My EQ

Your EQ is 167

Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar. Seriously though, your whole "Don't Worry, Be Happy" philosophy is really what defines emotional intelligence. You're warm, open, and very optimistic. You know how to act appropriately, even if you don't feel like it. You are a good communicator, and you have little difficulty with personal relationships - even when you're dealing with difficult people. In general, you are successful, capable, together person. You get what you want out of life.

My path no.

Your Life Path Number is 11

Your purpose in life is to inspire others Your amazing energy draws people to you, and you give them great insight in return. You hold a great amount of power over others, without even trying. You have the makings of an inventor, artist, religious leader, or prophet. In love, you are sensitive and passionate. You connect with your partner on a very deep level. You have great abilities, but you are often way too critical of yourself. You don't fit in - and instead of celebrating your differences, you dwell on them. You have high expectations of yourself. But sometimes you set them too high and don't achieve anything.

NYP joint conference wid Jiang Nan University

Went back sch for 3 days as i volunteer to help out for e Joint Conference... Help out for AV side... since it was @ TFA... hehe... pretty familiar wid tt place... so rather help out for AV den to sit n listen... :P

1st day... wen to sch @ 2pm for briefin... reach TFA bt no1... kinda surprise e AV technician rmb n recognise me sia~ chit chat for a while b4 ST and e others reach... was brief abt e duties on e 2 days: control rm for lightin n sound, backstage for switchin of slides, update corner for speakers to update like duh) and q&a for handlin of wireless mic... wanna do control rm... cuz can slack... anyway... dere's 4 shift for duty... so can do each duty once la~

anyway... e technician came down to backstage regardin some stuff... den came to tell me to off e service light... den ST wonder y... so i jus explain tt i'm frm TMT... blah blah... in e end... allocation of duty tt time... he ask me to do backstage for 1st duty liao~ den settle e rest of e duty... den he mention e intercomm to e rest... n he asked me to teach e rest... den dismissal~~

2nd day... 1st day of conference... get to backstage to prepare... wearin of intercomm bring back e memories of SA drama production... things went well i guess... if not ST won't ask me to take backstage for all shift liao -.- ya ya... end up i stay @ backstage for all 4 shifts~ to tink i wanna b @ control rm sia~~T.T

2nd day of conference... reach pretty early... set up of laptop n stuff... alone most of e time @ backstage... cuz jade wasn't dere for b4 lunch... bt not much diff actually... thing went well... other den 1 major blunder tt i made >.<

came to realise tt while i'm havin duty @ backstage... a few lecturers end up recognisin n rmb me >.<>

anyway... enjoyed myself dng those duty... n how glad i'm in TMT... something abt appreciation tt i share wid da abt... Perhaps, it's because that mostof the time, people neglect about those that work behind the screen... Thus when you are being thank for your effort while working backstage, you really feel appreciated? At least... that's how i feel...

I'm glad tt e lecturers feel tt i did a great job... bt i noe it in me tt i had made quite a few blunders tt could haf been avoided in the 1st place... >.<


can't w8 for minds carnival... where i'll help out for live audio~~


Edited on 2nd Oct:
Jus received an email frm ST...

Hi AV team

Thank you very much for helping out. Couldn't have done it without your help, the director and lecturers find the running of the event to be very smooth, and you guys are accomandating to their ever requests, especially Jie Ying. I'm sure you guys would agree with me.
Though it may seems a boring task, but without you guys standing by, in the event of mishap the conference would not be able to run, so your roles are very important.
All in all, thank you very much! and Enjoy your holidays!

Best Regards,
Stewart Tan

Kinda surprise tt ST mention me in e email... I'm really happy tt i'm bein appreciated... :D

Hurdles in Life...

Was havin a sms conv wid da... talkin abt an article in e malay newspaper... Cuz it happen to b abt an ex-collegue... Herit...


Kinda of taken aback by the stuff tt happen in his family... sometime tt will nvr cross e minds of mine n da's...


havin parents hu r drug addict n alway go in n out of prison... wid his mum passed away wen he was 8... havin to take care of his grandparent... his grandfather, hu haf cronic disease, passed away in april... he was the spark that started herit's interest in nursing...

Being poor and havin to depend on welfare, he could not afford to buy his uniform... his tcher bot his uniform for him... tt tcher was very concern abt him and would buy lunch for him, guidin him in his studies... a tcher tt herit respect veri much... however, the tcher passed away in may...

He is determined to cont his studies so tt he can help his grandmother n oso to prove tt he can lead a normal life despute he haf lesser in life... He was offered a scholarship for nursing sometime back... Now he is among e best student in his course wid a gpa of 3.5...


havin to work wid him on sat... chattin wid him n stuff... it's really unbelieveable tt he went tru so much even wen he was young... his determination in pursuin his dream for e sake of helpin ppl...

a really patient guy... a likeable character... friendly to everyone... n aft readin tis article, me n da haf a newfound respect for him...

his strength to hold on and pursuin his dream... it's really commendable...


if given e same situation, i believe a lot of ppl will choose to gif up den to cont to persue e dream or passion... i tink if i were to go tru e same thing, i would haf crumble...



This is not e onli story tt i haf read or heard abt... bt tis is e 1st time tt i come across a story tt involve my frien...


To Herit... All the best in life...

Guardian

e fact remain tt me n da been wantin to step out of e doors of guardians... at least... da had done it b4... i dun really dare to step out of it actually... not until i can get myself to go into another door 1st... both of us noe tt in some way... we been takin our current job for granted... our i/c been nice to us... givin us off wen we ask for it... not really demandin n stuff... bt sometime... it can get a lil too unbearable n a lil too rountine~

Quite a few ppl r surprised tt i still workin @ guardian... esp those tt noe tt i wanted to quit n change my job... afterall... i been sayin it since dec... which is like something i say for 9 months?!

e truth is... I can't really bear to leave actually... e people, e environment and e memories dere...

some of e customers r regular...

e experience tt i gain dere... frm interactin wid customer... to product knowledge... to bein a cashier... to plus sellin... n not forgettin e friend i made dere...


in a way... it was Yogurt place tt made me treasure workin @ guardian more... makin me realise how nice my workin experience is over @ guardian...


There are ppl tt asked me y i dun wanna transfer to central branches... since it way closer... bt i guess... i still prefer e small store... n not forgettin e above reasons...

欧菁仙 曙光 LYRICS

每当我很不开心的时候
我总爱对自己说
这世界不是小小的屋檐
天空好大好远

不经过寒冬哪来梅花香
没有黎明怎么会有曙光
人生的道路崎岖或平坦
还不是要自己去承担

等待天亮， 期待曙光
将心中阴霾都照亮
假如全世界不再有黑暗
我的生命会不会更灿烂

等待天亮， 期待曙光
将心中阴霾都照亮
假如全世界不再有黑暗
我的生命会不会更灿烂

谁能够只有快乐不悲伤
遇到挫折不沮丧
人生的旅程怎样多变幻
要靠自己的判断

不经过寒冬哪来梅花香
没有黎明怎么会有曙光
人生的道路崎岖或平坦
还不是要自己去承担

等待天亮， 期待曙光
将心中阴霾都照亮
假如全世界不再有黑暗
我的生命会不会更灿烂

等待天亮， 期待曙光
将心中阴霾都照亮
假如全世界不再有黑暗
我的生命会不会更灿烂

Song: The Art of Letting Go

The Art of Letting Go

Put away the pictures.
Put away the memories.
I put over and over
Through my tears
I've held them till I'm blind
They kept my hope alive
As if somehow that I'd keep you here
Once you believed in a love forever more?
How do you leave it in a drawer?

Now here it comes, the hardest part of all
Unchain my heart that's holding on
How do I start to live my life alone?
Guess I'm just learning,
Learning the art of letting go.

Try to say it's over
Say the word goodbye.
But each time it catches in my throat
Your still here in me
And I can't set you free
So I hold on to what I wanted most
Maybe someday we'll be friend's forever more
Wish I could open up that door

Now here it comes, the hardest part of all
Unchain my heart that's holding on
How do I start to live my life alone?
Guess I'm just learning,
Learning the art of letting go

Watching us fade
What can I do?
But try to make it through
the pain of one more day
Without you

Where do I start, to live my life alone?
I guess I'm learning, only learning,
Learning the art of letting go.

Movie: Wall-E

Went to SDC to watch Wall-E 2day...

really like e movie... touchin~ n pretty sweet too~


can't help wonderin if technology haf simplify our life a lil too much... to e pt tt 1 day all we can do is rely on machines, robots and technology to get tru our life... Gettin lazy to even get up to change or eat, much less exercise...

Wall-E... aft watchin tt... make me think abt e future of Earth... perhaps not e near future... bt i tink... wad's deplicted in e movie will happen one day... Earth covered with rubbish that it become a mission impossible to live on it anymore... Gng green... tt's wad been e topic isn't it? tryin our best to save Mother Earth by reducing, reusin and recyclin... Each and everyone haf to play a part to save our Earth...

Wall-E n Eve is sooooo sweet... e part where Wall-E wanna hold Eve's hand... e part where Eve tried to restore Wall-E parts... e part where Wall-E 'lost' personality he had n revert back to e feelingless robot tt he was wen he was 1st created...

n M-O is soooo cute... haha... cleanin up aft Wall-E... hehe...

n e cute lil cockroach~~



not bad... like tis movie lots... not forgettin e lil trailer before e movie... amusin... haha...


plan to catch other movies which include: Bad Habit, High School Musical 3...

Noe Myself better

Took some quiz... result of 1 of e quizzes tt i took...

Get to know yourself better

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education
Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
