Unpeaceful neighbourhood....

I cant believe im living in a VERY un-peaceful neighborhood now. Know what??? The area around my house, in just about 2 weeks, more than 10 cases of everything like theft (thief?), brawl, fighting, smuggling, break in has been reported... Some even was in the newspaper... Like the smuggling report in Xinmin Newspaper on Wednesday 28/3/07... Or in the news... Like the "murder" somewhere on the same day. Now police officers can be seen in the carpark almost everytime.

So a little note to everyone living in Jalan Bukit Merah, Silat, Kampong Bahru, especially those living around by the railway track along the area... Be more careful ar... Wonder why i said along the railway? Cos that thief seems to run towards the railway track alot... Thick bushes and tall untrimmed trees there mah. Excellent hiding place.

Well... lemme see... See what can i recall. More than a 3 weeks ago, there is some brawl at the carpark near my opposite blk. Police came. And the next day, another brawl at my blk... Zzz... Den... Some fighting near the Tai-san coffeeshop... Den for a continuous 6 7 days ago, theft was reported almost everyday... Mostly at blk 138, 137, 142... Those by the railway track... The Temple beside Tai-San coffeeshop had a break-in a few days ago, more than 3 time summaw. Wadever... Its more than that!

Sounds scary? Guess its done by the same person. So... For people living around here, especially Adam, Yonghuan, Stephanie... Be more careful ar. Dun stay till late late outside... Try not to carry bag...

Duno why i feel myself so auntie suddenly.

Life and death...

Finally there are some 24 hours that im free of disasters... I hope those bad days are gone now~ Touch wood la... Lucky there wasnt any life and death situation... But den... there is a number of times that happened before liao leh...

I remember there is one time i was so close. I was still a primary school kid when that happened. I walking walking by a river when i tripped, slipped, wadever it is, for i only know i fell, right on to those rocks by the river sloping down into the river. And im sure ur know there will be those algae on the rocks that is so very slippery rite? i landed on those rocks in a sitting position and continue to slide down over those algaes. Very luckily that time it was low tide, and there is a flat point on those rocks just by the water, i managed to stop myself there and crawl my way up, unhurt. Imagine what if it was high tide that time and there is no "flat" points to stop me... My mum knows about it too... but i doubt she knows how close it was... For she only knows i fell.

There is another time, even before the one i said above... my whole family knows about it, including my uncle and aunties... It was in... ermm... i think its... a resort? Like Costa Sands or Downtown East? I forgot liao... There was those slides in swimming pool... I slide down and sink into the water immediately... I cant seem to remember much liao... but i remember there is someone pull me out of the water. I dun even know it was so serious until my mum tell me about it...

One more... It was in Bukit Merah Swimming Complex, which is now closed... I jumped into the deep pool and could not resurface. =X Luckily my sis and her friend was present, and they got me out of water...

Actually hor, i did not realised its all somehow related to water until i type this post... Guess i should not touch water so much huh!!! And yet im such a water lover. I enjoy spending the entire day in the sea, in the pool, by the sea, by the river. I also enjoy rainy days... What does that mean?? After reading my sis's latest entry, it suddenly came to me that maybe my past life or death have got to do with water. Am i a fish in the past life? Hah! Even my nick has got to do with fishes... What ya think? Or am i a animal, or person that was drowned in the past life? Well? Nobody knows...

back to blog

Hurhur... BACK TO BLOG...

Went to... Junction 8, Central, Plaza Singapura, Vivocity, Esplanade on Monday!! Wootx! 5 shopping (Well not really) centres (Cos Esplanade is not!) in a day... In a amazing only 7 hours. Thats will spread about only 1 hour plus per shopping centre. Spent the most time in Vivo's Pet Safari...

On one particular Saturday, is there another earthquake?? Think its 10 March... I was in vivo with my mum... and on the way home... something REALLY weird happened... ok... this is wad happened... You all know there is a linkway linking Harbourfront Centre with Harbourfront Tower 1 (Or wadever that tower is...) rite? Went i was going home with my mum, we were walking on the linkway... A skinny person suddenly ran past. And immediately after that, both my mum and i felt strong shakings on the linkway. On it was only me and my mum (also weird.. cos usually the linkway is usually crowded) , excluding the person that run past... Weird. Den i tot its an earthquake. But i dun think so. Cos news did not say. Den my mum think its the person running past. But again its definitely not!! Cos the linkway is even stronger than a normal overhead bridge! Unless the linkway is damn weak la. But its again impossible! Thousands of people walk past that linkway daily and no one felt any shakings? Can anyone help me to solve this mystery? Muahaha!! The more i think of it, the more mysterious it gets! Zzz....

Ok... And yesterday i got back my results. Amazed am i... Heres wad i got...
Basic Conversational Japanese - C
Fundamentals of Marketing - C
Fundamentals of Network Security - B
Internetworking - B
Internetworking Project Design - B+
Voice Convergence Networks - C+
GPA - 2.76
I amazed by those "C" modules. Especially for FOM... Can you imagine a late assignment, 2 failed tests, my poor presentation and strong classmates can get me a C?? Im expecting a D manx! Ok lah... BCJ too... I failed so badly for the last test and yet managed to get a C... Good good... Lastly the VCN... Thank goodness i had done well for the previous assignment and common test, if not this will definitely be a F... Interestingly, cos that time i was calculating the marks... no matter how i calculate, my marks keep falling under the range of 40 to 48... Yet... Woo~ Ok la.. thanks to all my lecturers and friends who had helped me in anyway!! Especially Xinyi, Christina for my FOM, Andrea, Lystra, Joanna, Regina for my BCJ, Atiqah, Priya, Kok Hoe for my VCN and FNS, Hafiz for my IPD, Xinli for my IN4!!! Thanks ar... thank you thank you thank you!!

Hmm... So have ur noticed something different in my blog now? Actually i was thinking of changing a new skin... new address... for my blog... And for the reason why i wanna temporary stop is because of that!!! Cos when i come in, i WILL wanna blog, thus i got no time in template! LOL!!! And hor, in my MSN nick... Aiyoyo... IT HAS NUTTIN TO DO WITH MY BLOG LAHX!!! My msn de nick is there to bai sui nia! Run out of nick mahx! But indeed, i was in a rather moody mood nowadays... Partly because of the stupid vacations, the IAP thingy... And yea... I need time to be alone. I enjoy to be alone... (Alone == Isolation) And my sudden drop in checking into MSN is due to the fact that my MSN tends to lag my whole computer... As for the previous posts, the one that "How people thinks of me" and the MBTI tests are actually not related... Its just due to some coincidence that my sis had done the test in her workplace on the same day i type the first one and shared with me thats why i ended up having so many posts about me... Den when i read those stuffs, it somehow turns out to be so accurate...

Ok lah! i find myself very not me suddenly... outta here!

----------------------

I dun think that anyone had read the previous post rite... So ya... I shall just point out what i think is very true about that test on ISFPs... If possible you might want to read thru to the end of these pointers... Especially those in red.
  • They value creativity and spirituality.
  • Very sensitive and easily hurt by rejection and harshness, they are sometimes drawn to turn their love towards creatures who will love them back unconditionally, such as animals and small chlidren.
  • They believe heartily in an individual's right to be themself without being judged harshly for who they are.
  • They will find great satisfaction if they encourage and develop their artistic abilities.
  • They believe that an individual has the right to be themself, without having their attitudes and perspectives brought under scrutiny. Accordingly, they have a great deal of tolerance and acceptance dealing with people who might encounter negative judgment from society in general.
  • They can see something positive in everyone.
  • ISFPs live for the current day, and have an ability to enjoy the present moment without stressing out about the future or the past.
  • May perceive criticism where none was intended
  • May be extremely sensitive to any kind of criticism
  • May blame their problems on other people, seeing themselves as victims who are treated unfairly
  • May have great anger, and show this anger with rash outpourings of bad temper
  • May be oblivious to their personal appearance, or to appropriate dress
  • May feel overwhelmed with tension and stress when someone expresses disagreement with the ISFP, or disapproval of the ISFP
  • May develop strong judgments that are difficult to unseed against people who they perceive have been oppressive or suppressive to them
  • If an ISFP's personal value system is threatened by external influences, the ISFP shuts out the threatening data in order to preserve and honor their value system.
  • They have a strong aesthetic appreciation for art
  • ISFPs tend to be quiet and reserved, and difficult to get to know well. They hold back their ideas and opinions except from those who they are closest to
  • They're likely to be animal lovers, and to have a true appreciation for the beauties of nature.
  • They learn best in a "hands-on" environment, and consequently may become easily bored with the traditional teaching methods, which emphasize abstract thinking.
  • ISFPs are extremely perceptive and aware of others. They constantly gather specific information about people, and seek to discover what it means. They are usually penetratingly accurate in their perceptions of others.
  • ISFPs have no desire to lead or control others, just as they have no desire to be led or controlled by others. They need space and time alone to evaluate the circumstances of their life against their value system, and are likely to respect other people's needs for the same.
  • Enjoy a slower pace - they like to take time to savor the present moment
  • Take things seriously, although they frequently appear not to
  • Special bond with children and animals
  • Quiet and reserved, except with people they know extremely well
  • Hate being confined to strict schedules and regimens
  • Need space and freedom to do things their own way
  • Dislike mundane, routine tasks, but will perform them if necessary

  • Not good at long-range financial (or other) planning
  • Usually optimistic
  • Extreme dislike of conflict and criticism
  • Focused on enjoying the present moment, they may appear lazy or slow-moving at times
  • Need to have their own space, and dislike having it invaded
  • ISFPs are warm and giving people, who have a depth of emotion and caring which is not often obvious to others, except those who know them extremely well.
  • Although they may appear to be light-hearted, they are in fact extremely serious, and take their relationships seriously.
  • ISFPs may have a problem with communication
  • They tend to hold back part of themselves from others, and do not always say what they think or feel. This is especially true during conflict situations, which the ISFP abhors more than anything in the world.
  • The greatest gift their partners can give them is the expression of their affection and admiration.
  • ISFPs love to have fun, and live in the current moment. All ISFPs have a bit of little kid inside themselves, and they love to play games alongside their children. They're special affinity towards nature and animals makes them likely to lead their children in fun outdoors activities.
  • The gentle manner and kind heart of the ISFP makes it hard for them to make others unhappy
  • They tend to be reserved around those they don't know well.
  • The ISFP is not likely to have much patience or tolerance for those who are strongly Judging. ISFPs celebrate their own uniqueness, as well as everybody else's, and don't appreciate being judged harshly for their differences.
  • In work settings, the ISFP is likely to get along with most everyone, unless someone inhabits their space too much, in which case sparks may fly. Generally, the ISFP is kind-hearted and generous with those they care about, and makes a true-blue friend

My MBTI Personality Test

This is the result of my MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®) personality test. And den i found the results vvery accurate wor. So it turns out to be a ISFP (Introverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving) or "An Artist" What you think? Accurrate? The following is directly copied out and pasted here without editing... So it may be EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXTREMELY long... Feel free to skip the turquoise part of the entry if u hate reading. HAHAHA!!! Just that part is more than half the page down and i took me quite a while to finish reading...

ISFP In Personal...

What does Success mean to an ISFP?

ISFPs are creative, sensitive souls with a great capacity for love. They seek harmony, validation, and affection in their relationships with others. They value creativity and spirituality. Very sensitive and easily hurt by rejection and harshness, they are sometimes drawn to turn their love towards creatures who will love them back unconditionally, such as animals and small chlidren. They believe heartily in unconditional love, and in an individual's right to be themself without being judged harshly for who they are. Of all of the types, the ISFP is most likely to believe that "Love is the answer." For the ISFP, personal success depends upon the condition of their closest relationships, their aesthetic environment and the development of their artistic creativity, their spiritual development, and how much they feel valued and accepted for their individual contributions.

Allowing Your ISFP Strengths to Flourish

As an ISFP, you have gifts that are specific to your personality type that aren't natural strengths for other types. By recognizing your special gifts and encouraging their growth and development, you will more readily see your place in the world, and how you can better use your talents to achieve your dreams.

Nearly all ISFPs will recognize the following characteristics in themselves. They should embrace and nourish these strengths:

* Highly creative, artistic and spiritual, they can produce wonderful works of art, music and literature. ISFPs are natural artists. They will find great satisfaction if they encourage and develop their artistic abilities. That doesn't mean that an ISFP has to be a famous writer or painter in order to be content. Simply the act of "creating" will be a fulfilling source of renewal and refreshment to the ISFP. An ISFP should allow himself or herself some artistic outlet, because it will add enrichment and positive energy to their life.
* They're more spiritually aware than most people, and are more in touch with their soul than others. Most ISFPs have strong Faith. Those that don't may feel as if they're missing something important. An ISFP should nourish their faith.
* ISFPs have an extremely well-developed ability to appreciate aesthetic qualities. They're usually very aware of their environment, and can easily see what works well and what doesn't from an aesthetic perspective. If they allow this strength to flourish, they're likely to be stylish dressers who live in a home that's aesthetically pleasing.
* ISFPs have passionate and intense feelings.
* ISFPs are very quick-witted and spatial in their thinking. If they have the desire, they can be very good at individual sports like golf, skiing, biking, etc., because they're extremely observant and have quick reactions.
* They're usually good listeners who genuinely want to hear about someone's problems, and genuinely want to help them. This makes them outstanding counsellors, and good friends. An ISFP may find great satisfaction from volunteering as a counselor.
* They accept and value people as individuals, and are strongly egalitarian. They believe that an individual has the right to be themself, without having their attitudes and perspectives brought under scrutiny. Accordingly, they have a great deal of tolerance and acceptance dealing with people who might encounter negative judgment from society in general. They can see something positive in everyone. They believe in individuals. If they give themselves the opportunity, an ISFP can become a much-needed source of self-esteem and confidence for people who cannot find it on their own. In this way, they can nurture a "sick soul" back to health.
* Practical and detail-oriented, ISFPs are great at handling the details of a project.
* ISFPs live for the current day, and have an ability to enjoy the present moment without stressing out about the future or the past.
* They have a good ability to concentrate and focus. Accordingly, they can do well in school if they set their mind to it.

ISFPs who have developed their Extraverted Sensing to the extent that they can perceive the world about them objectively and quickly will find that they enjoy these very special gifts:

* Their strongly passionate nature combined with their natural sense of aesthetic beauty may make them gifted artists (such as Picasso, or Barbra Streisand, both reportedly ISFPs).
* Their awareness of what's going on around them combined with their great capacity to love will make them outstanding parents and caregivers.
* They will quickly identify the opportunities of a situation, and quickly act to take advantage of them. They will find that they're able to do anything that they put their mind to, although they may not find it personally satisfying. Things may seem to come easily to these ISFPs. Although they're able to conquer many different kinds of tasks and situations, these ISFPs will be happiest doing something that seems truly important to them. Although they may find that they can achieve the "mainstream" type of success with relative ease, they are not likely to find happiness along that path, unless they have especially rich and rewarding personal relationships.
* The ISFP who augments their strong, internal value system (Introverted Feeling) with a well-developed ability to recognize opportunities (Extraverted Sensing) can be a powerful force for social change.

Potential Problem Areas

With any gift of strength, there is an associated weakness. Without "bad", there would be no "good". Without "difficult", there would be no "easy". We value our strengths, but we often curse and ignore our weaknesses. To grow as a person and get what we want out of life, we must not only capitalize upon our strengths, but also face our weaknesses and deal with them. That means taking a hard look at our personality type's potential problem areas.

ISFPs are kind and creative beings with many special gifts. I would like for the ISFP to keep in mind some of the many positive things associated with being an ISFP as they read some of this more negative material. Also remember that the weaknesses associated with being an ISFP are natural to your type. Although it may be depressing to read about your type's weaknesses, please remember that we offer this information to enact positive change. We want people to grow into their own potential, and to live happy and successful lives.

Most of the weaker characteristics that are found in ISFPs are due to their dominant Feeling function overshadowing the rest of their personality. When the dominant function of Introverted Feeling overshadows everything else, the ISFP can't use Extraverted Sensing to take in information in a truly objective fashion. In such cases, an ISFP may show some or all of the following weaknesses in varying degrees:

* May be extremely sensitive to any kind of criticism
* May be unable to see the opportunities inherent to a situation
* May perceive criticism where none was intended
* May have skewed or unrealistic ideas about reality
* May be unable to acknowledge or hear anything that goes against their personal ideas and opinions
* May blame their problems on other people, seeing themselves as victims who are treated unfairly
* May have great anger, and show this anger with rash outpourings of bad temper
* May be unaware of appropriate social behavior
* May be oblivious to their personal appearance, or to appropriate dress
* May come across as eccentric, or perhaps even generally strange to others, without being aware of it
* May be unable to see or understand anyone else's point of view
* May value their own opinions and feelings far above others
* May be unaware of how their behavior affects others
* May be oblivious to other people's need
* May feel overwhelmed with tension and stress when someone expresses disagreement with the ISFP, or disapproval of the ISFP
* May develop strong judgments that are difficult to unseed against people who they perceive have been oppressive or suppressive to them
* Under great stress, may feel out of control and fearful, dwelling on the "dark side" of things

Explanation of Problems

Nearly all of the problematic characteristics described above can be attributed in various degrees to the common ISFP problem of only taking in data that justifies their personal opinions. ISFPs are usually very intense and sensitive people, and feel seriously threatened by criticism. They are likely to treat any point of view other than their own as criticism of their own perspective. If the ISFP does not learn how to deal with this perceived criticism, the ISFP will begin to shut out the incoming information that causes them pain. This is a natural survivalistic technique for the ISFP personality. The main driver to the ISFP personality is Introverted Feeling, whose purpose is to maintain and honor an intensely personal system of values and morals. If an ISFP's personal value system is threatened by external influences, the ISFP shuts out the threatening data in order to preserve and honor their value system. This is totally natural, and works well to protect the individual psyche from getting hurt. However, the ISFP who exercises this type of self-protection regularly will become more and more unaware of other people's perspectives, and thus more and more isolated from a real understanding of the world that they live in. They will always find justification for their own inappropriate behaviors, and will always find fault with the external world for problems that they have in their lives. It will be difficult for them to maintain close personal relationships because they will have unreasonable expectations, and will be unable to accept blame.

Its not an uncommon tendency for the ISFP to look to the external world primarily for information that will support their ideas and values. However, if this tendency is given free reign, the resulting ISFP personality is too self-centered to be happy or successful. Since the ISFP's dominant function to their personality is Introverted Feeling, they must balance this with an auxiliary Extraverted Sensing function. The ISFP takes in information via Extraverted Sensing. This is also the ISFP's primary way of dealing with the external world. If the ISFP uses Extraverted Sensing only to serve the purposes of Introverted Feeling, then the ISFP is not using Extraversion effectively at all. As a result, the ISFP does not take in enough information about the external world to have a good sense of what's going on. They see nothing but their own perspective, and deal with the world only so far as they need to in order to support their perspective. These individuals usually come across as selfish and unrealistic. Depending on how serious the problem is, they may appear to be anything from "a bit eccentric" to "way out there". Many times other people are unable to understand or relate to these people.

To grow as an individual, the ISFP needs to focus on opening their perspective to include a more accurate picture of what is really going on in the world. In order to be in a position in which the ISFP is able to perceive and consider data that is foreign to their internal value system, the ISFP needs to know that its value system is not threatened by the new information. The ISFP must consciously tell himself/herself that an opinion that does not concede with their own is not an indictment of their entire character.

The ISFP who is concerned with personal growth will pay close attention to their motivation for taking in information. Do they take in information to better understand a situation or concept? Or, do they take in information to support a personal idea or cause? At the moment when something is perceived, is the ISFP concerned with twisting that perception to fit in with their personal values? Or is she/he concerned with absorbing the information objectively? To achieve a better understanding of the external world, the ISFP should try to perceive information objectively, before fitting it into their value system. They should consciously be aware of their tendency to discard anything that doesn't agree with their values, and work towards lessening this tendency. They should try to see situations from other people's perspectives, without making personal judgments about the situations or the other people's perspectives. In general, they should work on exercising their Sensing in a truly Extraverted sense. In other words, they should use Sensing to take in information about the world around them for the sake of understanding the world, rather than take in information to support their own conclusions. The ISFP who successfully perceives things objectively may be quite a powerful force for positive change.

Living Happily in our World as an ISFP

Some ISFPs have difficulty fitting into our society. Their problems are often a result of an unawareness of appropriate social behavior, an unawareness of how they come across to others, or unrealistic expectations of others. Any one of these three issues stem from using Extraverted Sensing in a diminished manner. An ISFP who takes in information for the sake of understanding the world around them, rather than one who takes in information only to support their own ideas, will have a clearer, more objective understanding of how society values social behaviors and attitudes. He or she will also be more aware of how they are perceived by others, and will have more realistic expectations for others' behavior within a relationship. Such well-adjusted ISFPs will fit happily into our society.

Unless you really understand Psychological Type and the nuances of the various personality functions, it's a difficult task to suddenly start to use Sensing in an Extraverted direction. It's difficult to even understand what that means, much less to incorporate that directive into your life. With that in mind, I am providing some specific suggestions that may help you to begin exercising your Extraverted Sensing more fully:

* Take care to notice what people look like in different social situations. Look at their hair, their skin, their makeup (or lack thereof), their clothes, the condition of their clothes, their shoes, their facial expressions. Don't compare others to your own appearance, or pass judgment on their appearance, simply take in the information.
* Think of a situation in your life in which you weren't sure how to behave. Now try to understand how one or two other people would see the situation. Don't compare their behavior to your own, i.e. "she would know better than me what to do", or "why is it so easy for her, but so hard for me". Rather, try to understand how they would see the situation. Would it be seen as a problem, or as an opportunity? Would it be taken seriously or lightly? Try to determine their point of view without passing judgment or comparing it to your own.
* When having a conversation with a friend or relative, dedicate at least half of your time to talking about the other person. Concentrate on really understanding where that person is coming from with their concerns. Ask questions.
* Think of the people who are closest to you. As you think of each person, tell yourself "this person has their own life going on, and they are more concerned with their own life than they are with mine." Remember that this doesn't mean that they don't care about you. It's the natural order of things. Try to visualize what that person is doing right now. What things are they encountering, what thoughts are they having? Don't pass judgment, or compare their situation to your own.
* Try to identify the personality type of everyone that you come into contact with for any length of time.

Portrait of an ISFP...

As an ISFP, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your value system. Your secondary mode is external, where you take things in via your five sense in a literal, concrete fashion.

ISFPs live in the world of sensation possibilities. They are keenly in tune with the way things look, taste, sound, feel and smell. They have a strong aesthetic appreciation for art, and are likely to be artists in some form, because they are unusually gifted at creating and composing things which will strongly affect the senses. They have a strong set of values, which they strive to consistently meet in their lives. They need to feel as if they're living their lives in accordance with what they feel is right, and will rebel against anything which conflicts with that goal. They're likely to choose jobs and careers which allow them the freedom of working towards the realization of their value-oriented personal goals.

ISFPs tend to be quiet and reserved, and difficult to get to know well. They hold back their ideas and opinions except from those who they are closest to. They are likely to be kind, gentle and sensitive in their dealings with others. They are interested in contributing to people's sense of well-being and happiness, and will put a great deal of effort and energy into tasks which they believe in.

ISFPs have a strong affinity for aesthetics and beauty. They're likely to be animal lovers, and to have a true appreciation for the beauties of nature. They're original and independent, and need to have personal space. They value people who take the time to understand the ISFP, and who support the ISFP in pursuing their goals in their own, unique way. People who don't know them well may see their unique way of life as a sign of carefree light-heartedness, but the ISFP actually takes life very seriously, constantly gathering specific information and shifting it through their value systems, in search for clarification and underlying meaning.

ISFPs are action-oriented individuals. They are "doers", and are usually uncomfortable with theorizing concepts and ideas, unless they see a practical application. They learn best in a "hands-on" environment, and consequently may become easily bored with the traditional teaching methods, which emphasize abstract thinking. They do not like impersonal analysis, and are uncomfortable with the idea of making decisions based strictly on logic. Their strong value systems demand that decisions are evaluated against their subjective beliefs, rather than against some objective rules or laws.

ISFPs are extremely perceptive and aware of others. They constantly gather specific information about people, and seek to discover what it means. They are usually penetratingly accurate in their perceptions of others.

ISFPs are warm and sympathetic. They genuinely care about people, and are strongly service-oriented in their desire to please. They have an unusually deep well of caring for those who are close to them, and are likely to show their love through actions, rather than words.

ISFPs have no desire to lead or control others, just as they have no desire to be led or controlled by others. They need space and time alone to evaluate the circumstances of their life against their value system, and are likely to respect other people's needs for the same.

The ISFP is likely to not give themself enough credit for the things which they do extremely well. Their strong value systems can lead them to be intensely perfectionist, and cause them to judge themselves with unneccesary harshness.

The ISFP has many special gifts for the world, especially in the areas of creating artistic sensation, and selflessly serving others. Life is not likely to be extremely easy for the ISFP, because they take life so seriously, but they have the tools to make their lives and the lives of those close to them richly rewarding experiences.

Careers for ISFP Personality Types...

Whether you're a young adult trying to find your place in the world, or a not-so-young adult trying to find out if you're moving along the right path, it's important to understand yourself and the personality traits which will impact your likeliness to succeed or fail at various careers. It's equally important to understand what is really important to you. When armed with an understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, and an awareness of what you truly value, you are in an excellent position to pick a career which you will find rewarding.

ISFPs generally have the following traits:

* Keen awareness of their environment
* Live in the present moment
* Enjoy a slower pace - they like to take time to savor the present moment
* Dislike dealing with theory or abstract thought, unless they see a practical application
* Faithful and loyal to people and ideas which are important to them
* Individualistic, having no desire to lead or follow
* Take things seriously, although they frequently appear not to
* Special bond with children and animals
* Quiet and reserved, except with people they know extremely well
* Trusting, sensitive, and kind
* Service-oriented; they're driven to help others
* Extremely well-developed appreciation for aesthetic beauty
* Likely to be original and unconventional
* Learn best with hands-on training
* Hate being confined to strict schedules and regimens
* Need space and freedom to do things their own way
* Dislike mundane, routine tasks, but will perform them if necessary

The ISFP is a very special individual who needs to have a career which is more than a job. The middle of the road is not likely to be a place where they will be fulfilled and happy. They need to have a career which is consistent with their strong core of inner values. Since they prefer to live in the current moment, and take the time to savor it, they do not do well with some of the more fast-paced corporate environments. They need a great deal of space and freedom if they are going to function in their natural realm of acute sensory awareness. If they give free reign to their natural abilities, they may find a wonderful artist within themselves. Almost every major artist in the world has been an ISFP. Since the ISFP is so acutely aware of people's feelings and reactions, and is driven by their inner values to help people, the ISFP is also a natural counselor and teacher.

The following list of professions is built on our impressions of careers which would be especially suitable for an ISFP. It is meant to be a starting place, rather than an exhaustive list. There are no guarantees that any or all of the careers listed here would be appropriate for you, or that your best career match is among those listed.

Possible Career Paths for the ISFP:

* Artist
* Musician / Composer
* Designer
* Child Care / Early Childhood Development
* Social Worker / Counselor
* Teacher
* Psychologist
* Veterinarian
* Forest Ranger
* Pediatrician

ISFP Relationships...

ISFPs are warmhearted, gentle people who take their commitments seriously, and seek lifelong relationships. They are very private people, who keep their true feelings and opinions reserved or hidden from others. This may cause them to constantly defer to their mates in their intimate relationships, which may cause problems if their mates are not extremely aware of the ISFP's feelings. Some ISFPs who are in the habit of not expressing their needs and feelings find themselves in situations throughout their life where they feel overshadowed, overlooked, or even "tread upon" by others. Highly practical and cynical by nature, these feelings may cause the ISFP to become bitter, and to either give up on their relationships, or to start using their relationships for their own personal gain. Although this problem is observed sometimes in the ISFP type, it does not seem to be present in those ISFPs who consistently express their feelings to those closest to them. These ISFPs have a very positive, warm outlook on life and love, and are not as likely to find themselves in relationships where they are taken for granted or taken advantage of. ISFPs go to great lengths to please their partners. They're very loyal and supportive, with a deep capacity for love. They detest conflict and discord, and highly value being seen and understood for who they are. They need space to live their lives in their own unique way, and will respect other's need for space.

ISFP Strengths...

* Warm, friendly and affirming by nature
* Usually optimistic
* Good listeners
* Good at dealing with practical day-to-day concerns
* Flexible and laid-back, usually willing to defer to their mates
* Their love of aesthetic beauty and appreciation for function makes them likely to have attractive, functional homes
* Take their commitments seriously, and seek lifelong relationships
* Likely to value and respect other's personal space
* Likely to enjoy showing their affection through acts and deeds
* Sensuous and earthy

ISFP Weaknesses...

* Not good at long-range financial (or other) planning
* Extreme dislike of conflict and criticism
* Focused on enjoying the present moment, they may appear lazy or slow-moving at times
* Need to have their own space, and dislike having it invaded
* May be slow to show their affection with words
* Tendency to hold back their thoughts and feelings, unless drawn out
* May become overly cynical and practical

ISFPs as Lovers...

ISFPs are warm and giving people, who have a depth of emotion and caring which is not often obvious to others, except those who know them extremely well. They are usually intense people, who experience their emotions on an intense level. Although they may appear to be light-hearted, they are in fact extremely serious, and take their relationships seriously. Unlike other SP types, people with the ISFP type desire and seek lifelong, committed relationships.

ISFPs may have a problem with communication. With Introverted Feeling dominating their personality, they are more vulnerable then most to being hurt. Perhaps because of this, they tend to hold back part of themselves from others, and do not always say what they think or feel. This is especially true during conflict situations, which the ISFP abhors more than anything in the world. Confrontations and arguments are very difficult for the ISFP to deal with. They feel personally threatened in these situations. If the ISFP falls into the habit of not communicating their feelings with their partner, this could cause serious problems in the relationship over the long haul.

Sexually, the ISFP approaches intimacy with complete attention, seriousness and depth. They experience lovemaking through their senses, and welcome the chance to interact with their mate at this level. They are not likely to express their feelings verbally, believing that actions speak louder than words.

ISFPs need positive affirmation to be happy and feel good about themselves. They need to be praised, although they are usually uncomfortable with "gushy" praise. The greatest gift their partners can give them is the expression of their affection and admiration.

Although two well-developed individuals of any type can enjoy a healthy relationship, the ISFP's natural partner is the ESFJ, or the ENFJ. ISFP's dominant function of Introverted Feeling is best matched with a partner whose dominant function is Extraverted Feeling. The ISFP/ESFJ combination is ideal, because the types share Sensing as their way of perceiving the world, but ISFP/ENFJ is also a good match

ISFPs as Parents...

ISFPs enjoy their parenting role, and take great pride and comfort in their children. Most have a special affinity with babies and young children, and form bonds with their children when they are very young. They are very laid-back parents, and are not likely to have highly defined expectations of their children. They will gently guide their behavior, and suggest a particular direction, but their own respect of the individual psyche will cause them to be quite easy-going and non-demanding as parents. The ISFP is likely to treat their children as individuals, and encourage them to have their own role in the family.

ISFPs love to have fun, and live in the current moment. All ISFPs have a bit of little kid inside themselves, and they love to play games alongside their children. They're special affinity towards nature and animals makes them likely to lead their children in fun outdoors activities.

ISFPs are not likely to provide a very structured environment for their children. They are also likely to have a problem with disciplining or punishing their kids. The gentle manner and kind heart of the ISFP makes it hard for them to make others unhappy - especially their own children. However, structure and discipline are important for growing children. If the other parent encourages and promotes structure, and is able to administer discipline when necessary, the parent combination may work very well without there being an obvious lack of structure. However, if the other parent is also not strong with structure or discipline, this is an area which needs to have special attention. Growing children do not have the experience to decide on their own the difference between Right and Wrong. They need to have barriers set down in a tangible way, to help them decide.

ISFPs like to show their love in deeds rather than words, which is manifested in their doing a lot for their children. They may lavish them with gifts on Christmas day, or go out of their way to do special things for them.

The ISFP is a service-oriented person, who defines their personal worth in some part by how happy they make others. This is typical of people with the Feeling preference. The special potential problem that ISFPs face is their service-oriented attitude combined with their habit of not expressing their own needs and feelings. This combination causes some ISFPs to get taken for granted. If this happens frequently to an ISFP, they may become bitter and angry. They think of themselves as victims, and may erect barriers to keep out those who have hurt them. This may be a serious problem if the ISFP parent feels that their children are taking them for granted. The best defense against such a situation occuring is for the ISFP to get into the habit of verbalizing and communicating their needs.

ISFP parents will be loyal, dedicated and self-sacrificing to their children until they leave home. When the kids have left the nest, the ISFP will enjoy their time alone to do things for themself. If the ISFP has not allowed themselves to become victims or victimizers in their life, they will be very good parents, and will be remembered fondly and affectionately by their children.

ISFPs as Friends...

ISFPs are able to get along with most of the other personality types, although they tend to be reserved around those they don't know well. They will enjoy spending time with others who share their interests, and who understand and accept the ISFP for who they are. They greatly value their space and autonomy, and appreciate other's respect for that.

The ISFP is not likely to have much patience or tolerance for those who are strongly Judging. ISFPs celebrate their own uniqueness, as well as everybody else's, and don't appreciate being judged harshly for their differences.

In work settings, the ISFP is likely to get along with most everyone, unless someone inhabits their space too much, in which case sparks may fly. Generally, the ISFP is kind-hearted and generous with those they care about, and makes a true-blue friend.

Hate it!

AGGHH!! The most hated period of a school semester in my poly life is here!!! THE BLOODY VACATIONS... Zzz....

You may wonder... Vacation has longed started way back from before CNY... Why am i only toking about it now? Reason: The freaking IAP... I spent so many days to wait for the posting... and yet, till now i had yet to receive it!!! So... maybe that stupid ngee ann poly has to give us (and when i mean us, it meant those people who should receive the idiotic posting and had not received it yet) a explanation... They owe us an explanation... Hmph!

So i guess since i did not receive it, there are some possible reasons...
1) Failed one or more of those tiring modules.
2) Shifted my IAP to 3.2...
3) Email was sent, but did not receive the posting.
4) Late?

Most people said that its reason 2... Well... I duno!!! Actually wad im mad at is not at those possible reasons... but more to the fact that there is an email sent way earlier, stating our attachment to start on the 26th... yup... but those abhorrent lecturers in charge should give us at least an explanation when they did not send us the posting!! They simply just throw the posting to those going and ignoring those that will not... End of story.

So now... After those waitings, after those checking back to that mailbox so every often now and den, after i DARE to say they will NEVER send the posting this holiday liao... So maybe only till NOW, 1 March 2007, i can declare its vacation time??

Vacation = Loads of free time = Spend money = No money = HAVE TO LOOK FOR A VACATION JOB = NAGGINGS FROM SOME YOU-KNOW-WHO...

Those in caps are the main reasons... Im not sure if i had blogged about wads those links but i definitely know i had typed it or told somebody before... From all those "requirements" they want to those i chosen to those naggings... I had no freedom to choose wad i want to work in!!! Haix.. totally BLAH rite??

Anyway.. i do know it sounds like somehow somewhat someways in at fault... Yup.. i ADMIT... What else can i say? Maybe its time for me to look for a job that is $5 per hour and above, NOT a F&B job, 4 or less working hours a day, 5 or less working days each week, preferably working in home clothes... Possible?

Any jobbangs to offer? Those jobs under MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING (MLM), under BINARY MARKETING, under NETWORK MARKETING or any similar sorts... Not in my list.

Hmph~ Fancy making me happy that this vacation i will not have to get those naggings... well.. WHO KNOWS THAT IAP...?!?! Hmph~ **Roll my eyes** To make matters more nervous or ganjoing for me... Those classmates of mine since year 1 semester 1... According to the class list, those that are infront of me had already gotten their posting... But those me and after had not... So?? Haix.. Hu ask me! Me name falls directly in the middle of the class... Aiyo... Faints!

Hmm... maybe next post i shall blog abt ME that u dunno.. Ermm.. Boring?

Current mood: Im seriously ok and is smiling... Dun get mistaken my the tone up there. Winks!! =)
