Took a Tickle test called 'What's your goddess identity?'. And my result was 'You're an Angel!' Woohoo~ and the explanation of my result:

Just like the haloed and winged guardians of good, you truly have a heart of gold, sweet Angel. Whenever there's a chance to pitch in, save the day or just make life easier for the people around you, you're the one for the job.

You don't just jump in without planning - you use your angelic head to figure out how to do things right the first time, like only the most dependable goddesses can. Whether brainstorming a new solution to a problem, planning a surprise party for your parents, or lending your friends a wing to cry one, you've got the right instincts, so follow them whenever you can. As natural as it is for you to take care of the people around you, don't forget to treat yourself right, too. The best friendships, and loves, of a lifetime tend to blossom when you become your own guardian angel.

So don't listen to those who say nice girls finish last. People have always seen you as a goddess of thoughtfulness and good intentions, and it hasn't slowed you down a bit. All in all, Angel, you've got it made with your glowing attitude and ability to see from on high. So get out there and change the world!

Hmm, I thought... when you become your own guardian angel.. when I become my own guardian angel?? What does it mean? I'm thinking of Angelene who's been my guardian angel since secondary school. She's always so sweet and nice, and capable of providing encouragement and comfort to those around her who need it. She told me that she's my God-sent angel (just like the word Angel in her name!) who'll always be there for me whenever I need it. She made me realise what sort of person I am, and she showed me the wonders of a great friendship as she showered me with her care and love. I appreciate everything that she did--listening to me crapping, admiring my work, helping me in Chinese, keeping me company and making funny actions in tuition.. It's those small things that made our friendship blossomed. As a saying goes, 'Friendship is made up of a million little things' (some sort like that, I can't remember the whole sentence). And she's the only one who asks me whether do I have any prayer request. =)

Awww.... I miss her so much. Haven't seen her for months though she's staying near to my relative's house in Sri Petaling >.<

Today's Friendster horoscope for Virgo:
Look at any conflicts from an impersonal point of view. Remove your own emotions.

Details:
Stick to the facts today---logic and emotionless criticism are the only way to go. Some smart folks have been telling you that you must put a piece of yourself into everything you do, but today you need to remove your emotions from the equation. Your perspective is important and valid, but it isn't relevant to what's going on right now. It may also cause you to focus on stuff that isn't important to anyone else but you. Put yourself in other people's shoes today.

Sometimes things just don't come our way, not as we expected. When friends feel down, all I wish to do is to comfort them and be there for them. I want them to feel that they're still cared and loved, and that their state of depression actually worries me A LOT. I admit, I'm not good at expressing my feelings out, but the least I can do is to listen to their problems with all ears and understand their situation. Yet this is not always the case. I'd always hope that the people around me to be happy and joyful, but recent events suggested that perhaps my thought is just way too impossible.

There are times when people sort of misunderstand me because of my shyness. I just don't know why I'm not 'sporting' enough to show my thinking and emotions. I tend to keep them to myself. Is it the nature of a Virgo? Or is it because I always hesitate when I want to show my feelings? I wonder.

A dear friend of mine mentioned to me that I seldom praise people. I gave it a deep thought. I was thinking about the movie I Not Stupid 2 again. 'When was the last time you praised people?' I don't know. I'm just too bad at describing people and things. That's the reason why I don't like writing stories. I prefer writing factual essays using die-hard facts and reasonable explanation. I just don't have those flowery words and well-structured sentences in my mind to make stories flow like silver waves. And gosh, to think that I can't remember the last time I said 'you look pretty today' to any of my friends! That's kinda terrible. Sigh... I think I'll praise people more next time. To make people happy =P

I used to think that I am the listener, adviser/problem solver among my circle of friends. Even though I'm the youngest. *winks* Till now I still hold that role and I appreciate that my friends turned to me to share their problems with me. I gained experience from their problems, and I gained insight into how to solve problems better each time. I did learn a lot from my 'job/responsibility'. And I still need to learn.





p/s:I think I'm crapping this time..

Kinda sick of the poor wireless connection in hostel. Everyone here sure knows that..

Went to Port Klang last Saturday afternoon to see the big ship MV Doulos with my dad and 3 friends namely Siaw Tze, Kia Miang and Ling Sing. There was a bookfair and it was really hot and humid as Angelene mentioned in her blog. I bought two books, one romance novel and an inspirational-kind of book. There were lots of international volunteers on board. According to Su Fei, we could try out some Korean costumes below the deck but we could not find any access to go down. All we saw was the 'No Entry' sign. Sigh..

Kinda lazy to blog now..so I'd just put some photos we took~

me & Kia Miang in front of the ship

with some of the volunteers...ST looked so kekok beside 'her' handsome Hollander =P

There's hand painting outside the ship..cool~ but we didn't do any.

Well, at about 4 something we left the ship and headed back to Shah Alam...not to Section 18 (hostel) but Section 21. There's this Bon Odori Japanese Carnival held at the Panasonic Sports Complex (Masushita Sports Centre), and we were the first few to go in!! Woohoo~ Each of us got a paper fan. There were lots of Japanese food and many people wore kimono, including locals.

with a Japanese woman~

Well...there's a photo that I would like to upload but it seemed that there's a problem...so till next time then, hehe!

=^_^=

Last Wednesday we had mashed potato, fried chicken and vegetable soup for dinner. I prepared the mashed potato while Amelene fried the small pieces of chicken leg and dumped the vegetables in the rice cooker for the soup, which Kia Miang had washed and cut earlier before she went jogging. Siaw Tze was supposed to come and help us at 5pm but due to some unknown reasons she didn't. Never mind, we thought.. there's still one last job for her to do.. WASHING the plates!! =P

We finished preparing the food at about 6pm. I misscalled Siaw Tze to ask her to come and eat. Few minutes later she turned up at my door, saying, "So nice.. I can even smell the chicken from ground floor downstairs!!" Amelene said, "Of couse lah, I cooked one ma... You have to see who's the cook!" I faced Siaw Tze and told her that she had to wash ALL the plates after eating. "Yerr.. Don't want.. Later I have tutorial practice.. No time to wash.." was what she answered. "I don't care~" I said playfully. She excused herself and said that she wanted to take her bath first, had her materials for tutorial photocopied, then only come and join us for dinner. We said OK and waited for her..but we were so hungry, so we ate first. The mashed potato and fried chicken were marvellous.. and the soup, too. There were 9 pieces of chicken, and Amelene who initially didn't want to eat because she had a sore throat, said that she wanted one piece.. So I ushered her to take one. I took 2 pieces for myself, and left 6 for Kia Miang and Siaw Tze, 3 pieces each.

Amelene: Oopps.. I took one already and you only have two to eat.. why not you take one more, give Siaw Tze two pieces only since she didn't do any work..

Me: Never mind lah..Give her 3 pieces..It's OK..

Amelene: Waahh, you very sayang her noh..

Me: =^_^= *smiles*

SEE?! I sayang her so much...do you know that, big sis?? =P

Anyway she did wash up all the plates after dinner. For goodness's sake.
