Dear Diary,

So today I'm sitting at this hawker center bored out of my mind. As I was flipping my magazine, I couldn't help but think that I'm almost 37. Jesus Christ man. Almost fucking 40 and I have no career to speak of.

At this moment in thought, there was this article on the magazine about hypnosis. It's about self-hypnosis.

Self-hypnosis is which a person hypnotizes himself without the assistance of another person to serve as the hypnotics. Pros of hypnosis; Self-discipline, positive thinking, self assured, bad habits and a long lists of much more.

'I'm gonna to do it ' I thought, since there was simple instruction given. Just then there this middle age lady who order a drink and happen to sit besides me.

I cracked my neck and whispered to myself: "I try on her first" and then I slowly read the instruction on the magazine.

I looked up and we made eye contact just before drink arrives.

"I'm....sorry.." I said in a robotic tone, "but...I see you somewhere before."

She look confuse and reply, “Is it?”

And then I told her to close her eye and think.

I said, “Lose your eyes and try to empty your mind.” Oh ya..I was trying to hypnotic her now.

“Take slow, deep breaths. When you exhale, see the tension and negativity leaving in a dark cloud. As you inhale, see the air returning as a bright force filled with life and energy.” I told her in a mind tone.

“Appreciate the fact that you are now extremely relaxed” As I said this, I notice her her did exactly the way I ask her.

Feeling excited I added on,” Tell yourself that you are going to count down from 10. Picture each number in your mind in detail. After each number, you will feel yourself drifting further and further into your subconscious mind.”

“Take slow, deep breaths” I continue,...

“Appreciate the fact that you are now extremely relaxed.”

“You are now in a deeply impressionable state”

“When you are satisfied, say to yourself that the man sitting beside you is your brother.”

“Once you have ready, give yourself a few moments before opening your eyes”

Then she open her eyes and observe me. “My brother” was the first word she said.

Wow,...I thought to myself “Si buay powerful my hypnosis hor”

Slowly she took a booklet from her handbag and she continue, “In my church everybody are my brothers and sisters.”. She slip the booklet into my hand with a gentle smile, lean toward me and explain she insist that I should join her for church services this coming Sunday.

“Hallelujah” was the only word came out from my mouth.
I don't know to laugh or to cry.

Nevertheless I thank her for the invitation before I bid her goodbye.
