Do you still remember when was the last time you went on stage to receive something?

I finally graduated with a Diploma in Information Technology from Singapore Polytechnic 3 days ago (Wednesday), after not studying-very-hard for 3 years. I must say it was ultra good experience. Not going to put my experience into a whole chunk of text but just a few keywords: friends, ict/smit club, sp photography club, lecture theatres, projects, events.

This graduation doesn’t mark an end to my education. Instead, its the start of another certification - bachelor. I’m really looking towards the start of university. Cant wait for the beginning of another journey!

Let me tell you why I signed up.

I make calls often over at Malaysia with Wi-Fi available. The call is very clear and I can talk to my girlfriend for up to an hour.I usually hang up when feel my ear turning warm.

And, let’s be honest, it’s free. I was offered free credits and subscription too, and that’s why I signed up! According to the site, I started using the service since 11th Apr 2007; it’s more than a year!.

Recently, I sent a fax over to Malaysia while at work, not having access to a physical fax machine. The fax just appeared well!

Are you sure it’s free?

I’m using it, and I’ve yet to pay a single cent.

Is it reliable?

pfingo was started by Starhub (SGX-ST), Singapore’s second largest info-communication company. What do you think?

I’m committed to help make my readers’ life better. Here’s some tips for those of you who can’t wake up on time. I practice them; it works for me.

1. Give yourself a mental command before you go to sleep.
   Let yourself know that you’re going to do something when you wake up. E.g. "I’m going to wake up at 6am and get out of bed immediately." Plant a mental command into your head before you sleep so you’ll be mentally alert when you’re awake.
2. Think of your one definite burning desire as soon as you wake up.
   What do you desire to do when you’re awake? Think of something that you must do when you’re awake; remind yourself that if you continue sleeping, that something won’t be done.
3. Smile.
   Yes, it seems silly. How can a smile help get you out of bed?For starters, you need to think of something to smile about. Think of something that you are grateful for in your life, and actually physically smile when you think of it.You can’t just think happy thoughts - that won’t do it. You will be amazed at how much the physical act of smiling will bring your mind into focus on your life, and also start to shake off the cobwebs of sleep. This has the added bonus of energetically setting yourself up to attract even more things to be grateful for, so you get two perks for the price of one by simply smiling like you mean it!
4. Think of your “want to do” list.
   Everyone has tasks they feel that they need to do each day, but in the grand scheme of things, you don’t “need” to do anything. Every single task that you accomplish in life is based on the fact that you want something.You get up and go to work because you want a paycheck. You get up and exercise because you want to be healthy, lose weight, or accomplish a fitness goal. You get up and help your family get ready for the day because you want them to be happy, or because it benefits you in some way to send them on their way.By thinking of how you will benefit from accomplishing your tasks, you not only make the entire process about your own desires, but you will also start your day with a positive attitude, rather than feeling like someone who is simply slaving away at life for the benefit of other people.
5. Think of the benefits that come from getting up and getting your day started.
   If you have a morning ritual that you enjoy or that brings an immediate benefit to you - and only you - think about how it will feel to get up and start enjoying that benefit.For me, my day starts around 5:15am, and includes 30 minutes of total quiet time with a cup of coffee and an enjoyable assessment of my personal and business accomplishments from the previous day. That 30-minute session is followed immediately by a total mind/body prosperity session while I run or briskly walk outdoors for 60 minutes.That entire 90-minute period is all about me, and rarely do I even interact with another human being accept for the occasional run in with a fellow early morning exerciser. By the time I am back home by 7:00am, I feel like a million bucks and I am fully energized to focus 100% on another day of personal and business accomplishments.
6. Plan your first “reward”.
   Other than the personal benefits that you get from accomplishing that first task or two after waking up, plan the first reward that you will give yourself for staying on track with your sleep schedule.I am a firm believer in people “giving back” to themselves after accomplishing goals or tasks, so as you are laying in bed trying to motivate yourself to get up, plan the first reward that you will get as a result of rolling out of bed and getting your day started.Maybe it is a mid-morning or afternoon nap, maybe it is a pleasant lunch with a friend or family member, or it could be something as simple as an hour of “play time” that you give yourself to do whatever you want to do. Make sure you stick to your integrity by not allowing yourself to have that reward unless you get out of bed on schedule!
7. Make a commitment to other people a part of your morning routine. If you have other members of your household who are counting on you to be up and focused by a certain time of day, that can help motivate you to get up and do exactly that.No one likes to feel like they let someone else down, and on that some note, most people like to feel wanted or needed. By making commitments to others that you can only accomplish by getting out of bed on time, you will be motivated to do exactly that.Caveat: Remember, though - it is imperative that you do things for other people because you want to. If it starts to feel like a chore, or that it is expected of you, it will actually have the opposite effect, causing you to feel like a worker, rather than a trusted friend, family member, or co-worker.
8. Put yourself on a schedule that is non-negotiable.
   Depending on what your morning routine is, there are very likely things that need to be done during a certain time frame, or it will cause stress or negativity in your life or in the lives of others. By locking your tasks into a certain block of time, you remove the luxury of possibly allowing yourself to sleep in.Again, using my early morning cardiovascular routine as an example, I have no choice but to do that within a very specific window of time. Summertime in northeast Florida means that the sun is fully up and blazing by 7:15am, and it is already 75-degrees (or more!) and very humid as well. If I am not pounding the pavement by 6:15am at the latest, I will not have 60 minutes to exercise before the sun becomes a debilitating factor.If you use this method of putting yourself on a schedule, make sure once again that you keep the right frame of mind. You put yourself on that schedule because of something that you wanted, not something that you had to do.
