Temperament observation

Over the years, I have evolved from being a super sanguine in my secondary school years, to a well-balanced person with equal amounts of all 4 temperament in my college years...


"Your temperant won't always be the same", was what Aunty Michele told us. It is very interesting to see how life pushes us to be the person we are now, and how we adapt to cope with life.

Today, I am a phlegmatic with a touch of 'sanguin'ity.


Harmonizer Pattern: Phlegmatic-Sanguine (S-I)

The Harmonizer is more friendly than the other Phlegmatics. They are very accepting and tolerant of others. This person is very accommodating and easy to be associated with in the work environment and as a friend. They need some social involvement. They are loyal, consistent and dependable. They will often work when they are ill. They are very independent minded and want to operate by themselves and set their own pace. They learn by doing. Once their mind is made up they will resist any other method of approach. They can do routine work but will need some activity during the day. They have a very difficult time saying no and will often take on more than they can do. They have a very pleasant, soft voice.


(Pleasant and soft voice my butt..).


I don't think I want to be this person, but I understand it is ideal at this point in time.


Who knows, I might be totally different next year.

This week

British Pot noodles...
...are DISGUSTING!!!

Spring make up collection...
...of Macs and Bobbi Browns

Consuming my collection of Pringles....
...while watching The Royal Wedding =)

Not forgetting Easter, the day of forgiveness and new life, the heart of Christianity.

Am blessed with the ability to forgive and forget, literally. A lesson learnt is to have all evidence terminated, as did Christ remove all our sins, and not to dwell on them.

So I ask for your forgiveness, for I have eliminated all evidence of your past and mine (literally, yet again). And I pray you have too.

Am composing this post as Prince Wills and HRH Kate ride in their horse-drawn carriage towards Buckingham Palace. What a day...

Dinner Menu 2

Now tell me...who doesn't enjoy food porn.

Every meal time, I sit in front of my PC, intoxicated by Nigel Slater, Heston Blumenthal, Jamie Oliver, the Hairy Bikers, Hugh Fearnly-Whittingstall or amateur Youtube cooks...and watch them do their THANG...Mm Hmmm...staring at their sexy blistered, hands massaging a piece of sirloin steak gets me going!

Korean Kimchi Soup
Obviously, not thoroughly authentic...Flavoured with fish stock and kimchi with some prawns, spinach and japanese tofu thrown in.

Roast beef Salad
Simply home roasted chunk of beef on a bed of store bought salad. I devour my meat with Jamaican raggae raggae sauce. Yah, man!
Honey Buns
Quite a success, if I do say so myself! Fluffy and moist sweetened lightly with a bit of honey.

Buns for my honey. I smiled a little.

Caving in...

Depression is taking its toll on me.

Often, little things amuse me. Cat strolling by, flowers blooming along the road side, blue skies, cooking, people watching, fat dogs...It doesn't take much to make me smile.

But that doesn't mean my life is peachy.

I have a friend who hates me to my guts and makes it her mission to inform people of my flaws behind my back.

My self proclaimed best friend easily abandons me for more popular people or for herself.

My college mates and M'sian friends are busy with their own lives.

My family back home are leading their lives without me.

The sole person I claim love from has no idea how to love me.

It's not like I haven't tried my best. I've turned my cheek and received a great deal of slaps. I've loved them as much as I love myself. I've offered everything I own to be used as their own.

It feels like I try so hard but I get nothing in return. Isn't love a basic human response?

Am I less important than a piece of exam? Am I just a tool until needed? Am I just a sideshow for the more anticipated main? Am I just plain unlovable and worthless to those around me?

If I could be in a state which I wouldn't care. If it could just happen now...quick and painless. If everything could just fade away.

Dinner Menu

French Onion Soup
Painstakingly sliced onions and caramelised onions, de-glazed with dry white wine and simmered in beef stock...Deliciously fragrant but onions could do with more caramelising.

Mini dinner rolls
Needs work...failed to produce the crispy crust I so adore and under seasoned.

Japanese Melon Pan (similar to HK bo lor bao)
Delish! Soft, milky flavoured buns (although a tad dry and could be fluffier) wrapped in a sweet, crispy pastry crust.


Cooking is my antidepressant, my relaxant, my LSD, my serotonin and dopamine stimulant... If only I could be better.
