The cycle started after 4.30pm, while I am still working… Oh my god!! Lucky me that both my boss and supervisor went out for meeting. And I doubt that they would make it back before 6pm, the official knock-off time. Haha… my actions sounded fishy rite? No worries, just slacking for a few moments… would make it short la…
The day started with a nerve-racking walk to the office. Having conveniently forgotten to keep the precious umbrella in my bag after leaving it to dry in the office the day before, I was really troubled when I stepped out of the MRT. The sky looked threateningly gloomy, pregnant with heavy dark clouds. All I could do during the rapid 5 minutes walk was to constantly pray that I would not be caught in a storm… Tsk tsk… Serve me right for my carelessness! **smack ** Thus, by the time I got to office, I am feeling so warm and sticky… What a “great” way to start a Friday… Haiz ~
After running a few errands, I settled to begin another demanding job – sealing all certificates and first directors’ meetings. Indeed challenging, as those mean little common seals required me to use a lot of strength before they leave an impression on the documents… **BINGO** Before long, I was drained totally of my strength. Leaving me both hungry and tired, this task had also added a few more new cuts to my already ugly collection… And time seemed to CRAWL… Why can’t it speed forward to 1pm? Then I could replenish my wasted strength and…
SLEEP!!
Oh no… this sleepiness must be due to the food that I had taken for lunch… Ate way too much leh… What can I do to chase the Zzz-bugs away? I had not plotted to stuff myself with so much treats that I am currently un-functional…
**stifling a big and loud yawn while forcing the tears back**
“Fly bah… I grant you the wings of flight… Just return the favor with the hands showing 6pm… Lalalaaaa…”
*******************************************
I am so hooked up on the new song for the upcoming gundam anime - Gundam Seed Stargazer. The opening: STARGAZER ~星の扉~, is to be sung by Satori Negishi, a newcomer. The melody is so beautiful and touching that I can't help but repeatedly listen to it everyday. It had topped my most listened chart. So much so that I had the impulse of putting it on my blog. Haha... Can't wait to get my hands on the full version, and watch the anime along with it.
Gals, I have to make a confession...
I am so addicted to the gundam series!!

What's Your Best Quality?
Sin Fong, your top quality is Independence. Combined with your second- and third-ranked qualities, Intelligence and Compassion, you have a very unique set of characteristics you can use to your advantage.
Your Best Qualities Profile:
Quality #1: Independence
Being highly independent means liking to do things on one's own and being naturally self-sufficient. Independent people are as a whole more determined than most and tend to have higher intelligence. However, it is also true that one can be independent without having high determination or intelligence and vice-versa. Another thing most highly independent people have in common is that they can possess a greater sense of integrity than many people around them do.
You received a score of 100 out of 100 on this dimension. This indicates that compared with other people who took Tickle's test you have relatively higher level of confidence.
Quality #2: Intelligence
People scoring high in intelligence are more likely to be unique. Higher intelligence offers greater possibilities in terms of how someone is likely to interpret the world. In addition, intelligent people are typically more able to articulate themselves well and to have high integrity.
You received a score of 99 out of 100 on this dimension, indicating that compared with other people who took Tickle's test, you have relatively higher intelligence.
Quality #3: Compassion
Being high in compassion indicates a great level of empathy toward others, kindness, and thoughtfulness. People who score highly on this quality often are more affectionate than others are. They also generally feel that they have high values. This quality of compassion tends to come out most strongly in relationships and can be felt as warmth toward a significant other or concern about that person's feelings and general welfare.
You received a score of 83 out of 100 on this dimension. Your score indicates that in general you're relatively more compassionate than people who took Tickle's test.
Quality #4: Creativity
Being high in creativity indicates a high level of imagination and innovation and usually is associated with a very unique personality. In addition, individuals who score highly on this dimension are normally quite intelligent. The stereotype of the highly creative person is one who is intense and passionate. Tickle's research generally backed up this preconception, finding that creativity does indeed tend to coexist with a passionate nature.
You received a score of 83 out of 100 on this dimension, indicating that you are relatively more creative than most.
Quality #5: Honesty
Being perfectly honest means telling the whole truth, even if it hurts. Most people bend the truth some of the time. People high on this scale are relatively less likely to tell a lie than others. Honest people tend to be happier, healthier people with strong values in general. They look to the future with hope and tend to be optimistic, believing that things will turn out well. They can also be slightly more down-to-earth.
You received a score of 77 out of 100 on this dimension. This indicates that you are relatively more honest than other Tickle test takers.
Quality #6: Easygoing
Being high in this quality means that someone is relatively calm, that the ups and downs in life don't tend to send them over the edge. Easygoing people are usually more tolerant than others are and can be hesitant to judge other people's actions. Rather than doubt the people around them, they tend to give them slack when they need it. In addition, easygoing people are usually down-to-earth types that don't seek fancy material things. It's possible to be materialistic and easygoing at the same time, but that combination is the exception and not the rule.
You received a score of 66 out of 100 on this dimension, suggesting that you are relatively more easygoing than others who took Tickle's test.
Quality #7: Reliability
Being high in this quality indicates exceptional integrity. People who score high in reliability are more likely than others to keep their word. They're also likely to have solid values that they stick by even when times get difficult. Generally speaking, this is the kind of person you can really count on. They are also, as a whole, more honest than most.
You received a score of 65 out of 100 on this dimension. This indicates being relatively more reliable.
Quality #8: Determination
Scoring highly on this quality indicates a strong ambition in life — the kind of drive that makes a person determined to reach the goals they set for themselves. People high in determination are more likely to make decisions easily and to have a strong sense of themselves. These types are normally slightly independent. They also often look past the superficial side of life, making them more down to earth than many people.
You received a score of 64 out of 100 on this dimension. This result indicates that you are relatively more determined than most.
Quality #9: Adventurousness
Scoring highly on this quality indicates that a person is willing to seek out new experiences and may even occasionally go out on a limb to try new things. In this way, adventurous types seem to feel that although change can be risky, or even scary at times, it can also be exhilarating. People high in this quality tend to live by the motto, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Research indicates that adventurous people are generally happier than their less adventurous counterparts. In addition, they tend to have a love for life, feel secure, and be determined to reach their goals.
You received a score of 48 out of 100 on this dimension. Your score ranks you as being slightly less adventurous than others who took Tickle's test.
Quality #10: Confidence
Scoring highly on this quality indicates that you are confident in life. People with high confidence are more likely than most to believe in themselves and to feel that they are strong, secure, intelligent, and sexy. In fact, all of the qualities that people can tend to feel insecure or uneasy about, confident types tend to feel positive about and secure in. In addition to these strengths, confident people are more likely to be articulate, somewhat optimistic, and unique.
You received a score of 39 out of 100 on this dimension indicating that you have slightly less confidence than many of the people who took Tickle's test.
Quality #11: Stability
Being high in this quality indicates emotional and psychological stability. Normally, high stability scores indicate a high level of general happiness, a general sense of security, and solid confidence. Often, those who are highly stable are financially stable, as well.
You received a score of 24 out of 100 on this dimension. This score indicates having a slightly lower level of stability compared to others.
Quality #12: Optimism
Being high in optimism indicates that when a person looks into the future, they see good things to come. People with an abundance of this quality usually feel safe as they move through life because they can see the positive side of what they encounter. Believing that things turn out well may be something experience has taught them. It may also simply be in their nature to feel this way. Generally highly optimistic people love life and are happy. They can also have a unique edge to them due to feeling more secure than most. In addition, optimists can love a great conversation and be slightly more ambitious in their life goals than the people around them.
You received a score of 18 out of 100 on this dimension. This score indicates that you're slightly less optimistic than the majority of test takers.
Quality #13: Communication
Being a strong communicator indicates an above-average ability to articulate ideas and feelings. People high in this quality tend to enjoy the act of communicating and can appreciate their own skill at it. Crafting a graceful phrase or telling an engaging tale are the kinds of talents that strong communicators are likely to be known for. Many people high in this quality also love to talk. Perhaps due to all of these skills, being high in this dimension is usually associated with a reasonably high level of confidence, intelligence, and decisiveness.
You received a score of out of 100 on this dimension, indicating that you are skilled in the art of communication than the majority of Tickle's test takers.
Quality #14: Humor
People who are high in this quality typically get most jokes — even when the joke is on them. Not surprisingly, people high in humor are likely to be known as the funny ones among their crowds. Also notable is that it takes a good deal of intelligence to be humorous. So while most funny people are smart, not all smart people are funny. Overall, there aren't many other traits typical of people with a great sense of humor. This is a unique quality that stands separate from the rest.
You received a score of 12 out of 100 on this dimension, meaning that your sense of humor appears to be slightly less compared to that of others.
Quality #15: Romanticism
Being high on this quality indicates a tendency to romanticize life and to fully enjoy the romantic aspects of intimate relationships. When a highly romantic person makes a step forward in a relationship, it typically has both significance and flair. High romance is associated with both highly affectionate behavior and a strongly passionate nature. Romantic people are usually thoughtful, compassionate, and sexy. Also, perhaps because of their sometimes-dreamy nature, people high in this quality tend to be optimistic about what life will bring.
You received a score of 5 out of 100 on this dimension. Your result indicates that you're slightly less romantic than others who took Tickle's test.

Don’t Look Back
浜崎 あゆみ
Modore nai modora nai kaeru basho wa mou nai
Ikura furikaette mo kaerare nai
Kirei na ashiato ni nuri kaeta tokoro de
Jibun no kokoro dake wa damase nai
I can’t go back, I won’t go back, there’s nowhere left for me to return
However much I look behind me, I can not change my footprints
And even if I paint over them beautifully
My mind won’t be deceived
(Don't look back) Kakkowarui
(Don't look back) Tokoro koso ga itooshii
(Don’t look back) The unattractive
(Don’t look back) parts of myself are dear to me
Modore nai modora nai kaeru basho wa mou nai
Ikura furikaette mo kaerare nai
Kirei na ashiato ni nuri kaeta tokoro de
Jibun no kokoro dake wa damase nai
I can’t go back, I won’t go back, there’s nowhere left for me to return
However much I look behind me, I can not change my footprints
And even if I paint over them beautifully
My mind won’t be deceived
(Don't look back) Waraeru no wa
(Don't look back) Toori sugita kara koso
(Don’t look back) I can smile
(Don’t look back) Because that period is over
Susumi tai susume nai sou yatte Mayotte
Iru tte koto wa mou mayotte nai
Koko de todomaru nara ikuraka raku kamo ne
Dakedo mune o kogasu shigeki mo nai
I want to go forward, I can’t go forward
Hesitating like this means that I won’t hesitate anymore
It would be easier for me to stay here
But nothing would excite me
Nee dare mo kamo iidasu no wa
Ichiban kagayaite ta koro no jibun
Nante sore wa kanashi sugiru wa
What fulfils everyone is the period in their lives when they shone the most
How tragic that is…
Don’t look back
Susumi tai susume nai sou yatte Mayotte
Iru tte koto wa mou mayotte nai
Koko de todomaru nara ikuraka raku kamo ne
Dakedo mune o kogasu shigeki mo nai
I want to go forward, I can’t go forward
Hesitating like this means that I won’t hesitate anymore
It would be easier for me to stay here
But nothing would excite me
Modore nai modora nai kaeru basho wa mou nai
Ikura furikaette mo kaerare nai
Kirei na ashiato ni nuri kaeta tokoro de
Jibun no kokoro dake wa damase nai
I can’t go back, I won’t go back, there’s nowhere left for me to return
However much I look behind me, I can not change my footprints
And even if I paint over them beautifully
My mind won’t be deceived
Konna fuu ni maku wa orosu
Anata nara ...
The curtain falls in this way
And you…
Don’t look back
