haven't done an online quiz in a while...and you all know how i love those.
well found this one on Cho's blog.

here are my results:

Connie, you exhibit an even balance between left- and right- hemisphere dominance and a slight preference for visual over auditory processing. With a score this balanced, it is likely that you would have slightly different results each time you complete this self-assessment quiz.

You are a well-rounded person, distinctly individualistic and artistic, an active and multidimensional learner. At the same time, you are logical and disciplined, can operate well within an organization, and are sensitive towards others without losing objectivity. You are organized and goal-directed. Although a "thinking" individual, you "take in" entire situations readily and can act on intuition.

You sometimes tend to vacillate in your learning styles. Learning might take you longer than someone of equal intellect, but you will tend to be more thorough and retain the material longer than those other individuals. You will alternate between logic and impulse. This vacillation will not normally be intentional or deliberate, so you may experience anxiety in situations where you are not certain which aspect of yourself will be called on.

With a slight preference for visual processing, you tend to be encompassing in your perceptions, process along multidimensional paths and be active in your attacking of situations or learning.

Overall, you should feel content with your life and yourself. You are, perhaps, a little too critical of yourself -- and of others -- while maintaining an "openness" which tempers that tendency. Indecisiveness is a problem and your creativity may not be in keeping with your potential. Being a pragmatist, you downplay this aspect of yourself and focus on the more immediate, obvious and the more functional

haven't really thought what this all means, just kinda skimmed it...of course the real reason i'm posting it is just coz it's long and i can say i posted a long update with minimal thinking/typing.
but at initial skimming it seems to say i am slow, judegemental, indecisive and not creative enough?...hm...

everyone's posting these mass updates, so i guess it's my turn...plus someone said if i didn't, he'd call me daily to yell at me...i guess that's not horrible, since some phone calls (even hate ones) are better than the no phone calls i'm getting now (oh yeah simon calls, but he doesn't count =P )

but yes i will be keeping this short, since 1) my life's not all that exciting and 2) my fingers are a little sore (refer to update item #4)
so here goes:

1) comments on my last post...

for those of you who were worried, don't worry simon's still alive an kicking...i did not poison him with my over boiling congee. for those who had wished otherwise...i'm sorry to disappoint...hehe
but yes i just felt the need to clarify...i'm not a horrible cook or anything...i can cook many yummy things...i just sometimes forget i'm cooking it and they turn not so yummy...but once again, the congee was good...really....


2) operation blue dress

.....has failed...that is all...


3) grossness

meant to post this one up when i happened, but i got lazy...
so usually i have a conflict with my class on fridays and i go to the other class...but the prof promised to give us tips and guidelines for our marketing report.
so i go to this class for the first time all semester thinking it'd be worth it, but the prof just hands out the assignment...which is posted on the website anyways. so i am sitting there quite feeling like i just wasted my time...and i feel something on m head. i thought at first it was one of my dumb friends throwing stuff at me (you think they'd be mature enough to have grown out of that, but no they aren't), so i turn around and look and there's no one i know behind me. i am all confused and even more annoyed with the class.
then i feel it on my head again...so i look up this time...and there dangling off the edge of the balcony right on top of me is a pair of dripping boots.
URGH that's what i get for going to class...grrr


4) pluck pluck pluck

in another one of attempts to not be the only asian i know who doesn't play any kind of musical intrument, i am trying to learn to play the guitar.
i hope this does not turn out like my weak attempt at learning to play drums which left me with still no rhythm and nothing but bruises on my legs.
but yes i have borrowed a guitar to practice on and now know enough chords to play lord i lift your name on high and hosanna...which i play all day long...if i were living with anyone but rosey i'd probably have had my head torn off ten times by now...seriously if i weren't playing them i'd be horribly annoyed as well..coz i say i know them, but that doesn't mean i play them very well...
thank goodness rosey really isn't a tear your head of kinda girl =P, plus she has a tendency to play songs on repeat for days.
but yes if i practice very very hard, i might actually have a talent...if only my fingers would stop throbbing....


5) loving one another

that was the theme of our ACF winter retreat last weekend. first of all can't believe it was my last ACF winter retreat. been to seven of these things, and honestly i have learned so much from each and everyone of them. and each year is different, as ACF grows and older ones leave and the frosh come it. it's been such an amazing journey.
but yes loving one another...seems such the christian cliche, but when you really think about God's love for his people there is so much more.
this weekend when God showed His love to His people, doubt, fear, pride and bitterness were brought to light, and in its place came conviction, forgiveness, grace and joy. and when the walls are all torn down, and you look at the people around you, each created in God's own image and loved by God, you realized there is nothing you can do but love them.
it is truly truly amazing.
right now i am at a loss for words...i will write more later.

pretending to be the good caring girlfriend that i am so obviously NOT, i decided to make some congee for the sick boy...but being the extremely forgetful person that i am, i got distracted by leno and left my little concoction there on the stove to boil over.
no worries tho, i don't think i'll poison him coz the congee escaped unharmed...but my stovetop is now completely covered with a starchy layer of ricey water that's just kinda caked on...yum! *sigh*...my poor stove top...and *double sigh*...poor me who now needs to go scrub it...

another Christmas and New Year's gone by...was much the usual family friends and food...and of course the annual holiday 5 pound weight gain...man at this rate if i love long enough i'll hit sumo size. but yes this time my friends decided that since it's our last year we should all go to the charity ball...which means that blue dress i bought that fit just right two summers (ie two christmas breaks and about a zillion pounds) ago needs to be able to zip by January 31st...sigh don't think that will ever happen...as i gobble down a bowl of chocolate fudge icecream =P
hm i wonder if a potato sack counts and formal wear.

but yes fat jokes about me aside, it's that beginning of the year time when you kinda look back at the past year and ahead at things to come...no resolutions or anything like that, but just thinking how much God's been working in me and around me. Last year was an amazing year, was hard at times but i am really really thankful for everything that's happened and everyone who's been a part of it.

well, this year starts the last semester of my university experience (or so i hope) i have no clue what to expect after all this...a little bit nervous, but also a little bit excited. but yes before i start thinking about the rest of my life, i do have to rest of the semester to deal with...and many many more nights in the lab. i assure you will all be hearing lots more about that =P
