I m an Artistic Leader!!!

Stupid LKY, he should have posted the address right if he wants people to do the personality test. Luckily, got other sources to allow me to access. Anyway, i was quite surprised by the results, especially considering how peace-loving a person i m :p

Highest: Type 8 (Leader) and Type 4 (Artist)
--> Haha fits the typical profile of a Leo doesn't it? But actually i dun consider a score of 7 that high but oh well its the highest for me. And an artist, hee hee they somehow dun seem to fit

Next: Type 5 (Motivator) [5] & Type 7 (Generalist) [4]

The rest are in the negative region liao but surprise surprise i actually got a -10 for Type 9 (Peacemaker). Hmmm.... since when did i become so non peace-loving... ...

Leaders are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.

How to Get Along with Me

Stand up for yourself... and me.
Be confident, strong, and direct.
Don't gossip about me or betray my trust.
Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender, vulnerable side.
Give me space to be alone.
Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me.
I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's a personal attack.
When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just the way I am.

Artists have sensitive feelings and are warm and perceptive.

How to Get Along with Me

Give me plenty of compliments. They mean a lot to me.
Be a supportive friend or partner. Help me to learn to love and value myself.
Respect me for my special gifts of intuition and vision.
Though I don't always want to be cheered up when I'm feeling melancholy, I sometimes like to have someone lighten me up a little.
Don't tell me I'm too sensitive or that I'm overreacting!

Its all about LUCK

Well bet my friends will be surprised why i took so long to blog about liverpool's success in the Champions League despite it being such an exciting, pulsating and whatever yada yada thing that they can come out with about the game. 2 reasons why i took so long:

1. I reached home at 7 and slept till 3 whereafter i went for a ex-class gathering, i.e. there was absolutely no time to blog

2. I like both Manchester United and Inter-Milan which translates into hatred for Liverpool and A.C. Milan respectively, so i have absolutely no interest in the match. I wouldn't be happy regardless of which side won the cup, simply because its a gross final set-up

Anyway, more than enough had been said about the match on the papers (which i simply refused to read) Just want to said that i hoped all the Pool fans out there recognised that it was a year where they seemingly had the mandate to win and thus it was luck which carried them through and so do not gloat too much over it. I hoped that they do not do what Man U fans did 6 years ago where everyone gloated over how good the team was when they won the treble where it was obvious to all that LUCK was again the determining factor (Schemiechel's impending departure a big influence as he is a player who deserves to win all the stuff then) I knew i was ashamed and embarassed to call myself a Man U supporter (haha thats why ppl seldom know i support Man U) since then due to the way some fans shamelessly gloat over those acheivements. Anyway, i am against the idea of allowing a fifth English team in the competition. Spain had already set a precedent by kicking out the 4th placed team then and what makes the English a bigger association than the Spanish. As for the rubbish idea that the holders be allowed to defend their trophy, its called RETRIBUTION simply because they were also the ones who set the precedent by refusing to defend their UEFA cup when they won it in 2001 because they qualify for the Champions League. Porto and Valencia soon follow suit. Therefore they simply do not have the moral right to argue on this basis when they themselves refuse to defend a particular trophy.

PS: Anyway, in case people thought i had change loyalty. I must reiterate the stance that Man U and Inter-Milan are the 1st 2 teams that i support due to the lack of coverage on local tv when i started watching soccer but Werder Bremen is still my NUMBER ONE supported team k.

Miracles do Happen

Another wonderful and special day. The feeling was really magical. U can dream and fantasize all about it but wow, no amount of words can bring justice to the magical feeling that i felt when it happened.

Another miracle happen, this time in Germany. This time round, its more significant and important cos it involved Werder Bremen (not like last week where it was a matter of choosing 1 out of 4 with percentages and all those stuff). Like last week, however, the equation was similar. Bremen had to win but fate was not in their own hands. They need Stuttgart to lose (only lose, no other results) and Hertha Berlin to not win (this one its ok to draw) in order to sneak in and get the last Champions League spot. Eureka, it all played out this week and la-la-la-la-la, we are in the Champions League again next season. Pity, it was not shown on TV, otherwise i think it will be as high as last week (or maybe even higher). Hopefully, the experience gained this season when they come up against all the sides who played so "professionally" will serve them in good stead come next season and they will be able to show the world what SV Werder Bremen is all about. ( I dun care! Last season was a farce. They are the best in Europe! Haahahahaahaaha!!!!!)

I can't Believe how Wimpy I can Get

Got sabo today by Lionel. Got this phone call from the New Paper regarding our response on how tertiary students here perceive guys who had done their NS. Haha the irony is that i didn't really completed mine. But hee hee i managed to pass on the sabo to HC cos he is always complaining about girls in school :p

Anyway, the title isn't connected to that event but to something after. Just in case, u all are wondering how wimpy i can get well i think it can't get any worse. I actually cried while watching Star Wars Episode III (yeah the big macho intergalactic war movie) I can't believe it also but the scene where Obi-wan "killed" Anakin, my eyes began to water. I felt sad for Anakin. He was really in the words of many a tragic character. I actually put myself in his shoes and wondered will i do the same and cross over to the dark side if the life of my loved ones are threatened, the insecurities, fears and despairs... It was made worse when i recalled the innocent boy that was potrayed in Episode I and his love for Amidala that made him turned. although critics might say the acting was not that good but i think the character was written in such a way that u don't really need good acting to understand the character... Sigh... So sad...

I HATE Arguments

Stupid Blogger. I was planning to blog this incident but it was down yesterday, making this entry a bit belated. But i guess one can imagine the sianess it caused me if i was still going to blog it now like more than 24 hours after the thing.

Anyway Tuesday was supposed to be a super good day with the singing and other stuff but it was spoilt by one moment of hot-headedness from me. Didn't know why it escalated but i think its just my love for argument ba. Anyway, i just don't like the way people like to sian others by just saying "Okay, its my fault" to bring an argument to an end because it simply implies that "I dunno what the f*** u r talking about but i just don't want to continue arguing with u anymore and if it feels happy for u to win, then i shall just let u win and satisfy ur ego" I mean thats not what an argument is supposed to be about. An argument is for thrashing out and understanding each other's view point and not just about winning and losing. Come on dude, we are past the stage of childish arguing and win or lose. Anyway, it was that i was just too tired to continue arguing at 4 am in the morning when he obviously can't see my view point, there was no thrid party around to arbitate and my words were getting stuffled. So i allowed him to say those irritating few words and concluded the argument.

Anyway, it was a sort of a bad way to conclude a beautiful day where i had a wonderful singing session and did something that i had never done before.

Relegation can be quite Exciting

Warning: For people who watches football only. U may be bored to death if u r not one!

Too tired to blog yesterday but whew the images are still fresh in my mind. Can't believe the Premiership could still be so exciting with Chelsea ramapagin all along. Anyway, i had wanted WBA to survive, reasons not being very convincing though. I mean its really funny but haha they had one of the most ugliest team around. (and what i meant is physically ugly, not playing ugly just look at the players. i know i m being evil here but its really true... ...) Anyway i think its the Robbo connection that led me to support them bah, just like how i started supporting Boro back then. Anyway the reasons for not supporting the other teams are as follow:

Southampton: Didn't really hate them that much but i just can't stand Harry Redknapp. Very irritated whenever i looked at him. But i do like Beattie and Crouch. Suppport: 30%

Crystal Palace: The one team that i didn't want to see survive. No players that i like. Don't like the colour of their jersey. Think their name sound terrible. Stadium also not nice sounding. Basically, everything i don't like. Support: 0%

Norwich: The other viable alternative to WBA. Main reason is their jersey is yellow, yes big bright yellow. Plus their players don't look that bad and they have nice sounding names. One of the more kan de shun yan team. Support: 70%

Anyway, after half time, Southampton was the one surviving. Not really happy but still okay cos WBA need only a goal to reverse everything. Then simultaneously, WBA scored while Southampton conceeded. Couldn't hide my excitement then. But shortly after, Crystal Palace were up. I was totally grossed out. The one team i didn't want to see survive reverse their score from a goal down to a goal up. Pheeewwww!!!!!!!!!!! But then with 10 min remaining, they lost their lead. WBA was up again and that was the end of everything

Realised my english isn't that good to capture all my emotions but wow its definitely worth savouring again. Hopefully this will be the good sign to say that my beloved Werder Bremen will be able to do the same next week and qualify for the Champions League.

There's still a chance

Yesterday was a special day... ...

Guess what? There is still a minimal chance that Werder Bremen may make it to the Champion's League qualifying next year. I know its a tough task but miracles do happen and as long as Stuttgart lose to champions Bayern next week while Hertha Berlin fail to win, we are through. Yeah i know its make tough by the fact that we have to play away but there's always a chance right. And also must hope that we don't lose and have to settle for the Intertoto Cup in the end.

Oh No Rob and Amber lost

Another season of the Amazing race ended. Felt quite disappointed that Rob and Amber didn't win. Haha i know that quite a lot of people actually hated them but i think its refreshing to see someone actually playing tricks on the Amazing Race. Its so refreshing and it sort of compensated for the relatively "short" race this time round.

Met Wendy, Wayne, Wenyi, Eugene and Zhenhong PS today. It was fun meeting up with them after so long. Realised i was the only one among the Dunman gang who was more gum with last time (but haha LKY is catching up nowadays too) I just couldn't understand why the rest not so receptive towards them. (Ha it even made ZH felt quite demoralised during class mails last time) They are fun to talk with and hang out too. Hmm... maybe its time for an actual class outing but then again the worry is always going to be there that people may stick to their cliques.
