Down

Posted in Cwappe, Emo-ing, Random, Updates, reminiscence on August 27, 2009 by Poh Ching

As per the title. And I shall for now conveniently “forget” about it and do silly quizzes. Why? Because I want to. Keep my mind off the bad thing. ON hindsight, at least I made space just in case something like this happened. No it’s nothing about people, its just something that I dowana talk about just yet.

So there. Random quizzes again. These are rather accurate. (IMHO). I sat “rather” because there are a line or two here and there which are off the mark – but the line is too laggy for me to comment much. Anyway, here goes!


Your Heart Craves Love


You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you’re told that you’re loved.

You’d like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything… no secrets.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You’ll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You’ll do anything for love, but you won’t fall for it easily.

_______________________________________

You Are Trusting In Love


You fall in love quickly and easily. And very often.

You tend to give more than take in relationships.

You tend to get very attached when you’re with someone. You want to see your love all the time.

You love your partner unconditionally and don’t try to make them change.

You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren’t loved back. When you fall, you fall hard.

____________________________________________


It’s Rather Easy For You to Fall in Love


Looking back on your life, you will have a few true loves.

Although you may have been hurt before, you tend to bring very little scars into new relationships.

You expect a lot from your lover – you want the full package. You tend to be very picky.

In fights, you love to debate and defend yourself. You logic prevails – or at least you’d like to think so.

A break-up usually comes as a shock to you. You always think things are going well.

______________________________________


Your Five Variable Love Profile


Propensity for Monogamy:

Your propensity for monogamy is high.

You find it easy to be devoted and loyal to one person.

And in return, you expect the same from who you love.

Any sign of straying, and you’ll end things.

Experience Level:

Your experience level is high.

You’ve loved, lost, and loved again.

You have had a wide range of love experiences.

And when the real thing comes along, you know it!

Dominance:

Your dominance is low.

This doesn’t mean you’re a doormat, just balanced.

You know a relationship is not about getting your way.

And you love to give your sweetie a lot of freedom.

Cynicism:

Your cynicism is medium.

You’d like to believe in true and everlasting love…

But you’ve definitely been burned enough to know better.

You’re still an optimist, but you also are a realist.

Independence:

Your independence is low.

This doesn’t mean you’re dependent in relationships.

It does mean that you don’t have any problem sharing your life.

In your opinion, the best part of being in love is being together.

______________________________________


Your Love Style is Pragma


You believe love is logical – or at least it should be

You’ve thought a lot about what you want from someone

And to say you have a checklist would be an understatement

You may even have a plan for how you will fall in love

All you’ve got to do is meet the perfect person!

_____________________________________


Your Ex is Narcissistic


Your ex thinks they’re the most important person in the world and couldn’t care less about anyone else.

Your ex definitely has a god complex.

People with narcissistic personality disorder want total power, lack empathy, and are very arrogant.

Sound at all familiar?

_________________________________


You Fight Fair


For you, a fight is not about proving you’re right.

Instead, it’s about discussing and resolving difficult issues.

You don’t look for fights, but you don’t avoid them either.

You realize that clearing the air is good, when you go about it the right way.

______________________________


You Are Pretty Happy Being Single


You have a full, fun life. And you definitely don’t need love to be content.

Of course, being single can get you down a little. Especially when you’ve been single for a while.

But you know how to be patient and wait for the right person. You’re life is too good to settle for anything!

_______________________________________


Men See You As Understated


You are an intriguing mix of girl and woman.

You’re feminine, quiet, and a total mystery to most men.

Yet they often feel the urge to protect you, even if they don’t know you.

You *are* a flirt, but you usually only flirt with those you know well

__________________________________


You are a Great Girlfriend


When it comes to your guy, you’re very thoughtful

But you also haven’t stopped thinking of yourself

You’re the perfect blend of independent and caring

You’re a total catch – make sure your guy knows it too!

________________________________


You Are A Professional Girlfriend!


You are the perfect girlfriend – big surprise!

Heaven knows you’ve had enough practice. That’s why you’re a total pro.

If there was an Emily Post of girlfriends, it would be you.

You know how to act in every situation … to make both you and your guy happy.

_____________________________________


You Are a Good Student of Men


You’re pretty good at knowing what men are thinking

But you’re not dead on 100% of the time

Let your guy off the hook sometimes… because you may be reading him all wrong!

______________________________________


You are Totally Realistic


“Romance” means you’re about to roll your eyes

Seriously, you can do without the sap or drama

Save it for someone who has nothing really going on in their relationship

For you, love is real – and easily integrated into your life

You don’t need candles, flowers, or chocolates to know he’s the one

Just some stimulating conversation… and maybe a great smile.

______________________________________


Your Love is Based on Commitment


You believe that love is something that develops and grows.

You don’t believe in love at first site, and you never mistake lust for love.

For you, love is about mutual devotion, respect, and understanding.

You don’t feel comfortable in a relationship, unless you’re both in it for the long run.

Why your love can last: You don’t take commitment lightly – or leave relationships easily

Why your love can fail: You’re so committed, you often can’t see the most obvious problems in your relationship

____________________________________


You Are Picky When it Counts


Like most sane women, you want a great guy who will treat you well.

But you’re also willing to put up with a few flaws in your Mr. Right

You should congratulate yourself on having a realistic approach to dating.

You probably have quite a few great guys you can date!

______________________________________


Maybe You Would Pick Your Sweetheart Again… But Maybe Not!


It’s a tough call. Your relationship definitely isn’t what it used to be.

Things between you and your sweetheart are okay, but somehow, it’s not how you would imagined it would be.

Try to talk to your partner about your relationship. Communicate what you need.

Things aren’t perfect, but you may want to work on the relationship while it still has a chance.

_______________________________________


You Have Very Healthy Relationships


You are an amazing friend, partner, and family member.

You always take other people’s feelings into account, and you’re never selfish.

Your relationships are based on mutual respect.

You respect the people you love, and you only love people who respect you in return.

___________________________________


You Are Buttermilk Pancakes


Your prefer traditional, old fashioned foods.

You shy away from anything fake, and you like meals with simple ingredients.

It’s not likely someone would find margarine or diet soda in your kitchen.

Instead, someone might find a loaf of homemade bread baking or a soup simmering.

Just thinking

Posted in Random, reminiscence with tags , on August 24, 2009 by Poh Ching

Was browsing at random thru Facebook, youtube, and forums when I saw this video – White Horse by Taylor Swift. I think the video is very appropriate for the song :) One thing about Taylor Swift’s videos are that the videos capture the “feel” of the song’s lyrics – similar to Chinese/Korean/Mandarin/you-get-the-drift videos.

When I saw this video it brought back lots of memories :) Memories of what? You know I know :P HAHAHA. Anyways, enjoy :) )

Getting poked.

Posted in Random, Updates with tags on August 22, 2009 by Poh Ching

Dear Bloggie,

I just took my 1st blood test on Thursday, to check for H1N1 and denggi (the latter on the specialist’s recommendation). Do I have mosquito bites huh??? Well maybe she saw the uncountable scars on my legs and decided not to take the risk. I actually went to TWO doctors today – one a GP (General Practioner) – those small clinics – and the other at Damansara Specialist Hospital (DSH). Well we’re so lucky to be living right NEXT to the hospital, I could even walk there lol. The GP didn’t have the medicine on hand at the moment so he referred us (Me – my Dad the walking and talking and driving Wallet lol) to DSH to get the medicines. There, the female doctor (she looks like someone’s Mom) there did the cursory check-up (again) but this time, she also ordered a swab and blood test on me. Between the swab test and the blood test, the swab was worst. Believe me – because my nose is clear of “gold” nor was I having any flu (I had only 2 symptoms of H1N1 – sore htroat and fever) so it was quite hard on my poor nose. Imagine that.

The blood test was relatively painless – I only felt the slight sting of an angry mosquito as the tip of the needle went in. After the initial poke, although the needle moved deeper (Well because the nurse couldn’t extract more blood from me HAHA) it didn’t hurt at all. Take note of that BCG nurses! Lol. Even my rubella jab was painless. Or maybe it’s just me. Some people look away white being poked. Some clench their jaws. I watch in interest. Oohh – my blood is dark red – maybe one day I’ll do an Angelina Jolie – wear my husband’s blood as a pendant around my neck.

Anyways, the lozenges Dad gave me helped a lot. It’s a sort of analgesic to numb the throat and has anti-bacterial properties at the same time. At last I could sleep without hacking like an old crone. However – one side-effect is that food also becomes rather bland due to my numb tongue. Ah well. Better than coughing a marathon 24 hours a day.

Mum keeps asking me questions like “How do you feel now? What did you tell the doctor? What did the doctor say?” etc etc. I understand that she’s concerned – but I really, really prefer not to talk. Even if I do, I have to squeak in a whisper so as not to irritate my throat. When I really need to communicate, I write on a piece of paper. And by the way, I gotta pee. I’ve been drinking lots of water/herb/tea to soothe my throat – hence the frequent run to the loo.

Back from the loo. Guess how much was the medic costs???? Well, consultation was fairly cheap at rm25 (My Dad said that referrals tend to be cheaper, the GP charged rm30), but the blood test was a whopping rm160, plus other fees totalled up to rm270++. Plus medication costs another rm70++. The fees quite painful lor hor. Told you already dear parents, that I was fine. Tak caya sudah. LOL. Okok I’m being ungrateful, in light of the H1N1 flying around precaution is the word, I know I know.

Anyways, since my fever has gone down, and my appetite increases (dunno why?) after I’ve taken my medicine, lemme just diagnose myself and say “Girl, you are just fine. Just stop hacking like an old hag.” It’s not funny okay. Coughing hurts my abs:/ Or I could be all perky and say “Well coughing works out my abs hahahaha”. Anyways… Today is a Saturday. I wonder if I’ll stop coughing by tomorrow. I’d like to attend my Muay Thai class. Because no life girl like me got pretty much nothing to exert my energy on except for a paid for martial arts class ONCE every weekend. And no, I’ve not been working out at home because I was busy working out my abs (read: Coughing). But I’m much better today. I can string out a whole sentence without coughing. Yesterday I could only whisper singular words, preferably in singular nouns too.

By the way, yesterday I was “building” new spawning tank for my bettas ie my pet betta splendens a.k.a Siamese Fighting Fish. I packed the tank with lots of plants until it was like a real labyrinth (to the fishes… Hahahaha). First, I let in one of my pretty white female Half Moons (HM) inside. She loved it at first slide. Plenty of camouflage, and she was gliding cool as you please here and there, up and down. None of the “Where the hell am I???” panicked swimming. At night she rests atop one of the leaves so that it’s like a hammock for her, plus the position places her near the surface of the water (Bettas breathe air from the surface, not from underwater :) )

Next, I let in a male HM – a navy blue male who has been sharing her container. He panicked. He darted here and there, tried to swim up to the surface but couldn’t because he’s too fat to squeeze thru the plants – Nah, just kidding – more like his “gown” ie long fins were difficult to pull up thru layers of plants to get to the surface. He tried a few times but still couldn’t take a breath. Then he laid down at the bottom and I saw him open and close his mouth as though he was panting. Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve not seen any Betta “pant” underwater – because they can’t? They need to take their breathes from the air, not underwater. I got worried and pulled away the plants to make way for the male to go up easily. When I did so he swam up to take his 1st breath in the new tank. Then I slowly let go of the plants. The male took a slow swim of his new surroundings, navigating thru the less dense areas. The female approached him docilely, her head low and her tail end higher – submissive to the male (I had conditioned them by placing them in a container with transparent plastic to separate them – they had been doing the “courtship fight” without anyone getting hurt.). The male ignored her and continued exploring. Female followed by his side.

Then the male needed to take another breath. How do I know? Bettas will glance up at the surface very quickly once before actually swimming up to breathe. I know because I’m a “fish watcher”. :P Do you have a problem with that huh??? I love staring at the personal lives of fishes, you got a problem with that huh huh huh????? :P Anyway, again the male had difficulty swimming up to the surface, and that’s when I fished him out and placed him in his own container. He’s a egg and fry eater anyways :P

I feel like buying white male HMs. I’ve got my females but my current males are unsuitable :( One male practically dwarfs other Bettas (but he’s not a giant though, maybe still growing? :) ) ) and the other gets beaten up by girls. Sissy you! Be a Man! Do the right thing! (From Russell Peters hahahaha). And the other male – a gorgeous salamander RED coloured fish is NOT one that I’m going to spawn – well because he’s RED in colour. LOL. Anyone wana buy him? I’ll give you a very nice price :) )))))

Let me go on about my fishes! XD Now I’ve placed two white female HMs in the same container, just divided by a transparent sheet of plastic. All they do is flare and try to nip each other. Female HMs are gorgeous. They have wider and longer tails and fins than the average Betta. I almost can’t differentiate my female HMs (I have several from two breeders), but if I look real close, some have letter “Y”s at their tails, and some don’t. Those that don’t are from Teh88 in Sabah (or Sarawak? Oooo I’ve forgotten!! paiseh…), and those with are from a Shah Alam breeder.

OKla, this is all for today. By the way…… THE DAY is soon. And I and every other University of London External Programme student know this. We know WHEN OUR RESULTS WILL BE OUT. OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD START PRAYING. I’M PRAYING. PRAY AND PRAY. I SWEAR I WILL BE A GOOD STUDENT NEXT YEAR IF YOU LET ME PASSSSSSSSSS PRRETTYYYY PLEASSEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ignorance

Posted in Random, reminiscence on August 17, 2009 by Poh Ching

Heh. Another personal favourite of mine by Paramore. (After Crushcrushcrush, that is :P ) This is Ignorance – to which I totally agree with (After being knocked into my head by well-meaning people more than a couple of times *ouch!* lol)

Here goes the lyrics, the video is below. Enjoy! ^^

Ignorance by Paramore

If I’m a bad person, you don’t like me
Well, I guess I’ll make my own way
It’s a circle, a mean cycle
I can’t excite you anymore
Where’s your gavel? Your jury?
What’s my offense this time?
You’re not a judge but if you’re gonna judge me
Well sentence me to another life.

Don’t wanna hear your sad songs
I don’t wanna feel your pain
When you swear it’s all my fault
Cause you know we’re not the same
No, we’re not the same
No, well, we’re not the same
We’re the friends who stuck together,
We wrote our names in blood,
But I guess you can’t accept that the change is good
It’s good, it’s good

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it’s nice to meet you, sir
I guess I’ll go,
I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it’s nice to meet you, sir
I guess I’ll go,
I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend,
Ignorance is your new best friend

This is the best thing that could’ve happened;
Any longer and I wouldn’t have made it

It’s not a war, no, it’s not a rapture
I’m just a person, but you can’t take it

The same tricks that, that once fooled me
They won’t get you anywhere
I’m not the same kid from your memory
Well, now I can fend for myself

Don’t wanna hear your sad songs
I don’t wanna feel your pain
When you swear it’s all my fault
Cause you know we’re not the same
No, we’re not the same
No, well, we’re not the same
Yeah, we used to stick together,
We wrote our names in blood,
But I guess you can’t accept that the change is good
It’s good, it’s good

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it’s nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I’ll go,
I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it’s nice to meet you, sir
Well,I guess I’ll go,
I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend,
Ignorance is your new best friend.
Ignorance is your new best friend,
Ignorance is your new best friend.

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it’s nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I’ll go
I best be on my way out

Ypu treat me just like another stranger,
Well, it’s nice to meet you, sir
I guess I’ll go,
I best be on my way out

More on Poh Ching!

Posted in Cwappe, Random, reminiscence with tags on August 16, 2009 by Poh Ching

Boy don’t I just LOVE the sound of my own name. Whenever anyone says my name correctly I get a thrill out of it :P Of course, any nicknames will suffice just as well: Ching, Poh Chin’, Poh Poh, PC, whatever. If you’re a cute little brown dog called Aeris, whining and barking will do as fine. :P

Oh, speaking of Aeris, she was a bad little girl tonight :/ She attacked the poor Bullmastiff because she thought the food was hers :/ Immediately, I chastised and smacked her on the head. No biting a poor vulnerable Bullmastiff! Poor Leo was afraid of eating from his own food bowl, I had to call him and assure him it was OK. :/ If you didn’t know, Aeris is a small little dog about 10kgs in weight, while Leo is about 60kgs. And the Bully gets bullied – literally. He doesn’t bite, doesn’t growl, doesn’t bark (except in hunger – never at other dogs or humans *sweat* ). He’s too gentle for his own good. If he would only bark ONCE, I’m pretty sure Aeris would at least jump once. When Leo was younger (about 5 years ago), he would bark at the neighbour’s dogs when they ignored him (You know, the cute, affectionate, come-be-friends-with-me bark) – possibly out of fear of his huge size – the other dogs would cringe in fear and back away….

Anyways, after I disciplined the bad little girl, she behaved herself. And on to more about Poh Ching. :P When I’m bored I do quizzes.

The Squirrel

You speak without even thinking. “You are definitely not my type!” will probably be the nicest thing you might say. If they catch you at the wrong time, your reply could be much worse. (This is so true! :( ( )

__________________________________________

How well do you react?

You recover quickly from disappointment. But when you feel that things are going wrong, you will react immediately.

__________________________________________

How deep is your love?

Depth: 93%

He is sitting in your heart and you won’t let anyone else in. Don’t let smoke gets in your eyes. It is safer to look around and learn about other guys. Life is yours and you deserve the best. Who knows, you may even appreciate him more if you compare him with others.
______________________________________

In search of a soulmate

No one can take better care of you than yourself. Seeing the weakness of others will only make you feel stronger. So your ideal choice is that young trainee. He’ll appreciate your protection, and you’ll appreciate his appreciation.
__________________________________

What Type of Woman Does He Like?

He’s the typical guy that you normally would see in today’s society, nothing too spectacular. In fact, you really have to concentrate in picking him out among the crowd. He’s also easy going, has a sophisticated taste. He isn’t boring or anything like that. Just that he would tend to be a little humble, has his own independent views, but keeps it to himself. If the situation requires, he can step forward and really make an impression on others.
(True lor. *sigh* )

The woman of his dream must not be the helpless lady type or too conservative, but must be a fighter with high perseverance. Women who are the fragile type or too ladylike are definitely not to his taste. She must be committed to overcome any obstacle in building up a family with him. Those from a rich family is definitely out. He prefers women whose fortune are self-made. This type of guy isn’t selfish at all, but a real social contributor one can say. Don’t worry, his requirements aren’t really that high, you may pass the test you know.

__________________________________

Your Favorite Ice Cream Flavor

Coffee

You have confidence in your ability to get things done. You are a leader among friends, and a good one too. You are responsible and like to challenge yourself by taking up difficult tasks–and you usually succeed.

(I didn’t know that!)
________________________________________

What is your most favorite pet?

DOG

The most favorite pet of all time is definitely the dog. Having a pet dog suggests that you are a friendly person who likes talking to people. You are outspoken and don’t have any secrets or bias opinions. People like to be around you because you are sincere and loving. You don’t like to say anything to hurt other people’s feelings. (Now this IS true :) )

__________________________________

What’s on your mind?

You think money and love are equally important. You have an interest in many things in life, and work hard to ensure that you maintain a healthy balance between work, play and love. However, you tend to be unable to decide on what you really want to do with your life. You wouldn’t dream of leaving your loved one for one or two million dollars, but you would have to reconsider if the offer rose to 100 million dollars. (But I’m not that money-minded lar… zzz)

___________________________________

The favorite place in your home

You are imaginative and colorful. You attract people just by the way you talk. This can make some people feel jealous. (But I don’t remember making anyone jealous :/)

___________________________________

How well do you get along with others?

You can make friends with anyone and are always interested in what people have to say, but you can also spend time alone quite happily and without getting bored. You don’t overreact to things around you, and people consider you to be a bit of a cool cucumber. (This is so true too! ^^)

__________________________________

How do you react to compliments?

If you are gracious and simply say thank you when you receive a compliment, it shows that you are confident and self-assured. You respect the privacy of others, and don’t like to poke your nose into anyone’s business. You are sure of what your values are, and are proud of what you believe.

___________________________________

Swimsuits reflect your personality

You are generous person and are open to new ideas. (True.)
You enjoy tasks that challenge you, while others may see your acceptance of such tasks as a risky and even brave thing to do (Well it’s fun what, learn new experience… If so kiasu kiasi then makes life so boring :) ).
You don’t hold any secrets and speak your mind directly. (That’s me! )
You have a rather naughty approach towards the opposite sex, and your tendency to flirt can sometimes get you into trouble. (I do NOT flirt zzzz… Maybe I should  :P )
__________________________________

The Clothes You Wear

What others see from your style

You tend to be a gentle and pleasant person. You love nature and at least some of the arts, and derive great satisfaction from being helpful. You are stubborn and are not interested in wealth and power. (True lor. :) ) )

What your nightclothes reveal

You are friendly and always in good mood. You are candid and helpful, and can be sexy at times too. (Oohhh apparently I’m sexy at times – well quite true I guess – once in awhile I like to dress in sexy outfits HAHAHA XD )

What others see from your ties

You enjoy being alone. You like to life the simple but good life, and you cherish your freedom. You are thoughtful, confident and uninterested in glamour. (Benar, saya tidak perlu menjadi famous untuk bergembira! - er, correct vocab in my BM or not? )

What others see from your belts

You are a lonely and demanding person. (Am I? Hmm…)

You are hardworking as well as intelligent, and can be passionate when in love. (I’m definitely NOT hardworking lol… I’m lazy… hahaha)

What others see from your shoes

You like to be the center of attention. You like to look good at all times and probably never leave the house without makeup on. Although you may be intelligent, you’re also insecure about your looks. You care about others, and will always listen to what they have to say. (I rarely wear make-up. And I’m never insecure about my looks. I’m too lazy to bother most times hahaha. But I do care for what others have to say…)

What others see from your earrings

You are a sweet and talkative person. You are sociable, energetic and interesting, and get easily bored by the same old things. You are always looking for adventure. (Benar! Tapi dunno about the sociable and interesting. HAHA.)

The last analysis

You are probably a clever and adventurous person. You love to learn new things, and enjoy socializing with friends. Although you enjoy your freedom, you cherish peacefulness and like to spend time alone with your thoughts. (Must be balanced, no?)

___________________________________________

_________________________________

  6. When you love someone, you tend to stay in love for a long time. (Yeah. T____________________________T)

_____________________________________

Your Sixth Sense

Your Sixth Sense Score: 70% (I’m too realistic and practical, maybe?)

You are reasonable and won’t get blown by temptations. However, you might miss some great opportunities.
___________________________________

A Magic Present

You enjoy many activities. You also like traveling. You don’t want to give your money to others, preferring to spend just for yourself. You never think of lavishing your money on unnecessary stuff.
(The parts in bold is super true! HAHAHAH)
_______________________________

What Would You Do?

Do you have a chance with the one you love?

You have no confidence. You try to take chances but always miss them since you are too scared to really jump in and try.

In any case, if you don’t make any efforts to meet people, no relationship is going to get started.


(True lor  T___________________________________T)

________________________________________

The Eating Test

You’ve made your way well in this world despite all the obstacles you’ve had to faced. You have survived a lot more troubles than most people. You have had to deal with difficult people, ridiculous rules, and tempestuous relationships.Love for you can be as intense as the fire on the face of the sun. You are either very calm on the inside when there is a lot of insanity going on around you, or you shut people up and take charge. You can go to a movie by yourself. You are as comfortable alone as you are with others. You are angry at your parents but you can’t change them.

You are a great lover when you find that rare mate who is your equal, otherwise your relationships do not go well. Life is a roller coaster, and you are finding ways to make the good times better. You love sports.

(This is so accurate, I don’t have to add anything to it.)

Next, lemme analyze my mistakes with said Cancer person:

Are You Interested in a Cancer Person?

(Note: Just because I’m about to go to bed, I’ve edited out the parts that I think aren’t relevant. Click on the link given for the full analysis.)

If a Cancer is interested in you, they will drop subtle clues.

Since they have a tendency to be old-fashioned in their beliefs, the perfect date would be tickets to the theater, a romantic restaurant, or a cultural event.

As they tend to be romantic day dreamers and reflect in the past, bring up some old stories so that they can relate some of theirs.

Show an interest to this sentimentality when they bring out their collections or old pictures.

They thrive on admiration and praise.

Let them know how much you admire them.

Compliments will get you everywhere.

Ask their opinion, and be sure to be sincere about hearing their response.

The Cancer has an excellent memory and a jealous nature.

Because they can recall situations in their past very easily, it would be a tremendous mistake to ever be insincere to this person.

To them betrayal is devastating, and it will take a very long time for them to forgive, and to top it off, they may never forget.

Once emotionally wounded, there will always be a void in the relationship. Emotional and financial security is of the utmost importance in this relationship.

They don’t like frivolous spending, since it means a loss of control and security.

If you can give an enormous amount of attention and constant reassurance, you have found the perfect mate.

In return you will find Cancer to be affectionate, romantic, sympathetic, imaginative, and quite seductive.

Although they tend to want your complete devotion, if they are in love they will always protect their partner.

______________________________________

How To Date a Cancer Male (See Note above)

Of course, he will take you out to eat, at least on your first date.

He is pretty thrifty, so be sure you have a little stash of tip money in your purse.

Of course, if you want to pay for your own, that would be fine.

Just be yourself around him.

Looks aren’t that important to Cancer males, but do know some fabulous recipes. (Looks aren’t important meh? :/)

Display an interest in his hobbies.

Your Cancer man will be dating just you, and possibly his ex-wife. (Er ex? I think no lor.)

He is extremely stable, and loves to eat.

If you think you need to diet, he won’t. (Oh really? When I was a little chubby he hinted at me to diet abit. lol)

He loves chesty women. (Well I’m not, so this is wrong? Ahahaha…)

He will remember all the holidays and treat you well.

Tell him all your funny stories, he likes to laugh.

It’s okay to say you are pro-marriage and to openly discuss it.

He’s there for you.

He knows how to treat women. After all, his best friend is his mother. When you marry a Cancer man, you get them both. (Yep, Mummy’s boy indeed :) )

And that’s all for today.

Ill but pretending I’m Not

Posted in Random, reminiscence with tags , on August 15, 2009 by Poh Ching

As per the title, I’m having sore throat, thanks to my oh-so-smart brother who told me to try this new “candy” that my dad bought. The “candy” turns out to be some sort of sugar used for cooking sweet drinks – and that’s how I got my sore throat.  I’ve got fever as well – altho it has come down since last night. Will I be able to go for kickboxing tomorrow? People will probably look at me and think that I’ve got H1N1. Choi!

Anyways, the purpose of a blog is to talk all about myself. So let me indulge right now:


You Are Thick-Skinned


People may not always love you, but that’s totally fine.

You’re happy with who you are, and you don’t really crave outside approval.

You love yourself, and that’s the most important thing. You have high self esteem.

And because you don’t care what other people think, they tend to like you a lot! (All the above is true, but I’m not too sure about the last bit of this sentence :/)


You Are Imaginative


You are a creative, innovative person. You’re not afraid of great risks.

Right now, you are seeking a new challenge and a complete life change.

You are drawn to people who are passionate and deep.

You feel like there is nothing in your life that needs to be changed.

You make a lot of course corrections in your life. Your first reaction is usually not your final verdict. (This is especially true :P )


You Are Carefree in Life


You are the life of the party. You also are completely uninhibited and honest. (Don’t know about the former, but the latter is true :) )

You are happiest when you are inspired and creative. You like to live in the moment.

You are sensitive and considerate. You are always putting other people’s needs before your own.

You are adventurous and constantly seeking. You feel like you still have a lot to learn about yourself.


Your Independence Level: Very High


You do things your own way. Even if everyone else thinks you’re wrong. (Yeah! Lol!)
You cherish your freedom, and you resent rules. (I’m a rebel :P , but I don’t do anything that’s detrimental to myself.)

No one knows what’s right for you as much as you do. (Really? Well depends on the situation.. :/)

You can take care of yourself… and you do a mighty fine job of it. (Yealo! *bangga* I’m Miss Independant and proud of it! ^^)


You Are a Friendly Ex


While the guys you’ve dated haven’t been perfect, you’ve kept most as friends.

In fact, one or two of your exes may be your best friends – after all, they know you best.

And though your mature attitude is awesome, make sure nothing gets too weird.

Or else you could lose these friendships, simply because your exes’ new women think you’re *too* friendly. (Nah I know where to draw the line zzz)


You are Almost Ready to Date Again


You’re over him… well, mostly.

Truth be told, you still think of your ex on occasion.

Enough to effect any new relationship you may start.

Give yourself time and space – you are 90% there.

And don’t swear off men, just make sure to play the field. (LOL. I didn’t swear off men – I’m looking forward to new guys who are better. Plus, the experience from my past will help me do better next time. :) )


Your Love Type: ISFP


The Artist

In love, you feel deeply and experience intense emotions.

For you, sex is serious. It’s how you best express your feelings. (It’s a no-no – marriage first lol)

Overall, you are laid back, warm, and a good listener.

However, you tend to seem lazy and disinterested sometimes. (Opps, I admit I’m like that sometimes… :( )

Best matches: ESFJ and ENFJ


Your Dating Purity Score: 92%


You are an innocent dater.

You’re either lacking in dating experience or only have had long term relationships.

Either way, there’s still plenty of fish in the sea out there for you to sample!


Tulips Say You’re Very Positive


You are very popular and universally admired. (Really?? )
You are often hopelessly in love, and you connect to other people easily. (Well make that “used to be”. :P )

You are a naturally cheerful and upbeat person. You have an amazing smile.

You have a fresh perspective on things. You have a different way of looking at the world.


You Probably Look Younger Than Your Age


You live a healthy lifestyle and know how to take care of yourself.

You’ll probably have a youthful glow for many years.


Your PMS Disaster Level: Low


You have a little PMS every now and then, but it’s not bad at all.

No one probably notices except you. (Really? :P )


Your Kissing Purity Score: 74% Pure


For you, kissing isn’t a casual thing

Lip to lip action makes your heart sing (*sigh*)


You Are 88% Good


You are not only a good person… you are a model citizen and a natural leader. (Natural Leader? lol we’ll see about that.)
Whether you know it or not, your high moral standards and good judgment is truly rare. (Yes I know so *perasan* )

You don’t take ethical short cuts in life. You are able to do what’s right – even when it’s very difficult.

And while it may seem like no one else is as on track as you are, take heart in knowing that you set a good example for others.

You are also probably: Very sensitive and in tune with the world

Right now you are on track to being: A saint

To be a better person: Gently mentor someone who is taking the wrong path in life


You Are a Very Good Girl


You are 100% Good and 0% Bad

You’re a perfect angel – almost impossibly so

Don’t you ever feel like being a little bad?!? (Er no.. That’s mean lol.. Nothing good comes out of being bad.)

Hahaha. That’s all for today. Thanks for reading XD

Signs of a Healthy Relationship

Posted in Emo-ing, Random, Updates, reminiscence with tags , , , , , on August 14, 2009 by Poh Ching

I found this from this blog – the particular post which I found reasonable and useful I’ve copied it here on my blog. I’ll comment as and when appropriate for me to do so. :)

Signs of a good healthy relationship

  1. You can’t help but smile when you see her/him and s/he is always smiling back. (Right ON! I learnt that being shy ie: trying not to smile/suppressing my smile is BAD! Always show it, or he’ll think that I’m not happy to see him. I heard that laughter is contagious – I suppose smiling is just as delicious too!)
  2. You feel comfortable and secure in the relationship and really trust your partner not to hurt you; ie, there is no need for jealousy or suspicion. (Right on!!!!!!!!!)
  3. There have been good times and bad times and through, or in spite of, them all you have remained together. (Aw – I thought we passed the bad times – but apparently not. Ouch for me, and secret fantasies of “Things I’ll Never Say” (An Avril Lavigne song title :P )
  4. There are no major dramas in the relationship; ie, you do not test one anothers love, engage in relationship foiling gossip or feel the need to play games. (Oh, I remember him faking a message from “another girl” – which made me jealous as anything – the purpose being to provoke me into being more affectionate and less of a cold fish. LOL. Well, it worked :P )
  5. You each do kind and thoughtful things for the other “just because” and doing them makes both people feel good. (Hmm, I know I lack in this department very sorely :( . Ah well. Lesson learnt. )
  6. Outside pressures are few and far between; there are none or only minor issues with peers, friends, family and teachers. (Hrm don’t think this applied…)
  7. There is no violence in the relationship at all — NONE! (Zzzz. Of course not. We’re lovers not gladiators, sheesh.)
  8. You enhance one another, neither one of you presses the other to do things that may lead to harm or that the other is opposed to doing. (Hrm hrm… Did I push him into anything he disliked doing? [Fill in blanks if there's any....] Did he do it to me? Hrm hrm. It’s a tough learning curve.)
  9. The things that make you different do not push you apart; ie, different religions, cultural backgrounds or personal beliefs. (Yeah, every person is unique, so this has to be overcome by compromise, not tolerance.)
  10. There is no sacrifice, only compromise. (Right on! No burden/guilt on either sides :) ) )
  11. Sex or no sex: it doesn’t matter, either way it isn’t an issue and nobody has been pressured to do something they weren’t ready to do. (Yeah yeah we got this one down pat :) ) )
  12. You know that everything you feel is returned in kind by your partner. (OK, I know I sorely lack in this department too. As in, I don’t return enough in kind I suppose…. Learning curve, learning curve…. )

I’ve got a Secret…..

(Sheesh maybe one day I’ll learn how to make my own animated pics… Instead of using not-so-nice stuff… )

Cheh wah that IS a catchy title or is that a catchy title? (See angels above, that’s supposedly me, you know )

Anyways, I sound this site that provides quite an accurate view on my personality. Read on for more on Poh Ching .

___________________________

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true. (Really? Well I’ll leave that to my erm future boyfriend to decide HAHAHA :P )

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that’s why you’ll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with? (Hey! I don’t flirt and behave seductively, although the latter in italics is quite true :) )

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You’re a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you’ll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don’t succeed. Don’t give up when you haven’t yet even started! Be courageous. (Very, very, very TRUE. :’( )

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It’s time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear. (Though, I’m not too concerned about my image, and as to how people perceive me, it’s take it or leave it! )

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice (I try!). People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

___________________________

The Real You

Here is the analysis:

  1. You’ve got great self-confidence and you’re full of charm. Most guys who get to know you will be attracted to you. You are far from sweet and proper; your intriguing personality fascinates them. Most guys find it easy to fall for a girl like you. (Really? Must be lengchai wor :P )
  2. You don’t really care about other people’s feelings. You do things the way you want and usually think only about yourself. You are easy-going and love to have fun, but you can be irresponsible (Yes, I admit this – sorry… :/ ) as well. You are not keen on serious discussions because they can make you remember that life isn’t always about parties.
  3. You strictly follow rules, and you expect other people to be the same as well. (So so so very TRUE! That’s precisely what rules are for! To be kept in order, maintain the peace! Sheesh!) People can get tired of you easily, as you can make them feel a little guilty about themselves. (Er, no – I don’t give anyone guilt trips – except in my mind hehehe) You always make decisions on your own, and can be dismissive of other people’s advice. You like to be the leader in groups, but can forget to be concerned about the people you are with.
  4. Guys see you as being a thinker and a careful person. They will be really attracted to this quality in you, but you need to learn to speak your mind, otherwise people will find you too shy and quiet. Learn to relax and lighten up–it’s okay to have fun sometimes. When you learn to develop your fun-loving side, guys are going to flock to your side.
  5. Your boyfriend believes that you are a strong and independent person. Your confidence and cheerfulness make you an attractive person to be around, but sometimes you need to pay more attention to what other people, including your boyfriend, are thinking.

___________________________

What’s your personality love style?

Here is the analysis:

You desire a love that will last forever. You are quite serious about finding this type of love, and that’s why you think carefully about the men that you meet before deciding whether you could really love them. You don’t just develop a crush on someone overnight: you look at a person’s personality and other aspects of their life before deciding to form an attachment. If a guy doesn’t meet your expectations, you would rather be alone. Your love has to be perfect. Be careful though, you could be missing out on some worthy relationships because your standards are so high.

___________________________

What type of personality do you have?

Here is the analysis:

Bright and Cheerful

You are always cheerful and charming. You never get too serious with people when they’re around, but when you are alone, you think carefully about what they have said. That’s because you don’t want anyone to see you being too somber. Your personality means you have a lot of friends and you are often the center of attention. Many people who fall into this category become artists and movie stars, perhaps fame could be yours in the future as well. (Yay! I’m gonna be rich and famous!! Har har I wish! lol )

___________________________

Jealousy Test

Jealousy Level: 40%

You harbor hidden feelings of jealousy

You easily get jealous of other people, but you manage to control your expressions and emotions. For instance, when a close friend tells you that she has met the man of her dreams, you might sincerely say to her “Congratulations!”, but what you’re really thinking is “You’re so lucky! Why can’t I be you?” (Well only the example given – but NOT in other aspects.)

___________________________

Cinderella

How you control your husband, who will lead the family and who will be led?

The ring represents an invisible tie of relationship. You have an ability to control your husband. You often pretend to stay close to him in public just to beautify the image (No! I stay close because I love to be with him!), but you don’t pay much attention to him when you are with him in private (Wrong – totally!) . Manipulating him is good, right? (I never manipulate people – that’s just wrong. Maybe my dogs… Hehe!)

___________________________

Your Marriage

How will you choose your Mr Right?

You will make the most of being able to shop around for Mr Right. You love your freedom and will have a lot of fun learning about what sort of man you like. When you do find the guy for you, nobody will be able to keep you away from the church.

Who will be your future Mr Right?

Your future hubby will be lovely and sweet, but a little immature – possibly even a spoilt brat (Why is this touching a nerve in me… HRMM????!!!!! )! This guy will trigger your maternal instinct. You’ll always be willing to watch his back and clean up his mess. He might be the same age as you are or even younger. (This bit is so accurate, I think the author’s psychic, or a world class psychologist.)

When will you get married?

You will be very determined and thorough in choosing a spouse. You’ll study every detail about your man before saying yes to a life of love. You will eventually make a good choice, but you’d better be sure that he’s willing to wait that long. (Read above comment!!!!!)

What sort of wife will you be?

You are a bit tricky. You might pretend to be a sensitive and caring wife in his eyes, but you’ll be ready to laugh at him behind his back and eventually you may even leave him for another man. (Hoi! NOT true!)

Will you and your husband have a good time together?

You and your hubby will enjoy each other’s company playing games until you’re old. Whether you play tennis, golf, swim or even just go driving out of town, you’ll both stay healthy and happy. (If it’s Playstation maybe la hahahahaha)

What will your children be like?

Your kids will be quiet and won’t give you a hard time – they’ll be a joy to have around. However, you should teach them to be stronger and more confident in themselves. Otherwise they might grow up to be losers. (No comments. Unless kids refer to my dogs – this is so very true. :P It’s true! My Aeris is afraid of strangers :( ( But she IS a joy to have around :) ) )

How loyal are you?

You get along very well with most guys. (Mostly because they think I’m “guy”-friend material.) Sometimes your friendliness misleads others to think that you’re a bit of a flirt, but actually you’ve got a loyal heart. You’ll never have eyes for anyone except your beloved husband.
More to come !! These quizzes are indeed fun!!! :P
