work is making me crabby and rather disagreeable in all aspects possible. i feel so restless and irritable for various reasons, such as a lack of purpose, repeatedly doing the same thing (dont ppl ever learn fr their mistakes?!), doing other ppl's work cos they are so good at taichi-ing to me, blah blah blah blah.
and so the hunt continues.. i tink he can sense it too. kinda perceptive, scarily so.
the gym is becoming a routine and outlet.. tires me out and gets rid of the insomnia.
and in light that i shld start finding joy in the littlest of things once more, i mus say i like my new shoes lots ^^ very good buy!
i'm so tired from all these last min changes. shelf again? we all know very well wat that word means.. means wasted effort, alot more hard work if we are to revive it again, more changes, blah blah blah. and you know what, after all that, it still might not even see the light.
ok lor.
you know wat else bugs me? strange behaviour. it really bugs me. cos i hafta guess and analyse and decipher and tat takes up ounces and ounces of my energy. saps all the strength out of me faster than i can finish drinking my bubble tea.
i duno if its me, or if its whoever's around me. seriously. i just dont think i'm tat screwed.
some random things i've come across the past weekends.
uncle zhou open restaurant! but cant be sure if its really his or his very extended family.. i guess if i fall asleep halfway thru the meal, i'll know for sure then..
i also got reminded of why i shldnt drive..
1) Cos i have STML. god bless camera phones.
2) Cos..i'm such a loser. i now know why this lot exists. its for erm ppl (idiots?) who er zoom past the ordering booth hehehehe.
3) Cos ah.. i find signs like this hilarious (the head there got *!# somemore leh!) and would have caused an accident trying to take a photo of this.
But.. with no car, then we wouldnt have seen Tiger Lily and Fru Fru show off! Tiger can stand on his own 2, er, hind paws! Fru unfortunately cheated.. but wants to show off his mane that he confessed to styling in 3 different ways depending on occasion.
and..with no car, HOW TO GET TO SUCH GOOD FOOD?? you tell me lor..
Note: yes that's dao geh.. and i tried some ok (bout 4?).. lots nicer than the usual evil ones..
so i guess its not a big deal, forget the long hours spent since its virtual time anyway. the crux of the matter is in person, but the lack of it casts tiny doubts and shadows. but still, there is only one thought that continually surfaces each and every day that i wake. perhaps that is the answer to the solution i'll never get. perhaps it's fate, not destiny. i wonder if it'll ever end.
que sera, sera.
on a lighter note, damn i hafta figure out wat sort of colours will match my blue curtains. was supposed to turn out a richer turqoise to no avail! bah.
I did this test about a yr and a half ago, and i guess the difference reflects how i've changed since then. kinda interesting. cos i tink fundamentally i'm still the same, but my outlook on things and the social bit has definitely changed. (yes la social butterfly la.) kinda true, esp for these few months. havent really had time for myself. heh. others before self ma..right? ^^
anyways, it now says that i am an Encouraging Director.
You are a Director
As a DIRECTOR, you combine an unusual openness and passion for beauty and style with confidence and a down-to-earth sensibility that allow you to realize your vision.
You are practical and pay attention to the details that others tend to miss.
By focusing on what is real and concrete, you achieve more than those who always have their heads in the clouds.
When it comes to what really matters in your life, you are confident in your ability to succeed.
Having beautiful things in your life gives you pleasure and satisfaction - you have a keen eye for style.
Even when problems present themselves, deep down you know you will overcome these challenges.
When routines get too familiar, you become bored and start looking for ways to spice things up.
You are open to new types of experiences – you are not afraid to take a risk on something new.
You have a highly developed sense of taste – you know what looks good on you, in your home, and in the world at large.
You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.
You have a strong sense of style and value your personal presentation - friends may even seek your style advice from time to time.
If you want to be different: Occasionally let yourself dream a little more, even if it doesn't seem practical or efficient.
How you relate to others You are Encouraging
Your outgoing nature, understanding of others, and directness make you ENCOURAGING.
You want others to do well for themselves, and you generally believe in their abilities.
You often know what's good for people because of your caring nature and your worldview.
When you care about someone, you don't keep it to yourself: you are good at letting people know that you're thinking of them.
Because you trust people, you take violations of that trust very seriously.
You thrive in social situations, and even though you know who you like and who you don't like, you can interact well with many different types of people.
You have a healthy respect for people who have earned what they have, and you strive to be similar to successful others.
You are a loyal friend and a good listener.
If you want to be different: While you are an expert at getting the most out of the world and taking advantage of many experiences, you might gain some insight by taking the time to be alone, reflect on things, or just observe the goings-on in the world.
it used to be that i was a Considerate Director.
how you relate to others You are Considerate
You trust others, care about them, and are slow to judge them, making you considerate.
You value your close relationships very much, and are more likely to spend time in small, tightly-knit groups of friends than in large crowds.
You enjoy exploring the world through observation, quietly watching others.
Relating to others so well, and understanding their emotions, leads you to trust people in general, even though you're somewhat shy and reserved at times.
Your belief that people are generally well-intentioned contributes to your sympathy regarding their problems.
Although you may not vocalize it often, you have an awareness of how society affects individuals, and you understand complex causes of people's behavior.
You like to look at all sides of a situation before making a judgment, particularly when that situation involves important things in other people's lives.
Your close friends know you as a good listener.
You have a strong sense of style and value your personal presentation - friends may even seek your style advice from time to time.
If you want to be different: Because other people would benefit immensely from your understanding and insight, you should try to be more outgoing in social situations, even when they make you uncomfortable. Others will want to hear what you have to say!
updated the food blog finally, thanks to the one of the best sundays i've had. prob time to change its skin, pictures dont show up as well compared to a darker background.
finally had my meesua fix (no more beehoon!), met up with my FAGs for brunch/tea, then quick dinner (and a tub of awfully choc icecream) with a good fren. basically ate the whole of sunday away. rounded up with a couple of nice conversations and scrabble games when i got home.
It is for days like this, Times like that, And moments as such, That I go through it all.
This is a real test given by the human relations department at many of the major corporations today.
Me got 47.
41 to 50 points: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.
The color you choose is what you could identify yourself with.
Green is the color of healing.
Green personalities want to help every one. These people can usually be found in the medical profession or some occupation which helps people. Preferring to watch rather than to become involved in others business, they usually keep their thoughts secret. Others see them as good listeners because of this quality. This characteristic makes them wonderful counselors.
Green personalities make others feel at home in their house by putting them at ease immediately. They try to take care of others and they want harmony in every one's life. Green personalities may even stop an argument between others by starting one themselves. Green personalities make the best of friends because they are jovial, caring and can keep a secret.
In order for a green personality to feel good about themselves, they have to be helping someone or something. Nurturers by choice, they are the ones who take care of animals, humans and plants.
and something close to my heart hehe
If you were buying a cake and you had your choice of the following which would you choose?
and carrot cake it shall be! (tho the lemon meringue was tempting as well..reminded me of the lemon meringue tart i had in viet)
Carrot Cake - You are a very fun loving person, who likes to laugh. You are fun to be with. People like to hang out with you. You are a very warm-hearted person and a little quirky at times. You have many loyal friends. ok back to scrabble ^^
wahhh i'm damn bored la. i have nothing much to do now that half of phil and indo are away, and the decision makers are oso not around. wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i.am.so.bored.
i like it here cept i lack passion. bored.bored.bored.
finish archiving, sorting emails, filing things, doodling on my organiser, fiddled thru facebook, bah. even went to revamp my entire SOP lor. so free right? quite.
the announcement came as a pretty pleasant surprise amid all the speculation. but it also came as a reality jolt, serving as a reminder that time is running out, and opportunities abound out there. to stay in the comfort zone? or to explore wat the big wide world out there has to offer? both are as tempting.
