Dreams do come true
Again, I must say, for
I thought I only had one
(Visit Disneyland)
Yet, once you’d been under
That magical, whimsical spell
When the magic wand struck again
You couldn’t help but to wonder
What’s going on?

Only this time, you dreamt bigger
And so you never expected it to
   Come true!

“It was just a desire!”
I kept telling myself

Consciously pushing it away
A matter of fact
I wouldn’t even dare
To dream, to imagine
Only on paper did I dare
To explore, to be adventurous

So when it arrived
I couldn’t believe
This is really happening

I tried toning it down
This doesn’t do me any justice
Nor my dream any respect

I should just be
As I was saying
In my reflection
Among circle of friends

“No more trying
Just being!”
I advised!!!

HAHAHA!

Do I ever
Practise what I preach!!!

I had better
For my dream
To do something
In a yoga studio
With my book
Among circle of women
To inspire and be inspired
CAME TRUE ON A PERFECT SATURDAY EVENING!!!

Oh my, what a perfect night
What a serene sensation

With the most soothing voice
The instructor recited her hand-picked poems
From my very own book
Integrated with the most
Tranquil stillness of Yin Yoga
What more can I ask for?

My wish, my desire
Is to have women who
So solemnly deserved
Be still for a moment
Soak in peaceful prana (life energy)
Listen to my voice of plea
To really connect with their
Mind, body and soul

For each is a heroine
To her own family
Without them, family suffers
Husbands, children, pets,
Love is not complete

So a beautiful evening
With all these beautiful women
A perfect cleanse of mind, body and soul
We each held in harmony
C’est la viv

That, my utmost desire
My gift to mankind
To nurture, nourish and regenerate
The light, heart and soul of flagship
To each of their family they are

I salute, to these women
My friends, sisters and comrades
Thank you for making
My dream came true!

This is it! I have announced it to the world! My book and my website!

On 2011-11-11, superstition led me to wait for this day! HAHAHA! So after all this, I thought I was free at last! Nevertheless, anything that brings GOOD luck, well, I still allow myself a leeway to fall! I AM HUMAN AFTER ALL!!!

One would have though, t I would be exhilarating over this announcement! When asked yesterday after she saw my book: “You must be excited over this. How do you feel?” My mind drew a blank. I have disengaged myself from feelings for such a long time I still haven’t been able to let loose, without making a conscious effort.

So to my readers out there, my apology! Yes, I feel complete now that I have freed myself from all aspects of self imprisonment I had imposed the lock on myself. However, I have yet unleashed all negative cells from my body in order to respond naturally in a positive state. I reckon, this is a life long process; and I have yet to repeat this journey time and again. Good news is that I have gone through this process once, the next process would be easier and quicker; and so the next.

So, after conscious shifting into this new found freedom to a positive state, I feel SOLID! That’s the first word that came to me!

Yes, such an abstract feeling, my friend!


None of those ornamental uplifted feelings 
 When I clung onto 
   A word of praise, a nod of approval!
At the same time,
Neither of those awful heavy feelings 
 Deep rooted my feet below the ground.
Just plain SOLID me!!!

I have substance 
  In and out, 
   No more or less, 
     Just being ME!

Do I feel disappointed? 

To a certain extent

Yet

I am living in the present
Feeling, tasting, savoring
Every vision, sound, fragrance
Wouldn’t trade it for the world!

Today, NOW,
I am 52,
At this very moment,
Never feel any younger
Fresher, ALIVE


I thank GOD for such
A VIVID birthday present
I see, hear, smell and taste
This very lively endowment
Bestowed upon this tiny self
Me, my life, I live!!!

Let’s celebrate!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!
