have been rather busy the last two weeks..



on the 16th, we went to Kids United to carry out our charity programme! the first time CCP was a success! It was really tiring, under the hot sun and in the humid area of the centre.. we conducted games and art & craft for the kids.. taught them how to dance.. and ended with passing the parcel, christmas carols, giving out of goodie bags, group prizes and their presents! I have to admit that im one of those who were too tired out and sian by the second half of the day, to be enthusiastic, as mentioned during AAR last week. somehow.. i didnt do my very best again, for my second CCA.. and everything has ended..



OG8 Xmas Party on the 18th. Food was good.. especially the black pepper crab made by B's daddy!! I ate many many pieces, thanks to B for picking out the ones that were easier to eat, for me! :D Played Wii that i borrowed from my sis this time round.. It was hell funny!! Hahahaha. But by the time most of those who werent staying over left, i was really bored. Tried to sleep but couldnt.. I totally regret not showering man!! Thought i could last till the morning.. But i was feeling so itchy and uncomfortable all over cos i perspired like crazy while playing Wii.. and B's sofa bed was so dirty!! If you have to ask, the highlight of the whole thing was me going home for a long bath in the morning! It was the BESTEST thing ever! haha.



Last week's highlight was Xmas MGM on tues night! Though food was ok only and the exchanging of presents took like an hour(!?), seeing all the CCP people sit together, cheering for our dear IC really made me feel warm and fuzzy all over.. (: It's really amazing, like what Joan said, that we could bond so well within these two weeks.. Will definitely miss those im closer to.. especially my babies!! HEH. :D



Spent 24th, 25th and 26th with B! Woohoo.. we met 3 whole days in a row! loves! Watched Chipmunks on 24th.. walked around 313 again before i head over to granny's.. Those closer to me would have known that my parents and relatives have all found out bout B and I.. after like 1 plus year.. and yea you've got it, they knew all these thru facebook! Had some horrible times with my parents cos of religious issues and all.. Was prepared to get chopped on 24th's Xmas Gathering.. but NO! those who havent seen B before were asking me to show them B's photo.. Mum was really scary that night when people mentioned B, but after seeing how my aunties talked bout us and all, she actually softened. She came over and told me that she just hopes to see B go to church and hopefully he'll be touched by God and become a Christian. Maybe this might be too much for some people.. but as opposed to how she was treating me and B previously, this is really too good to be true! :D Hopefully B will get to visit us during CNY! :D



25th was spent at church! B and i went for 11am service.. After that had Purple Plate with my cell.. and off to PS for some shopping! Didnt get anything except for some hamster bedding, a new wheel (they are getting really faaaat), bath sand and A BOTTLE OF RABBIT PERFUME which could be used for hamsters as well! Hopefully Mango and Pudding wont be so stinky anymore!



On the 26th, B and I went to watch Cirque on Ice at Arina Waterfront with his two little cousins! The tickets were given free to his aunt and that's why we had the opportunity to go! It was really goooood!! Though the place they staged the performance was crappy. I mean, i wont pay 100 over bucks to sit in those kind of seats and use the stinky portable toilets. But the performance made up for all those! At some point in time, the stunts were really breath-taking. It was quite scary in fact.. Having to imagine them falling from so high into the hard ice.. i think they might even die.. Trained to a few places after that just to look for Gift A Name, where B wanted to do the keychains.. Didnt make any in the end.. had KFC for dinner!! :D After that B left me to train home alone :'( *sobs*



One week left and B's going for reservice! TWO freaking weeks. how can i not complain!! :( it would be so weird without him around with me.. after all these months of sticking together.. sighhh.. so guys please book me!! 4th to 15th january! and how people felt that i was dependent before i got attached.. I think im even more dependent now.. this is bad. >.<

I just did a quiz on my Personality Type on facebook!

The Provider (ESFJ)

E = (more Extroverted than Introverted)
People who are clearly Extroverts are naturally active and social people. They spend lots of time outwardly expressing themselves through conversation, collaboration, or recreation. They draw energy from this sort of interaction and quickly grow restless if they have to spend too much time alone or not engaged in some sort of activity.



S = (more Sensing than Intuitive)
Sensors are sensible and grounded, focusing on the concrete and the here and now. They learn through experience and are cautious with untested ideas. They appreciate tradition, but are open to new ways of doing things if they can see tangible benefits.



F = (more Feeling than Thinking)
Feelers are caring, supportive, and appreciative. They naturally reach out to other people, preferring to cooperate and agree rather than argue over who is right. They are comfortable with emotions, both their own and those of others.



J = (more Judging than Perceiving)
Judgers like to keep track of things so that they're not caught off-guard or unprepared, and for the same reason tend not to leave a decision up in the air or an issue unresolved. While they appreciate flexibility, even a little spontaneity, they're most comfortable when they're in control.



In general, ESFJs are helpful people who place a high value on harmony. Paying close attention to people's needs and wants, they work well with others to complete tasks in a timely and accurate way. ESFJs follow through on their commitments. They like closure and prefer structured, organized situations in which warmth and compassion are shown. They contribute to others by anticipating their day-to-day concerns and handling them with warmth and efficiency. ESFJs are at their best in organizing people to get a job done.



ESFJs in LIFE
ESFJ children want life to be uncomplicated, secure, harmonious, and structured. They are usually responsible, reliable, and cooperative. They thrive in situations in which there is consistency and personal attention. They enjoy the acceptance of others and will work hard to gain that acceptance. ESFJ children are concerned about doing the right things and pleasing their elders.



ESFJs follow the rules and tend to accept them as fair and reasonable. They admire people and teachers who are warm, friendly, and concerned. A nine,year,old ESFJ was mortified when his classmates broke a school rule by writing their names and his in chalk on their red brick schoolhouse. When his teacher continued to believe that he had written his own name on the walls, even though he said that he had not, he was very embarrassed and felt betrayed. To not be believed by someone he liked and admired was especially hard for him because it upset his belief that when one is well behaved and tells the truth, one will be rewarded. Sometimes when the rules or their enforcement are unreasonable, ESFJs may have trouble setting limits and not feeling guilty or betrayed by the system.



ESFJs are concerned about the feelings of others and like to help out when possible. An eleven,year,old ESFJ with a treasured doll collection watched a neighbor's house burn. She knew everything was lost in the fire, including the children's toys. In her compassion, she gave everyone of her beautiful dolls to the two little neighbor girls. It didn't occur to her that this was a great sacrifice; it was just her way of doing something to help in a tragic situation.



ESFJs begin early to assume responsibility for the welfare of others. They believe it is necessary to give as well as to receive and will often volunteer their time and talents in service or, ganizations such as the YWCA and hospital candy striper groups.



ESFJs radiate warmth and fellowship, and generally fit in well with their classmates. They value the traditional things that teenagers do and may be involved in various clubs and teams. Their friends often turn to them because of their "listening ear" and helpful nature. One ESFJ described herself as the peace, maker in her circle of friends. Whenever they had problems, they came to her. She was willing to listen, offer suggestions, and help smooth things over with the rest of the group.



As young adults, ESFJs focus on their relationships and values, which generally have to do with helping others and being with compatible people. They seem to have less difficulty than some other types in making friends and accepting their roles in life.



People play a significant part in every aspect of their lives. If friends decide on a particular college, for example, ESFJs may revise their own college plans in order to be with their friends.
Often the lives of ESFJs follow a traditional pattern. An ESFJ woman went to secretarial school because she knew that, with those skills, she would be able to find employment through which she could help others. In pursuing her studies, she met a young accountant, and they decided to marry. She continued to work and help her husband finish his degree. When his degree was completed and they had saved enough money, they bought a house and started a family. Until her children were of school age, she quit her work and assumed part-time employment. She felt a strong responsibility to personally meet her children's needs. While she was at home with her children, she was very involved in school, scouting, community, and church activities.



ESFJs make their family responsibilities their utmost goal. They like tradition and stability and generally choose to do what is expected of them by others and society.



In adult life, ESFJs take their parent, spouse, employee, or community volunteer roles seriously and are committed to them. They are sensitive barometers to the needs of those around them, sometimes more attuned to others' needs than their own. They gain the respect of others because of their helpfulness, pleasantness, and ability to get things done. They carry out their commitments and are often in charge of events. With their high values for relationships, stability, and loyalty, they may have long tenure in their places of work. ESFJs may misread business relationships as friendships and be disappointed when changes occur and personal contacts are not maintained.



Mature ESFJs often structure both their work and personal lives so that they can meet the needs of others. One ESFJ wanted to teach her children the importance of giving to others. She helped them bake and attractively wrap several kinds of holiday cookies. The ESFJ, along with her children, delivered cookies to their immediate neighborhood. They did this year in and year out, and their neighborhood looked forward to the cookie delivery. The ESFJ felt good that she had started her children in such a beloved neighborhood tradition.



For ESFJs, retirement means continuing to nurture and maintain the relationships that are most important to them. They keep their lives full of activities with people. ESFJs are recognized for doing nice, thoughtful things for others, such as sending flowers and notes, and making follow-up telephone calls. They are likely to schedule regular lunches and leisure activities with their former colleagues from work. If they have grandchildren, they will fill their time by offering to babysit, often at a moment's notice, or by helping in any way that they can. One ESFJ particularly enjoyed going to garage sales. He continually brought back for his grandchildren toys that could not be found in stores. He would take great delight in finding antique toys at these sales. Another ESFJ had a regular bridge group that she attended faithfully. Her life was very full with her relationships with others. When she traveled, she became the social chairperson of the group, seeking out others and including them in the activities. Whatever she could do to make the trips more pleasant, she would do. It made her feel good that others appreciated her efforts.



ESFJs at WORK
At work, ESFJs contribute their ability to cooperate with others and to complete tasks in a timely and accurate way. They respect rules and authority, and handle daily operations efficiently. They tend to be well informed and up,to,date on organizational actions that matter to people. ESFJs do what they can to make sure that personal relationships are running smoothly. Because they pay close attention to people's needs and wants, they are often involved in work activities that meet people's practical, day-to-day desires.



Work Setting
ESFJs prefer a work setting that contains conscientious, cooperative, values-oriented people who work at helping others. They want to be close to the action, working most effectively in settings that are friendly, sensitive to human needs, personal, and appreciative. ESFJs may not fit in well with departments that are highly bottom-line or production oriented. They tend to operate on actual facts and realities, liking things to be organized. Where possible, they make their workspace efficient, yet warm in tone.



Organizing Style
ESFJs want answers to questions such as: who, what, when, and where. They place a special emphasis on "who." They want information and structure because it enables them to quickly help others. They are often models of organization, with a "place for everything and everything in its place." Some ESFJs like the role of organizational "historian" because they remember facts as they relate to people.



ESFJs enjoy providing useful data to those who need it. After being told that someone has lost some piece of information, ESFJs will generally be able to locate it.



ESFJs plan with the needs of others in mind. They are goal oriented and enjoy getting the job done. Their responsiveness, thoroughness, and reliability can be counted on. Even when they lack technical knowledge, this is easily forgiven by others because the ESFJ is so responsive and provides assistance in the depth that others may not offer.



ESFJs prefer that expectations are made clear to them. When the priorities are not straight or are continually changing, ESFJs may feel uncomfortable until there are clear directions as to what they are required to do next.



An ESFJ office manager was particularly proud of the service-oriented, efficient office that she ran. She knew that freeing her boss from daily office matters gave him more time for sales calls. When he prepared to call on potential customers, the ESFJ provided him with background information and copies of previous proposals to similar customers. The telephones were answered promptly and courteously, and all information requests were handled in a personal and thorough fashion. Day-to-day operations such as typing and bookkeeping were delegated to the staff according to a master plan and schedule. Customer billing went out on time, and problems were managed in a firm, yet friendly' fashion. Everything in the office was well organized; however, the office did not appear rigid because of the ESFJ's personable workstyle.



Occupations
To perform well at work, individuals may need to use all of the eight preferences at the appropriate time and when required by the situation. Knowing this, people tend to select occupations that allow them to use the preferences that are most natural to them.



ESFJs prefer occupations that allow them to provide direct and personal, yet practical, help to others. Occupations that call for organization and goal direction appeal to them. They are especially careful not to waste time or resources; to do so would go against their nature.



While ESFJs can and do enter all occupations, some are more appealing to them than others. According to available research, some occupations (in alphabetical order) seem to be especially attractive to ESFJs: childcare worker, dental assistant, elementary school teacher, home economist, nurse, office manager, radiological technologist, receptionist and secretary, religious educator, speech pathologist, and other occupations that allow ESFJs to help others and serve their values directly. These occupations are not meant to be an exhaustive list but serve to illustrate some areas that an ESFJ might enjoy. If your specific occupation or one that you are interested in is not listed here, think instead of its general characteristics and ask yourself how those fit with your type.



ESFJs in LOVE
For the ESFJ , love means warmth and commitment. When ESFJs first fall in love, they show this warmth and concern for their partner in many tangible ways. They will send cards, notes, flowers, special gifts, and other mementos of their affection. If the partner casually mentions a desire for a specific thing, such as a sweater with a sailboat design, the ESFJ will try to find just that thing. Once committed in a relationship, ESFJs tend to stay with it even when there is inconvenience to them, and perhaps longer than may be healthy. They are able to bring out the best in their partners, even though it may mean putting their own needs second.



Because ESFJs are caring individuals, they expect to give and receive in their relationships. Because others may not be as thoughtful as the ESFJ, it is a possible source of disappointment to them if they expect the same awareness and caring on the part of the partner. Being practical and realistic, they may not always like effusive shows of affection and prefer moderation instead. ESFJs may be more loyal to the relationship or to the institution of marriage than to the person. ESFJs may take the end of the relationship as a personal failure.



ESFJs, when scorned, hurt allover and may need to take time to get over the relationship before pursuing a new one. They may too easily and incorrectly blame themselves for the unfavorable outcome and recall instances when perhaps they were not as giving as they might have been. However, ESFJs' standards for giving in a relationship are likely to be above those of some other types. At their worst when scorned, ESFJs can become spiteful and critical of the partner. Because ESFJs are keenly sensitive to others and are tuned in to emotional needs, they really know how to hurt a person in the rare instances when they choose to do so.



SO DO YOU GUYS THINK THIS IS TRUE ABOUT ME? heh. most of the suitable occupations listed there are what i have in mind actually! :D but of cos not home economist la! cant even switch on the gas stove.. :p

Had two class tests and an assignment due last week! busy busy. trying to study the notes and preparing for the tests.. Attended Lishi's 21st too, on a saturday evening.. And we made this really quick decision to go KBOX the next saturday.. i havent sang for like.. eons..!? The sunday after that i went for another KBOX session with the CCP peeps to celebrate Boss' birthday.. He had to put this tall party hat on and hold onto a girly balloon.. and of course, he refused to.. so not sporting can.. Tsktsk!



Still waiting for ppl to upload pics for Lishi's party, KBOX with Heartbreakers and CCP Outing. Since i've not been tagged in any photo in Facebook, i presume they havent uploaded any? SO NO PICS!



The next few weeks will be quite eventful and of course, hectic! CCP is finally gonna succeed! We found a place called Kids United and will be working with the kids there for our programme. Visited the place on thursday and the kids were really rowdy! Difficulty level in communicating with them might even hit 10times more than teaching the LHPS kids.. ohmytian..



Bash and Pageant was yesterday.. wanted to go with OG but since so few ppl were interested, i didnt go in the end.. Spent the night trying out Adobe Photoshop Elements.. trying to design the CCP tee.. i got really frustrated cos i didnt know how to use the programme and could only try here and there.. sighhh. thanks Guohao and especially my superblynice friend Chua Lerxian, for helping me out!! :D :D :D It's more or less done now, except it has to go thru SRC HQ.. waiting for the quotation email as well.. hopefully everything will be okay and ready by the 16th!



Feel the urge to learn Photoshop.. wonder if i should just try it out on my own or go for a workshop? But im really impatient la.. urghh.
