24 years ago at this date, my mum suffered a lot because I excreted solid waste even when I was in the womb. Realizing the potential of poisoning, the obstetricians had no choice but to perform a Caesarean section to take me out safely. Dear mum, I’m sorry for the pain that I have caused. Thanks for taking care of me for so many years. Without you there won’t be me. I love you!

Last night my pals who are still in Taman Pulai Utama celebrated my birthday. Guys, thanks for the nice Secret Recipe cake. Oh ya, a big thanks to Daniel for dedicating a special birthday post to me. The birthday animation is very adorable. I’m so touched! Anyway, thanks to all of you greeting me with SMS, MMS, Facebook wall posts, MSN messeage etc. I’m honoured to have you all as my family and friends!

People can easily lose their ways without knowing it. I was one of them a few days ago. Law of Attraction does work its way on me, the more I get frustrated, the more bad things appear in my mind. After the previous post, I moved away from my laptop, took a good nap and turned to musical rejuvenation. Somehow the player played Emma Shapplin’s La Notte Etterna from the album bought last year and Enigma’s Return To Innocence. I got deeply attracted to them and the weird part is that such craving was never being felt before. The songs brought me back in front of my laptop searching for more related information. I must admit, when you are feeling calm and relieved, good things started to manifest. First I accidentally encountered 50 inspirational quotes, then cc visited my blog and in return I browsed her blog only to find out more positive posts. Life is certainly simple and great. Be positive and everything will be all right.

Well, miraculously I took a very short time frame to recover, much shorter than my previous encounters. I don’t know what to say but this is truly an amazing experience. Maybe this is a gift from above? =p

Last but not least, I present you the two songs that played an important in my speedy recovery: La Notte Etterna in Italian and Return To Innocence in English.

Emma Shapplin - La Notte Etterna

Engima - Return To Innocence
