Last year, I thought the G hotel logo looked so cool with the little choy san hat…
look at what a tiger it is this year!
Just did another personality test today….
Qualitative analysis of your type formula
You are:
- moderately expressed extravert (33%)
- slightly expressed sensing personality (1%)
- moderately expressed feeling personality (38%)
- moderately expressed judging personality (33%)
So I’m supposedly ESFJ…
When I thought about it a little longer, I decided to check my results with previous personality tests which I happened to record in my blog… (by clicking on personality on my tag cloud)…
In 2008, I was ESFP and in 2009 I was ESTJ… this year I’ve morphed into ESFJ…
Read all about it here:

Ever experienced the scenario when small fragments from your day come together and are pieced together in the wierdest way?
i was just reading Phil 4:8 today…
8 hours later, i’m surfing for a Chinese name for Ethan…
next thing you know, google lands me in a blog with Phil 4:8 on the header top, with an old blog entry below, written by someone who was faced with the same naming dilemma back in 2005…
weird coincidence…
I think I’ve never been more fond of a feel-good romance comedy since “When Harry Met Sally” and perhaps, “You’ve Got Mail”.. Decided to curl up in the sofa and watch AXN today – didn’t matter what was on… And voila! I’m so glad I caught “Stranger than Fiction”…
It’s starts off like a typical comedy – camera revolving around a central figure with a witty voice-over narrative… only in this movie, the main character, Harold Crick, suddenly realises he can hear the narrative… His life is being narrated by an author who is suffering from writer’s bloc and is desperately trying her best to “kill” Harold in her book.
Harold sees a psychologist who advises him to take medication or see a literature specialist. Preferring the second option, Harold soon discovers that despite the help he is getting, he may eventually have to surrender to his fate in the unfinished book. Meanwhile, the desperate author tries different methods to inspire herself as to how Harold should die.
Along the way, Harold meets Miss Ana Pascal… it’s the perfect romance that this movie needed – a simple, light, not too goofy romance with some of the best pick-up lines this side of Hollywood…
I just loved the script in this movie! Very good, Mr Screenwriter…
- Miss Pascal confesses her love for baking – “if i was gonna make the world a better place, i would do it with cookies”
- Harold brings Miss Pascal “flours”… little brown packages sealed with colorful tape.
- Harold keeps saying “I want you”… and then realises, “I only figured out up to I want you”…
- The author asks a nurse at the hospital where the dying are… when the nurse asks if she’s suffering from some kind of sickness… she replies “only writer’s bloc”
- The author doesn’t “kill” Harold after all because “If you have someone who willingly, knowingly, goes to his death, well isn’t that the kind of person you want to keep alive?”
Endearing / feel-good elements in the movie…
- Harold and Miss Pascal flirt a little in the bus… they are separated by the accordion-like bridge between both bus sections – I thought the back-n-forth movements were much sweeter than running around coconut trees in typical movies…
- Harold moves in with his friend and asks what he’d do if he knew he was gonna die… Friend replies “go to space camp…. you’re never too old to go to space camp”
- Miss Pascal’s button couch… I LOVED THAT! Large pink buttons sewn onto a black sofa… I want one!
- Harold’s watch is supposed to be the main prop, but I preferred his teeth-brushing moments…
- Harold’s simple unexpected song as he strummed the acoustic guitar on the button couch.
- Miss Pascal handing out two muffins to a homeless bum at her shop… which by the way has a lovely round window…
And kudos to those who did all the digital graphics on screen… I loved the techie feel of it – reminded me of the Iron Man… May I add that when Harold shouts to space in anger at the narrator… it really is more feel-good than Jim Carrey’s “Give me a sign” in Bruce Almighty…

Wowz, this kitchen suits me fine… guess the quiz was quite accurate.
I am a souz chef, while I may not love to cook, rather do so out of necessity, I am concerned about good nutrition enough to need a quality kitchen. I do not need expensive gadgets, but a good stove, oven and dishwasher, including ample storage to stock up.
If I have kids, I should make space for them to do activities at the kitchen island plus put children-friendly utensils at their eye-level so that they can help me by helping themselves.
Convenience is the key for my on-the-go lifestyle, so I prefer a kitchen that can accomodate the whole family while I am working in there…
