did a "relationship quiz". can't really say this is true since some of the questions i can't answer for (no experience duh).
eXpressive: 8/10
Practical: 3/10
Physical: 4/10
Giver: 5/10
You are a XSIT--Expressive Sentimental Intellectual Taker. This makes you a Hellcat.
Yowza, you are fiery to be with. You're dynamic and volatile and a living roller coaster. You're also very attractive and immaculately groomed, so your target sex gets drawn in like a moth. You love the attention and never get tired of it. At a party you command attention, but you're a lightweight with alcohol and if you drink too much there can be trouble.
Like an XSYT, you tend to over-analyze things, so the slightest comment or action from your significant other can send you into a tailspin. Conflict with you can be either very productive or very dangerous. You are incapable of lying -- you have no guile -- and if your partner can't handle the truth, that's his/her problem, not yours. You are explosive when you're upset, but when the smoke clears you are right back on track with no ill will.
This is a highly effective way to resolve issues and keep them from brewing, but this can stun and hurt a partner with a more laid-back approach. You aren't angry later, but s/he might be. Make sure when you've gotten your satisfaction that your partner is satisfied as well!
You would never cheat. But combine your hot-blooded style with the fact that your partner is *attracted* to that style, and you've got a recipe for being cheated on. If you pair up with an X_YG (and that's not unlikely) you may get caught in his/her cycle of cheating. Make sure your partner feels appreciated and loved to balance out the fire of your approach to conflict.
If you're female, you're kind of like Evita or Teresa Heinz Kerry. I can't think of any famous men like this.
Of the 17488 people who have taken this quiz, 6.4 % are this type.

Warner's Tryst With Bloggers Hits Sour Note by The New York Times
hah! another reason why i shall not upload anymore mp3s for anyone in my blog ^^
hah! another reason why i shall not upload anymore mp3s for anyone in my blog ^^
[ yet another year has passed ]
looking back, all i see is.... nothing great... but i /have/ accomplished a few things. like graduated for one, got my first permanent job, tried out for a scholarship (which i'll explain more later), and probably a few others things which i can't remember (it's all mostly in this blog anyways).
so yesterday, first i get an e-card from my friend who thought he'd passed my birthday. haha, he actually sent it just a couple of hours before so.. not bad. then once again my good friend wishes me at midnight (australian time) and later at midnight (malaysian time) i get a call from her. thanks dahling ;)
i got 3 smses before i went to sleep and 1 just before i woke up. haha, enervate-chan always up so early in the morning ^^;; and a couple more during work along with some phone calls (1 person who called me up, never usually calls me up, didn't know it was my birthday.. haha, quite funny that one and he still doesn't know ^^;;). none of my workmates knew either. i only converse mostly with 1 and that also i just came to the company n all... at this point in our office relationship (professional of course) nobody is into the birthday things yet. all still formal a bit with each other.
left the office around 5:45pm, got stuck in a jam for a while, home by 6.30pm and as i walk in.. my dad (who'd also just returneth from work) tells me i got a letter. letter from the japan embassy. what's so ironic is.. as part of the application, it was an advantage to have a 'letter of acceptance' from a particular uni in japan to higher your chances of getting the scholarship. need a professor to guide you n stuff. so i'd emailed tokyo technology uni's international students department regarding it and surprised by their efficiency, i got a reply today from them telling me that i'd emailed the wrong people and needed to look for a professor (link provided by them) and a few more details about how to go about it. so i check the site during work for a suitable professor incharge of my field of "expertise" and found one.
wanted to come home and tell my dad the exciting news and draft and email tonight to be sent to that professor. so the ironic part is the fact that i get a letter from the japan embassy today as well. wanna know what else is ironic? i knew it would be today because the first test was on my mom's birthday, the interview on my brother's birthday.. and of course the next news from them would be on mine. i open the letter and guess what?! i didn't get it.
yeap, sad but... when i went for the interview that day, i'd met some people who'd attempted to get the scholarship a couple of times already. it's like doing your grade 8 piano exam and it's ok to fail it because it's not that easy and esp when you teacher doesn't have much faith in you since you're not that good a piano player but by a miracle of 1 mark you passed anyway. yep, something like that but in this case i was 1 mark short. just so happened today while surfing for the professor's details, i was also looking at the other japan scholarships offered here. 1 needed 3-5 years of work experience, and another i'm not so sure about it. might have to go to their office or something to get a application.
so in the time being, i'm lucky to have taken the job i have now, so i must work hard to do a good job at that :)
some birthday it turned out to be eh? well, i wasn't expecting much. especially in the "friends remembering department" because year after year it never fails to surprise me how many people actually remembers. sometimes you wonder whether should you not bother about it or, why do "I" even bother about others or... yeah well.. things. little things which make me hate birthdays. it has not been a birthday i've liked in 5 years so what's another to add to the list? should just keep what i did have/get closest to me. cherish those moments and perhaps it won't look so bad afterall.

cricketting... bug-like-sounds... continously buzzing, loud-soft-loud-soft... i feel like as though i'm in a jungle. but how i would be able to blog if i'm in a jungle? unless of course the jungle is equiped with wifi or my laptop has an uber network transmitter...
but instead i'm at work, listening to the irritating sounds of the servers. it's like some high pitched buzzing sound going on and on the whole day. argh ><
in other news, i'm bored. i haven't been doing much "work". i came in late today... 9.20am like that and guess what! i was still the earliest ^^; mostly today i'm just making the design part nicer, since i'm waiting for my colleague to finish with his part. we're suppose to finish this whole module by monday. seems so far away, but actually we only got 1 more day (not including the weekend).
am most likely gonna watch 'cat woman' on friday. a bit of a rush me thinks since it's a 6.40pm show. well, knowing gsc, they'll have their usual 20 minutes of advertisements before the movie actually begins anyways. and then on saturday, might go for 'the village'. all depending on my cousin when he calls me tonight. movie mania~ ^_^ (only reason why i can get tickets is because i booked them earlier this morning. haha!! i pwn j00 n00blets)
ah and good news in the yaoi-manga department. my friend told me about a website that has scanlated 4 volumes of sakende (unlike sakura-crisis). so excited! first thing i'm gonna download when i go home.
~(^_^~) (~^_^)~

they say, you shouldn't bring your work back home. in my case, that saying does not apply. if i didn't bring my work back, i'd have to go to office today to do it anyways -_-
after spending hours of reading codes, and trying to understand 'em, i think i understand bits.. and hopefully by tmr i'll be able to finish it @_@;;
in java, there's this one part where they declare some stuff like this: this.blah = blah, and everytime i think or hear "this love" by marroon 5 on the radio, my brain pictures it as this.love XD XD
okay, time for me to get a reality check @_@

has it been one week already? o.O
well, the interview was alright lar. it coulda gone better. my dad helped me through this. preparing and stuff, and i failed him when i coulda probably scored in the interview. didn't say the stuffs he told me to say -_-. of course, i do feel stupid, but what to do.
anyway, i went to the japan embassy at 1.30pm, filled out some stuffs and correct parts of my application. what do they expect, us to be perfect when we can't understand what they want even after reading it 5 times -_-;; by the time my turn came about, it was already 3.30pm. managed to meet some potential candidates, though they seem more qualified. plus i didn't request for a letter of acceptance from a university in japan. it seems that would make my application easier to get accepted. well, i just need to send a damned email. drafting it using proper words (so that they can understand) and being precise & concise (so that they don't misunderstand) is important.
the weekend was a totally relaxed two days. woke up in sat in time for lunch and spent most of the time on the pc (yet again) and watching tv (from one box to another). and on sunday i finally got to watch king arthur. good show, and i like this version better. at least it makes sense!!
after reading "the davinci code", you start wondering a lot about history. whether what was drilled into our heads in school was true or not. in a way, i'm lucky i'm not catholic (or christian), that way the book doesn't make much of an impact to my beliefs. added to that, i watched about 1/2 hour of "the passion of christ" (need to watch the rest soon or my cousin is gonna take the movie back!!! @_@), another truth-about-history movie. the events that took place, etc. wel, i can't say much about the movie since i haven't finished watching it. if the movie is banned here, then it's a movie you gotta watch!
today is a slow day. can't seem to code or look at my codes or even want to manipulate it so that it work better. however, i am making progress. just that today is so bleh. it started out all bright and sunny. warm as well. and now it's back to being cloudy and a little hazy. sometimes the weather does play a role on how you feel >_<;;
gotta get back to work :p
