As my company XeerSoft is busy with new year resolution, I would like to made mine, too. Seems like the business of making resolution does not come to my mind very often these years.
Listening to Emil Chow's song, the lyrics went like 忙忙忙 忙忙忙 忙是為了自己的理想 還是為了不讓別人失望
(Busy busy busy, busy busy busy, busy is for own ambition or was it to not let people down)
Thinking back, no doubt I have really done a lot of great things. Reflecting why I do it - it was really for someone special. I still remember my aunt (who brought me up) crying to say that we have no achievements in our family. I held on to her words and continued on to do great things to have achievements so she can be proud of the family. I DID IT!
Now is the time for me to stop and reflect. Year 2009 will be the year for me to reflect, relax and rejuvenate.
For the start, I have resigned from almost all NGOs I have joined - CyberCare (my beloved organization which I learnt so much from), Rukun Tetangga Pandan Jaya and Rukun Tetangga Pandan Perdana (a NGO I started and one I am related to), St. John Ambulance Malaysia (will stop once the book is done) and the Dallas Villas Management Corporation (toppled some corrupt guys and elected committee, but I resigned).
I still have Persatuan Pemuda Negara being very passive now and my part time job with YB Dato' Sri Ong Tee Keat, apart from my full time job in XeerSoft.
I have wanted to serve the community very much since young. The taste of serving especially with wit and shrewdness in management plus getting people much older than you to nod at your directions, respect your ways of working and cooperate with you, was really a pleasure. Much more to it, I have done things great to the community, I have helped lives.
Reflections of all these will come later in the blog as I start to think of things.
To resign from all the organizations is not an easy task. It was the decision I made to donate part of my liver to a friend that made me have the courage to stop all NGOs. In fact, I was awaken by a guy who advised me the brotherly way. I am glad to know "Well, the world will not die without me!" Sometimes, doing so much things for others, although I enjoyed it very much, it made me lack of time for myself.
This year it will definitely be a total change and I welcome the year 2009 for MYSELF. Although it sounds selfish, but believe it or not, I need to recollect bits and pieces of myself.
Year 2009!

The Mercedes Benz - a major decision of my life
Geting truly excited these few days - exciting sales coming in my company, excitement of new modules, great new capabilities of XeerSoft solution and Merry Christmas plus Happy Birthday, of course!
As well as there were excitements, my mind is also clouding with fears over the coming surgery. An operation which is a major decision of my life!
Well... I have decided to donate part of my liver to a father's friend. At first, I saw an email, and then I sms the sender to ask if they still need blood. Overlooking the email, I thought O+ blood was needed. The reply came "Still needed but not blood. Is liver". I gasped. But my immediate response was - why not?
So, there I went to send a reply "I can still help" Little did I know that the world is so small, this was the girl which my dad mentioned the other day. 13-year old girl staying in Connaught, having liver cancer, now under chemo and needing a liver for transplant.
Wow... where do I start to tell stories of this journey to the Mercedes Benz? Since I do not know where to start, so let's end first. Hahaha... keep the story for suspense later! And why Mercedes Benz, you will know!
Too late now, gotta sleep...

My mind is Messed Up - I am Great Woman of Our Time!
Today suddenly just feel like blogging.... Not sure why my mind is so messed up these days. Feels like the feelings inside is very unstable. I should be happy but why am I not?
Yesterday I bought the August issue of the Malaysian Women's Weekly magazine. I was nominated as the Great Women of Our Time for the category of Education and Public Service. They got my name spelt wrongly - Chew Hoong Lin (less one "g" after the "Lin") and they got my age younger by 2 years (I am 28 and the age there was 26).
However, it was excited to know that I am the youngest among all the nominees. I am 28 and the youngest after me is 31 years old. I have anticipated this. Many have asked.... so to clarify, I am NOT married yet so the nomination also came to my surprise! Is for great women...
I have sms-ed to my friends to vote for me. Yes, please vote for me by sms to 32733:
MWW{space}GWOT{space}IC Number{space}NAME{space}07
I am numbered as number 07. So, to vote just type the above message and send to 32733.
The Malaysian Women's Weekly is also offering a pearl necklace worth RM5,000 for grab for one lucky voter. The lucky voter will also get 2 invitations to the Great Women of Our Time gala dinner on the 15th August, 2008 in The Westin Hotel.
Voting closes on the 12th August and each sms costs RM1.00. Good luck for me and good luck for voters to grab the necklace and invitations to be with Great Women there!

Millionaire Mind Intensive
3-full days 9am to 11pm.... who will be the nuts to attend such seminar!?
Chew Hoong Ling lor.... It wasn't expected that the seminar could last so long for a day. No wonder it is named Millionaire Mind INTENSIVE! Anyway, I was all excited and the seminar turned out to be one of the best seminars I have ever been.
T. Harv Eker came all the way to Malaysia to share on how to change your mindset and having a total paradigm shift - to think like a MILIONAIRE! 4,800 people were there and the crowd was superb!
The seminar does not only teach about money and how simple it is to change the state of your financial. Speaking about money, one can hardly forget the simple to follow rule.... prepare 6 jars! Put 10% of your income to Financial Freedom Account (FFA) jar, 10% to the Play jar, 10% to Long Term Savings jar, 55% for your Neccesity jar, 5% to the Give jar and 10% to the Education jar.
Most importantly in the seminar, Harv teaches how to change our mindset to think like a millionaire. One of my faves - THINK BOTH - Poor people think either/or... "I can be happy or rich" is a tagline but rich people think BOTH "I can be both happy and rich".
We do not only learn the theory but Harv made us take the inside out - pouring over all anger, hatred, sadness and emotions planted in our lives and start anew. Because whatever the fruits we have now is the results of the ROOTS. Therefore, we were taught to have love, care, blessings and thinking that we deserve to be rich and then our fruits in the future will totally be changed.
We even did great stunts in the Millionaire Mind Intensive. We were taught how to counter our fears and break it, right there in the seminar.
Interested to know more? Attend it yourself at Millionaire Mind Intensive.

National Achievers Congress 2008
It has been a long time since attending meaningful trainings to enrich my life. My last known mentor of life is The Secret DVD. I have watched almost 100 times of the movie, replaying it again and again till it became part of my flesh.
I was applying The Secret when I came across "National Achievers Congress". It was an annual congress where great speakers from around the world are invited to speak on money making. I always wanted to go to one of the congresses and every single year the National Achievers Congress (NAC) appears right in my face.
This time, instead of saying "Oh.... I can't afford to go..", I switched to say "I must go... HOW should I go?" And after a few days of viewing NAC 2008 website all of a sudden I saw the official Chinese magazine, MONEY COMPASS. I gave a call to my friend and managed to get a free tickie.... So..... switching from NO to HOW is definitely a life changing process for me.

Look at the number of people in the NAC 2008!
Look at the number of people in the NAC 2008!
I went for the number one reason to meet the Number One Saleman of the World, Joe Girard. It was recorded in the Guiness Book of Records and no one has ever broke his record yet.
I have learnt so much from his tape "How to Sell Anything to Anyone" and when I saw the NAC 2008, the immediate response was "I MUST meet Joe."
And there he is.... climbing the stairs of success! I was so afraid that he would fall down. As he gave his energetic presentation, I remembered telling myself, I will be number one in anything I do!

Meditation Retreat in Cempaka Buddhist Lodge
I had the experience of having a meditation retreat in Cempaka Buddhist Lodge last month. Bhante Kovida was teaching us meditation and it last for 8 days. It wasn't really fun - as meditation is never fun. In fact some complained that meditation is suffering - having to sit long hours, straight back and folded legs for long time - is tiring and exhausting.
However, as it goes the way it is, meditation was never meant for physical health anyway. It is meant to "exercise" the mind. While physical exercise will need "something" to be done, meditation is to exercise the mind by giving it some rest, think of nothing and letting go of everything.
Full 8 days, I was in Cempaka Buddhist Lodge in Petaling Jaya. Having the meditation retreat made me feel "upgraded". When we upgrade a computer, it normally means an increase in memory or storage. Upgrading myself means gaining insight spiritually and renewed self from the inside out. Not too much of the upgrades outside - like better dressed and increase in outer beauty. What's more important is the inner wisdom and spiritual health.
The 8-day experience exceed what I gain from 27 years of life. I would say it gives me increase patience, better visibility, improved alertness and better memory.
