I attended a free lecture by Tony Buzan, the father of mind mapping, last Saturday. Although it was just 2 hour, I absorbed many important things. I'm going to share some of the things I obtained from the lecture. The qualities to be a great leader:

1. Verbal intelligence include numerical, vocabulary, financial, etc.

2. Physical intelligence which means the leader has to be fit.

3. Personal intelligence referring to the ability to love oneself, if not you won't be able to like people and also emotional intelligence.

4. Social intelligence referring to the ability to socialise with people and animal!

5. Ethical/ spiritual referring to people tend to follow leaders that speak the truth.

6. Creativity to solve problems and create new products.

So how and what to maintain your intelligence?

Enrol long life learning lessons.

Redevelop your senses of intelligence: taste, listening, physical, etc.

Rest, relaxation and solitude

Friendship, affection and love

Diet; have proper diet; if you eat junk food, then you will have junk brain. HAHA!

I will blog more of Tony Buzan's teachings after I finished reading his Creativity Intelligence book.

I wanted to update the blog yesterday but could not open it so have to do it today.

Soooo.... I received a lot of feedback about the wishlist. Actually my wishlist is only until no. 13 but my friend and I are entering a contest where we need to name a gift to a fellow blogger and this friend of mine doesn't know what to give and what worse is the selection of gifts is very limited. So I just went to the site and enlisted the items which bring to the total of 30. I hope most of you won't be shocked by the list. I know Jolenesiah is very shocked to see no.14 as a gift. Well I would be delighted to have no.14 item by the way.

Despite being far from my birthday date, I have received already 2 birthday items already. One is by Jolenesiah for treating me to an Italian meal at Sheraton Subang Hotel and the other is mp3 player which I won from a Heineken beer contest. So no. 17 will be crossed out. Stupidly I told my mum that First Prize is more impressive than Grand Prize and if that's the case why did Grand Prize winners have better prizes?? I got whacked by mum and discovered my folly.

Actually no.12 could be crossed out too since I bought a branded bedsheet for RM30; a good bargain since the original price is RM 159.

I got this url: http://www.paulsadowski.com/birthday.asp from devilssidekick's blog. It's very long but I will only paste the important parts.

Your birthstone is Sapphire

The Mystical properties of Sapphire

Though not meant to replace traditional medical treatment, Sapphire is used for clear thinking. Some lists consider these stones to be your birthstone.

(Birthstone lists come from Jewelers, Tibet, Ayurvedic Indian medicine, and other sources)

Agate, Moonstone, Lapis Lazuli

Your birth tree is

Lime Tree, the Doubt

Accepts what life dishes out in a composed way, hates fighting, stress and labour, tends to laziness and idleness, soft and relenting, makes sacrifices for friends, many talents but not tenacious enough to make them blossom, often wailing and complaining, very jealous, loyal.


What the heck. Soft and relenting? That's not TRUE. Not tenacious enough to make them blossom: that is quite true. But hey I'm trying to polish those talents one by one. Everything needs money... And oh yea, WORM WORM, you don't have to give me reminder about this when you can't even differentiate a push up and push up bra. And if a girl doesn't want to wear certain outfit saying she got no figure, means she got no figure!!! Not she NEEDS push up bra!

Edit: This is my birthday wishlist.

I just came back from volunteering as an emcee for a public lecture entitled "Leadership Lessons from Gandhi, KIng and Ikeda" organized by Soka Gakkai Malaysia. And what Professor Radhakrisnan quote from Mahatma Gandhi is right: Fear is the ultimate number one enemy. Anyway... I was not afraid to emcee but I don't know why my hands are shaken and I have to hold the mike to avoid the floor looking at me how shaky I was. And deep inside of me... I told myself to bring it on. The speed and intonation was good but it's just I could not get the words fluidly. Damn it. I told the PR person that I would like to emcee again in near future because I want to improve on my skills. I may not like to emcee but then ... didn't I say I wanted to improve on myself? And didn't I pledge that I will give back to my community? So emcee is my way to give back.

So I had better do better in the next event.

I discovered why I'm having fever and sore throat these few days. That's because my wisdom tooth is wiggling its way out and I'm in pain. My gums are in pain. I think I'm going to see the dentist soon. Damn. I should have seen the dentist last month when Colgate is giving free check ups in all participating outlet.

Just hopefully no dental surgery this time because I don't want history to repeat again. But good on the other hand since I would have extra sick leaves.

I'm very single and available. Yea right, doctor. I'm so not. I'm here to see you for my fever and gastric pain, not to hear "I have asked my pianist friend to teach me 5 songs so I could impress girls." Oi oi doctor... back to my fever!

So there goes my conversation with the doctor in the morning. I was wondering if that was what he said to every patient he met today because we patients have waited one hour and forty five minutes just to see him!!!!

And again for the second time, doctor has told me to NOT TALK SO MUCH in order not to strain my jaw ligament.

And doctor... stop telling me to destress myself when I'm not stressing myself out!!! And oh yea ... doctor ... don't tell me to find a rich boyfriend t settle money problem. It doesn't work.

Anyway... doctor ... I will try finding a singing coach for you to impress girls. Stay tune to my text messages. Hehe. Yea I got his contact number. Yea... I could date him. :D
