Happy Mother's Day... Mum...

the second sunday of may is mother's day... and today... 8 may... is mother's day...

juz like chistmas day and valentine's day, mother's day has become an opportunity for retailers to cash in on the kids, sons and daughters to show their love for their mums... but somehow things have changed...

10 years ago, it was simply a stalk of carnation or a mother's day card or maybe a small gift...

but turning the papers over the last couple of weeks had made me realised that mother's day gifts nowadays have progressed to more "high-class" and more expensive stuff:

spa treatment, facials, slimming programmes, jewellery, diamonds, meals in expensive restaurants at exhorbitant prices specially for that day and even holiday packages... is that wat they call infation??? i wonder...

anyway, wished mum a happy mother's day this morning and at the same time confessed to her that i didn't get any gifts for her... she said that there's no necessity to get anything at all...

dat's MY mum...

happy mother's day... mum...

and i love you...

Bitch-Slap

Bitch-Slap
You are 14% Rational, 28% Extroverted, 57% Brutal, and 28% Arrogant.

You are the Bitch-Slap, the hallmark response of any abusive husband! You are more intuitive than others, focusing more on feelings than rational explanations, and you are also probably very brutual because you care more about yourself than the well-being of others. As most of us know, brutality combined with emotion often leads to BITCH-SLAPPING, which is why you are called "The Bitch Slap". (This does not mean you are emotional, only that you are more affected by emotions than rationality when making decisions.) Another trait you possess is that you are very humble, which could mean you are insecure because very few people are brutal AND humble. Not only that, but you are also rather introverted, and any tendencies towards brutality you possess may also result from the fact that you bottle up your emotions and don't show them to others until you explode in rage. Most likely, however, you are not a VIOLENT person, just someone who is rather selfish. At any rate, being a bitch-slap does not necessarily mean you will abuse your spouse; it only means you are rather intuitive, uncaring toward others, brutal, introverted, and possibly insecure.

To put it less negatively:

1. You are more INTUITIVE than rational.
2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted.
3. You are more BRUTAL than gentle.
4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.

Compatibility:

Your exact opposite is the Braggart.

Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Schoolyard Bully, the Class Clown, and the Brute.

If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits.

The other personality types:

The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Capitalist Pig: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.

Cry...ing... Over You... Cry...ing...

saw this unfinished blog on my notepad today and decided to complete it... the first few paragraphs were written in February this year, it must have been a few days after Valentine's Day cos that was the day we went out for dinner... i remembered that we both didn't have a date and at the last minute we decided to have dinner... thanx for coming down to raffles city to meet me (cos i was kinda busy in the office preparing for the HK business trip)... and also for sending me home after that... i'm thankful for everything...

====================

dunno wat happened... all of a sudden, i started crying while writing my blog... because of the stress? or because of you? the latter, i suppose...

it's been a long while since i felt this way... the loneliness... the feeling... the unknown... juz after i've written the blog about huang shu jun's definition of wat love is all about, that evening i met you... and u blew my mind away... your smile... your chattiness... your everything... it does help to know that we're both in the same field of work... at least we can empathise with what each of us has encountered...

it's a very strange feeling cos we've only met twice and you left for shanghai... the short period at your house for dinner was kinda awkward... firstly i was a total stranger to your parents and your friends... the fact that your ex was there sort of made the situation worse... and the way you and your ex behaved... OMG... you're just like a couple... tho' you kept reminding me that you're not...

well, i thought the best parting gift that i could give you was to see you off at the airport... which i did... and ended up sharing a cab with your ex on my way home...

thanx for all the SMSes and the short chat we had before the plane took off... and of course the other SMSes after you've reached shanghai... and the telephone calls and MSN chats we had over the next few days... these were all memories now... which i cherish dearly... at least for that very moment, it felt like i was in love with someone... the feeling was good, however shortlived it might be... like wat dey said in the tv advertisement a long time ago: 不在乎天长地久,只在乎曾经拥有。。。

so, farewell, my friend... take good care of yourself in shanghai... tho' we may be apart now, i'm sure our paths will cross again in the future... and i'm looking forward to that moment...

cheers...

Sick...

On Tuesday, Kerry and I came back from KL, after a wonderful clubbing time there...

On Wednesday, started having running nose... all of a sudden, without any warning, the flu bug decides to hit me... took panadol extra, as usual, to try to suppress the effects...

On Thursday, my condition worsened... my voice became ultra nasal and very sexy (if you ask me)... went to see the company doctor and was given some medication... also was given medical leave for Friday...

Rested at home on Friday... recovering well... though somehow the phlegm started accumulating... took meds regularly and pray that I will recover in no time...

Kerry's theory was that I got the flu bug from him... the week before KL, he was very sick with flu, fever and stuff... and the bug must have jumped ship to my body, incubating while we were in KL... and once back, it decided to show its true colours...

Others felt that it could have been the lack of sleep in KL... and the late nights of partying... Hehe...

Whatever it was, I thank all of you for the care and concern... Appreciate it from the bottom of my heart...
