Your Major and Minor Personality Types

• Your major personality type = Explorer
• Your minor personality type = Negotiator

You are an EXPLORER / negotiator

You are a highly spontaneous person who always likes to try new things. Novel and unpredictable situations don't bother you; instead you find them challenging and exciting.

You tend to be focused and resourceful and you are able to juggle a lot of projects at the same time; as a result you are sometimes a whirlwind of activity.

You have a firm grip on reality and enjoy living in the present tense. But you have a keen imagination that enables you to lift off from time and space to be remarkably creative.

You are humorous. You are able to laugh at yourself, and you like entertaining others.

You have a deep sense of compassion. You can show genuine insight into the needs of others; you are good at listening and talking; and you express a genuine desire to be helpful.

Yet you are easy-going. Your tolerance for others and their beliefs, your lack of prejudice, your ability to compromise and your occasional antics make you popular with others and a great companion.

How your personality breaks out

Characteristics of all four personality types can be found within each of us, but there is almost always one personality type that is dominant. We call this the major personality type.

The Personality Profile also identifies your minor or secondary personality type. You exhibit some aspects of this personality type, though not to the same degree as with your major type.

E -Explorer - 30%	N -Negotiator - 27%
B -Builder - 26%	D -Director - 17%

Builder, 26%: Usually very popular. Deep attachment to home and family. Calm demeanor and low anxiety. Often consistent, loyal and protective.

Explorer, 30%: Known for high energy, high creativity and spontaneity. Seeks novelty, risk and pleasure. Intellectually curious and not easily swayed by opinion.

Negotiator, 27%: Excels at seeing the big picture, long-term planning and consensus building. An intuitive thinker who is flexible, verbal and socially skilled. Imaginative, empathetic and nurturing.

Director, 17%: Daring, original, direct and inventive. A non-conformist. Skilled at abstract thinking and short-term planning. Often assertive and quite competitive. Tough-minded and efficient.

People I Heart

Today was...

Meet-the-people-I love day:))

Anyways, I finally got my resume ready today.

I told myself...THAT'S IT! Enough procrastination

already!!!So bloody hell just sit down and get it done.

And I did! I was so excited when I finished it. Sent it

over to SAFRA cos dad had been asking me about it

since GOD-knows-when, and also sent one to Resort

World just for the fun of it...Who knows...I didn't really

know how to make one but I managed to find my PPP

(Professional Preparation Programme) notes and just

copied the format. I ended up writing a 3 page resume.

Took the CIRCLE LINE to meet X earlier. Didn't know

it was already open till X told me so. :))))))))))))))))))

Tabla HORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Since when hugging became weird?! Stop trying to conform

to the ideal hug position...A freaking hug is a freaking hug no

matter what position it is!

Decided to catch up with Ct on my way home and ended up

reaching home at almost 2 am.

OKAY DARLING FREAKS.

I AM FREAKING TIRED NOW.

I NEED TO GO TO THE PASAR TOMORROW MORNING.

GOODNIGHT!

Pretty nails

Bubblegum nails:))

Yum!

I miss X

It's IN!!!

Hey if you have read my previous

post and thought how dumb can this

girl be, please...Ignore what I said cos

today, it is IN!!! :))

I managed to figure out how to stuff

those tiny little cotton looking bullets

in and I am so freaking happy! Now,

no more wasting of tampons.

Yay!

waste my money!

So this is the story...

I went to Guardian to do a little

toiletry shopping...and there were

a few important things on my mind

that I need to urgently get and one

of those things was actually tampons.

Cos yeah I have ran out of those stuff.

So then I was browsing the 'Feminine

Hygiene' section and saw several brands

of tampons, all of those I haven't tried,

except for Playtex Gentle Glide tampons.

Oh and by the way it really glides:))

And looking at the array of tampons

in different packaging and colours

and sizes, I got all spoilt for choice.

And finally, I decided to just go for the

sleekest looking packaging which is by

Kotex (which is pretty new-as compared

to the others- in the market)...And so

happily, I bought it.

Back home, while I was trying it out,

MY GOD!, I couldn't get it in and you

know why? It didn't come with the

plastic applicator thingy...And I was

like........HOW THE HELL ARE YOU

SUPPOSED TO FREAKING INSERT
A FREAKING DRY HARDENED

COTTON TAMPON IN THERE MAN?!

IT DOESN'T EVEN FREAKING GLIDE!!!

And now I have 15 unused and will never

be used tampons with me. Such a waste!

I should have sticked to my usual.

Oh well.

yesterday.

Bloody hell! I'm still not working

on my freaking resume! Gosh!

Anyways, the big news of the

previous day is...

NUS had accepted me. But...

there is a HUGE BUT to this

supposedly awesome news

and that is THEY FREAKIN'

OFFERED ME CHEMISTRY!

I can't do chemistry for nuts man!

You guys know that right?

Right Mary? All those inorganic

and analytical chemistry, INAC,

Joseph Kueh's module...I was

struggling with those modules!

And doing Chemistry at a much

more advanced level will just

mean suicide for me man!

I'm in between a rock and a

hard place (new phrase from X)

How.......................................? :'(

Had a date with darling Tabla

in the evening. Oh I miss her

so much! Watched Date Night

which was fucking hilarious.

It made us laugh so hard our

intestines could explode man!

You people should go watch it.

:))

OKBYEFREAKS!

why?

this is ridiculous!

why am I crying like a baby?

and why is it that I feel such

a heartache?

14th April 2010, Wednesday.

Met J for lunch today at NUS.

Went to Munchie Monkeys Cafe

somewhere within Yusof Ishak Hall.

I think J is a scientist. HAHAHA.

Academically brilliant person J is.

Do I feel inferior? No, not really cos

I know where this is going ;))

Anyways, I brought my appetite

along just like J told me to the night

before.

Walked back to J's office.

Hanged around for a while...

I wasn't really sure why we were there

in the first place...J then drove us to

Starbucks at fusionopolis...J then decided

to bring me the sky garden on the 23rd floor.

Security was tight man...J is a member

of the gym there there so yeah...I entered as

a guest visitor...The view was quite good from

up there...Was pretty windy too. Nice.

2 hours.

2 hours was all it took...

12 April 2010, Monday.

The day of the interview at SMU.

Interview at 4pm.

Left home at about 10am.

The damn computer at the photo

shop wasn't working so I had to travel

all the way to Bouna Vista to get my

NUS Financial Aid documents printed.

Then took the train again to Clementi

to get to school (Ngee Ann Poly) to get

my testimonial and PSRP Award Cert

from Dr Susan...After which, I ran down

to the Student Service Center to get my

first 5 sem's results printed out cos SMU

needed it for verification. And I had to

pay 3 bucks for each semester's result

transcript.Kannabeh. So then I took the

bus down to NUS Admin Office to drop

off my Financial Aid documents...

By the time I reached the Bouna Vista MRT

to make my way down to Dhoby Ghuat,

it was already 2.10pm...

Text-ed X.

Train-ed down to City Hall to have lunch

with X. Was spontaneous:)) I like.

Cabbed to SMU from City Hall.

It was ridiculously near but oh well

didn't want to be late and sweating all

over...So yeah.

Reached SMU early...

Registered myself...

Waited for my turn...

...

......

.........

............

...............

And it was my turn!

It was a pretty tough interview.

Much tougher than the one I had

with hot sociologist from NTU...

I tell you...till this day, I am still

haunted by the interview I had

at SMU. Kept thinking of stuff that

I should have said and stuff I wished

I did not say...I was practically grilled

with an open flame by the two woman

professors I assume. The interview felt

pretty long and I feel that it actually was

pretty long...Part of me would like to

make myself feel better by saying that

they were interested to hear out my views

but the other part of me is saying that

they didn't wanna let me go cos they

haven't gotten what they wanted out of me.

Oh my God! I'm going crazy just thinking

about it!

And now I'm left anxiously waiting for

a response-a call, an sms, an e-mail,

a letter, whatever-. I need a response.

Respond to me pleeeease SMU.................

OK back to the recollection of my day.

So after the interview, I train-ed back to

Bouna Vista where Duane picked me up

and drove to TLL where we met archaria,

DQ and the 2 new interns...Waited a bit for

them to complete their experiments before

heading to Furama Hotel for dinner...

I had the most sashimi in my entire life

that night at the buffet man! Awesomeness.

We ate and talked and talked and talked and

laughed and laughed and laughed...

It was a nice cozy reunion:))

Duane drove me to the nearest MRT.

Train-ed down to Simei.

Flagged a cab.

Was completely drained by the time I got home.

The bed was the only thing on my mind:))

Oh oh...Met Suz for lunch on Sunday.

Got pressies from her.

Yay!

10th April 2010

Met Mary.

Got our nails done at Juup Nails

at 123 Devonshire Road. I must

say...It a pretty nice place to relax

and get nails done...Complimentary

free flow of beverages, Hershey Kisses

and biscuits...Definitely a plus point:))

Upgraded my complimentary express

manicure to a Juup Spa Mani and Pedi.

Includes a soak, scrub and a mask on

top of the classic Mani and Pedi. I love

the mineral mask! It actually gets super

cold as time goes by...

Absolutely heavenly.

9th April 2010

Got a call from SMU while driving

to Jurong. Thank God somebody

was there to pick it up.

Interview for SMU's School of Econs

and Social Science, Monday, 12/04,

4 pm.

Later that night Papa handed me

a letter form NTU. Guess what?

NTU accepted moi :))

But actually, I'm more keen to hear

from SMU...Oh well, we'll see.

7th April 2010

Mary and I had the NTU-NIE interview

at the MOE building at Bouna Vista on

the very same day! How fun is that?:))

So we met earlier to grab lunch before

heading for the interview... So the plan

was to head down to Cathay to get free

B&J ice cream after dropping off the

supporting documents at SMU (it was

the last day for the submission btw).

After the interview, Mary's shoes were

giving her major problems for her footies.

So she actually bought a pair of BLUE

slippers which costs her 4 bucks!

MARY, I still think it was so off.

But yeah, I understand.

Anyways...We train-ed down to Dhoby Ghaut

then make our way to SMU's Office Of Undergrad

Admissions which was the furthest away from

the Plaza Singapura which was by the way quite

a walkable distance...But since we both are lazy-ass

people, we decided to cab there instead...My God!

I took us so damn long to get a freaking cab which

by the way was shared with another man...

After dropping off our supporting docs we wanted

to head back to Cathay and yes we were too lazy to

walk back there so we took a cab which costs us

almost 10 bucks or even slightly more than that

but the kindhearted taxi man asked for only 7 bucks

i think...Nice old malay pakcik:)

So we thought we could get free B&J ice cream

after a pretty long and tiring day. But guess what?

The freaking free B&J ice cream redemption was

fully redeemed for that freaking day! My goodness!

But what the heck...We still had B&Js :))

What a day man!

Cancelled my clubbing plan cos I was too tired.

Make it up to it by dropping by Sally's to get

my nails done:)) Sally is moving out by the end

of this month to BEDOK! :(( But she said...if me

and a couple of my friends would like to get our nails

done, we can give her a call and she'll drive down

to our place!!! I like her...My favourite manicurist

to date.

Ok.That's all.

6th April 2010

Again we had to beg and plead Z to

come along with us to Boat Quay's

Mind Cafe...Trust me...It took all the

3 of us to persuade him to finally agree.

We thought it would be a great idea for

the 4 of us to finally get together and

hang out plus I was given permission

from mama to drive out since my b'day

was just one day ago...

So yeap...even picked Z up from school

before heading to Boat Quay. The games

and all were fun BUT I just can't help but

be so fucking annoyed by Z. Why the fuck

must he make the whole fucking thing

between us so fucking awkward....

Are you fucking mute?!

I'm right in front of you and all you did

was keep you fucking mouth shut?!

What the fuck are you trying to do?!

You know what I'm just so fucking sick

of you I don't even mind not ever seeing

you ever in my entire fucking lifetime!

And what? You think msg-ing me as if

everything is okay and nothing happened

is okay?! What the fuck man?!

When I'm right smack in front of your eyes

you don't say a fucking word...and days later

when I'm not right smack in front of your

eyes then you wanna start texting me.

What the fuck is wrong with you man!?

You know what Z...I don't even care.

Screw you!

Thank you so much for spoiling my day.

That's it.

I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU ZAKI.

You are nothing but a waste of my fucking time!

The Fifth Day of April 2010

hey everybody...

So on my birthday, the plan was to...

wait a minute...there weren't any plans

made besides meeting up with darling F

and maybe hang out somewhere and

chill and stuff then head back to her place

to get my birthday cake, specially baked

with TLC by none other than F herself:)

Yeap...so I decided to hang out around Arab

Street as I wanted to get my nails done at

this place WAWA told me about plus there

are lots cool places to walk around and hang

out too. So we went there.

The plan started to twist a little when I got

a call from M. We talked for a while and he

did the obligatory birthday wish and all that

stuff and asked me to pass the phone to F.

But at that moment, I didn't really suspect

anything cos I just thought he was just

being him...

To cut the story short...

F and M did a spontaneous surprise for moi:)

And the next thing I knew I saw M sitting

outside Nabins waiting for us to arrive.

How sweet lah...So we went upstairs where

where we were served with a huge platter of

neatly arranged delicious junk and each a Halib

Falastin, which by the way, is the most awesomest

beverage ever created! Oh Oh, not forgetting

the CherryMint Shisha which was already waiting

for us at our table:))

After eating ad talking and shisha-ing M went

down for a while and I thought he was settling

the bill or something but to my surprise, he actually

came up with a birthday cake with two candles

on top...I swear to you my jaw dropped down and

hit the freaking floor...

Aww ain't he such a sweetheart?

The thing that SHOCKED me the most was the

fact that F agreed to allow M to join us...I mean

she's not normally like that so I was pleasantly

surprised:)) Thanks babe.

So M drove both of us back to F's house to collect

my 2nd birthday cake of the day.

On my way back home...I walked back home btw...

Carrying a huge red bag 2 whole cakes in it.So anyways,

I bumped into Ct and we planned to meet up for

dinner a little later cos I couldn't stuff anymore

food down my throat after lunch at Nabins.

Then dinner came...

I drove us to Eastpoint for dinner at the all-so-nostalgic

18 Chefs....BUT, I didn't like the place cos it was sooo

freaking noisy! My goodness! So then we decided to

just walk around to find a suitable decent place for

dinner and we ended up at Eatzi Place I think...

To summarize our dinner, I would say that it is

good to know somebody who works at restaurant

that you happen to dine in PLUS also good to have

friends celebrating their birthdays on that day too

because you'll end up getting lots of 'complimentary'

stuff. It was nice when they served my birthday cake

with a candle on top complete with 'Happy Birthday'

moo-sic played out loud in the restaurant:))

So yeah...My 20th had been pretty spontaneous.

I loike:)

Muacks freaks!

TWO-ZERO

START.

I refuse to step on the weighing scale

cos I know, and I can feel it in my tummy,

that I have piled on a significant amount

of kilograms over the past few months.

And it really bothers me like to the core.

Number one would be the 'feel-disgusting

no-matter-what-you-wear issue', made

worse by the fact that you know there are

some excess fat hanging somewhere in your

arms lah, giggling happily around your belly

lah and all the other unsightly places you and

I both know where lah...And so secondly, not

so much how I feel, it's more about how clothes

don't actually fit nicely anymore...And oh yah,

PICTURES!!!You can so see the difference. Eeew!

And the list goes on and on and on and on.

I've done this before and I'm gonna do it again.

Gosh!It never seem to freaking end man!

Like a freaking yo-yo.

Up.Down.Up.Down.

So, I, Nurraini Bte Salim,

will start doing something about it starting tomorrow:)

Just like any other countdowns............................................................

DO NOT ANALYZE!

I swear I heard you say "I love you"

but I pretended not to listen...

sore and itchy

One of the many things that amazes me

is how siblings can end up having a huge

fight over something really small or even

over nothing at all...Amazing.

And as a result of what I just mentioned,

my sister is spending the night outside.

Yeap...I chased her out of the room.

I already feel bad.

Lip Smacking Strawberry Cheesecake

I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!

Yes. Me being me.

I took the opportunity to indulge in a free cone of ice cream:)

Think I'm gonna do that again soon...this time bringing my result slip along.

If only they are generous enough to give a scoop for every A,

I'd get a towering 7 scoops in my freaking cone!

Coolness.

(Read the text in the last picture if you're lost)

Let's talk about 'WHIP IT'.

I actually feel like learning to skate man!

The movie made it look so cool. And one day, when I get really good,

I'm gonna try out for roller derby just like Babe Ruthless.

And maybe get myself a bad ass roller girl name,

say, Raini Radiation or Deadly Raini or Vexatious R.

Vexatious R...

Ohh I like...The sound of it makes me wanna uuh~

Oh boy I can go on and on...

Anyways, go watch it.

The only ones who actually dared to Laugh Out Loud

were you and me, Tabla. :))

Moving on...

Remember I told you guys about the time when I

accidentally bit on a fork positioned nicely in between my

two lower front teeth (w/o realizing it), resulting in

the slight displacement of one of them?

I was depressed for a while. But just for a while.

Anyways...

I was having a nap earlier on today.

And I had this urgh dream...

I dreamt that something happened and that

slightly displaced tooth of mine got loose and fell.

I remembered my mouth all bloddy.

OK I AM GONNA STOP NOW.

I'm shortlisted to go for another interview.

7th Apr.

2pm.

NTU again...

No news from NUS:(

Web camming mischief

with Mr where-Sangria-came-from :)

I love Sangria.

OK Bye Freaks!

Back to my 'A Thousand Splendid Suns'.
