A story of Time and Love =)

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all the others, including love.

One day it was announced to all the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. Hence, all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment. When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help.

Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, "Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?"
Richness answered, "I'm sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere."
Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel.
Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please."
"I can't help you", Vanity said, "You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat."
Next, Love saw Sadness passing by.
Love said, "Sadness, please let me go with you."
Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry, but, I just need to be alone now."
Then, Love saw Happiness.
Love cried out, " Happiness, please take me with you."
But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn't hear Love calling to him. Love began to cry.

Then, she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take you with me."
It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder.

Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that helped me?"
"It was Time", Knowledge answered.
"But why did Time help me when no one else would?", Love asked.

Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered,
"Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

Live each day to the fullest

Sitting on the steps, looking across the lake,
Wondering why, life at times, can seem great.
But in that second, it took me to just think,
My life could change, faster than a blink.

Is this a reason why we should always cherish?
Not knowing when loved ones may suddenly perish.
Living everyday, like it was our very last,
for our days could be very long or go by very fast

So I'll cherish and take nothing for granted,
not say things that shouldn't be chanted.
If this is the last day I have on this earth,
I accept my life, for what it's been worth.

Tomorrow isn't promised to young or old alike,
Today may be the last day I'm able to hold you tight.
Don't wait for tomorrow, do it all today,
If tomorrow never comes, you'll never regret a day.

Back in USM...

Wow! Time passed so quickly. In a blink of an eye, I'm already in my third year first sem. I'm already a third year student~! I can't believe it..It seems like it's just yesterday I entered USM and begin my university life. The memories felt so fresh...

It's been a week since I've returned to USM, Kubang Kerian. Life has been...hm.... pretty relaxing for the past few days. I've been watching movies and getting enough of sleep every day. I've watched "Ugly Truth" (my 2nd time), "Liar Liar", "The Holiday", "10,000 B.C" and "The Prestige (my 3rd time). Just so you know, "Ugly Truth" is hilarious, "The Holiday" is a heartwarming tale and "The Prestige" is superb...I just love that show...=) Well, I think the next movie I shall watch will be a horror movie... =D hehehe....

Well, this "relaxing" life will not last forever...According to my seniors, third year first sem will be like "heaven" and our second sem will be like "hell". Life will be extremely hectic during my next semester.. So, I shall just enjoy myself for the time being..relish this happy moment...as it will not last forever...

Other than watching movies, going for classes etc etc, I'm missing my family..I really missed my mummy....sigh...oh well..this is life.. gotta be strong!

Yup yup..you probably guessed it right..This is what I had for dinner today..

Me and my best friend

Dear, do you know that I couldn't stop my tears from falling when I read your message? I cried because I love you so much...

These lyrics are dedicated to you, my dearest best friend....

I always thought you were the best
I guess I always will.
I always felt that we were blessed,
And I feel that way, still.

Sometimes we took the hard road,
But we always saw it through.
If I had only one friend left,
I'd want it to be you.

Sometimes the world was on our side;
Sometimes it wasn't fair.
Sometimes it gave a helping hand;
Sometimes we didn't care.

'Cause when we were together,
It made the dream come true.
If I had only one friend left,
I'd want it to be you.

Someone who understands me,
And knows me inside out.
And helps keep me together,
And believes without a doubt,

That I could move a mountain:
Someone to tell it to.
If I had only one friend left,
I'd want it to be you.

'Cause when we were together,
It made the dream come true.
If I had only one friend left,
I'd want it to be you.

Someone who understands me,
And knows me inside out.
And helps keep me together,
And believes without a doubt,

That I could move a mountain:
Someone to tell it to.
If I had only one friend left,
I'd want it to be you.

(Music lyrics: 'One Friend')

I love you lots , dear...I'm sorry that my past actions inadvertantly left you feeling unappreciated..and same goes to your actions, which actually left me feeling the same way. But it's okay...We'll talk when you're back and free to talk k...In the meantime, have fun in your trip and take good care of yourself... =)

Guardian Portrait of the Protector (ISFJ)

It's been quite long ago since I last updated my blog..Therefore, today, I want to share something with you guys. =)

A few days ago, I randomly google searched 'personality test'. Guess what...what I came across was a website offering a free perosnality test which consist of 72 questions. It is called the 'Jung Typology Test'. According to the website :

After completing the questionnaire, you will obtain:

Your type formula according to Carl Jung and Isabel Briggs Myers typology along with the strengths of the preferences
The description of your personality type
The list of occupations and educational institutions where you can get relevant degree or training, most suitable for your personality type - Jung Career Indicator™

Well, I scrolled down and started answering the questions diligently. So, the results stated that I am an ISFJ person. So what doea it mean by ISFJ? Well, I know a little about it caused I did a different test before few years back but I think I got the same result. I stands for Introvert, S stands for Sensing, F stands for Feeling and J stands for Judging. Well, they stated the level of I, S, F and J but I couldn't remember what were the values.

So, I clicked on another link and it gave me a whole paragraph regarding my personality type.

Guardian Portrait of the Protector

We are lucky that Protectors make up as much as ten percent the population, because their primary interest is in the safety and security of those they care about - their family, their circle of friends, their students, their patients, their boss, their fellow-workers, or their employees. Protectors have an extraordinary sense of loyalty and responsibility in their makeup, and seem fulfilled in the degree they can shield others from the dirt and dangers of the world. Speculating and experimenting do not intrigue Protectors, who prefer to make do with time-honored and time-tested products and procedures rather than change to new. At work Protectors are seldom happy in situations where the rules are constantly changing, or where long-established ways of doing things are not respected. For their part, Protectors value tradition, both in the culture and in their family. Protectors believe deeply in the stability of social ranking conferred by birth, titles, offices, and credentials. And they cherish family history and enjoy caring for family property, from houses to heirlooms.

Wanting to be of service to others, Protectors find great satisfaction in assisting the downtrodden, and can deal with disability and neediness in others better than any other type. They are not as outgoing and talkative as the Provider Guardians [ESFJs], and their shyness is often misjudged as stiffness, even coldness, when in truth Protectors are warm-hearted and sympathetic, giving happily of themselves to those in need.

Their reserve ought really to be seen as an expression of their sincerity and seriousness of purpose. The most diligent of all the types, Protectors are willing to work long, hard hours quietly doing all the thankless jobs that others manage to avoid. Protectors are quite happy working alone; in fact, in positions of authority they may try to do everything themselves rather than direct others to get the job done. Thoroughness and frugality are also virtues for them. When Protectors undertake a task, they will complete it if humanly possible. They also know better than any other type the value of a dollar, and they abhor the squandering or misuse of money. To save, to put something aside against an unpredictable future, to prepare for emergencies-these are actions near and dear to the Protector's heart. For all these reasons, Protectors are frequently overworked, just as they are frequently misunderstood and undervalued. Their contributions, and also their economies, are often taken for granted, and they rarely get the gratitude they deserve.

So, what do you think? I think it's quite accurate...Two of my friends who took the test also said the same thing for their respective results. Curious to know your personality type? Well. here is the link of the website: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp
