Help

March 31, 2003 Work/School Comments

I’ve started a forum for NUS arts and social science students. If you’re thinking who in the right mind would start a forum in pre-exams week, well that’s me. :(

I’m doing it for a project where the professor insisted that I post it online. !@#$ He’s just skeptical about the idea working. Posting it online is out of the project requirements, he thinks its so easy to get traffic? I think it’s as much work as building the whole farking site.

But nevermind, I’m having fun with it even though I would have prefer this to come at a better time, when exams aren’t creeping around the corner.

Ok this post isn’t all about venting. It’s to ask people to come and help open the forum. They are just not posting new topics! >:O And I want moderators that I knew, some people are offering to moderate but I would rather get people I knew well enough to trust. Er just send me an email or something. Thanks.

Friday Five

1. What was your most memorable moment from the last week?
Involved a towel and murky waters. Hur Hur.

2. What one person touched your life this week?
Nobody touched my life this week. This is such a weird question.. besides some problems with the choice of words.. it almost implies that having people touching your life is a common weekly thing.

3. How have you helped someone this week?
I lent my readings to a schoolmate. I’m so nice!

4. What one thing do you need to get done by this time next week?
Finish a damn website. 3 out of five modules deals with websites, if I could only read all projects requirements beforehand and manipulate all my project mates into agreeing to do a topic making use of the same website, this semester would be a gay breeze and I’d be flying along with it.

5. What one thing will you do over the next seven days to make your world a better place?
Ack… I really think I’m too insignificant to even bother.

Weee

Whoa, long post about handwriting analysis. Its rather accurate, not totally…but when it hits a nail, it really hits on it. Its unsettling though, the way I managed to score a full bar of independence just because I’m too lazy to attach dots to my ‘i’s.

I supposed I changed as a person because my handwriting changes over the years? I get irritated whenever I chance upon an old essay because I think my handwriting looks prettier then. One day, I’m going to analyse those as well. hehe

Anyway, both my sisters are lagging at home. They call the SARS a blessing in disguise. *rolls eyes* Sisters gets on my nerves.

Sister’s sms: Eh how to move my sims family to another place
me: Wa lao… I know you don’t have school..
sister: hoho quick la (2 times)
me: Dunno, read the manual…dun ask where

And the sims is mine! :(

Handwritting Analysis

March 26, 2003 Nerdette Comments

Personality Description from Handwriting analysis

To begin the analysis, the subject’s handwriting shows more of a fluency and flow than the average script. The writing impulse is unbroken and the words sweep forward with relative ease. This released writing indicates a generally easy-going and less conformist attitude than the average. The subject will prefer the unusual to the familiar, and will be more likely to express her emotions and feelings than a writer with restrained script.

The pressure used throughout the script is average in intensity, indicating that the subject is able to maintain a balance between too much activity and too great a degree of lethargy. As a result, she lacks the intense drive and enthusiasm shown by writers with heavy pressure, but will be equally tolerant of inactivity in those who use a lower pressure in their script. She will be good at working methodically at the more routine tasks.

The signature is written quite illegibly indicating some sense of superiority. Writers who scrawl their signature are saying that the reader of the document should know who they are, without having to actually be able to read the words. She is also conveying the impression that she is working at high speed under pressure, and this is all of her valuable time that she can spend on the issue.

The total lack of dotted ‘i’s in the script indicates that the subject is extremely independent in nature and many, if not all, of the following points will apply:-
She is very likely to be cheerful, resilient and placid, and will also be less concerned about the opinions of others. She will be less fearful of the future and more active in her approach to life. Because she seldom broods on past mistakes she will have a tendency to feel less guilt for her actions. Her resilience allows her to go through a crisis without experiencing as much stress or fatigue as the average person. She is a self-sufficient, resourceful individual who prefers to make her own decisions and resolutely stick to them. She is unlikely to be a great joiner of a group or movement and is even less likely to be a follower of others. In fact she may even be critical of social or group standards and could be rather lonely as a result.
As a child she may have tended to remain somewhat aloof. Possibly she was an early developer, who preferred to make friendships with older children rather than her peers. The missing ‘i’ dot therefore reveals certain characteristics of personality which are likely to lead to academic success. Indeed, the subject has an above average IQ, and this is not unusual for someone who has such a high level of independence.
She has a need for free sexual expression, and may marry late as a result.
She prefers to extract herself from difficult situations without the help of others, and prefers to be alone at times of emotional stress. She may find it hard to relate closely to another person, but when absorbed in a creative task she will tend not to miss friendships.

The subject is confident and dominant in relationships and can quite easily strike up a conversation with strangers. She finds it easy to ask for favours without feeling embarrassment and prefers to behave according to her own needs rather than those of She companions.
As a result she could well try to put herself at an advantage, even if it inconveniences those around her. The assertive personality is revealed by the height of the capital letters in comparison to the other ‘ascenders’. The subject uses capitals which are generally much larger than the other ascending characters. She is thus able to speak out forthrightly, defending herself vigorously when under attack and is able to talk quite frankly about personal matters without feeling too self-conscious.
In a quarrel she is likely to argue openly and will staunchly defend her rights .
The subject could make a good sales person, and is equally as effective at resisting sales talk. She is less likely to feel self-conscious in the presence of superiors, and does not mind their attention when engaged in a task which she can do well.
She is unlikely to hesitate over complaining about shoddy goods or poor service.
She also makes a good host, and can liven up a party.
If she feels the need to flout social convention she may do quite openly.
She has the makings of a strong leader, but in position of power may be intolerant of other opinions if they clash withhers. If prevented from expressing her views, or if she feels that she is not being taken seriously enough she may become quite irritated.

The handwriting shows some signs of expansiveness, and this is an indication of an extrovert personality. The writer has an above average need for space and dislikes being confined. This hunger for space is reflected in the script.
This expansiveness shows in the subject’s social relationships. She is likely to be more comfortable in company than on her own, and perhaps takes life more lightly than the average person. She may become quite easily bored, and often yearns for change and variety.
She is likely to express her feelings and moods quite freely, and is reasonably unconcerned with disorder or lack of control.

Certain embellishments within the handwriting indicate an above average level of worldliness and sophistication. The subject may attempt to appear more poised or sophisticated than the average person.
She may seem emotionally detached and superficial in personal relationships, even if her feelings are deep and genuine. She may sometimes appear sceptical in her approach to life and possibly has a lower faith in human nature as a result.

A number of artful simplifications in the handwriting show that the subject has an above average intelligence. She will be able to tackle a more intellectually demanding career than the average person.

There are a few indications in the handwriting that, at the time of writing, the subject was suffering from mild stress. This may be temporary, for example if she was upset, tired, or working against a deadline. However, the subject may be living at an unacceptable level of stress, one which is beginning to affect her physical well being.
These are warning signs in the handwriting, and indicate that the subject should pause and reflect on those aspects of her lifestyle which may be causing long-term difficulties. She should try to reduce them whenever possible, relax more frequently, check her diet, and perhaps take more exercise. Stress can be beneficial, but if allowed to get out of control, it may prove a hazard to mental and physical health.

Meeting

March 24, 2003 People Comments

I met up with my secondary school friends last saturday, my clique from secondary one and two. Haven’t seen them for a long time too. What’s up with all these meeting up anyway? I’d probably add the pictures into the gallery much later, uploading pictures is such a hassle. It was fun and we plan to go chionging this saturday at Chinablack until one of them back out. HMPH! I don’t know who is going now but the one who backed out used to be my bestest friend..so if she’s not going, I don’t really feel like going too…:)

1. If you had the chance to meet someone you’ve never met, from the past or present, who would it be?
It would be Eve…ya the apple girl.

2. If you had to live in a different century, past or future, which would it be?
Victorian period, I’m intrigued by that period, don’t know why

3. If you had to move to anywhere else on Earth, where would it be?
Probably Hawaii

4. If you had to be a fictional character, who would it be?
Alice from Alice in Wonderland

5. If you had to live with having someone else’s face as your own for the rest of your life, whose would it be?
Certainly not someone famous and if so, I wouldn’t know her name. It’s definately a her though.

Anyway, I’m in love with someone new! I melted and stained Tom’s bed when he sang “somewhere out there”. Aww… He just got to win the American Idol. Oh talking about stains, I got so sleepy after watching one episode of “Band of Brothers” that I fell asleep and drooled on Tom’s bed and erm pillow. Haha ya.

Exhausted

March 21, 2003 Bitchings Comments

The weekends is here, but so what? My weekend is packed and will probably overspill to monday. It’ll be crazy, just like the rest of this week. All the walls around me now are so tempting, I just need one to bang my head into.

My usual friday
0800: breakfast, prepares for school
1020: huffs and puffs into my 10 o’clock lecture, gives an embarrassed grin to the lecturer, graps a set of notes and sits down.
1200: Lags around with my jc friends
1300: Usually have lunch with one of my ex-classmate from theatre studies.
1400: Its either an alternate week tutorial or celebrating the start of weekends

Today is just crazy, I had to go to the library at the 5 minutes break and came back 20 minutes late for a second time. And now, obviously…I’m not at lunch. Ya and you’ll be thinking, “Then how come this girl is not doing her work?” I shall go back to it after I bitch.

Anyway, my school mates have been really helpful and understanding. The simple things that they offered to do, without me saying a word, makes my life so much easier. It probably don’t mean anything to them but I know how busy everyone is these days, with term papers soon to be dued and project deadlines approaching. Its really nice to see how everyone is helping each other getting through times like this together.

After this week, I’m really going to find some time to pamper myself.

It’s Illegal?

Erm, I certainly do not know that.

ahem..Tom, you read?

I’m sorry

March 19, 2003 Blurbs Comments

I know I shouldn’t blog about this, this being world wide web and all that.

*edits* Sorry, I reread what I wrote and decided that I shouldn’t take the chance until I graduate. It is a bad post. *done editing*

Can I talk about other things instead? Haha sorry if you are dying to know. :P
Anyway, Tom and I have been together for eight months. It felt way more than that. He gave me a weird gift, an Eminem poster…so that I could lust over at night? I don’t know.. maybe he was expecting me to swap my Christina Aguilera poster with him… but I have an inner lesbian in me, and I want the best of both world. Muahaha

Anyway, its been eight long months. When things are going well, everything’s just magical. When things are bad, it could get really really shitty. I just hope everything clears and will stay away for a long time.

Friends

I feel like making a new layout. This one is kinda morbid, and with the posts that came ever since its launch, I’m starting to wonder if it’s jinxed. Maybe, just maybe, if I do a layout on dazzling blue days again, my days would be dazzling blue too, again.

I went out with my primary school friends today. Haven’t seen two of them for eons because we totally lost contact. How we found each other again is too complicated to convey in a few short sentences and I’m lazy to write anything more. My primary six school clique, there were the four of us. Secondary school clique, four of us too. JC school clique, yes four. All unintentionally formed during final years when major exams are stressing everyone out.

Four implies death in chinese. Well you see, superstitions are not call superstitions for nothing.

I think we led very different lives since primary schools. We do have loads to talk and laugh about today as we recalled those nostalgic days when all that matters was fun. I had good fun earlier, laughed till I cried a few times, but I guess when we are all through with remembrances, there are really nothing much left to talk about.

I guessed I’m still the closest with my secondary school clique. We are so similiar that my boyfriend lumps us all together and condemns us as “ding dong girls”. I am really thankful for them because I know they are going to stick around for sometime… will be there when I get married, will be there to fight wrinkles together. Kinda warm in the tummy feeling when you think of it.

Miserable

March 14, 2003 Misery Comments

I’m sitting here on my lazy ass, wearing my oh so sexy tube top and low rise tight capri. I am supposed to go clubbing today but I woke up a bit too late and grouchy, I missed the first half of survivor. Besides they are playing retro at Madam Wong, that’s what my friend said. Maybe I’m just growing old. Its not the age but the mindset… tomorrow I shall have wrinkles and the next day my hair would start falling out. I think my friend is pissed that I didn’t turn up. I’m pissed too. I’m too unreliable, uncompromising, uncommited, way too laid back UNLESS I’m doing something I’m interested in. Whatever something it used to be is gradually turning into nothing. Everyday and everything is about school, I’m feeling so geekette.

I think I used to be much happier. If I read back, I think I’m annoyingly happy in my blog. There are times when things are going so well I really thought that I’m the happiest person in the world. Now I was thinking where the hell did that crap came from? Between then and now, I don’t know what happened. *shrugs* Maybe its just one of the downtimes.

I’m going to meet up with my primary school friends tomorrow. It’s been long and I heard stories. I’m excited and nervous at the same time, don’t know what to expect. I’ll give you the detail next time.

Anyways, Friday Five
1. Do you like talking on the phone? Why or why not?
No, I used to love it but not anymore. Don’t have the time and I can’t multitask so I felt stupid sitting there and just talking, staring into nothing… unless there is something to talk about and its late at night and there is nothing else to do. Then again, I’d rather sleep.

2. Who is the last person you talked to on the phone?
Forgot

3. About how many telephones do you have at home?
2

4. Have you encountered anyone who has really bad phone manners? What happened?
Ya of cuz…people don’t ever say hello and goodbye, straight and direct about what they want and who they are looking for. I like them.

5. Would you rather pick up the phone and call someone or write them an e-mail or a letter? Why or why not?
Depends.

Hmm out of boredom, here is last week’s friday five too. :/

1. What was the last song you heard?
Steve Perry, Foolish Heart. Is the last on my list.

2. What were the last two movies you saw?
Hot chick, forgot the other one.

3. What were the last three things you purchased?
Candies, pen for a friend, um…food?

4. What four things do you need to do this weekend?
Four!? I get dizzy spells just by looking at my to do list.

5. Who are the last five people you talked to?
My mum, Xinying, Sister, Dad, Tom

Oh you wanna look at photos?
Zoo Trip

I’m back!

The Cheeky Song by the Cheeky Girls – What kind of a stupid song is that? *rolls eyes*
All the Things She Said by Tatu – The song is annoyingly catchy and I was surprised it’s even legal. I like it anyway.

Logging off…I want to watch tv. The boys hogged the tv at the hotel room and watch nothing but soccer. I must say that my eyesight should improved after seeing so much green. I’m not complaining though, because Michael Owen graces the tv with his presence quite frequently. *lusty grin*

I’m sad. I think I’m going to talk to my bro later, he’ll help.

*edits*

This post is nothing but trouble. I will not be blogging, indefinitely. Bye.
