Simple personality test: Left or Right?

First, identify yourself as right or left brain person:

1. Hold your hands together, as if you were praying.
Look at your hands. If you see

Left thumb is below the right thumb ---> left brain
Right thumb is below the left thumb ---> right brain

2. Fold your arms in front of you (as if you are angry)

Right arm above left arm ---> left brain
Left arm above right arm ---> right brain

Based on 1+2 (order important), below is the interpretation of your personality:

Right-Left
==========
Considerate, traditional, indirect type

can instinctly read other's emotion, and respond friendly by natures. Although not very into taking intiatives in moving forward, but this person will always take a step back in supporting others. Stable personality and considerate, give others a being protected feeling. But the weakness is they cannot say no; regardless how unwilling they are, they will take care of others.

Right-Right
===========
Loves challenges type

Straightfoward. Once they decided on one thing, will take action right away. Very curious, and love challenges. Dare to face dangers without thinking through (sometimes foolishly). Their weakness is they dont listen to others, will filter in only what whey want to hear in a conversation, and very subjective. However, because of their straightforward attitude, they tend to be fairly popular.

Left-Left
=========
Dedicated, cold, perfectionist

Very logical in all aspects. The only way to defeat (or win over) him/her is through reasons. Has a lot of prides, and feeling strongly about doing the right thing. If they are your friends, they are very trustworthy. However, if they are your opponets, they will be very tough to deal with. Because they can be very "anal" as a perfectionist, they usually leave a bad impression of being hard to deal with when first met.


Left-Right
==========
Likes to take care of others, leader type

Has a cool and keen observation ability to see through situations, yet still can be considerate in others needs. Because of their cool and calm nature, and strong sense of responsibility, they tend to become head of a group. Popular among people. However, they may not be able to help themselves in meddling because they want to take care of others too much. Very concerned about how others view them, and always
on alert.

Im a right-left personality person, how about yours?

Varieties to choose from..

Holidays is not here yet, neither is the exams. Yet i already got offers for jobs during the 7 weeks holidays.

Currently i only working part time and have the intention to work full time elsewhere. Here are the varieties i got over the last few days:

- My tutor offering a "holidays-only" job at $6.5 per hour
- Job agency contacted me this morning, enquired me about when is my vacation
- Friends lobang

I have the luxury to pick and choose which one i want, though is not certain that i will get it. And i dont even have to worry about nothing to do over the holidays because i still have my part-time job to fall on.

iPhone!!

If my dying phone can survive till next year, then i might get the latest handphone in town!!

Apparently, some people who cant wait to get the phone to be release in Asia next year, they went and buy 3 sets. Yet, they still cant make a call as the phone is not compatible in Singapore, not even tested by the IDA.

The phone is ahead in technology that it just need a button or a touch on screen to make a call and so much more.

The phone is slated to be released in the first quarter of next year or later.

I better start saving up now!!

Cold Turkey!!

I cant wait for the new season of soccer to start.. I cant wait to laid my hands on the football management game, "Football Manager 07/08". Although there is no news of whether this game is coming out or not, i only know that this game will come out every season around Sep or Oct.

The previous CD of "Football Manager 06/07" is in ruin as my old CD drive stop working and i totally forgotten about it until i try to play the game. It didnt work and i have to manually eject it out.. And the CD got the lens marks.. Win liao lor..

The joy of seeing your favourite team claim every trophy in sight like European Cup, domestic title, domestic cup. Players are robots, playing every single game to win. The joy of seeing your most hatred team kana beaten by a high scoreline that they dont know what have hit them. The joy of seeing well-known players signing for your favourite team. The joy of moving up the ladder to manage national teams. Singapore in World Cup? No problem. Play cheat lor, save game before the match.. lose liao, restart the game again.. win, then play against a tougher opponent..

At least this game can keep me occupy for one whole day without disturbance.. hehe.. then i can hack care about CowBoyBar..

Engine that stop working for 3 yrs

ok.. some updates.. changes in blog skin and tagboard.. i have decided to use my name for all tags blog rather than mistakenly using other names like "passer-by", "me", "stranger", whatever the names suggest..

its been 3 yrs since i touch a book as i was in army and in the working world.. and it have caused me to a slow start.. but luckily, i still have the basic foundation of accounts, business law, and excel.. the starting was the hardest.. is like a machine that stop operating for 3 yrs..

and before the 2 weeks of break.. had Common Assessment on Accounts, Marco-economics and Business Law..

i passed all of them.. but with contrasting results.. bleh.. Accounts no need to say lah hor.. lol.. Marco-economics, the tutor was stunned to see my results.. and ask me where i go wrong.. all i can say is silly mistakes.. she was expecting me to get high marks.. Business Law, i tot i would fail because most of the questions were on Misrepresentation which i didnt study due to some mix up.. but i pass beyond my expectation.. woohoo..

after the 2 weeks of break.. i know where i stand now.. and the engine in me is fully operational.. wahahah.. time to aim higher now..

and now, for no apparent reason, i kana aim by all the tutors.. in a good way of course.. kaoz.. and i dont like any bit of it...

Pent-up frustration

i can understand what he is going through and not only that, his buddy is also going to leave this company although i understand that he was going to become a full timer the last i heard..

he also ask me to come back and work with him.. lol.. well, studies still come first..

Pre Reflections 2007

2 weeks of holidays.. or some say, time to catch some breath..

in the last post, i will elaborate further into 3 parts..

Family

i realised that the time my family got into these problems is much longer than i thought.. yet they able to go through it without trouble is miracle.. in the past, im not aware of the problem as they ask me to focus on my studies.. so when i get to know about it after my ITE studies, it had already affected me very much.. but now, the thinking that i have all along is rather uncalled for, as i find it hard to cast it aside during studies.. with these 2 weeks of break, i hope i can set my priorities right..

Studies

my main aim was to get into poly.. now that i have got in, people have challenged me to aim for uni.. erm.. if im able to get in, it will be a bonus.. at least in ITE, the aim was there.. now is just to get the diploma.. that all.. haha.. wait till the first semester is over, i will know where i stand..

Working

2 months ago, i saw my colleague in this fast food restaurant.. i approached her for a job in it.. i was rather hesitate to work and studies at the same time as i did before.. and when i did that, i flunk my studies.. so you could say i have the phobia.. first time when she offer me, i reject straight away as they dont recognise my ITE cert.. when she offer me the second time, i consider and at the same time, seek friends' opinion..

firstly, im not very in need of cash.. is the thought of lessening my family burden.. secondly, the pay is low.. but i can gain some experience.. thirdly, exorcise the ghost.. hahaha..

Root of problem

I think i have changed.. for the worse.. not for the better..

The root of the problem comes from my family and somehow this problem has nothing to do with me.. yet i was strapped around it to my ankles and followed me wherever i went.. From NS, previous working place and now, poly studies..

Out of sudden, i find studies is a burden and i should have work instead.. Being the eldest son, the family of course have high expectations of me.. after graduate, coming out to work and able to provide extra income to my family. im very confused right now.. quitting studies for work seem the best solution.. but on the other hand, people been giving encouragement.. but i dont want encouragement.. i want a solution to my family problems.. is really tiring to have these metal chains strapped across the ankle..

is very difficult to focus on my studies when my mind is on my family problems..

i think i really need help.. desperately!!

NS story

guys who went NS.. sure got stories to tell.. somehow my classmates were curious to know what i do as a police..

i stare blankly at them and say, "play with dog lor!!" and also carry on about different job scope and places of deployment.. i also told them that we need to train the dog these commands, "Sit.." "Down.." "Stand.." and "Stay.." and we also use these commands on ourselves when the place that we deployed to, have nothing to do.. cannot play handheld games, cannot bring hp, cannot bring newspaper.. the only place that dont allow all these things is prisons.. and no, i didnt get to woman prison or the changi prison..

the prisons i went was queenstown remand prison, kaki bukit centre, and 2 more.. i forgotten the name but i know where is it.. haha..

Once i reach the deployment point, i take out the walkie-talkie, put on the table and command myself, "Sit" "Down" and the last command will be, with the snap of my finger, "Sleep"

That's my story as a dog handler.. not interesting right.. but the next 2 incidents make me abit regret my choice of going to dog unit..

i was on duty as a driver at the extreme east of the island.. so supervisor required me to drive to HQ, which is at the northern part of Singapore to fetch my colleagues and his dog.. straight away shoot through PIE.. so i was cruising at a normal speed in the middle lane at BKE.. then saw this malaysian lorry.. ROAD HOGGING in the middle lane.. bloody hell, driver sleepy is it or donno how to keep to left lane?? my instincts tell me that it was not the case, so i signal to the left lane and catch up with the lorry.. the very first sight that greeted me was the driver talking on his hp, without knowing that a police truck was at his side.. at that time, police was quite strict with drivers who talk on the phone while driving.. i keep staring at him while on the wheels.. i dont want to horn him, i want to give him a surprise..

he did a double take when he saw me.. lol.. he quickly put his hp down.. and i show him the body language, "Why? what so special that you able to talk on the phone while driving?" then he apologise.. i did not stop him, i just literally give him a second chance, i look again at his direction for awhile before picking up speed.. then from my rear-view mirror, he signal to the left.. my mind was thinking, "hai.. phone call so important meh??"

do you know what my colleague tell me when i told him about the incident?

"wah.. so good.. can use the authority to stare at people without kana complain.. i want also dont have.."

second incident.. again deployed as a driver.. i was on the way to do errands and stop at a T-junction.. the car infront of me didnt move at all despite no car.. "oi.. kin leh.. dont take your own sweet time.. got something to do leh.." and horn the bugger infront.. i think the driver saw the "POLICE" sign big big in front of his rear view mirror.. guess what he do next?? drive off??

he buckled up his seat belt.. wah lao.. im not TP lah.. at that time, i also didnt buckled up my seat belt.. then he drive off.. i overtake him and give him a confused look.. he dont dare to look up.. lol..

wearing the uniform never feels so proud!!

i think i should have gone for traffic police instead of dog unit.. sure hit the quota one.. haha..

1. never buckled up seat belt
2. driving while talking on a hp
3. driving under the influence of alcohol
4. if only this is implemented, signal!! hai..

First time with Jaywalk

yesterday meet up with Jay for the first time.. unforgettable night.. get to know 2 groups of friends.. one during dinner.. one during drinking session..

im skipping the dinner part.. straight to drinking session..

if the drinking session is all about beer and hard liquor.. then you are kana robbed by Jay liao.. i try 2 new drinks.. one of them, i think i need to get the recipe from him.. haha.. no name, nothing.. i only know drink it and bite the lemon.. taste heavenly..

second one.. gin.. seriously i never try this before.. i think im more suited to beer and hard liquor.. but with Jay around, i think i have to go for more training and try out different kinds of beer, wines, gin, vodka, whiskey, tequila..

first cup was double shot.. finish it though struggle with the taste.. second cup single shot.. i only finish 3/4 of the cup before Jay pour another shot in.. hong kan.. my mind already tell me if i go for this, i will head straight to the toilet.. it will be a waste throwing up all the good food that i had during dinner time.. i had expected what Jay going to do next: he ask the group to encourage me to drink finish it.. donno why, i go for the risk and game enough to drink 3/4 of it.. and off i went to the toilet.. i only know i vomit 1/3 of it out..

next time i know what to expect if i meet Jay again.. never have a full dinner.. have some room for drinks also..

anyway, Jay, thanks for the dinner and the drinks.. and also get to know friends through you.. i will add their blogs along the way.. erm, pardon me for the background if they happen to tag on my blog.. will change it as and when i have the time..

Decisions making

hate to make these decisions after thinking long and hard..

1. i have decided to use my ITE style of preparing for exams liao.. im not a person who is able to understand through reading.. rather i write down all over again (simplified style with important points).. Lectures and tutorial didnt really help even with notes..

2. i thinking of changing blog.. though blogger have fervently served me for 3 years.. it's time to move to a better place where interaction would be the top priority.. im not saying that people cant interact at my tagboard.. but i would have prefer if they identified themselves.. i would make an announcement when i have the new blog done..
(ed: after hearing from friends, i decided not to change..)

3. Being in poly for one month, i have seen a fair share of funs and anger.. not for me though as i have yet to be in that stage of anger.. Boys been boys.. they cant seem to take criticisms in their strive.. words have to choose carefully before telling them..

4. Relationships.. i think this point is considered the most important point to the readers.. haha.. but i purposely put it to the last.. firstly im not despo to find a gf as the age gap is too big for me.. secondly, the time is still not right for me.. thirdly, im still relishing been single..

Blog Makeover

at the moment, i dont have any thing to blog.. but on the other hand, i think it's time for a blog makeover..

anyone want to share their master script to the blog?? haha.. all contributions are welcome..

Blue-collared workers

today in class for business management tutorial when this interesting discussion takes place..

Teacher: "what kind of people will go to Starbucks?"

Classmate: "Blue-collared people........."

the moment i heard blue collared workers, my classmate is on road to humiliation liao.. for those people who dont know, blue collared workers are those people working in factory, manufacturing, technical kind of industries. The real answer was white collared people where they work in offices or banks. My teacher have a puzzled look when my classmate give her answer.

Teacher: "Any idea where blue collared workers work?"

Me: "Factories!!"

i feel so bad after class.. sigh..

anyway, i begin to feel complacent in accounts liao.. despite been the 4th week of school term..

the moment the first transaction had been explained, all my accounting knowledge comes back liao..

is like a jigsaw puzzle that you have done so many times for the last 2 yrs, you began to get bored with it, decided to stop for 2 yrs to try something new.. after that you chanced upon your jigsaw puzzle again, you decided to give it a try.. but then all the pieces you already know where to place liao except for some pieces that still need to figure out.. sigh..

Super Auntie

i finally saw the power of a super auntie..

i was on a bus on the way to school.. packed to the brim where people have to stand on the step.. what im going to witness next, will kow-tow to the auntie..

she knock on the entrance.. wanting to get in.. the bus driver LL.. open the door for her and let her in.. she use her elbow and push her way through, stop for awhile to tap her ez-link card.. and then take a deep breath, push all her way to the middle of the bus without saying "excuse me.."

i got two kinds of people who experience the auntie's shove and see how she shoved her way through.. and two kinds of stares at her, the kind of irritated that they have been shoved.. and another was the kind of admiration that the auntie was able to shoved her way through.. im the last kind..

two thumbs up for her.. though i was hesitate to show it in front of her.. and the fact that these kind of aunties, i seen it all.. wonder why so kan cheong to get on the bus given that the bus will not move till all have boarded the bus.. or is it because of the seat available on the bus.. is not as if this is the only bus running the whole of singapore..

oh, another thing, dont stand in front when the bus door is in front of you.. the aunties will push you all the way to the back.. dont believe, try it!!

Emo-ness

sitting on the cold floor of the bathroom, mind was not thinking about taking a bath.. though i was stark naked, my mind wanders to the past.. with my eyes closed, i reach out to the knob, and turn on the shower.. with water hitting on my head, tears began to flow down with the water..

"what have i done to deserve this kind of state or treatment?"
"what kind of friends are you all showing to me right now?"
"what is the purpose of putting the mask on?"
"why the need to tell lies to me?"
"why put a knife behind my back while you are smiling at my side?"

the natural breeze send a chill in me and awoke my senses to the reality.. i feel nothing despite the heater is not on.. all my mind can only read one word, "BETRAYED!!"..

anger have consumed my appetite.. sadness have taken away my happiness.. but somehow, despite the spiritual fall, there was a last ounce of energy in me to declare this, "time to move on..friends are measured by the trial of time.. friends are those who stay by your side despite bad times happen to you.. where are these friends? they are still staying by my side for the last 11 yrs.. though far and few, it enough for me.. the rest, i donno.. or should i say, dont push your luck?!"

optimistic in me is back, with a new scar shown at the back.. water have not wash my guilt or sin away.. but it show a reflection in me what i can improve on.. maybe mentally and the awareness to trust new friends..

with that in mind, i turn off the knob and dry myself.. and clothed myself to hid the scar..

Thanks for the scar you all have given me!!
