a great way to wait for my hair to naturally dry is to post a blog entry...
woah! it's been yonks since my last proper entry. so what has happened since then?
basically in chronological order...
1) exams have finished
2) turned 21
3) went to surfers' paradise
4) went to wollongong
5) went into depression due to fear of failing uni subjects
6) recovered from depression from getting my results back
7) been out a few times with my friends... yeh, dinner and hanging out and all...
after skimming through the past month or so, i can talk about today...
met up with jo at about mid-day so we could go to newtown to shop and hang out. stupid trains were stuffing up because of train track works, so we had to catch a rail bus from ashfield to newtown. jo shouted me a red bean icy pop. it was really nice! yay!
first stop, an illegal, market style store where these jap chics were selling things ranging from $1 to $10. literally. i spent a total of $20.50 and managed to acquire:
1) 2 tank tops
2) 3 tops
3) 1 skirt wannabe top
4) 4 souffle containers so i can make my own souffle
5) 1 *the snowman* mug
i had to carry these things all day as we criss-crossed king street at newtown. but from what jo had told me, we have only seen 1/3 of king street. but the main problem is, a lot of the clothes stores have changed to restraunts. daymn...
why did i buy so much from those jap chics (1 could literally speak fluent french) and a true blue french guy (literally, with an accent and all)? because jo and i thought they were THAT out of cash to survive in australia. i wasnt planning on buying so much especially from (2) onwards. but then, christine recons they were 賤賣-ing their things because they cant fit everything in their suitcases on their trip back to japan. i just wish i knew at the time... well, for whatever reason they were 賤賣-ing their possessions, one man's junk is another's treasure, is all i shall say...
there are all these weird stuff on sale on king street, ranging from really pretty to really cool to really odd to just funky. i have finally physically touched a florence braodhurst bag today. it was a bit of an anti-climax because of the actual design of the bag. the materials were nice, the patterns werent there and the price was just piss-i-ly exaggerated. but hey, at least i got to touch it rather than just look at these things in magazines.
lunch killed the whole atmosphere when i had to settle for 2nd best at a cafe. the menu did not specify onions and the chef was too arrogant to make me a new plate, so i had to pick out the finely chopped onions from my dish. it sucked and im still feeling bloated from it... i've been farting all day, the most at newtown so the wind could just carry it away (hahahahahaha) but i guess i've learnt a great lesson today: always ask what they have in their food... ><""
jo and i pretty much didnt spend again at newtown. the shops just didnt have anything that motivated a spending impluse. there was one particular shop where jo and i were REALLY close to spending... very sad but true, the store is just like the HUNDREDS of stores around Hong Kong... 銅鑼灣, 旺角, TST... even 柴灣... full hk-ie fashion to the max. the style, the colours, even the prices matched hk-ie dollar values. what i mean by that is, a top you can get for HKD$120 is literally priced at AUD$120. i know, it's all economics, but that sucks totally.
jo and i then left for dinner at strattie. the bus trip back to ashfield was a tiring one and as i was trying to rest, i banged my head on the bus window, right on the area of my head where the hair pin was. the pain. the shock. guess what, i woke up. no more brain dead. more like brain killed...
we just werent hungry. honest. for some weird reason, and under very profound conditions, jo and i coincidentally saw jo's dad waiting for jo's mum and their family friends outside strattie plaza. it turned out that jo's mum and their friends were already in the restraunt. such a strange coincidence. it was like as if jo and i were meant to see him before dinner or something.
so we went to this krn restraunt which had no vegetarian food whatsoever. but i wasnt hungry at that time. after that we went to another restraunt for ice cream. jo and i were so bored and tired, we started to act like year 9 chics who have reached their peak of puberty... thinking back, i feel sorry for the waiter who had to put up with our giggles and stares haahahahahaha he wasnt hot or anything, but just in the wrong place at the wrong time. hahahahaha
when jo went to pay for the ice cream, i felt really bad for having jo to shout me any more food, so i neaked some money into the back zipper pocket of her hand bag... we were being so asn tonight, fighting over who's paying... so i thought sneaking that in her bag while she wasnt with her bag was the simplest, quickest and best way to solve my dilemma. =) and she'll get a surprise next time when she opens that pocket! yay!
met up with christine and she drove us to burwood so we could all go to ANOTHER cafe. christine was hungry. what can we do? =) i told a guy who i thought was just a random waitor at the cafe to wipe our table properly. it turned out he was the owner of the place. when we were leaving, i went and paid my due respect and gratitude to the owner. =) just too nice...
went back to jo's place and watched law n order and criminal intent. the two stories were stupidly similar tonight... women killing other women for a man. men are just not worth such sacrifices, sisters! what did the men do in the end? they left you! didnt even pity you ONE BIT.
jo's house is so pretty and big and her parents are nice as well, even though i didnt really get to meet them. im sure i will get to meet them properly next time!
christine drove me home then... way past my curfew. i hope my parents get over it soon... =(
today was a long day and i had heaps of fun.
SHOUT OUT: MR & MRS CHEUNG, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME OVER! CHRISTINE, YOU'RE NOT AS TALKATIVE AS ME! bahahaha! JO!!! Newtown was an anti-climax but it wouldnt have been the same without you!
love you guys heaps!
until next time something cool happens, tata la!
JYKW
ps. SHOUT OUT: sorry wai ho for missing your calls! i didnt hear my phone at all... solitaire next time la! hahahahaha

Kids risk 'deafness' with MP3 players
July 20, 2006 - 1:34PM
Teenagers and young adults who listen to MP3 players too loudly and too often risk going deaf 30 years earlier than their parents' generation, a charity warned.
Deafness Research UK said a national survey in Britain showed that 14 per cent of 16-34-year-olds use their personal music players for 28 hours a week.
More than a third of the 1,000 people questioned in the poll said they had ringing in the ear, a sign of damage to hearing, after listening to loud music.
"We are warning young people that they are putting themselves at risk of going deaf 30 years earlier than their parents' generation," said Vivienne Michael, chief executive of Deafness Research UK.
Young people are exposed to loud noise from MP3 players, sophisticated sound systems in homes, clubs and cars but many are unaware of the damaging effect it can have on hearing.
Nearly 40 per cent of the people questioned in the poll said they did not know that listening to loud music on a personal music player or in clubs or cars could damage their hearing.
Twenty-eight per cent said they went to noisy bars, pubs or nightclubs once a week.
"Hearing loss can make life unbearable. It cuts people off from their family and friends and makes everyday communication extremely difficult," Michael said in a statement.
The charity advises people to follow the 60-60 rule. Do not listen to your MP3 player at more than 60 per cent of maximum volume and do not listen to it for more than 60 minutes at a time.
It added that if the music from a headset is loud enough for the people around to hear, then it is loud enough to cause hearing damage.
Noise levels exceeding 105 decibels can damage hearing if endured for more than 15 minutes, according to Britain's Health and Safety Executive.
Normal conversation is about 60 decibels. Heavy traffic is about 85 decibels and loud personal music players are 112 decibels.

Still Counting...
today is the 2nd day of my hibernation. i havent stepped out of the house for 2 days. well, the furthest i went today was the garage. at least i walked *out* of the house, yeh?
dont get me wrong, i havent been totally studying or whatever. i procrastinate a lot. a bit too much. so i guess i can't really complain about not having enough time and how im scared im going to fail something this semster, yeh?
apart from refusing to go outside of the boundaries of my home (more like the four walls of my home), another sad thing is that i have $0.25 so go until i actually go OVER the $230 worth of calls i can make per month. how sad? i dont go out, i dont do anything. but my phone bill sky rockets. but then again, being the *oh-so-popular-and-social* me, how else am i supposed to talk to people and keep in contact? =P
it's funny how i get hungry so frequently when im (supposedly) studying! it's like i HAVE to be constantly munching and chewing. but then jo just told me (yeh on the phone but she called me) that she cant help it either. i think that's why i feel not bloated, but just kind of, *gasp* FAT.
seriously, that F word is such a taboo these days. you can't say it in public, you can mention it, you cant even hint it. sooner or later, the S word is going to turn taboo... and i mean the word SKINNY. or the T word, THIN. and then one day, we just cant compose a sentence with more than 5 words because everything is taboo.
dont you just hate it when you were going to say something and then suddenly you can't remember a single trace of it? not even like a crumb of the thought. mum recons it's an early sign of the Alzheimer's Disease. =S
oh yeh! i remember now. i recon my heater is giving me a tan because each time i turn it on and my whole room literally becomes a sauna, the next morning i look a little darker. james lee recons my heater can't give me a tan because it doesnt give off UV rays or something. but im serious, the heat coming out of the heater, is burning my epidermis. it's true. dont argue with me. *raah!*
anyhow, i better leave this here for today.
1 down, 3 to go... $0.25 left... and still counting...

The Hard Truth About iPods
Got this email from dad. I've put it up on my Xanga already. Can't help but post it here as well.

The Hard Truth About iPods
Sumner Lemon, IDG News Service

Put your iPod on pause for a moment. There is something you should know: The Chinese factory workers who assembled your music player work long hours and do not earn a lot of money.
Many of these workers are employed by Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., a Taiwanese contract manufacturer known by its Foxconn brand, the Mail On Sunday, a U.K. newspaper, reported last weekend.
Low-paid workers toil long hours at Hon Hai's Longhua, China, plant to produce Apple Computer's popular iPod nano music player, the newspaper said. It put the monthly salary of these workers at 27pounds (AU$67.79). Workers at a different company that produces the iPod shuffle were paid 54pounds per month. These workers paid for their own room and board, which amounted to around half of their salary, it said.
The manufacturing relationship between Apple and Hon Hai is typical in the electronics industry.
In most cases, electronics manufacturing isn't handled by the company that sells the final product, but by a contract manufacturer. Vendors squeeze the contract manufacturers hard to boost their own profit margins, often playing one off against another to get the lowest price. In turn, contract manufacturers look to reduce their costs as much as possible, and that means keeping wages low.
This hard truth explains how corporations can produce affordable electronic products, such as computers, game consoles, and digital music players, that are exported to the U.S. and Europe.
"The monthly wages earned are, yes, low. However, the buying power of those wages can put food on the table," said Danny Levinson [CQ], publisher and editor of BDL Media's ChinaCSR.com, a corporate social responsibility Web site.
The greater purchasing power of the renminbi, China's currency, was noted in a 2005 report on Chinese factory wages commissioned by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. "Prices of goods and services vary greatly among countries, and the official exchange rate is not a reliable indicator of the relative difference in prices between China and other countries," the report said.
Most manufacturers, including Hon Hai, rely on migrant workers for labor. These workers, usually young women, come from China's poorer rural areas in search of jobs and a salary. For these workers, a monthly salary of AU$67.79, plus room and board, is more than can be earned at home and provides an important financial boost for their families.
Workers are often housed in company dormitories, usually within the same compound as the factory. Security can be tight. Most factories have security guards stationed at outside gates and entrances to the factory.
For example, at Dell's manufacturing plant in Xiamen, workers pass through a metal detector when leaving the factory. The measure was designed to prevent the theft of valuable computer components, such as memory modules, that can quickly drive up the company's manufacturing costs.
Apple is taking the allegations of difficult working conditions at Hon Hai seriously, it said.
"Apple is committed to ensuring that working conditions in our supply chain are safe, workers are treated with respect and dignity, and manufacturing processes are environmentally responsible," it said, noting that claims made in the Mail On Sunday report are being investigated.

got my econ350 assignment back. didnt get any sort of remarks except for *good work*. james lee said he'll get his after the exam so he wont be affected by his mark. james zhao was complaining about his mark even though he only spent 5 hours doing it... my friends are funny hahahahahahahaha. i was planning to email my lecturer and ask where my 4 marks went since i was only 4 marks off full marks and because he had only written *good work* as a comment. he didnt even tick any of the boxes in the marking criteria thingie-o. but then again, who cares... better spend more time on studying for the finals aye?

got my 3 marks back for my law assignment because my tutor realised it was my computer's fault and not my inability to choose 1.5 line spacing. *sigh* im still pissing-my-pants scared about property law. fark.
got my econ350 assignment back. didnt get any sort of remarks except for *good work*. james lee said he'll get his after the exam so he wont be affected by his mark. james zhao was complaining about his mark even though he only spent 5 hours doing it... my friends are funny hahahahahahahaha. i was planning to email my lecturer and ask where my 4 marks went since i was only 4 marks off full marks and because he had only written *good work* as a comment. he didnt even tick any of the boxes in the marking criteria thingie-o. but then again, who cares... better spend more time on studying for the finals aye?
dont wanna talk about my fin310 assignment. carol and i are daymn pissed about it. not happy. full stop.

Funny Stuff
SHOUT OUT: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARREN! I HAD SO MUCH FUN TONIGHT! hehehehe
let's start with sometime in the wee hours of yester-morning...
jules calls me up and whispers down the phone to ask me how much i've done for constitution. i was friggin sleeping and it took me a while to register that i actually answered my mobile, WHICH WAS ON VIBRATION. apart from the surprise that i had unconscionously answered a call which i would not have heard, was that it's near the end of the sem and people are still asking if im doing constitution law this semester.
no i am not doing constitution this semester. and i wont be for this year. im planning to do it next year. hehe =)
but she's not the first one to ask me how much of constitution i have done. it's funny how many people try to scab notes off me because that would seriously mean they are struggling because im not one of the nerds who kick everything... and people know that
and then this morning. i woke up and as i was walking around the house, i felt something was in my sock and it was getting really annoying. guess what it was!!! it was half of my toe nail. i dont know what happened, now one on of my toes, i have half a nail and the occasional pain. but it did break off nicely. i dont have to cut it for a while now. hehehehe
went to darren's place for his birthday. FINALLY learnt how to play poker and i guess i can start talking to chris about it at uni haha... the food was nice but not the stuff we had to eat/drink when we lost in poker. my tummy still hurts from my concoction. eiw...
eunis told me darren was turning X this year and i actually believed her. i bought the wrong card ><"" because darren was actually turning X-1 this year... argh!
anyways
enough for this time...

Today, Today, Today...
today was a half long day because it wasnt a full long day (so to say) yet a lot happened. well not a lot full on, but enough...
oh yeh, just got this from wai ho...
http://www.eepybird.com/dcm1.html
what a waste of coke (i agree with ken here) but then it's only diet coke. ken said the coke in the gold bottle is really eiw because it has no sugar or something. i prefer sugar in my coke. hehe~~
anyways! back to today...
woke up heaps early (9 something) to practice the piano one last time because my exam, which was supposed to be at 220PM but the examiner had asked if i wanted to do mine earlier so i just followed her in at 2PM.
caught the bus from castle hill to wynyard station. had some food at this cafe but seriously, for $7.90, the grilled vegetables sandwich looked like some $0.50 toast from a school fete. it was THAT bad. no side chips, no side salad. i was so disappointed. i had even told the waitress that i was disappointed and i didnt think the sandwich was worth $7.90 and she said every other restraunt is heaps more expensive. but my defence was that say for $11.50, i get a larger sandwich AND side dishes of either chips, wedges or garden salad. i was really unimpressed. but oh well, i couldnt start up anything because i had to keep myself composed for the exam.
we went past a red cross donation building thing, and next to it was a shop, kind of like the odd op-shop but nicer and brighter. the things were actually real branded items and they were donated to the red cross. how nice of people. =)
so mum and i were looking at the skirts on the rack and MAN WE SAW THE BEST BUY EVER! a skirt with belt for $15. i so recon if the skirt was at MYER or DJ, it would have been $50-$60 up. my bro didnt see anything in particular but we still bought him a vest. haha, cant let go of such an opportunity! and i saw a really cute vest for $10. seriously, no one can resist such a shop!
but one thing that scared me was the real rabbit skin/fur jacket they had there on sale at $130. i thought it was mink! seriously, i was so brain frozen when the lady was like *that's really nice for real rabbit fur*. mum, my bro and i just left (we've paid already).
then we went to the AMEB studio and basically sat there. well, i sat there in fear, while my mum and bro were just bored crapless. blahblah blah, long story short, went in, had an exam, came out. i got a grade that was heaps better to what i thought i was getting in the morning but not as good as what i expected myself to get. so it was all good.
we caught the bus back to castle hill and we all had afternoon tea at castle tower. i had a really nice, banana, caramel and cream pie and a mug of hot chocolate. mum had a muffin and coffee. my bro had this really nice but kinda gay carbonated apple juice/drink. haha~ i so can't get buy without a slice of cake or something these days. the cream was so nice! and the chic gave me whipped cream and ice cream on the side! now that's what i call service and for just under $5, it was worth it. unlike *some* un-mention-able *cough* grilled vegetable sandwich *cough* at wynyard station *nudge nudge wink wink*
we had hot pot for dinner tonight as well~ really yummy and warmed me up for a winter's day like today. =)
SHOUT OUT TO TINA: CONGRATES FOR PASSING 8TH GRADE CLASSICAL! WHOO HOO!! WE BOTH PASSED OUR PIANO EXAM! YAY!!
so i guess today was an aight day to balance out the shyte i was going through for the past 3-4 days. *sigh* i guess i'll have to study harder for the finals, yeh?
well, until next time, tata la~

ps. SHOUT OUT TO JOANNA, CAROL AND ROSS!! thank you for your encouragements! love you guys heaps! oh yeh, and james lee coz he did mention good luck to me haha~~

Deeply Cut
i was deeply cut just then by an old friend. *sigh*
it's like when people have their own careers and life, they tend to throw away everything else they have once said, and stupid enough i actually took what they said to heart.
now that everything they have ever dreamt of have come true, what about the things they've said before? what about me? am i to just sit here and hope that things will turn out right?
well, i do wish them well. i guess that is all left for me to do? i mean, seriously, i feel used and down right stupid but at least their lives are perfect according to their dreams.
crying about it won't do anything because they'll never know... it's times like this when i really feel lonely and isolated. and all people can do is pick an argument: saying im being snobbish and not messaging people even though im online. what is there to say when no one has just gone what i have? i was totally cut at 2:30 in the morning and the first message i get when i come online is why im not chatting when im online. well, if i wasn't bawling my eyes out because i was so hurt and i felt so used, then i probably would have messaged people, yeh?
what has my msn status have to do with anything anyway? im feeling lonely and isolated from everyone else and does msn have a status for that? im not busy, away, out for lunch, be right back, on the phone or appear offline. what happened just then was uncalled for and i didnt need other people being a busy body and caring about my msn status when a quarter of my world was collapsing. i tried to be civil about it and saw the funny side of it but people just took the wrong cue and it shows how much importance you place on yourself.
it's like im half dying here, crying in pain and all you do is make a big deal on how im snobbish and ignoring you?
but then to some people, who am i to you? :( who do you think i am? a marketing strategy? *hi, im from australia* wow such broad, international market appeal! my arse, that is...
all i know is that im still deeply cut... all because i should have gotten over this ages ago.

Correct Punctuation
SHOUT OUT: HAPPY 20TH YE WON! WHOO HOO!! and guess what! it's the 6th of the 6th of the 6th... i mean 060606 or... 666! bahaha! nah, dont be superstious! i wish a happy birthday and all your wishes will so fully come true!
im currently taking a break from typing up notes for property law. which topic am i doing? i'm doing indefeasibility and exceptions.
so im taking a break and surfing on people's blog when i have realised something that i was meant to say A LONG TIME AGO. it is something that i believe was accidentally left off my zero tolerance list.
Ellipses are THREE fullstops NOT TWO.
i just cannot stand the amount of people who use two fullstops to indicate the trailing off when the rule is to use three. i was taught that ellipses are three fullstops and will only be three fullstops, not four, not two. this is in English and in Chinese, it is six. six and will always be six, not five, not seven.
if you do not believe me, check this out:
http://www.nyu.edu/classes/copyXediting/Punctuation.html#ell
it says:
ELLIPSES
Use for omitted material.
Use for a pause longer than a dash (but do not let a writer overuse this device).
For example, The text was trailing off ...
note how in the example, three fullstops were used instead of two. that is because ELLIPSES ARE THREE FULLSTOPS, NOT TWO.
oh gosh! i cannot stand the amount of people who do not understand this!
im going to post this entry in all my blogs! i want everyone to know this!
ARGH!
JYKW
ps. today was pretty funny... (see the ellipse?) hmm, i'll put something up about today later.

I'm here!
it's been a while since my last proper post and quite a few things has happened.
before i continue...
SHOUT OUT: TO ALL MY FRIENDS WITH BIRTHDAYS IN JUNE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! THIS GOES TO... YEWON, ZOE, CHLOE, JOANNA... hehe~!
im currently in bed haha i bought a laptop the other day and honestly, i feel slow now because this machine is so fast! and i bought an electronic dictionary as well. feldman asked why i needed one like a FOB and today, joe asked the exact same question. i wanted it because it'll make looking up a definition a lot faster. but i still encourage primary school children to use actual dictionaries.
so basically i have a massive dent in my wallet now. im so sorry chloe, yewon and zoe... i cannot make it to your birthday dinner/party.
i recon this will definitely come back to me, so that's why im planning not to have a massive 21st and just spend it with family and close family friends. i dont want to get dogged because yeh, i know how it feels. and then, i dont want people to spend money on me. it's the fact that it's a 21st that people feel they have to spend a fortune. i dont want my friends to go through a financial crisis because of me. one less 21st means one less present to buy means more money to say. =)
i got *re-united* with one of the first people i met when i came to australia in 1991. it was kinda weird because i thought she looked familiar and seriously, i was literally holding my breath when i asked her for her name. it turned out that she was really who i thought she was but too bad she has forgotten me because we moved from parra to dundas valley about 6 months later. it turns out that she left that primary school in year 4 and ended up going to baulkham hills high. such a smartie!
oh there was an awkward moment then because i asked a question that was very sensitive to the tone i use. so i asked her which degree she's doing at mac uni and she told me she goes to SIBT. out of curiosity i asked,
"what are you doing at SIBT?"
and if you really think about it, imagine how that question would have sounded if i had used the wrong tone of voice...
"what are you DOING at SIBT?"
and
"WHAT are you doing at SIBT?"
just as i was asking that question, it clicked and i had to cover myself so that i didnt sound too offensive. i didnt mean to make it sound slack, i just wanted to know which degree she was doing at SIBT. apparently she's doing arts in media or something and she's going to transfer to 2nd year mac uni next year. such a smartie. =)
im officially stressed about my finals and i know i shouldnt be complaining and i should have started to prepare for this earlier. i really dont want to fail.
i'v got my piano exam soon as well. i have finally got the hang of the pieces im playing and that is a little soothing to know haha... i hope i pass my piano exam as well.
i was planning to go to singapore and hk at the end of this year but now, the airfare is too expensive so i'm thinking of going to taiwan now. im still deciding. ><"" ross is going to singapore and malaysia next month and im so jealous! i really want to go to singapore.
didnt realise how much of my life actually revolved around money. i've noticed a few greedy thoughts have come up and it's hard to resolve them... still trying hard
well i better to go bed now. i have work tomorrow and i should sleep =P
until next time, tata la!

i recon this will definitely come back to me, so that's why im planning not to have a massive 21st and just spend it with family and close family friends. i dont want to get dogged because yeh, i know how it feels. and then, i dont want people to spend money on me. it's the fact that it's a 21st that people feel they have to spend a fortune. i dont want my friends to go through a financial crisis because of me. one less 21st means one less present to buy means more money to say. =)
i got *re-united* with one of the first people i met when i came to australia in 1991. it was kinda weird because i thought she looked familiar and seriously, i was literally holding my breath when i asked her for her name. it turned out that she was really who i thought she was but too bad she has forgotten me because we moved from parra to dundas valley about 6 months later. it turns out that she left that primary school in year 4 and ended up going to baulkham hills high. such a smartie!
oh there was an awkward moment then because i asked a question that was very sensitive to the tone i use. so i asked her which degree she's doing at mac uni and she told me she goes to SIBT. out of curiosity i asked,
"what are you doing at SIBT?"
and if you really think about it, imagine how that question would have sounded if i had used the wrong tone of voice...
"what are you DOING at SIBT?"
and
"WHAT are you doing at SIBT?"
just as i was asking that question, it clicked and i had to cover myself so that i didnt sound too offensive. i didnt mean to make it sound slack, i just wanted to know which degree she was doing at SIBT. apparently she's doing arts in media or something and she's going to transfer to 2nd year mac uni next year. such a smartie. =)
im officially stressed about my finals and i know i shouldnt be complaining and i should have started to prepare for this earlier. i really dont want to fail.
i'v got my piano exam soon as well. i have finally got the hang of the pieces im playing and that is a little soothing to know haha... i hope i pass my piano exam as well.
i was planning to go to singapore and hk at the end of this year but now, the airfare is too expensive so i'm thinking of going to taiwan now. im still deciding. ><"" ross is going to singapore and malaysia next month and im so jealous! i really want to go to singapore.
didnt realise how much of my life actually revolved around money. i've noticed a few greedy thoughts have come up and it's hard to resolve them... still trying hard
well i better to go bed now. i have work tomorrow and i should sleep =P
until next time, tata la!

你是個深懂權衡利害得失的人，外表看起來非常大膽，但是在行動前卻早已經過相當謹慎冷靜的思考，最後才作出決定，比如你很重視感情，注重人與人之間的關係，但也很會保護自己，在與人合作上期望做到公平，一定會算的很精明，有人侵犯到你的領域，會馬上採取行動抵制，是個功利主義者。
在事業上，雖然有時會被居於優勢的對手所圍繞，但是你能很慎重、冷靜的計劃，為超越環境限制而努力，因此你能夠針對環境的變化，很快的做出適當的因應措施，然後耐心等待下一個機運到來，結果顯示往往你能戰勝那些力量與才能都超過自己的對手。
在感情上，你很重視與每個朋友的交往關係，尤其是在選擇合作和結婚對象時，特別獨具慧眼，有選擇眼光，當發現對方不是很適合的對象，就會在不知不覺中很技巧性的遠離對方，盡量不會造成對方太過難堪，但還是會很重視這段關係，繼續維繫彼此的情誼。提醒你如果太過於高傲，會導致周圍人們的反感，造成惡劣的形象，也不要光是考量到得失與利害，要建立起讓對方打從心底的信任。
你的生命目標主要在交流、溝通、思考這些方面，個性比較孤僻，事業的起伏比較大。當你站在眾人面前的時候，可以將自己的才華發揮的淋漓盡致，很會用形容詞，講得頭頭是道，在眾人面前表現的很好，很亮麗，但是當曲終人散，一個人獨處的時候，其實是有些孤單失落的。
你的個性特徵是喜歡呈現出自己的才能，並且會設法讓自己多才多藝。個性中同時存在奇怪的一面，雖然你在與人相處時，總是能夠滔滔不絕，但其實你的所知有限，在專業的領域中學問不夠博，涉及的知識層面也不夠寬，這就是阻礙你跟別人交流最主要的原因。
你的優點是學習能力很強，能夠發揮所長，所以你喜歡慢慢學習，慢慢思索，也有豐富的才華，是個有思想也能夠充份表達的人。
你的缺點是太喜歡一個人獨處，常常是孤零零的一個人，雖然自己喜歡獨處的樂趣和享受，但會讓人感覺你是個孤僻的怪胎。
喜歡獨處的個性會防礙婚姻和一生的運勢，因為孤僻的特質不容易認識很多對象，雖然也會有機會，但是在愛情的表現上會偏向羞怯保守而拘謹，並形成一種愛批評及分析的性格，因此容易影響到彼此浪漫的氣氛，甚至會干涉或影射到對方而不自知，無形中打破和諧的氣氛而喪失機會，讓婚姻受到一些阻礙，而且在事業上也會比較晚成。
你的天賦潛能在於特殊的才藝，而且是綜合型的才藝，不是那種專心型的。比如什麼樂器都會一點，然後組合起來兼編曲，當一個編曲家。因此你可以把很多東西都學會一點，並發揮天賦潛能把這些才藝綜合起來，呈現出來另一種新的特殊才藝。
