Everyone seems to be having more bad days than good.. Is it the wind? the year? the economy? the life changing events?

I hate feeling down in the dumps… but I hope..anyone out there who needs a listening ear.. I am always here

By the way.. is it just me or.. the lighter your bank account.. the more dental problems occurs? Thank god all my wisdom tooth are gone save for the 5th one that seems to be behaving herself.. (It’s a her because she’s bahaving)..

Anyway! just my random thoughts.. I thought I should pen them bit by bit otherwise it all stays in my head.. In all honesty? I cannot wait for 2009 to go…

I would like to recommend all my friends to read The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. Please!! if it’s the one book you buy this year…let it be The Kite Runner!! I couldn’t put it down… It was not only an eye opener for me..but it’s made me realised A LOT A LOT of things without disclosing anything about the book.  The book is about the lives of two boys growing up. One, well to-do and the one, a doting and humble friend.  Sorry.. I really cannot give the summary without getting friggin excited about it.. Aiya…go and read the back cover lah…Please do not stupidly go and read the blardy spoiler or go into wikipedia .. Just TRUST ME!!! READ THIS BOOK!!!!!

AFTER you’re done reading the book THEN…and ONLY THEN… can you go watch the movie/dvd..

I have read both The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns and both are just so special in their own way…

A Thousand Splendid Suns- the movie is still in progress.. and that book..I could not put it down and basically finished reading it in 3 days. I absolutely could not put it down! Didn’t I say that already?!! I owe it to the author for sharing his gift of story telling to the rest of the world. So beautifully written… I wonder who could top that.

Times are bad at the best of times. So much about news of the economy picking up for some, it’s still hearsay. To top that all, our personal problems are somewhat multiplied/magnified. I just hope, all of you as friends, colleagues, family member to make the effort, spare a minute and ask someone close to you,

How are you doing?

It’s so easy to bury ourselves in our own daily worries and easier for us to just dwell in it and remain in our own bubble. Let’s help each other along during these trying times and just spare a minute from our woes, you won’t miss anything… plus you know your problems won’t be solved in a minute. So turn around and ask around if people are doing alright

Your Personality is Very Rare (ENTP)

Your personality type is optimistic, curious, enthusiastic, and open. Only about 4% of all people have your personality, including 3% of all women and 5% of all men. You are Extroverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Perceiving.

How Rare Is Your Personality?

I am sure there’s more to that than what this quiz is trying to tell me… Here’s what I found out further about ENTPs…
Profile: ENTP
Revision: 3.0
Date of Revision: 26 Feb 2005

“Clever” is the word that perhaps describes ENTPs best. The professor who juggles half a dozen ideas for research papers and grant proposals in his mind while giving a highly entertaining lecture on an abstruse subject is a classic example of the type. So is the stand-up comedian whose lampoons are not only funny, but incisively accurate.

ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue–both for its own sake, and to show off their often-impressive skills. They tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil’s advocate. They sometimes confuse, even inadvertently hurt, those who don’t understand or accept the concept of argument as a sport.

ENTPs are as innovative and ingenious at problem-solving as they are at verbal gymnastics; on occasion, however, they manage to outsmart themselves. This can take the form of getting found out at “sharp practice”–ENTPs have been known to cut corners without regard to the rules if it’s expedient — or simply in the collapse of an over-ambitious juggling act. Both at work and at home, ENTPs are very fond of “toys”–physical or intellectual, the more sophisticated the better. They tend to tire of these quickly, however, and move on to new ones.

ENTPs are basically optimists, but in spite of this (perhaps because of it?), they tend to become extremely petulant about small setbacks and inconveniences. (Major setbacks they tend to regard as challenges, and tackle with determin- ation.) ENTPs have little patience with those they consider wrongheaded or unintelligent, and show little restraint in demonstrating this. However, they do tend to be extremely genial, if not charming, when not being harassed by life in general.

In terms of their relationships with others, ENTPs are capable of bonding very closely and, initially, suddenly, with their loved ones. Some appear to be deceptively offhand with their nearest and dearest; others are so demonstrative that they succeed in shocking co-workers who’ve only seen their professional side. ENTPs are also good at acquiring friends who are as clever and entertaining as they are. Aside from those two areas, ENTPs tend to be oblivious of the rest of humanity, except as an audience — good, bad, or potential.
Some Famous ENTPs:

Alexander the Great
Confederate General J. E. B. Stuart
Sir Walter Raleigh
Fictional:

Mercutio, from Romeo and Juliet
Horace Rumpole, from John Mortimer’s Rumpole of the Bailey series
Dorothy L. Sayers’s detective Lord Peter Wimsey

A Functional Analysis — by Joe Butt
Extraverted iNtuition

ENTPs are nothing if not unique. Brave new associations flow freely from the unconscious into the world of the living. Making, discovering and developing connections between and among two or more of anything is virtually automatic. The product of intuition is merely an icon of process; ENTPs are in the business of change, improvement, experimentation.

The attraction Extraverted iNtuition has toward the real and physical amounts to a cosmic non sequitur: theory is drawn to practice. Such encounters are clearly puzzling. Both parties–the intuitor and the realist–are aware of a xenic quality in their meeting, with reactions ranging from recoil to reverie.
Introverted Thinking

Thinking is iNtuition’s ready assistant, an embodiment of the sort of logic found in laws, boards and circuits. Thinking’s job is to lend focus and direction to iNtuition’s critical mass. The temporary habitations of changeling iNtuition are constructed of Boolean materials from Thinking’s storehouse. Ultimately, Thinking is no match for iNtuition’s prodigiousness. Systems lie in various states of disarray, fragmentary traces of Thinking’s feverish attempts to shadow and undergird the leaps of the dominant function. One can only suppose that Thinking must continue to work during REM sleep pulling together iNtuition’s brainchildren into integral wholes.
Extraverted Feeling

To the extent that Feeling is developed, ENTPs extravert Feeling judgment. As a result, it is not uncommon to find affability and bonhomie in members of this species. Tertiary functions are potentially utilitarian. Their limitations appear in their relative underdevelopment, diminished endurance, and vulnerability. ENTPs may harness Feeling’s good will in areas such as sales, service, drama, humor and art. ENTP loyalty often runs high and can be hooked by those the ENTP counts as friends.
Introverted Sensing

Like a tail on the kite of iNtuition, Introverted Sensing counterweighs these beings drawn to nonconformity and anarchy. These shadowy sensory forms, so familiar to SJ types, serve as lodestones which many ENTPs employ Herculean measures to escape. “Question authority! (then do exactly what it tells you)” sums up the dilemma in which ENTPs may find themselves by attempting to best the tarbaby Sensing. Occasionally acknowledging awareness of norms and abnormality could, in theory, be potentially freeing.

Additionally, I’ve noticed that ENTPs have the need to have areas of expertise/excellence/uniqueness in which one is second to none. I’ve never beaten an ENTP at his/her own game–not in the final analysis. (e.g., just tonight, my neighbor who is recuperating from an illness received a call from an ENTP friend offering his special recipe for tea. The instructions required only the finest ingredients, a particular brand of orange juice, tea made with a ball–none of those horrid teabags–…, which will of course make the best tea of which he himself drinks 50 gallons each winter!)

You Are a Dipped Cone

You are dramatic, deep, and even demanding. If you’re going to do dessert, you’re going to go all out with something super rich. People might be surprised to know that you worry about how you’re perceived. You’ve got an image to keep up, and you don’t ever want to appear weak.

What Frozen Treat Are You?

My parking attempt!! Hehehehe.. I couldn’t be bothered to correct it Suffice to say..poor hubby didn’t wanna be seen hanging with me nearby the car

It never cease to amaze me how people love to meddle with other people’s affairs. What I am taking about in particular this time is married couples. Why do people think it is their business to give their worthless 2-cents worth of idiotic input? Hold it right there before you shoot me. Married couples made vows to each other. Yes there will be times, they would argue and sometimes you may hear about it cause one of them is so upset they needed a third party to listen to them. Now..when that happens… could you please make an effort to remind him/her that it’s not all too bad instead of stirring shit?? If they get a divorce in the end and one of the factors leading to said event was due to your worthless input… do you think you can REALLY sleep at night knowing you have caused the drift? Of course if the problems are waaaaayyyy serious.. e.g the other party if having an affair and the other spouse doesn’t know what to do.. May I then suggest, you give the spouse a positive suggestion? Instead of making matters worse than it already is?

Many a times when I am out at gatherings, I would hear the wife going.. oh bla bla bla.. he just feels strongly about me doing xyz… I can assure you almost immediately, ONE rottenbrained idiot immediately jumps to her defense and go ‘WHAT? Well who does he think he is?! Girl just because you’re married doesn’t mean you can’t do xyz’  I just looked at that stupid baffoon and said to her ‘Er.. do you realise if what you said caused a drfit to her and hubby, her hubby can actually sue you?’ I wasn’t trying to be clever rather, I was trying to instill some form of realisation in one of her tiny membrane that one should really shut the fuck up if one’s name is not on that couples’s certificate.

Couples on the other hand are responsible for filtering out the advise they get. I really cannot believe all your friends are pyschologists and qualified counsellors. Please do not take advise blindly. Sometimes, people get envious and then purposely try to stir shit between u and ur hubby. If your hubby really detest pink for a living room color and you really want it and everyone knows this arguement has been going on for a long time between u and ur hubby.. Please do not allow some idiot to dwell on that topic and stir it up further. If some of your friends thinks it’s funny . Tell them, it’s not.

If I am not clear enough by now.. It’s a show of unity and loyalty between u and your hubby my dear. If you allow other people to influence your married life trust me…something’s got to give. Don’t be afraid to shut the empty vessel up. Your partner will appreciate you nipping it in the bud in public and save u both of any embarrassment of arguing for real in public. Hell… your other half will respect you for it.

No one and I mean NO ONE should be ordering what married couples should do. They can offer advice and it’s up to you and your other half to take it or leave it. NEVER the other way round!

Doesn't look too bad I think...

I thought I would follow Jemil’s idea and learn not to be so materialistic. This is very hard having being brought up wearing a different dress everyday and I mean, worn-once-and-never-again kinda thing. At least that’s what my mum did when I was growing up. Anyway, I thought I would make a conscious effort and use the standard Oyster Card holder as my everyday card holder. Only to have Jemil tell me,

‘Err.. why don’t you get a proper card holder?’

‘Why? I thought I was doing my bit to be unmaterialistic what…’

‘Ya..but that thing looks like shit’

‘Aiyaaa………. ‘

Interior look..
