What Tan Jing Mei Tammie Means

You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

zoe's birthday celebration - 29.03.08 @ Summerdale Condo

finally! 2 term papers down. 2 more + 1 presentation to go. =(
taking a break now. so here are some pictures pictures pictures!

simyee and me: feeling bored.

tried out something different - having pictures taken without our faces in it.

-

imagine you didn't pay attention to details which are needed for you to do something, say, a report. then, you thick-skinned-ly asked for some enlightenment from someone else.

only to get rebuffed with "just write lor."

sounds familiar to you?

this have occurred quite a few times to me i think.

however,

i have absolutely refused to think that people (including myself) are selfish.

until today.

maybe you became busy. concidentally. maybe i have treated you the same way sometime back and created bad causes. so this is probably just my karma ya.

whatever it is, to even have the intention of being selfish, i'm disappointed with people.

oh well.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

this is such a grade-oriented society.

1) the amount of effort you put in for every damned assignment is determined by the weightage of the assignment that gets counted into the final grade.

2) people go all out to find out about the means and standard deviations of test scores in order to know how they fare among the cohort.

3) people even calculate the weightage of each question in a test in order to judge the penalty of not studying for the f-up test.

4) people even voice out in class/ivle forum in order to be rewarded class participation points that will count towards the final grade.

5) i have taken up japanese because i want to. i don't care if i can't S/U it. i attend TC classes because they are fun and i want to be there. guess what my teacher said when i asked for a makeup class:

"oh. it's not obligatory. you don't have to come if you can't make it for all the other slots. it won't be counted towards your grade." even the teachers think that way!

there's nothing wrong in doing these. we all enjoy the freedom to do what we want ya. i understand ultimately we all want to do well (or exceptionally well).

it's easy to get pulled into the whole paper chase thingy. everyone is like that, including good friends. i feel i have lost myself somewhere in this system. i admit i do do 1 and 4 sometimes ( 2 and 3 are too OMG for me). i also feel i haven't truly learnt anything - not even skills. everyday is just a routine of meeting deadlines and more deadlines. my initial passion in psychology seemed to have dwindled. everything is textbook-based. i do not have time to learn more on my own. i don't even feel i benefitted from doing my assignments.

i'm too naive. sucks.

You Are a Semi-Colon

You are elegant, understated, and subtle in your communication. You're very smart (and you know it), but you don't often showcase your brilliance. Instead, you carefully construct your arguments, ideas, and theories – until they are bulletproof. You see your words as an expression of yourself, and you are careful not to waste them. You friends see you as enlightened, logical, and shrewd. (But what you're saying often goes right over their heads.) You excel in: The Arts You get along best with: The Colon

What Punctuation Mark Are You?

o boy. i'm so tired. so tired of studying. i need sleep.

yO!

oh gosh. i'm feeling so damn stressed now. i have a test tml afternoon and i'm not done studying. i have another test on thurs and i have not started studying. it's the damn bloody hell stats. i have a development essay due this friday and i'm not even halfway through. i'm so dead.

amidst all the these, something good came out from this ordeal. i managed to fulfil my craving for hotcakes this morning! and, i've received an email from the JS department; i will be hosting an OPU student! oh yeah! i thought i wasn't going to get it. gotta start planning where to take them already. but..... this will mean that i might not be able to make it for the meeting on 3.15 which i badly want to go. 3.16 is drawing near; i can't wait!

hmm. everyone seems to be working hard at everything. in their school work, in gakkai activities, for their members and friends. and i'm not. i have backslid. hai.

hmm.

been quite some time since my last entry. simply just too lazy to blog. wahaha. busy as well. and woooo! chingay finally ended. managed to take some pictures but lazy to upload. will do it soon. =X

anyway, which would you prefer? an internship or going for a summer programme? i simply can't decide. saw a few good deals for an internship but mostly not psychology related. and... my friend intro-ed me to do a summer programme in japan! woooo. 6 weeks in kyushu! omg. i wanna gooooo. i can almost imagine myself living and studying in japan even before considering to apply already. o faints. how?! how nice it would be if i can go for both. imagine going through the internship till end of jun and fly off to kyushu after that. waaaaaaaa. that would be great!
