the librian in me

I know its hardly the best time for this since i still hav lotsa stuff to cover. still we are so facinated by reading positive stuff about ourselves tt we can even forgo time to prepare for our exams! even if we dont (or shouldnt) entirely believe them.

Chapter 1: The Sun - Your Ego Structure

SUN IN LIBRA

You are a good negotiator and a natural diplomat, always seeking harmony and always seeing other people's point of view. You have a love of beauty, are inspired by ideals, and have an especially strong sense of justice. You want your surroundings to reflect your vision of the world which is oriented to beauty, harmony and balance. You are so friendly and so diplomatic that you may seem to lack resolve to others. You see infinite shades of meaning to each issue and it appears as if you are inconsistent. Your life improves when you don't procrastinate and when you aren't afraid to tell people your point of view even when you know they don't want to hear it. Be more decisive.

MERCURY IN LIBRA

Your mind is on a quest for perfection, harmony and beauty. You are rational and fond of comparison. You look for justice. You want the right answer, the right inflection and the right emphasis. When you speak, others will see you are incredibly polished and persuasive. Be careful you don't end up as some oily, back-bending huckster bent on selling through flattery. Have a position of your own and assert it up front, as diplomatically as possible. When circumstances aren't to your liking, you make premeditated adjustments for the effect. They can be superficial or even insincere. You are easily led astray because your mind is open to all points of view. Translate this into a higher intuition; then, your open, balanced fair-mindedness wins you respect from others and many good friends.

Lomo LC-A, a revisit

I havent picked up the lomo for quite some time till recently, finally got the pictures developed today..
some turned out ok, some others were terrible.

i nv really got used to it the last time, although my love for it still holds.. so i'll have to experiment more, will try to carry it around more often. the one below is one of my favourite! my nephew! cute hor!

hopefully the trip to Shanghai will be confirmed. looking forward to it! bintan shld be confirmed already, but I'm kinda worried; spas and massages aint really my thing.

anyway, i should really focus on preparation for my exams, only 6 days left.. seriously slacked too much this semester, but of course i'm smart so it should be ok. wahaha!

self confidence is crucial at times like this, even if its self deceit! so long as it prevents me from having a nervous breakdown.

My IQ ...

i took it before, not sure if its the same one, but i simply cant resist trying it again... twice even!

The first is the Super IQ test from tickle.

Your score is 131

Your overall intelligence quotient is the result of a scientifically-tested formula based on how many questions you answered correctly. But it's only part of what we learned about you from your answers on the test. We also determined the way you process information.

The way you think about things makes you a Creative Theorist. This means you are a highly intelligent, complex person. You are able to process information of nearly every kind with ease, using both creativity and analysis to make sense of the world. Compared to others you also have a very rich imagination.

How did we determine that your thinking style is that of a Creative Theorist? When we examined your test results further, we analyzed how you scored on 8 dimensions of intelligence: spatial, organizational, abstract reasoning, logical, mechanical, verbal, visual and numerical. The 3 dimensions you scored highest on combine to make you a Creative Theorist. Only 6 out of 1,000 people have this rare combination of abilities.

The second is from International High IQ Society.

I got a score of 122, when a score of 124 will qualify me as for membership in the society.
pretty cool huh.

My true colour is ...

Your true color is Brown!

You're brown, a credible, stable color that's reminiscent of fine wood, rich leather, and wistful melancholy. Most likely, you're a logical, practical person ruled more by your head than your heart. With your inquisitive mind and insatiable curiosity, you're probably a great problem solver. And you always gather all of the facts before coming to a timely, informed decision. Easily intrigued, you're constantly finding new ways to challenge your mind, whether it's by reading the newspaper, playing a trivia game, or composing a piece of music. Brown is an impartial, neutral color, which means you tend to see the difference between fact and opinion easily and are open to many points of view. Trustworthy and steady, you really are a brown at heart.

What's Your True Color?

drenched``

i went to get something engraved today, at Katong Shopping Mall i think. And i think i found my favourite engraving shop. cos i liked the uncle there, and he's using this old engraving machine where he's gotta use his hands. well, besides engraving he also does keys and sells stamps. A whole bunch of them.

Anyway after that, me and my sis went ECP to try out the food at a restaurant/cafe.. I got a whole pizza and she pasta.

Halfway through it started raining. It was a seriously heavy rain. When we were through with our food, we decided to run strategically back to the car, by running from shelter to shelter. Duh, it was quite useless. We were half soaked at e last shelter, and while running from there to the car - I slipped and fell, on my butt. It was embarassing, there were 2 guys at the underpass, and totally hilarious, at least my sis thought so.

Anyway, we got from mostly dry to absolutely drenched. When we got home, the rain stopped. It occured to me that we could have just waited 10mins for the rain to stop or at least not as heavy, before going home. But then again, where's the fun in that.

Masquerade

I’m tired of the mask
I’m sickened and appalled by it
But to remove it will leave me naked and vulnerable
Can I bear to be without it?
I want very much to
I do not know
Will I ever find out?

I’m trying
Bit by bit
It’s scary, it’s hard
But maybe, it'll be fine
And just maybe, I'll like it

There were times where i just get so tired of being someone i'm not..
i tend to keep to myself alot and it seems like there's this invisible barrier around me..

Feeling trapped and suffocated
Cant breathe
Then I realised
its not there at all
I created that barrier
I put it there
Why?
Out of fear of course
Out of the lack of confidence
Silly me, thinking the barrier could protect me
Oh how silly I was
For it also kept all the wonderful things from me
