Personality Test?

Have to blame her for this... :)

I've been influenced...

There will be another post on what I want to write about what happened my life recently but that one have to wait...

So for introductory purposes, this will suffice... my personality test...

Your view on yourself:

Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner (I think everyone does). Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear. (This is so true)

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Test yourself.

Few or many result from the personality above are corrects about me... and WTH...

Change and Changed...

-I miss the air that I breathe in Chicago, but not the cold.. :P-

I’ve changed my blog title from Get a Life to I Got Life…because; okay this might be along story to tell…

Fara’s mum always said this to her...”if you sing a sad or painful song repetitively it will get into your head and you will tend to say each word over and over again, then it will become a dua’ (prayer) for you…

Ever since I heard this from Fara few months ago, I’ve tried not to listen to any sad song, no matter how popular or good the song could be.

I want the best in my life, I want to pray for the best things that can happen to me and I want to avoid any painful distortion from getting into my head. So, by being committed to this I hope I can stop being neurosis and insecure.

Changing the blog title is one the effort. If I always tell myself to get a life (the original purpose of creating this blog is to always tell myself to get a life; mentioned in one of my earliest post) then I’m just being an ungrateful person who never appreciate my life.

I got life; a wonderful life, been surrounded by wonderful people, meet many inspiring and insightful personas and I appreciate that.

The People

Sarah

A chance to visit you in Milwaukee, is one of the best thing happened to me. At that time, I was hit by a serious emotional stress which no one could understand of. And thanks to Mimi who had suggested that I should go to Milwaukee to visit you. I could not ask more from that. I treasured all the memories I have with you in Milwaukee. May Allah bless you and Ali, I just can’t wait to see you again.

Gary Guarino

He is the Santa Claus for the Salvation Army, asking for donation that happened to meet me at the front door of Walmart in Wheeling, IL. He is about 50+ years old man, divorced, jobless, no house (gave to his ex-wife), fired due to recession and live in the Salvation Army shelter. He only has a car which is loaded with his luggage. That day, I was waiting for a cab at 8 pm who I’ve called an hour ago, in the freezing night. It was snowing that night (the second or the first day of snows near Deerfield). He offered me a ride because he realizes that I’ve waited for so long and he sees no cab coming for me. I was reluctant at first because I’m afraid of unexpectedly polite stranger offering a ride to send me to my apartment in Deerfield. Thinking of I don’t want to die of freezing or been eaten by frost or waiting for never come cabby so that I agreed. Thanks to him I’m saved, not harmed and reached the apartment before the night gets colder because I hate cold. I might exaggerate this, but if Santa Claus existed, he is my favorite. I promised not to lost contact with him. Lately he is not in FB anymore and I can’t reach him because he doesn’t have permanent address. However, I think I have his phone number kept somewhere in the box, I’ll try to find it or else I will send out a letter address to the Salvation Army shelter in Chicago. It is possible right? I hope and I pray he is always well and healthy because I’m so thankful that I have chance knowing him. Again, to Gary, I treasured all the advice I received from you and I do pray that someday I can return the favor you did for me. I have his photo.

People of Chase Bank and Bank of America

Thanksgiving Day, before or after or maybe the day before Black Friday sale; I can’t remember when but at that time when I was in Chicago, I was desperately needed to cash out some money. There are so many things that my friends asked me to buy for them. I don’t have credit card yet when I was travelling in US. I google’ed and found out that OCBC and HSBC have their branch in Chicago. I need to find any banks which provide MEPS (Malaysian Electronic Payment System); OCBC and HSBC provide MEPS. With the scratch paper I drew based on Google Maps I look for the two banks and unfortunately I couldn’t find it. Both closed down in Chicago.

I went to the Chase Bank and I was greeted by a man, who dressed nicely and I was assuming he is someone who had position in the Chicago branch. He was talking to me, asks for my problems, asks everyone around (the clerks) how to help and it is so pleasant to have warmth people comforting me with nice words. When he realized that he can’t help me he said, “I’m truly sorry my dear, you’re one beautiful and brave girl, I hope you will be blessed and helps is on the way for you.” At that particular time, I missed my father. I’m so proud that I didn’t burst out with tears in front of him. I smiled and said thank you to him. A stranger called me beautiful and brave. I am blessed.

I didn’t give up yet and I’m heading to the Bank of America from the Chase Bank. There, I went straight to the clerk on the front table and greet her. She offered me a seat and asking the necessaries. I tell her what I needed of and she was using her computer google’ing and trying to help me. I knew that she will find out nothing for me but it just that I’m not giving up yet, because I believe in being hopeful. Coming to realize that she couldn’t do anything she offered sweets, variety and many colors of them. I smiled, thanks her and head back to the train station. It was fruitless efforts but I’m glad that I’m not giving up. Since that day, I’m in love with Jolly Rancher Hard Candy.

*I don’t know if this may sounds like drama, and I truly don’t care if anyone do not believe me for this but I’m happy I’ve met these people, get through it and experienced this in my life.

It is weird when strangers feel closer to you than anyone you know happened to be in the same trip with you.

Date

I met someone, too early to tell if anything going strong and serious but I’m happy being with him. I want to be positive about everything and I place all my hope and dreams to Allah to decide it for me.

Earlier, before I decided to write this post I was shivering and uneasy. I have no idea why my mind was unsettled. I assumed it maybe because of the caffeine I consumed when I was with my friends. I called him, asking if he is okay and he said yes he is. He asked me to pray, recite some ayat so my mind will be at peace. For few minutes, I can’t recite ayat Kursi but I knew I memorized it. I cried because I can’t recite it and I took a shower and pray. After I prayed I try to memorize it again and it’s flowing easily. Again I cried of happiness because I’m not losing it. Spiritual belief is wonderful. Too wonderful to describe it plain words.

I have to admit that I’m little bit astray lately… busy after’ing worldly life… It always about not enough money, many works to be done, many promises to keep, worldly pleasures… I hope that’s about to end…

Promises

I promised Nesh; my colleague, to bake something from Nigella’s How to be a Domestic Goddes he bought me last year when he was sent to Chicago but never been fulfilled until today. The new oven is on the way and I hope I can bake something for him soon.

Mimi, I promised to send you macaroons, and it is not happening yet… Bear with me my dear; I’m waiting for my new oven.

Gossips

Ever since I came back from US, I heard many things about me; bad things people said about me.

I even discovered I got so many labels people have given me; they are giving me bad nicknames. 'Teletubbies', 'Eggdopper', 'Bitch'...hmmm... bring it on, or you might want to say it in front of me so that I can find a reason to ask the management to sack you...

It’s okay, keep doing what are you doing now if that makes you happy, and I keep no grudge for you, it just that I have no courage or reasons to talk to you. I hope you will always be happy, and in case you still think that I’m not over you… that is wrong because I am, and I pray that you will find your happiness too…

I think that’s about it for this post and I hope I will have something to write soon, because I miss blogging terribly…

Have a good life everyone!!!

I Still Love You

I still love you, Get A Life...

I'm not forgetting you...

Give me some time... LOL!!!

7 Things? Miley Cyrus? LOL!!!

Thanks to Sarah who tagged me for 7 things about you (myself)... which give me a reason to finally post an entry...

It has been two months of no new post for ChoikangChanglin in BlogSpot.
Here you go, 7 things about me...

1. Ever since I came back from USA, I became a blunder and bolder at the same time. My friends argued that I have a little blonde inside my head. On the other side, I look tougher; I cry less nowadays and I think I didn’t shed any serious tears yet. There are times when I think life became unbearable and my job is killing me but I’m taking it positively and try to maintain my sanity.

2. I’m feeling good, happy, taking things slowly, thinking hard, trying not to regret the past, trying to forgive and being apologetic to some in the same time but I’m enjoying my life to the fullest.

3. I’ve became a professional in pulling out a ‘poker face’.

4. Addicted to Beauty Rush and Berry Kiss from Victoria Secret... :D... weeeee!!!!! The scents of berries from Victoria Secret is so addictive... in a month, I almost finish up two tubes of Beauty Rush hand and body lotion.

5. Hunting a modest house, not trying to move out and live away from my parents but this could be a declaration of self independence and good investment for future. BTW, both of my parents are very supportive about this. Besides, I dare not to live farther away from my parents in Puchong. Therefore, I’m still looking for a house that quite close to my parents’ house with an affordable price. Thanks to my dearest colleagues; Stacey and Hanim with their endless supports and helps in finding the agents numbers and good residential area for me.

6. Gaining weight... :(!!!! I’ve stopped playing badminton few months back, before travel to USA since my bff found out that she’s pregnant. Currently, I jog when I think I have time and feeling of doing so. I want to live healthy and happy! Needing self-discipline training...

7. I’m officially an adrenalin junkie after the first time I tried sometime outside of my comfort zone. Abah was there and very supportive looking at me and cheering from the hotel window with my youngest brother when I tried the green and very height water slide. To some it was easy but not for me, because before this I would never ride anything that freaks me out even it is a ‘friendly’ look Ferris Wheel. I’m a freak! Since then, I would love to try things that I was scared of before, and I have to thanks two of my friends who constantly taking me for horror movie; they said it was for training purpose. LOL!!! I hope they will forever be okay seeing me jumping and screaming in the cinema.

Okay, thats all... I'm tagging anyone who may read this and interested writing on this... :D

P/S I've met many great people randomly who did touch my heart when I was in Chicago and I planed to write about it but I keep deleting the drafts. Will write about it soon...

Miss Home!

One more week! One more week only Lini, please bear with this.

This girl was never been away from home this long, like this two months long!

Time is ticking fairly quick and slow for me.

It's slow when I counting the days, hours and minutes to fly back home.

But it is fairly quick, when I come to realize that 2010 is coming near.

Adding another number to my age.

Melodramatic!

I wonder if I shall call myself as a girl or a woman next year.

Can I stick to the word 'girl' next year? Only next year, I promised.

I've wasted the 2009 figuring out what is next in my life; unlikely taken any action to fulfill my dreams.

Now, I'm regretting why I didn't applied for Master earlier.

Even worst, I never took IUJ application seriously after several attempts.

People said "live your life with no regret".

Maybe I should ponder deeply into this.

I should not live my life with regret, of course shits happened.

I need to rectify things, rebuild the confident in me.

Mingle with those who truly care and supportive towards me.

I promised myself to give the best effort on working hard for my carrier as a PE in 2010.

Works sincerely and try not to whine; for the sake of self satisfaction.

I will not putting any other hope towards the company.

And honestly, I'm not aftering any higher positions in this company, seriously speaking, I'm not interested!

I only see me working in this company for another year or two.

I will go for my dreams after I'm done with the one year bond.

I've been dealing with one of my former lecturer about me furthering study.

He will help me to go through with this.

My goal is to start class as soon as possible.

I dare not to waste another precious days of mine.

I'm already late for this December intake but I will try very hard to qualify myself for the April intake.

The twins birthday is the next event in my family.

Both of them are my favorite pair in this whole wide world.

I can't wait to be the party planner again.

Thinking of what is the theme. How is the cake will look like?

What shall I prepare? What shall I request to my parents to cook for the party?

Oh! My parents are the best pair too. Their cooking experties are the best!

I need to nudge my uncle and annoy him with the idea of me being party planner again.

He will be annoyed but he will enjoy my voluntary inteference in his children life.

Ajmal, along will come to see you on 8th December.

Along miss you real bad and can't wait to see you.

XOXO.

Syazwan, you may be reading this.

I forgot to thank you earlier, for being a good friend and sharing stories and ideas with me.

You are one of the best online buddy although we rarely speak in campus.

Congratulations on your wedding, and sila jangan nakal nakal.

Sexy-ly Hillarious

Favorite Shade of Black

Jacob's POV

She sighed.

"I told you---", I started to say.

"Did you know that 'I told you so' has a brother, Jacob?" she asked, cutting me off.
"His name is 'Shut the hell up' ".

"Good one".

She grinned at me. Her skin stretched tight over the bones.

"I can't take credit- I got it off a rerun of The Simpson."

"Missed that one."

"It was funny."

-Breaking Dawn-

I'm in Edward's team but this moment of Jacob and Bella is inevitable; impossible not fell in love with.
I'm reading it over and over again.
(Maafkan saya! Can't resist of Twilight Saga's obsession)

---------------------

Chicago is so fine and fun.
I have blast here, enjoying every minute to freshen up my mind.
The fact is I miss home, I miss my adik adik.
I miss hanging out with girlfriends.

Shain is good friend and companion in Chicago.
She is a protective sister, who acted more likely as a big brother to me.
More or less, I'm so thankful for her care and concern.
Thanks Shain! May Allah bless you.

I have few weeks left to cherished every free moment I have here.
But, I always end up spending hours at Barnes and Nobles; reading and shopping.
What worry me is the books which I have bought.
I may have problem with the excessive weight of luggage when I'm ready to go home in the next two weeks.
Seriously, this silly girl has bought 13 books, fiction and non fiction which most of it are hard cover.

Hamizah Aimi, can I blame you for this?
Your imaginary books club has so much influence on me.
BTW, thank you for featuring The Outliers in your blog, the book is fascinating.
I love it!

-My Appreciation-

Don Assasin,
I wish you all the best embracing new ventures.
I will miss you a lot, and it would be boring without you to rant about Wuthering Height.
We've sealed a promise for 2010's Wuthering Height ok!
Don't forget.

Zul,
Thank you for being a very good friend who is willing to accompany (online) me as I was left alone with the creepy sound at home.
You are good friend you know!
And I'm glad you like the 'i told you so' joke.

Tabi's Wifey,
I could never thank you enough for everything you have been for me.
You know I <3 you.

P/S- Favorite Shade of Black is a line from one of Katy Perry song.
And apparently, 'Mok Anim' want to be in my death note list too....
