乱乱说

最近我的心情起伏不定。时而高兴,时而忧郁。感觉上有很多事情在脑袋里,但是却不知道应该做什么。头痛。

时间滴滴答答的过。人慢慢变老,变懒。好可怕。

12月要到了。圣诞节要到了。我的生日要到了。

还记得去年在太平庆祝生日。前年在Sri Kembangan 庆祝。大前年在越南庆祝。大大前年在Puchong F1庆祝。再之前?不记得了。

不知不觉,5 年了。大学毕业就要 5 年了。中学毕业 10 年了。好快。好可怕。

今年出席了最少5个婚礼,收了最少10张请帖。。好多人结婚了。时辰到了。大家都到了谈婚论嫁的阶段。真的好可怕。在多几年,大家应该是在谈孩子吧。o_O

12 月了。明年我会在那里庆祝生日呢?明年我会变怎样?明年会发生什么事情?太可怕了。

My Tickle IQ Test Report

I was surfing Google for the solution for "ODBC General Error" that appeared in my excel when refreshing a query. And then, a window popped out asking me on some IQ questions, and i clicked on it and started to answer all the classic IQ test in Tickle.

My IQ report (Summarised):

Your IQ score is: 129
You scored 129 on Tickle's IQ test. This means that based on your answers, your IQ score is between 119 and 129. Most people's IQs are between 70 and 130. In fact, 95% of all people have IQs within that range. 68% of people score between 80 and 120..........


Your Intellectual Type Is:
You've got a very experiential way of learning and a strong mathematical mind. You're able to whittle even the most complex situation down to comprehensible component parts. In short, you have mastered the art and science of precision. That's what makes you a Precision Processor. For you, life is a series of equations. Your brain is naturally predisposed to intense mathematical acuity, and your understanding of numerical problems is unparalleled. It's second nature for you to cut to the heart of an issue, so that you can discover quick solutions to problems while others get bogged down in unnecessary details.

Your Intelligence Scales:
Mathematical Intelligence (combined ability to reason and calculate): 90%-100%
Visual-Spatial Percentile (ability to extract a visual pattern): 60% - 70% :(
Linguistic Percentile (include reading, writing & communicating with words): 50%-60% :((
Logical Percentile (ability to think things through): 90%-100%


Hmm... Interesting right? So don't complain that I am calculative, because I am born in this way, to live with numbers... My life is a series of equations.... Hehehehe... *sound so boring... aarrrgghhhh....*

One of the questions in the IQ test:
1. John likes 400 but not 300; he likes 100 but not 99; he likes 3600 but not 3700. Which does he like:
a. 900
b. 1000
c. 1100
d. 1200

A piece of cake for all of you. Right? If you're interested, can always try to go for the full test @ http://web.tickle.com/tests/uiq/index_main.jsp. Somehow I remembered you'll need to pay to get the result, but this time, I paid nothing and I get the full 15 pages comprehensive reports. Well, I don't know how accurate it is, but heck, it's free... :P

Give it a try! :)

I feel so old......

I am 26 years old this year. To be exact, I am 25 and 10 months and 25 days old as of NOW (as I am writing this).

Still young right? 26 is such a sweet number.... Hmm.... *scratching my head*

I was having dinner with friends, and while talking, we found that we're old already....
1. We have been working for almost 5 years!!! Oh my god.. oh my god.....
2. We cannot sleep late anymore, have to wake up at 8am automatically.
3. If we try to sleep more, you'll get all the backache, waist-ache and whatever ache....
4. We cannot stay up late - must sleep before 12am...

Gossshhh... We're OLD already....

In fact, for me, I realised more things that changed within me all these while...

I can't kena rain anymore. If i do, I'll get headache and slight fever.
My pimples are taking longer (2-3 weeks) to heal compared to uni time (2-3 days!!!).
I fall sick very easily.
If I fall sick, it takes longer to recover (1 week compared to 1-2 days!!)
I have no mood for long hour shopping as I feel tired walking for too long.
I prefer to stay at home doing nothing than go under the sun.
I'll feel dizzy if i walk under the sun for too long (esp. after lunch).
I get headache very easily, so easy that I can get it immediately when i open my eyes if i don't have a good sleep the night before.
I'd love to sit in EG's car compared to my own car as his car is more heavily tinted.
I don't know where to go when I am bored, so I'll rather stay at home and cook "tong soi".
I have no mood at all for clubbings or pubs or beer or any alcohol drinks.

*Cough*, and I am having terrible sore throat now!! Geeeee..... Guess I am facing my quarter-life crisis.... I feel SO OLD......... :(

PS: Ok ok, not so serious la... :).. But I really cannot deny that I can't do things that I used to do when I was in my early 20s... That makes me sad a bit. Hmm......

My Supposed-To-Be Detox Dinner

My dinner last night!!

We were running out of ideas of what to eat out after we did our catering for almost 3 months.... Then we thought we have been eating quite a lot of rubbish for the past few days - Mc Donalds, bakuteh, etc etc... So we decided to have a detox dinner to cleanse our body system!

So we only have honey dew, oranges, tomatoes and cucumber with vinegar and sugar (forgot to take that) and 2 big mugs of fresh soya for our meal. NIce or not ar? Ah well... after a while you'll feel bloated for it. So we were thinking that these fruits might not be filling enough for us. So we decided to make our HOME-MADE MICROWAVE PATATO CHIPS!!!!



Looks good isn't it?? We did some trial and error and finally the result is NOT BAD... We didn't have the correct utensils to slice the potato chips thin enough, so some are not as crispy, but it really tasted quite good. Interested? Hehehehe... Ask me for the recipe. It's superbly easy!!

I know, the next question that you guys will ask next is sure..... can tahan meh? Ah well, we boiled another 2 sausages around 10+pm because EG felt hungry and I just couldn't stand the temptation... -_-"....

My First Year Anniversary

It was my first year anniversary working in PG yesterday! I can't believe it. Time flies. My colleagues were congratulating me on "completing 1 year working" here... sound like a big task right? :)

In my 4 years of working, I have never owned my own cube before, until when I move to PG. My previous jobs requires me to move around - either I was working in offsite for development/deployment or I was loaned to other companies as a third party vendor.

Until now, let me proudly present you my cube!! :).... I am a very messy person and my cube was always been messy with all the papers/files around. But I just added some of new members to my cube and hence now it is kinda tidy than usual.

Things on my cube
1, Flower from EG - drying up already
2. Tortoise on my laptop docker - got it from Fenny in KL I think
3. Tissue box
4. Crabtree & Evelyn body lotion - for my delicate hands after doing my washing
5. Sebamed Lip Balm - for my always-cracked lips
6. Some leaflet with very cute face gotten from Perangin Mall
7. Key Chains - sourvenirs from colleagues from Sabah and Thai
8. Holder for all my pens, stapler, scissors, etc....
9. Calendar - with all important dates circled, such as pay date....
10. Peanut butter - for my breakfast with bread
11. Letter holder - but I used it to hold the 3-in-1 drink given for free for breakfast
12. Piggy note holder from Parkson
13. A recognition plaque gotten early this year
14. PENGUIN - got it from my Auntie when we visited Philip Island in Aus
15. Bear Bear that came together with the flower from EG
16. Piggy mousepad
17. Some notes sticking on my top cabinet for my quick reference

A typical girl's cube right? With all the soft toys and useless things sticking all around. *shy*... But well it helps me to feel "homey" and gives me more motivation to work. Hopefully I can complete the 2nd year here!!!!! Wish me best!!!!

凤凰四重奏

I saw this movie in TVB website for quite some times, and read about their good comments also. During Raya holiday 6 days break, I found the DVD at EG's place and started watching it.

The series describes the love stories of the main actress and actor (佘诗曼 and 马德钟) in 4 different generations, i.e. 1900, 1954, 1975 and finally 21st century. The show consists of 30 episodes, which is quite long, I thought.

When I was watching the first two generations, I almost wanted to kill myself as the story was bitter, very sad and very long winded. In the first generation, both of them were in love but she had to marry another shitty guy in order to save her father's business (same old stories). So, in the movie, she loves him, he loves her, and their loves were only conveyed to each other through their eyes when they look into each other. She had a daughter in the end (of course it's with her real husband) and both of them died together in some accident.... Haih.....

The 2nd generation, the daughter (acted by 佘诗曼 also) was a student and the guy (acted by 马德钟) was the teacher. It's the era when chinese were fighting against the japanese or the other invaders to China. And it's also the era when the younger generations were fighting for freedom in love, rather than letting the parents to decide. So how? Run away lo... and long stories in between where they were working hard for money and bla bla bla bla bla.... Finally they got seperated again because the guy joined some secret community to fight againt the japs and left the wife and their daughter in China... and then somehow the wife, the daughter and the granddaughter moved to Hong Kong.

I almost gave up when i finally finished the 2nd generation. However, if you know me, I won't give up so easily so I went on!

When it comes to the 3rd generation, things started to get interesting. This is the generation where guys are super ego, and girls are expected to only be the housewife and be very obedient. Conflicts happen when the wife, again the same actress, went out to work and become her husband's, the same actor, boss. This generation is very funny. The way they talked as well as the way they walked can burst me into laughter. EG is watching it with me every night as he's addicted with this generation and immitated the way the guys talk every night. It's irritating but it's really funny!

I still have almost 10 episodes to go to finish the show but, as usual, I have read the sypnopsis for the whole drama so I know what's going to happen in the end... Hehehehe...

Anyway, this is a real interesting drama showing the main difference between the 4 different generations, and how all our mind has actually "evolved". If you have time to stick to the TV, do give this series a try!!
