i need a life... :p.. and i think its time to clean the house..

Where I am NOW...

this is rather accurate.. but i shan't tell you the bits that are and those that are not.. :P

Your Existing Situation

Willing and adaptable. Only at peace when closely attached to a person, group, or organization on a which reliance can be placed.

Your Stress Sources

The tenacity and strength of will necessary to contend with existing difficulties has become weakened. Feels overtaxed, worn out, and getting nowhere, but continues to stand her ground. She feels this adverse situation as an actual tangible pressure which is intolerable to her and from which she wants to escape, but she feels unable to make the necessary decision.

Your Restrained Characteristics

Conditions are such that she will not let herself become intimately involved without making mental reservations.

Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity. :O

Your Desired Objective

Has exaggerated demands on life which are concealed behind specious rationalization and cautious behavior. Wishes to impress others with her achievements, but camouflages this desire and is inclined to be covert.

Your Actual Problem

Failure to establish herself in a manner consonant with her own high opinion of her worth, combined with the continued effort to prove herself with inadequate resources, have resulted in considerable stress. Tries to escape from these excessive demands on her meager reserves by adopting a defensive attitude in which she refuses to be committed, or to be involved in further unpleasantness.

The Swift

yesterday, on my way home from work, a sweet little red car on the opposite side of the road suddenly caught my eye. it caught my attention because it looked like the kind of car that i would love to drive...

it was cute, sporty, zippy, yet not a "oh-i'm-so-cute-don't-u-love-me" wannabe like that.. urgh.. Nissan March - RETCH..!!!!

but i couldn't see what model it was because i could only see the side of it.. it was PERFECT... i craned my neck as my car was held back by the red light, trying hard to see if i could see the car model stated at the back of the car...

then when i finally inched forward enough to see it, it turned out to be .....

EXACTLY THE SAME CAR I AM ALREADY DRIVING NOW!!

HAHAHAHAHahaha... :">



an unexpectedly bimbotic moment ... :p...

gonna go for a roadtrip soon with my OWN little red car!! yippeee!! :)

Sipadan Reefs damaged

i gasped at the extent of the damage and couldn't speak for a while.. i didn't know whether to grieve more for nature, or for the stupidity of mankind... :'( ... how much longer must nature suffer at the hands of those who do not care?

"Sipadan - Tragic Incident." By Antonella Ferrari. FiNS blog, 16th May 2006.

Excerpt -

"An enormous steel barge carrying thousands of tonnes of coarse gravel, sand, steel tubes, iron mesh, prime movers, a large bulldozer and a gigantic crane, which had incredibly been allowed to anchor right in front of Sipadan's legendary dropoff before unloading its cargo on the supposedly protected island was pushed against the reef by wind, ending up beached on the island like some monstrous whale.

In the process of being beached, the barge scraped clean thousands of years of nature's delicate work between the old pier and Barracuda Point. The barge's flat steel hull wiped corals away like a giant knife slicing through butter, leaving in its wake hundreds of square metres of unnaturally flat limestone, and a veritable wall of coral and debris piled up against the beach."
