Did a career evaluation test on Ivillage and these are my results:

This description is a generalisation. If it rings true, you've found your career type.

You would be very happy in a career that utilised your level-headedness, and allowed you to work mainly on your own. You want a career that allows you to be creative, without having to be involved with lots of people. Some careers that would be perfect for you are:

  • Artist
  • Historian
  • Banker
  • Novelist
  • University Professor
  • Photographer
  • Vet
  • Paralegal
  • Graphic Designer
  • Online Content Developer
  • Webmaster
  • Producer
  • Managing Director
  • Nutritionist
  • Advertising
  • Nursing

You like working and being alone. You like to avoid attention at all costs. You tend to keep to yourself, and not interact much with the people around you. You enjoy spending time with a few a close friends. You like to listen to others, but don't like sharing much about yourself. You are very quiet and private.
You are very practical, and only act after thinking things through. You don't like being forced to answer quickly. You have to evaluate the situation completely. You make decisions based on what you can verify with your senses.
You like to be deeply involved in one or two special projects. You like to be behind the scenes. You are very logical and fair. You feel you should be honest with others and protect their feelings.
You trust your gut instincts. You are easily inspired and trust that inspiration. You are very innovative. You analyse things by looking at the big picture. You are concerned about how what you do affects others. You worry about your actions and the future. You tend to use a lot of metaphors and are very descriptive and colourful in your choice of language.
You are very creative, and get bored easily if you don't get to express yourself. You like to learn new things. You don't like the same old routine. You like to leave your options open.
Finding a career that is right for you isn't always an easy thing. However, if you secure a job that is suited to your personality type you will enjoy going to work, feel great about yourself, feel appreciated and look forward to what's ahead.

This test was adapted from C. G. Jung's famous personality types.

Hmmm...if the above hits the bull's eye regarding my personality and the career descriptions, why does my ex-employer dismiss me for not being able to become very socially-active within a immensely short period of time?

It's been a long time and I'm still confused, pondering about stuff that I am not sure if it matters.

Quite frankly I am not sure what I want to do with my life. My brain is useless for complicate matters such as these. All these years of education and mind boosting games gone down the drain.

Should I live my life the way everyone else (besides me) wishes? It would be easy, making everyone else happy.

Now I see why most just live the 'normal' life. Its obvious, socially acceptable and all you need to do is just go with the flow. I wanted to do the same. Kind of wasting life away. Then somewhere back in my mind something doesn't agree with the idea of "wasting" anything, thus the idea is put to rest... for now.

Decisions, decisions. Why is life so full of them? Deliberately making things difficult for lazy harry like me.

Now I have to think. Oh boy.

East Coast Fun

Arranged for cycling with Gena yesterday. Its so sad that Liz and Jayvern (Get well soon~) are unable to make it. Its so much fun!

I took Bus 43 from the bus stop opposite my block of flats and it took abt 45-an hour to reach parkway parade. Once again...I hate inconvenient Sengkang.


We rented one of these at $30 for two hours. Erm...not exactly. The one shown above is called a "Quad-Velo". Ours is more of a "Bi-Velo", difference being that our vehicle was missing the two seats at the back.

There are two steering wheels in the front but the only one working is the one sitting on the left of the vehicle (aka the right in the picture. Aka the old man is the one steering). In the first part of the trip, Gena was in charge of steering and the ride is smmmmooooottthhh. Since I am also given a wheel, I was steering too. Just for the heck of it. My hands and legs seem to feel the need to moving in unison, which Gena soon find out in the second part of the ride after we switched seats.

Oh by the way the above picture is clearly not of us. Its stolen from a fun to read parenting website called Parent Times. So please forgive me for stealing the photo, Parent Times? I said you are a fun to read website~ *pleading tone*

Working the Bi Velo was about 3 times more tiring than riding a normal mountain bike, with the weight of the metal structure and all. Going upslope is the most torturous of all. And bikers of all ages, shapes and sizes passed us by and start mocking us. The heat got to Gena's head a few times and she start pedalling hard trying to overtake those that had just overtaken us. Are you kidding? In this monster of a vehicle? Hell no!

The heat got to my head a few times too and I keep having the urge to try to park our Bi-Velo in carparks meant for actual vehicles such as lorries or a sedan. Then again, it might not be the heat. That's probably just me acting up again.

Midway the severely out-of-shape duos decided to take a rest and chitty chat about everything under the sun. I asked Gena about how she got her Christian name and whether it was given by her parents. She answered that she came out with it herself and it originates from....A SBS ANCHORWOMAN?

After a few attempts, we realised that she was talking about an anchorwoman from the former identity of Mediacorp - TCS (Television Corporation of Singapore). Ahh~ The good old times~ So much to talk about, but that would probably be another post saved for another day.

The vehicle travelled at such a crawling speed and it drained so much of our energy away so quickly that we took about half an hour to travel probably a quarter of the east coast park and that already results our knees knocking when we hopped out of the vehicle.

All in all, its fun! I'm totally missing the vehicle already! Someone other than me should be in charge of the steering wheel though. Gena lost 1/4 of her 70plus years long life in that short 45mins (???) while I was steering. Even there's no need to be moving the steering wheel that much, I still like to constantly making circles with the device, therefore making the Bi-Velo did huge sudden turns or travel snake-like in a drunk manner.

Now you understand why I said its fun? I am planning to make Gena lose another 1/4 of her lifespan soon. Anyone interested?

Aint these architecture uh-may-zing?

Perfect examples of the combination of the genius of the architect and the wonder of nature.

Being a free-thinker, I had never been a fan of churches. Just the thought of getting "tied down" to a religion makes me me wanna S.C.R.E.A.M.

However these churches below are different, I DEFINITELY wanna visit them someday.

Especially the Church of Lake Reschen in Italy. Absolutely fascinating. Gotta find a way to witness its glory in the 4 different seasons.

I just love seeing things get destroyed. *smile*
