您通常是溫暖、友善、忍耐、隨和、不好競爭,以及愛說話。您偏好和平、有組織、可預期而舒服的
生活。您喜歡配合環境,因而很難知道自己的優先次序,變成跟隨別人所希望而去做事,有時候甚至模仿別人說話的腔調、用詞,以及身體語言。
優點:非常主動,具有眾多興趣和嗜好。您喜歡與人為伍,可以為了別人而發揮最具生產力的工作成效。
缺點:您會「自我遺忘」,失去了什麼是對自己真正重要的覺察力。您很容易分心,即使一個人時,亦有可能把高度優先的事情留到最後才做。看起來很像是拖延,但並不故意。
愛情:您一旦擁有了關係,不會想到分離,而且會承諾去經營恆常不分離的關係。您既忠誠又慷慨,可以不帶妒忌或競爭心去支持並慶賀伴侶的成功,當伴侶的需要浮現時,更能給予回應。
您的憤怒最有可能在親密關係中顯現。因為當您迎合別人時,自己就消失了。「我有好長一段時間不知道自己的感覺,總是一片空白。當她投射出她所認為我感覺到的事情時,我們便陷入爭吵。我痛恨這種情形,但是對於引發我找到自己想要什麼確實有幫助。」
安定方位:成就型在安定的狀態下您會變得很專一,能在短時間內完成許多傑出的事。
壓力方位:忠誠型當面對感情的壓力或情緒對抗時,您會變得充滿恐懼,意識到所潛在的威脅,不但變得退縮,甚至唯命是從、好鬥、彆扭而且更頑固。
建意:問問自己的想法,而非顧慮別人的意見注意您對改變的不適感,學習歡迎新事物。注意您的頑固和被動式抗拒
最渴望:和洽相處
最恐懼:有紛爭,有衝突
最難達到的美德:果斷 (Right action)
最難克服的執念:懶惰 (Sloth)
HOW DARN TRUE. Laziness is my downfall. Hand me drama serials and i can stay at home in my PJs all day long. hahahaha.
but guess what? After enjoying the slackest midterm break in my time in SMU, gooddays have to end. smoo starts tomorrow & i have this BAD feeling that my inactivity during the midterm break will come back to haunt me.

Chinatown & Clarke Quay
chinatown with its streets, alley & shophouses keeps me fascinated and curious to explore every nook and cranny. after a fieldtrip to a PR firm at South Bridge Road on Friday morning, i had a very good excuse to wander. i fed myself with eggtart straight out from the oven (which was heavenly & definately comparable to those in HK), explored a dodgy shopping centre where ahpeks go for RA shows. my curious legs couldnt get enough that i got down from the bus to take a peek at Central - a new mall at Clarke Quay. And i absolutely love this place which overlooks the Singapore River and has this 2 boutiques whose style fit me to a T.

CNY 07
luckily fi adopted me for a while on tue's afternoon then it continued with dinner & movie with jfeng. the rest of the time was spent mostly on tv & hana kimi and .... housework till the F.M met up for our reunion dinner on wednesday night (w/o ganann & moses cos ganann was sick) and that in itself lies another story of its own. (for which, i will let the pictures do the talking... in time to come) afterwhich, fi & merv asked me to go with them to melvin's house whereby they had a gathering. which was weird to see these people once again, outside of fi's house, which means unfamiliar territory and not knowing where to sit nor stand. but i suppose gambling need minimal feeling of acquaintance to be made possible and that perhaps we were just acquaintance to begin with. a face to put a name to and at times some gossips to tell.
gambling is so financially unhealthy for me this year.
tell you, im glad my parents are back & i woke up with lunch to eat and had dinner to come home to after a not so rewarding day at the level 1 course. right now, im loving the fact that im all pyjama-ed, tapping on the keyboard and a cd on the play.曹格:superman
a voice i would marry if i got things my way to piece together another soul to match mine.

门徒
"吸毒,是因为空虚,那到底是空虚可怕,还是吸毒可怕?”
是因为空虚吗?
如果在一年前看这部戏,我或许会像多数的观众 对于所看到的一切感到震撼。像如梦初醒般的,第一次看到一个截然不同的世界。像不小心走到了后巷。是可怕的。分别是在‘可怕’和‘害怕’这两个名词。可怕 还是遥远的。可怕,是像隔岸观火。 电影就像是个社会新闻。令人寒酸的社会新闻。所以,记住了,忘记了。 我是害怕的。throughout the show, i remembered a scene. 恐惧来自于,看到黑暗有多黑。看到社会新闻的真实性。we walked away feeling disturbed from the show. i was shit scared. like how the scene i saw was just but one scene, what's the rest? too shit scared to imagine.
the show made me think a lot. like how if everything is derived from emptiness, maybe we need more psychiatrists than police. the futility of daniel wu's effort to destroy andy lau & his syndicate when in the end, really what does it amounts to? so much so that he asked himself this question, "吸毒,是因为空虚,那到底是空虚可怕,还是吸毒可怕?”
i wondered if human efforts are futile. i prayed.

Happy Chinese New Year
today, because angel was pawing all over the tv screen going "KFC", i decided to bring her out for her KFC, just me and her. she told me about how her shoes make squeaky sounds, asked what colour were those lights, sang "london bridge is falling down" as i carried her. by the time we got home, i had a bag load of fastfood, a 6pack Tigerbeer for the uncles, and angel in my other arm. i was sweating, my arm about to break.
the reward for being the elder cousin. Happy Chinese New Year!

Tuesdays with Morrie
whilst i still spend a lot of time on tv & the computer because they are things i enjoy doing, i started to be conscious about my time spent with people. i start to be conscious about what we talk about & wonder why its difficult for us to approach subjects such as life, something that digs deeper into the soul than money & career. maybe its the culture that stops us from discussing about such things, like what we think about life and death, thinking that it may be too weird or too morbid. but maybe its the lack of talking about it that we fear so much. (personally, the very thought of death grips me with fear.) also, it may be because its much easier to laugh & gossip then to think about the unknowns of our existence.
then again, i also know everyone wants establish their friendship on a deeper level just from the fact how people find varsity life superficial because conversation never got much beyond school. so then, why haven't we began such conversations?
i also realized that i have a short attention span when it comes to talking to people even more so when it comes to the telephone. I'm one of the worse person to have a tele-conversation, there are times i felt that the silence gets too awkward & i want to hang up. recently, i don't even want to log in to msn & my sms msg(s) become monosyllabic. i am reminded of how i cannot hold eye contact after i have done my smile & wave and how i always look away.
many things have replaced one-to-one conversations, e.g.: multiple chat windows, project discussion, board meetings. my talk with jan on the bus last night reminded me that it these one on one session that we manage to ask each other how we are coping with our lives now.
everyone needs a Morrie who looks you in the eye and reaches u at a deeper level. not just as the various organizational role you play such as eunice the student and eunice the smugger. maybe we all have to begin from ourselves to play deeper roles like the daughter, the son, the granddaughter, the friend, the love, the listener, the helping hand.

happy tonsils
on tonsils & fags & doctors
i went to see the doctor already because i want to get well before CNY in fact before wednesday cos we are having a gathering at gan's hostel. the doctor seemed to like to describe my tonsils as 'unhappy'. and here's another one
doc: "and it seems that you are running a slight fever"
me: "serious!" (cos i felt perfectly fine 'cept for the tonsils)
doc: "usually that means it's not serious"
he's damn lame. and that was what i heard from apple before i visited him for the first time. which was good cos the family doctor i usually go to have this deadpan look. Humour people! humour!
doc: "anything else?"
me: "nope!"
doc: "ok....thats really short...uhhhhhhhhh let's talk about the weather"
me: O_O
doc: "nah... actually i just got back from overseas. so is it still raining?"
bah! not only it isn't raining. its freaking HOT. now, should i get back to sleep?

real beauty
someone in the advertising class made this comment: (summarized)
"the girls in the real beauty campaign may not be the top 5% of what is considered beautiful. but they should be at least the top 20% (because lets face it, the girls in the ad are still beautiful). and when normal people like us watch this ad, and realize we aren't even in this same league as them and not just the top models (the cream of the crop), it justs makes them feel worse."
i thought it made sense. but man, this person must be a heck of a cynic.

career
(1) The most important brief you would ever write
(2) form and importance.
i believe that Chance play an important part here. to direct you to the place you will be happy in, because some people never know. of SO many jobs in the world, how do you know whats right? and you wont know till you are in it. if you are lucky you get into a job and then realize you like it. else, its just constant job hopping.
Chance & Luck, I guess I could see it as being Serendipity. Having God put you in the right place at the right time. I sure want to be happy going to work!
had a short meetup with yunxi cos i told her that's a bazaar at smu & we both happen to like such stuff. her shopping style hasnt change a single bit. haha. tonight, im going to debby's house for steamboat =D

Pandora's Box
much ado about marketing
Media agency : a company which help companies to communicate with current and potential consumers and/or the general public.Media agencies work with their clients to understand the business issues, their markets and their consumers. The media agency then identifies the consumer insights, which can help to devise a channel-neutral communication strategy which really connects with those consumers; using channels ranging from public relations (PR), events and sponsorship to advertising, interactive advertising, word of mouth and direct mail; to build a genuinely integrated campaign.
It is upon deciding on the integrated campaign (which medium to use) that they approach their sister advertising agencies who are in charge of the creative ideas behind those ads. It is however the responsibility of the media agency to ensure client get returns on his investments.
Media planner : matching the target audience to the appropriate media. Once the target audience is identified, selection is made based on the profiles of various media that is available, while also evaluating cost. In strategic media planning, the planner will make recommendations to the client consisting of a combination of media that will be most effective in reaching the target audience and the marketing objectives.
Media Buyer : specializes in media buying by purchasing time and space for the delivery of advertising messages through mainstream media. A media buying service may purchase broadcast time, print space, indoor space, outdoor space, and other media.

2 or 3 ?!?!?!??!! Manchi can't tell
recently, i was telling some of them how 曹格's new song sounded dangerously close to the childhood song '两只老虎'. and this was manchi's reaction to it today (and i summarize)
manchi: the song that you were talking that sounded like 三只老鼠 is called 两个恋人
eu: ... it is 两只老虎!
manchi: NO! the song is 两个恋人!
eu: i know i was referring the the childhood song. its called 两只老虎 not 三只老鼠
(she continued arguing that the song is 两个恋人,before finally getting the fact that i was referring to the childhood song, not the gary song)
manchi: isnt it 三只 ?!?!??!!?!
eu: its 两只 la! you no childhood is it?!?!?!??!?!?!?!
manchi: its 三只 lor i remember it as 三只!
(by this time i was already laughing and telling apple about this big joke. and apple also buay ta han her stupidity and said "you ask her is it cantonese version sing it as 三只?" manchi still ngeh ngeh insist its three tigers. so i said...)
eu: it is '两只老虎 两只老虎 跑得快 跑得快 一只没有眼睛 一只没有尾巴 真奇怪 真奇怪!' It is two lor! Where you count 3?!?
manchi: thats why i was wondering where did the other one go?!?!?!?!
(cue: faint once)
but she still ngeh ngeh dont believe and said she will ask her friends and get back to me
manchi: "if i dont get back to you, dont ask me why ok?"
after awhile.....
manchi: "EH!!!! MY FRIENDS ALSO SAY ITS 三只 lor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
(cue: faint twice)
eunice (desperate. & googles to show manchi): you go here. http://www.0to12.com/admin/news/2005-10/25-20051025100254_0.htm
manchi: ......
manchi: you google dont have 三只老虎 meh?
eu: DONT HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(i guess i dont have to cue you to faint by now)
Moral of the story: stupid manchi has no childhood. neither do her friends. never doubt yourself when arguing with manchi. YOU ARE ALWAYS RIGHT. no matter how ngeh ngeh she is. (really you are more clever than her). Google is the best way to find an answer.

the aura about me
whilst i was giving the "whoaa" look, Lip said "YAYAYYAYA. quite true quite true"
some people just dont get it.
post 出来的 extract 是战神里,我最喜欢的一幕。所以把这一段话给找出来了。常来这关顾的人,应该大概知道战神对于我的意义。(因为太常quote它了) 有人说这戏太黑暗了,看不懂。他们很像都没看到,我所看到的希望。 在那不到完美的现实中,在偶尔会希望想逃,想躲,想抽离的现实生活中,找到一个可以一眼看穿,睁眼对视着你的眼神。而不是拐弯抹角,希望从你身上找到完美,只看到自己想要看到的东西的人。把自己的期望往别人的身上塞,对不起,那你也只有失望了。
“怎么这么刚好啊? 我也是一个不正常的人”。
战神,是我的理念。
让我坚强的理念。
“人类看似坚强,其实软弱,但说他软弱却又坚强无比,无论哭得再伤心,该睡的时候还是要睡,肚子也会觉得饿……今天也和昨天一样,每一个明天又好象今天,发生了,又过去了。”
if you feel chinese enough. there are others out there who share my thoughts.

零
『為什麼?』零問。
『因為我還要轉好幾班車,才能點到原點。』 而且……人可以回到原點,她的心呢?還可以像以前一樣嗎?
『我是說,我們為什麼要分手?』零說。
『因為我不適合談戀愛,因為我不正常,因為……』綺羅別過頭,『你沒有辦法再像以前那樣看我。』
『怎麼這麼剛好啊?我也是一個不正常的人。』零的話讓綺羅抬起頭看著他,『我沒有強暴過人,我也不是女生,老實說,我並不是很了解你的感受,但是我不會要你一下就忘掉它,因為我知道遺忘並不伯那麼容易的事。那些叫人忘掉的話,全部都是屁話!』
綺羅呆呆地看著零,他的意思是……他不是要分手?他還願意和她在一起?
零轉過身子面對綺羅,握住她的雙手,堅定地說:『我要跟你說的是,不管你今天做了什麼,不管你今天遭遇到什麼事情,你在我的心中永遠都是一樣,不曾改變。我們從各自的悲劇中出發,然後相遇,我們一眼就看出彼此,除非我們手牽著手,否則,我們都會失去走出悲劇的勇氣。所以,我們為什麼要分手?』她已經是他身體的一部份了,教他如何能割捨她呢?
綺羅感動地想要給他一個笑容,可是淚水卻不受控制地溢出眼眶,原本以為即將結束的愛情不但沒有失去,反而更深更濃。
零愛憐地看著她含淚的微笑,傾身吻住她……這個傻女孩,怎麼會以為他要分手呢?
綺羅把耳朵貼在零的胸膛,靜靜地數著令她安心的心跳聲,忽然抓起零的衣服擦眼淚。
『喂!』零像是警告,又像是無奈地輕喊一聲,他的衣服不防水耶!
『呵……你是第一個不會讓我覺得害怕的男人。』綺羅終於笑了,短短一句,卻讓零更深刻了鮮綺羅對他的感情,『你一定不記得,我剛入學的時候,你就有跟我說過話。』想到當時的情形,綺羅就覺得好笑。
『我?』零疑惑地問。
綺羅離開零的懷抱,拿出一個鑰匙圈:『你看,你一定不記得了。』
零接過鑰匙圈,努力地回想。綺羅繼續說:『那一天下著大雨,我不小心把這個鑰匙圈掉進水溝,就在不知道該怎麼辦的時候,你就突然跑過來,幫我撿起來,還好像跟我很熟。』
零搔搔頭,不好意思地說:『我怎麼都不記得啦?我該不會那時候就跟你搭訕了吧?』
『沒有。』綺羅搖搖頭,零鬆了口氣,『你那時候只是說,可不可以借我一點錢?』
啥?零拍沙子的動作一頓:『不會吧?』我不是這麼沒品吧?
綺羅點點頭說:『然後你就拿走了我一千塊。』呵呵~
呃……『我一定沒有還你錢對不對?』零幾乎是肯定地說,綺羅只是笑。
『哎約~~好丟臉啊~~』零想要挖個地洞把自己給埋了!這麼糗……
『後來啊,我們常常在走廊上擦肩而過,你根本就不記得我了……可是從那個時候開始,我就一直注意你,你每次都帶不一樣的女生。』零聽到這句話就更想死了,還有比這更悲慘的事嗎?
綺羅笑著說:『我對你印象真的很糟。可是好奇怪喔,我明明應該很討厭你的,可是就是討厭不起來,我到現在也不知道為什麼。』
『可能是因為……我們都不是正常人吧!』零說。對呀,雖然都不是正常人,卻是同一個世界的人,那就夠了。
『零,他們在蓋城堡耶~我們幫他一起蓋好不好?』綺羅對著零大喊。
零看到綺羅純真開朗的笑容,放心地笑了,一邊跑向她一邊說:『喂!要蓋就蓋大一點的啦~』
看著零專注蓋城堡的樣子,綺羅恍然明白:“我終於知道,為什麼我沒有辦法討厭他……因為他早就知道什麼是絕望,早就知道無法愈合的傷口有多痛。”
『……只是到了明天,這座城堡一定還是會不見,不管它多大,多漂亮,總有一天還是會毀掉。』綺羅傷感地說。『毀掉了,再蓋就好。只要你願意,要我多蓋幾次都沒關係,我們一起蓋吧!』零承諾。
。。战神

forget the bad and remember the good
cleaning my messy room for the day. but feels like the work involved to really tidy up this sty is barely 1% done. decided to capture some of these little little presents that i got from my dear ol' friends & frame them up for eternity. birthdays, friendship day/week, valentines day, christmas used to be the time for these little gifts for each other. and all those postcards and letters, i still keep them all. they remind me of the younger days, our school, the friends, how fun it is to be a girl.
