Nick Vujicic – The True Motivational Story Of A No-Arms And No-Legs Giant


The first time that I came across this true motivational story of Nick Vujicic was during Adam Khoo’s Wealth Academy course that I joined in November 2007. It was a 3.5-day course and Adam Khoo told us about the real life story of Nick Vujicic who was born without arms and without legs. The doctors have no medical explanation for this kind of birth ‘defect’ so far. 

This is the picture of Nick Vujicic with his pet dog :

By looking at the picture, we can imagine the numerous challenges and obstacles that Nick Vujicic has been facing along the path of his life journey. He is the firstborn son of his parents who were not prepared for it. The doctors were shocked and there is still no medical reason why this had happened. Nick Vujicic’s brother and sister were born just like any other baby.

The birth defect didn’t stop Nick Vujicic from achieving the goals that he has set for himself. He has completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning and Accounting.

Nick Vujicic is a motivational speaker who loves to go out and shares his story and testimony wherever opportunities become available. He has developed talks to relate to and encourage students through topics that challenge today’s teenagers. Besides having a passion for reaching out to youth, Nick Vujicic is also a speaker in the corporate sector.

One of Nick Vujicic’s dreams is to write several best-selling books. The title of his very first book will be called ‘No Arms, No Legs, and No Worries!

Nick Vujicic believes that if one has the desire and passion to do something, one will achieve it in good time. Now, maybe we shall sit back and think of our goals and dreams which we have always targeted in our lives.

Here goes the saying :

 Nothing is impossible!

So, whenever we feel life is tough or a particular task is very hard, we shall read Nick Vujicic’s real-life story again and think calmly to search for a new way to solve the problem.

The One – The Great Love Song Worth Listening To Over And Over Again


I like this song entitled “THE ONE” which is sung by Elton John. This is indeed a very nice and great love song that worth listening to over and over again. I admit that I wasn’t the fan of Elton John until I listenend to “The One” song 14 years ago. 

I was in California doing a product transfer in 1994. My former company sent me there with a few of my ex-colleagues. They arranged apartments for us to stay. Each apartment had a dining hall and 2 bedrooms. My roommate and I occupied each bedroom so we had our own privacies.

I remember my roommate liked to stay inside her bedroom most of the time. For me, I would rather stay in the dining hall and watch TV programmes since I had nothing to do after work. I watched TV news, talk shows, movies, documentary and whatever programmes were shown on the TV until midnight.

I would turn on the radio in the morning before going to work and in the evening after coming back from work. I had noticed that many different radio stations liked to play Elton John’s “The One” song. This just shows that how popular this song was during that time. It must be a hit song of Elton John in 1994. 

When I first heard of “The One”, I really love this song very much. I cannot stop listening to “The One”. It still remains as one of my most favourite songs after 14 years. The music, the piano and Elton John’s great voice have made “The One” song one of the most enchanting love songs ever.

Listen to this beautiful love song which is also the soundtrack of the touching movie entitled “What Dreams May Come” — a 1998 dramatic film, starring Robin Williams, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Annabella Sciorra  :

I Want Nobody But You – The Wonder Girls


My friend, the GFF, has shared with me a newly released Korean MV featured by the “Wonder Girls” today. She finds that this video clip entitled “Nobody” is very catchy. Yes, I do agree with her after watching it. The video is rather funny and all I can say is that this is the Korean style of producing the MV.

The “Wonder Girls” team is made up of five young, lively and energetic ladies. The girls are teaming up with another popular Korean pop star cum producer called JYP inside the musical video. The MV has a mixture of old school and new school styles in it.

It is interesting to watch the Wonder Girls singing and dancing their way on the stage while JYP is sitting on the toilet bowl and is asking for help after he has found out that the toilet paper has run out. This scene is very comical and funny.

The song is sung in Korean but certain portions of the lyric are in English. I guess you might start singing the “Nobody” song after watching the video clip.

I want nobody nobody but you

I don’t like anybody else

If it’s not you, I don’t want it

I want nobody nobody nobody nobody

I want nobody body

By the way, the video clip has English subtitles. Don’t worry if you don’t understand Korean. Enjoy watching it.

Momoe Yamaguchi – My Favourite Artiste-Cum-Idol


Momoe Yamaguchi is my idol since I was a primary school student. She was one of the most popular Japanese artistes back then in the 1980s. In fact, she was a talented singer, actress and pop idol of Japan. Her career lasted from 1972 to 1980. I still like her after so many years since her retirement at a very young age, ie. at 21 years old. 

momoe-yamaguchi1                              momoe-yamaguchi2                              momoe-yamaguchi3

Momoe Yamaguchi (or Shan Kou Bai Hui in Chinese) was born 17 January 1959 in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. She was left in the care of her maternal grandparents not long after she was born. She was then returned to her parents at around 4 years old. 

I read about some articles in the newspapers and magazines reporting that her father was an irresponsible man. He left the family when Momoe Yamaguchi was still a little girl. Her mother had then become a single parent to her two daughters, Momoe and her little sister Toshie. The family moved to Yokosuka where they would stay until Momoe rose to stardom. It is the place she considers home.

Momoe Yamaguchi was very famous in the 1980s and secured her legacy by bowing out of the entertainment business at the peak of her career to marry her frequent co-star cum fellow actor Tomokazu Miura. I believe Momoe really loves this man vey much. Otherwise, she would not have to quit the show business during the peak of her singing and acting career. I think retiring at the age of 21 years old is just too young to waste her youth.

I still like to listen to Momoe Yamaguchi’s songs and watch her movies very much despite I don’t understand Japanese. I like her low, rich, powerful and kind of husky voice. I also like her melancholical eyes which are very attractive.

Here is a video clip of Momoe Yamaguchi singing her popular song called COSMOS live. Look at Momoe, how young she was before calling a day for her singing and acting career. 

Money Cannot Buy Love Or Even Friendship


Like I have mentioned in my opening post of this personal Blog before, I have three Blogs altogether. Someone has left a comment in my monetizing Blog four months ago but I have yet to approve or delete it. It is still awaiting moderation. The reader who has commented might be thinking that I’m ignoring his/her comment totally. This is not true if he/she has this thinking. Really, it isn’t true. 

So, what is holding me back from answering the reader’s or visitor’s comment then? Let us see the comment that was left inside the comment box of my other (monetization) Blog :

 Money cannot buy love or even friendship.

First of all, I have to agree with the reader’s comment. How true it is. This is a fact of life and nobody in this universe can ever change it or deny it. If you were very rich, you tend to have many people coming to you and claiming that they are your friends. 

If you were a successful businessman or a millionaire or a tycoon, many slim, sexy, beautiful or gorgeous ladies will be attracted to you. I guess most of these beautiful ladies won’t mind to become your mistress even if you are married. Likewise for an elderly wealthy lady, many young, sturdy, suave or handsome guys will chase after you and hope to become your lovers. This scenario looks so common nowadays as if ants are attracted to honey. 

Their intention is simple and none other, these people are going after the rich men’s and women’s money. For this instance, we can say that money can actually buy love although it is not true love.

What about friendship? I share the same view as the false love. The so-called friends will be flocking towards you if they know that you are very rich. In my opinion, you can tell who the real friends are only when you need help or when you are in trouble. Sad to say that there are just too few around. Those friends who lend you a helping hand are the true friends. As the saying goes :

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Perhaps you might understand by now how difficult it is to answer the comment as left in the comment box by my reader in my other Blog. It just depends on which angle you are looking at money. Some people say money is not everything. Yes, I do agree with it. However, to me, everything is money. Everything needs money. We all do work very hard for money to make ends meet, don’t we?

Viral video usually goes through the process of internet sharing such as blogs, emails, IM messages and all sorts of media sharing websites.

Viral video is mostly humourous in nature and that is why it draws the interest of most people to watch it. The viewers will usually forward the email that is inserted with a viral video link to their friends and families. If the friends and families find the viral video interesting, they will most likely be forwarding the email to their own groups of friends, colleagues, families, etc. to spread the joy after watching the funny or humourous viral videos. You will find that it is not really difficult to help put a smile on someone’s face after watching some light-hearted videos.
