A month has passed with just a blink, not that I have achieved much but certainly more fruitful (hopefully) stuff have been done. I have enjoyed the Taiwan overseas trip, get to know a bunch of interesting ppl, and most importantly, a short respite from the emotional ties and mental fatigue. But, 好景不长在, dad is just ailing by the days, as much as I hate to say, I know his days are numbered. I think he's just given up on himself, and I am just too tired and don't know how to motivate him. All I can do is to do whatever he says and ahere to his wishes. Right now, I just have to care abit about myself too, I know any further will cause a burnout myself. A very busy semester ahead with 2 field trips, 3 presentations, 3 individual essays, 4 mid terms, 5 grp projects and 5 exams, when you desire to get your hands on the NUSSU diary to remember the freaking amt of datelines/due dates, it's real time you need to work your socks out. The toughest sem lies ahead on the journey of my undergraduate days. I just hope to find some time in between to enjoy my favourites, soccer, tennis, mahjong, KTV, shopping and just chilling out with friends and turn 23 asap, call me superstitious or what, 22 is a bad year. A rocky path ahead but I have ascended to the Seven Stars Peak in Yangmingshan so what can resist me from proving I'm not a loser?
Sucks to be a human...being a robot w/o emotions and having batteries that can be recharged easily is much better, ain't it?

I've been spending quite a bit these few days, but luckily it's on food and not any impulsive buys. Don't fret, I don't have any eating disorders and with my high metabolism rate, not much effect will be seen. Sometimes I just wonder where do the food I eat go and I must admit I have a bit of constipation problems, so where the hell all the food go? Eating for me is just a wastage. But I am going to waste more food, dim sum buffet again later.... i have an aim to gain one inch of waistline so that I can fit more easily into office pants.

I am much better now. It's been a long difficult and torrid period but I am glad I am able to put some of it behind. I took a long time but the process is an empowering one. I was too raw in the past, having not faced any crisis in my whole life, no relationship problems, family issues, violence or whatsoever. I've always been happy-go-lucky, smiling and laughing my years away. Things won't be the same again, I don't think I will smile that often anymore, maybe it's due to age, I show less emotions and talk much lesser as I age. Special thanks to all my friends who helped me all along.
For now, I am contented with my life. Meeting up with old friends, JC, army, secondary, uni, cousins and any others I have neglected. Doing sports, keep fit and I want to live a bit longer, till 65 will be enough. Chalet, overseas trip, then get ready for the final push for a new sch term. Now, even a small Marks & Spencer eclair chocolate taste so nice, not godly but yummy.

Personality tests I've taken, quite a few of them, perhaps I'm too free.
You’re a Funshine Bear. You’re funny, clever, inventive, playful and you have a great sense of humor. You love to help others laugh and have fun!
Your Personality Style Description:
A team player, Teo readily relinquishes personal interests and goals to accommodate those close to him. He is loyal to a fault; but others may sometimes question his unwavering dedication to current relationships and methods. Teo values security, and usually does his best to avoid sudden changes in his environment or situation.Neat and orderly, others usually see Teo as practical. He needs adequate information to make decisions, and he will consider the pros and cons. He may be sensitive to criticism, and will tend to internalize his emotions. Teo likes to clarify expectations before undertaking new projects, and he will follow a logical process to gain successful results.Teo prefers a rational and moderate approach when first entering new situations and tries to avoid extremes. He likes the company of others, but Teo is equally comfortable spending a quiet evening alone. He is a realist who will always weigh his options before he makes a decision to move ahead.Teo would prefer things stay the same, rather than to risk a new venture (unless it is proven and true). He is typically peaceful and low key, and is usually seen by those around him as a good friend and listener.

"It is in keeping with tradition throughout our history that I should express simply and directly the opinions which I hold concerning some of the matters of present importance." --Herbert Hoover, Inaugural Address, Monday, March 4, 1929.
ISTJs are often called inspectors. They have a keen sense of right and wrong, especially in their area of interest and/or responsibility. They are noted for devotion to duty. Punctuality is a watchword of the ISTJ. The secretary, clerk, or business(wo)man by whom others set their clocks is likely to be an ISTJ.
As do other Introverted Thinkers, ISTJs often give the initial impression of being aloof and perhaps somewhat cold. Effusive expression of emotional warmth is not something that ISTJs do without considerable energy loss.
ISTJs are most at home with "just the facts, Ma'am." They seem to perform at highest efficiency when employing a step-by-step approach. Once a new procedure has proven itself (i.e., has been shown "to work,") the ISTJ can be depended upon to carry it through, even at the expense of their own health.
ISTJs are easily frustrated by the inconsistencies of others, especially when the second parties don't keep their commitments. But they usually keep their feelings to themselves unless they are asked. And when asked, they don't mince words. Truth wins out over tact. The grim determination of the ISTJ vindicates itself in officiation of sports events, judiciary functions, or an other situation which requires making tough calls and sticking to them.
His SJ orientation draws the ISTJ into the service of established institutions. Home, social clubs, government, schools, the military, churches -- these are the bastions of the SJ. "We've always done it this way" is often reason enough for many ISTJs. Threats to time-honored traditions or established organizations (e.g., a "run" on the bank) are the undoing of SJs, and are to be fought at all costs.

You are 85% Rational, 14% Extroverted, 0% Brutal, and 0% Arrogant.
You are the Robot! You are characterized by your rationality. In fact, this is really ALL you are characterized by. Like a cold, heartless machine, you are so logical and unemotional that you scarcely seem human. For instance, you are very humble and don't bother thinking of your own interests, you are very gentle and lack emotion, and you are also very introverted and introspective. You may have noticed that these traits are just as applicable to your laptop as they are to a human being. You are not like the robots they show in the movies. Movie robots are make-believe, because they always get all personable and likeable after being struck by lightning, or they are cold, cruel killing machines. In all reality, though, you are much more boring than all that. Real robots just sit there, doing their stupid jobs, and doing little else. If you get struck by lightning, you won't develop a winning personality and heart of gold. (Robots don't have hearts, silly, and if they did, they would probably be made of steel, not gold.) You also won't be likely to terrorize humanity by becoming an ultra-violent killing machine sent into the past to kill the mother of a child who will lead a rebellion against machines, because that movie was dumb as hell, and because real robots don't kill--they horribly maim at best, and they don't even do that on purpose. Real robots are boringly kind and all too rarely try to kill people. In all my years, my laptop has only attacked me once, and that was only because my brother threw it at me. In short, your personality defect is that you don't really HAVE a personality. You are one of those annoying, super-logical people that never gets upset or flustered. Unless, of course, you short circuit. Or if someone throws a pie at you. Pies sure are delicious.
Summary of Peacemakers
· Value personal freedom
· Particularly sensitive to the feelings of others
· Think of themselves as steady, gentle and sympathetic
· Others may mistake their quiet nature for weakness
More about Peacemakers
Peacemakers focus on the present and enjoy helping others in practical ways. They are sensitive to the world around them and take quiet joy from people and nature, particularly animals. Peacemakers value close relationships, but it may take time for others to get to know them.
Peacemakers are the most likely group to say they dislike reading history books, according to a UK survey.
Peacemakers live by a set of personal values, which they work hard to reflect in their everyday life. They would rather support an activity than organise it. When they do find themselves in leadership positions, they observe quietly and lead by example.
In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Peacemakers may withdraw and become self-critical. Under extreme stress, Peacemakers may become even more critical of themselves and others and make harsh judgements about minor issues.
Peacemakers tend to show someone how much they care about them by helping them in a practical way rather than putting their feelings into words.
Wen Jie, you are a Peacemaker.
Peacemakers "wear well' with others. With their moderate, controlled stance and modest demeanor, they are able to work well with a number of behavioral styles. Peacemakers are considerate, patient, and always willing to help those they consider friends. They build close relationships with a relatively small group of associates in the work environment.
Wen Jie, you are thoughtful.
In relating to people you are suited to a position in which you can provide an expert service as an insightful professional. This is because your thoughtfulness and sensitivity are very much appreciated by others who require considered, expert help from someone who also displays understanding and tolerance of their situation.
