What kinda lover am I?
The Steady
When it comes to your love life, you appreciate the romantic gifts: Roses, chocolates and other sweet surprises. But ultimately what touch your heart most are those intangible little gestures of love, like how he pays attention to your wants and needs, really listens to you and is always there to share your joys and tears.You're down-to-earth, and that's great because you don't expect the impossible from your partner or a fairy-tale relationship. Sure, you're super glad to have found someone to share your life with, but at the same time you need your own space too.Still, keep feeding your relationship with romance day after day and you can strengthen it even more: Give him a kiss, a cuddle and ask him how he's doing. Indulge in fancy dinner dates and surprise him with a Valentine card every now and then. The more attention you give to your relationship, the closer you'll become.
Is he Mr. Right?
You scored - 8/10
Congrats! You've found a real sweetheart whom you can trust, love and feel safe with. But you also realize that, alas, real life relationships aren't as simple as happily-ever-after fairy tales, and it takes lots of communication, trust, compromise and learning about each other to keep the love and passion going strong. Keep communicating, be encouraging and never take each other for granted. You look like you're made for each other – go for it!

Friends? What friends? I once thought I could depend and trust my FRIENDS. How many times have they failed me? I can't remember.. too many times.. too ugly. I don't dare say I'm the best friend people can have.. But whatever I promise, I deliver. If I can't, I'll make up to it.
Now? Maybe my dad's right all along. Maybe true friends don't exist in this materialistic world anymore. Friends nowadays know how to make use of each other. They call it MUTUAL BENEFIT. Nice term to use huh. I don't know.. but I don't think friends should be like that. I thought friends are suppose to share with each other their joy and sorrows. Why is it that I can't share my sorrows with others? What happened to my FRIENDS? Or maybe it's my own problem. [Seems like only counsellors lend me their ears..]
From now on, I'll face this world.. WITH OR WITHOUT THE SO-CALLED FRIENDS. Friends, I hope you don't feel hurt. Cos feeling hurt is not gonna help anyway right. I'm not demanding things from you guys. I just.. don't know what a true friend is anymore.
Are you my true friend?
Gee.. is that what growing up means? If it is, I'm telling you it sucks.

Hi there. I apologise for not updating earlier. Quite a lot's been going on and I'm a born procrastinator. Anyway, here I am.. let's get on.
My results?
You sure you're that interested to know? Well.. it's not all that pretty but I can live with it.
Uni
Yea, that's the part that gave me headaches. With my results.. I can't go too far up..But I don't really deserve to go all the way down [sorry if it sounds a bit cryptic] I'm just trying to say that I can't really qualify for those really good courses but my results really aren't all that bad. In the end, I've at least decided to make a clean break from sciences. I'm not too sure if what I'm doing is right. But I'll move on from here and make the best out of whatever comes my way. Special thanks to so many people who gave me their advice and stood by me when I felt lost and upset.
Love
I don't know what's happening to it but I guess it's still ok and I'm not complaining.
Blog
I searched over 4000 blogskins but could find one that's better. Oh.. and I've changed the songs.. These are my favourites. Life for rent is really a great song! And to that special someone who's not so sure if I'm the one for him, 'wherever you go, whatever you do, I'll be right here waiting for you'
I'm still feeling lost.. not knowing what I should do.. who should I be. Lots of questions with no answers. I still feel imprisoned after 18 years.. living life my way. [really appreciate that special someone who understands my situation and is patient with me]
As always, I'll take my optimism with me wherever I go, whatever I do.. hopefully everything will be ok =]
Love,
Jas

You Are a Witch (or Warlock) |
 You are deviously brilliant and a perfect manipulator. You somehow always end up getting what you want - without anyone knowing you're working behind the scenes. Crafty and cunning, you can work your way out of any jam. And it's easy for you to get people to do what you want, whether you're working for good or evil. Your greatest power: Mind control Your greatest weakness: Making people your puppets You play well with: Ghosts |

Your Dosha is Vata |
 Creative and restless, you take in all of life's pleasures (maybe a little too much!). You're quick witted and very talkative, but you also tend to have a spotty memory. You tend to get very into ideas, people, and lifestyles... but only for a short time. It's difficult to hold your attention, and you sometimes feel with what life has to offer. With friends: You are very uncomfortable in new situations or with new people In love: You fall in and out of love very easily To achieve more balance: Live in a warm climate and spend some quiet time in nature |
You are a Total Romantic |
 For you, love is like a fairy tale. Or magic. Or a Meg Ryan movie. Problem is, you sort of want all three. You bring the spark in the relationship In turn, you expect your guy to keep the fire burning Not a bad deal, as long as you find the right Prince. |
The Part of You That No One Sees |
 You are innocent, sweet, and young at heart. You present a purity that many people find appealing. However, you are often tired of people treating you like a child. Underneath it all, you enjoy being babied and pampered. You have been known to feign inexperience to get out of sticky situations. You fear getting old and losing your childlike charms. |
You Are a Boxer Puppy |
 Energetic, playful and good with kids. You've also got a wild spirit that can't be trained or tamed. |
Your Inner Child Is Naughty |
 Like a child, you tend to discount social rules. It's just too much fun to break the rules! You love trouble - and it seems that trouble loves you. And no matter what, you refuse to grow up! |
You Need Some Blue in Your Life |
 Blue will make you feel calm, intelligent, and confident. And with a little blue, you will project an aura of sincerity and loyalty. If you want wisdom, you've got to get a little blue in your life! For extra punch: Combine blue with brown or green The downside of blue: Blue can make you seem more conservative and reserved than you are The consequences of more blue in your life: You will feel more open to the world around you You will have a broader and richer perspective on life You will be able to find solitude, even in the most hectic times |
You Are a Good Friend Because You're Loyal |
 You stick with your friends no matter what, even if you feel like they're doing the wrong thing. You believe in letting people figure out their own path in life. It's not your place to interfere. And part of your loyalty means that you'll do a lot for your friends. You definitely go the extra mile. You'll even do great things for friends without them asking. After all, that's what friendship is all about. You are truly a friend for life. And you have friends you've known since you were a kid. Your friends can count on you to do a favor, remember a birthday, or just be there to listen. Your friends need you most when: They can't turn to anyone else You really can't be friends with: Fickle people who change friends quickly Your friendship quote: "Friendship doubles your joys, and divides your sorrows." |
You Should Learn Chinese |
 Surprised? You shouldn't be - Chinese is perfect for an ambitious person like you. You're a natural entrepreneur, and a billion people are waiting to do business with you! |
prob is.. I already learnt chinese?

Which Instrument are you?
Clarinet
You are quiet, reserved, but very creative. A lot of people don't seem to understand you because you have your own 'beat'. You enjoy both the light and dark side of life, and sometimes this comes off as a little creepy. You are sometimes too quiet, you need to learn to speak up!!! You are very intreperative and creative in your workplace/activities and tend to be a good follower. You often dislike confrontation and would rather just forget problems, as opposed to fighting or talking about them. You love to read and write, and love to look very 'Posh'. Although you are often misunderstood, you are undoubtably cool.

hi.. it's been a week.
I had a mini retreat [meaning.. off da com and off da phone.. basically, having my alone time because I'm consistently receiving stimuli from my external surrounding] Slept 12 hours on Saturday.. it felt great and I'm physically recharged.
I also did quite a bit of thinkin about how I want to lead my life, what I want to do with it.. how I want to relate to the people around me.. my worries, issues and concerns.. it's not sorted out yet. But I guess, it all takes time. Some day, some how.. I hope I will grow to become a better me. Someone I'm proud to be.

Hi people..
It's been quite some time, no? Today, I've enough energy to blog. Yes, I was really tired mentally, emotionally, physically-whatever. I had a good new year and things took an unexpected turn [for the good, I guess] I had a good outing with friends yesterday and =] I'm going to restart.. to rebuild everything. It's like a cycle. There will be times when I feel totally drained, when I can't move on the way I did.. I will start over. This time, I will have someone with me =] What's going to happen next? I don't know. But whatever comes, I shall face it with optimism and take the roller coaster ride.
Love,
Jas.

Hi darlings..
I'm doing tarot readings as my part time job. I mean, I'm quite good with tarot readings.. so you guys can ask me if you want them..

Tarot cards are not evil.
Tarot cards don't tell da future [as in, it's just a projected future. Can be changed depending on what you do next.]
Tarot cards are not dangerous.
I've got customers already =] so.. whether you want it or not depends on you..
Blessed be.
PS: you can call and tell me or email me at simpeijun89@hotmail.com [I only do local ones.. meaning for Singaporeans as of now]

ok.. let's talk about secondary life.. I guess those were the best years.. I was stressed but I wasn't stressed like till I wanna die. [at least I had time to play after school =D] In case you guys don't know, I was from XMS. There, I found my best friend, my nice gor, my best chinese teacher, my best buddies.. my best partner =]I took 10 subjects. It really wasn't v tough.. I loved everything I did. [can't understand why ppl don't like history. it's so interesting!] my results? uh.. it's not that I don't want to tell but some people might think that I'm proud or something. So, smart smart Jasmine now knows she can't just say everything she like. Ask if you're dying to know.. I will tell. hmm.. but I have results good enough to go any school ba. Sec 1-slack slack slack. =] well i can still remember the first day of school, meeting dorcas.. she looked really cool and aloof but she's a nice gal. it's da first year I see so many guys in da sch.. so yea, I had lotsa crushes =p but they were really just silly stuff and =] didn't really bother much about them. I joined band and I honestly honestly love flute [gg to buy one soon.] I love balance and through band, I learn about balancing..harmony, unity and lotsa nice things from various conductors. haha.. i remember the first camp and da seniors conducted a fire drill =_= but it was quite fun cos the SAJB peeps did it too. and you see a bunch of peeps at da parade sq all going 'what the hell?' and complaints rained in from neighbours da nxt morning. I love da games and da star gazing times.. it's really nice to lie at da parade sq there and look up at da starry sky [wanna do it again, sometime soon. hopefully there'd be one durin uni orientation and I'd invite peeps to come star gazin with moi!] I love band concerts too.. they're fun and exciting =] lotsa lotsa fun and well.. being leo, I love da stage. =p I love band practices.. they make me forget that I have lotsa homework waitin for me and I can just immerse myself and enjoy playing.. I love my flute tutor [I met her in CHS! but no, can't get her to teach me anymore.. cos I'm working. but I'd probably get scores from her to practice] even till now, I can remember what she once said- why give me rotten apples when you have good ones? [translate- why aren't you giving it your best shot? I know you can do so much better] yup, she's really encouraging and I love her lessons. Enough for today~ continues sec 2 life some time soon ;) tata!

Hihi. Back from another week of work. I guess working is fine though I feel that I'd need something more stimulating.. something I can put all my heart and soul into doing. One thing I learnt is that when you're working, you really gotta be 'professional', meaning, your emotions shouldn't come into the picture. I kinda respect deejays because they can still sound so cheerful even when they're having a lousy day.
It's not that I don't want to upload some nice pics of what I've been doing and my fav places. But I'm having some prob with blogger.. maybe some other time then =]
Well.. some of my closest buddies are in NS now. It's not the end of the world or anything.. I wasn't crying but I did feel a little sad maybe because I can't chat all I want with them anymore. But hey, life's gonna get better =] absence makes da hearts grow fonder =p
I can't say that I'm looking forward to getting my results. In fact, I feel really guilt-ridden because I think I haven't done my best and I truly hate accepting that I can't do well because I know I can do well.. sigh, no matter what I say now won't change anything anymore so.. I'm conditioning myself to prepare for the worse. If I can't go uni, I can always go poly or something. Life's more than just studying, no? Where there's a will, there's a way. Even if I totally suck at studying, I'm sure I can contribute and make a difference in someone's life =]

We show our love to those we care about by hugging and holding and stroking. We can be caring without speaking through touch. A touch can convey compassion, admiration, adoration..not merely just sexual interest. Touch sends a message of reassurance and support, intimacy (as a gentle stroking of the forearm, brush of the cheek), safety (as an arm around the shoulder) or relaxation (as a shoulder massage) among other feelings.
Touch is a powerful medium for communicating love and caring.
Touch reinforces and helps to establish the emotional and physical closeness, the bond we feel with one another. Holding hands, kissing, embracing, cuddling, snuggling, stroking, walking arm-in-arm, arms around each other's shoulders, arms around other's waists, are all ways of communicating emotional love to one's partner. All realtionships, be they a love realtionship or friendship are enhanced by gentle physical touch.
We have long known the emotional power that touch conveys. Studies have shown that babies who are held, hugged and kissed develop a healthier emotional life than those who are left for long periods of time without physical contact. Physical contact and reassurance make a stronger healthier relationship, not only with children, but also with adults. Touching lovingly is is reassuring, nurturing and strengthens our relationships and ourselves as persons. It also greatly can relieve stress, and improve our physical health.
Expressing Love through Touch
A touch may take time, or be short, similar to a whisper. A back rub takes time, but by placing your hand on your partner's shoulder as you pour a cup of coffee takes only a moment. Sitting close to each other on the couch as you watch television, requires no time, but may communicate your love loudly. Snuggling together sends messages of warmth and belonging, being loved and protected, giving security.
Touching your partner as you walk through the room where he/she is sitting takes only a moment, such as a gentle brush on a cheek, yet conveys affection, love and enouragement. Touching each other as you leave the house and when you return may be only a kiss or hug, but will speak volumes to your love, without saying a word.
Touch enhances a relationship.
A loving touch expresses love, warmth, caring. A soft physical touch can be a powerful language of love. No words are spoken, yet a communication of love is exchanged. Touch communicates silently from one to another: "I care about you" "I love you" "You are important to me" "I am here for you". Touch with your heart wide open.
Touch conveys so much using so little, and when combined with eye contact, a smile, a warm tone of voice, the impact is even greater, and has a magical quality all it's own. Even though that may not always be possible, sometimes it's simply the touch itself that has the magic.
By closing the space with your loved one, there is no room in that moment for disagreements or grudges--only acceptance, understanding, sympathy, love and caring.
Touch is a powerful medium for communicating love and caring.
Touch reinforces and helps to establish the emotional and physical closeness, the bond we feel with one another. Holding hands, kissing, embracing, cuddling, snuggling, stroking, walking arm-in-arm, arms around each other's shoulders, arms around other's waists, are all ways of communicating emotional love to one's partner. All realtionships, be they a love realtionship or friendship are enhanced by gentle physical touch.
We have long known the emotional power that touch conveys. Studies have shown that babies who are held, hugged and kissed develop a healthier emotional life than those who are left for long periods of time without physical contact. Physical contact and reassurance make a stronger healthier relationship, not only with children, but also with adults. Touching lovingly is is reassuring, nurturing and strengthens our relationships and ourselves as persons. It also greatly can relieve stress, and improve our physical health.
Expressing Love through Touch
A touch may take time, or be short, similar to a whisper. A back rub takes time, but by placing your hand on your partner's shoulder as you pour a cup of coffee takes only a moment. Sitting close to each other on the couch as you watch television, requires no time, but may communicate your love loudly. Snuggling together sends messages of warmth and belonging, being loved and protected, giving security.
Touching your partner as you walk through the room where he/she is sitting takes only a moment, such as a gentle brush on a cheek, yet conveys affection, love and enouragement. Touching each other as you leave the house and when you return may be only a kiss or hug, but will speak volumes to your love, without saying a word.
Touch enhances a relationship.
A loving touch expresses love, warmth, caring. A soft physical touch can be a powerful language of love. No words are spoken, yet a communication of love is exchanged. Touch communicates silently from one to another: "I care about you" "I love you" "You are important to me" "I am here for you". Touch with your heart wide open.
Touch conveys so much using so little, and when combined with eye contact, a smile, a warm tone of voice, the impact is even greater, and has a magical quality all it's own. Even though that may not always be possible, sometimes it's simply the touch itself that has the magic.
By closing the space with your loved one, there is no room in that moment for disagreements or grudges--only acceptance, understanding, sympathy, love and caring.
The Art [and science] of kissing
Kissing is a complex behavior that requires significant muscular coordination; in fact, a total of thirty four muscles working cooperatively. The most important muscle involved is the orbicularis oris muscle, which is used to pucker the lips and informally known as the kissing muscle. The tongue can also be an important part of the kiss. Lips have many nerve endings so they are sensitive to touch.
See? Kissing is such a wonderful exercise ^_^ *muacks
Intimacy
We all desire intimacy with another living soul, but we also fear it. None the less, we all continue to seek intimacy with another soul. Intimacy can spiritually bond two souls on the highest level. It has the ability to deepen the intrinsic union of two souls, building their relationship in a way that otherwise would be impossible to achieve. The secret to unlocking this potential is in the intention that the couple brings to intimacy. Their desire must be exemplary. To transform it into an expression of the soul, their heart's true desire, they must be focused with total concentration on connecting with their partner, making it an experience of pure giving. Intimacy rooted in love deepens the couple's relationship, creating a level of closeness that can only be described as complete connection. A joining of the mind, body and spirit. The bonding between the two is the key, not just the physical gratification. Trust is the backbone of intimacy. Without trust, intimacy cannot occur. If you focus on giving, on bringing fulfillment, love and joy to your partner, you and your partner will be fulfilled.
Intimacy is an expression of giving and connection, of love in it's most ultimate level. Communication and intimacy between partners takes place on various levels: Verbal, physical, emotional and also in the fullness of silence. We can sit in a room with our partner, feeling his or her presence, though we may each be engaged in separate activities. It's the ability to communicate with our partner without speaking, saying much with just a touch or a look. This kind of intimacy is a deep richer experience than the limitation of verbal, physical and emotional. Beyond physically being together in the same room is the quiet comfort of caring love which transcends time and space. In this we experience the fulfillment of the loved one even when separated, while acknowledging the emotion of missing the partner's physical presence.
In the physical aspect of intimacy, we encompass lesser intimate acts like holding hands as well as more intimate acts. You do not have to have a physical relationship with someone in order to be intimate with him or her. While physical intimacy is certainly a part of most romantic relationships, it is important to have emotional intimacy as well. Emotional intimacy involves sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with another person in an open and honest way. Intimacy has sexual connotations, but it is much more than that. It includes all the different dimensions of our lives -- the physical, but also the social, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects as well. Intimacy is total life sharing.
Physical intimacy in a loving committed relationship with its fusion of love, play, magic, ecstasy, is life celebrating life. This intimate communion of making love may reveal the divine mystery rather than just simply be pleasurable, entertaining sensations. What makes the difference is our intentions, our love, and the attitudes that we bring to this experience. If we hold a reverence for life, an awareness and respect of our mutual joining and individuality, we experience the other as none other than our very selves, the shared joy and intimacy of lovemaking is a spiritual meeting of the flesh and spirit, the joining of hearts and souls. The boundaries of a separate self can fall away and life is making love with life, intimately, together as one.

Be More Courageous
Aristotle believed, and I think correctly, that courage is the first of the human virtues, because it makes the others possible. Courage is the ability to exercise your free will and make things happen in the face of setbacks and unforeseen challenges, by selecting healthy role models and mentors and taking daily actions that define who we are to become.We are not what society and randomness have made us. We area nation of immigrants, most of whom arrived with nothingmore than hope and a willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve our own dream. We are what we have chosen to be from the depth of our very souls and being. We are self-made based upon our beliefs. No significant decisions -- personal or business -- haveever been undertaken without the attendant feelings ofanxiety, uncertainty and guilt. The commitment to wade through these inevitable crises is the meaning of courage. To gain courage is to change your beliefs about what you deserve and about what's possible with patience and persistence.Get out of your comfort zone and stretch your limitations this week!-- Denis

Through inspired action Iam on the right track and experiencing achievement andpersonal fulfillment as I move forward in the pursuit of the goals I have set for myself."-- It's your life, LIVE BIG!

"Take chances, make mistakes. That's how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave."

I remember the best time I had with her.. when I was four, I was crying quite badly. [Haha.. inherited that from her] And she just listened to me cry and talk jibberish =p haha.. and I remember looking at her gold bangles and asking why are they sparkling [haha.. my eyes were teary..]

Hi.. the new year's almost here. Well, to some people, it's nothing because every day's the same. So what if it's 2008? hmm.. I guess it's quite true but the thing about a new year.. is that it's a good place to start a new chapter.. do something different and basically start fresh.
I have to say.. 2007 sucks to the core and I couldn't have pulled through without my friends and family. things got better towards end of the year =] after exams! So, I'm not complaining.. maybe things are really getting better with the new year coming. I hate fearing that I screwed my exams. Despite my attempts to forget it.. the horrors still find their way back to me in my dreams, waking me in the mornings..I know what's done cannot be undone but I seriously hate to imagine myself crying when I get my results because I failed my own expectations.
In any case, I shall still state my New Year Resolutions and try sticking to them.
1. Do well in whatever course I choose to take.
2. Get more exercise and be less stressed
3. Keep in touch with classmates
4. Maintain all relationships =]
5. Be a better me
