sane. insane?

How do one define one's relationship?

A boy + a girl = Relationship?

Nothing is definite. Things change, people change as well. Nothing is forever. How sad but very true! It all boils down to trust, honesty and tolerance. A challenge from Him whom I seek guidance from to light my way. This is much challenging than what I've been through 5 years ago. Nothing comes easy without effort. Endurance.

That's all.

11th month of year 2010

NOVEMBER.

Long story short, this post will be in point form.

  • Health deteriotated. Twice sick, 3 medical leaves and 4 times of visit to the doctors. How worst can that be? Wait for it. That's not even the peak yet. Bed-ridden with fever for 3 days. For my 22 years of life, I've NEVER been so sick ever. Guess the job has taken a toll on my body and sad to say, it is prone to illnesses from now on if preventive measures isn't taken accordingly. 
  • Ups & downs at work. My first job; its a whole new experience and a learning ground for me. Come what may, Im just playing my part. Even it wasnt for the department that I was supposed to be working for, at least Im employed. Obviously one has to be open-minded in this area. Afterall, its not the end of the day. 
  • I got my first pay! =)
  • Managed to celebrate birthdays. Mum's, Louis's & also his mum too. 
    
Louis's cupcakes!
  •  Most importantly, cant wait to head home. Home sweet home. Bad news is, gotta spend CNY 2011 in Singapore. My 1st NOT able to be with family & friends. *sobs*
  • Last but not least, everytime I say this, its gonna end up the other way round. Christmas is my favourite holiday season of the year, & Im always looking forward to it. So Im seriously refraining myself from saying it out loud BUT I just couldnt contain those excitement whenever I see those beautiful lighted Christmas tress all over the island. *faints*

1.2.3

That's the number for this post.

Initially, I promised to post up my scraps, but as usual, excuses which leads to procrastination.
Yada yada. What's new.

Its been a month since I've started working now. Difficult in the first place. But regaining momentum as time passes by. And quickly I should say. There's been lots of ups & downs obviously. Its all up to how one make used of the day regardless. As of for now, Im looking forward to CNY 2011 this time round. Home is where the heart is.

That's all for now.

Potrait of an ISFJ

Found this really interesting post by a friend from Facebook so, decided to give it a try. What am I to loose right. BUT the thing about this kind of test is the minute the analysis comes out based on your answers, one seem to really nod away believing that, IT'S SO TRUE!


Myers Briggs Personality Test MBTI Personality Test

Personality Test
(click the above for the test!)

Then the analysis part: The 16 type Portrait

So here it is of mine which I can say nearly 90% accurate?


Portrait of an ISFJ - Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging
(Introverted Sensing with Extraverted Feeling)


The Nurturer


As an ISFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you takes things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system. 

ISFJs live in a world that is concrete and kind. They are truly warm and kind-hearted, and want to believe the best of people. They value harmony and cooperation, and are likely to be very sensitive to other people's feelings (this part is true enough!). People value the ISFJ for their consideration and awareness, and their ability to bring out the best in others by their firm desire to believe the best. 


ISFJs have a rich inner world that is not usually obvious to observers. They constantly take in information about people and situations that is personally important to them, and store it away. This tremendous store of information is usually startlingly accurate, because the ISFJ has an exceptional memory about things that are important to their value systems. It would not be uncommon for the ISFJ to remember a particular facial expression or conversation in precise detail years after the event occured, if the situation made an impression on the ISFJ. (this is why my brain tend to keep 'informations' that are pretty much not needed, at the same time, preventing 'vital' input of informations).


ISFJs have a very clear idea of the way things should be, which they strive to attain. They value security and kindness, and respect traditions and laws. They tend to believe that existing systems are there because they work. Therefore, they're not likely to buy into doing things in a new way, unless they're shown in a concrete way why its better than the established method (I would like to think that its my own personality at fault here, but think twice, many people are of the same).

ISFJs learn best by doing, rather than by reading about something in a book, or applying theory. For this reason, they are not likely to be found in fields which require a lot of conceptual analysis or theory. They value practical application. Traditional methods of higher education, which require a lot of theorizing and abstraction, are likely to be a chore for the ISFJ. The ISFJ learns a task best by being shown its practical application. Once the task is learned, and its practical importance is understood, the ISFJ will faithfully and tirelessly carry through the task to completion. The ISFJ is extremely dependable. 

The ISFJ has an extremely well-developed sense of space, function, and aesthetic appeal. For that reason, they're likely to have beautifully furnished, functional homes. They make extremely good interior decorators. This special ability, combined with their sensitivity to other's feelings and desires, makes them very likely to be great gift-givers - finding the right gift which will be truly appreciated by the recipient. (great gift-givers eh?)


More so than other types, ISFJs are extremely aware of their own internal feelings, as well as other people's feelings. They do not usually express their own feelings, keeping things inside. If they are negative feelings, they may build up inside the ISFJ until they turn into firm judgments against individuals which are difficult to unseed, once set. Many ISFJs learn to express themselves, and find outlets for their powerful emotions.
Just as the ISFJ is not likely to express their feelings, they are also not likely to let on that they know how others are feeling (hardly true. I would just burst out to whom Im closed to). However, they will speak up when they feel another individual really needs help, and in such cases they can truly help others become aware of their feelings. 


The ISFJ feels a strong sense of responsibility and duty. They take their responsibilities very seriously, and can be counted on to follow through. For this reason, people naturally tend to rely on them. The ISFJ has a difficult time saying "no" when asked to do something, and may become over-burdened. In such cases, the ISFJ does not usually express their difficulties to others, because they intensely dislike conflict, and because they tend to place other people's needs over their own. The ISFJ needs to learn to identify, value, and express their own needs, if they wish to avoid becoming over-worked and taken for granted. 

ISFJs need positive feedback from others. In the absence of positive feedback, or in the face of criticism, the ISFJ gets discouraged, and may even become depressed. When down on themselves or under great stress, the ISFJ begins to imagine all of the things that might go critically wrong in their life. They have strong feelings of inadequacy, and become convinced that "everything is all wrong", or "I can't do anything right". (right to the point!)


The ISFJ is warm, generous, and dependable. They have many special gifts to offer, in their sensitivity to others, and their strong ability to keep things running smoothly. They need to remember to not be overly critical of themselves, and to give themselves some of the warmth and love which they freely dispense to others. (a change for a better good. indeed!)

Jungian functional preference ordering:
Dominant: Introverted Sensing
Auxilliary: Extraverted Feeling
Tertiary: Introverted Thinking
Inferior: Extraverted Intuition

when lainey meets gracie.

It's girlfriend day's out.

Mind you NOT just any girlfriend day BUT bestest girlfriend one could ever have. Ironically, its only in Lion City that we could shop to our hearts content. The last I could remember of our shopping spree was back in Pavilion, KL where she was coerced or you can say 'forced' by me to parade with all the shopping bags just for a picture. Memories. It was happy fun time back then.  I shop, she shopped too, we both did. It seems so yesterday. Fast forward. I guess its much more convenient over here mainly of transportation. And we could shop forever! Whenever these two girls go together, its HAVOC!!

Gracie was teased to have shop from Taiwan all the way to Singapore. Haha. Funny statement by her mum. It does really seems to be the situation here! Im just glad to be with her, spending time yapping away. Oh boy, Im already missing her.

Our day started with Bugis Street or rather hers to begin with. And the amount of shopping bags, let's not get started with that. When I was to meet her, she was ALREADY trying out a pair of shoe. Im completely baffled when she told me that it was not her first purchase for the day! Crazy woman! Haha. However, it was not the purchase that matters BUT the course of action in purchasing. As the saying goes, "Its not the destination that matters, rather the journey". True indeed. Lunging all her goods, we decided to head back to the hotel to unload those shopping goodies as we're supposed to head off to MBS. Its not really appropriate to carry those bags all around and before MBS, a quick detour for scraps. There goes another baggage there. Eventually, the rain starts pouring but it didnt hold us back as Miss I-Saved-The-Day here coincidentally brought an umbrella along so we're able to continue the journey throughout. Exciting I must say.

The evening was mostly spent in the casino and guess what? It's my first time of 22 years going to casinos; not one but TWO in 2 consecutive days. On top of that, a winning of S$20. All thanks to hun. We had so much fun just like two little girl. It was truly awesome where no words can ever describe it. Im already anticipating the next visit. Soon okay? =)

it shall always be

Life's ever so contradicting.

That's it for me for the time being. A few months back, mood swings, frustration is all that was clouding me. At last when the prayers answered, I have this mixed feeling inside me now. Nevertheless, spending 2 months staying with another family truly brings me warmth inside out. First, I get to be with the boyfriend all the time. Seeing him off to work, waiting for him to come home. That's my daily routine. Well, part of it. Now that Im leaving for home (even for a few days!), its all sappy once more. Moreover, with the rostered schedule for the both of us, Im skeptical about how often we could see each other later. Yes, I admit that indeed Im a pessimist. Living together with someone who's already a part of the family, in which being apart seems so grey. How I wish this wont come sooner.

Sometimes, one is too busy getting on with their daily activities and its not until when one sat down to ponder around, only when life's just too precious. Day by day, it passes by. Days to weeks and to months. Without realizing, I've been slacking for nearly 10 months now. Ah~ life's truly a bliss. For me, its definitely the other way around as Im mostly painstakingly trying to fill up my day with what to do, who to meet, yada yada and now that the REAL thing finally starts sinking in, Im equally depressed as I was before. Life! As contradicting as it could be. To begin with, I havent even started packing yet for home later at 11am, hoping that time could slow down. This is how denial I am right now, hoping that I could turn back time and relieve those moments back again. Every week, I only look forward to the boyfriend's off day. That's when we could really go out and just forget about everything else. Being the considerate girlfriend *ahem* sometimes, things dont work out according to plan as its unevitable. With the workload and the amount of hours put in, one would surely hope to sleep all day long and do nothing! Its all about give and take. Tolerance's the key here. Nevertheless, I sure did had some fun time with sweetie. He's a small kid at heart and never fails to irritate me regardless in which teasing each other everyday's the way we amused ourselves. Welcome to my relationship where every small detail counts. It may not be all rosy as every couple do have their own ups and downs BUT I tend to remember those happy moments of ours. =)

a breathe of life~

FINALLY! 

The revamp of my blog is too my liking at this state. Managed to pull through painstackingly. Phew!
Many bumps selecting a desirable layout/theme in which MUST suit to the selective taste of mine. FYI, IM THAT PICKY! OF EVERY SINGLE THING! So, as you can see, here's the BETTER layout of my blog. Hope it will stay for as long as it could be. Having to edit those HTML codes really kills me! With a lil bit of luck here and there, I managed to edit it according to how I want it to be. Colours especially. Whoever who created this layout, seriously! All white for the convenience? Gah. With a lil click through Google!, its a miracle for me to get through it all. Then there's a few additions to the site. (hint: sidebar) So tell me what you think?



That's it for now. Next up on my scrapbooking collections in which has become a major addiction.


Have a great Sunday.

just when you have too much time in hand..

Photo Booth is really addictive. It makes one takes silly pictures not just per take but FOUR at once in merely seconds. You wont even have time to think of what pose/expression of your face. This is where the fun is. Its so silly, Im gonna dieeeee...!! =)


Its only part of the collections that I have. This is the thermal effect. Of course my favourite would be sepia, but nevertheless, I've tried those presentable ones (black & white, normal).
FUN FUN FUN! As the title says it all, "Just when you have too much time in hand". About the rest, its a lil too private so, bear with the above ya.

Oh well, this is a total random post. Time to scrap again. Ideas ideas. Its about time it flocks in now. Aiming for something simpler this time round. We shall see how it pans out. Despite the budget, Made With Love products are tempting as usual. With the weekly product, one doesnt need an excuse to go shopping for scraps. Scrap shopping!!

Another picture I find amusing.

*Hello Panda with millk..? Interesting!*

Its another long weekend. With the Raya holidays, it makes me wanna go home and just spend time with families. Hmm. Oh well. Guess that's all for now. Enjoy your weekend.



p/s: Woody pie's REALLY ILL. He's falling apart now. Even the boyfriend agrees that its time to let him go. AND Im gonna hafta do the dirty work. Sobs. NOT until I get a replacement.

p.p/s: my insomnia picture of another post went *POOF* again!!! probably due to copyright. GAH!
