Birth Order

How does your birth order shape your personality?

If You’re the Second or Middle-Born …
Second and middle-born’s tend to be a bit opposite of first-borns. A middle child can be: a loner, quiet and shy, sociable, outgoing, friendly, laid-back, a peacemaker, aggressive, very competitive, or not at all. (Basically unpredictable.)

Their behavior traits are not as firmly etched as the first-borns, for their role model is usually not the parents much, but their friends. Friends are very important to this birth order. Also, the middle-born (and seconds) can observe the first-born and pick up some traits there, or decide to go in the other direction.

Although they’re far more outgoing than first-borns, middles are the most secretive. They’re also the most monogamous of all birth orders (My middle brother really takes to children and married life) and have less hang-ups. (There’s not as much parental pressure to succeed.) In essence, they’re very balanced.

They have excellent people-oriented social skills and often make great managers and leaders because they understand compromise and negotiation.

Wow, again this is quite true for me. I wouldn't say I got excellent people-oriented social skills but I have passable ones.

Gemini

What's the best career for a Gemini?

Want to make a Gemini happy? Give her plenty to do and make it intellectually stimulating. Remember that Geminis are twins, which means you have to engage two people, so they need to have a lot going on and like fast-paced, pressured environments. They won’t survive long doing tedious or repetitive work. Jobs that require travel are perfect, as are jobs that require social networking. Geminis are optimistic and full of energy—they should be encouraged to let go and express themselves rather than be confined to traditional rules. Best jobs: stockbroker, switchboard operator, technical support, teacher, architect, machine operator, rescue worker.

Those in purple definitely reflect me very well!

lil' twinkle

How I wish I can take the plunge and setup an online shop as well...I shall keep this dream in my mind and heart and hopefully one day I can also be able to be a self employed haha.

Anyway, this entry is dedicated to my fren JT who lives in KL and has recently worked with her sister to setup an online shop call Lil' Twinkle, selling clothing, accessories and all things for babies and kids. Goods are sold in Malaysian Ringgit, should be quite cheap for those who comes from a country whereby the currency is stronger in value.

It actually helps that her sister has a son who like to pose but so far I have not seen him make his debut on the online shop but I shall wait and see.

So for those of you reading who have babies or young children, go ahead and do some online shopping today!

It's not what you know but who you know.

Found out from an ex-colleague that one of my ex-company is closing down the Training section and thus he will be out of a job. But when I found out another ex-colleague who is also in the Training section is not affected, I feel so 'mad'.

Cos this ex-colleague is not a performer but very good at PR...and suck up to the right tree. So it doesn't really come as a surprise that her job is secured. Just felt that to let someone who can perform leave and keep one who is a weed, that just doesn't make much sense to me.

But in the corporate world, this is life, it is not what you know but who you know that matters, so have to accept it no matter what!

Boo Boo

Today I made a boo boo but maybe not..you can be the judge of it.

I was in the train today and I have been noticing a lady who was wearing a baby doll top and seems that she has a bump but no one gave up their seat to her so I was like hmm typical SGreans...so when the lady in front of me alighted there was an empty seat and I signalled to this lady to see if she wanted that seat...she gave me those deer caught in the headlights kind of fear look and wave no.

So I took the seat and thinking, maybe she wasn't pregnant and is shock that I gave up the seat to her...but after seating down, I kept looking her way and really did notice a bump under her top...so am I right or am I mistaken?

Just my luck!

I hope this is not a sign of things to come for me in the Year of the Ox.

Sunday - while having dinner, I had this itchy sensation on my right thigh and I reached my hand down to scratch but because I was sitting in between the table legs, the space was limited. So instead of relieving the itch, I ended up with a fingernail scratch on my right thigh.

Monday - I closed the windows and the door while I sleep because there have been an influx of mosquitoes around my house recently. So I had to turn on my fan and my fan make funny noises if it is angled differently. So in the middle of the night, I was awaken by the grrrrrrrr of the fan and I woke up to lift the fan higher. In the process, my finger slipped inside the grille and I now have a cut on my finger from the blades of the fan. But I was so tired that I didn't turn on the lights to check the cut, I just simply wash off the blood in the toilet and head back to bed. Only noticing the cut the next morning. It makes wearing clothes, showering and typing such a chore.

Tuesday - Thank goodness peaceful.

Today - I decided to come to work after lunch because I have to work till 10 pm earliest tonight as I have a teleconference which I have decided to take from the office. But of all days, my boss cannot reach one of my colleague in the office and found out both of us are coming in late today. So she sent me an email saying she doesn't mind but will appreciate it if I kept her informed that I have modified my working hours in the future. I turned on my blackberry the moment I woke up and read my emails and replied her today. I wouldn't call it modifying my working hours, it was just a one-time thing.

Anyway over, hopefully all peaceful for the rest of the year.

Smelling like a rose!

I visited some friends on Saturday and had the pleasure of seeing my friend's baby for the first time. She is simply so cute and adorable...love love love.

Anyway I came back home and while taking off my top I smell babyyyyy...I haven't smell like a baby for a while cos I haven't really been carrying alot of babies.

I took some pictures of the baby and can't wait to post it but I need her mum to say yes. So, can I? SL?
