    Identity Crisis : Identity Restructuring

    hav u ever wonder if u suffer from identity crisis at certain points in life ?  i tink most people do suffer from that at different point in life just that they did not realise it was actually identity crisis .. how would you define an identity crisis ?
     
    "Are you unsure of your role in life? Do you feel like you don't know the 'real you'? If you answer yes to the previous questions, you may be experiencing an identity crisis. Theorist Erik Erikson coined the term identity crisis and believed that it was one of the most important conflicts people face in development. According to Erikson, an identity crisis is a time of intensive analysis and exploration of different ways of looking at oneself." (Identity Crisis - Theory and Research : http://psychology.about.com/od/theoriesofpersonality/a/identitycrisis.htm)
     
    i feel that i do suffer from identity crisis .. at different phases in life    ... i'm still getting to know myself (the real me) more by constant exploration n evaluating my identity and trying to fit into the best identity i can uphold ... it's good to know urself so u can adjust ur role can complement when u r in the group .. it wil help us to control ourselves better n not get agitated when people r not moving at the same wave .. i fall into an identity crisis at times when a new group occur or when it comes to an entirely different group settings .. this is where i'll observe .. given a certain of period of time n try to see how i could adjust myself .. it could be quite stressful at times .. it can be super fast to fit in n sometimes it may take a longer period of time ..
     
    the role we take at different phases in life changes more often than not ... this is where identity crisis sets in n work things out for u .. identity crisis is not a bad thing if being done well .. it could be beneficial .. this is where u know how much u can take n how far u can push urself ...  if u r able to identify urself fast enough .. the more ready for u to take on ur next role .. some roles in life u can't change it in an instant ... constant evaluating n trying mite help in long run .. it do caused mental blockages when u try to hard .. u'll be so exhausted n the exploration phase will juz be stagnant n will die off ... this will sometimes or not affect u in a group .. i have sometimes not done it particularly well myself too ... most of the time it caused mental exhaustion .. then when i regain back the notion then i will push it again until i reach the point where i know what n how i wanna do ... the one i had now hav been many months .. n i do hope i grasp the role i wanna be in soon .. i do admit i'm sometimes i'm so exhausted by it ... i'll end up sitting down quiet n n drift away not thinking bout it ... but i believe that i will be able to define the role i wanna play soon ... i believe that God will have a role for me ... n all these r the lessons in life that i will need to pick up to be ready for my future n eternity ... i also pray that God will gimme the patience n endurance to withstand the lessons i'm gonna take in life ~

    cakes, desserts n chocolates that that have a touch of coffee r my favourites ... especially tiramisu ~ they r the 'die-die-must-try & muz eat' food for me .... crazy huh ? hehe ... arghhh .. making me hungry already ...

    the flu bug juz caught me ... watery eyes, sniffing n ah chooing ... looking like a drug addict now ... n took away quite abit of my concentration ... dun wanna do much of the thinking  now ... so decide to drop a few words here ... getting back to my excel stuff ... arghhh ..

    cny ??

    it's another saturday .. nearing to CNY  ~ this is the quietest CNY i have ever seen ... i tink the major impact of this 'quiet-no-celebration-mood' was partly due to the weather hazards that have caused overnite flood to places like Kota Tinggi, Segamat and etc. i symphatise those who can't celebrate their CNY as their houses r totally ruin by the flood ...

    i tink the ambiance that malls need to have will also serve as a mood lifter to shoppers ... even so .. there is not much of crowd ...i dun see many oranges this year too .. not much greeting cards ... the whole cny's atmosphere ... if rated on a scale of 10 ~ it's juz 3 .. maybe ~

    going back to KL for my cny celebration .. will be there on fri ~ yea ~ going to see my new nephew (actually is my cousin's baby) ... he should be quite a darling at home ~ being the baby in the family bet he's getting most of the attention  now .. juz can't wait ~ haven't even clean up my house .. gosh .. gonna be a busy busy week ... putting up the decorations n etc ... arrggghhh ~

    it's such a bore to work on saturdays ... it's a total waste of time n it's not cost inefficient at all ~ what can u say unless dad owns the company,rite ?? even so .. do u get the privilege ~

    eyes r closing ~ too bored ~ arrghhh ~

    leave u all to this .. enjoy da weekends ~ u all ...

    tiramisu, japanese buffet, neway n love @ 1st note ... what more can u ask for ??

    spend my weekends in kl ... pretty long break ... in fact i juz got back yesterday late nite ... was tiring ... having to go to work the very next morning ... but the entire trip was fun ... having lots to do n lots to eat ... definitely set my weight pointer towards the right side of the scale ... gosh, so so guilty ... but da tiramisu cake was too nice n yummy to resist n the hot, crispy, juz-came-out-of-the-oil tempura make u stand there drooling ... n ya sashimi .... nice n fresh ... juz can't get enough of it ... juz so so so full by juz eating all dat ... hehe ... 4 of us (me, mei, MY n bro) can't really move after all those ... hehehe
     
    then b4 that we had our k-session @ One Utama's NEWAY whole 3 hrs ... juz pick the songs till it went to the max (64 songs) hehehee ... wasn't that well located ... we had to go from the escalator from the cinema floor ... then pass through the games arcade by following the put-up signs ... gosh .. one thing that juz threw people off ... i tink ... coz we were running late ... then One Utama was super huge ... we lost our way at 1st (which caused the rush) we went all the way up to Level 5 as told ... n there was only the car parking machine (sigh sigh sigh) ... then make calls to neway so they won't give the room out to people ... but was fun having da time to be wif be wif my 2 sis n bro ... was great time n fun ~
     
    also, i also watch the movie ~ 戀愛初歌 Luen Oi Choh Goh ~ starring Justin Lo, Alex Fong & Kary ... was a simple show wif alot of songs n singers in it ... quite a good show (for me) as i like the songs in it especially the one sung by Justin n Alex ... here's the synopsis of the show extrated from http://asianfanatics.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t271359.html ~ the official website for the show http://www.loveatfirstnote.com/ ( the website have got the caption / parts of the song ) juz have to click on the musical notes n u can listen to it .. songs featured in the show is nice ... go hav a listen ~ u r gonna like it ~
     
    ~~ the world of young music lovers, rich guy Tony (Alex Fong) and other young music lovers greatly admires a group called "橫店銀蠅 Wang Dim Ngan Ying". Tony is infatuated with music and hopes to join the group but the members in the group are also wealthy. They despise Tony and thinks they don't need him in their world. The group leader Jack and Tony owns a store that sells bootleg albums. Then there is a lonely, sad girl Kary (Kary Ng). She lives in a self-sealed world and the only thing she has is her guitar and a guy friend who grew up with her, Siu Kei (Justin). Siu Kei is an unsucessful school boy and works at his mom's clothes store. The only thing he has is a voice that can move others, but he does not know that. Jack has asked Kary out numerous times, but was rejected. Kary crushes on handsome Tony but she knows that Tony and her are from two different worlds. She understands that it is impossible to have any development between them two.

    Instead Tony revealed his love to Kary day after day. After Siu Kei gave up, they were finally together. Under Tony's invitation, Kary agreed to go to the party at his house with a beautiful appearance. The two of them ended up in a quiet room, ready to have their intimate time. Tony acts strangely and she realizes that this is just a plot. Jack ridicules Kary in front of everyone. From the time they met to their relationship, it has all been arranged by Jack for revenge. In order for Tony to join the group, he has betrayed Kary. Being extremely sad, Kary leaves the party. Siu Kei stays by Kary's side to comfort her and Siu Kei had always been crushing on Kary. Tony extremely regrets his behaviors since he didn't get to join the group afterall. But everything is already too late and can't be undone. Under Siu Kei's arrangement, Kary forgives Tony. The three of them establishes a new friendship.

    Receiving the 2006 Best New Group Award is 橫店銀蠅's biggest dream. Tony hopes to establish their own three-people group to beat 橫店銀蠅 to take revenge for Kary. The competition carries on intensely and the three-people group miracuously gets to enter the finals. With Siu Kei's voice, Tony the producer and lyricist, and Kary's guitar, they were able to win 橫店銀蠅. After winning the competition, Siu Kei leaves without confessing his love to Kary. He wanted the prince and the princess to live a happy life. Kary goes to find Siu Kei on the streets and realizes that she has already fallen in love with him. ~~

    the truth behind da panda eyes phenomenon ~

     
    been a awesome break ... dat cooked up the panda eyes in me ... went to work today really really drained ... i had a cup of coffee in the morning but the caffeine din even get to me ... still feeling yucky & really really sleepy ~ *yawn~yawn*
     
    tell u why ~~
     
    went to kukup for the raya holidays ... din sleep the whole nite thru ...
     
    we went fr the ever famous card game n 'never to be missed on group outings' ~ 'chor dai dee' or simply call it Big2 to mahjong (all amateurs, dun even know how to calculate 'fan' aka points which carries earnings, kekeke  we almost kill carrie wif the loads of question on 'fan' ... i tink that's how it get its name; 'fan' is a cantonese word which means irritating/vexed)
     
    next, card game with alot of suspense ~ to explain : card is given faced down to every member in the circle, then at a count of 3 ... pick up the card n place on ur forehead or juz simply hold the card (not looking at it ~ only others r able to see ur card) ... every member take turns to pour beer at any amount into a glass ... trusting that their card has a higher or greater value ... then when everyone is done pouring ...  they r suppose to put their cards down on the floor faced up disclosing the number on their card ... the one wif the least value will have to finished up the beer in the glass or glasses ... luckily luck didn't went tough on me that nite ... i only had a glass ...
     
    then went on to another game which battle the dare-devil in u (hmm ... making it sound so extreme, keke) ~ burning holes to a sheet of tissue while it withstands the weight of a 20 cents coin ... whoever drops the coin will hav a full glass of beer .. anyone thirsty ~ hehehe  ... i bet some of us r ... ehehehe ...
     
    after dat, we had 'finish-the-food' game ... it's Big2 again (dun anyone get tired of this game ??? hehe) whoever losses ... the person muz eat the quantity of food tally wif the number of card on hand ... the objective : to finish up the junkies we brought for the trip as they r so soo sooo much left ~ kiasu ppl ... hehe ...
     
    the game of twister is next : game includes a plastic sheet with large colored circles. The game has one spinner, divided into fourths by color; each quaters specifies left foot, right foot, left hand, or right hand. After spinning, players move to the said location. Due to the scarcity of colored circles, eventually resulting in someone's fall ... this is best played went ppl r slightly tipsy as this is where their balancing n flexibility skills is put to the test ... very fun ~ then we closed up wif a karaoke session  which we also had earlier in the day ... me n carrie had our session ended at 5am till we r both so beat ...  both lying motionless on the mattress we took out fr the rooms earlier ...  
     
    phew ... that was a hella of things to do ...
     
    the next day after breakfast, was a boat ride to the nearby kelongs ... lunch then home ... i slept for the whole afternoon ... woke up for godzilla then went back to sleep coz was having a bad gastric n a slight headache (to much of play) ... but, was all good ~ thanks to everyone (desmond, hazel, angel, gary,  sim, ng, joe, xiao chen, mok, carrie n jiun)  who make this trip a awesome one ... we still hav lotsa beers left ... so dun wait too long to plan for out next outing ... will get all the photos posted to u all ... enjoy ~

    it's friday!! yeaaa ~~ altho got half day work trow .... dun care ~ coz it's the weekend ... was national day yest ... din really go out ... was suppose to go k ... but din go ... coz i slept thru ~ sooo PIGGG  .. hehhehe ... went to get some stuff from zon .. massive amount of ppl ... it's juz so crazy ... wat i saw was ... the staff push out a trolley of toilet papers heading towards the supermarket ... n it's as if the papers were gold ... a whole group of ppl juz ran towards it n grab ... some even fell when rushing for it ... such a horrid scene ... n da price was not a great deal of a difference compared to the other places ... i went to get my face cream (which was about 45% off the norm price ... which was a good deal !!) n check out at the alcohol section ... coz it was a shorter queue ... so i grab two cans of beer n left ...  juz in case i can't get out fr there coz i din get any alcohol ... da rest of the day was spend watching dvds ... 1st half of da day was CSI (da las vegas version) wif bro n the next half was forensic heroes (the hk drama) wif mum ... watched 7 episodes last nite ... not bad for 2nd half ... keke ... there's summore 17 episodes to go .. jia you oh, ye chow !! hehehe ...
     
    both this show is all bout forensic testings on crimes ppl do ... the difference between hk drama serials n english ones .. the hk ones have more emotions attached to it ... it's closer to our asian ppl's everyday life where ppl could actually relate to or maybe we felt abit of closeness to ... on the other hand CSI it's more on a case by case approach ... every episode is a new case ... both have their very own audience catchment ... which is y both series got me glued to the tv screen ~ hehe
     
    will have to end here ... gotta carry on wif work ~ tata to all for now ... have a great weekend & take care ...  u all ~

    phewwww .....

     
    updated my music list ... gosh, took soooo long for me to do it up .. i wanted to do my list in accordance to my personal favourite ... then when i preview my space, it went on alphabetical order ... arrrgghhh ... so i gave in to my naiveness & 'sotong-ness' ... i redo the space again ... only to realise it can't be done ~
     
    n bcoz justin have got too many nice songs, it adds to the complexity in choosing the real nice ones ... i set it at 10 songs at 1st .. then after that 12 then 15 then now i got 16 songs !!! i muz really stop ~ haha  coz if not i will have to call the list my favourite albums instead of songs ... i reckon most of his songs are good ~ i have to cracked my head n ear drums juz to figure out which one is the one i like most .. so 'kua zhang' (exaggerating), hahahah .. initially wanna delete it off but then i went thru so much hassle, so die-die have to finish it up ...
     
    In the midst of that, i discover some of his new songs ... which is quite nice as well  ... it's the ost for his new show ~ Love @ First Note 戀愛初歌 (Luen Oi Choh Goh) starring him (Justin Lo), Kary Ng, Alex Fong, Theresa Fu & Stephy Tang.

    Karma : have u been behaving well?

    Good n bad karma … have been listening to people (thanks to CS although she’s not really a God person to have always say about karma which got me interested to have a bit more read on it) n have also watch this show by andy lau (Running on Karma) ~ a better way of understanding what Karma is ... should we believe in such things … let me quote u a brief (is it brief:: hmmm ) description on karma which I got it off the internet …

    Karma (Sanskrit: कर्म from the root k, "to do", [meaning deed] meaning action, effect, destiny) is a term that comprises the entire cycle of cause and effect. Karma is a sum of all that an individual has done, is currently doing and will do. The effects of all deeds actively create past, present and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain in others. In religions that incorporate reincarnation, karma extends through one's present life and all past and future lives as well….” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma) 

    Running on Karma’s Synopsis

    (http://movies.aol.com/movie/running-on-karma/16971/synopsis)

    "Big" (Andy Lau of Infernal Affairs, wearing a gargantuan prosthetic muscle suit) is a competition weight lifter and part-time male stripper. One night while dancing at a strip club, Big responds to the frantic exhortations of a comely patron (Cecilia Cheung) and strips completely naked. Unfortunately for Big, she turns out to be Detective Li, and she promptly busts him for indecent exposure. Worse yet, a murder has just taken place in the office above the club, and when Big tries to escape his minor charge, he's caught by the cops and questioned in connection with the murder. Detective Li helps him get out of the jam, and he, in turn, helps her track down the elusive killer. Li develops a romantic interest in Big, but he seems to want to avoid her. Pressed to explain himself, he eventually reveals his bizarre and tragic past. Big was a kung fu monk until a woman friend of his was murdered years ago, sending him into an uncontrollable rage, during which he inadvertently killed a sparrow. After meditating over the bird's corpse for a long time, Big developed the ability to "see karma." He can look at any animal (including people) and see what they did in their past lives. When he looks at Detective Li, he sees that in a former life she was a brutal Japanese soldier who murdered many. Even though she's a good person, she still carries that soldier's karma, and Big believes she'll eventually have to die for his crimes. Despite his misgivings, he finds himself increasingly drawn to the persistent young cop. Running on Karma was directed by the team of Johnny To and Wai Ka-fai (PTU). The film was shown at the 2004 edition of Subway Cinema's New York Asian Film Festival. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide

    I’ll complain as much but not in the extent to harm or hurt anyone .. will this affect my karma as well ?? I remind people of retribution … so I’m very cautious myself (‘kiasi’ a hokkien dialect which means scared of death, kekeke )

    If there’s something like karma .. I’d not spoil my current n next life … if there is actually a next life … sometimes I do contemplate on whether I should dislike or be mad with a person for a long time … then when I think of it … y bother ?? y make life so difficult when there are other options in handling such things … n landing myself in a big mess for the for me to clear in future or if not now then the next person in the next life would have to clear it up … I can’t hold much things myself ... normally, I chose to express and tell depending on what the matter is (don’t worry, I still keep a lot of things to myself, keke) ... then will have a cooling down period .. then I’m fine … don’t try to drive my limits … once u snap that line ~ that’s it … sound vicious huh ?? muahahaha … hey man, live within your boundaries n leave mine alone, hahahaha ~

    Hmmm ... wonder if the person in my past life have given this a thought ?? hehe … so do give it a thought …

    challenging the frail mind ~

    wish to share something ... before i go to bed ~ need to clear my head abit ~

    Torment :
    1. To cause to undergo great physical pain or mental anguish. See Synonyms at afflict.

    2. To agitate or upset greatly.

    3. To annoy, pester, or harass.
    (from www.dictionary.com)

    Torment ?? A strong word to use ?? I really don’t know… the first word that I could find to describe is this … minus a portion of the weight this word actually carries … it’s a sad word actually … to have one person who’s actually using it to describe the state he or she’s in now ...

    I’ll have to say it’s a sickness that is self-inflicted by your very own decisions, mind set n your heart … waiting is a torment …and not knowing when and how things will be ~ trying to create many excuses just to ease the poor mind and bracing thru all the reality and not willing to accept that’s the truth and to continue deceiving yourself .. trusting that what u want to see ahead becomes reality (which sometimes may not) is a real torture … it’s the HOPE n the state of mind u are holding on to … just like trying to catch the air which we know it’ll just a cool sensation with every grasps of our hands … n is our mind that makes us think it’s there …

    tell me, is that a punishment for how stubborn we are … n eventually send u to the ground with a hard-knock … waking up to find out that all these are just wishful thinking of your own world ? despite pumping in all the efforts to make things work eventually it just leave trails you of stupidity and no results is seen with all those effort is pure naiveness and stupidity in life … it's really tiring ~ both mentally and emotionally … y must we be tormented till such an extent ? Isn’t there a better way to make things work for a simple being? U tell me …
