another test - the 9 personality types!

thanks to raven, i got it off her blog :D http://www.9types.com/rheti/homepage.actual.html

i actually scored the same score (7) on two types! type 2 and type 7.. reading through the two, i guess I'm a mix between them, but i really think i'm more of a 7 than a 2.. have fun! (lots of stuff written here for anyone who's interested haha)~

type 2:
The Helper (the Two)

Helpers are warm, concerned, nurturing, and sensitive to other people's needs.

How to Get Along with Me

• Tell me that you appreciate me. Be specific.
• Share fun times with me.
• Take an interest in my problems, though I will probably try to focus on yours.
• Let me know that I am important and special to you.
• Be gentle if you decide to criticize me.

What I Like About Being a Two

• being able to relate easily to people and to make friends
• knowing what people need and being able to make their lives better
• being generous, caring, and warm
• being sensitive to and perceptive about others' feelings
• being enthusiastic and fun-loving, and having a good sense of humor

What's Hard About Being a Two

• not being able to say no
• having low self-esteem
• feeling drained from overdoing for others
• not doing things I really like to do for myself for fear of being selfish
• criticizing myself for not feeling as loving as I think I should
• being upset that others don't tune in to me as much as I tume in to them
• working so hard to be tactful and considerate that I suppress my real feelings

type 7:
The Adventurer (the Seven)

Adventurers are energetic, lively, and optimistic. They want to contribute to the world.

How to Get Along with Me

• Give me companionship, affection, and freedom.
• Engage with me in stimulating conversation and laughter.
• Appreciate my grand visions and listen to my stories.
• Don't try to change my style. Accept me the way I am.
• Be responsible for youself. I dislike clingy or needy people.
• Don't tell me what to do.

What I Like About Being a Seven

• being optimistic and not letting life's troubles get me down
• being spontaneous and free-spirited
• being outspoken and outrageous. It's part of the fun.
• being generous and trying to make the world a better place
• having the guts to take risks and to try exciting adventures
• having such varied interests and abilities

What's Hard About Being a Seven

• not having enough time to do all the things I want
• not completing things I start
• not being able to profit from the benefits that come from specializing; not making a commitment to a career
• having a tendency to be ungrounded; getting lost in plans or fantasies
• feeling confined when I'm in a one-to-one relationship

current mood: very very bored on a monday afternoon...

facebook :D

thanks to raven, mabel, and wifey nic for introducing me to facebook :D not because i met new friends but because i realized that a lot of my really really good friends (yay i found my 'bestest friend' and ricky too :P) from highschool and some friends from UT have moved back to HK!

it's kind of addictive.. D:

it's the sixth day of the lunar new year D: which means that the holiday festive-ness in hong kong is about to end ~_~; i really enjoyed the happy holiday mood but when monday comes along, i'll be once again cramped in the mtr and have tons and tons of work to do D:...
BUT.. the sixth day is also my lunar calendar bday!!
so happy birthday to me~
when i was younger, i used to celebrate both 'normal' and lunar calendar bdays D: all those cakes and presents... D:

however... two weeks to sydney trip!!

wifey: i keep writing a msg in your blog each day.. since you blog every day, it seems like we're sharing the secret notebook again!! we need to keep this up....

randomly listening to: mika's nana album, yuna's first album, hirai ken's ep (all of them are so-so i think...)
any good music to recommend?

last night i went to watch 'Night At The Museum' (damn i had to look up the name in english because HK sucks in that they advertise the movie name in chinese.. and the chinese name either doesn't make sense, is irrelevant to the plot of the movie, or is a direct 'pin yin' of the english title name...so i end up never knowing what the movies that come out are called unless i've heard of it in some english news previously...) with lg718.. yes i know it's going to be one of those really silly comedies that make no sense and have a really stupid plot.. BUT. i enjoyed it.. i think it's something about the chinese new year where you dont' really care what you watch as long as you get some laughs out of it.. and laugh i did. a lot. so i'm glad i watched it... it has a bit of the 'pirates of the caribbean 2' type humour (although less funny and no johnny depp and i didn't laugh till i was crying..) and is great for when you dont' want to think so much! (it was either this or another 'the departed (chinese ver.)' chinese spin off..)

i want to watch nana 2! not for the new hachi but for the new shin and reira! my favorite charas~

current mood: nearly lunchtime :D italian food at soho :D~~

Happy Chinese New Year :D

happy year of the boar :D

17th - had a lovely home cooked dinner (yay for cold crab!! :D~~), then went out to a small flower market to buy flowers and food with lg718 :D we had tons of fun selecting random flowers to bring home~ we stayed at home for the count down as well (to cny) and had some snacks and lovely chiu chow tea afterwards~

my favorite is that purple ball-ish flower.. so adorable :D
my sis also happened to go to the larger flower market in cwb and bought the candy blow up toy that i kept seeing from tv! it's adorable XD she bought the large watermelon one (i wanted the strawberry one D: .. but it's ok XD).. it's HUGE...

from the front (sorry the lighting at home is terrible so it's kind of blurry :x) :

from the side XD:


18th - chinese new year!! as part of HK tradition, i had purchased a new coat and a whole outfit to wear for the first day of the new year (from head to toe XD). however, the weather was abnormally warm (around 25 degrees omg) so i ended up wearing this other outfit i had planned to wear later in the springtime, a cute short sleeved one piece gray dress :D
i had a nice lunchtime tea with my sis' husband's relatives and then went to shop around with lg718.. we went home afterwards and then visited his aunt and had dinner there too.. they then came over afterwards and played cards till late XD

random pics XD sorry about the colour, they were taken with the fluorescent lights on XD


lg718 who was playing nds but forced to take a pic XD

19th - second day of the new year, i stayed home in the morning because i had slept late the day before and we ended up watching this chinese movie ( it's kinda blah.. not too good)... afterwards i went to 'bai lin' at my great aunt's house (wow she's amazing.. she's in her nineties but very healthy and alart...) and i had a really good time.. this year my bro in law went for the first time and we had a LOT of laughs (especially considering how my bro in law is quite frank when speaking /sweat/.. there was an adorable toy poodle there that looked like a big bear! i was wearing white so i got micsis and my bro 'to borrow' her from the owner to play with for a bit.. her/his name is "piggy" (ju jai) and was such a good puppy we didn't want to give her back XD she didn't bark or get overly scared from strangers holding her! we managed to take some cute pics of her :D

ronbro (who looks good but the puppy wasn't looking at the camera lol):


me and micsis~ this is the ONLY pic that the pup looked straight at the camera and that was because the owner's brother was getting her attention and helping us guide her eyes to the camera!

20th - third day of CNY.. basically woke up early to drink tea with lg718's family and spent the whole day at his place playing mj/card games XD i also played a bit of MJ on my nds and managed to go from level four, to getting three orbs into 'green dragon' level! that's raising about five and a half levels @.@;; it all came from this one east round of mj, where i got the largest (i have no idea what i did really.. i gotta post the name of what i put together) amount possible.. 48,000 @.@;; i basically won the round second game into the round @.@;; craaazy~

21st - back to work today ~_~ but.. i got a few red pockets from my coworkers and boss! so all is happy~ will post a picture of my "victories" later mwahah~ like i wrote in nic's blog, i feel like i really 發過豬頭 because even though not all of the red pockets contain a LOT of money, i received a lot of them, so all those envelopes make me feel good ~ xD

happy chinese new year again~

current mood: XD

happy belated valentines!!

Happy belated valentines day!

i just got my bonus today so i'm giddy with joy~ it was pretty much what i expected to get and it's even better to get the actual cheque and see it for real :D

i get off work at around 4pm today too so even better! and Chinese New Year is coming up (18th!) and i get monday and tuesday off~

so far soo good~

anyway.. how did i spend my valentines day? well i had made gifts for my collegues and lg718 and close friends the day before and brought it all to work :D i should have taken a picture of the cute pink and white boxes with the chocolates inside to show off but.. i forgot ~_~;; however, i'm so glad that my colleagues loved the idea, loved the chocolates and really enjoyed getting a gift on that day :D i had taken some winnie the pooh valentines from my sis (she bought them in the US for her friend's kid ._.;;;) and wrote msgs and gave them along with the chocolates :D i even had comments such as "omg! i can't believe you made this !!! it was delicious!" and also "those (meaning the box + chocolate) are soo expensive..." by a passing colleague who saw the gift i gave to my other collegue :O (i forgot to make them some too ._.;;)
lg718's gift turned out nicely too and he finished them really quickly :D (he unwrapped it before i took a pic D:)


his gift to me.. yes i know it's quite hard to see XD;;


i got off work around 6:15 and met up with lg718 at p&s to buy food for dinner XD basically dinner was very random that night.. random as in he let me choose whatever foods i liked to eat without setting down an actual menu (ie. it's not steak, gravy, and spaghetti or something but just random items of food i love o.o;)... so i chose random items such as chicken wings, steak, broccoli, eggs and bbq pork XD;; lg718 is an amazing cook so everything turned out sooo delicious! (the cny thing hanging behind us lasted for over a year lol)


valentines day gets a lot less 'surprising' each year, and to me, i think it's just a day where you can give gifts of chocolate/flowers out to people you care about just because you can XD i randomly saw this tiny nice dough flowers and bought them for my sis who's always so sweet to me :O so it was nice to surprise her with it on valentines day :D

i got off of work at 4:45 today which was really, really nice. we had a nice lunch buffet at work as well so the day passed by really quickly! as it's nearing chinese new year, people are starting to really decorate their apartment buildings etc, and a lot of people are going to the 'lin siu', a kind of convention where they sell chinese new year flowers, items and random cute things :D as usual there will be waaay too many ppl so i doubt i'll go ~_~;;
harbourcity as usual has one of the most beautiful displays i've ever seen :O


random golden flying pigs (i love pigs XD so adorable) at langham place.. sorry for the bad centering D: i was on the long long escalator and i had to hurry to take a pic of the pigs before i was past them XD



current mood: :D

touching ~

Read this from yahoo news:

ROME (Reuters) - Call it the eternal embrace.

Archaeologists in Italy have discovered a couple buried 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, hugging each other.

"It's an extraordinary case," said Elena Menotti, who led the team on their dig near the northern city of Mantova.

"There has not been a double burial found in the Neolithic period, much less two people hugging -- and they really are hugging."

Menotti said she believed the two, almost certainly a man and a woman although that needs to be confirmed, died young because their teeth were mostly intact and not worn down.

"I must say that when we discovered it, we all became very excited. I've been doing this job for 25 years. I've done digs at Pompeii, all the famous sites," she told Reuters.

"But I've never been so moved because this is the discovery of something special."

A laboratory will now try to determine the couple's age at the time of death and how long they had been buried.
