something for you to know...

tried this personality quiz and i think it's quite accurate for me....

Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you:You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

"it's people like you that make people like me realise life's worth living for. have a nice day."

ahhh. i need to work hard on my debriefing session with them. really weak in that area..
HELP IDEAS PLEASE!!!

a proper closure

one of my client's father passed away recently. her relatives and father's friends were debating among themselves if they should do a closure for my client; to bring her to see her father for one last time. a couple of issues brought up and discussed but somehow eventually they decided that it is best not to do a closure for her and also she wont understand what is going on as well. thus right till today, at this very second my client is still unaware that her beloved father passed away. the one who love her most is no longer here with her and gone forever. i dont know the father personally and didnt get a chance to know him. pretty sad because i heard from my colleague that he is really a nice man.. like a mentor to people and always very affectionate.

i'm not sure if this is the right thing to do. making a decision based on your own opinion for someone. i know you guys struggled for a long time.. but because of that you deprive her of her only chance to see her dad for the last time. same for her dad as well... he didnt get to see her for a looong time. sigh.. i understand that she might not understand what is going on but i always believe that somehow they will feel it and they can feel it. right? give them a chance to mourn too..

well imagine.. the one who love you the most is no longer around and you are not even aware of it. maybe pining for him everyday and not knowing that he will not be here anymore... how will you feel? maybe to me i feel that it is important to do a proper closure especially when you are dealing with death. only than are you able to let go slowly..

finally something good

hangover....... ROCKS

for you, a thousand times over.

i read this book "the kite runner" a few months ago and finally get to watch the movie version today. im glad that the movie turned out to be good although reading the book itself is way better. haha. its pretty much similar to the book although some really nice part are missing. but glad that they didnt do any major changes to it.

a nice book that talk about the extraordinary friendship between the two boys amir and hassan. amir the master and hassan the servant.. amir who is always on the receiving end and hassan who is always giving and willing to go the extra mile for his friend without asking anything in return. hassan who is always there to protect amir. but one betrayal from amir broke up the friendship between them. how fragile can it be? somehow after reading this book, it taught me to appreciate all my friendships and everything i had.

i admire hassan's spirit. the way he treasure his friendship with amir. not everyone is capable of doing that. (:

so sleeeepy

presentation later. wish me luck.
neeeeed to do a good one. because that damn bloody lecturer is forever aiming me.
#$%^&

let's pray that they don't shooot me with nonsensical questions!!!

and after this final presentation.. IT'S HOLIDAY FOR ME!!! WOOOOOOOO

p.s- i cant wait for my upcoming trip!! hehehe

The Time Traveler's Wife

and this movie as well..



when i was reading time traveler's wife, i kept imaging that people will just disappear in front of me. just like how the book described it. hahaha. think too much.

i read both books and love both books. it better be as nice as the book please...

cant wait for it to be out. anyone want to watch?? hoho

My sister's keeper

awesome book. am definitely going to watch this movie.

the process....

just had my first session with the boys from RINPCC. it's the sec 2s now. aww. somehow i miss the sec 3s.. it was the first session with them and frankly speaking i had a great time with them. i was quite apprehensive at first.. (because was worried that they are not able to get into the "mood".. its really quite sucky when you got those really "stern" volunteers.. like they dont laugh they dont talk.. they just stare at you.. get what i mean? haha) but anyway.. im glad that it turned out ok i suppose?

im amazed with some of the young volunteers' ability.. like they are really flexible with changes. was suppose to play some games on the first session. but they were late and after my briefing it was already dinner time. so arranged for them to help out in the canteen instead. it was the first session and some of them readily agreed to it when i asked them to help to feed the residents. although they were some uncertainty initially, i'm glad that some of them manage to overcome the barrier. and they even offered their services. well done boys. am glad that somehow slowly... they took the first step in befriending the residents. although some are still afraid but at least THEY TRIED that's really important. (:

and manfred shared.. it doesn't matter if the outcome is not what you planned for.. most importantly you enjoyed THE PROCESS.

and yes I AGREEE!! often we are too caught up with our desired outcome that we tend to neglect the process. it is equally important for us to enjoy the process of achieving the outcome.. it doesn't matter even if you failed to achieve your outcome, because what matter is YOU ENJOYED AND EXPERIENCED THE PROCESS...

(:

and im looking forward to more sessions with them...

a random conversation with boss.
