Wedding @ St. Thomas Cathedral, Kuching.
This was one of the few wedding shoots that I have covered in year 2011. The altar of St. Thomas Cathedral is beautifully lighted with natural sunlight beaming through its high sidewall’s windows. Thus the ambient light setting help photographers capture its beautiful wedding atmosphere.

Mistakes Are Priceless Experience
Last Christmas, Paul flew over 800km to give his heart to someone special. And the very next day (Boxing Day) he was ditched in the lurch. And he heard, "Don't Call Me! Bye! Don't Call Me! Bye!" These are the very words that happened to come out of the mouth of someone who was singing praises of love earlier on.
Sometimes life can hit you hard in the head like a brick. And so many relationships are destroyed by what comes out of the mouth. In an argument, everyone wants to win. It takes two to argue and one to stop. If one cannot control their emotions, it will eventually consumed them. Was it a silly mistake to fly over 800km on the best day of the year and get hit in the head? One thing for sure, mistakes are priceless learning experience and it teaches us what we are stupid or crummy about. If we don't learn anything from it, we have lost the lessons. Wouldn't it be better to use the money to buy Christmas gifts for underprivileged and needy children? Surely it will bring them joys and cheers on the "Spirit of Giving" season."The true spirit of Christmas lies in your heart." - Santa Claus. Time to Ponder!
Do you know why people watch a lot of TV?
Do you know why people who have no dreams watch a lot of TV?
It’s simply because they don’t have a dream of their own. So they watch a lot of TV so they can live in other people dreams.
They go to work, come back home, have dinner and then watch TV. After TV, they go to sleep and the next morning, go back to work, come back home, have dinner and then watch TV again. These cycles repeat itself all over again day in, day out. Are these people gonna be in the same predicament 5 years from now?
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” – Einstein.
The biggest handicap in life is having no vision or dream. The people with no dream works for people with a dream. People simply adjust easier to the pain of hardship than to the pain of success. Be the mover and shaker, not the shook and shaken. Logic doesn’t move people, emotion does. So your dreams must be emotionally driven in order to drive you to achieve your goals. Start setting your GOALS to get things done because your future is what you do today.
“You can’t hit a home run if you don’t swing the bat.”
Seeing Is Believing!
Heard of this old saying? People only do what they believe in. They wouldn’t do what they don’t believe. What you do is the one thing that give the result. So literally, what you believe in your mind right now, you become.
In order to be successful in anything, you first have to believe it is possible. Knowledge is nothing. Belief is everything. That means you have to have the right mindset. With the right mindset, you have to do what it right for your life. Believing in things that you can do is the way you program your mind. Your belief must be emotionally driven in order to help you build your success. Belief releases creative powers. When there is a will, there is a way. So find your belief before your belief find you.
“The only things that stand between a person and what they want in life are the will to try it and the faith to believe it’s possible.” – Rich Devos

Who You Will Be 5 Years From Now Is Who You Associate With Today
Where you are and who you are with is going to determine where you are heading. So literally, who you listen to will determine how you live your life.
The people we are surrounding with have a greater impact in our life than what is build into the gene.
You need to spend your life with self motivated people. But that is going to be very hard because 80% (80/20 rule) of the people in the world ain’t self motivated.
Always remember that two things are free in this world, oxygen and opinions. So whose words would you listen to, positive people or negative people?
“Always listen to the experts, they will tell you what can’t be done and why then do it.” – Robert Heinlein
So do you spend a lot of time with anyone that isn’t very positive about anything in life? Take time to think about it!
You Are What You Think You Are
“The biggest lesson is the importance of what you think and if you know what you think, you know what you were because that is what made you what you have. Simply by changing your thoughts changes your life.” – Dale Carnegie.
The greatest battle is in our mind…that is how we think and what do we think that is going to determine where we end up. So how you think determines how you act. How you act in turn determines how others react to you.
To live differently, you need to think differently because your thinking runs your life. Our life is what our thoughts are made out of. Whatever you think is real, it is your reality. You may need to change the way you think to change your reality.
“They always say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.” – Andy Warhol
Growth through life require change. Associate with people who have different work interests broadens your thinking and helps you to see the big picture.
Sometimes in the wind of change, we find our true direction. So make a decision now to change your thinking. Change your thinking to change your life.
We Are Looking For People Who Are Looking For Us
We are looking for somebody that want something in life. Somebody that want a self need for change. Somebody who are at the point of their lives where they are open to other ways of making money or open to other options or sick of it.
Do you know anybody who is sick of it?
Do you know anybody who is sick of their car not working and not been able to afford to get it fix?
Do you know anybody who is sick of getting a credit card bill that they can’t pay?
Do you know anybody that sick of telling their kids that they can’t have something they wanna have?
Do you know any body who is sick of having to work when they want to retire?
Do you know anybody who is sick of it when they want to be home with their kids?
Do you know anybody who is sick of their bosses or jerks who doesn’t respect them or make them compromise their values?
Do you know anybody who is sick of the fact their life doesn’t fit where they thought were gonna be like when they were young?
Do you know anybody who is sick of any of those things,
… sick of their house they lived in,
… sick of the lives they are living,
… sick of the things they are getting out of life,
… sick of the lives they are able to influence?
Do you think anybody who isn’t? Very few ain’t. The trouble is that they do not walk around with sign on it, saying …”We are sick of it, HELP us.” They walk around with mask on because they are not suppose to be sick of it. Because that implied in their mind they did something wrong.
They didn’t do anything wrong, they have got education, they worked hard trying to keep their nose clean in all the things they do. Somewhere down inside, they know it is not working and they guess it must be working for everybody else because everybody else has got a mask on too … ”look like it’s working for them.” Down inside most people are not that all happy with where they are in life. And even if they are, there are enough that ain’t that you can build an empire and we are looking for those people.
We are looking for these people who want something and are willing to take actions to change their lives. If you want to change your life, you will have to change your thinking. If you don’t change direction, you will end up where you are headed.
Do you have a business or job mentality?
What choices in life do you have if you are in a job?
If you are in the corporate world, you are working for someone else options, opportunities or freedom.
If your income is based on time, then your income is limited.
If your income is from a job, then you have a job mentality.
Job mentality is the result of the education system. The entire education system does not teach you anything about making money. All it does is to prepare you to go out to look for a job. As a result, most people can’t see income in different forms. They can’t see how they can create additional incomes if they have a full time job. People who are finding jobs have no leverage because they are stuck in an old economy idea of working hard. And working hard for money will not make you rich. Your job will not take care of you when you are sick either.
To be financially secure, we need more than one source of incomes. Learn to see income in different forms. Multiple sources of income can be created in the form of rentals, royalties or hobbies.
So stop thinking like a worker, start thinking like a business owner. That’s the value of thinking in the new economy.
