Found this on selini perlini silver's blog. Haha kinda cool.

you chose BZ - your Enneagram type is FIVE.

"I need to understand the world"

Observers have a need for knowledge and are introverted, curious, analytical, and insightful.

How to Get Along with Me

- Be independent, not clingy.
- Speak in a straightforward and brief manner.
- I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts.
- Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable.
- Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity.
- If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place.
- Don't come on like a bulldozer.
- Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties, other people's loud music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy.


What I Like About Being a Five

- standing back and viewing life objectively
- coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects
- my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure
- not being caught up in material possessions and status
- being calm in a crisis

What's Hard About Being a Five

- being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world
- feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all
- being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be
-watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or technical skill, do better professionally

Fives as Children Often

- spend a lot of time alone reading, making collections, and so on
- have a few special friends rather than many
- are very bright and curious and do well in school
- have independent minds and often question their parents and teachers
- watch events from a detached point of view, gathering information
- assume a poker face in order not to look afraid
- are sensitive; avoid interpersonal conflict
- feel intruded upon and controlled and/or ignored and neglected

Fives as Parents

- are often kind, perceptive, and devoted
- are sometimes authoritarian and demanding
- may expect more intellectual achievement than is developmentally appropriate
- may be intolerant of their children expressing strong emotions

Wahaha!! The cartoon is so true. Ya ok I gotta admit I'm quite stingy. Usually.. But not overly anyway. And the rest of it.. Yup kinda like that. Except for the social pressures part.. Hmm. But I'm ok with the parties and loud music though. *grin*

Was busy trying to avoid AMR the whole morning. She's always in a foul mood when she sees my brother or me. Always so wonderful seeing my mum or grandma, then when my brother or me goes downstairs, she will have this astonishing ability to change her happy, smiley face to a black, sullen and grumpy face. And we're lucky if she doesn't shoot out some rude remark at us. Oh.. just bear with it.. my grandma will say.. How long more can we.. when we have to stay upstairs every saturday, for the entire day, when she's here. No ps2, no bball, no piano, no ddr.. And it's damn sian crammed in one level for hours. That is why, saturdays must be spent going out!!

Went shopping for out burrito buffet with my brother after lunch. Haha damn fun. Cuz we were buying lots of nonsense like marshmallows and doritos, when we were supposed to get burrito filling instead. Sigh. And staring longingly at the oreo klondike. And strawberry cheesecake. And haagen daz ice-cream. After buying a hundred and one things, we walked back all the way from united square with all these super heavy plastic bags. So to ease our dying arms, we found out a way to make the bags seem lighter. Swing it. The higher the better.(not along the main road of course. or we will die of maluation)It seriously does feel lighter and it makes you walk faster too! Haha. Was damn ridiculous!!

The chess peepz were having national individuals today so popped by for a while. Wah hougang is so far!! Didn't realise till I was on the purple line. Yes purple line. It's so much more recognisable by colour. Always keep mixing up north-east and north-south. Isn't it easier to call all the lines red line, green line, purple line??

Ya anyway. After finding hougang sports hall, which is totally out of the way from the mrt and can't really be found by just looking at the locality map, finally felt this sense of familiarity again. The whole place with flustered parents, lots of people and lots of chess boards. Although at first I thought I would feel kinda out.. so was having mixed thoughts about going.. cuz I didn't really know the people who just joined. Only know blee and some sec3 and sec4 ij people.. And also was afraid I couldn't really get to see them much cuz was thinking the whole time they'd be playing. Or if they'd just hang out with their bunch of friends and I'll be like quite left out..

But instead it was really welcoming. =). Saw Mr Tu. He's back! Thought he went back to vietnam for good. Saw amy and jon tan too. Haha quite surprised to see them there. And talked to connie. Didn't see that gal for so long already but yup, was quite nice talking to her. I want her O level results!! Heh ok nvm about that. Wednesday is already inching closer. Gotta rush for driving theory after that. Bleah.. of all days.. But yea.. Saw the aj peepz too.. jia le, russell and samuel. Ahaha. Feel so at home!

Cj is doing quite well heehee. After blee's scary last game, he won 4 out of 5. Think evan got that too. Erm.. rite? Yes yes we have a chance of winning and maybe there's a chance of getting a treat from the winners too, as long as they get some sort of trophy or medal.. *biggrin* 4 rounds to go to see the outcome. And maybe ij can get loads of medals too.. =D..

~Tired but wide awake

Realised how idiotic it is pretending to audition for singapore idol in the privacy of a lift in office areas. There are stupid security cameras.

Results results..
Good luck for 1st march guys!!

After blogging so lazily this year, I feel super out of touch with this. I think there's a link between not blogging and feeling antisocial.. for myself at least. It's like, I suddenly lose the tendency to take notice of things to write about. So, when I do go out with people, it feels like there's nothing much to say. And now I'm also feeling so self-conscious of what other people will think after reading everything. Bleah. Gotta get back into the habit.

And everyday feels like I'm living through a daze. During the As, there was so many things to look foward to during this looong break and thinking of all the cool stuff to do. And now, hardly doing much of that, or actually doing them but feeling that it's more a chore (such as working and learning driving theory) rather than something to do for fun kinda sucks. Yes yes it's all to do with the state of mind. Easy to say. But these days it's also depressing to know that there's no time to relax much. Gotta work, earn money, send LOADS of photos =_=", exercise, pack room, reading "how to be happy", study some more.. And even if there's time to chill, everyone else is working. So it's quite hard to squeeze time out to meet up.

But I guess. What makes it all meaningful is when we DO find the time to meet up despite our hectic schedules. And crazy colleagues of course :).

Yesterday was amazing. Was checking out this new place for lunch (turned out to be an air-conditioned hawker centre. chey..) and guess who I saw walking out. NIC!!! Omg looong time never see her already!! Ok got la but hardly talked that time. So anyway, she went back into the place with me and did some power catching up. Cramming what happened to us since after december in 15mins, which was the time she had left for her lunch break.. Haha, she is working so near my mum's office and I didn't realise!! For 2 weeks already! And the coincidence grows.. Since yesterday was Jo's first day of work at mosburger, and nic and I finish at the same time (which is the one and only day I finish relatively so early) ,and Aud was going to visit Jo for dinner, we decided to give Jo and Aud a surprise visit at mos!!! Haha. After so long, the 4 of us get to meet again! But Jo wasn't at the cashier that day. Only in charge of the drinks. Very generous with the lemons for my ice lemon tea. Haha! And ya it was not sour. Tasted quite nice surprisingly. But that's because it was nicely diluted. Mwahaha! Haiya should have used my camera to take the picture of her in the uniform. Then can put it up la. =(.. *evil grin*

So cuz jo was at the cashier today, aud and I visited her again!! Quite a good cashier! Treated us like proper customers. Not sui bian or bo chap at all although she could easily have been. Heehee. Some more repeated the order and told us what change we'd get. K la worth all the money for that little bit of apple pie. But we're also very loyal customers too. Stubbornly queued up at the row where jo was serving food although some other guy wanted to take our order at the other cashier. Haha. Window-shopped around a bit before leaving. Hmm.. those balloon skirts are quite amusing.

Full combo for daikenkai standard. Finally =)

Swinging lazily in the gentle breeze
Gazing at the big, fat moon
Watching birds fly past every now and then
And humming a random tune

The days are whizzing past so fast. But it's been a wonderfully hectic chinese new year. Working and then splurging on serious retail therapy and clubbing, then getting back all the money from angbaos, visiting and catching up with friends, while attempting to get more money from blackjack along the way. Haha anyway this year is like one of the best blackjack sessions, with the two aunties working in dbs and posb playing as the power blackjack-banker duo and winning tons of money from all the poor relatives. Quite funny to play. Then was quite suay when I became the banker. Especially playing with my grandmother (paternal side one).. She actually got three 7s. Wah lau. Lucky she only bet $1 la. So hardly earned any blackjack money this year bleah.

Anyway, today was one MAD day. Mwahaha. Went speedwalking with auddie the applehead from united square all the way to little india (which is surprisingly near! haha can walk there to do brows already =D) then to somewhere near bugis, though we somehow walked about in circles and never got to bugis junction. Was exploring OG, but was perpetually blocked by all the ah-mas.. Btw, found out that they have cheap and good office and sports wear! Like.. $13 for this stylish office-y top! Checked out this place next to sim lim too.. Think it was fortune centre..? Erm, ya anyway, there's this small shop that sells all sorts of yummy korean food!! Was staring at all the korean chips, hollow cereals filled with chocolate and peppero. *grin* Oh and the kirimi (cream) soda too =). Went over to peace centre after that and was polluting the arcade with all the noise playing guitar freaks afterwards hurhur. Damn fun!!

Went to orchard later after walking around millenia walk. On the way there, we were checking out ymca, the one slightly after nlb, and they have this bhangrarobics dance lesson!! And martialpilates (or something similar to that) lessons. Wahaha so interesting.. Bleah felt a bit weird though, as soon as we were around somerset area. Everyone was wearing damn nice and we were looking like we just came from tp stadium.. Haha.. never dare wear such things to orchard la. Met jiacheng, sey and gerald for a while and was seeing jiacheng's army photos. My gosh ns looks quite fun.. playing with the camouflage paint and digging holes and all ahaha. Though jiaC was saying that the day they got to take pictures was their break/break-day/day of break?? (Oops wadya call it..) Actually intended to walk back to novena after that, but we were both soooo tired so cheated in the end and took bus back.. Mwahaha finally got a good workout after so long.
