Your Brain's Pattern

You have a dreamy mind, full of fancy and fantasy. You have the ability to stay forever entertained with your thoughts. People may say you're hard to read, but that's because you're so internally focused. But when you do share what you're thinking, people are impressed with your imagination.

What Pattern Is Your Brain?

Agree XDDDD..what do u guys think about the last point?*looks around*...

You Are Somewhat Machiavellian

You're not going to mow over everyone to get ahead... But you're also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself. You understand how the world works, even when it's an ugly place. You just don't get ugly yourself - unless you have to!

How Machiavellian Are You?

*evil grin* at he last point..beware...lol...

Ahhh...tomorrow [^^]v...n I juz found out something that's so cool!..My Chinese n angmo B'days on the SAME day!!!...My whole family's reaction: "Go buy 4D!!!"..lol..but there's no 4D/toto on tues...LOL XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD...

Your Birthdate: September 27

Your birth on the 27th day of the month (9 energy) adds a tone of selflessness and humanitarianism to your life path. Certainly, you are one who can work very well with people, but at the same time you need a good bit of time to be by yourself to rest and meditate. There is a very humanistic and philanthropic approach in most of things that you do. This birthday helps you be broadminded, tolerant, generous and very cooperative. You are the type of person who uses persuasion rather than force to achieve your ends. You tend to be very sensitive to others' needs and feelings, and you able to give much in the way of friendship without expecting a lot in return.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

I so totally agree with the point about me needing a good amt of time to rest n meditate...i feel so drained out after a outing with frens/family or after an intense/irritating tuition session, i'll juz slack away a few hours or the rest of the night/even some of the next day...lol...

Slow and Steady

Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment. They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it.

How Do People See You?

I think the last piont is so me XDDDDDDD..i'll look at something i like then after a while decide to walk away to think more about if i really wanna spend $$$ on it, then after a while either forget about it or decide notto buy it...my sis hates that, that's why i avoid going shopping with her ^_^;;;...

Sorry, here's another one, juz felt like spamming XDDDDDDD..err...there's only 2 child in my family..LOL...XDDDDDDDDDDD

You Are Likely a Third Born

At your darkest moments, you feel vulnerable. At work and school, you do best when you're comparing things. When you love someone, you tend to like to please them. In friendship, you are loyal to one person. Your ideal careers are: sales, police officer, newspaper reporter, inventor, poet, and animal trainer. You will leave your mark on the world with inventions, poetry, and inspiration.

The Birth Order Predictor

You Are 21 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Ohhhhh...i'm real close to my physical age..goodie^_____^...but i think i'm still trying to find my place in the world....

Interesting Newspaper Articles file1(I.N.A.F)

yup..i'm back to my Straits Times reading phrase..lol..here's some exerpts from last weekend's The Straits Times that i wanna share wif u all^_^

1st up: DENGUE OUTBREAK "R u a mosquito magnet?" (Home, Sat Sep17 2005)
Prime factors:
(1) Scientist have found that genentics accounts for 85% of our susceptibilty to mosquito bites.
Excessive amount of certain body compounds on our skin attract mosquitoes. For eg, ppl with high conc. of steriods or cholesterol on their skin r prime targets.
This doesn't mean tt mosquitoes prey on ppl with higher overall levels of cholestrol, but rather those who r more efficient at processing cholesterol, the by-products of which remain on the skin's surface.
Ppl who produce excess amounts of certain acids, such as uric acid, r also targets for mosquitoes. Such substances trigger the mosquitos' sense of smell.
(2) Mosquitoes r able to detect movements which lead them to their prey.
(3) Mosquitoes r drawn to the smell of CO2 from one's heavy breathing.
Mosquitoes can smell their dinner from a remarkable distance of up to 50km.
Mosquitoes r usually attracted to adults rather than small children b'cos larger ppl tend to give off more CO2.
Pregnant women r also more prone to mosquito bites as they exhale more CO2.
(4)Latic acid pouring from the sweat glands also attract mosquitoes.

2nd: "Having Babies after the age of 35 'defies nature' " (World, London, Sat Sep17 2005)
Juz some main points:
"...Writing in the british Medical Journal, the specalist warn that in-vitro fertilisation(IVF) treatment carries no guarantees. In fact, it comes with a high failure rate n extra risks of multiple pregnancies where it is successful. "paradoxically, the availablity of IVF may lull women into fertility while they wait for the suitable partner n concentrate on their careers n achieving security n a comfortable living standard,"says the article. ..."Women want to have it all but the biology remains unchanged", says the article. ... They point out that 70% of women who haf one attempt at IVF do not achieve a live birth and that rises to 90% for women over 40, The Telegraph reported. ..."

Here's one that i really like...
3rd: "A toast to friendship" by Ignatius Low (think, the Sunday Times, sep 18 2005)
"... ... ...
Is the nature of freindship really changing for the worst in singapore(SGP)? (<--sounds so GPish XDDDDDDDDDD) I'm not sure if "Westernisation" is the right word to describe what is happening, but i can think of at least 3 reasons why we could b valuing our frens less these days. 1) SGPans haf grown more self-centred. This has been a question of necessity than anything else, since SGP has always championed meritocracy in a system that prizes self-reliance.
Whether it is making it thru' a highgly competitive education system, getting that plum job or making enough $$$ to buy a new house or car, it is "every man for himself". The price of falling behind in life is high n there is virtually no safety net for failure.
This is not to say, of cos, tt we will not stop to help a fren if he is in need. But we count the cost every carefully, i suppose, and think about how much a favour might night deduct from our lives.

2) A faster pace of life is increasing the premium that we place on our free time.
With only a few hours left to ourselves a week, we start to take an increasingly utilitarian approach to friendships, as if to try to get a bigger bang for our buck. ... ...

3) The more sucessful n affluent we become as a person, the more we seem to value our privacy. Yet the strongest friendships r between ppl who make themsleves vulnerable to each other by hiding no secrets.
So like the rich suburbanites who inhabit the hit tv series Desperate Housewives, we r fine with talking n laughing abt everthing under the sun at dinner or drinks, but the relationship lacks intimacy n we turn uncomfortable the moment a personal problem crops up.
most of the time, we do not want to get involved.
On the odd occasion when we do, we wonder if we r being too nosy. ... ... ...

Only to say that we r so concerned abt the weakening of family ties tt we run ads on tv to remind ourselves, but no one really pays attention to the spectre of fading friendships.
When u consider the increased stress that modern society puts on working adults these days, friends r underrated as a resource and families overrated.

We choose our frens, but wif the exception of our spouse, we never really get to choose our family. n much of our interaction wif family members is, in any case, guided by societal roles we r obliged to play - wat is d right thing 2 do as a gd husband, sis, father or daughther.
Wif our best frens, however, we can truly be ourselves. We tell them everything - d good , d bad, the doenright unsavoury. We heatly trade views on subjects like love, sex n $$$, allowing our thinking to b fashioned by their opinions.
In short, our families may have made sure we grew up well-adjusted but its is often our frens who made sure that we stay that way.

I can't count the no of times I wouldn't haf gone thru' a crisis or made an impt life-changing decision, had it not beeeen for my frens.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying tt familly ties aren't impt. Sometimes, as an added bonus, our famaily members r our frens as well.

But in a place like Singapore, where a strong, family-centred conservation clashes often with fast-changing cultural n moral norms, this is often not the case.

So here's to my shopaholic, gym-obessed, mahjong- and karaoke-crazy frens. And yours too, whoever n wateva they may b.

For "life leads the thoughtful man on a path of many windings. Now the course is checked, now it runs straight again,"starts a poem found in the I-ching tt has been attributed to the Confucius.
"but when 2 ppl r at 1 in their inmost hearts, they shatter even the strength of iron or of bronze."
"N when 2 ppl understand each other in their inmost hearts, their words r like sweet n strong, like the fragrance of orchids."

Hope u had fun reading the I.N.A.F1 n there'll be more to come in the future..most prob once a week ^_^..*phew* Finally finish typing..bleh..took me like 2 hrs lor..wah kaoz...my shorthand is getting really..lol...k..gotta go mark stuff for today's evening tuition...but b4 i go..Has anyone read today's Urban?
