i love personality quizzes. and i love to laugh at the results and advices they offer. i took the test as part of the psc psychometric assessment and received my personality report today. ahh, imagine the joy i had! alright, let me just briefly discuss my characteristics. (according to the test, of course.)
1. social skills/extraversion
verdict: you mix well in social situations, BUT you hog the limelight.
solution: let other people have the limelight.
i say: ahh, these psycho people arent too clever eh.
2. emotional resillience/anxiety
verdict: you are confident, relaxed and resilient, BUT you overlook potential problems and difficulties.
solution: worrying about potential problems and obstacles.
i say: see what i mean? maybe they just saw the need to reuse their words and make clear what i need to do.
3. creativity and change/tough-mindedness
(what the hell is tough-mindedness anyway, all that is tough is a bad steak.)
verdict: you have practical ideas about how to do things better, BUT you do not consider novel ideas about how to do things differently.
solution: using creativity techniques to identify novel ideas.
i say: hmm, lets just say this one isnt too bad.
4. empathy/independence
verdict: you mix confidently in social situations (REALLY?), BUT you are somewhat self-centred. (wow, i feel flattered.)
solution: adopting a lower a profile in certain situations.
i say: gee, i think the advice is getting more and more useful.
5. conscientiousness and motivation/self-control
verdict: you think in a practical, task-oriented manner and you leave things to chance (yes this was stated as a strength.) BUT you miss the forest for the trees and you make mistakes in the detail.
solution: focusing on key goals rather than the detail (i thought i make mistakes in detail!) and taking more interest in the detail. (now they've got it right eh?)
i say: this is damn classic.
i dunno what those psycho people actually think about. i think their solutions are rubbish and i'll save myself without their suggestions, thank you very much.

ho khim rong says that i havent updated for too long. since i dont have any other things to talk about, i shall talk about her. have you seen her lately?! she has lost an amazing amount of weight, just like olinda cho. (check out the photos here!) but of course, khimmy did it on her own, exercising (such as pull-ups and 10km runs) and dieting (eating only taupok when she orders kway chap). that was a gross lie, to find out the truth, you can look here. dont take what im about to say too seriously. my brain's quite wacked. i think khimrong's so pretty and thin, she should be miss universe.
sometimes you make me feel like im on the top of the world, you make me feel like i had a chance. but right now, you make me feel like im the stupidest person on earth, to actually think that that was something.

you know the times, when you are envious of other people, and you wished you were like them? this is the closest i can get to describing what im feeling. i feel inadequate, and i wanna be someone else.
i wish i was slim and toned. i wish i had a pretty face. big bright eyes. oval-shaped face. pearly white smile. tanned radiant skin. i wish i had better physical attributes.
i wish i was outspoken and confident enough to speak whats on my mind to a really huge crowd. i wish i was determined enough to reach the goals i set. i wish i was organised enough to keep my table neat and tidy. i wish i was articulate enough to express myself. i wish i was witty enough to keep a conversation going. i wish i was fun enough to make ppl want to hang out with me. i wish i was good at cheering people up when they are down. i wish i was brave enough to confess.
i wish i could play ball well. i wish i could run like the wind. i wish i could jump like tigger. i wish i could sing a song and touch people's heart. i wish i could play an instrument and make everyone go wow. i wish i could paint and draw. i wish i could write something and make people cry. i wish i had talent.
i wish to be plenty of people. i wish i wasnt me. yet, i wish to be happy being me.

i am actually looking forward to school. before the papers started, i was really anticipating the break. but now, i think it was too long, especially when you have nothing good to do.
i didnt have a new book to read, so i re-read the goblet of fire. i didnt subscribe to world cup, so no soccer either, except the rubbish bits i read in the papers. i didnt catch up with friends, the people i want to talk to never seem to be online!
but, i did do quite a couple of things. i did get down to doing a bit of shopping, but my mom said i bought enough. (nothing's ever enough?!) i watched a couple of movies. i thought 'just my luck' had a dumb plot and 'superman returns' wasnt exactly fantastic. as lex luthor would describe, it lacks human touch.
i caught a bit of 'brokeback mountain' as leandra couldnt stop raving about it. but i gave up watching it when i would finally admit that i cant understand a single word heath ledger is saying through his accent. he's like an english jay chou. just less handsome. wahaha.
after a series of movies that didnt make me go wow, i still harbour hope on 'pirates of the carribean: dead man's chest'. hopefully johnny depp wont disappoint ;)
the other thing i did was to EAT. subway after the chem paper on thursday. seoul garden on friday. fish steamboat on sat. chocolate cake on sun. yeah, i was quite bored so i baked. it didnt turn out that great, but its still edible ;) and today, i had fish and chips at manhattan's fish market with a couple of old friends ;D thats pretty much to digest.
one thing that i ought to have done it, is to actually get my ass moving! theres a lot of weight to be shed. and a napfa to pass this term. i miss a good workout. and i hope i will have the determination to do it tomorrow.
