Congratulations. You are YELLOW. YELLOWS are motivated by FUN. They are inviting and embrace life as a party that they're hosting. They love playful interaction and can be extremely sociable. They are highly persuasive and seek instant gratification. YELLOWS need to be adored and praised. While YELLOWS are carefree, they are sensitive and highly alert to others' agendas to control them. YELLOWS typically carry within themselves the gift of a good heart.
YELLOWS need to look good socially, and friendships command a high priority in their lives. YELLOWS are happy, articulate, engaging of others and crave adventure. Easily distracted, they can never sit still for long. They embrace each day in the "present tense" and choose people who, like themselves, enjoy a curious nature. YELLOWS are charismatic, spontaneous, and positive; but can also be irresponsible, obnoxious, and forgetful. When others interact with you, as a YELLOW you respond to them best if they take a positive, upbeat approach and promote light-hearted, creative, and fun interactions with you.

Understand that no two YELLOWS are exactly alike. Although you share the same core motivation as many others, your personality is still unique to you alone.

ENFPs have a tendency to overextend themselves in both their physical and emotional commitments. Their proclivity to procrastinate and to overlook details complicates their circumstances. ENFPs often move on to new ventures without completing those they have already started. Their charming personalities can show signs of irritability and over-sensitivity when their desires to please different people come into conflict. During times of stress, ENFPs feel alienated. They then engage in deceptions that serve to obscure what is occurring within themselves.
The ENFP finds symbolic meanings behind the immediate circumstances. These meanings are construed as foreboding problems when ENFPs are under stress. Having a pervasive feeling of losing control over their own independent identities, ENFPs will feel virtually split apart by intruding circumstances. They will be "besides themselves" and "just not all there" — as if something, or someone, has taken away the essence of who they are. Not feeling like themselves, the ENFP will become subject to their own feelings of shame for being a phony, a fake or an impostor. If stress continues to grow, they may attribute malevolent schemes to others in order to explain away their fears.

Jasmine, your perfect pet is a Cat
When it comes to finding the puuuur-fect pet, you should look no further than a cute little puss in boots. Just like your feline counterpart, you'd never shy away from a challenge. Always inquisitive, you're known for being a little quiet, but that's just because you like to take it all in before you make a move. Watching your kitty bat away at a ball of string? Feeling her purr against your stomach? Now that's the cat's meow!Independent, self-confident, and self-assured, you like to make friends and hang out on your own terms. So now that the cat's out of the bag, go bag one of your own!

told you I love cats.. can get me that stuffed toy from PS?? black cat with green eyes~~ meowz =^.^=

tired tired tired.. life is horrible with all the studying~ I know I shouldn't complain because I'm so much more fortunate than others.. but seriously~ how do you measure happiness? which is better? to be stressed but have all the material needs fulfilled or to be less materially satisfied but less stressed at the same time? What am I working so hard for?? I want to go to a uni.. but I don't wish to kill half my brain cells before I achieve that.. I want to help the people around me.. but must I study that hard to get there?

I know my study method is screwed because I'm flipping my sleeping patterns and my biological system is getting a bit cranky.. Sometimes I really feel lonely.. I hate to admit it but studying isn't as fun as it was anymore.. Am I starting to lose my innate curiosity?

Xinhui- thanks for being my chem buddy~ hope we can do well =] let's see if we can find a decent time slot..

Back from hell.

Hi folks.. Guess everyone's at least almost finishing their nightmarish papers.

I've never studied so much in my entire life.. really. Cos I've never been so disciplined to wake up early in the morning (like 5.30am and I slept at 1am) and even hear my own alarm ring. Whatever it is.. I've really tried my best this time round.. And I hope to get some decent grades.. NO MORE Us or Ss.

Was asking people what they would feel if I died

Ma: I would cry even if my 18 yr-old dog died. Of course I would cry and get upset if you died.
[THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMPARING ME WITH A DOG =_=]

Dad:Don't say such things la! Papa will die first. You still have a long long way to go.

Sis: Don't be silly! *laughs.. anyway, I'd cry for my dog too.
[Thanks meano.. like mum like daughter]

Friend: Nothing much, really.
[Are you really a friend??]

Gosh.. No one really cares if I died ='[ yea.. who would? life goes on. I'm just one insignificant freak removed from the millions of homosapiens. OH WHATEVER! If I died, I won't care and I can't care either!

Ok... post-exam-sleep-deficient-nonsense-spounting-syndrome

ha =_= see ya!

Most romantic line a guy can say to me:

'No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you.'

-guilty. I was watching tv =p hey! we all need some time to de-stress (especially after some crappy GP exam =p)

Courage is not the absence of fear but the resistance of fear, the mastery of fear..

"Don't run away from your fears. Run towards your fears. Hug your monsters. An extraordinary life will follow."

Venus in Libra Applied to Jasmine's Natural MateWhen Jasmine was born, the "Goddess of Love" was in Libra the Balance. So, does Jasmine have a thing for folks who are always weighing things? Or who are utterly balanced themselves? In a sense, yes. The real point here is that Jasmine responds in a viscerally romantic way to people who take a balanced attitude toward everything, who aren't dogmatic, and who can have their own opinions and still entertain Jasmine's perspectives, even when they're miles apart...people who are fair, in other words. This sense of balance and proportion suffuses more than the mental attitudes of someone who is wired to trigger Jasmine’s gut responses. Anyone would also observe it instantly in the way such an individual dresses, decorates a home, and deals with people: there is elegance, a sense of style that, while never pretentious or loud, always seems pretty close to perfection. Jasmine has a real appreciation of beauty; the natural romantic partner may or may not have been blessed by the gods physically in that department, but one point is sure: such an individual will present an appearance, in action as well as in more material concerns that maximizes whatever beauty, inner or outer, those gods may have offered.

Jasmine, the best match for your personality is Leo
Leo, the Lion (July 23 to August 22): This generous and faithful partner is just your type. Initially, a Leo may catch your eye with their outgoing ways and flamboyant personal presence. But as you get to know them, you're even more likely to be drawn to your Leo's strength and loyalty. Be aware, people born under this sign are known for seeking pleasure at every turn. Typically, they aren't afraid to take risks to get what they want. This can-do, forceful nature can make Leos seem a bit domineering at times. However, a Leo partner will also usually be very willing to work through any problems that arise between the two of you. In the bedroom, you'll likely find the Lion to be a romantic lover with an ample sex drive. This is just another aspect of their love for life, attention, and fun.

Hello.. =] I wanna say a big THANK YOU for all the well wishes and hugs and gifts showered on me. ^_^ Feel so spoilt.. ah well =] I've got a nice pop up card from da class peeps and a nice one from ZM and ET. Thanks guys (and gals) Oh and I've got my squishy-squashy p-case! hey! It's HUGE! haha~ thx to uncle (im not your uncle) for da nice poem =]

Glad that I have friends who celebrate my birthday with me =] I still remember Hammie (sam) and friends celebrating in secondary sch.. ='] one of the most touching birthdays.. =_= and my parents forgot. [let's see if it happens again =p]
let X denote average no. of times parents forget my birthday. X~Po(1) oops! =D

Well.. being 18 is like being 17.. just a bit older and my shoulders a bit stiffer with the heavier burden that I carry? But I know I'm still fortunate and I thank everyone for making each year a great one [won't be the same without da people around me] so I guess I should thank that someone up there for always arranging stuff nicely for me? =p thanks thanks

Love always,
Jas.

"When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn."

I pray that the tide will turn and that I won't have to sail against the current..

Get to know yourself better
Your view on yourself:You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?
Your views on education: Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you:You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.
Who is your true self:You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

"When you paint success pictures in your mind, you initiate an inner process whereby your attitudes, hopes, aspirations, and enthusiasm are elevated in response to an image of a more promising future. Every person who aspires must first sell themselves hope, the promise of a better life."

This story should be printed and left where you will see it often - and then everytime you come across a project you think you cannot successfully complete read this story again.

Eight-year-old Glenn Cunningham raced into a burning schoolhouse to rescue his big brother. When he regained consciousness five hours later, his brother was dead and Glenn's horribly burned legs lay limp and without feeling. Specialists urged his parents to have Glenn's legs amputated immediately - he would never walk again - but Glenn pleaded against them. Even though the toes of his left foot were gone and the bone supporting the ball of his left foot practically destroyed, Glenn was determined to walk again.
That was the summer of 1919. One week later Glenn announced he was ready to stand up. His father lifted him out of bed, stood him upright and let go. Glenn crumpled to the floor. Every day Glenn's parents carefully rubbed his dead limbs. Every day for weeks, they repeated the lifting-falling exercise. Then one day, for a few seconds, Glenn Cunningham stood on his own.
A few days later Glenn took a few small, shaky steps. His parents kept on rubbing his legs. He ate carefully and began to push himself hard, running everywhere he went - to the fields, to the store, to school.
In 1930, with no toes on his left foot and almost missing a major bone, Glenn Cunningham set a high school record for the mile run, 4:24.7. He enrolled in Kansas University and two years later qualified for the Olympics with a United States record-setting mile of 4:11.1. Despite tonsillitis at the Los Angeles Olympics in 1932, he still finished fourth. He defeated milers around the world, repeatedly breaking his own records. In his early thirties he retired, holding the world mile record of 4:04.4.

More tips..

1. Become involved in activities. Being challenged with mind-related or physical activities is an important part of remaining alert, informed, and in shape. Cater to your physical and mental needs, keeping them at the peak of performance. Be all that you can be in all respects.2. Set a good example. Live a life that embraces fairness, sincerity, thoughtfulness and caring. Younger people, as well as adults, are impressed with those who have principles and stand up for what is right.3. Be thankful. Life is to be enjoyed. Part of that enjoyment is accepting blessings with appreciation and gratitude.4. Be fair to yourself and others. Demonstrate fairness in all that you do. This trait reveals your concern for others while demonstrating an impartial attitude and an absence of discrimination.Set rules and guidelines for your life. Rules and guidelines assure that goals will be pursued according to plan. Goals bring orderliness to a life that yields gratification and fulfillment.5. Avoid anger. Someone once said “Anger is like throwing stones at a bee hive; you may be surprised at what happens.” Bouts of anger imply no control, a situation usually resulting in regret and disappointments. Often an angered person loses friends, partners and others. No one likes to be caught in a web of uncontrolled anger.6. Accept what you can not change; change what you can. Injustice raises red flags for nearly everyone. Work to accomplish your beliefs and convictions. Those things impossible to change or alter are best forgotten.7. Live with self-discipline. Developing self- discipline means learning to say “no” to situations that might damage physically or mentally. Many decisions are made daily. Distinguish those that are beneficial from those that are harmful. Control your life with thought, intelligence and zeal.8. Guard against negative thinking. It is easy to become discouraged always thinking the worst is to come. Financial problems, health concerns, and family troubles, at times, make life seem onerous and burdensome. Review life achievements, friendships and other assets. Gain control and see the good in your life and in the lives of others.9. Work against self-pity. Feeling sorry for yourself is a solitary occupation which doesn’t impress or attract friends. Develop self-assurance based on your past accomplishments and accentuate the positive aspects of your life.10. Just as other worthwhile pursuits, a life lived according to certain planned guidelines results in creating a life which impresses and influences others as well as being as acceptable and pleasing to you.

For those who do not have a religion but want to try and be happy.. here are some tips..

1. Smile, even when you want to frown.2. Sing a happy song.3. Hug someone.4. Say “I love you” to those who have hurtyou.5. Open the windows and let the sunshine in.6. Count your many blessings.7. Understand that it’s not having what wewant that makes us happy, but wanting what we have.8. Focus on the positive.9. Tell yourself that you feel good.10. Concentrate on what doesn’t hurt.11. Enjoy the “priceless” treasures in life.12. Be grateful for everything, even the trials we are facing.

SELF PSYCHO-ING~

Hihi! I'm finally blogging =p Had fun playing badminton with uncle today >.< da shuttlecock kept hitting the gents toilet. and lotsa funny stuff happened. I think I trained my abdomen muscles more than my arm muscle. =D kept laughing like nuts! Ok.. today was a happy day and so was yesterday.. I went for a romantic wedding dinner and da chocolates were great! sigh~ I wanna get married too ^_^

Had fun with lectures.. they aren't so boring now.. I think it's because I'm finally concentrating =] oh.. but the mind was so tired, it fell asleep during break time and I kept dreaming of chem stuff xp

Gotta chiong! Chem test tmr! Ciao!

Yup.. yoga and choco making today.. choco doesn't really taste good but it doesn't matter now. Yoga's not too bad.. watch how the sun salutation is done..good warm up exercise that you can do in less than 5 minutes. But I can't feel the 'quieting the mind' effect.. Still too restless =]

Enjoy! J'adore le chocolat!

Au revoir!

yup that's the highlight today.. body combat (more like aerobics) anyway, it's a good workout esp. when you have lotsa energy and are stressed. =]
good way to relax

Here's a demo on aikido.. the way of Harmony.. was very inspired by it because it teaches you many lessons in life. For example, you should always have a good posture no matter how bad a day is.. Open up and you'll see greater things..Or to fix a relationship, you have to get closer to the other.

It's difficult to explain why I draw these links. Maybe after having a little contact, you'll understand why.

And, banana latte is just one flavour. Maybe someday, one's taste and preference will change.. One might like to try banana with honey instead. So seize the moment! Cherish that wonderful feeling you have while tasting banana latte and move on if you have decided that you've had enough =]

End.

-'Banana latte, please,'

It's quite a weird combination, isn't it? My taste buds told me they didn't like what they were tasting. Afterall, the two aren't exactly compatible. However, that unique taste started to grow on me after a few sips. It's funny how that sweet banana taste mixes with the bitter latte.

It's just like how couples who didn't seem to match at first got together later. It takes a lot of courage to try something new and in the course, find it pleasant.

Go try give it a try.. both the drink and that unlikely individual you have in mind =]

hello hello.. Been quite busy lately. Well, what do you expect? A mini war has just ended and another one is about to begin.. I'm taking this opportunity to rest and prepare for the next round of attacks.. Hopefully, I'll do better with each turn.

I got really upset for a moment just now.. Pissed at my dad, as usual. I thought I'd lost my phone because I was getting out of the car and might have dropped it. I searched the entire house like a mad woman, tossing everthing out of my bag and even went downstairs to check if it's on the road.

'Dad, did you see my handphone?'
'No, of course not.'
'ok.. I'll keep searching. I think I've lost it..'

So I went back to look for it.. worried that I might have lost it for good (but I thought that would mean a new phone too =D)

GUESS WHAT?


DAD KEPT IT WITH HIM.. HE LIED!!!$%#^$&#$&

Of course, I'm not totally mad. I should have known. If I'd really lost it, he won't have replied me calmly. He would have been smug and sarcastic, saying that I deserved it. [ok, at least I learnt to read him a little better]
And most of the time, he's still my sweet sugar daddy and I'm playing cub prancing around =]

THE END.

I stole this from Meizhu's blog =p

you might want to read and see if you have him/her in your mind now. Be honest with urself.. =)
1. As soon as you get online,you will look at his/her name first.
2. When you hear your phone ringing,you will hope it's him/her calling.
3. When a love song comes on the radio, you will think of him/her.
4. his/her name will make your heartskip a beat everytime you hear it.
5. you always find yourself thinking about & wondering if he/she is thinking about you.
6. When your phone beeps receiving message, you will hope it's him/her.
7. you will always want to know where is his/her location now.
8. you will always wish him/her goodnite/goodmorning.
9. you will always be worried when he/she is sick.
10- The whole time you were reading this, he/she is the only one person on your mind.......

I dreamt that I was having cramps.. But can you feel pain in your dreams? I knew it was a dream but I could feel immense pain.. maybe it's because I was half awake? Then..you know what happens later. Yea, I got it on Vesak day. How nice.

stress stress stress!

Is this the reason for the increase in hair loss?

Gosh I hate physics and math.. ='[ They make me cry..ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh help! someone save me, please!

Exams are coming once again!
It's time to play this crazy game!
But be careful what you do..
A slip might land you in your tomb!

If you are busy, just say so.

Don't ever..
1.HANG UP ON ME
2.IGNORE MY MESSAGES
3.LIE TO ME

Bloody pissed today. I hate being deserted like this.
If you feel guilty, it suggests that you're one of those fellas.

Sickening.

Yay.. there are some happy stuff and disappointing stuff to share. Let's start of with da happy ones.
1)I aced my chem test! whoo hoo! Hey, I worked for it.. so gimme some credit yea?
2)I got most of the courses I want for enrichment week and guess what? I signed up for bio conc camp =_=
3)I love my zen_stone! ^_^
4)I love my kids.. as in.. those kids who come for tuition with me.
5)I love my friend who accompanied me home ^_~
6)I'm definitely a more responsible person than before.

Here comes the disappointing parts..
The reason why I feel that I'm more responsible is because I was the only one who went for the CIP (tuition with da kids) Those who didn't go, you know who you are. OK, I'm not angry because you may have your reasons for not going. But could you at least inform me beforehand?! Now, it's really unfair to the kids that you do not turn up because they really missed you and asked where you guys were. It also sucks because it reflects badly on your ability to commit. I know I shouldn't be passing judgements like this but please, go and do some self-reflection. This CIP is aimed to help students better their skills in English and not for YOU to just collect hours.

Blogger sucks but I've decided to blog anyway..

I'm stoning.. WITH ZEN_STONE! ^_^ haha ~whee! zenzen!
hee.. it's a gift from sha sha.. Honestly, I didn't think someone would actually buy me an ex(quite ex..) gift just like that.. no conditions..just to make me happy. =]
For that I wanna thank my dear sha sha for making my 'stoning' experience more exciting =_= haha!
Oh, of course dad doesn't know that it's mine yet though he saw it.. All because mum was around so it was hard to escape detection.. Anyway, what's done cannot be undone and I'm glad that I have my stone =] heck care your da parents when they are driving you nuts.

I'm in absolute refractory period..muhahaha

What kind of love story do you have?
http://web.tickle.com/tests/lovestory/

Second chances is your primary love story!

The Second Chances love story is rooted in nostalgia. Whether you're longing for the ex you haven't seen in a year, or are reminiscing about the crush you never connected with 10 years ago, this kind of searching is indicative of more than dissatisfaction with your current romantic relationships. Whether you do it consciously or not, most people who migrate towards the Second Chances love story either want to revise a past decision, confront someone you couldn't at the time, or revert back to a specific point in time. Do you ever wish you could return to a different period in your life? This story is repeated more times than you could imagine. Take the film "Peggy Sue Got Married," for instance. In it, a housewife faints at her high school reunion and wakes up in her senior year at high school with the chance to change her destiny. The root of your story too, may arise from these feelings, that you need to reconnect with a time in your life when love was a larger focus of your life and responsibilities were much fewer. But it also might stem from other things as well. Your love story may arise out of regret for the past, or a desire to go back to when things were easier. Did you have a particularly easy, fun adolescence? Have you recently suffered a loss — perhaps a divorce or the death of a loved one — that's made you long for the period before that incident? Are you acutely aware that decisions carry with them a strong impact? Do you spend a lot of time analyzing your decisions, going over things you've said or done in your mind? Or are you simply sentimental, in love with old books and classic films, as well as your own memories? It's no wonder this is such a common love story. How many films feature starlets staring off dreamily into a recollection of days past? How many books reveal heroes and heroines kept apart in the beginning, only to find themselves together at the end? Romantic films and books often use this archetypal tale of paradise lost and regained to create some of the greatest love stories of all time. "Casablanca" is one of the greatest renditions of this love story. In it, Rick, played by Humphrey Bogart, is haunted by a brief romance with Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), shattered by circumstances beyond their control. "The Way We Were," another classic, follows a similar story line. In "American Beauty," Kevin Spacey plays a man who tries to recapture his youth through an affair with a teenage girl. These stories are so powerful precisely because they are so easy to relate to. This historical love story overpowers everybody at one point or another. How this tried and true love story plays out in individual lives, varies from person to person.

.THINK POSITIVE.

Believe in the power of postive thinking.

To do that, first believe that it can be done.

RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Tired, Depressed and Frustrated.

How can I motivate me? I need help..

I hate to say this but I screwed up my CT real bad. (it's really REALLY screwed. I'm not talking about As or Bs or Cs here.) It makes me think that I'm stupid.. Or maybe I'm just not putting in enough effort.
I feel really upset cos I supposedly have more time to study but fared worse than the busiest person I can think of. Yea, I'm just plain dumb. Fine. :'( Ultra-demoralised actually. But I think giving up is not an option. So I shall try again..

A failure only establishes one thing- the determination to succeed was not strong enough.

Your Moralising Quotient of 0.58 compares to an average Moralising Quotient of 0.41. This means that as far as the events depicted in the scenarios featured in this activity are concerned you are less permissive than average.
Your Interference Factor of 0.25 compares to an average Interference Factor of 0.26. This means that as far as the events depicted in the scenarios featured in this activity are concerned you are less likely to recommend societal interference in matters of moral wrongdoing, in the form of prevention or punishment, than average.
Your Universalising Factor of 0.67 compares to an average Universalising Factor of 0.51. This means you are more likely than average to see moral wrongdoing in universal terms - that is, without regard to prevailing cultural norms and social conventions (at least as far as the events depicted in the scenarios featured in this activity are concerned)

See? I said that I'm quite moral didn't I? ;)

My luck ran out and I finally got my scolding some days back . Greatly disappointed with myself and upset with what my dad said though some parts are true (but he's way too harsh) I deleted all my messages in my phone inbox since he cannot understand my need for personal space. So from now on, he shall not have the advantage to peek into my inbox though I allowed it in the past because I trust that he would respect me and not interrogate me about every message. [Can you imagine someone asking you what's happening and who sent what when he got to read it first? Or can you imagine someone forcing you to send nasty messages to your friends just because he doesn't like that friend? Imagination can become reality.]
So please, if you wish to talk to me or message a silly joke, do that before 3pm. After that, I may not have control over 'his' property. Fine.

Bless you.

I didn't get any huge scoldings so far.. haha. That's a relief but that doesn't mean that I'm not gonna do anything about my grades. This shall be a reminder to myself to pay more attention to some subjects. Like it or not, I'm gonna do it. ;) Yea baby, bring it on!

I have been trying to think of what course I want to enter after graduation. What I want may seem a little difficult to get into.. but I really don't know where I'm heading. Sigh.. I may have strengths that I'm not allowed to develop because of you-know-who. In a sense, I can't discover my potential =S I feel stupid at times because I'm doing what I don't want to do but know I can do it just to please you-know-who.

Yea, you may think that this is my own doing and only I can save myself. But isn't there a way where I can do what I'm 'destined' to do and not piss him off at the same time?

Keep me in prayers ok? =P Somehow, things will work out. They always do =]

‘How many babies do you want to have?’ Ya, that’s the question that my friend asked me while we were shelving some books. Haha, we were talking about some teacher who’s recently pregnant. So, the conversation just went on to that. Then I get people asking what kind of guy I’d want as a husband and when will I get married.. Marital issues that I didn’t seriously think about. Anyway, I’ll just try to answer my friends and myself on this post. And, if you are interested and think that you fit the description, we can be friends ;)

How many kids will I have?
Well, that’s kinda difficult to say. Because I don’t know how fertile I am and how my hubby is =P. It also depends on how many he wants to have. If he doesn’t, then we can just have some serious fun =P Assuming we are both fertile and willing, I guess 5 is really the maximum (financial constraints) I may consider adopting 2 kids if my hubby really loves them. =) One thing for sure, I hope I won’t have to raise my kids here.

What kind of qualities am I looking for in a life partner?
Someone who loves me for who I am.
Someone who respects me and gives me a little privacy.
Someone who’s equally intelligent if possible (I don’t wish anyone to have some form of control and manipulate our relationship)
Someone who loves to have fun but will be practical when there’s a need to.
Someone who will not abandon me when there’s trouble. (Meaning, we share our woes. Yea, I would too.)

I think that’s a lot to ask for already. So, I think that’s roughly what I want if it’s possible. If not, I won’t mind if he has at least 3 of the qualities ;)

When will I get married?
Not too sure. But I try to do so in 7 years time from now. [Meaning, 25 yrs old. We need time to get the babies! =D Yea, all done by 30 ;) ]

Ok, got to go!

Sigh.. I've been stuck at home recuperating. =[ stupid cough and flu during the hols?! I hope I get well soon by Sunday. Not good to keep coughing in class.. *screams I hate homework. *cough cough

Enough said.

Active learners tend to retain and understand information best by doing something active with it--discussing or applying it or explaining it to others. Reflective learners prefer to think about it quietly first.
"Let's try it out and see how it works" is an active learner's phrase; "Let's think it through first" is the reflective learner's response.
Active learners tend to like group work more than reflective learners, who prefer working alone.
Sitting through lectures without getting to do anything physical but take notes is hard for both learning types, but particularly hard for active learners.
If you always act before reflecting you can jump into things prematurely and get into trouble, while if you spend too much time reflecting you may never get anything done. haha i guess that's why i get into a lot of trouble all the time =P
How can active learners help themselves?
If you are an active learner in a class that allows little or no class time for discussion or problem-solving activities, you should try to compensate for these lacks when you study. Study in a group in which the members take turns explaining different topics to each other. Work with others to guess what you will be asked on the next test and figure out how you will answer. You will always retain information better if you find ways to do something with it.
How can reflective learners help themselves?
If you are a reflective learner in a class that allows little or no class time for thinking about new information, you should try to compensate for this lack when you study. Don't simply read or memorize the material; stop periodically to review what you have read and to think of possible questions or applications. You might find it helpful to write short summaries of readings or class notes in your own words. Doing so may take extra time but will enable you to retain the material more effectively.

Sensing learners tend to like learning facts, intuitive learners often prefer discovering possibilities and relationships.
Sensors often like solving problems by well-established methods and dislike complications and surprises; intuitors like innovation and dislike repetition. Sensors are more likely than intuitors to resent being tested on material that has not been explicitly covered in class.
Sensors tend to be patient with details and good at memorizing facts and doing hands-on (laboratory) work; intuitors may be better at grasping new concepts and are often more comfortable than sensors with abstractions and mathematical formulations.
Sensors tend to be more practical and careful than intuitors; intuitors tend to work faster and to be more innovative than sensors.
Sensors don't like courses that have no apparent connection to the real world; intuitors don't like "plug-and-chug" courses that involve a lot of memorization and routine calculations. ya! hate calculations =[
Visual learners remember best what they see--pictures, diagrams, flow charts, time lines, films, and demonstrations. Verbal learners get more out of words--written and spoken explanations. Everyone learns more when information is presented both visually and verbally.
In most college classes very little visual information is presented: students mainly listen to lectures and read material written on chalkboards and in textbooks and handouts. Unfortunately, most people are visual learners, which means that most students do not get nearly as much as they would if more visual presentation were used in class. Good learners are capable of processing information presented either visually or verbally. sad.. I belong to the majority
How can visual learners help themselves?
If you are a visual learner, try to find diagrams, sketches, schematics, photographs, flow charts, or any other visual representation of course material that is predominantly verbal. Ask your instructor, consult reference books, and see if any videotapes or CD-ROM displays of the course material are available. Prepare a concept map by listing key points, enclosing them in boxes or circles, and drawing lines with arrows between concepts to show connections. Color-code your notes with a highlighter so that everything relating to one topic is the same color.
How can verbal learners help themselves?
Write summaries or outlines of course material in your own words. Working in groups can be particularly effective: you gain understanding of material by hearing classmates' explanations and you learn even more when you do the explaining.

SEQUENTIAL AND GLOBAL LEARNERS
Sequential learners tend to gain understanding in linear steps, with each step following logically from the previous one. Global learners tend to learn in large jumps, absorbing material almost randomly without seeing connections, and then suddenly "getting it."
Sequential learners tend to follow logical stepwise paths in finding solutions; global learners may be able to solve complex problems quickly or put things together in novel ways once they have grasped the big picture, but they may have difficulty explaining how they did it.
Many people who read this description may conclude incorrectly that they are global, since everyone has experienced bewilderment followed by a sudden flash of understanding. What makes you global or not is what happens before the light bulb goes on. Sequential learners may not fully understand the material but they can nevertheless do something with it (like solve the homework problems or pass the test) since the pieces they have absorbed are logically connected. Strongly global learners who lack good sequential thinking abilities, on the other hand, may have serious difficulties until they have the big picture. Even after they have it, they may be fuzzy about the details of the subject, while sequential learners may know a lot about specific aspects of a subject but may have trouble relating them to different aspects of the same subject or to different subjects.

How can sequential learners help themselves?
Most college courses are taught in a sequential manner. However, if you are a sequential learner and you have an instructor who jumps around from topic to topic or skips steps, you may have difficulty following and remembering. Ask the instructor to fill in the skipped steps, or fill them in yourself by consulting references. When you are studying, take the time to outline the lecture material for yourself in logical order. In the long run doing so will save you time. You might also try to strengthen your global thinking skills by relating each new topic you study to things you already know. The more you can do so, the deeper your understanding of the topic is likely to be.

How can global learners help themselves?
If you are a global learner, it can be helpful for you to realize that you need the big picture of a subject before you can master details. If your instructor plunges directly into new topics without bothering to explain how they relate to what you already know, it can cause problems for you. Fortunately, there are steps you can take that may help you get the big picture more rapidly. Before you begin to study the first section of a chapter in a text, skim through the entire chapter to get an overview. Doing so may be time-consuming initially but it may save you from going over and over individual parts later. Instead of spending a short time on every subject every night, you might find it more productive to immerse yourself in individual subjects for large blocks. Try to relate the subject to things you already know, either by asking the instructor to help you see connections or by consulting references. Above all, don't lose faith in yourself; you will eventually understand the new material, and once you do your understanding of how it connects to other topics and disciplines may enable you to apply it in ways that most sequential thinkers would never dream of.

Yes, sharing works 2 ways (except for the case of dative bonds)
Today, I've learnt a life lesson when I interacted with my niece. She frowned and hugged a packet of sweets close to her chest and said, 'These are mine! I'm not going to share them with you!' I laughed haughtily and told her that I've got more and if she doesn't share hers, she's not gonna get mine. (Of course, I was just kidding, trying to lure her into sharing her sweets) Then, she retorted,' Fine! I'll just eat my own sweets!'
I was thinking, how could a little girl like her be so self-centered? I wasn't like that when I was her age. Yea, she's a smart girl compared to other 4 year olds..
After a while, I took out some sweets and she was looking intently at them. I gave one to sis and took out another for her to give my niece. But sis told me to give it to my niece on my own.. Initially, she won't have it and kept moving away from me until she gave up when she knew I was sincere.
Guess what? She offered me her new packet of sweets ^_^

The moral of the story is, I shouldn't have threatened not to give her my sweets initially. It will only make her think that I was selfish too. By giving her my sweets, she would learn what sharing means..

*Do as you wish others would do unto you
既不所欲，勿施于人

Happy Valentines'! [oh and happy birthday, Nurus ;)]
Thank you all for being so sweet on this day... special thanks to junshi(ex mortal and current angel) nice chick with juicy lips.. is that hot chick suppose to symbolise someone? ^_^ Thanks to Er Mei(ET) and Xiao Mei(Jan) for the nice cup, Mr. Tan and the House for the kisses showered on me, Ben for the sweet rose (you had to order on that day or way before?) atikah for the pack of sweet stuff. *Hugs to everyone.

Seriously, everyday can be Valentines' Day if 2 people love each other like nuts.. and you need not spend a lot of money.. =]

Perhaps someday, I'll find someone who will share our dream together..

•Feb. 7: Archaeologists in northern Italy have discovered a couple buried more than 5,000 years ago, their arms still wrapped around each other in an embrace.
ROME - They died young and, by the looks of it, in love. Two 5,000-year-old skeletons found locked in an embrace near the city where Shakespeare set the star-crossed tale "Romeo and Juliet" have sparked theories the remains of a far more ancient love story have been found.
Archaeologists unearthed the skeletons dating back to the late Neolithic period outside Mantua, 25 miles south of Verona, the city of Shakespeare's story of doomed love.
Buried between 5,000 and 6,000 years ago, the prehistoric pair are believed to have been a man and a woman and are thought to have died young, because their teeth were found intact, said Elena Menotti, the archaeologist who led the dig.
"As far as we know, it's unique," Menotti told The Associated Press by telephone from Milan. "Double burials from the Neolithic are unheard of, and these are even hugging."
Archaeologists digging in the region have found some 30 burial sites, all single, as well as the remains of prosperous villages filled with artifacts made of flint, pottery and animal horns.
Although the Mantua pair strike an unusual and touching pose, archaeologists have found other prehistoric burials in which the dead hold hands or have other contact, said Luca Bondioli, an anthropologist at Rome's National Prehistoric and Ethnographic Museum.
Bondioli, who was not involved in the Mantua dig, said the find has "more of an emotional than a scientific value." But it does highlight how the relationship people have with each other and with death has not changed much from the period in which humanity first settled in villages, learning to farm the land and tame animals, he said.
"The Neolithic is a very formative period for our society," he said. "It was when the roots of our religious sentiment were formed."
Menotti said the burial was "a ritual, but we have to find out what it means."
Experts might never determine the exact nature of the pair's relationship, but Menotti said she had little doubt it was born of a deep sentiment.
"It was a very emotional discovery," she said. "From thousands of years ago we feel the strength of this love. Yes, we must call it love."
The couple's burial site was located Monday during construction work for a factory in the outskirts of Mantua. Alongside the couple, archaeologists found flint tools, including arrowheads and a knife, Menotti said.
Experts will now study the artifacts and the skeletons to determine the burial site's age and how old the two were when they died, she said. The finds will then go on display at Mantua's Archaeological Museum.
Establishing the cause of death could prove almost impossible, unless they were killed by a debilitating disease, a knife or something else that might have left marks on the bones, Menotti said.

Thoughts..

First: What a loving couple.

Second: What a foolish loving couple. Then again, they were young and innocent..

Third: Well, if they weren't foolish, this won't be news.

Fourth:What is this thing called love?

Fifth:Does it make you do foolish things?

Sixth:This isn't the only case. Maybe it was the culture then to die together? Maybe it was the 'in' thing to do. To prove how strong their love was. Till death do us continue this in the next part of our journey with no interruptions from parents.

Seventh: Is it worth it? What if he wasn't the right one? How sure are they about 'the other side?'

Ok.. guess I was just thinking useless stuff but =] just one last one, is it a selfish act to ask someone to die with you? Well you may say that life is worse than death without your loved one but even if the person is willing to, is it right?

Sigh..

A sad song that I like.. sometimes I want to run away too..

[Verse 1] Now little lisa is only 9 years old
tryin to figure out why the world is so cold
Why shes all all alone and they never met her family
Mamas always gone and she never met her daddy
Part of her is missin and nobody will listenin
Mama is on drugs gettin high up in the kitchen
Bringin home men at different hours of the night
Startin with laughs--usually endin in a fight
Sneak into her room while her mamas knocked out
Tryin to have his way and little lisa says 'ouch'
She tries to resist but then all he does is beat her
Tries to tell her mom but her mama don't believe her
Lisa is stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that hell is a place called home
Nothin else to do but some get some clothes and pack
She says shes bout to run away and never come back.
[Hook] Runaway love
Runaway love

[Verse 2] Little nicole is only 10 years old
Shes steady tryin to figure why the world is so cold
shes not pretty and nobody seems to like her
Alcoholic step dad always wanna strike her
Yells and abuses, leaves her with some bruises
Teachers ask questions she makin up excuses
Bleedin on the inside, cryin on the out
Its only one girl really knows what she about
name is lil stacy and they become friends
Promise that they always be tight til the end
Until one day lil stacy gets shot
A drive by bullet went stray up on her block
Now nicole stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that hell is a place called home
Nothin else to do but some get some clothes and pack
She says shes bout to run away and never come back.

[Verse 3] Little erica is eleven years old
Shes steady tryin to figure why the world is so cold
So she pops x to get rid of all the pain
Cause shes havin sex with a boy whos sixteen
Emotions run deep and she thinks shes in love
So theres no protection hes usin no glove
Never thinkin bout the consequences of her actions
Livin for today and not tomorrows satisfaction
The days go by and her belly gets big
The father bails out he aint ready for a kid
Knowin her mama will blow it all outta proportion
Plus she lives poor so no money for abortion
Erica is stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that hell is a place called home
Nothin else to do but get her clothes and pack
She say shes about to run away and never come back.
[Hook] Runaway love [repeats til end]

Here's a notice that I saw on the first level of my HDB flat. Never mind the English.. the guy who wrote this was probably too tired to write properly.

To the party concerned

Kindly refrainfrom thumping at home. It is extremely annoying to be listening to the thumping the whole day even to the early morning like 3 plus in the morning.

If this continues, please note that the authority will be notified and the required actions be taken to stop you from doing this.

If you are the party concerned, please stop this immediately (maybe you don't need to sleep, but others to(do.. he spelt wrongly) Do spare a thought for others.

Very annoyed residents of Block 715
(composed at 3.38am and still hearing the thumping)

another resident scribbled: I heard it too!!! Very annoying!!!

Haha.. I actually added another comment on that paper.. 'I think the owner is overseas.He doesn't realise what is happening'

It's a good thing to sleep like a pig actually.. cos you won't be bothered by what thumping sound or ghost howling or cat meowing, whatever. ;) and I'm a piggy when it comes to sleep!

did a handwriting analysis.. red means doubtful blue means spot on ;)
For a graphologist, the spacing on the page reflects the writer's attitude toward their own world and relationship to things in his or her own space. If the inputted data was correct Sim has left some white space on the left side of the paper. Sim fills up the rest of the page in a normal fashion moving the entire writing rightward as she moves down the page. If this is true, then Sim has a healthy relationship to the past and is ready to move on. The right side of the page represents the future and Sim is ready and willing to get started living now and planning for the future. Sim is leaving the past behind and moving on to what she perceives as an exciting and enticing future.
Sim is very self-sufficient. She is trying not to need anyone. She is capable of making it on her own. She probably wants and enjoys people, but she doesn't "need" them. She can be a loner.
Sim is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. She needs to visualize the end of a project before she starts. she finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said she plans everything she is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. Sim basically feels good about herself. She has a positive self-esteem which contributes to her success. She feels she has the ability to achieve anything she sets her mind to. However, she sets her goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach". She has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, she will not take great risks, as they relate to her goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagery, her self-perception is better than average.
Because Sim has zigzag'ed shaped 'm' and 'n' hump, Sim is an analytical thinker. Her mind sifts and examines facts. She interprets all facts by separating them, breaking them down, and organizing them from a critical point of view. This pattern of clarifying facts contributes to her strong reasoning ability. Sim's mind is constantly analyzing all situations that she encounters.
Sim has an over-awareness of self. She often feels self-conscious. She fears ridicule, therefore she is careful not to place herself in a position to receive any ridicule. She wonders what people will think if she acts in a certain manner. When encountering a new group of people, Sim may stay on the sidelines until she has the people categorized, or she may behave in a "positive attention getting" manner to assure people think good thoughts about her from the start. In the sales profession, this self-consciousness is called "call reluctance". They take the word "no" as a personal criticism. Therefore, there is an internal struggle when performing this type of work. Although this person may be a great salesperson, she still feels insecurity. She will perform better if someone else is with her because the fear of ridicule from her peers is far greater than the fear of ridicule from her clients. Many times this type of person becomes a sales trainer, because when she is training, she doesn't have to put herself in a position of being told "no" as often as the salesmen do.
Sim is talkative. She enjoys talking and socializing. She may talk when there is absolutely nothing important to say. She enjoys speaking.
Sim uses judgment to make decisions. She is ruled by her head, not her heart. She is a cool, collected person who is usually unexpressive emotionally. Some may see her as unemotional. She does have emotions but has no need to express them. She is withdrawn into herself and enjoys being alone. The circumstances when Sim does express emotions include: extreme anger, extreme passion, and tremendous stress. If someone gets her mad enough to tell her off, she will not be sorry about it later. She puts a mark in her mind when someone angers her. She keeps track of these marks and when she hits that last mark she will let them know they have gone too far. She is ruled somewhat by self-interest. All her conclusions are made without outside emotional influence. She is very level-headed and will remain calm in an emergency situation. In a situation where other people might get hysterical, she has poise. Sim will work more efficiently if given space and time to be alone. She would rather not be surrounded by people constantly. In a relationship, she will show her love by the things she does rather than by the things she says. Saying "I love you" is not a needed routine because she feels her mate should already know. The only exception to this is if she has logically concluded that it is best for her mate to hear her express her love verbally. Sim is not subject to emotional appeals. If someone is selling a product to her, they will need to present only the facts. They should present them from a standpoint of her sound judgment. She will not be taken in by an emotional story about someone else. She will meet emergencies without getting hysterical and she will always ask "Is this best for me?"

Don't Let Me Get Me Lyrics
by Pink
Never win first place, I don't support the team
I can't take direction, and my socks are never
clean
Teachers dated me, my parents hated me
I was always in a fight cuz I can't do nothin'
right
Everyday I fight a war against the mirror
I can't take the person starin' back at me
I'm a hazard to myself

Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else
I wanna be somebody else, yeah
LA told me, "You'll be a pop star,
All you have to change is everything you are."
Tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears
She's so pretty, that just ain't me
Doctor, doctor won't you please prescribe
somethin
A day in the life of someone else?
Cuz I'm a hazard to myself
Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else
Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else
Doctor, doctor won't you please prescribe
somethin
A day in the life of someone else?
Don't let me get me
Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else

Moral of the story.. this thingy is crap ;)

I'm in a dilemma.. On normal days, I would love PE. It does help me destress sometimes. But for now, I just hate it. Not because of the exercises I get but because of what happens after the lesson. It's causing my skin condition to worsen.. Never has it been so serious. It keeps getting dried up and peels off frequently.. can you imagine the pain, especially when it comes to bathing (which is my favourite pastime and now my worse nightmare?) This would be my last time taking the fitness exam.. Should I just try to carry on with it? Even though I'm so stressed about it? :'( I feel like crying. This thing just keeps coming and the irritaion is immense just after lesson. Why go through so much torture..? Should I? Sigh..

Conceptualize Your Purpose
When you look at the lives of the most successful people who ever lived, you can see that they had a definite purpose and they knew it. Some examples are: Christ - His purpose was spiritual, and stated in John 10:10, which reads: "I am come that you might have life, and that you might have it more abundantly."
Walt Disney’s purpose: "To make people happy."
Dr. R. Buckminster Fuller’s purpose: "Humanity’s comprehensive welfare on spaceship earth."
Henry Ford’s purpose: "To mass produce, mass distribute and have cars mass consumed."
Andrew Carnegie’s purpose: "To manufacture and market steel."
Mother Teresa’s purpose: "To care for and comfort the poor, sick and needy all over the world."
I don’t want you to confuse a purpose with a goal. Goals are great! I teach goal setting, and believe it is crucial to achieving any kind of success. But goals alone, left by themselves, can be indiscriminate and undirected. We can have hundreds of goals (and I hope you do), but we may only have one purpose that we work for our entire life. That purpose should be the underlying core that gives our goals direction and meaning.
Discovering your purpose will put your life into crystal-clear perspective. You won’t see the world you once knew. You will see another world, one in which you are a necessary and intricate spoke in the wheel.
The saddest places on earth are graveyards. Not because people are buried there, but because dreams, talents and purposes that never came to fruition are buried there. Graveyards are filled with books that were never written, songs that were never sung, words that were never spoken, things that were never done.
You have talents and gifts that no one else can offer. There are things you can do that no one else is capable of doing quite the way YOU can do them. Don’t rob this earth of your purpose by taking it to the grave with you. You see, we all have a purpose, a reason for living, breathing and existing. We all have unique talents and gifts that were created and given to us to be shared. Our task is to understand this and figure out what our purpose is. We owe it to the Universe AND to ourselves!
"You will become as small as your controlling desire, or as great as your dominant aspiration."

5 days since I last blogged and it feels like forever. Thank goodness the bio lecture test is over. If it dragged on further, I wonder if I'd become a national treasure => panda =_= yea.. I'm quite drained for now. But I know it's worse for my peers who have cca orientations, competitions and whatnots.. So I'm considered lucky since I still get to watch 'War and Beauty' and finish studying for the test today with most of the content still in my head. By the way, go catch 'War and Beauty' on Channel U 10pm every weekday! It's a great show and well, I'm obviously addicted. =] It's a good way to destress after a long day and I just love the cast.
Loving GP more than ever though I'm not under Alvin anymore. Still, life seems to be getting better and more interesting [if you minus the workload and expectations]
I thought I was going to have a math talk on Probability today. It was so interesting that I decided to go for it though I'm not an ardent fan of mathematics. Guess what? The lecturer lost his way.. [what a loser. oops!] I mean, how big is Singapore? =_= and so I did not get to learn the best way to choose a husband and wasted some time.
Sigh, I hate to say this but I'm so unfit! Worse thing is, Dad doesn't really like the idea of me running around outside the house.. Oh wells, I'll do something about it =] (though I would really really reallly love to have that 'Flabeloss'!)
ok.. I should get some sleep =_= *yawns

Au revoir!

I hate periods. yea.. the kind that girls get =_=.. Why is it so troublesome for girls? Why do we need to have those monthly trauma? It's not that I'm having it now and complaining ok..You get the moodswings, PMS, cramps, got to change that you-know-what.. it's all so sickening. =_= so guys, it's not so easy being a girl. Especially when you need to constantly keep a lookout and check that there's no trace of.. you-know-what behind.

bleh

I just can't trust you. Every cell in my body says you're scheming. I just want you to leave me alone. ='[

It's been a great Sunday evening for me. There's nothing special or whatsoever, just calm and cool. 2007 is here and somehow, I feel a change or maybe several changes happening. First is a change in me, I don't know exactly what would happen to me, but I think I'll be very different from the past years. 'Girls change when they turn 18'? Maybe. But I initiated the change. If I wanted to continue my childish ways, I could. It's just the first week of January and I begin to see things in a way that I've never seen before. I know it's all very easy to tell people to cherish all that they have and how fortunate they are. Somehow, I really understand that things don't come easily.

there's something different in the wind..

I need stress balls.. I went looking for them today but I couldn't find any. Do you listen to music while doing your homework? Or am I the only one who does that? Anyway, it's really hurting when dad yelled and sweared because I was caught listening to some songs. Perhaps we've both had too little sleep and so he's a bit short tempered. But all those nasty things he said makes me cry.. gosh those stupid tears are coming again

no music, no life.
