Apparently according to the personality test I did, I am a Harmony-seeking idealist. I wonder if how true this is?
Harmony-seeking Idealists are characterised by a complex personality and an abundance of thoughts and feelings. They are warm-hearted persons by nature. They are sympathetic and understanding. Harmony-seeking Idealists expect a lot of themselves and of others. They have a strong understanding of human nature and are often very good judges of character. But they are mostly reserved and confide their thoughts and feelings to very few people they trust. They are deeply hurt by rejection or criticism. Harmony-seeking Idealists find conflict situations unpleasant and prefer harmonious relationships. However, if reaching a certain target is very important to them they can assert themselves with a doggedness bordering on obstinacy.
Harmony-seeking Idealists have a lively fantasy, often an almost clairvoyant intuition and are often very creative. Once they have tackled a project, they do everything in their power to achieve their goals. In everyday life, they often prove to be excellent problem solvers. They like to get to the root of things and have a natural curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. At the same time, they are practically oriented, well organised and in a position to tackle complex situations in a structured and carefully considered manner. When they concentrate on something, they do so one hundred percent - they often become so immersed in a task that they forget everything else around them. That is the secret of their often very large professional success.
As partners, harmony-seeking idealists are loyal and reliable; a permanent relationship is very important to them. They seldom fall in love head over heels nor do they like quick affairs. They sometimes find it very difficult to clearly show their affection although their feelings are deep and sincere. In as far as their circle of friends is concerned, their motto is: less is more! As far as new contacts are concerned, they are approachable to only a limited extent; they prefer to put their energy into just a few, close friendships. Their demands on friends and partners are very high. As they do not like conflicts, they hesitate for some time before raising unsatisfactory issues and, when they do, they make every effort not to hurt anyone as a result.

Yesterday was fun. Maybe we should make more time for activities like these and leave work when the sun is still up! I don't really mind if we are stuck in a jam, but to leave work when the sun is still somewhere up there and the sky is still sort of bright is kinda exhilarating! :)
Thank god for Michelle for MAKING me leave work! :p

Reading back one of my older post on
Big Fat Greek Wedding. There's a snippet in that post that make me felt so WTF because it reminds me of work and my favorite client of the month!
Why am I blogging about this? Mostly because I have nothing better to write about? Or maybe because THERE ARE TOO MANY WEDDING PHOTOS FLOODING AROUND ON FACEBOOK THESE FEW DAYS therefore making me feel like watching heartwarming love stories which leads to me blog about it? :P
There you go my dear client, you have a push factor from Internet to TV and back to Internet all from me! (@______@)"

A site that sells awesome vintage looking handmade jeweleries -
Tongue Chic. I "heart". Especially this long necklace called "Promises". My favorite accessory from that site.
Though simple, the necklace goes very well with any plain top... especially since I have SO MANY plain tops! :p
However, the best thing I like about it is the name. "Promises". Doesn't it sound dreamily romantic in a way? Imagine if this necklace is given by a loved one. A boyfriend or a husband. It will be like a token of promise, a token of love and care. A promise made by a loved one towards eternal love for each other.
Fine... dream on Ida, Dream on.

Suay issue number 1:
Went respondent's and the child is not home. Hello! The purpose of me here is to interview your child and you!
Suay issue number 2:
Went respondent's home, the respondent is great... but... TMNet just had to play jokes and decides to bail out at my respondents house!
Suay issue number 3:
Why am I so blur and why are there so many bullet holes on my body now?
Suay issue number 4:
Loitering around the mall, can't go home (cause of the jam), yet can't go to my respondent's place yet because its still to early. Run around the mall, looking for a cyber cafe, and TMNet just had to play jokes again. This time, the line at the cyber cafe is not working. I should had have a laptop with me!
Suay issue number 5:
At the end of the day, I only managed to observe half of a home visit from the two initial planned ones. WTF!
Mental note to self:
- In future, bring thy freaking laptop when going home visits. The waiting time somewhere can be spend on work!
- In future, drive thy own car to work! It makes things so much easier and it adds so much more stress!
- In future, learn to speak up and play tai chi!
- In future, bring the commissioning form to temple/church to be blessed before starting a project! Finance's blessings are not strong enough to make sure there are no screw ups!
- In future, be strong, stay strong, and hang on for two years!
- In future, never be the one that service the client. Let yourself to be the one being serviced!

I have lost the inspiration to blog.
Life has been mundane... and it only evolves around WORK! Never anymore do I have the energy to go club, to enjoy life and chit chat with friends or just to take a stroll in the park and enjoying the sunset and breeze.
Is this the life I'm looking for? I guess not. I hate stress, I hate problems popping up all the time that needs immediate attention. I like to be able to take my own sweet time doing something, I like to be able to just walk in slow strolls and not rush around like a busy city girl.
Somehow, I think i'm already loosing sight of what I like, what I want and what I love. I used to want to be a career woman, to climb to the top of the corporate ladder, to make use of the degree that I worked so hard for... and now... all I want is to settle down and enjoy life as it is without work coming into the way.
I guess reality can really change a person's perspective in life.
I have just started working, and already looking forward to a vacation... Just can't wait for Redang. Imagine myself sunbathing for a tan, taking slow strolls on the sandy beaches and enjoying the sunset. And best of all, spending time away from work and KL.

Heard some good news regarding a very good friend in Sydney. She is in a relationship again, I guess that is a good thing. That means she had moved on from her past relationship, settling well in a new place and enjoying her new life. :)
