Await the Answer
As I’m sitting down in front of my computer, listening to slow piano pieces, many thoughts came into my mind. It leads to a topic I would like to write and dedicate to a friend of mine, Awaiting for the perfect Answer.
It’s an awesome Sunday, I spent it lazing around the house to get proper rest. As you know, my work schedule has been hectic for me. Actually I’m just a very homely person, to just laze around the house and wiggle under my blanket. Especially after a Sunday swim, it started to rain cats and dogs, the coolness made it even better. And best of all, I got few of my friends to come over for movie, and a dinner. It’s kinda great to have friends like them, we can be serious yet very funny.
In life, as we grew older, our social circle might expand, but close friends will only remain a handful. That’s when we settled for what holds us together, and we can actually be satisfied with just them around. In good times or bad times, we support each other regardless of what happens. You will know if one of us got into problems in life, we can always depend to share with them.
We all have our each unique and individual life to live. Each moment past is a living history and a legendary story of ours to be kept. It goes the same for the people we meet, it comes and goes everyday. Problems and arguments arise out of the blue, and things aren’t as simple as just getting into a relationship, date, married, and lived happily ever after.
We’ve all been through tough times with our loved ones, some can be rough, some can be small, but it’s all that aftermath we need to go through that’s depressing. Many times when things get unsettled, our hearts go unsettled as well. The things we were so concentrated on, suddenly dismissed like the wind. We lost our directions, our everyday mood, maybe, sometimes even ourselves.
When it comes to the part where one has to be the first to speak up, it takes whole lots of courage to start the topic. Most of the time it’s like becoming the ‘bad person’, but choices has to be made, and choices as we all know, are harsh. And till the end, we all waited.. for the final verdict, the final answer.
As we waited for the answer, that particular moment is always heartbreaking. Because we knew the next day on, life will be different , things aren’t gonna be the same again. That moment, you just want to pause the time and give each other that one last hug. But we all knew time don’t goes like this, by pausing.
Life don’t just let you check-in into someone’s life and simply just check-out. It just don’t play it this way.
Don’t give up, till the last breathe is. We all have very unique ability to feel each other, be it the mood, the charisma, or the heart. If we know that person can make us happy, stick to the hold. No one owe us life, it goes down to our basic human needs, to self-satisfy ourselves before others. Love yourself, then love others.
To how long it might takes to know the answer or the result, stick to the choice. Life might be short, and there’s only one, but don’t go wasting it on things that doesn’t makes our lives excited and joyous to look forward everyday. If that person can be give you that, no matter what happens, don’t miss the opportunity. Some things only come once, if you miss the boat, you might have to wait a long while before finding a similiar one, maybe never.
Just await the answer if you are waiting for one now, regardless is for a cool off period, a yes to relationship, a yes to marriage, a yes to have a baby, or those many yes out there which will transform your world into an exceptionally beautiful world, just wait. I always believe in miracle, like I believe in God.
I hope you have a wonderful read, and thank you very much for reading.
Till then, Cheers!

To all Answers.. just wait, miracle do exists,
Finding Happiness
In the mist of things we do, there comes a time when we were exhausted and tired; physically and mentally. As we cried and get emotional over these, we tends to forget what and how happiness felt like. It’s like a baby crying over his broken toy, and forgotten about the love his parent gave, and the new toys he could receive even more.
There are so many similar things out there in the world we could all relate to. Having to find happiness is something intangible, but only to be felt by our hearts deep within. It is actually a very simple feeling of having to really forget all worries, and stress given by our surrounding. And just smile, laugh at that moment, is simply the joy we humans can have, and truly enjoy.
But as we stepped into this world with all the propaganda and social media stress, it brings lots of pressure to satisfy ourselves and our loved ones around us. To such a point that uncertain situations occur and anger came into the beautiful picture we’ve painted for so long. It leads our mood to be changed by even the slightest error one of us made.
As we step back one step to look closer at it, we could really see a different result with a different approach in things. Finding happiness can be easy, by simply looking at things with a more positive point of view. Even with a small twitch in the view, happiness can be easily achieved. We just have to help each and other to get along peacefully and more lovingly.
We have 24 hours in our hands, one life to live, each day is a unique day, and each moment that went past will never comes back. Life isn’t that simple to just press a rewind button, and things get back to what it once be. Even if technology in the future enables it, the memory we set for ourselves can never be rewind.
I’m always telling myself to wake up with a mood I would enjoy for that day. I can always choose the alternative, of being unhappy, and torture my whole day feeling heavy in my heart, and worst still, infect the people around me with that unhappiness I’ve chosen for myself. Or I could really be happy with myself, regardless of things happening in my life, and just look at things that would make me happy, looking forward to them more in life.
There are so much things existing around us that could brings the smile on our faces, the happiness in our heart to shine. All we need to do is to observe all happy moments happening around us, celebrate for them even if it’s not ours. For what goes around, comes around, happiness will definitely finds you when you feel happy for others. I will usually smile to myself when I see small childrens laughing happily without worries when they get treats from their parents. Or walking behind old couples holding their hands while walking, such beautiful scene I would imagine I’d do with my old partner. These are just some simple things I’ll observe as I walk my day outside.
Finding happiness isn’t all about others, it is always about how you perceive your own life. Every one of us has a different meaning of finding happiness, and the true answer can only be answered by ourselves. Once we set ourselves to see things in a more positive view, things will definitely, I promised you, become even more beautiful and life will have lesser unhappy memories. So from now on, go on and find your own happiness, remember you only have one life, live it to its’ fullest, happiest!

To you, Finding Happiness,
A Knife Behind
“As the sky darken and the evening breeze cools the air, a shapen knife was reflecting the moonlight shining brightly up in the air. As Fredick was walking down the bridge, a painful stab was on his back. He couldn’t turn around, it was too painful and torturing. When he was about to stumble onto the floor, at the side of his sight he glanced, he saw a familiar face smiling. It was all along someone he thought he could trust, betrayal now starts, it might be too late for him. He collasped..“
Many times we encounter stories like this, be it on the screen, someone we know or even personal experiences. As each of us get into this cruel real world, there tends to have people we known who hid their knife from us. In fact all of us have our own individual knife, but to use it for the good or bad, it always depend on its’ user.
Looking into our surrounding, take the time to observe how people react in front of you, and talking about others. Time and time again we were told from young to stay away from gossips and rumors, but as a human, it is very natural to be curious in many things. Who can resist irresistable secrets fresh out from the oven when it is display directly at your face? This is when our true moral values came into play.
I know of so many people who really condemn and talk bad about friends/colleagues, yet in front of these so-called ‘friends/colleagues’, they act really friendly and smiley. Now, how many people can really relate that in your life? I bet most of the people who have been in schools, work, or even among relatives can experience this.
Sometimes part and parcel of our social lives, we tends to group together and talk about certain topics, and eventually some joker will start the ritual of knifing.
“Cursing one is always much easier than complimenting one.“
No one can be perfect. Somehow, somewhere in our lives we all knew we hold knife in our hands before. But are you one who dislike a person, and yet act as if nothing is going on, continue wearing that fake friendliness and smile. Or the one who use your own method to dislike and ignore that person? I hope you’re the latter, else you’ll be no different from the stabber in the story.
Here’s some tips to avoid being the one holding a knife behind:
- Avoid bad gossips and rumors, especially one which will ruin reputation of others
- If you’re unable to avoid, DON’T add in anymore fuel to the fire. For example to say even more bad things on that person. It does both parties no good, you’ll only prolong the gossips and rumors, and thanks to your mouth, that person have one more things for people to stab.
- Clear all negative doubts on that person. Trust first, then decide, depending whether to continue your trust. Don’t assume you know the true story or meaning behind that person, unless you’ve talk to him/her personally.
- Think of what goes around, comes around. Do you think it is worth it for you to do the stabbing, and been found out, and what’s your reputation going to be? A forever labelled Backstabber for life.
- What can you get out from it? More fame? Higher chance of getting promoted? Friends worship you because of your bravery to stab others?
- How you do anything, is how you do everything in life. Think about how much respect can you give yourself in time to come when you discover yourself.
In my conclusion, I would like to say that this world can be cruel or beautiful in ways of how you look at it. I hope this post can help you look at life in a different perspective and regain your true self by not doing things that will harm others.
Life will never be complete if you satisfy yourself, it will be complete when you help others and share their happiness together with yours. -smileatchris ©

Choices Of Love
How has everybody been doing? As this month of Love, February comes to an end, I would like to take this chance to say ‘I Love You’ to my lovely people who have made an impact in my life.
Sometimes words not said out loud does not means we don’t care, it might means that the way we expressed ourselves are different. Regardless whichever language we use, we know for ourselves deep in our heart, we truly meant to declare our love towards our loved ones.
There are many difficult choices every single day, choices between two things, from breakfast, to studies, to work, to relationships, to our mood or even believing in ourselves. We all know that our daily lives consist of many choices to make, then to move forward with the choice we chose. Be it what’s the result and outcome, we have to stick and make the best out of it.
At that point in time, I’m sure the choices we made is the best we could choose, over the latter. Now the question comes, how can we know we make the right choice? The answer is none. There’s no right or wrong in the choices we made. Right or wrong are all perspective made up by ourselves and the society around us. Given any scenerio, tunning the right mindset towards it is the best solution; be it negative or positive the outcome is.
Like I said, we all made choices at that moment where we think it is the most beneficial to us. I remember watching this U.S. tv series ‘The Walking Dead’, one of the main character had to injure his friend to delay the time for his escape, resulting in his friend’s death for his own survival. If he did not do that, the both of them might not make it out alive. It was a matter of split second for choices like this to decide.
As I go through the series even further, it leads to a lesson I learnt. In order for things to move forward, tough decisions have to be made. There’s no sitting on the fence, only to choose one or another. And most of the time, the things we were given to decide usually were things that really matters to us. Some can be of a win-win situation, while others will have to win one, and lose the other.
Making the best out of what we chose, and live life to its’ fullest because of it. There’s only one life, make the choice that will benefit us in a long run. Certain things will only benefit for short term, but in life it’s all about having the best we could wish for.
What I felt is, just do the things we’ll be happy, do the things we won’t regret, do it because of how our hearts tell us to. Believe the choices we made and things will be even more beautiful, happier.
Have you decide to live the fullest with your choices?

To our Choices of Love,
One Hour A Day
It’s been a rainy and cooling day/night in Singapore, the monsoon season seems to be rewarding our tiring bodies each night.
It has been a mind-crackling week, I took time off my busy schedule to work on ideas to improve this blog, enhancing my online biz, and spent time on investment’s videos.
As I work on the things mentioned, I believe strongly in this, which is to “Invest One Power Hour A Day”. This might sounds easy, but it really takes one determination to work hard on it. And while doing all those mentioned, I practice this “Invest One Power Hour A Day” daily.
What does this “Invest One Power Hour A Day” means?
It simply means to work extremely hard for that particular hour to maximise whatever thing you want to accomplish, and the rest will be minor.
Some of the examples would be:
- Writing a blog post
- Reading a book
- Listening to an audio
- Doing prospecting calls/emails
- Making follow-ups
- Work on ideas for your business
You might also avoid these:
- Incoming calls/sms
- Emails
- Instant Messaging
- Website surfing
- and the list goes on..
We all have only 24hrs a day, 8hours to work(some more), 8hours to sleep, 8hours to travel and do our own things. If you simply just invest One Hour A Day to do something productive for your success, you will be able to see the result you want.
But I’m SO Busy everyday, I can’t even breathe..
I know this, this is called Excuses. Our minds are very easy to be contented when we come up with such excuses that simples put off any plans we had.
Here are some ways to practice using “Invest One Power Hour A Day” concept.
- Waking up One Hour earlier
- Sleeping One Hour later
- Watching less One Hour of TV
- Shortening One Hour of your mealbreaks, or doing both at the same time to maximize
- Reducing One Hour of happy hours beer
You can choose to put in 100% hardwork to build other people’s wealth, or you can choose to put in 100% hardwork to build your own wealth. It all goes down to how much success you hunger for.
It will be tiring, and sometimes demoralizing. But always look at the passion and why you seek success in the first place, things will start getting in place even before you notice them.
Like what the late Steve Jobs said:
Just go out and do it, the dots will connect themselves eventually.
There are so many things you can do with your One Hour if you want. If you are unsure of where and how your One Hour should be invested into, drop me an email and I’ll help you with it.
I have “Invest One Power Hour A Day” today.
Have you did yours? I would like to hear from you in my comments.

To Your One Hour A Day,
