stress reliever
been pretty stressed & unhappy lately... funnily enough, the first thing I thought of was to go for a haircut. And that was what I did today after courts.
I used to dread going to the hairdressers as most of the time I end up hating my new hair cut. However, over the last 4 months, I've been to the hairdressers numerous times, even at lunch. Going to the hairdressers gives me some breathing space, time to digest the morning's events & to escape from the slew of phone calls.
Guess one can probably gauge my stress levels from the length of my hair. I've had long hair ever since my first year at university but after joining Zaobao in June, I've seen my hair shrink to shoulder length first, and then to a shorter bob.
Believe it or not, in my first month, I actually went to the hairdresser's three times, coming out each time with a shorter cut...
To be honest, i'm not a fan of short hair, but after each cut, my head seems to feel lighter and liberated me can finally think again. It's all in the mind I know, but it's one of the things that can make me happy besides binging on chocolates that make me fat.
oh yes n blogging n procrastinating when i'm stressed. need to get back to work... shall finish this some other time when i feel like having a go at escapism...

Psychological test
Wows sent me this really creepy website yesterday... i must say it's about 90% accurate for me. Freaky tt an online test can read me like a book...brrr....
Give it a try: http://www.paulgoldin.com/colorgenics.htm
What it said about me:
Your mind is never at rest.You are continually striving to influence all those about you. You have some excellent ideas but you persist in trying to persuade others just how great your ideas really are. Maybe you are trying too hard. Take it easy - remember, 'Everything comes to those who wait'.
You are a very warm and emotional individual but unfortunately in the past too many people have taken advantage of this sensitive trait. You need aesthetic surroundings, or an equally sensitive and understanding partner with whom to share a warm understanding.
You are prepared to establish a particular relationship that is being made available to you at this time. It could be a satisfactory liaison but there could be a certain amount of conflict involved -try to avoid direct confrontation at all costs.
Unacceptable restrictions have been forced upon you and this is resulting in severe frustration and stress. You are looking for independence and consequently you shy away from any restriction and avoid obligations of anything which might prove hampering. You are being subjected to considerable pressure and want to escape from it so that you can obtain what you need, but unfortunately at this particular moment in time you lack the necessary strength of purpose to succeed in this.
The tensions induced by trying to cope with conditions are really beyond your capabilities. This has resulted in experiencing considerable anxiety and stress. You are looking for confirmation from your nearest and dearest that you have the ability and strength to fulfil all of your needs and to be completely self-sufficient.When matters don't go right for you - you tend to become inhibited and blame others for your inadequacy. You feel that there must be a way out from all the trials and tribulations that you have been experiencing of late and you are right - there is a solution - so don't give in, keep searching.

supermarket therapy
got off work today for class at 6pm... earliest i've been out of the office since my shin min days...which is about 1.5 years ago...
anyhow, i rushed from work to class so i din get to have dinner. Finished class at about 940pm n was starving so I dropped by PS on my way home. Was planning to get Mac's or KFC cuz I didn't expect the other places to be opened at tt hour. Very surprised & elated to find carrefour still opened for business so I grabbed a basket and went crazy.
It definitely felt like London all over again. After work, tired & hungry and browsing through the shelves for instant gratification. Funnily enough, the stuff I got were about the same as what i used to get. Got sushi & 3 legs of honey chicken wings from the deli, all for the price of 1 cuz they were closing, cranberry & red ruby juice (love red ruby! havent had that for 1.5 years!!!!), cheese cubes, biscuits n soup. Spent nearly an hour walking around.
Midweek is usually bad and esp so this week as I've been starting work at 8am and reaching home at 1am... felt so much better after my supermarket retreat...gosh i hope i'm not turning into an auntie but supermarket therapy sure works! Try it next time if u need some unwinding.

梦中情人
met my 梦中情人 today & had the chance to play paintball with him... heh heh...perks of being a reporter...haha :p
had to try very very hard to behave myself. don't know him on a personal basis although i wished i had the chance to, but from the few times i've interacted with him, he's perfect: christian, funny, sporting, talented but too bad, he'll forever just be someone in my dreams.
pictures later when CTY decides to send them to me...
----
Onto other things... saw this blurb on STI earlier on... can't agree more that scholars shouldn't just be from the elite schools... they're many many more talented and farsighted individuals with better leadership skills out there. They also bring different perspectives having experienced a different lifestyle. Glad that in my robotics days back in sec sch, i had the chance to interact with peers from neighbourhood schools. Learnt quite a few lessons about life from them.
Having said that, I don't quite agree with the "guile" part...probably more tactical and drivem but definitely not cunning... even if they are, ppl who are chinese educated are more compassionate and loyal i feel. A look at the SME tow kays, even the scheming crafty ones have a heart.
Spread scholars across schools: Ngiam Tong Dow
PRIMARY school pupils who shine should be spread across a range of secondary schools, rather than the two or three elite institutions usually reserved for scholars.
This would ensure Singapore's brightest are equipped with a wider range of thinking skills to tackle today's complex issues, former top civil servant Ngiam Tong Dow said on Friday.
He suggested, for example, that those educated at Chinese schools here in earlier years, tended to have more 'guile' as a result.
Most education is in English nowadays, but in previous decades, a number of schools taught classes largely in Chinese. That led to a distinction.
Speaking at a Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCCI) lunch, Mr Ngiam said Chinese-educated Singaporeans generally have more guile and cunning than their English-educated counterparts.
They also tend to be more 'doers' than just 'thinkers', which is an important trait that Singapore's scholar-dominated civil service needs to cultivate, said Mr Ngiam, chairman of Surbana Corp.
He was speaking to 150 attendees at SCCCI's biannual Distinguished Speakers Lecture series at the Ritz-Carlton Millenia hotel.
In his half-hour speech, Mr Ngiam discussed how Singapore can maintain a First World 'state of mind' by being a society with equal access to education and 'driven by passion'.
He also raised the question of whether there was a divide between the English-educated and Chinese-educated in Singapore.
Mr Ngiam, who attended an English medium school, recalled 'a famous speech in the 1960's' made by Mr Lee Kuan Yew, then Prime Minister, now Minister Mentor.
Mr Lee had described English school students 'as gold fish swimming in an ornamental bowl'. In contrast, Chinese-educated students were likened to 'piranhas in the wild'.

Teletubbies turn 10!!!
(Source: Pink is the new blog)
Teletubbies 天线宝宝 turn 10 today! Gosh... it seems like yesterday when I first watched the hyper repetitive show with a baby face sun in sec sch (again! again! k... i was bored)
Lala, the yellow one's my fav... my brother bought me one for my birthday then. Still have it sitting pretty in my cabinet along with Tinky Winky that we got from mcdonalds.
Despite talks of them being satanic and found with rosary beads in them, nothing devious has happened to me in the last 10 years. Hmm...on second thots, maybe my insomnia n moodiness have something to do with them....
Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Lala, Po!
Teletubbies in Singapore @ Raffles Hotel in August 2007
Awww... so sweet...my fav lala with po!

i don't feel well. something's not right.
perhaps i've been working too hard n too long. i'm totally gutted out.
when i finally have a day to myself, i sit down and start crying.
maybe it's a bad idea to study and work at the same time.
feeling fat and ugly too. i binge when i'm stressed n i've been stuffing too many chocolates down my throat in the last 3 weeks. i no longer fit into my jeans. n my hair is way too short, dry n discoloured.
i hate myself.

investor sentiments
touched on the topic of investor sentiments in my sunday column today...for the benefit of those who don't buy zaobao i've pasted it below
for those who don't read chinese, in summary (i shud have put this into my column, but the feel will prob be lost in translation...case of babel confusion): the problem with the markets at the moment is ppl's gut feel. If your gut feeling is so great, your gut would be your brain.)
全球股市近来又坐了一轮过山车，被指扰乱人心的罪魁祸首为美国次优信贷（subprime）以及所延伸出的债务担保凭证（CDO）和信贷紧缩问题。
环球经济，尤其是本区域经济，依然呈现前所未见的强劲增长，为何在面对隔岸火时那么不堪一击呢？
如果仔细解剖这次的大地震，上述的只是催化剂，投资者情绪（investor sentiment）才是“真凶”。
“投资者情绪”的“行凶”手段是操纵投资者的思绪和行为，导致它们在过于乐观或悲观的情况下，采取偏激且非理性行为，使得市场价格处于高估或低估情况。大市好时就蜂拥而上，一有什么风吹草动，就惊慌失措，仓皇逃离。
每名投资者的投资预期和风险偏好都不同，而反映在投资情绪上也是千差万别。如果投资者自控能力较弱，受市场和环境的影响就会较大，更易产生情绪上的波动，从而直接影响回报。
投资最主要的情绪是“怕”，只要一看盘，涨也好，跌也好，心里的平衡点马上被打乱。众观近期的股市的大调整，恐慌情绪的蔓延是抛盘涌出的主要原因。
“怕”主导人的方式是使人追涨杀跌，在跌的时候使人觉得深不可测，涨的时候则觉得就要回调。许多投资者心想落袋为安，所以在涨的时候过早卖出，以致错过后头的好戏。跌的时候，不管是熊市中的下跌，还是牛市中的回调，只要出现流泻，心里就慌，觉得下来肯定是无底的深渊。心一软，好不容易选中的筹码，就这样被抛到海底去了。
还有新加坡人的“怕”输心态，由于担心落人后，许多投资者到处打听消息，却没有能力分辨市场“噪声”，以致被一堆的市场消息搞得团团转，容易陷入“从众心态”（herd mentality）的陷阱，而搞不好会把传言推波助澜成一种自我应验预言（self-fulfilling prophecy）。
在科技发达的现时今日，“怕”的威力更难抵抗。随着越来越多人选择自行上网交易，这样一来，思考和反悔的时间减少了。在情绪化的影响下，只要按个按钮，几秒钟之内就可能否定了一个月的投资决定。
人是情感的动物，要求在进行投资时决情非易事。但要成功，就必需下定决心战胜“怕”这个情绪化操盘的天敌。
在面对“怕”时，不妨深呼吸，给自己多一点时间冷静思考，再把明确的计划和投资目标化为胆识，加上坚定的意志，心理战术是可以征服市场。
