went to christmas gathering despite my slight fever.. cos long time din have an econs gathering le.. this time round must really thank yanying for agreeing to hold the gathering at her place! the attendees are more of those whom i dun really hang out with in NUS hence its a good chance for more interaction.. dun think its good to always hang out w e same old grp of ppl, i believe in moderation.. lol.. n as a gathering, who can forget abt food? initially vern the food IC was quite worried abt e food supply but in e end, e supply >> demand! think e guys all scared that there isnt enuff food to go ard so they went to stock food up =P
unlike last yr gathering, this yr i suppose its bcos of poorer attendance and no one has a concrete plan of activities, its a rather quiet event.. just some games and cracking of jokes..
but the "highlight" of the gathering is e blackjack session *heez* played all e way till 2+ to 3am.. each of us take turns to be broker.. n i realise that one must sieze the chance as a broker cos tt's when u earn big bucks! but tt will also nids to depend on kwee lim's luck.. he is quite lucky, a few times he got 21 points w just 2 cards!! speechless.. nevertheless, i have e feel that almost all earn when he/she is broker (din get a chance to get broker, shitto). however, good luck is not a permanent feature in such sessions.. one loses all e $$ he earns when he is a broker to another person!! if i were him, i will be damn sian lor.. but at e veri least, its not ur own 'capital' so its still all rite..
after playing for ard 3 hrs, did i gain or lose? frankly speaking i dunno leh.. =P shuold be a little gain, too negligible to take note.. lol.. but im also not e kind of person that will gamble big cos i know in e LR, one will sure lose one..
*anyway think i better dun post the photos here if not e gamblers may land in trouble.. haha*
n meanwhile im still recovering... never mess up ur health.. its realli no joke..
realli think my body is giving me a big warning this time round.. cough turns better initially but taking a downturn.. then as if this is not enough, sore throat n fever are raging their ugly heads... shitto... shdnt go for appt when im sick.. realli need to take a good long break...
Right Brain (52%) The right hemisphere is the visual, figurative, artistic, and intuitive side of the brain. Left Brain (52%) The left hemisphere is the logical, articulate, assertive, and practical side of the brain
*results won't usually add up to 100% as this test measures each side seperately
Left brain dominant individuals are more orderly, literal, articulate, and to the point. They are good at understanding directions and anything that is explicit and logical. They can have trouble comprehending emotions and abstract concepts, they can feel lost when things are not clear, doubting anything that is not stated and proven.
Right brain dominant individuals are more visual and intuitive. They are better at summarizing multiple points, picking up on what's not said, visualizing things, and making things up. They can lack attention to detail, directness, organization, and the ability to explain their ideas verbally, leaving them unable to communicate effectively.
Overall you appear to have fairly Equal Hemispheres
-----------------------------------------
According to Darwinian theory, optimal evolution takes place with random variation and selective retention. The evolution savvy individual will try many different approaches when faced with a problem and select the best of those approaches. Many historical intellectuals have confessed their advantage was simply considering/exploring/trying more approaches than others. The left brain dominant type suffers from limited approaches, narrow-mindedness. The right brain dominant type suffers from too many approaches, scatterbrained. To maintain balanced hemispheres, you need to exercise both variability and selection. Just as a company will have more chance of finding a great candidate by increasing their applicant pool, an individual who considers a wider set of options is more likely to make quality decisions.
Your Brain Usage Profile:
Auditory : 50% Visual : 50% Left : 57% Right : 42%
Jun, you are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant with a balanced preference for auditory and visual inputs. Because of your "centrist" tendencies, the distinctions between various types of brain usage are somewhat blurred.
Your tendency to be organized and logical and attend to details is reasonably well-established which should afford you success regardless of your chosen field of endeavor, unless it requires total spontaneity and ability to improvise, your weaker traits. However, you are far from rigid or overcontrolled. You possess a degree of individuality, perceptiveness, and trust in your intuition to function at much more sophisticated levels than most.
Having given sufficient attention to detail, you can readily perceive the larger aspects and implications of a situation or of learning. You are functional and practical, but can blend abstraction and theory into your framework readily.
The equivalence of your auditory and visual learning orientation gives you two equally effective sensory input systems, each with distinctive features. You can process both unidimensionally and multidimen- sionally with equal facility. When needed, you sequence material while at other times you "intake it all" and store it for processing later.
Your natural ability to use your senses is also synthesized in your way of learning. You can be reflective in your approach, absorbing material in a non-aggressive manner, and at other times voracious in seeking out stimulation and experience.
Overall you tend to be somewhat more critical of yourself than is necessary and avoid enjoying life too much because of a sense of duty. You feel somewhat constrained and tend to sometimes restrict your expressiveness. In any given situation, you will opt for the rational, and learning of almost any type should be easy for you. You might need certain ideas explained to you in order to fit them into your scheme of things, but you're at least open to that!
went to do a bit of shopping with my family just now.. realise tt i din realli have e urge n desire to shop non stop..
perhaps e clothes this season is not realli my cup of tea.. or perhaps i haven go thro e shops in greater detail to discover potential gem(s)..
but i do have e tendency to shop for accessories, not earrings and necklaces anymore but more towards bags, shoes n watches.. right now set my sight on a few branded watches.. decide to pamper myself after last month record income.. =D die, really know how to spend money.. esp when i just spent quite a bit on a digi cam..
but still cant bear to part my monies to buy a CK watch yet.. its just too ex.. wld rather go Japan and buy one or two more Burberry Blu bags home.. lol.. realli pei fu those who can buy such watches without batting an eyelid.. for me, luxurious also have a limit.. beyond tt i will think its a waste of money..
now my sis asking me to buy a Gucci watch for her.. *faint* realli dunno how to educate her in the finance arena.. not tt she is an utter spendthrift, just that she has her own soft spots and will tend not to think twice before buying.. & she is also very brand concious.. tts wat tt got me worried.. any good money manager ard to take over this case? =P
after months of neglecting the study room, i finally set today to clear as much stuff as possible.. n boy, only do i realise how mani stuff/rubbish ive accumulated over just 2-3 months.. right now the room is in a more decent state though there is still room for improvement.. but decide to leave it to other days before i faint due to hunger and fatigue.. lol..
n finally did a headcount of the num of accessories i have.. nearly fainted.. JN realli made a wise decision by pulling me away from accessories stall whenever we shop together.. has a whopping close to 40 pairs of earrings and over 10 necklaces (including the ones recently bought by my sis in Taiwan) and several baraclets.. dun dare to calculate how much do i spend on them.. okay la, din realli throw these money into e drain as i wear earrings everyday.. its just the necklace and braclets that has been sitting pretty in my drawer.. but if onli i used these money to more efficient use.. =P gals will always be gals right?? hee..
