Synchronicity 3

I visit Joo Hock at his salon sometimes, usually to discuss how we can make the Bucky Group session more effective. In this instance, I was there to collect my projector, as the Group has now bought its own. The introduction of the projector was a great leap forward as we now have documentary videos and music for our sessions.

During the chat, he mentioned the book,"The Tipping Point", by Malcolm Gladwell to create an experiential workshop. Actually it was the wrong book, as I'm reading "Blink!", also by Gladwell. Then further in our chat he mentioned about Ms Jean Tan (a famous businesswoman in Singapore, not her real name) and how they may be working together. As I am helping a friend to look for a boutique franchisee in Singapore, I asked if she would be interested to invest. "Possible, ask her", Joo Hock said.

Our chat lasted an hour and soon it was time to meet up with my friend Francis at a nearby pub. When I reached there, Francis has a friend with him and she was reading the book (surprise surprise!) "The Tipping Point". A few minutes into the conversation, I was interrupted by an sms from another of my friend Irene. In it, she said that she could introduce Jean Tan to me regarding the franchising opportunity.

On the way home in the taxi, I thought I should be eating out less and cooking more at home. I do sometimes use the steamer, to steam sweet potatoes, corn and carrots. Good healthy stuff. I thought it would also be nice to have a slow cooker crockpot that can cook soup. So that I can just put the ingredients in the pot in the morning and get soup in the evening, without much tedium.

Incidentally, in the next evening, I found a discarded crockpot downstairs. It was in good condition complete with the paper wrapping. People here are wasteful. There are many times when I picked up useful household items thrown away by the residents.

Yesterday, I asked someone to read Vacuum State. She agreed and told me she too have a blog called "Vacuum". Ha ha!

The moral of the story here is, "Be careful with what you think, for it may even come true!"

So have beautiful thoughts and get set for a beautiful day! It's all in the mind! :)
