right, may the force be with collecting angpows,
cheers~

oh and if u're interested.. a personality type-list thing i pulled of k.yin's blog: try it here

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:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

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 things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

how accurate do you think it is? tell me your opinions ! comments are enabled, teehee.
mwah, ppl.

ego be !

zomg, sudden influx of posts !

actually its a tag which was given to me by wen. though i usually couldn't be assed to do tags, since she's been such a sweetie to me and actually remembering me and *cough* praising my current display photo, i shall humour her.

**pasted from wen's blog.

some rules which well.. i'm not tagging anyone. tag yourself if u want =)
and i'm not changing any questions so i'll just get straight to it !

1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?
i trust my darling not to but if he did.. well it depends on the nature of the betrayal. though i don't believe in second chances.

2. If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be?
erm, the whole being rich and famous and stuff. definitely not my trapped in a connex train with zombies kinda dream.

3. Whose butt would you like to kick?
honestly, maybe chris's last time. not anymore. i dunno, haven't had the urge to kick anyone down the stairs in a long long time.

4. What would you do with a billion dollars?
donate some, pay for my parents' house, my bro's house, pay my education and buy myself a home and car, buy my sister a home and car, put some away for investments and hire a good investment banker. and of course, spend some, but i think spending like a couple hundred thousand on clothes is more than enough. oh and tour some. hahaha,i dont' 'think my billion will last long.

5. Will you fall in love with your best friend?
erm, best friend's a girl. and my sister to boot. no way. i mean i love her.. just won't fall IN LOVE with her.

6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
not much difference is there? it sucks to love and not be loved but it equally sucks to be loved but not to love. wait, given the choice i think i prefer being loved then loving.

7. How long do you intend to wait for someone you really love?
well, the longest i'm willing (and had waited) so far it was two years. and i don't regret any second of it. my baby's worthed it.

8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
as a general rule i ONLY like guys who are interested (and unattached) first. saves me the trouble of having to steal him away from someone else, teehee. coz that's super unethical. and i don't like doing stuff like that coz its morally wrong. but i like getting my way. makes the dilemma worse. so, only if he likes me first.

9. Is there anything that has made you extremely happy?
i'm happy a lot. going to perth in 10 days is the most current one. i'll be happy about something else as the time goes.

10. What takes you down the fastest?
i have no idea what this question is asking. so i'm not answering.

11. How would you see yourself in ten years time?
10 years and i'll be.. erm.. 31? eee, hopefully CEO =p

12. Who is currently the most important people to you?
family, ash, friends, iorek and bloo and wicket. yes, i know they aren't prople but they deserve a mention anyway.

13. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
loud but yes a "very nice, sweet and adorable". ahhaa, i lifted that off her blog. i can imagine if i say anything she doesn't like, she'll SO kill me. lol, love you babe!

14. Have you SMILED today?
erm, yea, i did coz my tutor's hilarious in a really blur way.

15. What's the first thing you do when you wake up?
turn around and go back to sleep.

16. Would you give your all in a relationship?
well i do and will. no point going into a relationship if you aren't going to go all in.

17. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick?
nope, won't happen.

18. Would you forgive and forget no matter how horrible a thing the someone has done?
erm, i dunno. it really depends on waht the 'horrible thing' is.

19.Do you prefer being single or having a relationship?
relationship. its nice having someone to rely on.

zomg super long tag-_-

doomed to be bitten

Rules: For those who have been tagged, you are required to write a story about one of your crushes, be it a current or previous crush. To be exactly different from the common tags, there is no questions imposed this time. All you have to do is to write a story about him/her. Also, five persons will need to be tagged at the end of the post. You must post up these rules before you start writing.

boo. so i got tagged.
i really don't do this mushy kinda stuff on my blog. not my thing.

BUT i also know vin's gonna make my life hell if i don't do it.
she did tag me and stuff. and i'm scared of being bitten by her. *sigh
*~vînbåBy~*//emo says: u got tagged
*~vînbåBy~*//emo says: and u have to do it!
*~vînbåBy~*//emo says: i wan to read =p
| j-ann* | fat central says: ..
| j-ann* | fat central says: but i got mkw work to do!!
*~vînbåBy~*//emo says: is a good way for me to know stuff
*~vînbåBy~*//emo says: is 9pm
*~vînbåBy~*//emo says: u wont sleep till 1 or 2
*~vînbåBy~*//emo says: plenty of time!=D

and i have the awful habit of NOT being able to say NO.
so, i shall put aside my marketing assignment, my law tute AND my accounting revision to humour her and write something about one of my crushes. -_-"

SO NOT MY THING.

so what to write?
there's nothing to write.
yes, my crush (more of a best friend) is a guy and he knows who he is, i know he reads my blog, and i dislike parading my personal life on the web.

for the lack of anything to say, i shall cut and paste lyrics from boys like girls 'thunder'

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors

i shall promote this song coz i'm currently in love with it.

sigh. i'm going to get bitten anyway. -_-"
why embarass myself AND get bitten? that's a lose-lose situation.
this works. at least i DID do the tag. i'll just tag anyone who reads my blog and is in the mood to do the tag.
there's nothing to know. i lead a simple boring life. if you're really that eager to know about all this stuff, ask me. i'll not blog it.
