My name can describe so much about me

I got this from Noble Ang's blog. :P (corrected d)

You entered: Tan Jian Ming

There are 11 letters in your name.
Those 11 letters total to 49
There are 4 vowels and 7 consonants in your name.

Your number is: 4

The characteristics of #4 are: A foundation, order, service, struggle against limits, steady growth.

The expression or destiny for #4:Order, service, and management are the cornerstones of the number 4 Expression. Your destiny is to express wonderful organization skills with your ever practical, down-to-earth approach. You are the kind of person who is always willing to work those long, hard hours to push a project through to completion. A patience with detail allows you to become expert in fields such as building, engineering, and all forms of craftsmanship. Your abilities to write and teach may lean toward the more technical and detailed. In the arts, music will likely be your choice. Artistic talents may also appear in such fields as horiculture and floral arrangement, as well. Many skilled physicians and especially surgeons have the 4 Expression.
The positive attitudes of the 4 Expression yield responsibility; you are one who no doubt, fulfills obligations, and is highly systematic and orderly. You are serious and sincere, honest and faithful. It is your role to help and you are required to do a good job at everything you undertake.

If there is too much 4 energies present in your makeup, you may express some of the negative attitudes of the number 4. The obligations that you face may tend to create frustration and feelings of limitation or restriction. You may sometimes find yourself nursing negative attitudes in this regard and these can keep you in a rather low mood. Avoid becoming too rigid, stubborn, dogmatic, and fixed in your opinions. You may have a tendency to develop and hold very strong likes and dislikes, and some of these may border on the classification of prejudice. The negative side of 4 often produces dominant and bossy individuals who use disciplinarian to an excess. These tendencies must be avoided. Finally, like nearly all with 4 Expression, you must keep your eye on the big picture and not get overly wrapped up in detail and routine.

Your Soul Urge number is: 2
A Soul Urge number of 2 means: With the Soul Urge number 2, your motivation is centered on friendships, partnerships, and companionship. You want to work with others as a part of a cooperative team. Leadership is not important to you, but making a contribution to the team effort is. You are willing to work hard to achieve a harmonious environment with sensitive, genial people.

In a positive sense, the 2 Soul Urge is sympathetic, extremely concerned and devoted. The nature tends to be very sensitive to others, always tactful and diplomatic. This element in your nature indicates that you are rather emotional. You are persuasive, but in a very quiet way, never forceful. You are the type that makes really close friendships because you are so affectionate and loving.

If this number is over-emphasized in your makeup, you may be over-sensitive, with a delicate ego that is too easily hurt. You may be timid or fearful, too easygoing for your own good.

Your Inner Dream number is: 11
An Inner Dream number of 11 means: You dream of casting the light of illumination; of being the true idealist. You secretly believe there is more to life than we can know or prove, and you would like to be provider of the 'word' from on high.

Anyway, i find this quite true and it talks a lot on my character. Try it here

Tennis

~I have always considered tennis as a combat in an arena between two gladiators who have their racquets and their courage as their weapons. ~Yannick Noah



~It's one-on-one out there, man. There ain't no hiding. I can't pass the ball. ~Pete Sampras

Yesterday was my first time playing tennis. Got to thank Kai Aun for inviting me. After lectures, 4 of us (Kai Aun, David, me and Zen) went to the indoor tennis court in Jalan Duta. Zen drove us there. It's quite near, about 30 minutes (considering the fact that we didn't really know the way there). We played from 6.30-8.30pm.

When we reach the indoor court, there are 3 tennis courts. 2 were already occupied. After some stretchings and warm up, Kai Aun gave us some pointers on how to play tennis. Gripping techniques and bending of the knees to increase the force and the flow of the ball. It's quite hard for 3 of us to play as we are still noobs. My 1st serve made the ball fly to the next court. I think i'm playing baseball instead of tennis la :P (HOMERUN!!!)

~Why has slamming a ball with a racquet become so obsessive a pleasure for so many of us? It seems clear to me that a primary attraction of the sport is the opportunity it gives to release aggression physically without being arrested for felonious assault. ~Nat Hentoff


It's a really fun and also a tiring game. The forehand swings kinda remind me of squash. I guess it could be the same technique used in tennis. HAHA, Kai Aun is right, it's very very different from badminton. :) Zen, thanks for driving us there and Kai Aun, thanks for booking the court and teaching us how to play :) It was fun :)


~Tennis is an addiction that once it has truly hooked a man will not let him go. ~Russell Lynes

Baby



I stared into the eyes of this 2 days old baby today in one of my home visiting sessions in Mantin. Her eyes were close as she cried. Tears flowing down from her eyes. As she openned her eyes, i felt something that i cannot explain. It's like a feeling, a non physical connection when i look at her. As though she's someone whom i would care and love although i have no blood ties with the baby. Is that what we call love? Love for humanity? an unconditional love? Some people might not know, but i always love babies. Ever since i was a kid. I'd make the same wish every year until i gave up when i turn 15. Every year, my wish did not come true. Although i was alone, especially when my parents are working, i lived a happy childhood. Being the only child is never a good thing. You may have all the toys in the world, but it's never fun playing alone. So please, if you want to have kids, dont just stop at your 1st one. =)

"Having a baby is one of the most wonderful things in your life, as well as the hardest thing in your life "

IMU ball

IMU BALL is this sunday. Is it ok if i say that i've not done any shopping for my attire? Well, no matter what we wear on the outside, the inside is definitely more important right? Does physical appearence really matters so much when it comes to prom? And i'm being ignorant to think that being neat, clean and tidy is adequate enough. Oh well, i'll be prepared when the day comes.

There's a big world out there. Bigger than prom, bigger than university, and it won't matter if you were the prom queen, prom king or the quarterback of the football team or the biggest nerd. Find out who you are and try not to be afraid of it.

Rain

I was looking up in the sky, all i could see was dark black clouds. I tried to locate the moon. Ah... found it. The moon was shining so brightly and a part of it was hidden by the black clouds. The bright light from the moon seems to shine down to the earth. Few minutes later, i could feel droplets of water falling from the sky, as though our mother earth is crying. Just as i turn to look up in the sky, it's raining... again.

I ran out, lifted my arms, trying to reach the sky and turns around like a foolish kid playing in the rain. I did not care if i would fall down, or caught a fever playing in the rain, all i did was to turn and turn and turn. It was cold and windy. It has been a long time since i've played in the rain. For years i guess. I think it was 10 years ago when i let myself feel the rain.

When is the last time you stop, look up in the sky and feel the rain? Or if it never really matters to you?

I love walking in the rain, 'cause then no-one knows I'm crying.

Funny isn't it?

Isn't it funny? To see yourself laughing and chatting happily with a friend just a couple of days ago and now that very same friend becomes your worse enemy. And it is all because of an sms. It took lots of effort, time and the support of the crews to build a ship. It has been one year plus and i would say that the ship is nearly done, just some maintenance once in a while. One year to build the ship, but only 1 day to destroy it. Nobody is perfect. Everybody has thier own strength and weaknesses. No matter what, i guess people will naturally remembers all the weaknesses which is just a handful f them than a hundreds of good deeds that a friend has done. I don't understand why is it so hard to forgive another person. Isn't that what we have practised in our daily lives through our religion.

~We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.~

Dr M not a fear factor, says Anwar


SUNGAI PETANI: Pakatan Rakyat says former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad does not have the influence to swing votes.

Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he doubted Dr Mahathir had the power to woo fence sitters in Bukit Gantang and Bukit Selambau.

“I have instructed the Pakatan machinery not to respond to issues raised by him (Dr Mahathir). We don’t have to answer. Just leave it as what apa nama (“what’s that” — a phrase Dr Mahathir usually uses when he is trying to recall something) said,” Anwar said.

Dr Mahathir is expected to campaign for Barisan Nasional candidates in Bukit Gantang and Bukit Selambau tomorrow.

On the release of 13 ISA detainees, Anwar said he welcomed Najib’s gesture in good faith. He held a dialogue session with non-governmental organisations before heading to campaign for the Bukit Gantang parliamentary by-election.

New PM : Najib
Back in UMNO : Dr. M

Are their efforts good enough to pull the voters back to UMNO? After all the terrible things we heard of in the party? Why can't the people who are in control of the country takes care of the country instead of playing with politics. When will they ever learn...
Don't stop the political tsunami. A change is a must to improve our country's development!

The Beginning of a new person

Jot this date down, because I'm back. Still working on some changes to remove all the "melancholic" elements.

There's a reason why i'm blogging again. And it is not to complain and complain again and again. It's more of a self fulfilment.

Growing up is never easy. Especially this week, where i'm faced with a couple of what i would like to call "social" problems due to my own mistakes. It's a little embarassing when you need someone to tell you to grow up and stop acting like a kid. I would like to thank a good friend for telling me truthfully about this. About how i would make a small matter as though the world is coming to an end. About how "emo" I am all the time until it gets annoying. On how oversensitive i am as a person. This just shows that i'm only human, with weaknesses that i chose to ignore for the past 1 year or maybe more.

With mistakes like these in life, this is the time where a boy (not a man) like me thinks hard... When will i be mature? When will i grow up? If i don't start now, I'll NEVER be a man. I know that i've hurt a good friend due to my weaknesses. No matter what, i'm going to try anc change this tomorrow. And not only that, I'm going to try my very best to change who i am so that i can be a man.

There will be no posts on the finals, Joan and PY. Let the past be just the past, and i'll look forward to the future and what lies in front of my journey.
