Someone who faced death multiple times, get knocked down by huge blows, and really ONE of the lucky ones who is still fighting to survive & give back. When WORLDZ Founder Michael Crossland was 11 months old, he was diagnosed with an incurable cancer of the central nervous system. His mom was told he would only live a few more months.
Not even once feeling like a victim, wasting no time for self pity, defying all odds from "medical/ sport experts" telling him he can't.
Because when someone tells you you can't, they are referring to their own limitations, not yours!
If you are feeling very low & pain from difficulties & losses, watch this & be lifted again!
Be GRATEFUL you woke up this morning because some people didn't.

The Worst Prison
Dear readers,
Here's an empowering video that could change your life... right now.
You could have imprisoned longer than you deserve to be.
If it had caused you so much pain to hold on to it & replaying all the hurt you felt, why not let the pain go & focus on the good things that had happened for you, not against you?
Sometimes, it's not that it turned out bad. We have to focus on what we can do, not what we cannot control. Circumstances may push you into thinking you have no way out, perhaps its godly timing to take a step back and take new actions.
Remember, you are LOVED. Always by God who is watching over you & He has splendid plans laid out and all these are part of his plans. He has the final say.
WATCH THIS VIDEO.
FREE YOURSELF NOW.
It's incredible how struggle, pain, tough challenges can either break you down or allow you to rebuild everything.

Here's an empowering video that could change your life... right now.
The worst prison in this world is not the physical one, its the mental one - ALL INSIDE YOUR HEAD.

It's incredible how struggle, pain, tough challenges can either break you down or allow you to rebuild everything.
Strength in the gym is developed through constantly & consistently pushing your physical (& mental) limits. Till your muscles scream & say stop & everybody around you start quitting & you are still breaking new limits & carrying heavier weights day by day, testing ur current limits, and YOU WENT TO THE NEXT LEVEL! This is mind blowing.
KEEP PUSHING.

10 Years
3 more months, it will be my 10th year anniversary pursuing passion in beauty industry!
Wow 😲incredible.... looking back at 2008-2018, never regretted this decision where I bade goodbye to counting money算账💰 and switched to painting faces🎨.
Wow 😲incredible.... looking back at 2008-2018, never regretted this decision where I bade goodbye to counting money算账💰 and switched to painting faces🎨.
Started with zero income, maximum humility, passion fuel, inevitable fear, limitless hope... the world can be cruel with their opinions & attempts to kill ur dreams & spirit, opposing parents to my iron rice bowl & close friends disbelief, ego at stake. I learnt to be less logical & cancel judgements and consciously choose to follow my heart. The issue with following ur heart is u get hurt by people sometimes, quite badly. U break apart into tears in front of ur very close ones, but mostly u cry alone. Wipe away those tears & get back up again. Like a fighter, #muhammedali #michaeljordan, u fight harder with all u got.
It’s either now or never.
All or nothing attitude & keep moving.
Because life is full of lessons.
U either learn & grow or stay & suffer.
I would rather use all my energies to keep sharpening myself while helping those on same journey of life and we become what God created us to be.

While following your heart.
Your heart knows the direction.

Mary Kay Singapore's 1st ESSD!
ESSD Success Story (www.marykay.com.sg website featured story)
Because of a lipstick, I walked into Mary Kay world.
Overworked & lost, I resigned from Ernst & Young Audit Supervisor job to follow my dreams. I joined Sephora as their Chief Trainer travelling to Paris & Asia Pacific for 4 years. Much a workaholic with no life, I went freelance as a professional makeup artist. Entrepreneurship was lonely with competitors & no mentors. I chanced upon Mary Kay through a popular beauty magazine & attended my mentor's fun skincare class. I fell in love with its unique go-give culture & started conducting my own small classes after MK trainings! In 8 months, I debuted as a sales director, picking up leadership skills & earning free trips including Dallas, Hongkong, Hangzhou. Duplicating Mary Kay simple system, I helped Mary Kay produce 5 wonderful sales directors (they achieved it with their vision & commitment!) & even earned Mary Kay Singapore's 1st Pink Office in town & Singapore's 1st director to achieve Top Director's Trip to dream destination Budapest Hungary with my amazing unit leaders' performance! Today I also became Singapore's 1st Independent Executive Senior Sales Director, enjoying an increasing 5-figure monthly income. Time & Financial freedom used to be delusive & I'm now living my dream. Yet, the biggest paycheck is the paycheck from the heart. When a beauty consultant sends me her updates of how she shared the dreams, helped another woman look beautiful, when a customer excitedly texts me to share her skin improvements & happiness, that's true satisfaction money cannot buy. I live for that!
My life motto: Dream BIG & GIVE more!
~ Love, Gel

你决定了吗？
我收起我的会计大学毕业书，辞去我的Ernst&Young资深审查师的职位，坚决选择passion在完全新的职场《美容》Sephora！在爸妈快被气疯的当儿，我把💰💵塞在他们的口袋。他们惊讶，我竟然这么快可以做到。不要乱花钱，就可以了。😂
我改变的勇气来自于内心期待～ 过着美好豪华的未来⛴🏠🏡🏌
。
我很欣慰我有很优秀的恩师们一路走来，从2002在audit时到现在2016，我感恩每一个爱我疼我教我骂我对我严厉对我耐心对我点醒指导，对我爱护的生命老师们。。我不断的要求自己要上进，更新，赶上社会的千变万化。我习惯英语而华语不好👎，还是忍着学着。
没有不可能，是你想不想要。
我用一年从0经验的化妆师成为Sephora Paris 的亚洲主培训师，离开Sephora University，用了8个月当上MARY KAY督导2013，开始有美丽，有生活，有快乐的玫琳凯事业！今天，我在全Mary Kay Singapore最高的职位 ～ 执行业务督导 (Executive Senior Sales Director), 团队最大规模的 #QueenofEaglesFamily
在这个经济不景气、非常实际国家，世界生活水平超高的新加坡，改变步伐非常快速，Gel竟然可以做到。
这一切证明了～没有不可能，是你够不够想要，选择对的平台环境学习，愿意放下自己，相信公司，你也可以！
我要传承，做你生命中那个启发你的梦想的恩师，我要能够给你一个能实现梦想的平台，借力引领你的潜能。
但，你决定了吗？
你想要，就PM我喝茶！我免费为你规划你的5年人生。
我一个恩师曾告诉我说，”你现在的人生就是你5年前的决定。”
👸🏻👸🏻👸🏻女王的人生有你主宰! 今天开始！
Join my exploding #QueenofEaglesFamily!!! We all welcome U! (真的写了正个早上！）

I started on my Invisalign Journey to Perfect Smile!
"I have My Chanel Bag in My Mouth!"
I love to smile & they always say my smile can light up the darkest places.
Until watching THE global makeup video I 📷filmed on E! Entertainment for Sephora, i made up my mind! And so my #Invisalign journey began~
I didn't choose #veneers cos that's too shortcut!
{Traditional braces vs Invisalign}
I easily chose Invisalign for 3 main reasons:
1) Avoid ulcers
2) Image: Look less like an adolescent
3) Won't get veggies stuck in between
During mealtimes, I must remove my "aligners" (retainers alike) before I can eat. Initially it was such a disruptive new thing in my snack-loving life. Optimum wear 22 hours but I still scrape through daily with 18hours! Now I'm so used to it, part of me.
👑👸🏻Beauty Bonus: My face became slimmer O! Haha
And yes 1 more year to go!

Bangkok Travel Diary
Love Bangkok for the cheap everything hahahaha ;p
Bangkok had always been an awesome getaway for Singaporeans cos of its low priced everything & 2.5hours flight away!
Cool ambience I love it!
Spent 3 full days in Bangkok to
Eat
Shop
Sleep
Repeat
10 foods you must eat at Bangkok:
1. Annette Ice cream sticks just outside Platinum Mall!
2. Ice Manias at Union Mall
I chose the green tea rum raisin chocolate chips chocolate sauce combo!
Minus the choco chips, everything is perfect!
3. Mango Tango @Siam Square Soi 3
We had a full dinner after Ban Khum Mae & headed over for this refreshing heaven!
It's packed with people although it's quite late already.
4. Hello Kitty Sanrio Cafe @Siam Square One
Waffles & ice creams! Plus everything pink!
5. After You Cafe
(Siam Square One)
The hottest coolest hangout place seen here really popular for couples, friends & family & u gotta go early to queue!
But it's not too long a wait.
The Shibuya honey toast with ur chosen toppings are well worth the wait!
Crispy on outside soft moist inside.
And the servings are very generous with 2 scoops of ice cream. Great for two to share!
6. Crabmeat wonton noodles
(At a roadside stall, at Thong Lo station outside Soi 38)
Bangkok is famous with its roadside stalls & this crabmeat wonton Mee is my first! It is surprising easy to love with the fresh crabmeat & egg! The noodles portion is very small. Suggest to eat this for high tea snack time!
This one we found just by walking the streets outside Union Mall & was served by this Thai Chinese family who are really hospitable & friendly. Generous portions of 6 wontons, lean pieces of char siew & again the noodles are soft & can be finished in 1 mouthful if ur mouth is big! Haha
7. Ban Khun Mae
(At Siam Square Soi 3)
It's a huge restaurant & a lot of Singaporeans know this I guess. Cos we met many inside.
The prices are very affordable & that HUGE fish is only S$14.65 (360baht) & I had so much happy moments savoring the whole of it to the last bits of bones, not sparing even the cheek flesh my fave!
And the other fave is the fried mushroom! Oh my god! I could eat this everyday!!!
Gotta try!
We had the chef recommendation chicken satay too. It's kinda too much for me cos my tummy filled with fish.
But the flesh is tender & char grilled to just nice.
Don't like the sauteed kangkong (spinach they call it) as the plate is mainly stalks rather than leaves.
8. Fried rice with Juicy Shrimps
(Centara watergate hotel plaza top level)
I like my fried rice kinda moist & soft & this is just right!
Cleared the whole plate, what do u think?
Plus there was Kpop dance practice by the school girls as side entertainment ;)
9. Lee Cafe
(Suvarnabhumi Airport)
This is a restaurant of over 30years & served international food from western to Thai to Chinese.
Couldn't resist the Tom yum goong lobster & it's soo worth it!! For its price S$14, definitely more than thumbs up!
The lobsters are huge & the soup I'm missing it now! Not too spicy & we finished till the last drop! 
10. Fresh Coconut
What's Bangkok without coconut & Phad Thai?
And it's the scorching heat u wanna combat with this coconut!
Browsing the past trends that still remain current!
