Personality Test

Stumbled upon a personality test, and did it! Kind of a simple one. Here's the result. Quite accurate though. It has some pictures with some designs for us to choose, and we choose one which we like the most in temrs of the colors and the shape. So here's my result!


You come to grips more frequently and thoroughly with yourself and your environment than do most people. You detest superficiality; you'd rather be alone than have to suffer through small talk. But your relationships with your friends are highly intensive, which gives you the inner tranquility and harmony that you need in order to feel good. You do not mind being alone for extended periods of time; you rarely become bored.

**Funny how some Personality Tests are so accurate, just like this one.

Very often I comes to grip with the circumstances that I go straight to the point, rather than beating around the bush. For example, during meetings, sometimes the questions and answers are painfully obvious, yet, you see ppl arguing and going nowhere with the argument. Or they go back to the same solution which is obvious right from the start.

I really feel funny. Not that I have no opinions or am quiet. In fact, I'm very much opinionated and have a lot to say about a lot of things, but when the answers or solution is clear, why not just say it out, rather than trying to twist and turn?

And yes, I detest superficiality. It's true that everythings comes from our mind, but we must be realistic too, rather than just trying to hide away from the problem. Some will go as far as consoling themselves by saying good things. Well, it's a good way though, becos everything's in our mind. We decide how we want to see it. Whether it's good or bad. But we must be realistic too. Actions speaks louder than words.

I came across this phrase on the Internet - Money is not everything, but at least, it can makes a lot of things easier. I share this phrase with few friends. Their replies?

"It is even better if money DO NOT exist at all." (not the exact reply) (HUH?!)

"Can always get loan from bank la, bro." (doh! what's the difference between banks and ah longs? - answer: one with licence, another without)

I found that the first reply is without any reality. Some people with financial problem will keep on telling themselves - money is not everything - which i think is a good way, but not a very wise move. When the mind is set at "money is not everything", they stop to bother. they stop working harder to earn more. and they continue to get what they are getting, as usual.

My point is here that, we must get grip with reality. I agree too that money is not everything. Money can't buy love. Money can't buy you your parents. Money can't buy you family. But in reality, a lot of things will be made easier if you have more than enough money.

A bit out of topic i guess. Hehe.. just be more realistic.

Why life is like that?

My eldest sister called me in the office today. She asked me to fetch my niece and nephew to my third sister's place in Subang Jaya. So that my 3rd sis can bring them back hometown.

The reason? She wanted to get the maid to go back to hometown, and get a new maid. Of cos she will send her back to Indonesia, or maybe back to the agent. I'm not sure.

It's pretty sad. After all these years, we never have any problems with our maids. All perform reasonably well. Even the last one, who is just around 20++ years old, she'd done really well too. And my bro-in-law is one who is very "cin-cai"..the anything-will-do kind of guy..never complained about the maid..this time, he complained about this one..

how can one mistook cooking oil for dish detergent?? my sis got a shock when she took one of the cup, and found it so oily..then she checked the detergent, and found out that it was filled with cooking oil..so she summoned (summoned eh..hahaha)the maid, and asked her why the detergent is filled with cooking oil..she said..it's yellowish in color right..so she thought it's the dish detergent..a cooking oil with complete label... *scratching my head* and she have to wash all the dishes again..becos quite a lot of them are oily..and..can't you feel the oilyness after you wash it??? *scratches head again*

this is not the only case though..a lot of other things..she was with the previous maid..for few weeks i think..and she has been with us for like few months now..i'm not sure..maybe 1 month ++ or 2 months..she's still as blur as she's in the first day..

when you talk to her..she will go like.. "ok..ok"..then after that..nothing happens..one good example is one day..my sis wanted to go out..so she asked her to wash the milk bottle that my niece and nephew drank..and it's on the table..and I think my sis went out for quite long...more than 2 hours...and when she came back..the milk bottles were still on the table..can u imagine that...

there are few more blur cases...i experience it too...but i just pity her...so I didn't complain much..

now we're sending her back..I hope my sis is sending her back to the agent..at least she got the chance to get another job.....she is probably in her 40's..coming all the way to Malaysia from a poverty stricken place in Indonesia...hoping to earn more money...and now we have to reject her..i'm really sad for her...i really feel for her..she's not my relative...she's not anyone close to me...but I know she's not from a well to do family...that's why she have to leave her country to come here for a better opportunity...it's really heart breaking..

she just brought some clean clothes to my room..telling me..she will be away for quite some time..i feel like crying when she tells me that..becos i know we are sending her back..(to the agent I hope)...why?

you can argue that we should give her more time..and train her..all i can say is that..we've given her enough time..and my sis couldn't afford to have a maid like that becos she's going to be very very busy once the school starts..becos she just opened a child development center..in subang..it going to take up a lot of her time..and she needs a good maid to help her around the house..and to take care of my nieces and nephew..

it's so sad...you won't know it..unless you experience it..no matter how sad I am..i'm sure she will be even more sad..when she found out the truth..

berat mata memandang, berat lagi bahu yang memikul

I'm helpless..i couldn't do anything..becos I can't even look after myself yet..i feel like giving her some money..but I don't even have enough for myself...and if I do give her money..she will feel weird..and the cats might be out!!!

WHY LIFE IS LIKE THAT?

i'm still wondering..I hope i can find a solution to all these..just like how Siddharta Gotama found the solution to all sufferings in the world...

i know it'll be a tough work..but I hope one day..i'll be able to do what I really wanted to do all these while...I know that I may not be able to help all the poor in the world, but I WILL HELP AS MUCH AS I CAN. those that I can't see, or i didn't know about..of cos I can do nothing about it..but those whom I can see..or i know about..I will definitely so something..

this is the promise that I make to myself..one day..when I'm able..I WILL HELP.

why life is like that?

why can't everyone have equal wealth?

why some have to suffer in poverty, while some enjoy wealth?

why some ppl are born handicap?

are all these becos of karma? I really don't know..maybe it is..but whatever it is..deep down inside my heart..I really feel that no one deserve to be like this..i don't know whether what I feel is right or wrong..but it really sadden me..to see people suffer...especially older ppl...

it breaks my heart too...when i see some granny or grandpa..or shall i call them..senior citizen..cycling around town..looking for old card boards..or collecting aluminuim tins just to earn some money..it really sadden me..they are already so old..and they still have to go through this...

i have visited an old folks home twice in Langkap..with my hometown Buddhist Association...it makes you wonder what kind of heart these ppl have to not care about their parents...and just throw them into an old folks home...i will never know..i will never know what kind of heart they have to do that...becos I really can't imagine myself letting my grandma or parents staying in such place..their rooms are unkempt.as they dislike ppl go in and fiddle with their belongings..the place is dark...it's just sad...why? WHY?

and I know I'll never find the answer to...

WHY LIFE IS LIKE THAT?

WAH LAU

WAH LAU EH...

HUH??! <---actual size of this word is actually x9999999

i don't want to comment any further. Just sad that we have such bodoh MP sitting in the parliament discussing national issues.

Tension

7:15pm - still in the office
I'm preparing reports for tomorrow's morning meeting. I have all reports ready, except one, which i'm still waiting for my counterpart to send to me. Hmm..

My MD just left the office, and on the way, he asked if all the reports are ready. **gulp** i said, 'yeah, just a lil bit incomplete.' luckily he said it's ok, just present whatever I have tomorrow. phew...

now I gotta go home and re-read all the reports to make sure I know what to say and what to answer tomorrow. i was so tension this whole day. the workload is just..weighty! is there such word? haha... :P

I turned on Elvis Presley on my PC, and straight away my colleague walk over asking about it. Showed her my collection of oldies, and shared the folder with her. Kakaka...tot i'm the only one in the office into oldies like Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Barry Manilow, Jerry Lewis....the list just go on. Oldies are cool really. Relaxing, with really unique voices. It seems that last time all artistes do really have their own uniqueness, in the way they sing, their voices, their performances. Comparing to now, where all are manufactured. Call me old. But I think it really takes something to appreciate oldies.

Ask the right question!

After the case of the woman doing ear squat in the nude being exposed, people has been posing the question, is doing ear squat in the nude while being detained a legal procedure?

WHAT A STUPID QUESTION IS THAT? Doing ear squatting in the nude is IN FACT a normal procedure in the police station to make sure nothing is hidden in the @$$hole or the puss1e...kakaka...it is absolutely legal, and is being carried out all over the world.

why everyone deviate from the main question? even those sohem MP...

the main question which everyone should ask is ...

IS IT A NORMAL PROCEDURE TO SHOOT VIDEO OF DETAINEES DOING EAR SQUAT IN THE NUDE?

Ask the right question, please.

Addition:

Let's break it up.

The procedures - Normal
The policewoman - Just carrying out the procedure
The detainee - Dai sei. She must have done something wrong
Ppl who forwarded the MMS - well, they are wrong too, cos the MMS is considered pornographic
The camera man - ........(need not say more)


if you notice from here..from the start of the case, ever since the case started, everyone has been talking about the procedures, the policewoman, the detainee, and some even say wanna catch all those who forwarded the MMS. But, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CAMERAMAN?

how come nothing has been said about the cameraman?

if the cameraman didn't shoot that video, will there be any fuss? absolutely not. this procedure (ear squat in nude) is being carried out all the time! and nothing has happened, until this time which it comes with an MMS video.

OCPD: Squats are standard procedure

BY CHELSEA L.Y. NG AND CECIL FUNG

KUALA LUMPUR: It has been a long-held practice for the police to order female detainees to perform ear squats in the nude, a senior police officer told the Commission of Inquiry into the controversy surrounding a video clip featuring a naked woman in the act.

Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Hazam Abdul Halim testified at the commission’s first sitting at the Sultan Abdul Samad building yesterday that as far as he knew, the practice had already been instituted when he joined the force 20 years ago.

Although ear squats were not prescribed in the Inspector-General’s Standing Orders, OCPD Standing Orders nor the Lockup Rules, ACP Mohd Hazam said he understood that it was a nationwide practice that had been effective in uncovering objects hidden in the armpits and private parts.

“The reason for this is security. We want to ensure no illegal objects or weapons are brought into the lockup especially in cases involving drugs, serious offences like murder and also arrests made at entertainment outlets.

“However, I advised my officers not to have any body contact with the detainees and to conduct the strip searches on a one-to-one basis in a room to prevent the detainees from being watched,” he said.

ACP Mohd Hazam said only policewomen were allowed to conduct strip searches on women and insisted that only those detained for drug-related offences, serious offences and also those arrested in entertainment outlets would be subjected to this procedure.

The commission was established after the video clip was made public in Parliament on Nov 24.

The inquiry aims to ascertain the identity of the naked woman in the video clip, scrutinise the body search procedure as seen in the clip and investigate the police’s standard operating procedure, rules and regulations pertaining to the body search of detainees, and to recommend amendments and changes to such procedures.

C/Insp Abdul Aziz Abdul Rahman, the officer in charge of the Petaling Jaya police station where the provocative video was allegedly recorded, told the commission that detainees would be told to remove their clothes for visual inspection before being asked to perform ear squats.

Describing the practice as “a tradition”, he again told the commission that ear squats were performed to “expel any objects suspected to be hidden inside the anus or private parts.”

Asked if all female detainees including those caught for passport offences had to perform ear squats before being put into lockups, C/Insp Abdul Aziz said emphasis was on those caught for drug offences and serious crimes.

For those arrested at entertainment outlets, he said it was “a must” for them to perform ear squats.

C/Insp Abdul Aziz also identified the policewoman in the video clip as L/Kpl Wan Zawati @ Zalina Wan Ismail. However, he could not identify the naked woman in the video clip.

ACP Mohd Hazam said during his testimony that he first found out about the video on Nov 23 when he was shown photocopy images of the clip by a China Press reporter.

He said that the next day, he was shown the actual video clip by C/Insp Abdul Aziz on the latter’s cell phone.

C/Insp Abdul Aziz then told the commission that he found out about the video clip through one L/Kpl Suhaimi Nordin.

“L/Kpl Suhaimi told me that the recording was shown to him by one Kons Mohd Zulfatah at the end of June this year,” he said.

Both ACP Mohd Hazam and C/Insp Abdul Aziz identified the video when it was shown to them and members of the commission during the hearing.

ACP Mohd Hazam said the clip was most likely recorded at the Petaling Jaya police station and the sound of Quran recital heard in the video came from a surau located about 50m away.

Also called to testify yesterday was Kpl Zainol Nur Rashid Mat Arip, the police photographer who took pictures of the Petaling Jaya police station during investigations into the controversial video clip.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Suhaimi Ibrahim led the proceedings with assistance from DPPs Nordin Hassan and Kwan Li Sa.

Lawyer S.N. Nair represented four female Chinese nationals who were listed to testify. The four women, in their 30s, recently lodged police reports stating that they had also been subjected to ear squats and other humiliating acts while under police detention.

The four-member commission comprises former Chief Justice Tun Mohamed Dzaiddin Abdullah as chairman, former human resources minister Tan Sri Lim Ah Lek, former Bar Council chairman Kuthubul Zaman Bukhari and Wanita Umno legal aid bureau chief Datuk Kamilia Ibrahim.

Semenyih Waterfall

My company organised a trip to Semenyih waterfall last month, on 20th November 2005. Initially, there were not much of participation. But, out of a sudden, we have more than 40 staff wanted to go on the trip, and adding up their family members, there were more than 70 ppl on the trip, including kids.

The whole thing turn out to be more successful than we expected. Everyone seems to enjoyed themselves. Will post up some pics here tomorrow. It seems like blogspot is down at the moment, can't seem to upload anything. :(

Employment

I find this quite true, especially statement #5. When you are faced with trouble, or something goes wrong, the best thing the company that you are willing to die for will do for you is ask you to resign.

Few months ago, I bought a car battery and we left the battery at the back of my gf's car. When we reach home, only then we realised that the battery has fell and the acid inside spilled. The whole bottom of the car was drenched with acid water.

We went to few workshops, and all advised us to sell the car. It's not even 1 year old yet. Imagine the amount of loss my gf have to bear. She bought the car MAINLY JUST BECOS OF HER JOB. IF IT IS NOT FOR HER JOB, SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THAT CAR. My manager advise to her?

"Losing money is ok, small matter, can earn back. If need money, can borrow from company first ma." OMG, we're facing a loss of more than RM10k. And losing the car as well. It was so tough.

Luckily we found a workshop which was so confident that they can fix it, and gives us a guarantee that it will last until my gf's finish paying the instalments. That's 9 years. Pretty confident workshop.

Sometimes life is unfair. Employment is the biggest scam in this world, where the company squeeze you dry, and they pay you peanuts, while they take home millions, drives a Merc, go to night clubs, fuck pros.

You know the world has changed...

Weird

I'm no more in denial state. But I just feel weird (plus a little bit of sadness). Eventhough we don't see each other often, (he's in hometown, while I'm in KL, and i hardly go back) I can always feel his presence. How can I not feel his presence? We grew up together, and had a really good childhood. So many things to look back at. Moreover, I miss my younger days. Carefree. Everyday is like Sunday. (At least that's how I feel how it used to be last time when you compare it to now)

If you really look back at your younger days from now, you'll somehow feel that everyday were like Sunday. Funny. I really miss my younger days. I miss my hometown. Can I turn back time, and go back to kindy? or primary school or secondary school days? [the Creator says,"Yeah, dream on."]

Pls visit andyteh.blogspot.com

It's a blog that I've created In Loving Memory of Andy. His little sister will be updating the blog with his pictures as well as testimonials or tributes from Andy's friends. He will always be part of our memories.

I think I've shown some improvements on my attitude towards working. But I still find it to be a hindrance to me.

CO told me that few people spoke to him about me. They said that I'm full of great ideas, but nothing ever seems to realise. I said yeah, I knew that too. I've been bouncing a lot of ideas around. They are all great ideas. But why can't I get them moving?

If i said it, you will definitely reject it. Saying that i should change my point of view. But I really felt that work is a hindrance to me in moving my ideas. My whole bloody day will be occupied at the office. Sometimes I even have to work on the weekend. Or can you just imagine customer calling you on a Sunday morning, 9 am, and you are still in your fucking dreamland? <-- this is real story! it happened to me! for Sleeping sake! it's a Sunday! Hellooooo....

I thought of quitting my job before and concentrate fully on things that I want to do. There are quite a number of them. Training. Family business. Tee. Hmm... Even if I want to quit my job, I have to wait till i get my bonus first. Hehehehe...

Quitting job. Kinda risky though. Sometimes job can be a good thing. You have steady income coming in. You have EPF. Socso. Haha..doh..whatever.

Recently, in one of our meeting, I heard something that I didn't know. During the 1997 economy downturn, our company hit rock bottom too! And becos of that, a lot of department were being shut down to cut cost. Hmm..I was wondering how come this company does not have a HR and Training dept. Now I know, it was being closed down during the downturn. Pity those guys who got retrenched.

Anyway, I got to go now. Evon's dad birthday today...

Ciao~!

Still in denial state.

It still have not really sink in me that Andy is gone.

Unconsciously, my mind keep on playing back all the times we've been through together in our childhood.

I can still feel him. I can still hear his voice. His laughter.

How could this thing happen to him?

Is it fate? Perhaps.

Why?

He's one of my closest friend. One of the friend I treasure the most.

He played a starring role in my childhood. He's such a nice friend.

Eventhough I perform far much better in my studies, but he has always been a very nice friend.

We're in the same class during the whole primary school. And in different class during secondary school. But that doesn't hinder our friendship. Becos he's my childhood friend. Someone who already have a very special place in my heart.

Polite. That's what my mom and my sis says. And also thin and tall.

Even my mom adore him.

It will always be in my mind, all the good times we've been through. How I hope we've recorded all the games we've played, and all the things we've done together when we were young.
