Found this at hueylee’s blog. Quite scary actually because 99.9, or should I say 100% of the things are truth.

What Tan Yong Kian Means

You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.
You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You’re most comfortable when you’re far away from home.
You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.

You are usually the best at everything … you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic “Type A” personality.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.
You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.
You may miss out by not settling down, but you’re too busy having fun to care.

You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life.
You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you.
At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself.

You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life.
You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone.
Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don’t appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs.

You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life.
You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don’t spill secrets or spread gossip.
People sometimes think you’re snobby or aloof, but you’re just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It’s easy to get you excited… which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don’t stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

Cockroach Personal…

To be frank, I’m a guy with no security and confident. I break down very easily and I very depend on my support pillar.

Till now, from time to time, I will get upset with little small things which a guy shouldn’t be upset of.

Am I born with that? Where to get self-security? If continue like that I might ended up with no girlfriend!!!

Today was blog hopping around and found two of my CCA seniors. Although they might not know me very well, I’m still glad that both are doing well now.

It’s always the case. I know people, people don’t know me.

I don’t have many friends in real world. In school, at work, not many people know me well. I mean, for secondary school as an example, I only meet classmates in school and other time I would be staying at home with no interaction with my classmates after school. Now, I miss them, I miss 5N2. Their joke, their nonsense, their nosiness even though I’m not very close to most of them.

It is till when I go to MI, I told myself to break through a little, at least mix with some group of friends. And I did. I got to know Lee Wah, Evan, Jeffery, Xiao Mei, and the rest of them. A bunch of nice friends who we can joke around, have breakfast and lunch together. It is them that make me to be a person who talks a little more, a little more confident, and a littler more security, somehow.

I’m a person who cannot let go. I think I will miss all the fun with them after PAE period. I think I will miss having lesson with them even though the lessons are boring.

Really, it’s hard to let go.

What to do? Our dear cockroach here is seriously need help in getting things right. Any helping hands?

Cockroach//蟑螂 on January 29th 2008 in Cockroach's Education

Carrot, an Egg or Coffee Beans?


A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as when one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word.

In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.

Turning to her daughter, she asked, “Tell me what you see.”

“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.

Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg. Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma.

The daughter then asked, “What does this mean, mother?”

Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity… boiling water. Each had reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.

The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting in the boiling water, its insides became hardened.

The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After being in the boiling water, they had changed the water.

“Which are you?” she asked her daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?”

Think of this: Which am I?

Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?

Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?

Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changed the hot water, the very circumstance that brought the pain in the first place. When the water got hot, the beans released their fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst; you get better and change the situation around you.

When the hour is darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can’t go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

——————-

I will be coffee bean….I can stay strong and I will be strong.

Cockroach//蟑螂 on January 28th 2008 in Story, Words from Cockroach

When a family doesn’t look like one…

I Cried.

It’s hard to describe the feeling inside me for the past few months. How I wish, I have magical power, to change things for the better, for my family, for everything.

Family has not been doing well for the past few months. Cold war between parents and miscommunication between me and my mum make me unable to breath. I find it difficult to cope, difficult to accept, difficult to believe.

I sometime wonder why…why is it so difficult to handle marriage, why is it so difficult to live under one roof, why is it there are so many problem happening in the family.

I love them, that is the reason why I don’t why this family to be separated. I have been trying all ways for the pass few months to solve the problem but it all failed. Please! Please tell me what I should do, what should I do to make this family reunited. What should I do to solve everything! Everything…

I started to feel useless. I’m such a failure as the eldest son. Am I making everything worse? When can they take one step back to see everything? Everyone have a responsible to play, but no one willing to take the step.

I wish I have magical power, to bring this family reunited again, a happy family again, a family I would love to live in, no matter what hardship we have to go through, I willing to go through with them. Please, please give me the magical power to make this happen. Please…

God, May I beg you, to give me the strength and power to handle the problems. May I have you to help me solve the problem with me, together like a family, because… because I really miss those time. Really…
