Batam Trip

2D1N Batam Trip with 礼德 (07062014 - 08062014)

One month late on this post. But I'm really happy that I went on this trip. Bonding time with my Grandma and my 2 lovely cousins. Its been awhile since I hang out with my 2 lovely girls. heheh. They'd been my only girly playmates since I was young cuz the rest of cousins are boys and I learnt how to play barbie dolls and all the girls stuffs from them hahahah! 

And also to meet up with my long lost vegetarian friends :-) Its been awhile but we are always there!
Really miss hanging out with them <333 we are all busy with our lives now but I guess if I ever need a prayer, I can just drop by your houses eh? :) 





“Friends are a strange, volatile, contradictory, yet sticky phenomenon. They are made, crafted, shaped, molded, created by focused effort and intent. And yet, true friendship, once recognized, in its essence is effortless. Best friends are formed by time. Everyone is someone's friend, even when they think they are all alone. If the friendship is not working, your heart will know. It's when you start being less than perfectly honest and perfectly earnest in your dealings. And it's when the things you do together no longer feel right. However, sometimes it takes more effort to make it work after all. Stick around long enough to become someone's best friend.”

The Determined Realist

A Personality:

Determined Realists like to bear responsibility and welcome challenges. They are stable, reliable persons. External contacts are very important to them; they mix well and are very active. They are excellent organizers and are very happy when things are done correctly and punctually; they can quickly react impatiently if others are not as conscientious, orderly and dutiful as they are.

They prefer structured work which produces visible results quickly to abstract, long-drawn-out processes. Determined Realists have no problem with routine as long as it serves efficiency. However, they very much dislike unexpected and unpredictable occurrences which mess up their careful plans. Once they have committed themselves to a cause they do this with dedication and are willing to make considerable sacrifices for it.

Determined Realists do not avoid conflicts and criticism but face up to them and look for solutions. As they have a keen eye for the errors and shortcomings of others and are often quick at expressing criticism, they sometimes rub people up the wrong way especially when they lose their temper and jump to conclusions. Due to their marked sense of justice they are quickly willing to correct themselves and never take offence if someone speaks to them frankly. You do not have to seek hidden motives with them; you always know where you are. Determined Realists are often found in executive positions as they combine commitment, competence and the ability to assert themselves. In their spare time, they often also accept responsibility in clubs and other institutions. 

Traditions rate highly with Determined Realists. They attend every family event and never forget a birthday or wedding anniversary. Family and friends are very important to them. With their open, communicative manner, they find it easy to get to know people and have a large circle of friends and acquaintances. They are never superficial, but reliable and loyal friends who are always there when they are needed. Determined Realists take their relationships very seriously - they dream of finding a partner for life. In a love relationship, they seek above all stability and loyalty and here, too, they are willing to invest a lot in a harmonious togetherness. Determined Realists master crises or difficult phases with composure; they would never think of breaking a promise given. As a partner, one can always rely on their support.

As a Determined Realist, you are one of the extroverted personality types. You enjoy working in a team as a colleague or a team leader. Because you have an outgoing nature, you approach others easily and openly; working in solitude by yourself would be punishment for you. You know how to appreciate a harmonic working climate, but the relationship to your colleagues is not as important to you as to some of the other personality types. For you, the task always comes first and your colleagues and/or superiors are second. As long as everybody is working as disciplined and determined as you are, everything is just fine.

However, if you sense that the work is suffering from irrelevant disputes or private matters that have nothing to do with the job, you have no problem expressing your criticism, and making your team toe the line. It would never occur to you to sacrifice a good result in your work on the altar of personal moods, or in favor of a conflict free environment. On the other hand, you are one of the personality types who is best at handling criticism, and swallow negative feedback without brooding or sink into depression. Consequently, you also can hold your ground in professions where the climate is a little rougher and more competition oriented.

You are an excellent organizer, and a genius at planning and maintaining a workflow that is precise and on time. You enjoy dealing with details and facts, developing rules and guidelines, and establishing standards. Here, your natural sense for systematic and love of order prove to be advantageous; as well as your acute aptitude to see the most efficient of all possible approaches.

Where your work is concerned, “reliability” is your second name. You have a real problem leaving things to chance, and you hate nothing more than when something unexpected happens, thus throwing your carefully laid plans into chaos without warning. When a project you conceived is implemented without any hiccups and is brought to a good end, this is your greatest joy.

Adjectives that describe your type: extroverted, practical, logical, planning, direct, structured, conscientious, responsible-minded, self-confident, critical, honest, orderly, reliable, controlled, objective, able to concentrate, resolved, purposeful, communicative, with a sense of duty, tradition-conscious, stable, able to deal with conflicts, solution-oriented, relationship-oriented, efficient, impatient, warm-hearted, competition-oriented

PS: I like the determined realist and should be working towards it! :-) Aren't you falling in love with this personality? A mix of everything!!

@Zhanggggg



To the most elegant yet blur lady in my circle.
(Don’t even understand how you are so demure but careless at the same time)

Hate you for being so tall, skinny and elegant
Hate you for quitting 2 weeks before me
Hate you for your sarcasm 
Hate that you are leaving SG in 4 days(?!)
Hate that you make me worry about your carelessness

This lady will cry at the least romantic/touching scene of all the Korean dramas and laugh like a 5 year old at the lamest American humour! (A total opposite of me, but it’s obviously alright!) We’ve been through really really tough times like going to Cafes every single day to mug for our “design for us to die” papers and brainstorm for all the projects after projects. Yes, I am still sick of starbucks and coffee bean rn *pukes* 

Next, stop falling down and injure yourself / landing yourself in the hospital! You hate injections yet you… are so careless!!!! (Someone worst than me! Sigh!) Please continue to work hard on your sense of direction, it CAN be trained ok! (Don’t keep losing your way!!!!)  Also, don’t get emotional at every single thing haha, sometimes it is not worth it!! (You will get more wrinkles only, what for!?!?!) 

I am going to miss your sarcasm to everything. The way you get excited over maggie mee, mixed veg rice, and all kinds of weird food, etc. Thanks and no thanks for always bringing me to all kinds of places to eat. & I will miss your photo-editing skills~ Ok, maybe you should faster get a new phone and start editing photos again! And of course I am going to miss your high efficiency for online shopping, applying this and that online…. (Now you can’t help me with my VISA!!!!  ) 

Farewell with lotsalove <3

PS: Remember frugal lifestyle, you can do it, DO NOT SPLURGE!!! 真的真的很不舍得你,never thought that this day will come so soon... You've been beside me for almost every single day for the past 3 months and i see you like at least 3x a week for the past 3 years?! Now i bidding farewell to you, and might only see u 4 years later?? So unreal!!! I feel sadddd thinking about it ohhhnooo :(
