Destined to be in the computing line? I really wonder

I took the myers-briggs personality test just to see which type of person I am. It turns out I'm an ENTP. Like all skeptics, I took it a few times, 4 out of 6 times in a span of a month which concluded me an ENTP.

Its pretty interesting, not because ENTPs are clever by nature; I dont really buy that story but its a flattery at best but because of other traits that I have been so conspicuously exuding.

I understand how things click or how it works, be it a theorem if paid 100% attention, or blending it in any racial group. Im quite the angmo pai fella, and basically i'm able to blend in amongst the several cliques within the group.

Im rational, which means whatever path I decide to take, it must be a sensible on paper. I could have joined Shanwei in Acer and probably might earn as much as he does if i decide to OT mindlessly as he did, but I decided to take a low paying job at IJ to earn my keep while studying.

I enjoy spontaneity over fixed schedules. The malaysia trip is such a fine example; fangwen wants to plan it machiam like Army's SOP, but being me, I say it fuck it and take it as it comes.

I apparently have excellent people's skills; probably evident on how i can please nearly everyone in IJ.

There are many more but I shant elaborate further.

And here comes the best part - likely careers. They listed a few possible and also careers undertaken by ENTPs. Things that caught my eye - psychologist, consultant, computer programmer, system analyst and computer specialist.

Apparently my ideal other half is an INTJ e.g. Mr Wang except that he's a guy but someone else just happened to fit in. And that girl turned out to be the one im interested in - Yen.

when I compare with people I know who took the test, it was relatively true for them.
But as all tests goes, its best to take it with a pinch of salt.

Toto is really about luck

So a single person walked away with $6 million and he only spent $0.50 on a single quick pick ticket. It really says it all.

Smacks of naviety, but like a little kid in me, I would always like to think otherwise, despite knowing you can never predict the numbers. It just pops out at random. I think its impossible to even formulate a trend line and start forecasting.

Monte Carlo simulation doesnt even come close!

I seriously need to buck up

Im so fucking unmotivated that I really need to set goals on this blog page to get things done. I've set this entry as my homepage you see because the first thing i do is fire up my goddamn firefox.

1. Finish my data mining assignment by tuesday (8th May)
   
2. Complete my econs assignment by friday (11th May)
3. Finish question 1&2 of maths assignment by Friday (18th May)
4. Complete xml assignment by Sunday (13th May)
5. Complete Maths assignment by Sunday (20th May)
   

Good bye melbourne :(

It been a while since I last blogged; simply just tired, lazy, whatever. Yeap as I type this post, I have just sent Hui & Kuah an email telling them, I have officially rejected the Melbourne Uni offer.

Im really trying to be optimistic here. There may just be a couple of reasons why I should stay here.

1) Grandpa- He' getting old, he's already 82. At least it would be nice to be at his side during his golden years, incidentally as old as Geezer old lee, who sporadically comes out and babble nonsense from time to time.

2) Finances- We are talking about a cool S$80k max on a degree which might not secure me a dream job. Melbourne Uni I guess is just Melbourne Uni; its not fair to lump her together with the Ivys.

3) Divinity - Being typical taoists, my mom asked for divine opinion everywhere. All were coincidentally against the idea. Sometimes i guess its better not to go against the odds. Apparently, Ill excel better if I continued studying distance learning here, then go overseas. (Sounds ludicrous; maybe)

4) Practically infeasible- Im due to graduate end of this year. I guess it really makes no sense to spend another 1.5 years there. If all goes well, Im looking at a near impeccable transcript locally, which theoretically puts me in good stead in finding a nice, comfy paying job, I hope.

5) A girl named yen - If I really do go, then I really wouldnt have a chance to date her. It'll probably be shitty if I really fell for her before I left. I honestly think she's quite cute and likeable.

I certainly felt better after typing all these, I hope.

Perhaps if there's a need to undergo postgrad, I guess I wouldnt have qualms applying for melbourne uni again.
