Waiting

Her eyes brightened with a smile,
as she paused in her tasks for a while.
“He’ll be back soon,
Coming home at last,
The long wait has been worthwhile.”

She checked on the steamed chicken,
And made sure the beef stew thickened.
A stir-fried dish stands ready,
Of mushrooms and seasonal greens.
As she looked to the time, her heart quickened.

On the table, the plates were placed.
In and out of the kitchen she paced.
The meal was set,
An epicurean’s delight.
Each moment she waited, her pulse raced.

Minute by minute the clock struck ten.
There’s still no sign of him round the bend.
She looked at the dinner,
Now gone cold.
Second by second anxiety rends.

She looked out of the window for a sign,
For her son’s return, she pined.
The door bell rang.
From her seat she sprang.
“Finally! Everything will turn out fine.”

She opened the door to see men in blue,
Of their purpose she had no clue.
“A truck hit,
And he died on the way”
She fell as she wished it was not true.

Her eyes dulled with her grief,
as she mourned and lost her sole will to live.
“I’ll be coming to you,
Old as I am, we’ll reunite at last,
Without you, this life will be brief.”

The Force is with you...

Yes!! I've watched it! Caught Star Wars Episode III last nite and finally the story is COMPLETE! Now all I have to do is to have patience.... wait for the Episode I-III DVD collection to come out on the market and become relatively cheap before I'll buy it. I already have Episode IV-VI platinum edition... kekeke...

Not that I'm such a hard core Star Wars fan... but I think Star Wars was such a milestone in movie making history that it should not and CANNOT be ignored! Just like Lord of the Rings which had recently reshaped movie-making of the fantasy genre, so had Star Wars when it came out more than 20 years ago!

And the best part is, despite the fact that the music was composed more than 20 years ago, the opening titles belonged to movie history of another time, when those lines came out in dead silence...

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."

And when the music blasted through the speakers with the movie title, I still can't help that feeling of exilaration and excitement! I love the opening titles... kekeke...

okok... perhaps I am a bigger Star Wars fan than I think I am... kekeke... and I'm sure there are plenty more out there like me or even bigger fans than me....

The Force is with us!!!! kekeke

ooh.... I like... kekeke

Take the quiz: "What Star Wars Character Are You?"

Your sarcasm is remarkable. Because of your harsh childhood you have become excellent at supressing your emotions and appearing driven only by money, but you do have a soft side...

This is me.... quite a long test...

Stole this personality test from pd...
Your Type is
ENFJ
Extroverted Intuitive Feeling Judging
Strength of the preferences %
11 25 38 44
The Giver
As an ENFJ, you're primary mode of living is focused externally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system. Your secondary mode is internal, where you take things in primarily via your intuition.

ENFJs are people-focused individuals. They live in the world of people possibilities. More so than any other type, they have excellent people skills. They understand and care about people, and have a special talent for bringing out the best in others. ENFJ's main interest in life is giving love, support, and a good time to other people. They are focused on understanding, supporting, and encouraging others. They make things happen for people, and get their best personal satisfaction from this.
Because ENFJ's people skills are so extraordinary, they have the ability to make people do exactly what they want them to do. They get under people's skins and get the reactions that they are seeking. ENFJ's motives are usually unselfish, but ENFJs who have developed less than ideally have been known to use their power over people to manipulate them.

ENFJ's are so externally focused that it's especially important for them to spend time alone. This can be difficult for some ENFJs, because they have the tendency to be hard on themselves and turn to dark thoughts when alone. Consequently, ENFJs might avoid being alone, and fill their lives with activities involving other people. ENFJs tend to define their life's direction and priorities according to other people's needs, and may not be aware of their own needs. It's natural to their personality type that they will tend to place other people's needs above their own, but they need to stay aware of their own needs so that they don't sacrifice themselves in their drive to help others.

ENFJ's tend to be more reserved about exposing themselves than other extraverted types. Although they may have strongly-felt beliefs, they're likely to refrain from expressing them if doing so would interfere with bringing out the best in others. Because their strongest interest lies in being a catalyst of change in other people, they're likely to interact with others on their own level, in a chameleon-like manner, rather than as individuals.

Which is not to say that the ENFJ does not have opinions. ENFJs have definite values and opinions which they're able to express clearly and succinctly. These beliefs will be expressed as long as they're not too personal. ENFJ is in many ways expressive and open, but is more focused on being responsive and supportive of others. When faced with a conflict between a strongly-held value and serving another person's need, they are highly likely to value the other person's needs.
The ENFJ may feel quite lonely even when surrounded by people. This feeling of aloneness may be exacerbated by the tendency to not reveal their true selves.

People love ENFJs. They are fun to be with, and truly understand and love people. They are typically very straight-forward and honest. Usually ENFJs exude a lot of self-confidence, and have a great amount of ability to do many different things. They are generally bright, full of potential, energetic and fast-paced. They are usually good at anything which captures their interest.

ENFJs like for things to be well-organized, and will work hard at maintaining structure and resolving ambiguity. They have a tendency to be fussy, especially with their home environments.
In the work place, ENFJs do well in positions where they deal with people. They are naturals for the social committee. Their uncanny ability to understand people and say just what needs to be said to make them happy makes them naturals for counseling. They enjoy being the center of attention, and do very well in situations where they can inspire and lead others, such as teaching.

ENFJs do not like dealing with impersonal reasoning. They don't understand or appreciate its merit, and will be unhappy in situations where they're forced to deal with logic and facts without any connection to a human element. Living in the world of people possibilities, they enjoy their plans more than their achievements. They get excited about possibilities for the future, but may become easily bored and restless with the present.

ENFJs have a special gift with people, and are basically happy people when they can use that gift to help others. They get their best satisfaction from serving others. Their genuine interest in Humankind and their exceptional intuitive awareness of people makes them able to draw out even the most reserved individuals.

ENFJs have a strong need for close, intimate relationships, and will put forth a lot of effort in creating and maintaining these relationships. They're very loyal and trustworthy once involved in a relationship.

An ENFJ who has not developed their Feeling side may have difficulty making good decisions, and may rely heavily on other people in decision-making processes. If they have not developed their Intuition, they may not be able to see possibilities, and will judge things too quickly based on established value systems or social rules, without really understanding the current situation. An ENFJ who has not found their place in the world is likely to be extremely sensitive to criticism, and to have the tendency to worry excessively and feel guilty. They are also likely to be very manipulative and controling with others.

In general, ENFJs are charming, warm, gracious, creative and diverse individuals with richly developed insights into what makes other people tick. This special ability to see growth potential in others combined with a genuine drive to help people makes the ENFJ a truly valued individual. As giving and caring as the ENFJ is, they need to remember to value their own needs as well as the needs of others.

Dominant: Extraverted Feeling
Auxiliary: Introverted Intuition
Tertiary: Extraverted Sensing
Inferior: Introverted Thinking

Ahh.... peace...

Took a day's leave from work yesterday and basically enjoyed it. Not exactly cos I did anything spectacular to make it special... more so because it was a day when I get to wake up late (around 10 am), did my own thing...

Went to JB yesterday and sort of spent the whole day there... had a nice delicious lunch of Bak Ku Teh at the coffee shop at Lion Hotel... they used to call it Lion City Hotel but guess they are not such a big fan of Singapore anymore, despite the fact that the logo still resembles the Singapore Merlion logo...After lunch, went to Pelangi and watched a movie there. Saw Kingdom of Heaven but it wasn't as good as I had hoped... the trailer sort of oversold the movie and I was rather disappointed by the end of it. And what's with Liam Neeson these days... always taking up roles that die within the first half of the movie (and in this case, less than the first half!!!) There's one good actor whose talent is going to waste.

Sort of went to walk around Giant supermarket after the movies and bought some groceries and stuff.... just like any other ordinary weekend...
