♥ New Discoveries

Guess what I found... I was surfing the net with one of my housemates while having dinner, and we came across this blog. We found out that we could actually be 20th++ cousins of each other! (well, we usually use the term second cousins etc, and this is a little bit of exaggeration). At first we found a family tree of the five legendary Daengs, which develops further in Daeng Chelak's lineage. Then I got curious and googled some more. Then I came across this blog which is written by one of Daeng Chelak's descendants. I don't think it's a made up blog, because the evidences are pretty obvious and everything was explained in detail.

Anyways, as I read, it reminds me of a story that was once 'told' to me. :)

Melayu Beraja >> http://www.melayuberaja.org/

If you're also curious of what I'm talking about, feel free to visit that site. lol!

Oh! and I have some trivia for you girls! It's in Malay btw. 'How To Understand A Girl By The Way She Walks'. tehee. If you're interested, maybe I can translate it for you (for you non-Malay speaking people). But only after I get over my finals.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Berginjat
Jika dari belakang kelihatan seperti berginjat, wanita yang berjalan seperti ini dipercayai tidak jujur. Ketika berbicara, perkataan yang sering keluar dari mulutnya cenderung menyinggung perasaan orang lain.
Wanita yang berjalan seperti ini juga terkenal dengan sikap ego. Namun jangan risau, kerana wanita seperti ini biasanya menjadi pujaan ramai lelaki kerana memiliki wajah yang menarik.

Menoleh ke kiri dan ke kanan
Wanita yang berjalan sambil menoleh ke kiri dan ke kanan biasanya pandai menyimpan rahsia. Walaupun wanita seperti ini dianggap tidak jujur dan sombong tetapi banyak lelaki yang berusaha untuk menakluk hati mereka. Wanita seperti ini kononnya senang diatur dan diuruskan.

Menunduk
Wanita yang suka berjalan tunduk atau memandang ke bawah disifatkan memiliki sifat yang tertutup. Mereka hanya akan bergaul dengan orang yang rapat dan mereka yang dipercayai sahaja.

Namun, jika ada lelaki yang berhasil menawan hati mereka, dijamin akan mendapat kebahagiaan. Sebab, wanita jenis ini sangat setia dan tidak akan mengkhianati lelaki yang dicintainya.

Kepala menegak
Jika berjalan menatap lurus ke depan. Wanita seperti ini biasanya memiliki pendirian yang teguh dan bukan mudah hendak menggoncangkan imannya. Jangan sekali-kali menentang apa yang pernah dikatanya, jika anda tidak mahu pergaduhan kecil tercetus. Jangan heran jika wanita seperti ini hanya mahu bergaul dengan orang yang berpengalaman luas saja.

Badan bergoyang
Jika wanita berjalan dengan pergerakan badannya ke kiri dan ke kanan, tandanya wanita itu tidak ambil peduli dengan masalah yang berlaku. Apa pun masalah yang ada dihadapannya, ia akan dianggap kecil. Padahal masalah itu sebenarnya memerlukan kebijaksanaan untuk diselesaikan.

OK, That's all. Now gotta return to my finance CD~ -___-'''''

♥ 16 things about me

Jija tagged me, and I can't copy and paste the question. So I'll just go straight to the point with the 16 things/habits/goals about me... =) Btw, whoever reading this is tagged, as usual~ XD


01 I'm a very transparent person yet people still say that I'm very mysterious. Maybe it's because I don't talk that much, but when I do, I willingly let myself go and share almost everything.

02 I just realised that all my life, I've been working hard to please other people, and not myself. Yes... I'm not influenced by movies or anything. But that is a fact that I wish to change while I'm here in Australia. I want myself  to be happy and I want to be able to feel again.

03 When I listen to a song, I don't listen to it's composition, but the vocals of the singer. That is why I don't listen to singers like SNSD even though their songs are catchy and nice to listen to. They have good voices, but not great vocals. It's easy to get bored of songs that is not accompanied by talent because the vocals are what tells the story. *just stating an opinion. Please don't kill me*

04 I tend to laugh a lot, even for the smallest reasons. I think my heart is very ticklish~ XD Or maybe I am simply a happy person.

05 People tend to like Kpop or Korean music/drama. But I simply like TVXQ, and nothing else. Talking about biased much? =P I have no idea how TVXQ managed to crush my great barrier. But they did. That must mean they're more than mere singers...

06 I hate the Malaysian entertainment industry even though I am a Malaysian. I know I am supposed to support it, but I can't help noticing how the 'Malaysian Originality' has gone from the market itself. They should stop mimicking others and start to develop their own ideas. When Malaysia stops trying to be as great as other countries and starts to build its own individualism, that is when I'll rethink my stand...

07 My hair falls a lot. I wonder if its due to stress or due to the amount of MSGs I consume~ XD Or was it the shampoo? When I change shampoo, my hair still falls. When I'm not stressed, my hair still falls. When I haven't eaten maggi for months, my hair still falls... =.= Do I have a disease?

08 Achieving results with flying colours is not enough for me. Because it stays with you for only a moment before it flies away. I need my results to be consistent. And rainbows has only seven colours. I need much much more than that...

09 I prefer self-learning. I don't think going to class that provides you only with contents of the syllabus has much benefit going to. I need classes that can resolve my confusion, not simply academic based. That is why I love the system in UQ. Our lectures highlight ONLY the main points of the syllabus, you go back and read in the books to find out about the whole thing and make sense of it (sort of fill in the blanks), and you go to the tutorials to discuss problems from your readings for an hour or two with your course-mates. That is totally my kind of thing~ :D

10 I love guys with broad shoulders (like Jaejoong's). Even before I knew about TVXQ, I was sort of easily attracted to guys with broad shoulders. That seemed to be the first thing I'm looking out for. Aside from that, I  will pay more attention to their eyes. It's not exactly looking into their eyes and trying to figure out what is inside, but I just like looking at calm eyes of a guy. =) It tells you everything...

11 I am more interested in mingling stuff with the computer rather than taking care of a business. But I don't find the need to learn it is essential in my life. That is why I don't take Software Engineering for my degree, but Accounting and Finance instead. I don't want to learn what I love to do, but I want to do what I love to learn. Make sense? XD

12 I love cats. VERY MUCH. Whenever you see me down or sad, just give me a cat to huggle, then I'll be back to normal. =) I love chocolates too!

13 I tend to be very neat. Neat writing... Organised mess... ^_^ But my thoughts and ideas always seemed to be overlapped.

14 I tend to forget my initial point when I am halfway elaborating my ideas. When I talk to my friends and suddenly stopped midway, they'll immediately know that I forgot my point~ XD

15 I don't feel guilty of spending so much money to buy TVXQ stuff. But I do feel guilty to spend money in Australia. Maybe because I have my not-that-much allowance here (eventhough they say it's plenty, I still feel that it might not be enough~) haha!!

16 And lastly, I care a LOT about my friends, but I am very poor at keeping in touch. So if you miss me, just leave me a message. Because I will gladly get back to you. But it's kind of difficult for me to initially start the process~ XD

Now, as I've mentioned... YOU'RE TAGGED!!!

♥ Did another personality quiz...


Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
[yes, i do view myself this way... Though I'm not exactly sure if I should call myself down-to-Earth, but I sure hate bragging and being the center of attention.]


The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.
[TRUE! But I think that it's going to be a wee bit difficult. So I'll just let fate decide my path. When I see the green light, I should be ready to commit...]


Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
[Most probably~ loL!]


The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?
[NO, I don't like to flirt! I've never flirted all my life! >.< I don't even know how to!! Maybe I should do that from now on to get all those admirers clinging onto my arms~ ;D And darn! Of course I'm serious about choosing someone! That is why I still don't have anybody up until now!!!]


Your views on education
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.
[YUP! Definitely accurate! That is why I really have to set my mind right before starting a course. Or else, my mind will be all distorted and I might repeat my recent failure... =.=']


The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.
[Let me list all my dream jobs: writer, accountant, counsellor, software engineer, bookstore manager, umm what else... But yeah, I really should focus on one thing by now. Hey! I've chosen!!]


How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
[Not true... =.=' I don't believe in failure, I believe in DE-TOUR~ kekeke...]


What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
[Not true as well. I don't give a damn what other people see me as. As long as I'm happy being who I am, why does other people have to bother? ^0^]


Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
[Yup, people always say that I can give good advice. So I do qualify to be a good counsellor, right? :D And yes... It's hard to solve my own heart problem. That is why I tend not to feel, as in locking up my emotions. So that I can feel more neutral.]

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =


Here is the analysis:


  1. You are a very serious person. You tend to be quiet and well behaved, and you don't have a great deal of self-confidence. You prefer to be alone rather than with friends and that could make you a little less interesting to certain types of guys. You are very attractive in an individual kind of way, and this means it can take people a little while to get to like you. [Serious, check! Quiet, check! Well-behaved, check! Self-confidence? Hmm, more like I have a low self-esteem. But I'm pretty much confident about myself~]
  2. You really care about other people's feelings and are quite serious about the issues that affect your life. You are sincere, and your concern for the well-being of others makes many people want to be your friend. [YES! I think I care about other people much much more than I care about myself, up to the point that I don't know how to please myself anymore~ But I really enjoy seeing those smiles on other people's faces... =)]
  3. You are a bright, cheerful and bubbly person. You are thoughtful and considerate, and like to have fun. Everybody feels comfortable around you because of your pleasant nature. When you walk into a room, people's eyes are likely to be drawn to you because of your charm. [Bubbly? Oh I don't think so~ >.< More like being random and crazy. But I'm definitely not bubbly~~ And I don't think people's eyes are drawn towards me. LIES!]
  4. Guys see you as being a thinker and a careful person. They will be really attracted to this quality in you, but you need to learn to speak your mind, otherwise people will find you too shy and quiet. Learn to relax and lighten up--it's okay to have fun sometimes. When you learn to develop your fun-loving side, guys are going to flock to your side. [Really? That's exactly who I am! ^_^ And I will surely speak my mind, IF THEY TALKED TO ME! Haha! I don't like to speak without a purpose... Is that bad?]
  5. Your boyfriend believes that you are a strong and independent person. Your confidence and cheerfulness make you an attractive person to be around, but sometimes you need to pay more attention to what other people, including your boyfriend, are thinking. [Awwww... But I don't have a boyfriend. Not yet, and might never will. Because I'm looking for a soul-mate, not just a mere BOYfriend... XD And I've been thinking about other people too much!]
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

What's Your Personality Love Style?

Here is the analysis:



You desire a love that will last forever. You are quite serious about finding this type of love, and that's why you think carefully about the men that you meet before deciding whether you could really love them. You don't just develop a crush on someone overnight: you look at a person's personality and other aspects of their life before deciding to form an attachment. If a guy doesn't meet your expectations, you would rather be alone. Your love has to be perfect. Be careful though, you could be missing out on some worthy relationships because your standards are so high.

[TRUE, TRUE AND TRUE. But not true on the last statement. My standard aren't set up too high. I'm just looking for the right person! Simple as that~]

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

What Type of Personality Do You Have?


Bright and Cheerful



You are always cheerful and charming. You never get too serious with people when they're around, but when you are alone, you think carefully about what they have said. That's because you don't want anyone to see you being too somber. Your personality means you have a lot of friends and you are often the center of attention. Many people who fall into this category become artists and movie stars, perhaps fame could be yours in the future as well.


[Am I allowed to agree on this one? Coz you're the ones who sees me. I might think of myself differently from all of you. hehe~ But I'm positive that all those things listed are 99% me! ^_^ Except for the artist or movie star part~ >.< LOL!!]

I had to answer about 100 question, ticking on 5 answer choices which are 'accurate', 'moderately accurate', 'neither accurate or inaccurate', 'moderately inaccurate' and 'inaccurate.' And here are my results (The quoted stuff are my own answers to their questions~):




0

Openness
74%
Conscientiousness

Neuroticism

Trait Explanations

In order to interpret your raw trait scores, they were compared to the first 350,000 people to complete the full MyPersonality Big Five questionnaire. This allows the way that you described yourself to be put in the context of how other people respond to the questionnaire. You should remember that there are no fundamentally good or bad personalities, as each trait description has potential advantages and disadvantages. To help you reflect on these, you have also been given some questions which ask you to consider the implications of your trait descriptions. Other people viewing your personality profile will not be able to see these.

Openness

This trait refers to the extent to which you prefer novelty versus convention. Approximately 54% of respondents have a lower openness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is aware of their feelings but doesn't get carried away with their imagination either. You might say that you embrace change when it is necessary while still resisting it when you think it is not, and that beauty is important to you, but it's not everything.
Reflective question: When do you think that tradition is important, and when is it time for change?
"For me, tradition is most important when it involves your family and legacy because that is how it marks you special from the rest of the human being. And sometimes when I'm in a boarding school, it should be more proper to keep to the school's tradition, not bringing your own and distort the equilibrium of the school's existing social interactions since the school is the bigger community. But that doesn't mean that you have to submit everything and lose yourselves. That is what we call the need to GIVE AND TAKE.
And I think the most suitable time for a change is when you feel the need to grow up. We can expect change to happen very regularly, but not all changes might stay with you permanently. But when you grow up, the changes towards maturity is the most essential, because it stays. And this is the stage where you have to be very careful... And changes do not always mean switching. Changing is DEVELOPING."

Conscientiousness

This trait refers to the extent to which you prefer an organised, or a flexible, approach in life. Approximately 76% of respondents have a lower conscientiousness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who avoids foreseeable trouble through purposefully planning, and achieves success through persistence. From your responses it appears that you are reliable and prepared for life's challenges.
Reflective question: How do you feel when you are working with someone who is disorganised?
"To be honest, it could really be a pain in the ass. Lots of headaches should be expected NOT because the 'someone' is disorganised, but because you'll need to put in a lot of extra effort to fill in the gap holes to complete a task in one whole piece, without having chunks or gritted surfaces along the corners. But some help is better than none at all. So this is when there is a need to ADAPT."

Extraversion

This trait refers to the extent to which you enjoy company, and seek excitement and stimulation. Approximately 40% of respondents have a lower extraversion raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who prefers low-key social occasions, with a few close friends. You might say that it's not that you are afraid of large parties; they're just not that fun for you.
Reflective question: How do you like to spend your spare time?
"Mostly I like to read and write A LOT. My friends are already aware of that. And I love to edit pictures using Photoshop too! I've never went to a formal class before though. I learnt everything on my own, finding all the resources through the internet and links shared by my friends. It may take a longer time to learn this way, but I find it the most effective way of learning (when you learn on your own) and it stays in your head for a longer time! So yeah, this might sound like I prefer to do everything on my own. But think again, without all the interactions with my fellow friends, I might not get the useful links to all the needed resources! So IT DEPENDS."

Agreeableness

This trait refers to the way you express your opinions and manage relationships. Approximately 76% of respondents have a lower agreeableness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who people get along with easily. Your responses suggest that you would say you are considerate and friendly, and think that other people are generally honest and decent.
Reflective question: Is your co-operative preference ever taken advantage of by others?
"Not at all. Sometimes, I think. Not that I mind it that much. But I will do mind if they're starting to get out of line, as in asking TOO MUCH."

Neuroticism (Emotional stability)

This trait refers to the way you cope with, and respond to, life's demands. Approximately 38% of respondents have a lower neuroticism raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is calm and emotionally stable. Based on your responses, you come across as someone who is rarely bothered by things, and when they do get you down the feeling does not persist for very long.
Reflective question: When do your emotions (or lack of emotions) get in the way of good decision making?
"When there is a huge uncertainty standing in my way. It is not because I am afraid, but it's due to too much possibilities and too much choices to choose from. So I would prefer if the choices could be narrowed down, and the probability reduced. I'm a girl, thus I will feel much more SECURED."

JUNGIAN TYPOLOGY ESTIMATE

Research has found that the Big Five personality traits are significantly related to Jungian Typology (e.g. the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator). This is a popular alternative personality framework regularly used for personal development, in which Types are used rather than Traits. Based on your Big Five trait scores, your estimated Type is shown below (if you have already taken a Jungian Typology test and got a different result, this can be changed from the More Options section).

ISFJ

Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging

ISFJs are characterized above all by their desire to serve others, their 'need to be needed.' In extreme cases, this need is so strong that standard give-and-take relationships are deeply unsatisfying to them. ISFJs are interested in maintaining order and harmony in every aspect of their lives. They are steadfast and meticulous in handling their responsibilities. Although quiet, they are people-oriented and very observant. Not only do they remember details about others, but they observe and respect others' feelings. Friends and family are likely to describe them as thoughtful and trustworthy.

nukkie: I couldn't agree more. That is why I think that this test is very near to accurate~ ^_^

Based solely on your personality trait scores, the top three closest college major matches for your personality (out of 60 majors and "undecided") are:


#1 - BIOLOGY
#2 - PSYCHOLOGY
#3 - MEDICINE
#4 - SOCIOLOGY
#5 - GENERAL STUDIES
#6 - SECONDARY EDUCATION
#7 - ARCHITECTURE
#8 - CHEMISTRY
#9 - MUSIC EDUCATION
#10 - BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION


#23 - ACCOUNTING
#30 - FINANCE


Gosh! I've always wanted to study Psychology. Seriously! But yeah, not really recommended by my family due to various reasons. And oh please! >.< I'm really scared of cutting people's flesh so I've given up on #3 a LOOOONG time ago~ And look at my chosen course, its at #23 and #30! Now I don't think that this test is that much accurate~ loL! JK! ^_^
