

Or because your husband is the quiet type, your heart may skip a beat when you meet an old college flame who has the makings of a talk show host. 

But wait! That's only 10% of what you don't have. 

Don't throw away the 90% that you already have! Add to your spouse's 90% the 100% that represents all the years that you have been with each other. 

The storms you have weathered together. 

The unforgettable moments of sadness and joy as a couple. The many adjustments you have made to love the other. The wealth of memories that you've accumulated as lovers. 

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have. 

But faithfulness happens when you start thanking God for what you already have. 

But I'm not just talking about marriage. 

I'm talking about life! About your jobs. About your friends. About your children. About your lifestyles. Are you like the economy airline 

The main message: 
Start appreciating what you have right now

POINTS to ponder

A very good article which I would like to share with all of you


TRUST is a very important factor for all relationships. . When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to  suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity may result in separation. 

A telephone operator told me that one day she received a phone call.   She answered, "Public Utilities Board." There was silence. She  repeated, "PUB." There was still no answer. When she was going tocut off the line, she heard a lady's voice, "Oh, so this is PUB. Sorry, I got the number from my Husband's pocket but I do not know whose number it is."
