Let the holidays begin!
These two girls are good! Pretty and sing really well! Listen listen! Their harmonising is very very well done! They are Sonia and Janice, a pair of Korean twins born and raised in Sydney, Australia. This is a cover of Officially Missing You, originally sung by Tamia.

I have 6 types, 3 pairs of the same score. I always knew that I'm very mixed in many areas. Like I'm this and yet I'm that, that kind of thing. Anyway the top has the highest score (in brackets) while the bottom has the lowest. Even my highest and lowest scores aren't that high/low.
(4) Type 1: The Reformer - the rational, idealistic type & Type 2: The Helper -the caring, nurturing type.
(3) Type 3: The Motivator - the adaptable, success-oriented type.
(1) Type 9: The Peacemaker - the easygoing, accomodating type.
(-1) Type 4: The Artist - the intuitive, reserved type & Type 8: The Leader -the powerful aggressive type.
(-2) Type 5: The Thinker - the perceptive, cerebral type & Type 7: The Generalist - the enthusiastic, productive type.
(-6) Type 6: The Skeptic - the committed, security oriented type.
Type 1: Reformer - The Perfectionist
Perfectionists are realistic, conscientious, and principled. They strive to live up to their high ideals.
How to Get Along with Me (actually all these sound logical what, doesn't everyone hope all these will happen?)
1. The reformer - The aggressive ideal-seeker
"Your best teacher is your last mistake." Ralph Nader
Reformers. The underlying motivation of the 1 is to be RIGHT, and to avoid being WRONG. Reformers are the most compulsively rational of the types, and the perfectionist is another name for this type. Average 1s are driven by their "inner critic", an inner set of standards that tends to be quite rigorous, and independent of what other people tell them. Hence, the average 1 is very self-critical, and also critical of others when they expect the same high standards of others that they have imposed on themselves. Ones get much of their energy from anger, and at best, this energy is channeled into discipline, organization, a strong work ethic and a love of fairness, justice, and truth. At worst, they become rigid in their thinking, psychologically trapped by their own rules and principles and becoming self-righteous in a way that, although logically correct, is not helpful to themselves or others.
1s like to confront problems head-on, but this proactive energy may not always be immediately apparent to others. Introverted 1s may be extremely prim and proper, even rigid, because they turn their energies inward against their own impulses and spontaneity. However, other 1s can project considerable energy, even becoming abrasive, if their passions turn toward ideals, such as social justice, that involve the world as a whole.
Famous ones: Hillary Clinton, Ralph Nader, Judith Martin (Ms Manners), Martha Stewart, Confucious, Aristotle, Queen Elizabeth II.
1s and 5s are occasionally confused for each other because they are both analytical, and both appreciate detailed, accurate, information. The scientific method is based on a mixture of type 1 and type 5 fixations. However, 1s think to ensure correctness, while 5s think to understand and intellectually conquer their environment. Fives are oriented toward ideas, while ones are oriented toward ideaLs (capital L for emphasis). Ones feel bound by rules and principles, while 5s do not.
Many 1s identify with type 8, probably because both types are driven by anger. However, 1s are guided by principles and logic, whereas 8s are driven more by willpower and a lust for power.
Type 2: The Helper
Helpers are warm, concerned, nurturing, and sensitive to other people's needs. (ya... I think I'm so nice... Wahahah)
2. The helper. The embracing power-seeker
Helpers focus their lives on giving and receiving love. This personality is one of the most emotionally expressive, and one of the most focused on human relationships. At their best, healthy 2s bring a special interpersonal touch to almost everything they do, empowering others with their unrivaled desire to make others feel special, important, and loved for simply being themselves. It is uncommon (though not impossible) to find a 2 in high-profile leadership positions, or in a job that emphasizes analysis at the expense of human interaction.
Highly nurturing at their best, less healthy 2s show a darker side of their personality. When unhealthy 2s help others, it is merely to make themselves feel more important. They may offer "help" that seems intrusive and manipulative to others, or may do a "favor", only to subsequently ask repayment. (ooo... I sound dangerous... Must be careful not to be unhealthy 2s) Average twos are often attracted toward two seemingly opposite kinds of people: toward people with power, whose agenda they can support, and towards the needy and the outcast, who most urgently need the 2's caring spirit.
Famous 2w1s: Fred Rogers ("Mr. Rogers"), Princess Diana, Mother Teresa, Bill Cosby
Famous 2w3s: Kathie Lee Gifford
9s and 2s are often confused with each other (particularly female 9s and 2s) because both are dutiful types, with positive feelings for others that can be tinged with resentment at having their own feelings neglected. However, 2s are more assertive emotionally, while the 9 tends to be more emotionally detached. 9s tend to efface their egos when helping others, while 2s tend to magnify them.</span></span></span></span>

How to Get Along with Me (actually all these sound logical what, doesn't everyone hope all these will happen?)
- Take your share of the responsibility so I don't end up with all the work.
- Acknowledge my achievements.
- I'm hard on myself. Reassure me that I'm fine the way I am.
- Tell me that you value my advice.
- Be fair and considerate, as I am.
- Apologize if you have been unthoughtful. It will help me to forgive.
- Gently encourage me to lighten up and to laugh at myself when I get uptight, but hear my worries first.
What I Like About Being a One
- being self-disciplined and able to accomplish a great deal (er....)
- working hard to make the world a better place (I'm not here to make the world a better place leh...)
- having high standards and ethics; not compromising myself
- being reasonable, responsible, and dedicated in everything I do
- being able to put facts together, coming to good understandings, and figuring out wise solutions (I think I'm soooo wise.... Ha~)
- being the best I can be and bringing out the best in other people (Maybe that's why I'm a teacher?)
What's Hard About Being a One
- being disappointed with myself or others when my expectations are not met (Ya ya! must change this. Man is fallible. Only God isn't. Trust in God!)
- feeling burdened by too much responsibility
- thinking that what I do is never good enough (last time, with respect to my mama's wishes... Now, I'm smarter... Haha~ Christ sees what I've done and that's good enough. If it's not, He forgives, I try harder)
- not being appreciated for what I do for people
- being upset because others aren't trying as hard as I am
- obsessing about what I did or what I should do
- being tense, anxious, and taking things too seriously (do I? I thot I'm some siao kia who's super crappy?)
Ones as Children Often
- criticize themselves in anticipation of criticism from others
- refrain from doing things that they think might not come out perfect (maybe that's why I'm not taking steps to exercise cos I scared I won't become slim? Hmmm...)
- focus on living up to the expectations of their parents and teachers (I think so too.. as I look back)
- are very responsible; may assume the role of parent (no wonder I'm always cooking, and scolding Fatso. Ha~)
- hold back negative emotions ("good children aren't angry")
Ones as Parents (I certainly hope soooo... that I am as mentioned!)
- teach their children responsibility and strong moral values
- are consistent and fair
- discipline firmly

Type 2: The Helper
Helpers are warm, concerned, nurturing, and sensitive to other people's needs. (ya... I think I'm so nice... Wahahah)
How to Get Along with Me
- Tell me that you appreciate me. Be specific.
- Share fun times with me.
- Take an interest in my problems, though I will probably try to focus on yours.
- Let me know that I am important and special to you.
- Be gentle if you decide to criticize me.
- Reassure me that I am interesting to you.
- Reassure me often that you love me.
- Tell me I'm attractive and that you're glad to be seen with me.
In Intimate Relationships
What I Like About Being a Two (yes I do agree.... maybe I'm more type 2 than type 1)
- being able to relate easily to people and to make friends
- knowing what people need and being able to make their lives better
- being generous, caring, and warm
- being sensitive to and perceptive about others' feelings
- being enthusiastic and fun-loving, and having a good sense of humor
What's Hard About Being a Two
- not being able to say no (sometimes yeah...)
- having low self-esteem (nah...not much)
- feeling drained from overdoing for others (sometimes yeah...)
- not doing things I really like to do for myself for fear of being selfish (sometimes yeah...)
- criticizing myself for not feeling as loving as I think I should (ya... can be stressful)
- being upset that others don't tune in to me as much as I tune in to them (sometimes maybe)
- working so hard to be tactful and considerate that I suppress my real feelings (no lah.. not to the extent of suppressing)
Twos as Children Often
- are very sensitive to disapproval and criticism (ya lah! my mama last time always scold me! But now I love her deep deep... And my toopid teachers... scar me for life!)
- try hard to please their parents by being helpful and understanding (no lah I'm a bad child many a times... flaring up at them...)
- are outwardly compliant
- are popular or try to be popular with other children (haha.. long time ago... I try to be popular... now I AM popular... Wahahaha)
- act coy, precocious, or dramatic in order to get attention (hmmm... maybe)
- are clowns and jokers (the more extroverted Twos), or quiet and shy (the more introverted Twos)
Twos as Parents
- are good listeners, love their children unconditionally, and are warm and encouraging (or suffer guilt if they aren't) (I hope so...)
- are often playful with their children
- wonder: "Am I doing it right?" "Am I giving enough?" "Have I caused irreparable damage?" (Wah this is so true... I'm so scared with my Sunday school kids already loh... What's more my future child, if God gives me one)
- can become fiercely protective (ya I think I'll be.. judging how protective I can be over my friends...)

Like I said in my FB... Very 'recess-ful' since it's time for me to catch up on my work.
Slacked the whole weekend away but it was good cos I get to spend time with my mama, papa and fatso at a family dinner with the rest of my cousins and relatives. Sunday usually I look forward to the lovely afternoon nap but discussion with Jo and Loretta took quite some time, end up reaching home at 5pm! Nonetheless, still had a lovely rest till 9pm before waking up to dinner cooked by my mama... Love it to bits! Love my mama to bits too... Haha~
There's a price to pay. She came back so late to make dinner... I couldnt' come back hall yesterday. And therefore, came back today instead... and I think that caused me to slack.... Haha...
Ah... so much excuses... Time to work hard ~
I love the chat with Fatso on FB... Thanks alot Fatso... Indeed must ask God to help me to make good my wrong motives, not be afraid to act for the good of myself and yet ask God to continue to mould me and change my motives to those that truly glorify Him.
Hopefully I can really get work done this week. So much things to dooooo~
With this.... I end with my favourite verse
"Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked." Psalms 84:10

Was just listening to this song... Really touched my heart. It's my favourite song now. Hahaha..... Can see the video and the reason for the song below. Lyrics are provided - Read the lyrics. Velly the good! Talks about the hope that we have in Christ, this certainty that He will return one day, even as I live my mundane life on this earth.
There is a hope
by Stuart Townend and Mark Edwards
Copyright (c) 2007 Thankyou Music.
There is a hope that burns within my heart,
That gives me strength for ev'ry passing day;
A glimpse of glory now revealed in meager part,
Yet drives all doubt away:
I stand in Christ , with sins forgiv'n;
and Christ in me, the hope of heav'n!
My highest calling and my deepest joy,
to make His will my home.
THere is a hope that lifs my weary head,
A consolation strong against despair,
That when the world has plunged me in its deepest pit,
I find the Saviour there!
Through present sufferings, future's fear,
He whispers, "Courage!" in ear.
For I am safe in everlasting arms,
And they will lead me home.
There is a hope that stands the test of time,
That lifts my eyes beyond the beckoning grave,
To see the matchless beauty of a day divine
When I behold His face!
When sufferings cease and sorrows die,
and every longing satisfied,
then joy unspeakable
will flood my soul,
For I am truly home.

Blog blog blog... it's been some time. Been too pre-occupied and indeed, as what I've learnt in my modules, writing (including typing) needs alot of thinking. So been kinda lazy I guess. =)
Anyway 3rd week of school! Lots of readings and assignment deadlines are creeping close by. Soon, I'll be saying that they are "zooming towards me"!
Enough lameness. I caught the show THE PROPOSAL acted by Sandra Bullock (one of my fav actress) and Ryan Reynolds (whom I've no idea of his existence until today).
It's my 4th time watching a show alone and I usually enjoy myself. This is no exception! Especially when the show is so funny! I really like Sandra Bullock (of cos Julia Roberts is still my top favourite), she's so funny and pulled her character off very well. The only thing that was a little boo-boo was that I was sitting beside a couple. Ha~ At least I wasn't between two couples. I was sitting at the end of the row. =)
I agree (with many movie critics) that the chemistry between Bullock and Reynolds is great! Nonetheless, I wished that the show was longer in that they'd show more of how Bullock & Reynolds get to know each other better and deeper. It's quite amazing (unbelievable actually) how the few touching times they had in two days in Reynolds' hometown is able to make them fall in love with each other. After all, Reynolds has another love interest in the show, someone whom he loved since high school through college, someone whom he has probably known for a much longer time and love more. But then again, the 3 years of being tormented by Bullock means he knows Bullock really well too. So well... that's what the screenwriter decided for Bullock and Reynolds anyway.
Then again, seems to be reminding us that behind every meano female high-ranking boss, who seems to love to torture everyone and doesn't understand that other ppl have a life, is a story to be unveiled. That's provided that female boss is as gorgeous as Sandra Bullock. =)
Yeah, so I wish the show was longer. It's certainly full of laughter and worth the money. =) DO catch it when you have the time. If anyone's keen, I might wanna watch it a second time! Hee~

It's been almost a month since I last updated my blog. Ha~
What have I been doing? The highlight is of cos my trip to Australia. Loads of ups and downs before I finally made the trip, before my mum finally exasperately let me go. Heehee.
Yeah yeah H1N1 seems spreading like wildfire in Aust, but judging from the situation before I left for Aussie (8July), things aren't going that smoothly in SG either. So I rather make my money worth. =) A little regret shortening my trip actually from 20 days to 10, from 5July-25July to 8July-17July. Still, I'm glad to make this short trip. Talking about it really make me miss it loads! Will try to blog about my days in Aussie plus pics asap! =)
*cough cough* I sure hope I didn't catch hini!

The weather of cos.
It's been a long long time since we had such a weather. Drizzling and grey skies for the whole day. That's why we can have a cool night's rest tonight!
My Father knows it's been unbearably hot. Thank You for the weather. Hoping for more of such days!

I find this the case many a times; that when it's term time and I'm sitting in front of my laptop doing work, I would have tonnes of time to blog, about anything under the sun. Even what time I wake up... Ha~ But when it's the holidays, when staring at the computer no longer becomes a routine, even blogging would be treated as a chore and comes to a stop. Especially when I have to edit photos and stuff. What's more, there are so many things to blog about this holiday. Strange, isn't it? Anyway, up till now, it's been quite fulfilling I must say, though the Australia trip is really at the back of the my mind nagging at me every now and then.
Nonetheless, let me just jot down a few things that I want to blog about, albeit when I have the time. Ha~
Charmaine's wedding
Church camp photos
Driving lessons
PlayMax and Sion Church camp
That's about it for now. Kinda feel like the holidays are drawing to a close, though I actually have more than a month still. But it's after all, my last long holiday... for a long long time, like 5 years? So well, I do wish a trip can materialise but will see how it goes. Must make this holiday well spent!

Who can I thank but God for the results that I've gotten for this semester? All that He brought me through this sem, I'm surprised to see that I've managed to submit all my assignments and study for exams and ultimately, survive till the end of it. So yes, thank God for the grades that He has allowed me to get.
Fatso tell me don't be complacent, final year will be harder.
My reply? "I want to be complacent. =P"
Haha...
Wah liew... How can I be complacent when I know it's given by God? So don't worry okie Fatso. I just wanna do my best in what I love studying, though next sem maths and science will be back again (I'm terrible in Science). But 不怕不怕. Just trust in the Lord and do my best.

Yes Spiders.
I hate anything that's creepy crawly... Cockroaches top the list, especially those that can fly.
This particular spider has been lurking in my kitchen on the cupboards for sometime. I wonder what its big plans are.
It always scares me whenever I move something and it jumps out.
Just now, I was finally so pek chek with it that I decided to battle with it.
Using the box of Jap soup ingredients which *ahem* JJ bought for me from Daiso some time ago, I finally delivered the deathblow on it after Spider happily, or maybe I should say anxiously jump from one place to another trying to avoid dying.
Alas, I got rid of it. But I hope it's before it has laid eggs. I don't want to see its offspring jumping around the next time I move something. Argh...!

TAKEN features Liam Neeson (voice-over of Aslan in The Chronicles of Narnia movie series), a very good actor in my opinion, and Maggie Grace.
For a review on the show, see http://www.usccb.org/movies/t/taken.shtm
As for me, the show's packed with ACTION. Not bad I must say. Liam Neeson is quick for his age. Hee~
As for his on-screen daughter Maggie, I think she did quite well in protraying hysteria and nervousness when she saw her friend being kidnapped.
For a scardy-cat like me who can't take much surprises, I'm pleased to say I think I missed only a quarter of the action. Not much blood in the show but the fighting is er... hmmm... painful. So cruel in fact. Like what QC said, killed so many people for the sake of his daughter. I guess, a father's love is able to carry one to such drastic actions taken. What's more, Neeson plays an ex-goverment spy, or something like that. So he has special skills that enables him to track down the people who kidnapped his daughter and save her.
What surprises me in the show that his skills enabled him to dodge bullets from a machine gun and fire back with only a pistol and hits the target spot on.
God, my Father-in-heaven also very powderful. He did and will do everything He can, to save me from my sins. And that I'm eternally grateful for.
But I digress.
So yes, I think Neeson did quite well in his role but felt that the 眼神 (intensity in his eyes) was not quite there.
Oh and one more thing, according to the show, if you don't want to be finished off early when you're ever kidnapped (by sex traffickers that is), do remain a virgin. You'll be sold from one dealer to another because you're worth alot, thus helping your dad to gain time to save you from the baddies. =)
Enjoy the show!

Ruth is done in one reading. Next up 1 Samuel starts!

Woohoo! And so ends my 3rd year in NIE. I quite enjoyed this year's learning though many things happened in between. But ahhhh... I am blessed no matter what.
I'll probably reflect more when I have the time and brains.... Now I just wanna relag, play FB while watching 家好月圆 (yes, again). And then head out to meet Pii-Nellie and kids later at Sumi!
Thank God for everything! It's a freaking 3 months holiday.. So much to do... So little time!!! =)

My love language score
How to interpret your Profile Score:
Your highest score indicates your primary love language. Your second highest score indicates your secondary love language. If two scores are identical, you are bilingual (you have two primary love languages). If the scores of your primary and your secondary language are close (for example, 10 & 9 respectfully), it indicates both are important to you. Whatever a significant other does to express love in either of these languages will get emotional points with you. The highest possible score for any language is 12.
Having a clear picture of your primary & secondary love languages will explain much of your past behavior Think back over the past and ask yourself "What have I most often requested from significant others?" Chances are your answer will lie within the scope of your primary & secondary love languages. You have been requesting that which would meet your deepest need for emotional love.

My dear friends, it is Easter Sunday this weekend. Where does your hope in life lies? Do you know what it means for someone perfect and holy to be forsaken and to die on the cross for imperfect and horrendous sinners? And this act of dying on the cross is in order that WE might have hope in our life today and in our life to come? Do you know what Easter means? Would you even consider listening to the message of Easter?
By Charles Spurgeon (Some old English forms have been changed based only on my discretion to make it more readable)
Morning: What Will He Do?
"If they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?" Luke 23:31
Among other interpretations of this suggestive question, the following is full of teaching: "If the innocent substitute for sinners, suffer thus, what will be done when the sinner himself --the dry tree--shall fall into the hands of an angry God?" When God saw Jesus in the sinner's place, He did not spare Him; and when He finds the unregenerate without Christ, He will not spare them. O sinner, Jesus was led away by His enemies: so shall you be dragged away by fiends to the place appointed for you. Jesus was deserted of God; and if He, who was only imputedly a sinner, was deserted, how much more shall you be?
What an awful shriek! But what shall be your cry when you shall say,
If God spared not His own Son, how much less will He spare you! What whips of burning wire will be yours when conscience shall smite you with all its terrors.
You richest, you merriest, you most self-righteous sinners--who would stand in your place when God shall say, "Awake, O sword, against the man that rejected Me; smite him, and let him feel the smart for ever"? Jesus was spit upon: sinner, what shame will be yours! We cannot sum up in one word all the mass of sorrows which met upon the head of Jesus who died for us, therefore it is impossible for us to tell you what streams, what oceans of grief must roll over your spirit if you die as you now are. You may die so, you may die now. By the agonies of Christ, by His wounds and by His blood, do not bring upon yourselves the wrath to come! Trust in the Son of God, and you shall never die.
As Easter comes this Sunday, it brings to reminder what the Lord Jesus Christ has done on the cross for our sins. Yet many would not listen, many would not make the decision. Have they any inkling what this wrath from God is like? Just read Deuteronomy 28 to see God's curses upon Israel. They who have known the Lord and tasted the Lord's goodness and yet forsake the Lord and His commands, the hammerstroke will fall the hardest. Those who claim to be Christian and have tasted the Lord's goodness will do well to follow Him all his ways. For to him who has been given much, much more will be asked of him. For those who have not yet come to know the Lord, or refused to bow the knee before the Lord, do not think you will be spared. For the Lord's answer is the same.
You who are my friends and therefore, are reading my blog, you would know me well enough to know that I am not making judgement on you. For judgement has been proclaimed on me first. And yet, by God's grace, I have been saved. Are you waiting for someone to hold out His hand towards you and tell you that the penalty has been paid, you can have life forever?
