Signs of prosperity

Comment: i think you look good when you were trimmer :)

My reply: Did i ever look good? =P

Anyway, she was not the only one who commented that i becoming fatter.... haha, the 1st comment that i got from my frens at the jc reunion was that i more "prosperous" now....

No doubt abt it.... i admit tt a long time ago... felt that my health was not as good as before too...

Comment: So are u going to do anything abt it?

Well, yah, cutting down on my diet... started to exercise A LITTLE.... its a bit difficult to find time to exercise when u have tons of readings to do (yah yah, its an excuse, i know it myself =P).

Fortunately, though Ruldoph has never failed to remind me of my protruding tummy, she never mind my appearance at all. ^_^v

Thanks Ruldoph!

p.s. i can imagine HY reminding me of IPPT liao.... I still have my IPPT to clear..... ^_^;;;  ¶ 12:28 AM

  Tutorial quote

If everything is important, then everything becomes unimportant!

Makes sense?

Nope? Try again...

If A, B, C, D, E are equally impt for success, then losing A, would not make much difference because u still have B, C, D and E which are equally impt..... so A cease to become impt.... which was because it was impt in the 1st place....

Hehe.... the lecturer sorta "praised" me today.... and it isnt my major at all... felt a LITTLE proud of myself.... its been a while since i feel that.... ^_^  ¶ 12:02 AM

A sociable individual, Desmond is outward-looking, well-balanced and thoughtful. However, he is also pretty conservative by nature, and reluctant to adapt to changes. Unwilling to rely on others for financial or emotional support, Desmond will work harder than most to achieve his goals. Yet he is compassionate and supportive of others.
--- sociable? eh... ok lah, i got to know my sociable side when i into swaps.... since i get to meet more ppl. conservative, tts true..... usually dun like to take risks, and dun like changes....



Natal Month number: 7
Desmond is a good communicator and enjoys discussion, but he will avoid stressful situations and arguments. He is a fund of new ideas that spill from his active brain with great rapidity, but his business dealings will always be constrained by his desire to be liked. He therefore lacks those long-term goals that would bring him prosperity.
--- yup! like discussion! esp when i can hear ppl's point of view...... though like what was stated, would avoid an arguement when its something unimpt (e.g. views on love; unimpt bec ppl can have their own opinion and it doesnt concern me too much. but if its work related, i would argue...). desire to be liked..... i think tts so true of me.... bad characterisitc... trying to change tt

Desmond will work better in attractive surroundings that complement his appearance and character. A natural charmer with good taste and a sense of humour, Desmond has the potential to be an inspirational leader in the workplace. Although a good "people person", he tends to let money slip through his fingers all too fast.
--- charmer??? inspirational leader??? HAHAHAAHAHA.... doubt so....=P

Desmond is a balanced individual who can understand and appreciate the views of others as well as his own. He can express himself fluently, and with persuasive conviction, whilst taking account of opposing views. This means that Desmond will get on very well with colleagues at work, both senior and junior, as well as clients, customers, suppliers and external agencies. --- appreciate the view of others while taking account of opposing views...well, i think tts true for me =) i pride myself for being able to do that.... (hopefully its not biasness on my part)

Creative yet somewhat insecure, Desmond is a family-orientated person who enjoys domestic responsibilities. He could well be employed in the hospitality industry - perhaps running a hotel, or B & B venture. In an office environment Desmond will be valuable as the individual to whom others will turn for moral support. But home for Desmond is where the heart is, and domestic responsibilities will always be important. --- family orientated person is true... eh, ppl turn to for moral support? havent work yet.... dunno.

8

Good with details and with a methodical approach, Desmond nevertheless is someone who enjoys constant new challenges to maintain his interest. He is a methodical individual with attention to detail, but is inclined to leave tasks unfinished if his active mind alights on something of greater interest. Routine tasks that fail to challenge his intellect are at greatest risk, so Desmond needs a job that offers variety. ---- this is not true.... i dun pay attention to details... usually start from big picture and zoom into details... tts why usually miss out a lot of things...

99

Enjoying high intelligence, Desmond is inclined to look down on those who are not as intelligent as he. Hence he does not mix well with society in general, and in particular with different social strata. Yet Desmond is very ambitious to improve his lot, and will constantly strive for a better standard of living. He also possesses strong humanitarian ideals that may find expression in charitable work. --- hmm.. isnt this contradictory to what no 11 symbolise? well, 1st thing, i dun think i have high intellect... hcjc taught me abt what it really means by intelligence.... look down on ppl? eh... hopefully not, bec i been the receiving end of it before, and i dun like it.

[The Arrow of Scepticism: lacking the numbers 3, 5 and 7] Taking little on trust, in adult life Desmond requires solid proof before he accepts a concept. Characterised by honesty and fairness, he is quite intuitive, yet firmly sceptical of the claims made, for example, by religion. This may be important at work, if employers require employee acceptance of work practices that are not immediately verifiable. --- yup!! tts true! always skeptical, unless proven!

Desmond will make some money and enjoy a reasonable standard of living.

5

Emotionally well-balanced, Desmond is not too intense, and will reach the right decisions. However, with the numbers 2 and 3 in the Chinese version, the balance may be upset.

7

If the numbers 3 and 5 in the Chinese version are missing, Desmond is something of a perfectionist who seeks to achieve detailed accuracy, and has a natural instinct to unearth the truth. If the Chinese Grid also contains the numbers 3 and 5, he will be attracted to work in a spiritual or humanitarian field.

8

In the absence (in the Chinese version) of the numbers 1 and 6, he will be good with money and details. He will be happier if the Chinese grid includes the numbers 5 and 7.

9

Although Desmond is ambitious, his ambition is tempered with humanitarian ideals.

[The Arrow of Willpower: The numbers 1, 5 and 9] Desmond is somewhat stubborn and very determined. Holding strong opinions that he will voice without reservation, he will nevertheless reach his goals through persistent hard work.
--- stubborn for things tt are impt to me... and yah, i think i voice out my opinions too...

quite accurate eh? hmmm..... though i think its just my own bias... psychology has taught me not to believe too much in this sort of tests...

take the test?

Was a long day today.... after my 2 tutorial, was in the library for the whole day(from 12-5)... read up 2 cognitive psy textbooks and a few journals, as part of my research for my cog lab experiment....

cracked my brain thinking of the possible experiments i could do, and the necessary theoretical backup, and the possible problems of implementing the experiments....

met a few ppl as i was walking along the corridor today..... i guess i must have looked like a zombie, bec my mind was occupied on the experiments...was going thru all the ideas while i was walking.....

when i left the library to go to swaps table, the 1st comment by gene is "Hey, u look pale....".

they were talking abt the v-day song dedication thingy at the bench, and there was lotsa buzz abt it..... even hj was chipping in to help.

and i was there, physically there but not mentally there. hearing but not listening.... wasnt paying attention to them

neither did i think that they were paying any attention to me.

didnt care though, cos my mind was in a blank.

that must be how a zombie feel.  ¶ 7:39 PM

  To all that care

Thank you.

*bow deeply*  ¶ 8:48 PM

I felt stupid.

I felt unwanted.

I felt unappreciated.

I feel immature.

I feel that i can survive.

I will.  ¶ 4:28 PM
