personality tests at the maccha house

I think it is spelled as maccha and not matcha.
either way I love a good cuppa (matcha style)
jasmine goon was free today n it was opportune to pass her the pair of cat flats from aussie rubi!!!! it was such a steal, ten dollaz (holla) for it!!!!!!!! and I got some good buys too, from westfield. it's kind of like Orchard ion, with it's dark lighting and swirly complex architecture and shops to suit the palette of the whole family. oh and this rly gorgeous high-end food court; nothing like food republic, they sell Mexican, Asian, Indian, Western, organic, fried oh Italian with cafĂ© prices
oh yeah, today:
  • wanted to go to garden slug but it rained and I didn't know it stopped properly so we venue-switched. really tempted to reschedule a trip there and use its power sockets heh heh
  • maccha house waiters were really distressed that me and pex were just sitting there drinking our gong chas (in retrospect i'd really be raging all over us if I were them)
  • they gave us their menus and told us to choose our item(s) and pay at the cashier.
  • maccha partyyyyyy
  • my new kicks are hurting my legs idk whether its how I run??? couldn't continue more than half the run so I clocked in the worst timing in ages. shucks.
  • and the personality test which is scarily accurate I think!!!! really amazed and happy by it. tenku jas for the intro it's like a new look into my life so refreshing ^_^ (new face I learnt from my future roomie)
  • been trying to swallow the nuggets of information presented by the happiness project *still. reading* in minuscule font size of idk times new roman 7.
  • wish I could just be normal in front of ev'rybady like hi this is me I don't put my personality only on the internet cuz that's extremely suckey ewiojoiwgjgnalkwqp
okey so if you wanna see the inside of my brain synapses and electrical conxtns and what-nots basically just the personality test revelation, choose to

As an INFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you take things in primarily via intuition. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit with your personal value system.
INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. Only one percent of the population has an INFJ Personality Type, making it the most rare of all the types. INFJs place great importance on having things orderly and systematic in their outer world. They put a lot of energy into identifying the best system for getting things done, and constantly define and re-define the priorities in their lives. On the other hand, INFJs operate within themselves on an intuitive basis which is entirely spontaneous. They know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand. They are usually right, and they usually know it. Consequently, INFJs put a tremendous amount of faith into their instincts and intuitions. This is something of a conflict between the inner and outer worlds, and may result in the INFJ not being as organized as other Judging types tend to be. Or we may see some signs of disarray in an otherwise orderly tendency, such as a consistently messy desk. INFJs have uncanny insight into people and situations. They get "feelings" about things and intuitively understand them. As an extreme example, some INFJs report experiences of a psychic nature, such as getting strong feelings about there being a problem with a loved one, and discovering later that they were in a car accident. This is the sort of thing that other types may scorn and scoff at, and the INFJ himself does not really understand their intuition at a level which can be verbalized. Consequently, most INFJs are protective of their inner selves, sharing only what they choose to share when they choose to share it. They are deep, complex individuals, who are quite private and typically difficult to understand. INFJs hold back part of themselves, and can be secretive. But the INFJ is as genuinely warm as they are complex. INFJs hold a special place in the heart of people who they are close to, who are able to see their special gifts and depth of caring. INFJs are concerned for people's feelings, and try to be gentle to avoid hurting anyone. They are very sensitive to conflict, and cannot tolerate it very well. Situations which are charged with conflict may drive the normally peaceful INFJ into a state of agitation or charged anger. They may tend to internalize conflict into their bodies, and experience health problems when under a lot of stress. Because the INFJ has such strong intuitive capabilities, they trust their own instincts above all else. This may result in an INFJ stubbornness and tendency to ignore other people's opinions. They believe that they're right. On the other hand, INFJ is a perfectionist who doubts that they are living up to their full potential. INFJs are rarely at complete peace with themselves - there's always something else they should be doing to improve themselves and the world around them. They believe in constant growth, and don't often take time to revel in their accomplishments. They have strong value systems, and need to live their lives in accordance with what they feel is right. In deference to the Feeling aspect of their personalities, INFJs are in some ways gentle and easy going. Conversely, they have very high expectations of themselves, and frequently of their families. They don't believe in compromising their ideals. INFJ is a natural nurturer; patient, devoted and protective. They make loving parents and usually have strong bonds with their offspring. They have high expectations of their children, and push them to be the best that they can be. This can sometimes manifest itself in the INFJ being hard-nosed and stubborn. But generally, children of an INFJ get devoted and sincere parental guidance, combined with deep caring. In the workplace, the INFJ usually shows up in areas where they can be creative and somewhat independent. They have a natural affinity for art, and many excel in the sciences, where they make use of their intuition. INFJs can also be found in service-oriented professions. They are not good at dealing with minutia or very detailed tasks. The INFJ will either avoid such things, or else go to the other extreme and become enveloped in the details to the extent that they can no longer see the big picture. An INFJ who has gone the route of becoming meticulous about details may be highly critical of other individuals who are not. The INFJ individual is gifted in ways that other types are not. Life is not necessarily easy for the INFJ, but they are capable of great depth of feeling and personal achievement.

Life in Sydney

Being in Sydney, getting a hold of the sights and sounds seems terrifying. It's daunting, the thought of living here by myself for four years. It's different from the forever summer weather here in Singapore for one thing. There's this unshakable New York vibe to this country omg. What matters is that it's not Singapore ha ha ha.

Ok nonetheless the time here has been great and I love getaways so this is a pretty good one. There was an underground haven of nice restaurants and aWoolworth's the best supermarket around!!!! Sydney streets are walked upon only by people wearing formal work clothes and high clunky heels or suits and ties. 

The September weather is sweater weather and it's amazing but it gets dark early. 6pm. 
Queen Vic's place


Westfield near the hotel which is tucked in the city centre 


The haunted looking opera house at night. We took a boat ride which was a lot less chilly than the one in NY ☺ makes for a pleasant ride 




The sunset is to-die-for. The rays are rly rays
They are no imposters. 



Here, the worlds steepest railway ride which was more of a slow moving roller coaster bc it was just mad steep super terrifying 


Cable car with a clear bottom
Hehe




Sunday mass at this gothic beauty. The all-male choir is amazeballs and truly grand. Rly lovely to hear them harmonize and create lyrical heaven 


Ok I concede the Samsung galaxy takes astounding pictures...... ^

Excited for my future accommodation at the central area. It's a newly renovated place and has individual bathrooms attached. No meals so I'd have to cook my own but supermarket meals will suffice!! A lot to look fwd to it's scary. 


My dad on the right getting some char siew fan for dinner 

So my dad has always been obsessed since day 1 about capturing the nicest night shot of the opera house, he went out one night by himself to take the shot and then we received a notif that the grp icon has been changed to that ^. I was so excited coz the picture v nice
But he said he didn't take the shot basically turns out, it's one of those google images hahahaha

Scotland-bound friend


Honestly super glad I got to see Sheryl in tangible form today. Four years in such an amazing place is something to be greatly envious of!!!! Yet I'm so excited for her n mega happy. It's hilarious that Turbo and Planes are actual movies about things that she fears. 

And my supper w da regulars (LOLOL) aka church people aka bren Furt shaun Andrew. I rly rly rly rly love supper talks so much!!!! (Just not the empty calories that come with it.) Supper is a happy affair and I pledge to have at least 5 of those bfr I ✈. And it's fun to have young people taking the wheel and driving along empty streets yay *adrenalin rush*
Don't think u guys would see this but if you do, tyvvvvvvm for today even though you guys have crazy schedules ahead yet you guys head to Jamal's to talk at 1am which is rly awsm

My Facebook hanged in the best way possible. I whited out the irrelevant portions: 
We r the best gifts that the Pathlight teacher has ever received
☺☺☺☺
☺☺☺☺
Cheap thrills ttm

☁ I had a dream last night and it was the first time I dreamt that I cried and actually shed actual tears bc it seemed so real like I was actually dealing w that situation that involved my family and it wasn't the easiest thing to handle. It even had a coda that left a huge impression on me: to change the way I treat my family & I swore I would do it but idk life seemed normal as alws. The uncomfortable guilty sort of normal which I'm so dying to get out of. ☁

I can safely say I'm comfortable w all aspects of my life but this one thing that screws up my whole mojo ajajsjajakdfic

A solitary day

Gretchen Rubin's occurring phrase in her book is "Be Gretchen". Likewise, I was a Rebecca today and listened to my inner self. I enjoyed what I did, even if it was solitary and I didn't like to be alone before but the calmest moments come from an empty house and the occasional belting of tunes.

Wrote a few and sketched a few
Doing things for other people is pretty cathartic but all this while I've been procrastinating so hard ok now I will do some blogilates hahahahahahahah my life I am silently weeping (;- ;)

And found this:::;::::

for the rest of my day,

Revival of running

☺ Pumped up for my kicks ☺


Back then (three hours ago), I swore to myself these would be my new best friends. Then they started giving me blisters and my knees and leg/ankle divide started hurting so I'm not sure whether it's the vibrams soles or my running method or just the minimalist design 
Ok but screw all that, running is still the ultimate pleasure esp exploring new routes and I'm grateful that these shoes are pretty light ☀ so it'll make running long distances better and less arduous!!
Running will be my perpetual pleasure *psycho* and hopefully this will last til the end of my Uni stint. 

Thank you reebok zig zags affectionately known as bubblegum shoes my previous love you've served me well throughout JC heh heh through road runs and the crazy lucky heights runs during mass PE

Entering week three of guilt free eating. Really excited and actually, quite amazed by this feat. I usually go nuts over portion control, bc I cannot portion control. But good good food and an equally good mindset keeps everything in control
