Psychological Test

I had always enjoyed doing those psychological tests... cos they're so funny and nonsensical sometimes. Here is another test contributed by Lynn~

Take a piece of paper and write down the answers.. The analysis is in the end....

Situation:

You are in a deep deep forest... as you walk on you saw an old hut standing there
(1) What is the status of the door?
(Opened/closed)

You enter the hut and see a table...
(2) What is the shape of the table?
(Round/Oval/Square/Rectangle/Triangle)

On top of the table there is a vase... in the vase there is water.
(3) How much water is it filled up with?
(Full/Half/Empty)

(4) And what is the vase made of?
[(Glass/porcelain/clay) (metal/plastic/wood)]

You walk out of the hut... as you carry on your walk in the forest... you see a waterfall from far... there is water running down...
(5) What is the speed of the water?
(Choose a number ranging from 0 to 10)

Some time after the waterfall... you step on something hard on the ground... as you look down... you see glistening gold in colour. You bend down and pick it up... it is a keychain chained with keys...
(6) How many key/keys you see hanging on the keychain?
(Choose a number ranging from 1 to 10)

You walk on and on... trying to find your way out... suddenly you see a castle.
(7) What is the condition of the castle?
(Old/new)

You enter the castle and saw a pool of murky water with shining jewels floating on it...
(8) Will you pick up the jewel?
(YES/NO)

Next to the murky pool... there's another pool... with clear water and money floating on it...
(9) Will you pick the money?
(YES/NO)

Walking to the end of the castle there is an exit... you proceed to walk out of the castle. Outside the exit, there is big garden, you see a box on the ground.
(10) What is the size of the box?
(small/medium/big)

(11) What is the material of the box?
(cardboard/paper/wooden/metal)

There is a bridge in the garden some distance away from the box.
(12) What is the bridge made of?
(metal/wooden/rattan)

Across the bridge, there is a horse.
(13) What is the colour of the horse?
(white/grey/brown/black)

(14) What is the horse doing?
(still and quiet/nibbling grass/running about)

OH NO!!! There is a tornado coming... some distance from the horse. You have 3 options:
(i) run and hide in the box?
(ii) run and hide under the bridge?
(iii) run to the horse, ride on and gallop away?

<<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>>

Here are the interpretations:

(1) The door:
>opened door - you are a person who is willing to share
>closed door - you are a person who is keeping things to yourself

(2) The table:
>Round/oval - any friends that came along, you will accept and trust them completely
>Square/rectangle - you are a bit more choosy on friends and only hangout with those whom you think are on the same frequency
>Triangle - you are really very very picky about friends and there are not many friends in your life

(3) Water in vase:
>Empty - your life is not fulfilled
>Half filled - what you want in your life is half fullfilled
>Full - your life is completely fulfilled and good for you! :)

(4) Material of vase:
>glass/clay/porcelain - you are weak in your life and tends to be fragile
>metal/plastic/wood - you are strong in your life

(5) Flow of waterfall:
>0 - no sex drive at all
>1 to 4 - low sex drive
>5 - average sex drive
>6 to 9 - high sex drive
>10 - gone case!!! super high sex drive!!! Can't live without sex...

(6) Keys:
>1 - you have one good friend in your life
>2 to 5 - you have a few good friends in your life
>6 to 10 - you have a lot of good friends

(7) Castle:
>Old - shows that your last relationship is not a good one and is not memorable to you.
>New - your last relationship is good and it's still fresh in your heart.

(8) The jewel from the murky pool water:
>YES - when your partner is around you, you will flirt around with others.
>NO - when your partner is around, you will stick around with him/her most of the time.

(9) The money from the clear water pool:
>YES - even when your partner is not around you, you will still flirt around with others.
>NO - even when your partner is not around, you will still think of her/him and and will be loyal to her/him, not flirting around with others.

(10) The size of the box:
>small - low ego
>medium - average ego
>big - high ego

(11) Material of the box (outlook of the box):
>cardboard/paper/wooden (non-shining) - humble personality
>metal - proud and stuck up personality

(12) The material of the bridge:
>metal bridge - have very strong bond with your friends
>wooden bridge - average bond with your friends
>rattan bridge - you are not in good terms with your friends

(13) Colour of the horse:
>white - your partner is pure and good in your heart.
>grey/brown - your partner is only average in your heart.
>black - your partner doesn't seem to be good in your heart and appears to be bad sign.

(14) Horse action:
>still and quiet/nibbling grass - your partner is a very homely and humble person.
>running about - your partner is a wild type of person.

This the last but most important part of the test. From how I ended the story... a tornado approaches... What are you going do? There are only 3 options:
(i) run and hide in the box?
(ii) run and hide under the bridge?
(iii) run to the horse, ride on and gallop away?

Now, the above is signified by these things:
>tornado - problems in your life
>box - you
>bridge - your friends
>horse - your partner

(i) So if you choose the box, you keep your problems to yourself whenever you are met with problems.
(ii) or if you choose the bridge, you will go to your friends whenever you are met with problems.
(iii) or lastly if you choose the horse, you seek your partner whenever you are met with problems.

Hehe... hope you enjoy the quiz so far~

4.5hrs In Sentosa

The Initial Plan 4 To be at Sentosa on 28th Jan 07 @ 1130hrs J

The Actual Case 4 Arrived at Sentosa on 28th Jan 07 @ 1530hrs :(

The Reason 4 Overslept til 1030hrs and subsequently being "kidnapped" by a family of 3 comprising of a mother and 2 sons to go AMK Central and buy track pants, sell Nokia 7610 and buy SE K618i...

Here are the places that I visited at Sentosa... personally guided by Shirlene who had previously worked at Images of S'pore before~

Sentosa Luge & Sky Ride

"Once Is Never Enough"... that is their motto... and it is very true. Just when you are starting to know how to maneuver the Luge, you had reached the ending point. It's quite expensive thou... $8 for a one time Luge and skyride back to the top, and $15 for 3 Luge rides and skyrides. In order to save $, we took the cheaper rate *hehe*


Carlsberg Sky Tower

This is the tall tall tower where we can see the whole of Sentosa and some southern islands when the round round thing escalates to the top (131m above sea level). Think I'm the weak one... cos I feel abit giddy when the round thing slowly moves twice in clockwise direction to let us view the scenery. Here are some pictures I took before I puke.. (just joking lah *haha*) Hmm~ honestly speaking, I missed my SuperStar Virgo from the view~~ (gonna plan another trip there soon *hehe*). By the way, you could see the Luge track in the pic beside the Merlion... the long (but not that long) wounding track below the skyride.


Images of Singapore

This place is nice... tells us the history of Singapore... with alot of life-sized figurines inside, which most of them looked scary *oohhh*. But it's worth visiting if you're going Sentosa thou...

The nicely tanned and glossy coolies in their quarters

The hidden man whom you see when you open the "toilet" door beside the coolie quarters (almost scared me siah... lucky I open slowly)

Where is the Trishaw man?

The Fire-Walking Experience
(really very painful cos it's barefoot vs jagged surfaces)

Part-time advertisement for Ice Balls

Musical Fountain

The show starts at 1940hrs and the crowd started sitting as early as 1820hrs. We got our seats at 1840hrs cos Shir said the place would always be filled up latest by 1900hrs. I was so enthusiastic about the show cos it was said to be quite good. Finally after waited for an hour, the surrounding lights darkened and the host appeared in the spotlight. He greeted us and there were some simple water splurging movements... people clapped... then there was silence... with only the host doing some hand movements in the spotlight. Oh~ he was apologising to the crowd... cos there was some technical fault. So everyone waited...

A minute later, the same host appeared again in the spotlight and the same introduction speech was played again through the system. Suddenly there was a sense of déjà vu... cos the silence started again at the same point. I started to think... "am I so lucky?" The thought was then disrupted by the 3rd time of similar introduction by the same host (poor fella actually)... but this time the show extended til the part where the laser image of "Kiki" the Monkey appeared among the water, which was about 5 mins into the show.

The funny thing was... "Kiki" was hiding and appearing in the background, and suddenly it was gone... the system cocked up again~ and the show couldn't carry on anymore... No "Kiki" - no show. And no show means Ah sze wants to leave for home cos she's tired of waiting. It's such a disappointment~

By the way, I only managed to take a picture of the evil Merlion when it's eyes and mouth became orange during the evening, from the place where I sat at the boring Musical Fountain.

Brown Arrow

Anyone ever seen a bruise which looked like a brown arrow?

Now you can see one~~ on my left lower leg... appearing just nice below my bermudas... hahaha... wonder how it transformed to that shape after I accidentally brushed against the 70kg equipment box lying on the container floor on 24 Jan @ 0730hrs...

Brown arrow says : "This way please"

Mee Keow

What's "Mee Keow"? You may wonder...

Nope~~ it has nothing to do with "Mee Pok" or "Heh Keow"( Prawn dumpling)...

It's the name of a lady staff from the Accounting Dept of a 6-star Hotel at Raffles Ave.

So what's so interesting about her, that I chose to include her in my post? Well, she's got this damn bad f**king attitude when my buddy spoke to her over the phone pertaining to an overcharged issue previously mentioned in my post dated 25 Dec 06. To recap abit, my friend was overcharged for the same room package that we took up on the X'Mas eve and the counter staff assured us that the amendments would be reflected in the next creditcard bill. Unfortunately, that assurance was a fraud and my buddy called up to enquire.

That lady staff kept insisting for the room number that my buddy had previously stayed and despite giving her the confirmation number stated on the invoice, she claimed that she could not retrieve any useful information to process the claim. How could a 6-star Hotel not have any previous transaction records to fall back on? And how could we remember the 4-digit room number that we stayed a month ago? It's not as if that number had let us stroke lottery or something. Nevertheless, my buddy decided to end the conversation since it was pointless to carry on after some "blood-vomiting" sessions.

The next day, my buddy called up again and spoke to the Credit Manager, who immediately apologised and settled the issue within a short period of time. The great difference between those two were like going through Hell before reaching Heaven - that blacksheep had really tarnished the image of the 6-star Hotel *tsk tsk tsk*

The Portrait

My elder brother just mms me a picture... saying that it was a portrait of my sis-in-law when she is angry. Hahaha... and the infamous artist is their eldest daughter.

My brother is a daring man to say that~ hahaha...








<<---- a picture says a thousand words

The Long-Awaited Meet-Up

Finally we got to meet up with Lynn... after our last meeting on 30 Dec 2003.

It was a nice 4-hours gathering for the 3 of us, having ample time to have lunch, and catch up with whatever stuff that happened in the past and the present. Glad she's doing well in her studies and other stuff, and she's still as lovely as ever~ (that laughter is stll the same - happy & loud)

It had been almost 8 years, and we still looked the same... although we had matured intellectually (cos we dun look old, duh~). Gone through a psychological quiz given by Lynn earlier and it was fun... well it goes something like this >>>
  1. Which type of house would you prefer? How big will it be?
  2. Is there going to be a fencing around your house?
  3. There is a table in the house. What is on the table?
  4. In front of your house, which body of water do you see? Eg. sea, lake, pond, etc.
  5. How will you get over to the other side of that body of water?
    Do you get into the water or stay away from it?
  6. When you are in a jungle, what animal do you see 1st?
  7. What do you do when you saw that animal?
  8. When you reach a toilet in the jungle, there is a cup outside the toilet.
    What material is the cup made of?
  9. What do you do with the cup?
  10. I wonder why there is no question number 10 to make it as a round figure...

Well, for those who are interested in knowing the meaning to your answers, email me... cos I dowan you guys to disturb Lynn hahaha... although maybe she doesn't mind~ (but I do).

Anyway... on our way back to the MRT station, I managed to get her something free of charge cos of some 'connection' with the seller - roasted chestnuts (her fav). That was the only gift I can offer before she's leaving again on 1 Feb hahaha (cheap-skate). By the way, I really appreciate that she could find time for us cos her schedule is super packed... busy people is like that wan - need to queue up very long to get appointment fixed haha.

Here's wishing you all the best in your studies for the final semester!! Hope to catch up with you soon before we have to wait another few years to do so~

Zodiac Attractions

A friend told me today that Scorpios are especially attracted to Taurus....

Haha... that's a funny belief... some would say...

But somehow or rather, it could be true....

One may be a coincidence~

Two could be pure luck~

But three???

It's up to you to believe....

Easy $$$

Someone suggested to me... to arrange for a mating session for Fluffy the rabbit... so that when the baby rabbits are born, we can sell his kids for cash - mercenaries called that "Easy Money".

I rejected the idea...

How can we purposely let them mate and then sell off their kids just like that, even though they are animals? You could give excuses like "they (animals) also don't know" or "they (animals) also don't care"... but I still feel it's against the ethnics if you had plans for that.

Animal parents do have feelings too~ they would also take care of their youngs and shield them from harm, sometimes much more than humans do.

Humans are such selfish creatures where greeds often overcome their morality~

I do not yearn to be like them~ do you?

The Return of Lady Luck

Got the good news yesterday that the long-awaited bonus will be out in the coming Feb's payroll. Yeah!! Hopefully it's true... cos it was supposed to be mine since Sept 06~~

Maybe the news lifted up my spirits, so much so that I ended up spending an extra few more hours staying back in the office to settle some audit stuff til 1pm after my night shift earlier. Brought some minor tasks back home to finish up cos it's gonna be a busy month for me til end of Feb. Sigh~ busy busy busy again....

While entering this post, I received yet another great news from Koh at 2pm plus >>> my 379 was solved, with 2 out of 3 down!! Another Y-E-A-H for me hahaha... guess Lady Luck's back with me~

Welcome home....

What The Hell~

All of us thought today was the Judgement Day (finally) for the case which happened in Dec 2005 (almost becoming history liao) cos we had been waiting for them to fix the date ever since it was being postponed twice last year.

Today was the 2nd time all of us gathered in that conference room and once again, it was purely time wasting. I look at you, you look at me, I look at my paper, you look at yours, I take my 40 winks (meaning taking a short nap) and you take yours... all we did was wait... and wait... as if we were waiting for some kind of miracle to happen in the room. All of us got hungry while waiting from 9am til 11.30pm, and one by one, we roamed around the vicinity and started to chit-chat with each other. However, we were later told that it had to be postponed AGAIN til mid February 2007!!

We then asked ourselves: "What actually are we here for?"

Someone suggested next time we should bring some card games like Uno, to play while waiting. Well, it's true... cos they are basically wasting our precious time, especially those who had applied for leave from their outside work, to go all the way to that place, just to sit in the room and wait (in vain). If time = $$, I wonder how much hundreds they had wasted from about 12 of us for that 2.5 hrs.

Can somebody help us to tell them to hurry up with the thing so that we can move on? It's so inefficient... making us angrier and angrier at their slow pace of work. Arghh~~

World of Warcraft (Part 2)

Today... I made a big decision.

I cancelled my WoW subscription and deleted all the installed files in my computer. It had been my obsession once or twice since Sept 2005, but now I decided it's time to let it go~ until the time comes again to relit the passion.

I need more time to myself now... more time to relax my mind, more time to spend time with my friends and family. Heard from one of my close friend that his uncle was currently in the last stage of his terminal illness, and it was quite a sudden news to them actually - since the uncle had kept them in the dark for quite some time.

Misconception

I always had this conception that a market trolley was supposed to be a great helper when you need to buy alot of stuff from the supermarket or anywhere else. My mother had also been expressing her interest in getting one since months ago.

Earlier we went to Fairprice Xtra, and finally got ourselves a $10 blue metal trolley. We were quite excited in its usage cos we're gonna buy quite alot of heavy stuff such as 24 cans of Coke, 6 cans of Green Tea, 24 packets of Chrysanthemum Tea, 1 big packet of TOP washing powder, and 1 big bottle of Softlan, etc. But it turns out to be a turmoil for the 3 of us: me, mum and Shir.


1st of all, the front wheels are much smaller than the rear ones, so there wasn't much stability if you were to push the trolley forward, let alone coming across a small depession on the ground during the pushing. It was such so "malu" when the trolley toppled forward and some of the stuff dropped onto the ground. Lucky none of us fell onto the ground from the sudden surge. It was then that we told ourselves that it's not that much of a helper afterall, unless all 3 of us were so incompetent in handling the small trolley, which might be the case hahaha...



Anyway I volunteered to take charge of the unstable fella and I decided to pull it instead of pushing it, since the rear wheels are bigger and I did see some people pulling it sometimes. Well, it helps~ and when it came to the staircase, it was another headache for us. Mum and I had to carry each side of the trolley in order to overcome the steps and it was damn heavy lor... now Shir and me ended up being hungry again although all of us just had our dinner with my elder brother's family an hour before the whole incident. The blue fella was now kept in our store-room and all of us wonder when will be the next time we bring him go shopping again.

Sickening~

Been sick for almost two weeks now... down with "sexy" voice due to cough and sore throat initially, but escalated to blocked nose and super bad headache at a later stage. Only went to see the Doc once during the throat infection period and got myself some antibiotics and cough syrup, plus a day MC on 5/1/07. After that I continued working... and everyday was a bad day for me - had to juggle with the throbbing impact in the head and the other irritating symptoms~

I could feel myself almost fainting when I was on my way home yesterday after my night shift followed by an audit meeting... but of cos I managed to make my way home safely. I cant imagine myself collapsing cos it'll be so "malu-ing"... The overnight headache was so unbearable but the meeting had to be done. Not that I'm so hardworking... just that I want to get the meeting done and over with, so that things can get started earlier for the others.

I'm so tired...

I really need a break...
