Elle Wong at T. Harv Eker's Millionaire Mind Intensive
The recent Millionaire Mind Intensive was held at The Mines Exhibition Convention Center, Malaysia on 12-14th June 2009. This was a wealth seminar by T. Harv Eker, who’s author of No.1 National Best Selling, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind.
I attended this seminar with zero expectation and by the end of it, I have 3 words: “Absolutely Mind-Blowing!”
Millionaire Mind Transformation
T. Harv Eker has surprised me to infinite levels deep. Never before had I thought I needed to confront myself the way I needed too. I thought I had the absolute mindset and attitude to wealth and riches. I thought I had it all going and remained faithful to my goal of being a Millionaire by the age of 25. But boy, I was so wrong and in the end, I realized I was simply ‘just’ thinking too much!
For those of you who know me, you would have probably have the impression that I have it all going for me and Elle Wong is certainly on her way to success and freedom. But through MMI, I discovered I had a sightless weakness that had been holding me back from performing at my peak potential. I had Fear.
Conquering Fear
My fears had blinded me all a long. I feared losing. I feared losing everything and having to start all over and it was fear that led me to procrastination.
I had been spending too much time trying to ‘get-ready’. I had been searching for the perfect moment to give my 100% with the right opportunity. I wanted it to be perfect because I did not want to lose my investment money nor time. I wanted to prove myself and I was trying to make sure that once I hit it, it was just gonna be ‘perfect’. But now I realize, those were merely illusions playing my mind to stop me!
It’s only been 3 days and I have ‘experienced’ the transformation. This course has lived up to its name. Millionaire Mind Intensive! Oh yeah, intense it was and life changing indeed. I have conquered myself and I am finally ready to move on to being in action in the battle field. Then again, they say, talk is cheap. So let’s see

- Team Corezone-BUFF
It was a sunny bright morning. Everyone was exciting. Team Corezone-BUFF was gearing up with their gels and bars. The other teams were also getting ready. Friends came to support and wished us good luck.
As I was paddling to the start of our race lane with the team, I suddenly felt butterflies in my stomach. It’s been a while since I participated in a competitive event, more so it was dragonboat, which I have never done before!
The referee shouted from his microphone, “Ready Ladies, Attention, GO!” We digged in deep and we felt our boat charging off at the start of the racing line. It felt like we had a bit of a lead for the first 50ms. It was very close with the other girls.
Coming to the 100m, I saw started to notice the dragonhead on my left passing by. Holy crap I told myself. Lol! But I kept paddling and paddling. Then another 100 m or so, I started to see the red team coming after us on the right. Holy crap again!
I was huffin and puffin with the other girls! I kept digging and digging but I was also slipping and slipping off my seat. Very soon before I knew it, the race was over.
We finished in 4th! 4 seconds too late to bring home a medal! But hey… the shocking news was, we finished off with 3.00minutes! That’s 15 seconds faster than our best practice time!
Though, we left the race course with a little pinch in our stomachs like “damn it! I could have given a little bit more to finish 4 seconds earlier” but hey, I thought it was one awesome experience we left off with. We’ll do better next year girls!

Yesterday was my final team practice for the upcoming Putrajaya International Dragonboat Festival 2009. It is the first time Putrajaya is having this international event and I feel an outburst of energy about it! My team Corezone-BUFF have been training every fortnight over the past many weekends . We all started with zilch knowledge and experience for this activity. I remember how cacat (handicapped) we looked about 8-10weeks ago. Not only did we row awkwardly while huffin’ and puffin’, we were most definitely not in sync as a team. Thinking back, it has been quite a team journey.
For the dragonboat sport, the secret is to get your entire team paddling and propelling at the same time. It doesn’t matter if you’re a power and strong rower. Team work definitely makes the magic work with dragonboat. Today our rowing efforts are definitely more synchronized. I actually feel rather proud of how far we’ve come
Yesterday was a fantastic practice. Great team effort. We had the best time record ever from our fortnightly practice – 500 metres, 3:15 minutes . I am not sure how we stand among the other teams, but it felt like good timing for an absolute amateur team!
We’ll be racing with 5 other teams which makes a total of 6 boats for our category.
1 Pos Malaysia
2 Team Splash
3 Pacific West Foods (M) Sdn Bhd
4 Team CorezoneBUFF
5 Team Venus-Get Active
6 Skrine Dragon KL
