Fire on an Oil Field

Today was Youth Games Day organised by the Chinese Youth Board of the Anglican Diocese. Suppose to be at AHS by 8.30am. So early. THkfully, Daniel got car and hitch-hiked. Reached there and was like pretty crowded. Our youths are competing in the Street Soccer and Captain's Ball! Started off with worship, followed by a message by a pastor. Den the game began with the street soccer. Pretty intensive. Only six teams particpated. We won every match and eventually we reached the final and we took the Champion. Well done boys and a girl (kuan ren)! Den next was Captain's Ball. Played 3 matches. Lost 2 and drew 1. SOunds bad and demoralising but honestly, the team did a great job considering we nvr had played together as a team. I managed to play the 3rd match which we eventually lost. I guess I was too over passionate for the game. I was becoming a bit worked up with every pass we lost and every shot the opposition score! And becoz I had a pretty good knowledge of playing Captain's Ball, I simply couldn't fit into the passive style our team was playing. Dun get me wrong. I'm not complaining that the team was playing lousy. I think it's very much me lah! I'm one person who can be very easy going with any and everything but sport. I'm way very serious when playing sports and it tends to make me very hostile. I guess I have to really learn to manage this aspects of my emotion. Passion with no control is like setting a fire on an oil field. It does nothing but destroy. I must learn to enjoy playing games at different level of competitiveness! So if in any way, i have been harsh or hostile to any of you have played with me, pls accept my sincerestt apologies. But den again, i think if we train for Captain's Ball rite, we shd be able to win the Trophy next year! SO are you all keen to employ me as the coach????

BIG 25

Actually it's not tat big lah! But den it sound more impressive with the word BIG! A quarter of a century. That's what i'm becoming this year. Really time flies! I still could vaguely remember the little details of my childhood, student life. But all these are HISTORY! Honestly, I nvr would have talk about this topic one. I was happily living my child-like life, enjoying companion of my frens over lunch and they pop this statement, "5 more years and you will be 30!" Hmmm! Sound pretty ok at first. But then it really starts to feel like salt rubbed into a hidden open wound. OUCCCCCHHHHHHH!!!!! Thks for reminding me man! I couldn't have been able to add 5 to 25 to get 30 if you nvr taught me! But then again, it kept me thinking. What do i really want to do? Many of my frens of my age have alreadi started working. Some have even got married and have started acquainted with the different brands of diapers and milk powder. It sounds mad and unbelievable. I'm happily enjoying my life like a kid at this part of the world while on the other side, people are alreadi experiencing parenthood! Haha! Maybe you think I'm writing this as a form of complaint or a form of depression speech. But honestly, i'm still very happy becoz I enjoyed my freedom as a single. All these years, as i look back on how i trouble over not having a stead, managing my moodswing, it may seem pathetic. But I'm glad that i was single becoz it is one of the best time of my life. Dun get me wrong. I'm not saying finding or having a partner isn't good. In fact, i believe 2 heads are better 1 as it will help to bring 2 people to worship God even more intimately. WHat i'm saying is that being single has its pros and purpose in life. But that's for you to find out yourself with God! I believe i'm ending my singlehood soon. (hint! hint!) Gonna miss it! SO those singles out there, dun worry but trust in the timing and plan of God, for every thing has its season!

LOVE PROFILE

Xj, your love type is:

That means you are more Extroverted than Introverted, Sensing than Intuitive, Thinking than Feeling, and more Judging than Perceiving.

(I)ntroversion/ (E)xtraversion: This dimension describes how you approach and interact with the world and how you typically direct your energy.

INTROVERSION 50%

EXTROVERSION 50%

Most times, people simply associate introverts with being shy and extraverts with being loud. These descriptions are not entirely correct because those two qualities are only part of what determines whether someone is an introvert or an extravert. For example, typically, to an extravert, the outside world represents both excitement and opportunity. Extraverts often think and perform better in front of others. Also, because an extravert's energy is often directed outwards, extroverts like being around people most of the time. Introverts, on the other hand, usually direct their energy inwards and often need alone time to replenish their energy stores.

When it comes to communication, introverts will tend to formulate their thoughts before they speak up. Extraverts will often think and talk at the same time, saying whatever comes into their heads. This more immediate approach makes extraverts spontaneous, but it can also get them into hot water. Socially, introverts prefer more intimate settings where they have the chance to get to know fewer people on a deeper basis. Extraverts typically feel that in social situations, the more the merrier. As mentioned above — not every introvert or extravert will display every trait tied to this dimension. In fact, people are apt to display a mix of traits.

I(N)tuition/ (S)ensing: This dimension demonstrates how people tend to process information

INTUITION 15%

SENSING 85%

What kinds of information do you naturally notice? That's the main question this scale answers. Sensors tend to focus on concrete information. Intuitives tend to focus on possibilities. By using their five senses to gather data, sensors trust what can be seen, heard, touched, tasted, or felt. By staying attuned to their five senses, sensors are also apt to focus on the present and to have great attention to detail. If you are looking for accurate information, ask a sensor.

Intuitives, on the other hand, are more imaginative types who tend to look for deeper, abstract meanings in the world around them. They do this by inferring things from the data that's in front of them. For example, when presented with information, intuitives usually enjoy pondering over implications of those facts and anticipating future consequences. Intuitives aren't often interested in details and tend to see the big picture of a situation faster than sensors.

(F)eeling/ (T)hinking: This dimension demonstrates how you make decisions.

FEELING 45%

THINKING 55%

The way each one of us makes decisions is influenced by whether we are primarily thinkers or feelers. Thinkers value analytical thinking and tend to be methodical and logical when evaluating their options. Thinkers pride themselves on being objective, rather than letting their subjective feelings or opinions enter into their decisions. Feelers often see thinkers as being somewhat cold. Feelers have a very different decision making process. Theirs takes into account how others will be affected alongside of the objective facts. By putting people's individual situations in the forefronts of their minds, feelers are more likely to make exceptions to rules than thinkers are. Feelers are highly empathic, and sometimes this bent can make them seem too emotional to thinkers.

(P)erceiving/ (J)udging: The last dimension describes whether you prefer closure or openness

PERCEIVING 35%

JUDGING 65%

The final dimension describes whether you prefer closure or openness in your life's situations. For instance, because of their high need for control, judgers like structure and order in the world around them. Judgers are typically organized people who focus on goals and accomplish what they set out to do.

On the other end of the spectrum are perceivers who usually prefer to experience the world spontaneously. Oftentimes a perceiver can't tell you their schedule from one day to the next because they don't know what's going to happen. Perceivers usually like keeping their options open and can pride themselves on adapting to whatever situation they confront. Judgers are most excited when they have finished a project. Perceivers tend to be most excited when a new endeavor begins.

MY LOVE TYPE:

Being an ESTJ, you can stand out from the crowd for all kinds of reasons. Among your unique qualities are strong determination and a sharp mind. Together, these traits often mean that an honest day's work isn't likely to strike fear into your heart. On the contrary, you're one who can truly appreciate commitment to a job well done. This steadfast nature usually carries over to your relationships as well; you're rarely one to run off because things have gotten tough. This is an admirable quality. You also are a fairly outgoing person and are energized by being around others

Your philosophy of relationships appears much like your work ethic. You're the kind who believes that what you put into a relationship is typically what you get back. Because of this no-nonsense approach, you aren't the type to overwhelm others with your warm and fuzzy ways. However, when people want to hear truth, they should knock on your door. No matter the topic, you're usually happy to tell it like it is. This said, you seem to find a balance between being honest and sparing others feelings. Perhaps you've learned that how you say things is often as important as what you say.

Before confronting someone about a problem, you'll usually use your head and think about all the angles before opening your mouth. You piece together information like a detective, carefully looking at the facts rather than letting your imagination run away with you. As a result, you're usually not the insecure type in a relationship because you aren't apt to jump to wild conclusions. When new people come into your life, they may find you a bit standoffish at first. However, given the chance over time, you will show them the depths of your generous heart and your impressive capacity for forgiveness.

What makes you a good partner and friend?
Your sincerity inspires others to be true to themselves
You are trustworthy and not prone to gossip
You know how to be sensitive to other people's feelings
You're not the kind to leave when the going gets tough

Your most compatible type

Because you're a Sensing Thinker (ST), you're someone who tends to be logical and more in tune with your rational side than your emotions. STs like you are known for having strong intellectual skills. Because of this mix of traits, you typically appreciate those who enjoy analytical thinking and the world of ideas as much as you do. As a result, you're most compatible with Intuitive Thinkers (NTs). NTs are intellectual in their own right but tend to excel at more creative, big picture thinking. This skill in coming up with great, innovative ideas can really inspire you. That's one reason an ST/NT pairing often results in a great meeting of the minds. There are four ST/NT matches for you: ENTJ, INTJ, ENTP, INTP.
