I'M A POSTCROSSER





i was going through some blogs from foreign countries when i stumbled into one nice blog and the owner of the blog mentioned something about post crossing. i checked it out and found out that is a project is that allows people to receive postcards from all over the world.I personally think it's fun and i love receiving mails (albeit the bills ok!) and i remember how i enjoyed receiving letters and postcards from my aunt who was studying in Warwick years ago and an ol' pal who's currently residing in Texas. 

So i signed up, and the 1st postcard i need to send to (in order to start the circle of receiving postcards from other people from around the globe) is to a young lady named Lore and she lives in Curitiba, Southern Brazil. A little bit about her that she provides in her profile :


********
Hey!!!
Hi! My name is Lore. I live in Curitiba, Southern Brazil.

My postcard preferences are:
- Art & Architecture;
- City skyline;
- Airplanes;
- Ships;
- Horses;
- Anything related to World Rally Championship;
- Snoopy by Charles Schulz(
i love snoopy too!);
- Nocturnal views;
- Natural phenomena (northern lights, thunderstorms, parhelia etc);
- Scenic/historic;
- UFO's/mysteries(
wonder if we have those kind of postcards here);
- Windmills, Lighthouses, Dams (especially arch dams);
- Canyons and other natural geographic features;
- Adansonia or Acacia species;
- Mythology (Norse/Scandinavian, Egyptian, Greek, Inca etc);
- Big postcards or postcards which doesn't have regular dimensions;
- Stars, space, astronomy.
- Anyway, take a look at my favorite postcards session to have an idea of what kind of postcards I like! =D
I prefer postcards written on and stamped (with no envelope) and I am really crazy about nice stamps from your country!
Please remember those are just some of my wishes!! I love to receive all kinds of cards! But SRSLY PLEASE, don't send me cards of advertising (unless it's a very cool one)! :D
Thank you and Happy Postcrossing!

Yes, I am addicted to apples. specifically red apples, crunchy and huge (but sometimes the small ones are vewy2 good too!)i used to have an apple a day (it did kept the doctors away..) 
but up until recently, i suddenly needed an apple for breakfast, lunch and dinner! but the good thing is, eventhough my breakfast usually fits for a king, my lunch and dinner are well, maybe something Merlin and Gaius would normally have. (they don't reallyt eat much, don't they?)

oh noooo. it's not what u think it is.
hahaha. i can assure it's not because of THAT!

i just happen to fall in love with this fruit that actually originated from ASIA!that's all..

my reward for being a good girl (bluek!).
YES, it's half price ^_^

while the lad is drawn to the latest news..

the lass laughed her heart out at the 'Wife' ho ho


then we 'fought' the heavy pour to pay some bills..

B likes to collect brochures which I ended up reading for him.
You need to read more lah, sayang!

Went to KWSP to settle B's proshop matters.
I need a new IC coz mine cannot use at this kiosk.Cip sudah rosak lor.hish!

I saw this movie at one of the computer shoppe we went in, and fall in love with it. I googled and it was a movie shown in cinemas(maybe) way in 2005. Tickled me so much so while showing Shane (B's colleague) around WK,we tried to find it. Tapi nda' jumpa bah!

H-O-M-E = SUNDAY!

hehe
.i love going places, but home is still my favorite place to be.

i did more blogwalking today. More interesting stuff to be found, interesting people with interesting characters, real life stories, i laugh here, cried a few tears there, agree with some, unfortunately disagree with others (but i choose not to argue, they have their right to wrong/right opinions..)

glad i found your blog, Farie and i especially like your entry (well, i haven't been able to finish going through everything but so far i most like..-->) on the X-Rays.
my reaction: YIKES!

she did this test on personalities, IQ (i love personality tests, remember?)

and so i did mine..



My Personality
Neuroticism
58
Extraversion
51
Openness to Experience
75
Agreeableness
57
Conscientiousness
18







You do not experience strong, irresistible cravings and consequently do not find yourself tempted to overindulge, however you are not generally self conscious about yourself. You generally make friends easily enough although you mostly don't go out of your way to demonstrate positive feelings toward others. You are a moderately imaginative person who enjoys a good balance between the real world and fantasy. You are tenderhearted and compassionate, feeling the pain of others vicariously and are easily moved to pity. You are guarded in new relationships and less willing to openly reveal the whole truth about yourself. You are not an overly cautious person.  You will think about alternatives and consequences but make up your mind fairly quickly.


warning: these are the detailed descriptions from the test. 
quite long.
pictureless. ^_^ 


**my neuroticism
You feel tense, jittery, and nervous and often feel like something dangerous is about to happen. You may be afraid of specific situations or be just generally fearful. You feel enraged when things do not go your way. You are sensitive about being treated fairly and feel resentful and bitter if you think you are being cheated. Mostly your emotions are on an even keel and you do not get depressed easily. You are not generally self conscious about yourself. You do not experience strong, irresistible cravings and consequently do not find yourself tempted to overindulge. High levels of stress can lead to you feeling panic or confusion, but usually you cope with day to day pressures. 



 **my extraversion
You generally make friends easily enough although you mostly don't go out of your way to demonstrate positive feelings toward others. You like crowds but sometimes feel overwhelmed by them. Sometimes you feel like you need some privacy and time for yourself. You are an active group participant but usually prefer to let someone else be the group leader. You lead a moderately paced life. You like some energetic activities, but also like to relax and take it easy. You enjoy some excitment and risk taking in your life. You have a generally cheerful disposition.

**my openess to experience
You are a moderately imaginative person who enjoys a good balance between the real world and fantasy. You love beauty, both in art and in nature. Sometimes you become easily involved and absorbed in artistic and natural events. You have good access to and awareness of your own feelings. Familiar routines are good, but sometimes you like to spice up your life with a bit of adventure or activity. As a person who is open-minded to new and unusual ideas, you love to play with and think about ideas. You also like to debate intellectual issues and often enjoy riddles, puzzles and brain teasers. You like the security of tradition, but sometimes have a desire to bend the rules and challenge conventional thinking.

**my agreeableness
You mostly assume that people are honest and fair, however you are wary and hold back from trusting people completely. You believe that a certain amount of deception in social relationships is necessary. You are guarded in new relationships and less willing to openly reveal the whole truth about yourself. You find helping other people genuinely rewarding and are generally willing to assist those who are in need. You find that doing things for others is a form of self-fulfillment rather than self-sacrifice. You do not enjoy confrontation, but you will stand up for yourself or push your point if you feel it is important. You are willing to take credit for good things that you do but you don't often talk yourself up much. You are tenderhearted and compassionate, feeling the pain of others vicariously and are easily moved to pity.

**my conscientiousness
Often you do not feel effective, and may have a sense that you are not in control of your life. You are a reasonably organized person and like to have a certain amount of routine in your life. You find contracts, rules, and regulations overly confining and are sometimes seen as unreliable or even irresponsible by others. Mostly you work towards achieving your best, although in some areas you are content just to get the job done. You find yourself procrastinating and show poor follow-through on tasks. Often you fail to complete tasks - even tasks that you want very much to complete. You are not an overly cautious person. You will think about alternatives and consequences but make up your mind fairly quickly.

Nay's VW:hmmm..**nodding~

I didn't put any title for this coz i simply wanna share what i found while blogwalking..
(am still b-walking, watch out i might be in neighborhood SOON ^_^)

Firman Allah S.W.T 
"Barangkali kamu benci tehadap sesuatu perkara yg telah Kutetapkan untuk mu,sedangkan perkara itu lebih baik untuk kamu,cuma kamu tidak mengetahui"

there are a lot of things to blob about, but i am still exhausted..

later, yes? ^_^

SICK? NO FUN AT ALL

I woke earlier in the morning with a much hesitation. my head was throbbing.it's been 2 weeks since i last had them after i went for some alternative treatment session ( it did helped coz it is quite rare that i don't have headache in a week at all..especially when i need to be in a room with air condition too long**sigh). my P for the month just ended yesterday and i was so glad this month's P was not accompanied with the usual headache. a slight cramp, but i lived.

how sad it was for me to wake up this morning tot be greeted with a strong jolt at one side of the head. yes, i was once told it was migrain, and live life believing i have one. but only recently i was told that if it is migraine, i would experience headache continuously, but mine usually stops after 4-5 hours and starts again the next day and stops again for 3-4 days and comes again, sometimes at the worst of hours (in the middle of a meeting, while teaching presentation and sometimes while DRIVING too!). 

if it is not migraine, what it is then?

i am suspected with an 'alien' thing in my womb, which is causing all the headaches, body aching all over, fatigue & lack of motivation (yes, i do sound like i am a healthy person, ad i am pretty active and energetic, but i guess it's true sometimes, well, OK more than sometimes, i just feel like lying down in bed all day long and do nothing)  and it has been there for quite some time now. 

i never really had bad cramps or bad bleeding or anything to indicate i have something bad going on in me. but now, i can feel it. the lump is there. (no wonder sometimes my tummy gets so tense. 

and i remember  at times, people thought my tummy looked 'preggie' :i simply thought i had one too many burgers!)i have problem with my blood which might cause all this. i was dumbfounded and speechless, but i managed to digest everything and started planning. i talked to b and we decided to go for extensive checkups next week, hoping to be referred to a specialist.

i don;t know what to expect from the doctors. but certainly hope no surgeries or 'you only have X years/months/weeks' kinda news. Oh God, please don't. not now.

thte headahce is still here and it's getting worse than it was this afternoon. but i couldn't sleep. i tried switching off the lights leaving the light outside the room to'accompany' me, but it only made me suffocate (usually i was OK with that). i washed down some pills to help with the body-ache but the headache stays.

i figured i continue with some unfinished ANOVA (a familyt friend needed help with her thesis. i promimsed i'd help.kesian pulak kalau tidak siap kan?) but the numbers had made me wanna vomit.

funny, blogs kept a bit of the pain away. only a bit but it's better than nothing,right? i choose to b-walk and go for fun and laughable (not mock, just laugh at those funny entries) ones. 

LAUGHTER IS ONE OF THE BEST MEDICINE,yes?

CANNOT..FOR NOW~

I just finish browsing the Internet looking for job vacancies, found a few that suits me and applied right away. Only one company (so near to B's pro shop, hoping to get that job.^_^) required me to send resume via mail, will send it tomorrow. it's easier when we can just e-mail our resumes these days. 

B told me we need to be very thrifty starting this month since there are lotsa bills to pay between us, and we need to save up some more for the W. There are a few 'setbacks' in the process of making sure the W is on schedule, and more $$$ and time and energy need to be given 'extra effort'. 

Dugaan..
So, for now B said we have to sacrifice : NO movies, NO JJCM (huh, i was just about to plan for some JJCM for the A-day this Saturday. there's this eating spot we'd always wanted to go but always fail to do so. **sigh).  i notice he stopped buying his favorite mags, less of his ciggies too. He's determined & I am forver grateful for that ^_^

I wanted to tell B, can we at least go celebrate A-Day somewhere, you know a quick dinner, or maybe get takeouts & go to our favorite 'Bay' (the sunset is incredible there), but he seemed determined to just celebrate it 'domestically'. haish. He said;

"After all is settled, we can go anywhere you want. London, even". 

LONDON?!

Should i succumb to it or is London just a matter-of-speech? or he just blurt out the first name of place that comes into mind. I never told him directly how i'd always wanted to go to London (we're both craZee about Korea!) but...

hah,daydreaming lagi!

About the sunset..


nice, yes?

**1st year annivesary gift element is Paper. what to give ya?

TEAR-JERKER MOMENT

I ended my 34 days service as the substitute teacher earlier today, and said goodbye to those Year 2 rugrats after the school end. we gathered in the school library since I was also substituting the Media Teacher. i figured it was a good thing to that i missed our class together, it would be hard to say goodbye after teaching them for the last time. i can't cry in front of them. i definitely sure i would, and can bet on my pinky finger, some of them would cry too. I had ups and downs with them, especially they are running high on sugar and started goofing around instead of focusing on the tasks i give them. But, i have to admit, this bunch did touched my heart. mo then they should, i tell you. **sigh..

I have to admit, work was not all fun and smooth while i was there, but I managed to survived. the fun part of it was I get to be in the library almost all the time. i love books. being surrounded with books, smell of them greeting me in the morning just warms my heart.


(the blog was on purpose..lol)
apart from the books, this is one of my fav spot. 
nice mural, yes?

When we had some impromptu photo moments (i was not in any of the pics coz no one else was there to help me with the camera) and i did asked for their emails, some of them came up to and hold my hand and asked me not to leave. two girls even hugged me and repeatedly say they love me. aawwww..i almost cried, tears were at the brim, but i hold back, and managed not to. we said our goodbye, a bit to hastily on my side, but they were rushing to be catch up with their parents who's picking them up too.

some even gave me their email address so I can add them in FB (Year 2 already have FB,you..hi hi)..

i promised them i'll be in school tomorrow, somewhere in the afternoon coz I still need to settle some paperworks. They wanted to, coz they said they have some presents for me. aawwww..

i'm gonna miss those bunch. i really will. i don't know how long would our 34 days (well, less actually minus the school holidays and a few days of PH, Sports Day, etc) memories would last with them..but i'm hoping if the ever bumped into me when they are much older, they would still remember me. it would be fun to reminisce. ^_^
