I've Learned

Author unknown (thanks to Kristal for submitting)

I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.

I've learned that it's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts.

I've learned hat you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better know something.

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do.

I've learned that you can do some thing in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I've learned that you can keep going long after you can't.

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel. That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done regardless of the consequences.

I've learned that money is a lousy way to keep score.

I've learned that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I've learned that the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to pick you back up.

I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I've learned that you should never tell a child their dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they believed it.

I've learned that no matter good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I've learned that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.

Steady, reliable, and cradling her tenderly. Take a deep breath, and let it out real easy…you are The Slow Dancer

There's also a powerful elimination process working in your favor: most Playboy types get stuck raising unwanted kids before you even begin settling down. The women left over will be hot and yours. Your ideal woman is someone intimate, intelligent, and very supportive.

While you're not exactly the life of the party, you do thrive in small groups of smart people. Your circle of friends is extra tight and it's HIGHLY likely they're just like you. You appreciate symmetry in relationships.

Ultra Ultimate Personality Test Result :: Protecter

Ok, from the link from cynthia's blog

Your Score: The Protector

You scored 47 Extroversion, 78 Intuition, 68 Emotional, and 47 Spontaneity!

INFJ

INFJs are intuitive, caring, quiet and peace-loving: deep and complex people who may seem equally at home dealing with the personal and analytical spheres of life. The interior world of vision and ideas is this type's most comfortable domain, but some degree of human connection is essential for the INFJ's happiness; a potential conflict for this type. Articulate, empathetic and idealistic, INFJs often say they just know things, they know them directly, and they may not be able to tell you how or why! INFJs seem to be able to feel others' feelings vicariously and sense the good and evil in situations: an almost psychic ability which may be an asset in many "people professions." Spiritual, sensitive and committed, INFJs enjoy being of service to others. Once this type's goals are set and the mind is made up, no argument based solely on reason and practicality is likely to divert the passionate INFJ from a mission or chosen project. Whether this characteristic manifests itself as admirable tenacity or bull-headed stubbornness may determine the individual INFJ's potential for life success.

Relationships
INFJs are warm and affirming people who are usually also deep and complex. They're likely to seek out and promote relationships that are intense and meaningful. They tend to be perfectionists, and are always striving for the Ultimate Relationship. For the most part, this is a positive feature, but sometimes works against the INFJ if they fall into the habit of moving from relationship to relationship, always in search of a more perfect partner. In general, the INFJ is a deeply warm and caring person who is highly invested in the health of their close relationships, and puts forth a lot of effort to make them positive. They are valued by those close to them for these special qualities. They seek long-term, lifelong relationships, although they don't always find them.

Strengths
Warm and affirming by nature
Dedicated to achieving the ultimate relationship
Sensitive and concerned for others' feelings
Usually have good communication skills, especially written
Take their commitments very seriously, and seek lifelong relationships
Have very high expectations for themselves and others (both a strength and weakness)
Good listeners
Are able to move on after a relationship has ended (once they're sure it's over)

If friends are for you to dump your problems…

I have decided to cast a counter-spell.

If friends are for you to dump your problems, then sadly, all your friends must be garbage collectors. Lol.

Friendship is an interpersonal relationship between two persons that is mutually productive, established and maintained through perceived mutual free choice, and characterized by mutual positive regard (Devito). Important points to note in a friendship is the willingness to invest time in it, and in the process, develop emotional closeness, acceptance, trust and support.

I think the sharing of happy and sad times are important for a good friendship. I don't think that a particular person can be forever happy, or forever sad. If a person keeps on sharing sad times with you, and maybe, you really are a garbage collector. If a person always talk about happy times with you, it might seem that, you have been perceived as not a good listener to be told of these unpleasant moments.

And maybe that's why some friendships never last. Lol.

We have to understand that the 3 very important aspects of interpersonal communications are that they are unrepeatable, inevitable and irreversible. What cannot simply talk back what one says. The impact still exists. One can only try to minimise that impact. Communication is just like pouring away a pail of water and trying to collect very drop back. ????. Therefore, before we say anything, we have to think first. Saying anything that comes to your mind may be good, but then, it may back-fire, resulting in conflicts, anger, hate, disappointment, and (probably unnecessary) emotional stress.

However (according to Miss Pang Kee Tai, my GEK1006 tutor, and her writings on mahjong paper during lesson), conflicts are natural processes in all relationships. They may be overt or covert. The related behaviors and meanings are shaped by social locations. They may be managed well or poorly, and they can actually be good for individuals and relationships. Hence, conflicts are sometimes good. They allow you to really think. It is important to tackle the problem at its root. According my tutor again, the phrase "??", consists of "??" and "??". In times of danger, there are opportunities to be found. So, starting finding them!

About how to get your point across, the usage of "I" statements have been suggested, together with DESC:

  • DESCRIBE situation that affects you,
  • EXPRESS your feelings,
  • SPECIFY what you want to see different, and lastly, the
  • CONSEQUENCES.

And also, STAR is another good thing, to remind one not to act rashly:

  • STOP
  • THINK
  • ACT
  • REFLECT

Stop is important. Stopping allows time to think, and the final results will be different. The different results may end up with a win-win situation, which we should try to achieve in times of conflicts.

And to sum up everything, friends are not just for dumping problems at. They are there as a support, through all good and bad times.

And of course, GEK1006 is a good module to take. Without the exam part. Gonna miss tutorial class… *sobz*… The best tutorial class is one that you walk in knowing little or nothing, and walk out feeling enriched and empowered. Miss Pang has done it. Let's show our appreciation by clapping! *clap clap clap*


Tada.. photo! Lol! Receiving of the Outstanding Social Worker Award 2001, from our President! Wahhh…. (as if you all can see her face in this picture like that.. bleahh) Actually should have taken photo in class. I forgot that I had a camera in my bag that day. Duhz.

Was looking at the ???????? scoresheet just now. Ok it sounds correct. Hmmm… 1 thing for sure: my keyboard is too short. =.=||

Heh heh… if you see any scoresheet with lots of a,b,c, f#, g, etc above the lines, it may belong to noobie me… Lol… But, who cares, as long as it sounds correct? Wahaha… I put melodies in memory anyway… No scoresheet required! Or maybe, just to double check on strange tunes. But then, usually, strange tunes are automatically modified by me, so… heh… Just assume the scoresheet is wrong! Wahaha!

But I am still noob. zzz

Ok. Sleep. Nitez.

Mike And The Mechanics – The Living Years

The Living Years
by Mike and the Mechanics

Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door

I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him
In the living years

Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got

You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defence

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness that lasts

So don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you don't give up,
And don't give in
You may just be OK

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

I wasn't there that morning
When my father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say.

I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him
In the living years

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye


this's the song we listened to during GEK tutorial 2 weeks ago! Opps… now then go find, because I forgot to do so.. bleahh..

It's better to be late than never eh? Lol…

Don't Look Back While Reading This Post!

Omg… do you know that… it's dangerous to turn your head…. while reading this?

Turning your head slowly, will cause you to feel uneasy. You will feel that you are being watched from behind. You will feel something. Something creeping around, just behind you…

You never know…

But guess what…

You might find a pumpkin smiling happily at you!!!

Whaahaha!!!!

Happy Halloween~~
