Boiling water with fragrance

As the picture tells all. Put in a few say 3 or 4 pandan leaves in your kettle when you want to boil water to get rid of chlorine or any chemical smell. Each time when I pour water from my thermoflask into the cup, my whole office is full with pandan fragrance. My colleagues like it a lot. So far in my life I haven't met anyone who dislike pandan fragrance. Please let me if you do not like pandan smell. Be the first, hehe.

o they do not like to clean and washing up.
o they do not like the smoke flies over into their living rooms for those staying inside apartment.
o they do not have the time, got to spend on other more important priority eg second job
o scared that possibly their hands may be rough and coarse and it is no longer attractive to glide their hubby or b/f's cock. ^-^
o laziness and tiredness.
o they will ask you back, "why cook if you can buy outside?"
Well I am not bothered. I cook becos i love to.

Do Telepathy really exist ?

According to the Collins dictionary, telepathy means the direct communication and feelings between people's minds, without the need to use speech, writing or any other normal signal.

The unseen vibration of thoughts.

We all know that everything starts with a thought. A thought has energy, which will have a positive response or negative reaction. A thought can be given as a problem or a solution. In our life time we have experience thought of stress, fear, suspicion, arrogance , happiness, contentment, anger , etc. When we express a thought through mouth, it becomes a word; when we express a thought through the eyes it is a vision or an experience. The process of action originates in the mind. Thinking is also an action.

The effects of our thoughts on our body, the self and the environment.
Thought have power and vibrations. Since the mind runs the body, a positive thinker is supposed to have healthier body compared to a negative thinking person other things being equal . It is found that when a person becomes angry, the sympathetic branch of the autonomous nervous system is activated. This cause heart rate to accelerate and the arteries to constrict. Feelings affect the systems of our body positively or negatively depending on our thoughts positive or negative respectively. Eg, the thoughts of peace, purity and contmentment not only have a soothing effect on the body, but the self also becomes happy and peaceful.

Similarly our thoughts create a pleasant environment or uneasy environment. It is our experience that when we visit one person we feel happy to be there, while we visit another person, we feel uneasy and uncomfortable. At these two places, the thoughts of the people who live in or surround that place are in action.

It is also said that sometimes when we think of a friend far away location very intensely. Coincidentally that friend called us. This explained that his thoughts are traveling to us, and we are receiving his thoughts or vice versa. Seems that we did receive the vibrations anyway.

Animals such as dogs are very sensitive to human's thoughts. That's why we have dog's owners who praise his dog for being very sensitive towards his moods and feelings at different time. Those feelings need not be expressed.

This also explain why many times home cooking taste better compared to outside food. The vibration of thoughts from the person who cooks affect the food. An angry cook unconsciously are putting the vibration of anger in the food. Likewise a mum who loves the child cooks with love and the vibration of love is spread onto the food. Thus home cooked food usually are tastier.

How I spend my evening today, 21/5/09

It was all ad hoc. Today I leave the office 5' o'clock. As I was driving. I feel that I am free, too lazy to do any housework today. So I stop by a shopping complex. I have my dinner there. I ate laksa because I try to stay away from oily food. So I proceed into the shopping mall around 6 o'clock. I enjoy window shopping. Window shopping release stress free of charge. Some more got the chance to see so many varieties of things. Electrical goods, home appliances, furniture, grocery, antique, book shops etc.

No wonder some people said that I am lucky. I can shop or go anywhere anytime I like. I have no bondages. Nobody is going to stop me. Neither I am being pulled by anything/anyone.

Unlike some people they want companionship for shopping. What the hell companionship for shopping for. I may felt pressurised if the other person allows me to see where or which stalls I want to see and he or she just tag along. Yet I also feel irritated if I give in to the other party's choice of places to go. Both ways also no fun if anyone is with me. Can't understand some people are like parasites always in need of people besides them, accompany them. Too bad if I use the word too harsh "parasites" (can't think of any better word, hehe). I don't remember being bored window shopping alone.

After shopping for more than 2 hours, I walk to the parking bay and I took a slow drive home.

Wow time passes by so fast, I have to quickly water all my beloved plants. Hand wash my clothes, take a shower. Make myself a drink, don't want coffee tonight. Drink almond for a change. I have to eat fruits. Fruits are very material to me. Without them I feel very uncomfortable and in extreme case I can fall sick. This is typical me. Have a pear, bananas and 3 nos. of left over mangosteens from yesterday.

My happy hours has finally arrived. That is the time I check my emails and read other people's blogs. I follow nearly 10 persons's blogs. Those are my favorites. I love all their blogs, each is special in their own ways. Times are up. I have to sleep early tonight. Sleeping early is one of the anti-aging tips. Haha. Early to bed, early to rise, makes one healthy and wise. Sweet dreams.

The Most Misunderstood Aspect Of Law Of Karma

The Law Of Karma, of action and reaction, is applicable to the spiritual sphere and is absolute. It states for every action there will be an equal and opposite reaction. "Opposite" of course means 'opposite in direction'. Whatever interactions I have with others, I receive the equivalent in return. This means that, if I have given happiness, I will receive happiness in return and if I have given sorrow, I will receive sorrow in return. The law is simple and, when understood in its full depth, it can give insight into the significance of events in my own world and in the world at large. "As you sow , so shall you reap". It is the Law of Cause and Effect.

The tricky part is that sometimes we heard of people crying and asking, "How come such an innocent small child has to go through such hardship as to endure a certain disease for eg hole in the heart, cancer and what not. He or she hasn't done anyone any harm." It is true the child hasn't done anyone any harm. People are talking about this life. They have just forgotten about his/her previous life deed. What he or she has done in his or her past life?.

The negativity of the past life has led him/her into "karmic-debts" in this present life of him/her. He or she is now repaying that debt by sickness suffering for example.

Ignorant of law is no excuse. Just like we are still affected by the law of gravity either we aware or non-aware of its existence.
