War erupted between 2 aliens today. The war between an engineer and a salesman. 1 loves processes, another loves to talk his way out of every situation...
sigh, wat a friday today. early morning bombarded by 2 such fellas.. gave us 3 poor things a bad headache.
result of war? salesman lost. and not only that. we have to draw up our program timeline, write the processes of leasing..... wa lau.... really acquire strange skills here in this company....

feeling so lousy....so low....
"yes.. am just hanging on there" (little finger left on the bar)
got caught offguard by MK to the room this afternoon. didnt expect the 'chat' to come... sort of forgotten abt it...
anyway its been such a bad day with the crappy ppl at work. sometimes wonder how i managed to hang on so far. prob a bad memory helps?
counting down to 17 sept. hopefully things will work out by den. really hate the feeling of leaving work unhappy. its juz not the rite way to end a day... alot of negative feelings inside which i know is bad.
popo juz called to find out how i was doing. feels comforting tat at least u still got nice colleagues and bosses.
tgif. love weekends :)

3. my brows - need to go back to jacqeline to start upkeeping em...
4. my dressing - i tink i need to dress better, i need more colors in the wardrobe
5. my nails - time to get some mani/pedi package to pamper myself (more?)
6. skin - looking dehydrated and scaly... i need more moisturising

downtime
Capricorn: It is likely that you have been working too hard and too long. Don't you think the time has come for a bit of a break, HUI? Even if you manage to drag yourself out of bed and ease yourself behind the control panel, little is likely to be accomplished. When your heart isn't in it, it is difficult for your mind to be. A few days of rest and relaxation will rejuvenate you. Perhaps you should take a short jaunt out of town...
ulcer, sore throat, half-blocked nose, muscle ache... machine suddenly broke down tis morning..
slept alot and just work up after a 5 hours nap. feeling goggy. thank goodness its friday tml....

wats wrong with me?
time of the month? i think so...
but i guess im also pretty jaded. wat have i accomplished in the last 1 yr here? i really dunno. i think morale and patience sunk an all time low tis afternoon. tis time its not dh, not anyone but its me.
so many negative tots culmated in me today. much more than any 'attack'.
was is a wrong career move for me? wld i have been better where i was or where i cld have gone to. i dunno and i really wont know. no where is gd. its juz a matter of how bad things are.
just feel that im under-achieving here. been feeling this way since i joined. it took some kind of willpower to carry on every day. Gg to work may not be a drag everyday cuz of the colleagues but there really isnt much to look forward to for work. at a total slack...
how long more can i last? wats the pt of gg for a long break? come back to work the recharged soul will once again wear thin again. but im still looking forward to my holiday. juz cuz i want to be away from the office. wats the pt of being at work anyway? when was the last time i typed a proper mail. when was the last time i followed up on a proper matter?
Jaded and lost...
now i will have to worry about how to face all of them tml. its really hard to pretend everything is ok when the heart and mind is feeling a ton. Hopping onto the cab and reaching home at 10 past 6 felt like a total relief. I switched off my mobile too.. hoping to switch off from the world entirely as well. Sweating out after the run, the cycle and the attempt to get 'in touch' with my inner soul thru yoga did help recover the tired soul and refresh the myself. but it did not cleanse off the negative tots. it must be bad when even cornetto classic cone did not do the trick.
what the hell is wrong with me....
Wish i can take the day off tml and head for the beach.. when all else fails.. the deep blue sea and star-lit nite skies may well do the trick.....
Ah hui.. 你要振作！

张玉华/ 李圣杰: 是你决定我的伤心
Addicted to this song recently. Can listen to it over n over again...
女:我曾经以为那是一次潇洒的邂逅
所以我一直相信能够轻易说hello
抱著游戏的心情
考验自己没有防备的感情
不在乎自己有没有这种能力
*男:我必须承认不敢释放我的真情
所以我相信也会是你的问题
太多太多的激情闯进尘封已久的禁地
让我们失去选择的余地
#男:是你决定我的伤心
女:是你决定我的伤心
合:如果我们还会重新相遇
我会用感觉拥有所有的你
+男:是你决定我的伤心
女:是你决定我的伤心
合:如果我们还会重新相遇
我不会让你决定我的伤心

Horoscope speaking to me again...
Disagreements and hot tempers could get in the way of completing an important project, HUI. There may be a detail to the plan that some people just can't seem to agree on. It's best to attempt to rework it rather than try to bring everyone around to the current point of view, as people are too tense to listen to reason. Instead, hear what they have to say and act accordingly. Remember: remain objective!
work is at a all-time low morale... with a director directing us like a traffic controller, no job satisfaction at all. wonder how long more i can take this kind of crap from him. when can he wake up his idea and stop directing us around?
miserable...

the evil tongue
Somehow there is juz so much acid in my tongue, i wonder y. I feel a sense of need to reflect and change the way i speak and communicate with ppl around me and with my loved ones.
Recalled a teaching of the Bible that i once read. Did a search and found some teachings i was looking for to speak to me:
1 Peter 3:10 "THE ONE WHO DESIRES LIFE, TO LOVE AND SEE GOOD DAYS, MUST KEEP HIS TONGUE FROM EVIL AND HIS LIPS FROM SPEAKING DECEIT"
Matthew 7:1 "Do not judge so that you will not be judged."
James 5:9 Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door
Will pick up the Bible and read again. hopefully i get a better peace of mind and think of my daily speech again.
Hoping for a better me!

basic courtesy
i hate it when ppl snoop around my workstation... (ok.. tis only applies to ppl i dont particularly like) and i hate it more when they take my stuff and don't even have the basic courtesy to let me know! printed a copy of the draft brochure to look through. realised it was missing from my desk when addie came by and asked if the copy on HIS desk is mine. i looked around my desk and realise it was gone from my intray. got so fuming mad that i Purposely walked over and asked him if the copy hes holding is mine. guess wat reply i got? a blank "oh yes it is" and he turned back and continued his conversation with gk. WTH. some ppl juz don have the basic courtesy of informing ppl that he has taken their stuff nor have the basic decency to print his own. and i cant believe he has not returned it to me yet.. i tink he nv will.. such an idiot for a boss. yuck, totally spoilt my morning...

wat shd i do?
how shd i be feeling rite now? shock? disappointment? definitely not feeling happy even tho i've been waiting for some romance in my life...
really at loss of words during that moment of revelation. im thankful i was half drunk and could pretend not to hear anything. i was taken aback at the dance floor when half the time he was trying to hold my hand. really hoped none of the colleagues saw that.
Outside of MOS, half the time i was praying for Ad to come save my life... i cant erase those words that he said to me. i juz kept my head down eyes closed pretending to be resting. Was so relieved that he did not manage to get onto the cab with me.
luckily we're moving office in 1 week's time and i wont see him anymore. dont think i can face him and talk to him normally again. regretted giving him my no. when he asked that day. juz so disappointed with him... how cld he do this to his wife?
trouble trouble trouble....

Adversity
Tough times at work.
Today i felt so sian in e midst of the discussion that i almost feel like crying out to ease the pek chekness. it made me realise.. the negative tots are realli eating into me. and i noe i ought to step out of it. no matter how unbearable it is getting. cuz its juz like a snowball now.. and if i dont step off and get back on dry tracks.. it will juz keep growing and GROwing....
i want to be happy... take things easy and juz take work as just work. mebe work has taken centerstage in my life now which explains y its eating into me so much....
been working on the same thing again and again... at least for the last 6 months? plans keep changing... those leading the proj doesnt seem to be having a clear lead. which is worrying. time is working against us... all of us know. but things juz keeps gg in circles and we have made no progress for months. so much things that we've been asked to comment on but eventually what happens? 70% of it gets rejected and we are told we are running out of time. in the end, we practically had not much to comment on the product and the brochure turns out to be so amateurist...total disappointment and an embarassment to bring that out to meet ppl... gosh...
puzzles me how such a major project can turn into such a mess. with a develpmt alien creating extra layers for communication, play tai-ji ever so often and most of the time becoming a 'bulldozer' on others.. i wonder who made the decision to place someone like him to lead the whole project. what a risk!
Now theres an alien in my dpt which the co. spends a hefty amt relocating him here which is creating havoc n unhappiness in the team. i wonder if he realises that he has yet to convince us that he is worthy of his position.
strange thing in life. when a foreign company ventures into other countries, they still 'plant' their own ppl (who know nuts abt the local mkt) to lead the locals and knowing fairly well that locals can pull off a gd job. sigh... life leaves us with no choice and with nothing known as "fairness".
i juz pray for strength and positive feelings to grow as i move on in this difficult phase...

a simple hug and peck on the cheek
... warms the heart.
kids r the most wonderful being on earth:
1. they bring u into their innocent world and let u view things from a different way
2. so easy to express their tots and feelings
when u grow older, u tend to have more complicated tots and feelings and in the midst of it.. u get more confuse and unhappy.
when u grow older, u find it harder to express yr heartfelt thoughts.
when was the last time i sent a card, wrote a letter or made a simple gift for a fren or a loved one? i cant remember.
these days, such are all replaced by sms-es and msn conversatons.
i remember i used to save my pocket money to buy ear-rings for my sister on her bday when i was still in pri sch. when i was in sec sch, i made cards for her which she still kept. now, gifts are expensive off the shelf items that are deemed "practical" and useful.
i remember when letter writing and hand made cards filled my days in pri sch to sec sch and even to jc. gifts were much simpler and meaningful back then. these days, u make time to meet up frenz on their bdays and gifts were simply items that they need.
i remember lovely notebooks were kept as diaries to pen down happy n unhappy times and try to keep them hidden in 'safe' places to keep them from the prying eyes of yr family. these days, u use the blog as yr diary cuz u spend most of the time on the computer.
has life changed its way of functioning or do ppl simply juz outgrow certain way of doing things?

The world is not fair
is this a display of racism?
The aliens have not only invaded but now they have taken over the planet here.
Dont know whats going to happen in the next 2years. Things were good as it is. How to face having a new boss whom you dont like and absolutely convinced that he doesnt know anything about the local market. Worst still, he can say he know nuts about legal terms which is just such a basic requirement of even executives. He is here to learn and is put in-charge of the project! How unfair can life be juz because he is an alien?!
The project could turn out well.. but left in the hands of these inexperienced aliens who only know how to talk their way out of situations.. i guess the project is not going to turn out well after all.. what a waste of such a good location. dont hire locals if u cant trust them for goodness sake...
sigh sigh sigh... just what a relief that weekend is here. a piece of bad news to end the week.. having to face the unknown next week, i wish time can come back to a standstill...

another sign?
mum went temple yesterday. as usual, asked about my marriage. (i feel myself in those old drama serial where the mother worry daughter cant get married so always go temple and seek for divine answers.. hahha). anyway fortunately the teller says my fate will come later and it will be good.. maybe thats y Han says take the 2nd one. so what does it mean? like knowing the next one i meet wont work out again. so strange, like the 10pm hkg show i watching now. can forsee future.
hiya i also no believe so much la. how they all know right. anyway i believe its all fated.. but time will tell. maybe one day when i read back then i will realise all the predictions are true... mebe.. juz mebe...

choose the 2nd one
a colleague of mine had the ability to see "things". kinda scary to hear him talk about where r the 'spooky' corners in the office. anyway he gave us this fengshui notes which tell us the good and bad directions according to your date of birth. so me and ad analyzed our workstations and realised that they r bad for us! but fortunately (and strangely) it turned out that if we swop seats, its gd for both of us! well anyway ad was gg to go home and find a huang dao ji ri for us to change. but in the end i decided that theres no pt changing seats since i'll be shifting office in july.. told ad that since sway for so long makes no diff for another 1 mth rite? hhaha
anyway this colleague also told me this: Choose the 2nd one and not the 1st one ok?
i wondered what he meant. asked him abt it and he juz said: choose the one tat u do not like as much.
wa.. so chim. i wanted tell him i no choices now leh. i also like to have the option to choose. hahhaa.. anyway he also told me tat my first kid is a girl. so cute. wonder if his fortune telling will come true. so i better blog it down so tat next time i will remember..

palm reading
Chanced upon this test in my email.. tot try for fun. not easy to do cuz hard to match my lines to the options. but heres wat results reveal about me!
Hui, the shape of your hand reveals that you are especially good at Living each day to its fullestThe signs we read in your palm indicate you have much to gain by experiencing every day as if it were your last. By putting directed energy toward getting all that you can from life, your efforts will be returned multi-fold.
A Life Line origin high and close to their index finger live life to its fullest
A variable depth Head Line have widely varying levels of concentration
A Heart Line destination curving toward their middle finger are highly expressive
Rounded fingers and thumbs are impressionable
A pink Mound of Saturn have a high sense of self worth and are reliable and cautious
Palmists can learn a substantial amount from the lines of your palm. The four major lines are your Life Line, Head Line, Heart Line, and Destiny Line. From your Life Line, a palmist can tell what your general approach to life is and how you deal with life's challenges. Your Head Line reveals how you process information and think through problems. Your Heart Line can give a palmist insight into your personal relationships, including friends, family, and significant other(s). Your Destiny Line pertains to changes in your personal drive and focus over time. In addition, a palmist can read some of the lesser lines — if they are present in your palm — for information on your level of creativity, communication skill, and attachments you may have or will have with others throughout your life.
Life Line reveals your approach to life and how you handle uncertainty or hardship. It is a common misconception that the Life Line can tell you when you will die. Even persons with relatively short Life Lines can live a long life. Generally, the information that can be gleaned from your Life Line pertains to your overall outlook and the ease with which you will travel through your life.
You have a natural ability to show your love and sympathy for others. You are generally supportive when friends or family come to you for assistance. One of the most important things to you in life is to make sure that you are living in the moment. You tend not to worry too much about the past or the future. Anytime you start to experience any regrets, it likely stems from a sense of losing your focus on living life in the present. When you are confronted with difficulties in life, you may sometimes have trouble expressing yourself. With this challenge, it is hard to ask for help when you really need it.
Head Line reveals how you process information and think through problems. It is a common misconception that the Head Line can tell you how intelligent you are. Persons with various styles of Head Lines can be very smart, but in different ways. Primarily, the information that can be gathered from your Head Line pertains to your particular way of understanding the information you come into contact with throughout your life.
When it comes to leadership, you are probably quite comfortable in either the role of the leader or the follower. Since taking charge is not necessarily something you covet, you are usually fine with stepping aside to let someone else take the lead. However, if no one else steps up, you know you are capable of taking on the leader role. Your thought process tends to be a balance of rational and imaginative approaches. While you can solve complex problems when necessary, you may also enjoy listening to your intuition when faced with decision-making. Your ability to draw on both rational and intuitive parts of your brain may be confusing to some, especially if your ability to do so is sporadic or inconsistent. You can enjoy a wide range of projects and may possess an array of problem solving skills. However, the intensity of your ability to focus or concentrate can widely vary, depending on what you are doing. When you have a choice, you'd probably rather research and investigate multiple options simultaneously. You are likely a master multi-tasker who enjoys having many balls in the air at the same time.
Heart Line reveals how you handle the relationships in your life and how comfortable you are with intimacy. It is a common misconception that the Heart Line can tell you definitively what relationships you will have in the future. On average, the information that can be collected from your Heart Line indicates the influences in your life that have in the past or will in the future affect your personal relationships, including friends, family, and significant other(s).
Your ability to be intimate with others may be influenced by a lack of commitment. You may find it difficult to make emotional promises, even if you are married. People you don't know well may find you somewhat distant. In a tight knit relationship, you tend to be an independent person with a calm and cool disposition. Your ideal life mate will likely prize you for your loyalty and practicality. At times, you may find that you get yourself into trouble in your relationships by being too isolated and inattentive.
Destiny Line (also called the Saturn Line) reveals changes in your personal drive and focus over time. There is much that a palmist can tell about your career and/or personal drive, including approximate timing of major events or changes — just by looking at the Destiny Line! Primarily, the information garnered from your Destiny Line on your right palm — the Palm you looked at to answer the questions on this test — pertains to your career. In turn, the information gathered from your Destiny Line on your left palm pertains to your personal sense of purpose.
Since you do not have a Destiny Line in your right palm, a palmist can tell that you don't focus a large amount of energy toward your future career goals. You may prefer to let things come to you in time and don't spend a great deal of time planning ahead. However, when you are particularly inspired, you are capable of intense moments of productivity. When your interest in the project ceases, however, you tend to resume your more casual approach to life.
Apollo Line can predict your level of creativity and flexibility, although not everyone has an Apollo Line; it is a vertical line that appears below your ring finger.
The absence of an Apollo Line in your palm does not indicate a lack of creativity or flexibility. Rather, it suggests that you're about average or slightly above in creativity. Although, it could mean that you may not receive recognition as an expert or specialist in your field.
Mercury Line can foretell your skill at communication or psychic ability. However, not everyone has a Mercury Line; it is a vertical line that appears below your pinky finger.
If you don't have a Mercury Line in your palm, it doesn't represent a lack of communication skills. Usually, it suggests you land around average or slightly above in your public speaking skills. Otherwise, there is a chance that you may not listen to your intuition as closely as those with a Mercury Line. Your palm does not contain the Line of Psychic Ability, which resembles an arc that is an extension of a person's Mercury Line. While psychics do not always have the Line of Psychic Ability, those who have the line can more easily tap into their paranormal skills. While you may have psychic abilities, you will likely have a more difficult time accessing them than someone with the Line of Psychic Ability.
The Attachment Lines reveal the major relationships you may have with others. Traditional palmists engage in ample debate about the validity of these lines as predictions of marriages and children. However, most agree that the attachment lines indicate the possibility that a person might marry or have children, whether they choose to or not is a decision left to the individual.
A palmist would say that you will be married one time or have one committed relationship that does not lead to marriage. At some point, you will need to make a decision that will either lead to more involvement or push you away from this relationship. A palmist would say that you probably won't choose to bring children into your life, although the opportunity to do so is there for you.
The mounds of your palm can tell you what kinds of energy you possess naturally and which energies will be more difficult for you to access. Through a careful examination of the fleshy areas of your hand, you can learn which areas of life you will be most likely to find success. The following traits were determined by looking at the shape and color of different areas of your hand.
The Mound of Jupiter — located in the upper right corner of your palm, just below your index finger — is related to your personal power, your hopes and ambitions, and your ability to lead others.
You are blessed with a strong Mound of Jupiter. So, what does that mean? When you are at your best, the clear goals you set go hand-in-hand with your self-motivated direction. Together these qualities tend to set you apart from others as a strong leader.
The Mound of Saturn — located in the upper portion of your palm, just below your middle finger — is related to your concept of self-worth, personal satisfaction, and security.Your palm reveals a somewhat poor Mound of Saturn, as affirmed by its shape and color. You probably don't have an innate gift for self-reflection or personal accountability. To tap into your inner tranquility all you need to do is put forth the commitment to change. It's well within your reach!
The Mound of Apollo — located in the upper portion of your palm, just below your ring finger — is related to self-expression, originality, and recognition of your talents by others. Unfortunately, your Mound of Apollo is not the strongest, as revealed by its bleak shape and color. What effect does that have on you? Well, you tend not to focus on your imagination. You come up with ideas inside the box, and thinking quick on your feet is not a strength you possess. Don't fret, the artist inside is screaming to come out. To unveil this quality demands some effort on your part.
The Mound of Mercury — located in the upper portion of your palm, just below your pinky finger — is related to intimacy, spiritual understanding, and interpersonal communication. You can tell by its great shape and color that a healthy dose of Mound of Mercury sits in your palm. When things are going well for you, one could say that communicating clearly is your strong point. You really understand what makes people tick. Others feel comfortable sharing intimate details of their life with you that they may not with others. Family and friends look to you as a deep and insightful confidant.
The Upper Mound of Mars located in the middle left portion of your palm — is related to inner calm, boldness, and skill at dealing with life's problems. The plump shape and color in your palm signifies a strong Upper Mound of Mars. When you have your best foot forward, you have the uncanny ability to maintain your cool in the midst of chaos. This singles you out from the rest as an exceptionally stable and brave individual.
The Lower Mound of Mars — located in the middle right portion of your palm — is related to action, aggressiveness, and the momentum to make things happen. You're all that, with your strong Lower Mound of Mars, as indicated by its healthy shape and color. On your best days, your take-charge attitude makes people stop and listen. This is a great attribute along with your energetic approach to life that is contagious. You stand out above others as extremely motivated.
The Mound of Venus — located in the lower right portion of your palm — is related to love, sympathy, and depth of emotion. You have a powerful Mound of Venus, as exemplified by its vibrant shape and color. At your brightest moments, your thoughtfulness and caring demeanor shine through as one of your best strengths. These traits set you apart from the rest. Others often want to cry on your shoulder. Hence you possess such a great skill for counseling and have handed out your fair share of advice.
The Mound of Moon — located in the lower left portion of your palm — is related to intuition, mental acuity, and adeptness with thinking outside the box. As illustrated by its awesome shape and color, you have a mighty Mound of Moon. When you're at your best, your inventiveness can lead you to truly original ideas that most people wouldn't think of.
Your Fingers and ThumbWhile you may not consider the fingers and thumbs as part of a palm reading, they really do play a significant part of a traditional hand analysis. Palmists read signs in the fingers and thumb as well as using them as landmarks for other parts of the reading. The interpretation of the mounds and lines of the palm are highly influenced by their proximity to each finger and the thumb.The shape of your fingers and thumb reveal that you are an impressionable person. You are open to the influences in the world around you, yet you generally don't act in drastic ways. Moderation is key for you. The finger and thumb shape create energies that influence the reading of each of your fingers and thumb and by extension, your entire palm.
Your index finger, also called the Jupiter Finger, traditionally corresponds with leadership abilities. Your Jupiter Finger is strong which means you probably enjoy being in charge. You'll likely prefer to have a team of people working under your direction and enjoy guiding people to meet their potential. Your index finger leans in toward your middle finger, indicating your need to know that others feel good about you. While gaining approval from your peers is a positive thing, you need to sustain a solid sense of self-worth. Becoming dependent on positive feedback won't help you in the long run. Your middle finger, also called the Saturn Finger, traditionally corresponds with confidence. Your palm bears a strong Saturn Finger. One could probably bet your sense of self- worth ranks high. It is more likely that you take risks in life because you believe in your ability to succeed. Your ring finger, also called the Apollo Finger, traditionally corresponds with creativity. You have a strong Apollo Finger, which may mean you were born with your own creative nature. You probably love contributing to the world in ways that challenge you to think of unusual and original methods of doing things. Your ring finger leans in toward your middle finger, indicating your concern for the consequences of your actions. This tendency may be hampering your creativity because you are always thinking in terms of boundaries and limitations. Your pinky finger, also called the Mercury Finger, traditionally corresponds with insight and understanding. You are blessed with a strong Mercury Finger. As a result, you probably find that you have a natural talent for understanding other people. Your friends usually routinely turn to you for your insight. Your guidance helps them understand their interactions with others. Your pinky finger leans in toward your ring finger, indicating your ability to blend in with most groups and social situations. Your thumb can be read to ascertain your level of flexibility when it comes to dealing with people or unpredictable situations. Your thumb proves that you can be somewhat stubborn at times. It may be to such an extent that you struggle with radical changes.
Hui, the shape of your hand reveals that you are especially good at Living each day to its fullestThe signs we read in your palm indicate you have much to gain by experiencing every day as if it were your last. By putting directed energy toward getting all that you can from life, your efforts will be returned multi-fold.

Palmists can learn a substantial amount from the lines of your palm. The four major lines are your Life Line, Head Line, Heart Line, and Destiny Line. From your Life Line, a palmist can tell what your general approach to life is and how you deal with life's challenges. Your Head Line reveals how you process information and think through problems. Your Heart Line can give a palmist insight into your personal relationships, including friends, family, and significant other(s). Your Destiny Line pertains to changes in your personal drive and focus over time. In addition, a palmist can read some of the lesser lines — if they are present in your palm — for information on your level of creativity, communication skill, and attachments you may have or will have with others throughout your life.
Life Line reveals your approach to life and how you handle uncertainty or hardship. It is a common misconception that the Life Line can tell you when you will die. Even persons with relatively short Life Lines can live a long life. Generally, the information that can be gleaned from your Life Line pertains to your overall outlook and the ease with which you will travel through your life.
You have a natural ability to show your love and sympathy for others. You are generally supportive when friends or family come to you for assistance. One of the most important things to you in life is to make sure that you are living in the moment. You tend not to worry too much about the past or the future. Anytime you start to experience any regrets, it likely stems from a sense of losing your focus on living life in the present. When you are confronted with difficulties in life, you may sometimes have trouble expressing yourself. With this challenge, it is hard to ask for help when you really need it.
Head Line reveals how you process information and think through problems. It is a common misconception that the Head Line can tell you how intelligent you are. Persons with various styles of Head Lines can be very smart, but in different ways. Primarily, the information that can be gathered from your Head Line pertains to your particular way of understanding the information you come into contact with throughout your life.
When it comes to leadership, you are probably quite comfortable in either the role of the leader or the follower. Since taking charge is not necessarily something you covet, you are usually fine with stepping aside to let someone else take the lead. However, if no one else steps up, you know you are capable of taking on the leader role. Your thought process tends to be a balance of rational and imaginative approaches. While you can solve complex problems when necessary, you may also enjoy listening to your intuition when faced with decision-making. Your ability to draw on both rational and intuitive parts of your brain may be confusing to some, especially if your ability to do so is sporadic or inconsistent. You can enjoy a wide range of projects and may possess an array of problem solving skills. However, the intensity of your ability to focus or concentrate can widely vary, depending on what you are doing. When you have a choice, you'd probably rather research and investigate multiple options simultaneously. You are likely a master multi-tasker who enjoys having many balls in the air at the same time.
Heart Line reveals how you handle the relationships in your life and how comfortable you are with intimacy. It is a common misconception that the Heart Line can tell you definitively what relationships you will have in the future. On average, the information that can be collected from your Heart Line indicates the influences in your life that have in the past or will in the future affect your personal relationships, including friends, family, and significant other(s).
Your ability to be intimate with others may be influenced by a lack of commitment. You may find it difficult to make emotional promises, even if you are married. People you don't know well may find you somewhat distant. In a tight knit relationship, you tend to be an independent person with a calm and cool disposition. Your ideal life mate will likely prize you for your loyalty and practicality. At times, you may find that you get yourself into trouble in your relationships by being too isolated and inattentive.
Destiny Line (also called the Saturn Line) reveals changes in your personal drive and focus over time. There is much that a palmist can tell about your career and/or personal drive, including approximate timing of major events or changes — just by looking at the Destiny Line! Primarily, the information garnered from your Destiny Line on your right palm — the Palm you looked at to answer the questions on this test — pertains to your career. In turn, the information gathered from your Destiny Line on your left palm pertains to your personal sense of purpose.
Since you do not have a Destiny Line in your right palm, a palmist can tell that you don't focus a large amount of energy toward your future career goals. You may prefer to let things come to you in time and don't spend a great deal of time planning ahead. However, when you are particularly inspired, you are capable of intense moments of productivity. When your interest in the project ceases, however, you tend to resume your more casual approach to life.
Apollo Line can predict your level of creativity and flexibility, although not everyone has an Apollo Line; it is a vertical line that appears below your ring finger.
The absence of an Apollo Line in your palm does not indicate a lack of creativity or flexibility. Rather, it suggests that you're about average or slightly above in creativity. Although, it could mean that you may not receive recognition as an expert or specialist in your field.
Mercury Line can foretell your skill at communication or psychic ability. However, not everyone has a Mercury Line; it is a vertical line that appears below your pinky finger.
If you don't have a Mercury Line in your palm, it doesn't represent a lack of communication skills. Usually, it suggests you land around average or slightly above in your public speaking skills. Otherwise, there is a chance that you may not listen to your intuition as closely as those with a Mercury Line. Your palm does not contain the Line of Psychic Ability, which resembles an arc that is an extension of a person's Mercury Line. While psychics do not always have the Line of Psychic Ability, those who have the line can more easily tap into their paranormal skills. While you may have psychic abilities, you will likely have a more difficult time accessing them than someone with the Line of Psychic Ability.
The Attachment Lines reveal the major relationships you may have with others. Traditional palmists engage in ample debate about the validity of these lines as predictions of marriages and children. However, most agree that the attachment lines indicate the possibility that a person might marry or have children, whether they choose to or not is a decision left to the individual.
A palmist would say that you will be married one time or have one committed relationship that does not lead to marriage. At some point, you will need to make a decision that will either lead to more involvement or push you away from this relationship. A palmist would say that you probably won't choose to bring children into your life, although the opportunity to do so is there for you.
The mounds of your palm can tell you what kinds of energy you possess naturally and which energies will be more difficult for you to access. Through a careful examination of the fleshy areas of your hand, you can learn which areas of life you will be most likely to find success. The following traits were determined by looking at the shape and color of different areas of your hand.
The Mound of Jupiter — located in the upper right corner of your palm, just below your index finger — is related to your personal power, your hopes and ambitions, and your ability to lead others.
You are blessed with a strong Mound of Jupiter. So, what does that mean? When you are at your best, the clear goals you set go hand-in-hand with your self-motivated direction. Together these qualities tend to set you apart from others as a strong leader.
The Mound of Saturn — located in the upper portion of your palm, just below your middle finger — is related to your concept of self-worth, personal satisfaction, and security.Your palm reveals a somewhat poor Mound of Saturn, as affirmed by its shape and color. You probably don't have an innate gift for self-reflection or personal accountability. To tap into your inner tranquility all you need to do is put forth the commitment to change. It's well within your reach!
The Mound of Apollo — located in the upper portion of your palm, just below your ring finger — is related to self-expression, originality, and recognition of your talents by others. Unfortunately, your Mound of Apollo is not the strongest, as revealed by its bleak shape and color. What effect does that have on you? Well, you tend not to focus on your imagination. You come up with ideas inside the box, and thinking quick on your feet is not a strength you possess. Don't fret, the artist inside is screaming to come out. To unveil this quality demands some effort on your part.
The Mound of Mercury — located in the upper portion of your palm, just below your pinky finger — is related to intimacy, spiritual understanding, and interpersonal communication. You can tell by its great shape and color that a healthy dose of Mound of Mercury sits in your palm. When things are going well for you, one could say that communicating clearly is your strong point. You really understand what makes people tick. Others feel comfortable sharing intimate details of their life with you that they may not with others. Family and friends look to you as a deep and insightful confidant.
The Upper Mound of Mars located in the middle left portion of your palm — is related to inner calm, boldness, and skill at dealing with life's problems. The plump shape and color in your palm signifies a strong Upper Mound of Mars. When you have your best foot forward, you have the uncanny ability to maintain your cool in the midst of chaos. This singles you out from the rest as an exceptionally stable and brave individual.
The Lower Mound of Mars — located in the middle right portion of your palm — is related to action, aggressiveness, and the momentum to make things happen. You're all that, with your strong Lower Mound of Mars, as indicated by its healthy shape and color. On your best days, your take-charge attitude makes people stop and listen. This is a great attribute along with your energetic approach to life that is contagious. You stand out above others as extremely motivated.
The Mound of Venus — located in the lower right portion of your palm — is related to love, sympathy, and depth of emotion. You have a powerful Mound of Venus, as exemplified by its vibrant shape and color. At your brightest moments, your thoughtfulness and caring demeanor shine through as one of your best strengths. These traits set you apart from the rest. Others often want to cry on your shoulder. Hence you possess such a great skill for counseling and have handed out your fair share of advice.
The Mound of Moon — located in the lower left portion of your palm — is related to intuition, mental acuity, and adeptness with thinking outside the box. As illustrated by its awesome shape and color, you have a mighty Mound of Moon. When you're at your best, your inventiveness can lead you to truly original ideas that most people wouldn't think of.
Your Fingers and ThumbWhile you may not consider the fingers and thumbs as part of a palm reading, they really do play a significant part of a traditional hand analysis. Palmists read signs in the fingers and thumb as well as using them as landmarks for other parts of the reading. The interpretation of the mounds and lines of the palm are highly influenced by their proximity to each finger and the thumb.The shape of your fingers and thumb reveal that you are an impressionable person. You are open to the influences in the world around you, yet you generally don't act in drastic ways. Moderation is key for you. The finger and thumb shape create energies that influence the reading of each of your fingers and thumb and by extension, your entire palm.
Your index finger, also called the Jupiter Finger, traditionally corresponds with leadership abilities. Your Jupiter Finger is strong which means you probably enjoy being in charge. You'll likely prefer to have a team of people working under your direction and enjoy guiding people to meet their potential. Your index finger leans in toward your middle finger, indicating your need to know that others feel good about you. While gaining approval from your peers is a positive thing, you need to sustain a solid sense of self-worth. Becoming dependent on positive feedback won't help you in the long run. Your middle finger, also called the Saturn Finger, traditionally corresponds with confidence. Your palm bears a strong Saturn Finger. One could probably bet your sense of self- worth ranks high. It is more likely that you take risks in life because you believe in your ability to succeed. Your ring finger, also called the Apollo Finger, traditionally corresponds with creativity. You have a strong Apollo Finger, which may mean you were born with your own creative nature. You probably love contributing to the world in ways that challenge you to think of unusual and original methods of doing things. Your ring finger leans in toward your middle finger, indicating your concern for the consequences of your actions. This tendency may be hampering your creativity because you are always thinking in terms of boundaries and limitations. Your pinky finger, also called the Mercury Finger, traditionally corresponds with insight and understanding. You are blessed with a strong Mercury Finger. As a result, you probably find that you have a natural talent for understanding other people. Your friends usually routinely turn to you for your insight. Your guidance helps them understand their interactions with others. Your pinky finger leans in toward your ring finger, indicating your ability to blend in with most groups and social situations. Your thumb can be read to ascertain your level of flexibility when it comes to dealing with people or unpredictable situations. Your thumb proves that you can be somewhat stubborn at times. It may be to such an extent that you struggle with radical changes.

Health talk on the bus - u r wat u eat
went home together w LC today. surprise surprise that i checked with her if shes wants to go back together. she seemed kinda surprise but sounded happy that i asked her if she wana leave together. i was surprised at myself too. maybe cuz now don reali have to work together on same project, less interaction at work so start to appreciate the nicer side of her. sigh, i shd just be thankful that i don have nasty n backstabbing colleagues n bosses!
anyway the bus ride home turned out to b a 45min health talk haha.. wow LC can really talk.. she talked non-stopped! i gathered the following from her:
1. meat is no good. evidence: Meat eaters like tigers/lions pant harder after a long run as compared to grass eaters like horses.
2. too much meat can cause u to have arithritis when u r old
3. milk is no good. soya bean milk is better
4. having regular periods is not necessarily gd sign. cld mean u have over active hormones.
5. where are all the good TCM clinics and wat each clinic specialise in
6. the difference between a cyst and a fibroid. cyst is non-cancerous and fibrous can turn cancerous.
7. u need to clear yr system at least twice a day (i tot once a day is gd enuff!)
now i know why she only eat veg for lunch and declined all my M&Ms...
watever it is... i still believe in:
1. Eating everything in moderation!
2. Life and death is pre-destined. (Living healthy is the way to go and if still kena sickness, then its the will of good)
yawn!!! looking forward to next week when bosses not around! juz wished i was travelling with em too! shanghai hkg kL.. so shiok! my time will come.. i hope!
nitenite!

Met up with rufie, ed, hl & her bf last nite at holland v. The last time all of us met up was my birthday last year? tis grp of friends r special to me, even tho we meet up only on each others' birthdays. its amazing to know that we were jc classmates for only a mere 3mths but our friendship has come a long way since... tis yr is the 10th! omg...
anway.. it was raining again last evening and hl says its rains whenever we r there.. ha.. maybe there is a raincloud above us? we cldnt decide wat to eat and ended up having the Katong laksa and nasi lemak opposite Provence bakery. Food was disappointing and service was bad. we headed for settler's after dinner. ed suggested gg there for games cuz he remembered i was talking abt it sometime bac.. we had fun playing stupid reflex games.. i cant remember the names except uglydolls. it requires focus, sharpness and speed! ha, will play it again on my next visit. we played a brainy game - citadel. cld have won if rufie had not destroyed 1 of towers :S ha anyway it was great fun!

friendships - older the better?
heavy topic today... its gd fri but didnt start out too gd for me. smthg got me tinking abt e friendships i have..
somehow i feel my closest friends often are the ones who put me down with their insensitive remarks... or were those meant as mean jokes? i really dun noe. i noe most of them has commented tat im quite xiao qi. i tink so but sometimes the situation just went beyond my limits. prob reali too sensitive on my side but still feel hurt by some of their occassional curt remarks :S
ok jio-ed chao and ru for lunch today. it was impromptu cuz my original plans to go hot yoga with silvia today was cancelled only last nite (after listening to all the unpleasant experiences the other gals had). so i was feeling bored tis morning so asked em out for lunch. anyway i offered to pick both of them up to vivo. in the end, the 1st remark i got from ru when they got into the car? "oh we were wondering whose the 'cannot make it' driver".. yes they meant me and it wasnt said in a joking manner.. it felt quite hurtful. at that moment, i tink i wld be happier lazing around at home.. didnt even felt like driving anymore. felt so off.. i tink i wont bother to drive the next time we r out.
well the insensitivity didnt end there. on the way to vivo, ah ru was complaining she was feeling sleepy and asked why we suddenly decided to meet. i said cuz i was feeling bored. and her reply? "oh hui, you must be feeling so kong xu"... my god... y do i have friends who talk like tat? now i duno whens the next time i'll ask the gals out.. i juz feel so disappointed that my friends talk like tat... sometimes jing makes some remarks tat is hurtful too. careless they maybe but it never feels gd at the receiver end. they are closest friends yet the least encouraging. Comments on my job changes, my lousy driving (its not fanastic but it gets me from pt A to pt B safe and sound so wat the heck?).. well the list goes on. why? whenever i offer some job advice or share interview experiences, the first thing wld be "ya hui very experienced cuz she changed 3 jobs already".. .. sometimes maybe im better off not talking at all.
strange tat these come from friendships i have maintained for 10 over yrs.. i tink im beginning to feel tired of having to listen to the some of the same remarks over and over again... juz too tiring.

wanted to go for a quick jog since i was early but skies seemed grey. so i popped roxie on my bicycle basket and tot i'll take her for a ride instead.. felt gd after the ride but all efforts were later destroyed by an innocent cone - Cookies n Cream cornetto.. heeehee..
meeting silvia for happy hour tml nite @ alley's... hope the live band is there tml!

at long last....
im a procratinator... and thats y it took me months to finally start writing again. even my last blog has given up on me. don even let me login at all :(
but glad i finally set up another one again! hope i can keep tis one going.... (*hui crosses fingers*)
today's been a long bluey day. stuck in a day workshop about sustainability.. someone told us how he drove 6000km across Australia by mixing waste cooking oil and methane (with drums of cooking oil stocked in his old mercedes benz).. interesting how ppl are driven to experiment in things that they are passionate about.. makes me think about my life and life in Sg. During lunch some weeks back, a expat colleague commented that he found singaporeans are generally low risk takers, afraid to deviate from the norm. i wondered if environment had shaped us or its just in oneself? oh well, when the time comes and if i apply for springboard, i hope i can challenge my limits and see how far i can go... :)
oh well, talking about diesel... just went to pump petrol juz now.. prices are up again!! uncle sunny hasnt been very nice to my wallet these days :( well i guess its only for this week. when zhiwei's back from his honeymoon next week, no more free parking for me so its "hello" to uncle sbs again... oh well less stressful anyway since PIE has been jamming so badly this days..
better zzzz else tired skin again tml.. hope tml's appt with mr organic goes well!

a gruesome conversation
Have been in sgh for the last 3 days. Was like a 3D1N chalet cuz i stayed overnight on the day dad had his op. He never liked hospitals (who do anyway?) and moreover he was running fevers on and off i was getting worried. But im glad i stayed cuz i tink he felt happier knowing that i was going to :)

In one of the lifts i took today, i overheard a conversation between 2 young doctors which got me feeling sick....
doc A: hey u know i realli hate that XX-scopic surgeries. Can fall asleep u noe? nothing exciting to see one. i wish for more open surgeries! so much more to see!
doc B nodded in agreement and laughed.
thank god the lift door opened at the next level and they walked out. But tat half min conversation was enuff to spoil my appetite for e bar chor mee i jz bought...
