[心理測驗] 你的心靈黑洞是什麼？

Spotted another fun yet accurate psychology test from Twbbs!

有個朋友東西壞掉了，需要你幫他拿個東西來修理，你覺得朋友需要哪個工具？

A 剪刀

B強力黏著劑

C螺絲起子

D鴨嘴鉗

---

Answers:

A.剪刀 --> 分離焦慮太執著，不願放手愛回憶
你對於過去跟人的分離，或是內在失去的一些東西，因為你害怕分離跟失去， 所以你沒辦法有個平衡。你一直想著為什麼他要離開？ 為什麼自己的人生得到的是這樣的結果？你會一直沉溺在回憶的狀態中， 會一直想要找到答案。建議你就盡量去回憶，盡量去尋找你想知道的答案， 深入去了解當時你自己做的決定，想通了之後你才能處理過去的情緒， 處理好過去的情緒才能夠面對未來。

B.強力接著劑 --> 童年經驗受傷害，心靈黑洞太沉重
你很想把心靈的傷口用強力黏著劑黏起來，童年時你受到非常大的傷害， 可能是肢體上或言語上、情緒上的暴力。這些你接受到的訊息， 會讓你覺得自己是不是個不被疼愛的人。如果那個童年經驗沒有被處理好， 長大後不管你面對工作夥伴、情人還是所在環境，你的不安全感都會非常強烈， 於是你的心靈黑洞就會非常沉重。雖然在外人面前你表現出很開心的樣子， 可是當你面對自己的時候，你感受到的是非常孤單跟寂寞。建議你回想一下， 童年時期你最渴望別人重視你的部分是什麼？是誰在你心中種下了心靈種子， 而那是你沒辦法接受的部分？把那一塊找回來，長大之後跟對方講清楚說明白， 這是重新再回溯中很重要的過程。

C.螺絲起子 --> 孤單寂寞怕失焦，希望有人保護你

你的內在是完全沒有安全感的，希望有個人站出來說你是他的人， 他就是要保護你，你需要的是能保護你的巨人，讓你覺得自己不是孤單寂寞的， 遇到事情都有人可以幫你做決定，或是提供你經驗跟答案。 因為你很害怕寂寞跟孤單，所以你需要有人保護你。

D.鴨嘴鉗 --> 害怕表現不優秀，在意別人的眼光
你要注意不能一直活在別人的眼光之中，別人對你好或肯定你你就會很開心， 別人不肯定你你就會非常失落，一直在想自己到底是哪裡做得不好， 一直在內心裡面反省。很多問題其實不在你自己，是在批評你的那些人身上， 他們其實是有問題的。你不要太在乎別人對你的批評， 要想一下他批評你的出發點是什麼。你要重新去回溯跟檢討一下， 其實不活在別人的眼光當中也是另一種成長。

Things to Fear

While reading the novel - Totto-chan by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, I came about this phrase which I find it quite deep.

Quoted from the book, page 81:

Having eyes, but not seeing beauty;

Having ears, but not hearing music;

Having minds, but not perceiving truth;

Having hearts that are never moved and

Therefore never set on fire.

These are the things to fear.

Not sure if I truly understand what it means, but it should get clearer as times goes by...

Heartplace

One of my all time favourites from ayumi hamasaki!

(Found this song while googling... Unable to extract from CD due to its copy control)

Lyrics:

We were seeking for freedom
Got hurt and did sinful things
My dear comrades
Who were so immature and awkward

I wonder if an adult with a child's mind
Should be called an adult
I cannot yet live cleverly

We're free to go anywhere we want
We're free to do anything we want
Against what and till when do I keep on fighting?

In this place
Where I feel stress even when breathing

I've come to be able to smile
Even when I feel no fun
I wonder if I have changed

We're free to go anywhere we want
We're free to do anything we want
Maybe I keep on fighting against freedom

We're free to go anywhere we want
We're free to do anything we want
Maybe I keep on fighting against freedom

When I felt the warmth of someone I passed by
Tears welled in my eyes suddenly
It might be you, it might be the guy
Or the girl

Ice Cream Gallery

ICE CREAM today~

As the shop name mentioned, this shop mainly sells ice cream - in scope and (500ML) tubes. It also sell waffles, coffees, cakes and milk shakes/float.

Ice Cream Gallery is quite similar to renowned shops like New Zealand and Haagen-Dazs. However, it is cheaper than both of these two shops.

There are currently two branches in Singapore - Eastwood Road (Near Bedok Camp) and River Valley Road.

This are some of the photos taken at Eastwood branch.

The front view of Ice Cream Gallery

Some random ice creams

From left to right: Belgian Chocolate, Coconut, Rum & Raisin and Vanilla

Only 2 seats and 4 chairs available. There are 2 extra small chairs though...

For those who want to eat some premium and yet affordable ice creams, can give it a try here. It's quite nice.

Uniqueness: All ice creams are homemade and reduced sugar - also a healthier choice

Price: S$3.30 a scope, S$3.80 for a scope of super premium ice cream

Taste: 7.5/10

Location:

20 Eastwood Road

#01-13 Eastwood Centre

Singapore 486442

[心理測驗] 日本電視心理遊戲

先動用一點點想象腦筋，構想以下的畫面：

1.一匹在原野上奔跑的駿馬
2.一棟鄉村式的小房子
3.一個在照相的攝影師
4.一座愛與美女神維納斯(Venus)的雕像

現在從這四樣東西選出三樣.

你選的哪三樣東西並不重要，當然它們還是對你有一定的吸引力，不然你不會選。

重點是『那樣你放掉的 (沒選的)，便是你最想簡瑼滿A也就是你勞累的根源。』

1．駿馬代表工作
2．房子代表家事
3．攝影師則是人際關係
4．維納斯雕像是和愛情有關的事

準不準...？! 遊戲只能讓你大概知道自己為什麼最近比較煩！
不能教你怎麼解決煩惱。
其餘的，就看自己了。 挫折、失望，累人的事每天一定有，痛苦則是一種選擇！
試著改變一下自己每天的生活作習！

Ironic

"Joshua Ang grieves over dead mother on his blog" - Yahoo! Singapore News. I found the subject sounds interesting, so I went to read what it talks about.

"Actress Koh Ya Hwee also wrote a blog entry titled "Appreciation", reminding everyone to appreciate their parents."
Taken from one of the paragraphs from Yahoo! Singapore article

Um... Very true... Everyone indeed need to be reminded of that. 'Cause everyone know that... but everyone keeps forget it.

Sounds ironical, isn't it? We know that one day our loves one will be gone, still, we do not truly appreciate it. It's only when we lost it, then we realised - Things shouldn't take it for granted.

For people who always advise to other people, do not wait until you regret. I believe, the ones who said all these, are, because they experienced the lost first, then regret... Though, there are people who really appreciate everything, who don't take things for granted - even for small little kind acts. but truly, how many are there?

Humans are somewhat forgetful creatures. To really understand "appreciation" - one need to experience pain, feeling of lost, regrets, etc... There are of course, some people who can just bypass this stage and knows how to appreciate. And some of them might not even know the meaning or ever go think of the word "appreciation"! Haha...

We all know that things shouldn't take for granted, we should appreciate the ones who cares for us... We know it, but how come we don't appreciate it? Why...?

Quotes Of The Day #2

#4: Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom is a simplicity

#5: Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present but not giving it

#6: Forgiveness does not change the part, but it enlarge the future
(Took this in a hurry, but the meaning should be more or less there)

P.S. Again, all these are taken from the MobTV

Walk in the Discovery Science Centre

Went to the Science Centre recently. it changed a lot. Compare to the past, I think it was much fun than before.

Saw this near the traffic there. You will need to pay to get into the 3D theatre in order to watch this "SEA MONSTERS"

T-Rex... Or is it not? Anyway, the "McDonald" logo there sure is a spoiler... zZz

A Dodo grabbing a girl
What did you see in this picture? I took about half a min to figure it out... lol

One of my favourites... See any people hiding??

Optical Illusion, just a look and it seems interesting!

They sure are genius to make this!!

Picture frame that will forever look the same even if you turn it 180 degree

A bowl of vegetables

Cute pumpkin face... haha

Reminds of Channel 8 old show, 千年传说 or 千年不老 (Forgot the exact title)

Future house application, using sensor thing... High Tech SIA~

Can view photos, videos, and... erm... I forgot...

Fish Pond in the table... haha, you can play with the water... Concept similar like Microsoft Surface

Light change to red... This area is like an information place, where you can access information about some of the places in the Science Centre

After that, got this colorful tunnel. The steps that you took will appears squares of colors underneath you

A science competition was held. This booth shows playing of magnets and batteries... Good and bad conductor of electricity, etc...

There is even this cave-like room which lets you experience how it is feel being in a green house effect environment... It was warm... but you will start to sweat after 1min and 21 seconds in the room (The time I anyhow came out one, don't take it real)

An eel with a leopard-like spots... haha...

Another one of my favourites. This surprise me... When you sat on it, it will take your weight. Then on its right, there is this small touch screen thing, which requires you to input some of your information like Name, Age and Height. Through the sensor, it will sense your high blood pressure, cholesterol, etc... After that, it gives some feedbacks...

This is just like "Who wants to be an Millionare"... haha, not bad, quite fun but the guy who do the talking (inside the screen) was quite slow. Oh, the questions aren't that easy...

This creature here is called Leopard Geckos. So far, one of the nice-looking lizard I've seen

Those 2 here got a hamster face and a mouse tail... hahaha... Anyway, it is called Gerbils, aka "deserts rats". It appears on Africa, Indian, and other countries...

The Science Centre closed at 6pm... It is quite worth the trip to here. But the sad thing is that the dinosaur exhibition is over... Haiz...

July 1st

Today's the July 1st, and coincidenally there is a song excatly the same title - July 1st! It is sang by the J-pop Queen, Ayumi Hamasaki.

Here's the song! (I got this song from a random web hosting website... )

Lyrics:

The sky is turning little by little
From blue to orange
The colours are getting mixed
And dyeing the city deeply

Were you crying?
I didn't turn my face

If it's fine tomorrow, I will go to that sea
Changing the pain with the tears shed yesterday
Into tenderness

Above my head is just the wind blowing
With the sunlights between the clouds
And the sound of the waves rolling on the shore
Is washing everything away

I feel I have found out
What I have been looking for so long

If it's fine tomorrow, I will go to see you
Yes I will be long with you
Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow

Even if it rains tomorrow
I will go to see you
And give this song to you

If it's fine tomorrow, I will go to that sea
The pain with the tears shed yesterday are changing
Into tenderness

If it's fine tomorrow, I will go to see you
Yes I will be long with you
Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow

Save Money, Save The Earth

Well, took this from South East Community Magazine. Thought it got some nice tips there, so decided to scan and post it up here! ^^

Quotes Of The Day #1

Saw these quotes from TV Mobile, and it seems quite interesting.

#1: The real secret of patience is to find something to do in the meantime
(That's what I always does! HAHA!)

#2: When we set goals, let's try to enjoy every trip we take
(Go enjoy the process!!)

#3: Life without friendships is like a sky without the sun

There's more, but I only managed to take note these 3...

P.S. I missed some of the words in one of these quotes, but the meaning are more or less the same...

Chocolate from Chocolat Factory

One of my family members gave me this box of chocolate. The box and design seems nice and classic. I wonder how much it cost... Seems quite ex... The name or rather brand of this chocolate I think it's called "Chocolat Factory", and yes, the chocolate ends without the "e"... haha

Cover of the chocolate. What does the "grs" means? Grams?

The box of the chocolate... On the label - "Garantia Choclat Factory"
Only 5 chocolates inside the box (1 is being hidden, haha), they so stingy sia!!

Gonna 慢慢品尝 it, otherwise eat finished at a go seems very wasted nia!

[News] Conflicts Over "Best Coach of the Year" Award

Click to enlarge to read it

It's an old news taken from "my paper", 1 or 2 weeks ago. Scanned this for my friend, so might as well share it here. This particular article was also very interesting, showing the debates between 3 people, the chairperson (李美花), the coach (刘国栋) and 陈英梁 (Representative of Singapore for the Beijing Olympic). I wonder how this thing came about, seems quite sudden...

This article was generally talking about a chairperson (李美花) of STTA (A table tennis organisation) decided not to nominate 刘国栋 as the "Best Coach of the Year". Hence, all these fury debating came to surface.

Sky

Took this photo while travelling inside the airside... It is taken at the "North Perimeter" (A road name they gave at the airside). Nice route, seems neverending...

A tornado will be nicer

Evolved Recycle Bins

While going for lunch, something special caught my attention. The usual recycle bins have now became nicer and more innovative!

This is the usual recycle bins (It is still being used though...)

And now... The new recycle bins!!! Aren't it nice?!
(So far only spotted 2 areas that got this new ones)

Temps people to dump those papers, cans or plastic into it!! Haha...

School Project Days...

Projects are stressing and tiring,
sometimes demoralising and filled with anxiety,
but the process are memorable...

Workplace at CAAS

Long Time No See!! Hoho~ I am back after from my Director-General training! Haha

This is the place where I work as an Interns for my SIP... Haiz... the pay is pathetic... Anyway, the working environment so far, not bad...

Apron Control Cabin (Yes, Apron... I also don't why it is being named "Apron"). This place is where they allocate air planes to specific gates (As in like, car park)

Place where Kenneth and I sat (For the 1st week and 2 days)

A LCD for us, hoho! We are just fated to be a director!

After watching, still can go grab something to drink. Don't think there is only plain mineral water, we choose to lead a healthy lifestyleDrink too much water also never mind, there's still a staff toilet in this office!
Erm... look perfect to film some horror scenes inside this toilet, or perhaps some other shows like...

After that 1 week, Kenneth and I are posted to the office in airside. Being in the airside means, go into the transit (DFS area) -> airside (Place where you can directly see those air planes!)

In the transit, there's this small cute and beautiful little gardenEverything looks nice except for the spoiler background My camera does a pretty good job in taking those photos ^^ (Also because there's a talented photographer!) And last but not least...

That's it, will try to post some airside pictures next time!

[心理測驗] 現在的你，最渴望的戀愛對象是什麼類型？

Personally think it's quite true, so try it out!

你會挑選以下哪一種香水呢？

Ａ薄荷、綠葉類的清新香

Ｂ檸檬、柳橙類的柑橘香

Ｃ玫瑰、茉莉類的花香

Ｄ冰淇淋、草莓牛奶類的甜香

---

解析:

Ａ薄荷、綠葉類的清新香：一起成長的知性類型　

具有求知慾的你對世界充滿想像，能夠從一些細微的小地方，品味出世界上各式各樣不同的美好。你喜歡不斷學到新事物的生活，因此同樣擁有好奇心且興趣廣泛的戀愛對象最適合你。雖然在旁人的眼中，你們的話題可能談天說地多於談情說愛，不太像是傳統的戀愛方式，然而你們卻能在相處中分享成長的快樂。

Ｂ檸檬、柳橙類的柑橘香：是情人還是朋友類型

你覺得生活壓力有點大，還有很多其他的事情要煩惱，因此不想把愛情兩個字說得太白，維持若有似無充滿想像空間的相處方式，讓你進可攻退可守。目前適合的對象? 能是認識已久的朋友，他需要有耐性陪你嘗試搞曖昧的遊戲，隨時可以退守到「朋友」這條界線。

Ｃ玫瑰、茉莉類的花香：心臟強韌的勇士類型

現在的你心中填滿了一觸即發的熱情，愛情熱力就像夏天的太陽一樣，想要嚐嚐愛得天玄地轉的滋味，因此適合你的對象必須大膽而直接，因為你沒什麼耐性玩猜心的遊戲。他不但要有和你一樣能快速引爆的愛意，更要有強韌的心臟，才能夠承受你如花火般燃燒一瞬間、有可能剎那熄滅的愛戀。

Ｄ冰淇淋、草莓牛奶類的甜香：都會感的成熟類型

你並不排斥談戀愛，但是再戀愛的同時，你也需要空間去追求個人生活的提升，因此個性成熟且年齡較長的對象會是你目前較適合的選擇。他對人情事故有著一定的了解，處世態度圓熟，可以諒解你需要時間想要成長的心願，甚至還能擔任你生活上的導師，這樣你們才能擁有健康而正面的戀愛關係。

So how? Accurate? Haha!

LAIT Class Gathering at Eugenia's House

Got a LAIT class gathering at our communication skills 2 tutor, Eugenia's house around in mid-March. Took couple of photos using different cameras (Include phone camera) and by different people, hence the photos are in different sizes and resolution.

This class gathering was rather special. Instead of paying money to the organiser to buy the food, we bring our own food. This was because Eugenia's think that it might not be appropriate to held a BBQ as it might rain (It was a rainy season during that month...), hence she suggested this.

Gathered at Pasir Ris Interchange. A candid shot before we board the bus!

The food we brought. Notice any unusual?

Settling the foods location. What was that look from the green guy? Haha...

Watching TV and chattingWhile some are sleeping... zZz... Our bags are still in the living room, so Eugenia asked us to put our bags in this room. And we found one special chair that Vera is sitting on...Back to the living room, everyone's position changed! Lol...

Finally time to eat. This cake is brought and made by Caleb, and cut by me! ^^

After a series of unsatisfieness going around, Eugenia came teach me personally how to cut the cake... =_="

A slice of cake (As if you all can't see)... Anyway, it was real delicious! But not too suitable for those who are slimming down... But people like me can eat more... Wahahaha!!

Too many junk foods, and no one bring any proper foods (Like rice, noodles, abalone and etc). So we decided to order pizza. And of course, Eugenia treated us.

Back to the living room... Some chat with the tutor. (I know, unglam pose from Eugenia...)

Caleb took this picture... Quite interesting, huh?

Weidi and Caleb... Btw, Caleb is the photographer of the day!

Eugenia's daughter, Abby came back from her grandma's house! Acting cute here... haha

Abby: Don't try to be funny with me!!

Eugenia: Look there!

Eugenia feeding her daughter?? Not sure...

It's getting late... Before we leave, we decide to take a class photo. We put the camera on one of the shelfs and test out... And... this is how it looks like...

But in the end, it was Eugenia's husband who helped us to take this class photo! LOL!!

And wah, it was rainy quite heavy by the time when we decided to leave... Lucky, Eugenia's husband send us to the bus stop...

P.S. My English totally sucks here... Will amend it soon... lol And pardon me if the process does not flow smoothly, cause it was during March, I have forgotten some of the details... x.x"
