The Purposeful Inception

What a title! I am amazed myself. :)

I slept through the day after reading a few chapters of 'New Moon'. Interesting. And shortly after I've got up from my nap, I received a call from Ryan, more like a follow up of his earlier sms that they (Ryan & Agnes) went for a gynae checkup and found that the baby did not have a heartbeat. They seeked for a second opinion and the results were the same. I think, it must have been sad news for them. And I believe that they composed themselves before calling me to update me on the news.

To be honest, there was a certain kind of understanding that unfolded in my space. That, the baby did not die, only that the formation of the egg and sperm had fulfilled its purpose in bringing Ryan & Agnes closer in spirit through their union. Although I do remember what I vaguely told Ryan & Agnes in my attempt to uplift them from their recent sadness, I also remember that the words that came out from my mouth were natural and did not require thinking. It was as if, the information did not come from me, and yet, I had all the answers. Something that hubby mentioned once to me, too.

Who could tell, why the formation of life - which brought two people together in their union? Who could tell why that formation fell apart right after the wedding? What are they but a story, or if you like it, a purpose for it and for what purpose further would they stay on if their purpose had been fulfilled?

I told Ryan & Agnes to pray tonight - to thank God and the little one for His and his presence, if ever they are separate; also to light a candle. I don't know why. I guess it is just a symbol - a symbol of light, of innocence, of purity, of love.

Blessed be, dear one. Love be with you, and Ryan, and Agnes.

A Little Downtime from Qigong (AGAIN!) & Something to Perk me Up!

I felt a bit whoosy and dizzy and weak today the minute I got up and I can't help but associate it with last night's session of Qigong. Ah well, at least it was not as bad as the other time and I think it was because I was smarter this time... I was more careful not to 'overexert' myself or 'overabsorb' chi, for that matter. Lols.

Although I am a little sorry that I am not too well today, but there is something that I did for myself to perk me up! I bought 'New Moon' by Stephanie Meyer today! Well you see, I was contemplating if I should get those books since Terri & Gladys already have them and I could just borrow from them.. but you know what happened (of course you don't know.. how would you know, right?? DUH!!), I dropped Gladys book (Twilight) in a puddle of mud on Saturday night. It's not nice to give people back a muddy book right?(lols), so I decided that I will keep the book and get a new one for her. And since I was keeping the first book, aiyah.. might as well just buy the second and the third and the forth right? Hehehe.. well, I was tempted to, but I decided not to overwhelm myself too much so I took one step at a time. Bought 'New Moon' first. :)

I've started reading a few pages after reading a few chapters of Byron Katie's 'A Thousand Names for Joy' earlier while waiting for Thea to finish class. Just want to ensure a good mix.. lols. It will surely keep my day going for now.

Catch 'ya later, alligator!! ;p

My 2nd QiGong Class

You guessed right, I chickened out (if you did make a guess if I'd ever continue Qigong). After my first attempt at Gigong and falling sick after that, I got really scared going back to Qigong classes. So I keeped the 2nd, 3rd and 4th class altogether. But today, I decided that I've paid for it and won't put my hubby's hard earn money to waste, so I changed into the Qigong uniform and prepared myself.

Believe it or not, before I left home, I felt F-E-A-R. Real, solid F-E-A-R! To the extent that I actually felt nauseous! I was THAT scared! I quickly called Angel. I couldn't stand the fear! I so wanted to turn my car around but at the same time, diligently watched the 'wanting to turn my car around' feeling.

The instructor, Simon, reminded that he could help me. He said all I had to do was to tell him. Fine. That still didn't seem to calm me to the degree of my self inflicted fear. Angel asked me, "if you are not ready, you don't have to do it." The thing is, I am already AT IT!! Stubbon, hard-headed me!! Argh!!!

I was very cautious throughout the whole session, careful not to overdraw 'chi', or overabsorb 'chi'. Although I had no complaints about the earlier down time after Qigong, but I guess the memory is still very fresh in the head hence my reluctance to re-experience it. In the midst of the session, I could feel that familar nauseous, full feeling again... argh... I quickly called out to Simon who advised me to shake my legs, or to rotate my ankles clockwise or anti-clockwise. I did as I was told. Ok, I did feel better. But it didn't stop thoughts like, "geez.. I am really not enjoying this"; "this is so boring..."; or "I really, really prefer dancing..." swimming around in my head. Oh well, another session done. There's still coming Thursday to see how I truly feel about Qigong without judging it. Two lessons are too little time to assess anything.

I am aware of my judgements towards Qigong due to a past experience.. argh.. why do past experiences always have a take on our future actions.. argh... but I am quite sure, that since I am not my mind, I would continue trying this out, until I am divinely inspired to stop... Lols.

Time to shower now. Night! :)

Body, Mind & Spirit Event (BMS Event) on 7th & 8th Nov @ Clove&Clive, Kelana Jaya

One of the activities that I assist and support Clove&Clive is the Body, Mind & Spirit Event. It is the 4th time that they are hosting this event within the span of 2 years. So far, the response has been good.

You see, besides Clove&Clive's vision to be a centre which reaches out to people to live and love consciously through mindfulness, it also serves to educate and conduct experiential sessions of the alternative therapies available in the local market besides our very conventional moden medicine which mainly consist of drugs, drugs and drugs! More like, instead of treating the symptoms, let's just get to root cause of any discomfort (health, personal, money) to dissolve it  nature's way (without the intoxication of drugs and going under the knife, that is). When there's balance in the body, mind & spirit, one is able to function more completely in life. The motivation behind this move gave birth to the Body, Mind & Spirit Event.

To elaborate more about the basis of this Event, we invite several practitioners in the local market whose objectives are similar, that is, to reach out to people with love and compassion. For this round, the therapies include aura & chakra readings, dorn therapy, fairy card readings, digital meridian system reading (which is actually a health reading), tarot card reading and past life regression. We (yes, including me) at Clove&Clive believe that to tackle any discomfort in our lives, be it mental stress, physically pain or outside issues (career, relationships and etc), we need to go back to the source of the so-called problem/issue.

In such sessions, say, if you have a health problem (backache, constant headache and etc), a relationship problem (spouse, girlfriend/boyfriend, in-laws, children, boss, maid...), a money problem (career or business), depending on the type of therapies you choose, you might be able to derive either some answers to your situation or some guidance to lead you out of your 'problems'. Of course, it is also subjective to your own willingness. If your intention is just to try it out just for fun, it works that way too! ;) You'd be surprised what you could find out about yourself too! SERIOUS!!!

Anyway, just to brief you on the details in case you are interested (and I sincerely hope that you are interested!): -

Weekend

Twilight

You wouldn't believe it. I actually couldn't put the book down! 'Twilight', I mean! And I was contemplating after I finished the last page of the book, if I should rush to the book store to get 'New Moon'. I assessed my impulsiveness and decided - no, not today anyway; because I would have made a purposefully drive there, wasting resources. I'll get it tomorrow.. ;p

I finished the book in 2 days. It was great. I did not find it long-winded as what the girls experienced. I loved Stephenie Meyer's writing style, so descriptive and detailed, so that I, as the reader was able to experience what the writer envisaged. Fantastic. And guess what, I made hubby watch the movie with me too! He summarised that it gave him an insight of what Vampires are really like (especially the new breed - by the way, he loves vampires), and I experienced it more as a... you know, love story.. rather than a vampire story. The experience of a girl, falling in love; the experience of a girl, being in love; the experience of a girl, who fights to be with the one she loves. Yeah sure, the vampires do make the story a little more interesting. :)

Ryan & Agnes' Wedding

That was on Saturday night. We were right on time for the dinner. Hubby was making a fuss during the drive there on how we are always late for wedding dinners and etc etc etc... lols... it was really cute. I was unaffected at all. As far as I was concerned, I was not late. I was on time. I didn't have to wait for 1.5 hours before dinner started, and it gave me some time (or rather sufficient time) to say hi, congratulate the groom, find my sit and act pretty. Within half hour, dinner started. What perfect timing!!

Agnes looked beautiful. But that night, instead of bringing the G10 or BB's 500D (did I mention, BB put his 500D under my care while away on retreat), I brought out 'Twilight'. Really, as if I could read in the car or during dinner (quite rude, right?) - so I totally missed a picture opportunity with them with my own camera. Agnes was a little uncomfy in her gowns because well, she is pregnant. I guess the bloatedness and etc got into her. I remember those feelings.. hmm...

We didn't stay very late. Ryan had too many friends there to entertain to hope that he would give us the usual attention that he would have given us. So, we decided to leave early, right after dessert. :)

Salsa Havana

I heard that Salsa Havana was closing down and relocating. Hubby was quite sure that after the wedding dinner, I would want to go straight home so that I could continue reading 'Twilight'. He was right. There was about 80% of me which wanted to do that. But I figured, we (hubby and I) were already out, and I was dressed pretty decently (not like my usual si-lai-house-wife style) so I told him that I want to go to Salsa Havana - that is, of course, if Alina was there too.

So I texted Alina. So blessed, she was there. After the dessert, we left for Salsa Havana. It has been a long while since I've heard latin music. Sounded like heaven to me. I was welcomed by the sight of Mike standing outside Salsa Havana, smoking. He then brought me to Alina. It was so good to see her again! I missed her. :) And it was pretty good to see her in colours too (as in colourful makeup)! She looked gorgeous. :)

I had a total of 3.5 dances only (yes, I counted). Thrice with Mike and half a dance with hubby. I tried to teach him, but he was really too shy... poor fella.. Besides that, I had a great time catching up with Alina. :)

We left at about 1pm. I think we were there for barely 1.5 hours. But it was ok. It was a good start. At least I am physically there, rather than dreaming about it!!

Home & Sleep

After we got home and changed, I read. Lols... just couldn't resist. But I guess I was too tired after that, I actually dozed off.

And I woke up the next morning (Sunday) at 1130am!! Jolly wholly!! I've never woke up so late in a long long time! Felt great! And then I read, and read, and read with the short interruption trip to Pyramid to get my laptop fixed (the letter 's' on my keyboard hadn't been functioning for a while ;p).

And can you imagine, after we got back, I slept some more.. suddenly I just love to sleep so much.. Lols. Must be catching up with lost sleep before this!

I was literally forced to wake up just to have dinner.. :/ I think if hubby didn't wake me up, I would have slept right through... just to wake up to read 'Twilight' instead.

Dinner was darn good, by the way. My in laws (had dinner with them) always had a way to work up my appetite! :D

Conclusion

I had a good mix of the weekend. The reading, the dancing, the sleeping, the eating, the traveling, the catching up and etc... Now, I am quite determined to get a pair of dancing schools. I wanna go dancing with Alina and Gladys and Terri. Hubby said he would take up dancing, as long as it made me happy. Well, I am more in a position of, 'if you wanna take up dancing, make sure that you are happy. not me!'
