Sesame Street Test
Your Score: Snuffleupagus
You scored 39% Organization, 55% abstract, and 54% extroverted!
This test measured 3 variables.
First, this test measured how organized you are. Some muppets like Cookie Monster make big messes, while others like Bert are quite anal about things being clean.
Second, this test measured if you prefer a concrete or an abstract viewpoint. For the purposes of this test, concrete people are considered to gravitate more to mathematical and logical approaches, whereas abstract people are more the dreamers and artistic type.
Third, this test measured if you are more of an introvert or an extrovert. By definition, an introvert concentrates more on herself and an extrovert focuses more on others. In this test an introvert was somebody that either tends to spend more time alone or thinks more about herself.
You are somewhat organized, both concrete and abstract, and both introverted and extroverted.
I bet you didn't think you were Snuffleupagus. Let's find out why.
You are both somewhat organized. You have a good idea where you put things and you probably keep your place reasonably clean. You aren't totally obsessed with neatness though. Alloyius Snuffleupagus (and all Snuffleupagus') is not sloppy by nature, but he moves so incredibly slowly that it is impossible for him to be totally organized.
You both are about equally concrete and abstract thinkers. You have a good balance in your life. You know when to be logical at times, but you also aren't afraid to explore your dreams and desires... within limits of course. Snuffy generally has very basic interests, but he explores his abstract sensitive side when he plays his snuffleflute.
You both are somewhat introverted. Originally Snuffleupagus was very shy and was only Big Bird's invisible friend. However as he has aged he has started to build new friendships with new characters. Like Snuffy, you probably like to have some time to yourself. However, you do appreciate spending time with your friends, and you aren't scared of social situations.
The other possible characters are
Oscar the Grouch
Big Bird
Cookie Monster
Ernie
Elmo
Kermit the Frog
Grover
The Count
Guy Smiley
Bert
Hey, don't be a grouch! If you liked the test, let others know by rating it below. Feel free to vote for your favorite character too.

Song of yore
One of the songs I always associate with RGS. I think it was because it was performed at the RGS opening when I was in Sec One, and that song has stayed with me since then. It's also a childhood song I heard from my dad's cassette tapes (remember those?) back in those good ol' days. And there is this one line that struck me when I heard it on my ipod today:
"Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same."
How true.
Those were the Days
Once upon a time, there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
Think of all the great things we would do
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
Then, the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If, by chance, I'd see you in the tavern,
We'd smile at one another and we'd say
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
Just tonight, I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass, I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me?
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
Through the door, there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

Jogging order
Conclusion? There is none. I don't think anything is concluded yet. But no, I am not satisfied with the results. Some things are beyond my control. Even if I could do something about it, pride prevents me from doing anything. The sadness is suspended. I can't bear to resolve it.
The OTHER one is a welcome distraction.
And if you want to know what this is about, ask me. Don't play guessing games by yourself.
On a happier random note, I went jogging on Sunday and I couldn't help but be amused at how all my fellow joggers stayed well on their side of the footpath. No renegade reckless jogger hogging the road.
I think it boils down to the order of society that has been impinged on us. Singaporeans are, on the whole, quite orderly. Or, we are taught to follow what Our Uncle Sam tells us to do. We follow instructions quite well and we are taught to obey the rules. Want Singaporeans to be polite? Start a "Courtesy begins with me" campaign. Want Singaporeans to speak Mandarin? Start a "Speak Mandarin" campaign. Want them to breed more? You can guess what happens next.
I don't think it reflects on how polite we are as a society. It's a mere ability to follow and to execute without that much thinking.
I am too tired to follow this train of thought.

Church pics
Here are pictures taken over the last 3 weekends as photographer at 2 church events. One of them was for the Epic Race. I actually deleted most of them since I passed them to Pastor Jhee, but I couldn't resist keeping some of them because they were hilarious! A bunch of people singing Christmas Carols with gusto in broad daylight on a busy street in the middle of May! That's always funny...
Oh and then they also played the "sandwich game" in Fort Canning:
And these are the happy people pre-sandwich game. One of them is Eunice. =)
Oh that's right, here's a picture of the happy photographers. I was in charge of Fort Canning, Ady was running around City Hall and Matthew was happily stationed at the Christmas Carolling venue - Paragon:
One was for a church children's outing at East Coast Park. Let's just say there were some games that got just a little violent...
And this was the armour of God game - quite inventive I must say.
I thought it was way more fun taking these pics actually because there was a lot of action going on and the kids were spontaneous. It was fun trying to catch the moment on all of their faces.
This picture is hilarious!
And I like how the space is captured here:
And then there are the leaders... don't ask me what Steve and Jit Kiong were doing:
Here are two my dear girls, Adrienne and Marianne!!! If you can't tell by now, they are twins. Their specs match their t-shirts!
Here's Ady and I with the twins and Vera
And here's how stressed Ady looked when she was distributing the prizes to the kids=)

Eusoff Hall
Feeling rather nostalgic. Here's a picture I stole off Ceyu's Friendster site. These are my E Block friends... It was taken shortly after I left hall, so that was before my hectic working days. How I miss those days=)
Birthday Blessings Part II
I don't have pictures! It suddenly occurred to me that I didn't take any pictures this time around!! All I have are memories! Dang.
On Friday, Dad, Mum and Jerrine met me at Ember for the family dinner. I thought Ember would be a change from the usual hotel buffet that we usually go to. I'm actually pretty sick of overstuffing myself. It's decadent and I can't afford to do it anymore. The metabolism has unfortunately slowed down so drastically and the cough is preventing me from exercising.
Ember was great. There was nothing I could fault with the food. The foie gras was a tad small, but for $20, I couldn't really complain. The lamb rack was superb. It was herb-encrusted and had little subtle sweet, sour and salty flavours oozing out at different times. Damnnit, no camera!!! =(
The apple tart was to die for. It was really unusual. The apple chunks were huge, but ever so soft, and they melt in your mouth. My parents opted for the banana tart with lavender ice cream. I didn't dare touch it (my banana phobia), but the rest of the family gave it two thumbs up.
On Saturday, I met some of my hall friends at Clarke Quay. Dear Lihui did the planning and the present buying. Thanks babe!! We went on a crazy eating binge. I felt a little justified binging that day because I had the best 20km run at ECP in the morning. We had Jap ice cream, then we went to Sho-U (It wasn't so great) and then we went to Brewerks for course No. 2=) Yes, my friends can eat. I was a bit horrified at one point. But Sho-U's portions were so unpredictable. There were no main courses. The portions came in varying sizes. Poor Yanxun ordered steamed duck breast, and all he got were 5 small thin slices of meat! We sat in the red room, which was a little round room with carpeted seating running around it and a glass table right in the centre. Actually the food was good and adventurous. I liked my scallops and prawn dish, as well as the squid ring with egg and tempura (heck, I don't even eat squid and egg and I still liked it), but the restaurant was almost empty. That wasn't a good sign...
Yes, it has been an insane but lovely week.

It's all about boundaries. That's what I realise. It's about not knowing how to draw one's boundaries. I thought that was a very good take on the issue.
What Isaiah said made sense. I may not feel particularly close to Him right now. But He is close by. He's in my reactions, in my thoughts, ingrained in my character. So yes, He's there for good now.
Birthday Part II is coming up.

Birthday Blessings
Yes I have been insanely blessed. I want to thank all the people who have made my birthday such a great one. (Haha doesn't this sound like an Oscar thank you speech?)
It started with Saturday night. It's massively decadent to be doing birthday celebrations so way in advance, but I met up with my secondary school friends for a great night out at Brewerks. Hmmm. I think I haven't seen some of them for at least a few months, so it was a good meeting.
On Sunday, my little girls and my co-leader at Sunday School sprang a surprise on me. We had a mat and food spread out all over, with a cake in the centre. I was so touched. They even gave me gifts! I felt bad but so grateful at the same time. Bad because I don't celebrate their birthdays. I usually just get everyone to pray for them. And massively grateful. I didn't know that some of them remember so many details that I've told them about me. They even remember I like dark chocolate or that I like the strawberry meiji chocolate. And they had been planning this at least since last week! These girls have sort of become part of my life in a way. I've been teaching them for 2 over years. Thanks for doing all that, Ady!!!!
And then my cell sisters cut a cake for me too. Again, I didn't expect anything because everyone was so busy this Sunday. Thanks, babes. You have all been so sweet.
Steve, ever the gentleman, sprung for dinner and a movie. We watched Pirates of the Caribbean, which is redeemed by Johnny Depp. I thought it was better than the second one, because my expectations for that movie were quite high after the spectacular first movie. No one else can play the role of Jack Sparrow. Absolutely no one. This movie had its occasional ingenious bits, like having Keith Richards - the inspiration for Johnny Depp's character - play his surly father.
And then there was sweet dear Jessica, my favourite room mate at work. Haha. I've enjoyed sharing the room with her. She knows all my moods and all my likings and pet peeves. And I tell her everything. It's going to be very sad for her to move away to corporate and have to share a room with someone else. Yes, I don't like change. I don't like having to adjust to a new person, especially since I think I've come to know her well and we really get along. Anyway, Jess organised a drinks thingie for me at Superfamous. Yum, bellinis with mini wagyu burgers! Slurp! And the crab cakes! All my favourite girls were there. Thanks babes!!!
She also bought me a surprise from Awfully CHocolate on Wednesday. Thanks Jess, you are the best!
Oh yes, haha... How can I forget Wednesday? Ah yes Wednesday. It will forever be etched into my mind as Lesson 101 of "Learning how to say no", something I've never been too good at. Well, Willy, Weehow, EC and JCHM decided to get me high and merry. Plans to go to Mambo and laugh at people had to be shoved after hordes of people got turned away! Apparently everyone in Singapore had the same plan as us. There were so many people I recognised. Ah well. So back to Butter. 2 vodka redbulls, 1 JUG of vodka cranberry, 1 whiskey dry and 1 glass of champagne. All in the spate of 30 min. Let's just say the night was memorable for the WRONG reason. I was part indignant, part grateful for the treat. And let's just say, these "blessings" didn't stay very long with me.
I was so sick in the morning, that watching tv where characters held wine glasses in their hands made me feel like regurgitating again. Hangover aside, the day was such a good one. Met dear Si, who was my good shopping companion, bought tons and tons... Si has been such a good friend through all my shitty times. We had our problems in the past, as all gd girl friends have to have at some point. Still, throughout, she's one of my most loyal best friends. Thanks for the time babe!!!
I also met P, who treated me to Graze despite his impending exams (which sound really scary). It was a great great dinner=)
And then I had a cake cutting at home. Thanks mum and dad!!! Slurp. Thanks for running down all the way to Taka just to satisfy your greedy daughter's food cravings!!!
There will be a part 2 tomorrow=)

Singapore Slings and Singers that hit the mark
Feeling a little flushed from the two very saccharine sweet drinks I had with D just now. We went to Long Bar. I'm surprised that he actually suggested the place because we've actually never gone drinking together before. Not that I can remember at least. We usually stuck to the tried and true burger joints or coffee haunts.
To be honest, the thing I enjoyed the most were the peanuts. And being able to toss them on the floor. I did it in the most unglam, Singaporean manner. In the "I've never littered in my life and I'm uncomfortable with it since I'm Singaporean" manner. Kind of reminds me of how I couldn't even spit out my gum in Morocco in the countryside because it didn't feel right. It's times like these that I feel absolutely truly Singaporean. Not my proudest patriotic moment.
Another unglam albeit somewhat patriotic moment of the night was my order of the Singapore Sling. I laughed hard when D ordered the strawberry daiquiri. How girly I told him. The Singapore Sling was a tad embarrassing, especially when a whole troop of American tourists sitting behind me (probably a tour group) was happily sipping the same concoction. My drinking of the Singapore Sling was akin to a Parisian proclaiming her love for the Eiffel tower. 'Nuf said.
It was good to hear from him and to hear how his life has been unfolding all these months since we last met. We last talked in February, but it's really different to see him and it made me realise that he has come to a comfortable place in his life, where everything seemed to come together and all was good. It was good to see that he had grown so much over the last year. I felt really happy for him. And it was good to laugh when I aired my gripes and when the band started playing songs that really fit the sentiments I was sharing. It also felt comfortable and warm to share about the things that mattered.
There was a sadness when it ended because I felt that I had stopped still but he had moved on. Last year, we were on the same page somewhat. Hopeful, and wandering, and unsure of what God had in store for us. This year, he had moved one step closer towards certainty. But still I was meandering.
We got more drinks. Now I got the strawberry daiquiri and he got the slightly manlier mojito. And then the tourists took their leave. As I sat there and watched the "satay fans" hanging from the ceiling flip back and forth and watched the band with the forlorn air doing their routine, I couldn't help but wonder whether this feeling would ever go away.
But it was a good night =)

Sickness sucks
I've just reached the lowest point of the year. I just vomited part of my dinner during one of my coughing spasms. URRRGH.
This is a bad year, health-wise, for me. I've never been so sick since I was what, 12? I had started to take my health for granted. So it is truly a rude shock to see my health going away. And I'm starting to wonder why.
Maybe I have not been exercising as regularly as before, and eating rich food. Or maybe my schedule is becoming more and more hectic. I'm doing later nights, I have busier weekends, I do activities out in the sun very often. When I exercise, I really go all out. But I've always lived by the mantra that we should just push ourselves. Every time we achieve a certain standard, we should reach to achieve just that little bit more. And if I don't exert myself and push myself harder during exercise, I would stagnate. Then where is the fine line between over-exertion and going that extra mile?
This year, I had coughing spasms for 3 weeks in February, followed by food poisoning in April. Then one week later, I had a cough that went on for 3 weeks.
Then just this Wednesday, I got another strain - I had a fever, and then the coughing started again. And then on Friday, I started getting the "running nose".
Today, as I was taking pictures for the event at Fort Canning, I kept getting the worst coughs. It was really scary and I could feel people shying away or tensing up around me. Who can blame them? I'm really a walking social pariah now. Everyone who has been hanging out with me is getting some flu or other.
Twice today, my food coughed itself back up.
God, please let me be well........

And if I don't exert myself and push myself harder during exercise, I would stagnate. Then where is the fine line between over-exertion and going that extra mile?
This year, I had coughing spasms for 3 weeks in February, followed by food poisoning in April. Then one week later, I had a cough that went on for 3 weeks.
Then just this Wednesday, I got another strain - I had a fever, and then the coughing started again. And then on Friday, I started getting the "running nose".
Today, as I was taking pictures for the event at Fort Canning, I kept getting the worst coughs. It was really scary and I could feel people shying away or tensing up around me. Who can blame them? I'm really a walking social pariah now. Everyone who has been hanging out with me is getting some flu or other.
Twice today, my food coughed itself back up.
God, please let me be well........
