Temperament: Phlegmatic

You are the harmonizer and peace-maker. You prefer life to be peaceful and flowing, rather than bright, changing and vibrant. You are a loyal & steady friend. You have the power to merge the ordinary with the extraordinary, but because you may take your time to do this, many people may perceive you as slow or unenthusiastic rather than seeing the real you that is simply flowing and meditative.

Temperament: Melancholy

You are a quiet sort of person who is sometimes very moody. You tend to be very perfectionistic which will cause you to always get things done right but will also stress you out. You sometimes have a hard time getting to know or getting along with people but are very faithful, sweet, and kind once others get to know you. You tend be attracted to Sanguines of the opposite sex.

A New Dawn

The year is coming to an end. Today's the last day of the year. How quickly time flies. I especially feel that this year. I haven't been updating this blog for a few months already (Many excuses and also some valid reasons. Am writing this in Wini's dad's study, using Wini's Internet connection... @.@ Thanks Wini...)

I had wanted to mark this date for remembrance :)

Some questions and musings for myself...

What have I done?
Have I learned anything?
Am I a better and wiser person with all the events and things that have taken place this year? Have I counted my blessings?
What's in store for next year?

Hmmm, am being very melancholic today... now...

But, I am very contented at this moment... very. At peace with myself and God ^_^

this is me - istj

ISTJ
The Duty Fulfiller
Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging


 
Serious and quiet, interested in security and peaceful living. Extremely thorough, responsible, and dependable. Well-developed powers of concentration. Usually interested in supporting and promoting traditions and establishments. Well-organized and hard working, they work steadily towards identified goals. They can usually accomplish any task once they have set their mind to it.

As an ISTJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you take things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things rationally and logically.

ISTJs are quiet and reserved individuals who are interested in security and peaceful living. They have a strongly-felt internal sense of duty, which lends them a serious air and the motivation to follow through on tasks. Organized and methodical in their approach, they can generally succeed at any task which they undertake.

ISTJs are very loyal, faithful, and dependable. They place great importance on honesty and integrity. They are "good citizens" who can be depended on to do the right thing for their families and communities. While they generally take things very seriously, they also usually have an offbeat sense of humor and can be a lot of fun - especially at family or work-related gatherings.

ISTJs tend to believe in laws and traditions, and expect the same from others. They're not comfortable with breaking laws or going against the rules. If they are able to see a good reason for stepping outside of the established mode of doing things, the ISTJ will support that effort. However, ISTJs more often tend to believe that things should be done according to procedures and plans. If an ISTJ has not developed their Intuitive side sufficiently, they may become overly obsessed with structure, and insist on doing everything "by the book".

The ISTJ is extremely dependable on following through with things which he or she has promised. For this reason, they sometimes get more and more work piled on them. Because the ISTJ has such a strong sense of duty, they may have a difficult time saying "no" when they are given more work than they can reasonably handle. For this reason, the ISTJ often works long hours, and may be unwittingly taken advantage of.

The ISTJ will work for long periods of time and put tremendous amounts of energy into doing any task which they see as important to fulfilling a goal. However, they will resist putting energy into things which don't make sense to them, or for which they can't see a practical application. They prefer to work alone, but work well in teams when the situation demands it. They like to be accountable for their actions, and enjoy being in positions of authority. The ISTJ has little use for theory or abstract thinking, unless the practical application is clear.

ISTJs have tremendous respect for facts. They hold a tremendous store of facts within themselves, which they have gathered through their Sensing preference. They may have difficulty understanding a theory or idea which is different from their own perspective. However, if they are shown the importance or relevance of the idea to someone who they respect or care about, the idea becomes a fact, which the ISTJ will internalize and support. Once the ISTJ supports a cause or idea, he or she will stop at no lengths to ensure that they are doing their duty of giving support where support is needed.

The ISTJ is not naturally in tune with their own feelings and the feelings of others. They may have difficulty picking up on emotional needs immediately, as they are presented. Being perfectionists themselves, they have a tendency to take other people's efforts for granted, like they take their own efforts for granted. They need to remember to pat people on the back once in a while.

ISTJs are likely to be uncomfortable expressing affection and emotion to others. However, their strong sense of duty and the ability to see what needs to be done in any situation usually allows them to overcome their natural reservations, and they are usually quite supporting and caring individuals with the people that they love. Once the ISTJ realizes the emotional needs of those who are close to them, they put forth effort to meet those needs.

The ISTJ is extremely faithful and loyal. Traditional and family-minded, they will put forth great amounts of effort at making their homes and families running smoothly. They are responsible parents, taking their parenting roles seriously. They are usually good and generous providers to their families. They care deeply about those close to them, although they usually are not comfortable with expressing their love. The ISTJ is likely to express their affection through actions, rather than through words.

ISTJs have an excellent ability to take any task and define it, organize it, plan it, and implement it through to completion. They are very hard workers, who do not allow obstacles to get in the way of performing their duties. They do not usually give themselves enough credit for their achievements, seeing their accomplishments simply as the natural fulfillment of their obligations.

ISTJs usually have a great sense of space and function, and artistic appreciation. Their homes are likely to be tastefully furnished and immaculately maintained. They are acutely aware of their senses, and want to be in surroundings which fit their need for structure, order, and beauty.

Under stress, ISTJs may fall into "catastrophe mode", where they see nothing but all of the possibilities of what could go wrong. They will berate themselves for things which they should have done differently, or duties which they failed to perform. They will lose their ability to see things calmly and reasonably, and will depress themselves with their visions of doom.

In general, the ISTJ has a tremendous amount of potential. Capable, logical, reasonable, and effective individuals with a deeply driven desire to promote security and peaceful living, the ISTJ has what it takes to be highly effective at achieving their chosen goals - whatever they may be.

08.08.08

I find 08.08.08 amusing; just like how I find 07.07.07 of last year special.

It's the number - just because they are the same. They somehow look nice... triple 08.

To many, today is an auspicious day to get married. Just read the wedding announcements in the newspaper, especially the Chinese dailies.

To some, its a good number for lottery.

To me, its a Friday, marking the end of the working week for me.

The day before the weekend.

The day to watch the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. ^_^

The day to just siok a bit and post an entry on nothing in particular, just so 08.08.08 is marked here. 8)

Back to School

The school break has come to an end and am back to work again... :(

Why do good things have to end so quickly?

(Yes, teachers DO dread going back to school... or is it only me?)

Truth be told... i am already looking forward to the next break...

Forgetable

i've just watched Indiana Jones and seriously, it was just a so-so movie.

The ending is just like so many of those other movies that ended up having alien entities that were trapped in some tombs or something and were finally set free and and fly off into the sky in some spaceships or something.

It all seems too familiar, just like an episode of the X-Files (or was it the movie?) where Mulder (or was it Scully?) went looking for Scully (or was it Mulder) in the Artic and finally they miraculously escaped from an alien-breeding facility deep in the ice, just before (Yeah, you've guessed it) the earth shook and the whole thing took off into the sky as a gigantic spaceship and left a gigantic gap in the ice! Gee, how original!!!

However, in this Indy movie, the Maya temple crumbled to the ground and the whole place was eventually flooded by the water from the river. (Yeah, AFTER the spaceship had taken off)

And the cheesiest part at the end is when Indy married his love whom he ditched one week before the wedding day many years ago.

Yaaaawwnnn...

Oh well, it's just another forgetable movie.

TakSioklah :(

Blur

Today SS went to The Hut to have lunch, alone. Yup, got a craving and drove there. It took me ages to find a legal parking lot but alas i couldn't find one after turning many rounds and waited. So parked at my usual illegal parking spot... er, so far, so safe :)

Went in The Hut and ordered my grilled lamb chop and a chocolate milkshake... :) Yes, i know. It's a fattening combination... :) But nothing can stop SS from her cravings... that is until i realized i had better check my wallet. It's the beginning of the month and i haven't gone to 'reload' my wallet yet... and i found out that i had only...

RM21.00!!! -__-

So off i dashed out of the restaurant to withdraw some cash from the ATM at the Alliance Bank which is just a few steps away and...

The ATM machine with MEPS is NOT functioning!!! -__- Gaaahhhh

And i was cursing myself for being so idiotic as to not having enough money for lunch, and that was AFTER i had ordered it... -__-

But nothing can stop SS from her food and she popped into her car and drove a few blocks away to AmBank's ATM, all the while hoping that the ATM would be able to dispense some cash. And she parked illegally right in front of bank and dashed in.

Crossing my fingers, i pressed the buttons and...

YES, money came out... XD

(Hah, you thought that i'd be so unlucky that this ATM is not functioning too, right? Wrong!)

Relieved, i dashed into my car and drove back and parked illegally, again...

Well, the food couldn't wait, could it? =D

When i got back into The Hut, the chocolate milk was already waiting for me :)... but it was too diluted :(

(Sigh, SS and her diluted drinks.)

Anyway, the food was good...

Ah, so satisfying... n_n

And full... *burp*

It's time for a little nap...

Thinker

Your Thinking is Abstract and Random

You are flexible, adaptable, and creative. There's many ways that you can learn - and you're up for any of them. You relate well to other people, and you do well working in groups. You can help people communicate together and work with each other's strengths. You don't work well with people who are competitive or adversarial. You prefer to work toward a common goal... not toward conflicting goals.

What Kind of Thinker Are You?
