Life and How to survive it?

Do have a read on this. You might discover that all the while, we could have missed the most important things in our lives.

Enjoy!

Psychology Test

I have tried numerous tests like such, nevertheless, none of them provide me the accuracy which match with the self-examination which I have done to myself across the years. But, this one really got me awestruck. It practically matches, and evaluate me in a comprehensive and thorough way.

Scroll down...

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.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

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.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

乱笔·杂思

花瓣，
一片片，
滑过了空气的外壳，
缓缓地，
落在大道上。

徘徊的思绪，
不禁，
停住了片刻，欣赏，
那一秒的花落。

梦想，
一针一线，血泪交织，
蓦然回想那当初，
竟，
嘲笑年少的天真。

现实，
并非成功的欢呼，而是
失败的哀嚎，
所堆积。

望向，
那流水潺潺，
不知觉，
雨点停驻于脸庞。

原来，
秋天了；
原来，
下雨了，

春天还会远吗？
彩虹还会远吗？

无语。低头。默想。

Hope-Disappointment-Hope

It's funny that sometimes, when we hope that something will happen as we wished, it will just give u something u do not want; while when you seem to lose hope on certain things, u will be given something u have thrown it out of your mind.

As I hope that Sime Darby might be the torch which illuminates my way to overseas, this morning it cast me a long, dark shadow of disappointment. After being rejected by Khazanah, well, Sime Darby plays the same game.

I have been wondering, is the selection purely random? Or are there too many good applicants?
Or am I just not good enough?

Dear PHANG,

APPLICATION FOR THE POSITION OF Undergraduate Local and Overseas (Malaysian Applicant) ON Mar 18 2009

Thank you for your interest in the Yayasan Sime Darby Undergraduate Scholarship 2009.

Although your extra-curricular activities and qualifications are remarkable, the competition has been very keen and we regret to inform you that you have not been shortlisted for the scholarship interview.

Once again, we thank you for your time and effort and we wish you every
success in your future academic endeavours.

Yours faithfully,
Yayasan Sime Darby

A wonderfully-written email which just spells out the phrase, "sorry pal, u r just a thrash to us. Hope we don't meet again in near future."

This time, it is different from the previous post for Khazanah, in terms of the mood. No more resentment. No more anger. Just a tinge of disappointment, and self-doubt.

The dream to study overseas has once shone through the results and offers, and turned bleak with the scholarship applications. Maybe it's not time yet for me to weave the dream.

Realising the road towards the peak of dream is not a stroll down the garden, I know, life has provided me a road fulls of boulders and barriers, to test my determination and perseverance to climb the mountain of dream.

There is no easy way to success. Failure which can't beat u down, can only disappear as a gentle breeze, and make u stronger.

Today, I pen this down. I will remember the moment I got rejected. I know one day, I shall be able to stand proudly, cry victoriously, and smile thankfully.

Question:
What is the human being's funniest characteristic?


Ans:
Our contradictoriness. We are in such a hurry to grow up, and then we long for our lost childhood. We make ourselves ill earning money, and then spend all our money on getting well again. We think so much about the future that we neglect the present, and thus experience neither the present nor the future. We live as if we were never going to die, and die as if we had never lived.

April Fool. A great twist.

Rejected by Khazanah. No reasons given. Was told that the committee board is extremely selective. So far, only two Chinese are selected for the first-round interview.

And mind you, both of them are the top scorers (5As) in STPM 2008. They scored perfect flats in all papers. And one guy was even the top scorer for MUET.

So, perhaps I am just not good enough. Ha-ha.



And, just on the day which every university has to reply to UCAS, a long-awaited reply finally arrived. Thanks. =)



So, a great twist. Life always has a great turn at the corner, and brings an unexpected surprise.
