after seeing liling do it, figured it looked pretty interesting, so here are my results to the hale psychology test.

I'm an ESFP: "Extra Special Friendly Person". *beam* no argument from me so far. heh. anyone care to disagree? *glare* =P

You're a fun-loving outgoing person and are naturally drawn to people...you are quite enthusiastic and exuberant...and usually well-liked by others.. you're good at meeting people and helping them enjoy themselves...you are sympathetic towards people and generous with your time and money. You wanna be where the action is and will see things in your own special way...

well liked by others on the surface perhaps. *smirk* i like to think the rest of the things are true, it seems to be from my point of view! especially the bit about seeing things in my own special way. :) maybe a cynical, skeptical way, but that has its own appeal. *sparkle*

You're aware what is going on around you and notice stuff that others miss. You're popular and gregarious and are often busy in social stuff...you are instigators of activity and like to be "where the action is..."...you like laughing at yourself and others....you like to help others and often join organizations that letcha do that..if you work as a teenager, chances are that you'll take a job that lets you interact with others (gift shop, waiter, anywhere you can charm or shmooze)....you're "on stage" often...

i do notice stuff that others miss, i tend to be very aware of my surroundings most of the time. (sarah calls it eavesdropping *grin*) the rest is accurate, particularly the "on stage" bit, only wrong thing is about helping others, i'm a bit of a selfish bitch i'm afraid. :p

You're the eternal optimist, and always seem to land on your feet, somehow. (gee, all this stuff shows you might be good in the Storm Palace pubs..) you can interact with people of all ages, backgrounds or types with no problem.. you learn best when you can interact with others and DO things, not just observe or listen about 'em... Teachers are the key to your success.. they have to care about you for you to want to do well..

actually, i learn best sitting on my own in the library puzzling out something from a textbook. heh. or by rewriting it 10000 times. if the teachers care about me, it effectively guilts me into studying for their subject, so i suppose that's accurate in a way. also, i'm more likely to ask them to explain something that's unclear. the thing i'm most proud of is my ability to interact with different people, being sort of not-here, not-there myself, i never quite fit in, so i've learnt to adapt quite well to different people, though on occasion i decide it's just not worth the effort and shut myself off.

You like teamwork...you can get caught up in others' emotions.. your style is inclusive and allowing others to participate in the decisions..you don't need to suck up all the glory...you like to take breaks and relax..you love being active and going out and doing things with friends...

wrong wrong wrong! haha. well, except for taking breaks and going out. *grin*

you might move in or out of a relationship depending if it "feels" comfortable..you get kinda hampered with disapproval.. you can overwhelm your partner with all this affection and stuff...when there's a breakup, you can move on and get over it quickly, surrounding yourself with your friends...

that's true. most of my relationships operate on gut feelings rather than anything logical. i can know something's incredibly wrong, but if it 'feels' right at the moment, i'll go along with it. i wish the breakup part was true, but i don't think it is. i tend to keep things that really hurt me to myself, the parts y'all hear over and over again are the piddly little things. *grin* or well, they are pretty major ones, but not the major ones. heh. and i do get hampered with disapproval, i want everyone to like me, impossible as it is, and knowing that people disapprove of me can bring me down from a 'high' mood very fast. particularly in a relationship, i try my best to keep things on a very even keel, i won't flare up easily or argue over little things. unexpected huh? *grin*

Be careful on these: don't spend too much time socializing and not enough on the task at hand. You'll probably talk on the phone rather than work. Also, don't forget to finish what you start..get some planning skills and time management...don't ignore the logical facts, as much as you'd rather go by subjective stuff...finally, don't be so action-oriented that you forget to plan ahead...

*looks appropriately chastened* yes sir! all accurate i'm afraid. i'm a huge time waster and procrastinator, unless i'm really panicked about something, then i get really paranoid and anal. *g* that happens too little though.

ooof. i'm tired. been out the whole day, first met marcus at NP to show him around a bit and have lunch, then I was on duty at the LSCT booth in the atrium trying to 'psycho' people into coming into biotech, though i think i scared off more people than i convinced. *sparkle* and it was soooo hot there! argh! was melting i swear.. *groan* then it was over to the octagon to watch joey's band, FhLy perform. and they were fantastic. =) enjoyed myself loads, though the so-called 'crowd' was pretty morose, and so i didn't really get into the mood. but yea, told him to inform me of future gigs. *grin*

then! wandered down to orchard and happened to meet up with Leroy, Jasmine etc, who were likewise extremely early, so hung out with them til eugene's performance, which was also pretty good. *grin* today kinda upped my impression of local music quite a bit, though maybe it's only that low cos i'm majorly out of date. *g* was also pretty nice to meet some more of my juniors, s'quite strange that i waited til the last few months of 3rd year before getting to know any of them eh? *laugh* oh well. :)

but yea, i'm majorly tired, *yawns hugely*, so i guess it's off to sleep for me, and i can sleep late tmr cos it's sunday! designated lazing-around-at-home day. *beam*

This weeks friday five:

1. What is your most prized material possession?

my computer? hm, or maybe my PDA. *grin* Or any other number of things really, it's just too, too hard to decide. *sparkle*

2. What item, that you currently own, have you had the longest?

a little blue teddy bear that has a rattle in its tummy that my brother got for me when i was born. :) don't think you get much longer than that, it's sitting on my bed currently. *smile*

3. Are you a packrat?

yea, it runs in the family. *g* you just have to see our house in australia to know what i mean, the amount of stuff is just scary!

4. Do you prefer a spic-and-span clean house? Or is some clutter necessary to avoid the appearance of a museum?

clutter!! and no, I'm not just trying to make myself feel better. *grin*

5. Do the rooms in your house have a theme? Or is it a mixture of knick-knacks here and there?

no theme. apart from any disinclination towards interior decorating, i live with my mum at the moment, and i'm a poor, starving student. =P perhaps eventually I might have a themed house, but don't hold your breath.

was studying with sarah today at the library, from 10am to 6.30pm! well, i say studying. heh. which we were, mostly, i guess, well, maybe. :p fine, so a bit of it was spent daydreaming out the window and watching the secondary school students mill around, mostly lost. *grin* proteomics is scaring me though, have very little clue what's going on. gah.

he dropped by this afternoon for a little while, after class. not sure what to say about it yet really, i'm confused. :(

and i have duty tomorrow from 1-2pm tomorrow at the atrium, which is going to be very, very crowded. *digs out her PR skills* i'll be nice, i promise. *grin* if any of you are dropping by around that time, let me know! =)

okay. okaaaaaaay. i think i just have this incredible weakness for him. bah.

*emblazons sucker in neon pink on her forehead*

excuse me while i go make a complete idiot of myself. then again, there are always symptoms that well, basically it's just that we're both confused. i guess i owe it to myself to see it through. bitter end style. otherwise, well, wondering what would've happened isn't my favourite thing to do.

edit: there are a lot of miscellaneous 'hims' mentioned aren't there? *grin* dreadfully sorry, and no, they're not -all- the same person. :p

just got back from the Seventeen casting call a while ago, was pretty simple, fill in a form, get a few photos taken and wander out again. well, except where they asked me if i'd date this guy, and they showed me a picture. i was trying to be nice and not say something along the lines of, "God, no.", so let out a restrained, and sweet, "No I don't think so." heh. but seriously, not my type at all. none of the girls i asked had said yes either, must be pretty embarrassing for him if they don't manage to get 5 or 6 that will, or at least will give considered no's rather than instinctive ones like mine was.

anyhow, been thinking the past few days, have been in rather a reflective mood i suppose, for various reasons. and it just seems that i've been losing track of my priorities, big time. granted, i don't necessarily think that a social life, or love life for that matter, has to take second place to my studies, however, the speed in which i've been rushing in the other direction is a bit disconcerting, when i look back. last semester at this time i had half my genomics and cGMP memorised, and was looking for dr koh to endure his oft-hidden smirks to try and niggle a bit of DDD knowledge from him. now? haven't the faintest clue what's going on in proteomics, my project logbook is still out of date though i haven't done any labwork in almost a month, and the other subjects are hardly in a better state. oops. :p

not to mention what i've forsaken it for is hardly worth the constant irritation and occasional heartache. heh. excuse me while i go a bit cryptic, but seriously, have you ever felt that you're completely grown out of a relationship? be it a significant other, or a best friend, or an acquaintance, or just someone you hang out with occasionally. not just grown out of it, but to the point that you can't stand them, and can't even be bothered to have the slightest patience with them no matter how nice they are? and then, of course, felt you were a complete bitch for feeling this way, simply because they haven't done anything in the least to warrant your irritation. bah.

and how about the people that take you completely for granted, taking out their little depressed moods and temper tantrums on you, while expecting you all the while to just sit and take it, and to just continue as is the next time they see you without the simplest apology, nor even the faintest clue that you are owed one? and who wallow around in self pity and self induced melancholia even more than i do? (which is a scary amount, but at least i don't take it out on other people. *grin*) now it gets personal, heh, why do i take it from him? he's not all bad certainly, in fact, he has a few redeeming qualities that are very rare in most singaporean guys (excuse the gross generalisation), but sometimes i believe the word arsehole was specifically tailored for that boy. granted, there's no job description handed out along with a new friendship, but there are at least a few ground rules that i had all along thought were universal. apparently, i thought wrong. either that, or he's, well, not a friend per se and i should drop him like a hot potato. heh. and ooh, i would like to. however, like most things, it's never quite that simple.

edit: for the record, i'm not as heartless as i sound in the last paragraph. i will dole out sympathy in large amounts if i believe it is warranted. but pure teen angst based on absolutely nothing at all except general discontent is only warranted, in my opinion, once a month or so. heh. with slight modifications to fit the circumstances. everyday depression and tantrum throwing gets old, fast.

hmm. thanks to sarah for the inspiration to actually change the layout. heh. thing is, now where do i put my links? lol. but it's lovely isn't it?

was looking back at some of my archives.. i swear i used to be able to write better. *grin* about more interesting things, rather than just a basic rundown of my day. after all, who's really interested right? however, my store of interesting metaphors and equally interesting stories has run quite dry, probably because my life isn't particularly excitement-filled at the moment either. *laugh* i mean, school, home, school, home, school, home, isn't exactly chock full of what you would call scintillating moments. more's the pity. heh.

*sulks* i want an ugly bouquet. hahaha. or a nice one. heh. point being, i'm not fussy. *sparkle*
