TMX Day Out
We have had Girl Night Outs before this: we went to Kbox, Mind Cafe or dinner. But as the name suggests, those were limited to the girls which frankly speaking, includes almost everybody in the office except for Herman at one point of time.
The turnout for this official TMX outing was great. Everybody came with their other half and kids in tow. There was lots of food including Jestin's prata, Cyn's non-halal beehoon and Viv's chix wings.
We had originally intended to go to Sentosa for a picnic and I was so looking forward to the sun and the vball, but it had to rain heavily up till around 10am. Thankfully Zann managed to book the function room at Nerdy's condo.
I had plenty fun regardless, playing Taboo, Dai Dee, and Phase 10.
I think half the fun in this outing was planning it. Hopefully I'll get a chance to go to Sentosa with them at least once before I leave.
And hopefully we will have another Mind Cafe or Kbox outing before I leave.

The Brain Wiring Test
Most males will score between 0-180 point and most females 150-300.
Brains which are 'wired' for mainly masculine thinking usually score below 150. The closer to 0 they are, the more masculine they are, and the higher their testosterone level is likely to be.
These people demonstrate strong logical, analytical and verbal skills and tend to be disciplined and well-organised. The closer to 0 they score, the better they are at projecting costs and planning outcomes for statistical data, with their emotions hardly influencing them at all.
Scores in the minus range are high masculine scores. These scores show that large amounts of testosterone were present in the early stages of the fostal development.
The lower the score for a woman, the more likely she will be to have lesbian tendencies. Brains that are wired for mainly feminine thinking will score higher than 180. The higher the number, the more feminine the brain is, and the more likely the person is to demonstrate significant creative artistic and musical talents. They will make more of their decisions on intuition or gut feelings, and are good at recognising problems using minimal data. They are also good at solving problems using creativity and insight.
The higher is the score above 180 for a man, the greater the chance he will be gay.
Males who score below 0 and women who score above 300 have brains that are wired so oppositely that the only thing they are likely to have in common is that they live on the same planet!
The overlap
Scores between 150-180 show compatibility of thought for both sexes, or a foot in both sexaul camps.
These people do not show a bias for either male or female thinking and usually demonstrate a flexibility in thinking that can be a significant advantage to any group who are going through a problem-solving process.
They have the predisposition to make friends with both men and women.

Dreamy Idealist (DI)
For Dreamy Idealists, practical things are not really so important. They only busy themselves with mundane everyday demands when absolutely necessary. They tend to live according to the motto “the genius controls the chaos” - which is normally the case so that they often have a very successful academic career. They are less interested in details; they prefer to look at something as a whole. This means that they still have a good overview even when things start to become hectic. However, as a result, it can occasionally happen that Dreamy Idealists overlook something important. As they are very peace-loving, they tend not to openly show their dissatisfaction or annoyance but to bottle it up. Assertiveness is not one of their strong points; they hate conflicts and competition. Dreamy Idealists prefer to motivate others with their amicable and enthusiastic nature. Whoever has them as superior will never have to complain about not being given enough praise.
As at work, Dreamy Idealists are helpful and loyal friends and partners, persons of integrity. Obligations are absolutely sacred to them. The feelings of others are important to them and they love making other people happy. They are satisfied with just a small circle of friends; their need for social contact is not very marked as they also need a lot of time to themselves. Superfluous small talk is not their thing. If one wishes to be friends with them or have a relationship with them, one would have to share their world of thought and be willing to participate in profound discussions. If you manage that you will be rewarded with an exceptionally intensive, rich partnership. Due to their high demands on themselves and others, this personality type tends however to sometimes overload the relationship with romantic and idealistic ideas to such an extent that the partner feels overtaxed or inferior. Dreamy Idealists do not fall in love head over heels but when they do fall in love they want this to be a great, eternal love.
*Accurate sometimes. I never thought I'd describe myself as dreamy though...

A contradiction
Openness - 51%
This trait refers to the extent to which you prefer novelty versus convention. Approximately 5.5% of respondents have a lower openness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is down-to-earth and prefers things to be simple and straightforwards. You might say that it just makes life easier if things don't change unnecessarily, that the arts are of no practical use to you, and that you think tradition is more important than others do.
Conscientiousness - 40%
This trait refers to the extent to which you prefer an organised, or a flexible, approach in life. Approximately 11.5% of respondents have a lower conscientiousness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is impulsive and whimsical, and fine with it! From your responses it appears that you would say that sometimes decisions need to be made quickly, and that you make them quicker than most! You would say you are zany, colourful, and just generally great fun to be with... as long as someone isn't relying on you to get some work done.
Extraversion - 31%
This trait refers to the extent to which you enjoy company, and seek excitement and stimulation. Approximately 5.5% of respondents have a lower extraversion raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is quiet and somewhat withdrawn. Your answers describe you as someone who doesn't need lots of other people around to have fun, and can sometimes find that people are tiring.
Agreeableness - 51%
This trait refers to the way you express your opinions and manage relationships. Approximately 21% of respondents have a lower agreeableness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who people can find difficult to get along with when you first meet, as you can be suspicious of their motives. Your responses suggest that over time though people warm to you, and you to them, although that doesn't stop you telling them "how it is".
Neuroticism - 41%
This trait refers to the way you cope with, and respond to, life's demands. Approximately 46% of respondents have a lower neuroticism raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is generally calm. Based on your responses, you come across as someone who can feel emotional or stressed out by some experiences, however your feelings tend to be warranted by the situation.

Jungian Typology Estimate
ISTJ
Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging
ISTJs thrive on organisation. They keep their lives and environments well-regulated. They bring painstaking attention to detail in their work and will not rest until satisfied with a job well done. ISTJs are faithful, logical, organized, sensible, and earnest traditionalists. They earn success by thoroughness and dependability. Shutting out distractions, they take a practical, logical approach to their endeavors. Realistic and responsible, they work steadily toward their goals. They enjoy creating order in both their professional and personal lives. ISTJs are persons of thoughts and (sometimes) emotions. They prefer dealing with the present and factual, using various options to make decisions.

I just feel like taking a few days off, go to a nice resort all by myself, and spend all day and night reading, lazing around, and order room service. I'm sure I won't die of loneliness.
What's bothering me most is that I'm feeling this huge reluctancy to do things related to church. I'm fine with outings and all that; it's the responsibilities part I'm having trouble with. The worst is that I can't get myself to pray to Him. Not in corporate prayer, nor group or personal. I feel so distant to the extent that I'm reading a novel every night when I read my customary chapter for the day.
Today was Amy's last day at TMX. I hate separation, but it always comes around.
Work is piling up again.
This job has really shown me my many weaknesses. For the lack of better words, it has been a humbling experience.
I just finished reading Mercy by Jodi Picoult. Her books are controversial and this one talks about euthanasia, or mercy killing. As the story unfolds, I get the feeling that the story is not about mercy killing, but more on mercy itself. Or to make the difference clearer, forgiveness. In the book, the 2 main characters, husband and wife, are not the ones in the mercy killing, though they are very involved. The wife loves the husband more - 70/30. The husband is first attracted, then falls in love with the wife's new assistant.
I have this tendency of getting too involved with the books I read. I sometimes forget they are fiction and start to judge the things they do as if I were reading of it from a newspaper. As I read the book, I kept shaking my head in disapproval at the choices the husband made, and the things that were going through his head. What I most disliked was how he comforted himself at the end when the mistress left and he decided to stay with his wife.
But, I just love how the wife gathered all his possessions and sold them in a garage sale after she found out.
Then my mind started wondering. if my husband ever has an affair with another woman, and worse, falls for her, will I forgive him and continue ours lives like before knowing well that he loves somebody else?

1. iPod Touch
2. Bagsssss
3. Jack Johnson Albums
4. Anything pretty and frivolous that you think I will like

Happy Lunar New Year!
I hope that there will not come a time when I no longer get excited for CNY. I once read a book by Max Lucado, and it was saying that we no longer hate bedtime. When we were young, we used to beg our parents to extend our playtime even though we could barely keep our eyes open. Now, as teenagers or adults, we cannot wait for bedtime, cannot wait to catch a 15mins or even 1hr nap.
I think it is the same for CNY. It used to be highly anticipated when we were young. Nowadays, so many of us are seeking to go overseas during the two days hols instead of taking the time to get together with family and friends. Perhaps it is different for me. My extended family's quite close, thus we don't mind getting together. Whereas others may have horror stories when they meet their relatives during CNY.
On Tues, I received a very, how to say, pleasantly surprising email. That isn't a very apt description and is certainly an understatement. Let's just say that the email certainly lifted my spirits and encouraged me a whole lot. Hopefully I will not give cause to let her regret what she said.

Do I really not look stressed when I actually am? Good or bad?
It finally feels like CNY because I finally have the $$ for a shopping spree. :P Had a great time shopping with my sister and cousins yesterday (it's after 12 midnight now). It's funny how we're closer now that we're older. Very often it works the other way round doesn't it?
Anyways, back to work a mere 8 hours later. I'm really struggling to meet my boss's as well as my own expectations of myself. And I have yet to make up my mind wrt my further studies plan. I keep changing it. >_<
BUT, none of this is going to mar my CNY! Looking forward to steamboat sessions and gatherings! :))

A Message by George Carlin
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak!
And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
If you don't send this to at least 5 people....Who cares?

2008
I was reading through my posts in 2007, and I just miss school soo much! Can't believe that I went from student to work-er in the span of 3 mths. No matter how much I like spending my own money, being a student is still tops. Sigh, shall not linger over this issue anymore. If things work out, I'll become a student again! :))
And I miss Corrin, Denise, Jia Hong and even Calvin! :( Miss the crap we used to dish out on each other daily.
My life in 2007 was generally occupied by 3 main things: work, church and family. Not necessarily in that order. Working from 8.30am to 6pm everyday was sth I had some problems adjusting to because I was so used to short working days in school. Besides work, my other huge commitment was church and with so many things happening in the lower half of the year, things just got quite crazy. And the worse thing was, despite the large amount of time spent of doing God's work, I sort of drifted away from Him in the last qtr of the year. I have no idea how it happened. I just feel like, lost at sea now.
And it's like, when you spend so much time on some things, problems HAVE to occur. They simply cannot stay away. Real irritating.
But I think, the most changes occurred at work. It's a very very long story, and I don't really rmb the details so I'm not gonna tell it here. But to keep the long story short, my company got sold and is now known as TMX Show Productions. Lots of staff change now, and I really really really hope that things will change for the better now.
But I'm really scared that I cannot match up to expectations. Really really scared that I'm not competent enough.
Work was great because of my colleagues. I mean, of course there was a fair share of frustration, but overall, I still thank God that I managed to get this job.
Over breakfast on new year's day, a friend said that he was, perhaps still is, feeling apprehensive about the new year because he didn't have a good 2007. After hearing him, I got sort of depressed too. I feel apprehensive not because I didn't have a good 2007; in fact I had a great one. However, there are just TOO many unknowns this year in my life and I just feel so unsure of myself.
Anyhow, walking in the darkness with God beats walking in the light without Him handsdown. So, I shall have to trust Him. :)
Happy belated New Year everybody!
