Personality Type

I explored one of my friend's blog and i found this personality test. I think it explains most of my characteristics and behaviour so read on it ! :)

Groundbreaking Thinkers are charming, enthusiastic persons. They really bubble over with energy and like to take centre stage. They love variety both professionally and privately. Groundbreaking Thinkers tackle changes consistently with their optimism and firm belief in their own abilities; they are always on the look-out for improvement possibilities. Their excellent communication skills are of great advantage to them here. They approach the world with curiosity and openness and master new situations with a great deal of talent for improvising and with resourcefulness. Their spare time is taken up with a large number of hobbies; most Groundbreaking Thinkers like to travel in order to gather as many different impressions as possible. This personality type is unbeatable at discovering new possibilities.

Groundbreaking Thinkers are very critical and demanding when it comes to picking a partner because they look for the ideal relationship and have a very concrete picture of this ideal relationship. Mutual aims in life are very important to them. They do not like compromising and would rather remain alone. For the partner, it is often a challenge to have a long-term relationship with a Groundbreaking Thinker. Groundbreaking Thinkers need a lot of space and diversity or otherwise they become bored and feel cramped. Types who are rather more traditionalistic often have problems with the willingness of Groundbreaking Thinkers to take risks and their often crazy, spontaneous actions. However, if one can summon up sufficient flexibility and tolerance for them, one will never be bored in their presence and will always have a loyal and faithful partner.

A charmer like you rarely has a problem flirting, but because you are so demanding and particular, it still takes quite a while until you are interested in a partner and push things past the non-committal chitchat. After all, you are not one to spontaneously settle on one single person too soon - you are too afraid that you might miss too many other attractive options in doing so!

Besides, you secretly have a very clear picture of the ideal relationship in your heart, and you diligently measure all eligible partners by that. Since most of them are eliminated by their falling through the screen at the first go around, you often stay single for a relatively long time even though you are very sociable, spend lots of time among people, and have any number of contacts. You like to flirt, to have fun, to try things out, but you are only going to get involved in a serious relationship if you are totally convinced to have found your soul mate. Fortunately, your vision of a perfect relationship is admittedly a lot more realistic than one would expect because your thinking part makes sure that you don’t get permanently lost in quixotic concepts.

Adjectives which describe your type: extroverted, theoretical, logical, spontaneous, rational, innovative, intellectual, open, independent, curious, enterprising, analytical, clever, enthusiastic, venturesome, inventive, energetic, sociable, optimistic, non-conformist, creative, freedom-loving, charming, able to get enthusiastic, self-confident, communicative, capricious, inconsistent, outgoing

So what do you think? ;)

Short term discovery

I thought about how i'm leading my life recently and i discovered some things about myself.

1. I wanna go out on a date!

Yup, you hear me right. I wanna go out on a date. But it's kinda hard for me to do that now. Why, you ask?

First, i'm not studying in a college, so i can't really know a lot of people (especially hot guys!)

Second, i'm a piano teacher, and the music centre where i'm teaching don't have any guy teachers. Maybe one, which is the guitar teacher, but he's kinda gay so...u get the idea...

Third, i'm a piano teacher, so there are only plenty of kids and younger guys (or should i call them boys instead?) that are taking lessons there.

Fourth, i'm single.

I sound so desperate. Maybe i AM desperate.

In this kind of situation i guess anyone that are in my shoes will feel the same way. Or would you?

Anyway for those who are reading my post right now, don't just read. Do me a favour and introduce some nice guys that i can go out with. LOL. Don't worry, i was lying about the hot guys part. But i won't reject possibilities! Haha.

2. I wanna learn other skills like playing drums and hip hop dancing!

I was thinking about this stuff more nowadays coz i actually have the time to do it, but i can't. Don't have enough money la. Haihz.

Thought of learning through Youtube, but if you've got 6 people in the family trying to use one pathetic pc it's totally impossible to actually spend some time on learning how to dance. We even have to share using the pc at one time. Gotta get my own laptop someday!

3. I wanna get a car!

I'm tired of walking to my music centre. It's not really far and it's not like i have to walk everyday though coz sometimes my dad is free to fetch me.

But i would love to have the freedom to go anywhere i want without having to worry about the time and the place. Walking 15 minutes to the music centre under the hot sun is not something you like to do either. But i can't think of that now,coz still no money. Seriously, who doesn't wanna get a car? LOL.

4. I wanna sleep early and wake up early everyday.

This is one of the hardest things to do in my entire life. Not impossible if i gotta wake up early to attend class or something. What i really meant was to wake up early on my own will. Reasons why i couldn't?

First, i hate it when people command me to do errands early in the morning. I wanna wake up early to smell and feel the fresh air, not to take commands and performing tasks like housemaids. It's all my mum's fault.

Second, if i gotta wake up early, i can't go to yum cha sessions often anymore. For your info, i don't go home earlier than 1am if i go out to yum cha at nite.

Third, i'm not even sleeping early now. How am i supposed to wake up early then?

5. I spend too much time on the computer!

I can't really do anything about this. I've got too much time. It's either on the piano or on the pc. Do i have to say more?

6. I spend too much money on food!

Food. One of my biggest investment and weakness of all time. I love good food so i can't go on a diet. Wait, that's where most of my money goes! I think i'll go on a diet this time o.o

I think i better end now. Gotta sleep early and wake up early remember?

Nothing is coming out like how i want it to be. Sigh~

Rambling time!

I am starting to worry about my music course.

Last Saturday i was practising on my songs at my music centre but i got bored so i decided to take a look at what the other teachers are doing.

One of them who is also taking her diploma was practising her piece and i almost cracked from pressure. I didn't realise how hard it is until i saw her playing her piece. It took her 5 months but she was not done with it yet (as in the super tiny details in the song like expression, tonality and stuff like that). I was playing a grade 7 piece and i took 2 months to complete it.

She said she stopped for 8 months after grade 8 when she started pursuing her diploma and she took about 2 years to be ready for the exam. I stopped for 4 years! God is so punishing me for wasting my time NOT doing well in studies.

My dad got me a new pillow. I hope i can sleep better now. I haven't had a proper, dreamless sleep for almost 7 months. Maybe i should have written down what nightmares i had coz if i did, i would have about 200 different nightmares to tell by now. And if i wrote 1 nightmare in 1 page, I can actually write a 200-page book~! o.o

I wanted to get sneakers from DC, VANS, or Esperanza ! But i don't think i can get them from here. I wanted to get a pair of Avia sneakers from Echo Park the other day but they don't have my size. I was so desperate i asked if any of the other girl sneakers are available in my size. Guess what? There aren't any ! Argh ! I can't believe it. There's size 4 1/2 and 6 but not 5! I think it's a sign from God saying "You're not suppose to shop today". Or something like that. Sigh.

Ran out of things to ramble. Guess i'll try my new pillow now~! =D

Zzzzzzzzz.

Blank.

I've been doing a lot of thinking but i'm not sure what is it about or where it's leading.

I'm daydreaming way too much. I'm feeling lethargic everyday. I can't concentrate on whatever i'm doing. I'm having nightmares every night. I'm confused. I'm frustrated.

What is wrong with me?!

Sigh.

Goodbye, Sylvester.

"Sylvester had passed away...NIRVANA MEMORIAL CENTRE Sungai Besi...from sly and family.."

I was getting ready to leave the house to teach when i received this SMS. My mind went blank. Is this real? I called ee won, but it seems that she got the news from me. Then i called min xen, and he knew about it too. I was already late for class, but I still had doubts about the message. When i called James, i knew it was true. Sylvester was gone. He left all of us without warning.

I first knew Sylvester when we meet during Science and Maths Society. He was funny, gentlemen, and a person filled with life. Sometimes he'll sit beside me during lecture and we'll talk and laugh a lot. He was one of the friendliest guys i've known in life. He'll always tell me that he's happy with life whenever i messaged him. He's always positive and i've never seen him being sad or down.

I cried alot today. I would never expect God to take someone like him so soon. I regret that i did not ask about his condition when he said he was admitted into the hospital due to liver infection. I regret that we did not come out to meet after he left TARC. I regret that we have to meet today, not seeing you smile for the first time.

Our memories and good times will be treasured. May God bless you Sylvester, and rest in peace.

Sentosa Idol 2009

Today i went back to my secondary school coz i was invited to attend Sentosa Idol 2009~! If you're wondering what Sentosa Idol means, the name itself was a clue. Not getting it yet? It's a singing competition organised by the Acting and Dancing Club. And it wasn't just any invitation, i was actually asked to be one of the guest judges~! Cool huh? :P

It's quite fun since i get to determine the winners for this year's competition and i get the best seat of the house (obviously). I got paid, free food and best of all, i get to talk to the guest artist while we're having our break~! The guest artist that they've invited were Pei Chea, a local artist. He is also known as Dave Chai, one of the top 5 finalist in 2006's Digi Celebriteen, which was about 3 years ago. Google it if you wanna know what the hell am i talking about~! He's a really nice person and by talking to him i get to know the different perspectives when it comes to the music industry.

I know you guys like pictures so here they are~!

Someone gave me roses =D



Nah its just a token of appreciation from the club. Love it anyway~!
