Dating 101: How to reach soul-mate status with any man

Read this on yahoo.com.. quite interesting

Dating 101: How to Reach Soul-Mate Status With Any Man

Experts say that to truly connect with a guy, you need to suss out his personality type. Read on for ways to spot, snag, and sync up with the four most common kinds of dudes.

THE ROCK

SPOT HIM

Typical interests: Organized groups (like a running club), gadgets, nonfiction books

When he's stressed, he analyzes the situation and makes lists and plans.

He lights up if you say: "I could really use your advice on something.

HE'S RIGHT FOR YOU IF...

You want your boyfriend to be a supportive, steadfast partner who shares your sensible approach to life and is smart enough to get your sometimes quirky side without judging.

You're turned on by witty, intelligent conversation and gifts that show the affection he's not so great at verbalizing.

You deal with problems by talking about them rationally. This guy's always game for reasoned debates, but drama queens will lose big -- emotional outbursts freak him out.

SYNCING UP

His favorite dates: He feels most energized when he's engaging his mind, so try watching a documentary, seeing an interesting exhibit, or taking a class, such as sushi making.

Relationship requirements: This dedicated dude gets totally absorbed in his interests. If you don't even ask about them ("How was Shark Week?"), he'll feel like you don't get him. He's also tuned in to etiquette, so gaffes (like bailing on plans) turn him off.

What he seeks in a soul mate: To really trust you, he has to know that you respect his cerebral nature. Help coax out his playful side with plans he'd never make on his own and he'll see you as the total package.

THE DOER

SPOT HIM

Typical interests: Sports (playing and watching), barbecuing, building things

When he's stressed, he dives in and deals with the cause, whether it means extra hours at work or a showdown.

He lights up if you say: "Is there anything you can't make happen?"

HE'S RIGHT FOR YOU IF...

You want your boyfriend to be the classic male archetype -- a protective, take-charge dude who doesn't yap about his feelings but lets his guard down when alone with you.

You're turned on by grand gestures, like spontaneous PDAs, and manly deeds, like changing your car's oil.

You deal with problems directly without any passive-aggressive BS. He's quick to confront conflict. If you are too, your issues will disappear once you hash them out.

SYNCING UP

His favorite dates: His heart beats faster (figuratively and literally) when he's active, so suggest a hike in the woods or a boxing class followed by drinks.

Relationship requirements: This on-the-go guy needs solo time to recharge and will feel smothered if you are clingy. You'll need a thick skin, because he doesn't sugarcoat things...ever.

What he seeks in a soul mate: His he-man side needs you to appreciate his efforts to lead. But under his strong, silent exterior, he's a superloyal softie. He feels complete when you can talk about the feelings that he internalizes.

THE THRILL CHASER

SPOT HIM

Typical interests: Outdoor activities (like camping and skiing), foreign travel, parties and crowds

When he's stressed, he distracts himself with something amusing, like watching the game or organizing a social outing.

He lights up if you say: "Oh, you have a fascinating story about that -- c'mon, tell everyone."

HE'S RIGHT FOR YOU IF...

You want your boyfriend to be a whirlwind of personality who can liven things up, make you laugh, get you out of your head, and keep you guessing...in a good way.

You're turned on by unpredictable, exciting plans.

You deal with problems in a casual, nonconfrontational way. Mr. Conflict Avoidance hates when you're unhappy with him and will deflect attention unless you tackle the issue.

SYNCING UP

His favorite dates: This class clown loves being around new people -- think karaoke night or a charity casino event. He's also thrilled by new accomplishments, like scaling a rock wall at the gym.

Relationship requirements: He needs a laissez-faire chick who won't try to rein in his inner wild child. He is willing to share the spotlight, just not all of it.

What he seeks in a soul mate: The ultimate people person bonds best with an ever-evolving woman who can match his lust for new experiences. He craves independence yet still needs to know he's important to you, so being secure enough to show you care is a must.

THE SWEETHEART

SPOT HIM

Typical interests: Music, cooking dinner for friends, reading literature

When he's stressed, he talks about it with confidants until he finds a solution.

He lights up if you say: "I never would have noticed that. You're so observant!"

HE'S RIGHT FOR YOU IF...

You want your boyfriend to be a guy who truly listens, understands your girlie side, and can talk about feelings.

You're turned on by sweet, movie-worthy romance, like slow kisses and crazy-great compliments.

You deal with problems by honestly addressing them and taking emotions into consideration. He's a philosopher at heart, and even if you two don't agree in the end, you'll learn tons about each other during your in-depth discussions.

SYNCING UP

His favorite dates: Atmosphere matters to this sensualist, so find a spot with a romantic vibe (try a botanical garden or outdoor jazz concert) for the real highlight: your ever-intensifying one-on-one bond.

Relationship requirements: This nurturer tries to know everyone he meets on a deeper level, which can be rough if you're the jealous type. Also, he's so into connecting that he'll feel dissed if you don't share your problems.

What he seeks in a soul mate: This idealist falls when he knows you value communication too. Because he tends to ruminate, you'll enhance his life by being decisive yourself.

Rules of the tag:- Link to your tagger and post these rules in your blog. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.


Fact 1 [random]
I am a dominant lefthanded. like really2 lefthanded. makan jer tangan kanan. but my tulisan is senget to the right, which makes my handwriting looks like a right handed. and the way i pegang my pen pun mcm seorang right handed. tp the difficult part is when we have flipchairs which is tailor-made for right handed, really pisses me off.. Susah laa huhuhu... and of course, the potong2 bit eg. pisau, tempat nak menggarukan carrot or timon.. things like dat, reminds me that i am lefthanded.. discrimination! huhuhu

Fact 2 [weird]
I have this thing about nasi putih. Before i have my meal, lunch or dinner, i mesti nak makan sket dulu nasi putih before pouring the kuah on my nasi. in fact, i can eat satu mangkuk nasi putih sahaja... i can eat nasi impit begitu sahaja pun best.. (its some weird habit i have since my tuition teacher masa form 2 suruh experiment makan nasi putih, it tastes sweet because although its carbohydrate, ada unsur2 glucose dlm tu..) so everytime i wanna eat nasi putih, i will taste the sweetness dulu before i indulge in other lauk and kuah.. weird ay ? ooh.. and my day will be incomplete without nasi even for abit.

Fact 3 [random gk la]
I used to want to be in the spotlight. mcm nak jadi hostess tv show ke, penyanyi ke or actress. (i think we all had that dream right? heheh) in fact, i still had dat dream sampai dah besar jugak laa.. hehe but it all terkabur kot when i changed my ambition nk jadi Doctor konon tapi tak jadi because apparently they want like CGPA 4.00 for matriculations??? so i took Actuarial Science instead.. ooh and the part being in the spotlight bit, i decided to be orang belakang tabir mcm write scripts for drama mase skolah, directed drama.. and things like dat.. but never acted.. hehe.. tp kdg2 if ada audition ape2 ke teringin gak nak try.. just for the fun of it.. hehehe..

Fact 4 [weird]
ok, this is really weird. but everytime i change to a new boss, not long after that, i will change job. freaky huh ? ok, tak nak elaborate more on that kot

Fact 5 [random]
When Im driving alone in a car, I will change stations everytime there's a new song on air.. till the song that i like will be on air.. and if all stations takde lagu yg best, i will listen to my cd. and i always put it on random mode and keep on changing till i find the song that i really wanna listen at that time.

Fact 6 [random]
I am quite good at impersonating people. hehe.. i always get this "eh, jadi aaa! sebijik mcm ******"

Fact 7 [ random]
I can live without tv. I can live without music (sekarang la). but i cannot live without the internet. why ? because my significant other is on the other side of the world. and that is the main channel of communication for us. and even if he is busy with work or doing something else, i still need the internet. plus, there's always something you can learn from the internet.

7 lucky people that I tag are as follows: -
Shaz Zain
Adina
Dyanna
Sue
Cousin Kak Mimi
Nadia
Ani

Hehe.. nama dipilih berdasarkan siapa yang slalu baca my blog (i know you people read my blog hehehehe) and yang belum ditag oleh Sheri hehehehe... Good luck people!

Big Bands and Swing

I have always adored and admired the lifestyle of the rich and famous. Wouldn't it be nice to have their convenience, their comfort, having almost everything possible under the sun.

Why the sudden materialistic side of me popped out? I am right now listening to Glenn Miller's Big Band Sounds. I imagine myself suddenly in a foreign land and suddenly its 1954. (cewah tiba2) I am getting ready to go to catch the live show at some fancy orchestral hall that starts at 8.. with my last touch up make up powder, I grab my pashmina shawl to keep me warm in the hall. The limo arrives and my significant other passes me the white gloves and walks with me to the limo.

cocktails before the show, i listen to people laughing and gentleman dressed in a 3-piece suit and lovely ladies in their gowns and dresses with the high heels complete with diamonds. and don't forget that diamond necklace that shines from far.

i see our own version of Marilyn Monroe (cewah.. ntah dari mana datangnya) and she wears a lovely white dress and her hair is nicely done with curls and a dangling pair of ear ring that matches nicely with her necklace and handbag. she is being surrounded by men on each side. giggling and making innuendos to other people's husband that makes other ladies gag. I shake my head and the show is about to start. people walking towards the entrance and checking their tickets for their seats. The ones who has the most expensive tickets walks confidently in front to the VIP door..

i take my seat next to my significant other and the lights dim. I close my eyes and hear the soothing sound of Moonlight Serenade that gently brings me back to my office in Batang Berjuntai where i am wearing a baju kurung with a stack of papers to be checked.. back to reality....

would be nice if i cud see Glenn Miller though...

Day off

I took the day off today. At first I wanted to spend the day alone watching High School Musical the movie. but i did that on Saturday with my nephew and niece. So I changed the plan. I wanted to go to area2 KL with my mom. we wanted to look at some stuff. but then, tak jadi. plus i wasnt in the mood. so i stayed at home and cook instead.

so today i became a wanita misali. i cooked. dua lauk.
1. kari ikan.
2. sayur campo.

jadi ke x? i dunno. tgk komen orang...

Few mins later:

-yeay passed! woo hoo!

Lost In Translation

The ones who can communicate well are the ones who can convey the message to others as clear as possible. without having people asking "apa yg dia ckp?" . if more than one person asks the same question, that would mean the speaker did not convey the message clearly.

I went to a course yesterday and a speaker spoke of "kejelasan penjelasan". which made me laugh like a hyenna. heh heh.. interesting stuff.. even though towards the end, there were less than 25 people who stayed. lucky for me, i stayed till the end. not because i am skema or what, i feel that its unfair for people who has already worked hard for organizing the seminar, we should be thankful that we gained more knowledge through such events.

there's just one thing that bothers me though. i am right now, lost, in translation. i guess, most of the time i try so hard to be as clear as possible, that it becomes something that is so abstract and in the end, i myself get lost. really i do. so i have decided to be on hiatus on my thoughts and translations that got me lost at the first place. i wanna untangle the entangled bit and rationalize the irrational misconception concepts. "kejelasan penjelasan".

i remember things were much easier in the 80s. see. thats one of my flaws. i am still living in the past. and i look to far above and beyond. i don't really 'live' in the present. i admit that that is one of my weaknesses that took me to a turn into getting lost.. in translation.

no matter how clear you are, how certain you may be, you might just get lost somewhere in the middle.. somewhere through this journey. i tell my students.. those are called alpha.. or Type 1 error in hypothesis testing. see, in statistics, one powerful tool to analyze is using hypothesis testing when you make and assumption and allow a certain level of errors cause you are never 100% sure of your assumptions.

So what to do now? Is there evidence to Reject H null ?
Gosh, just for this one bit, i do not have the answer...

Into the Blue, Alpha and Yellow and time value

watching SUPERHOT jessica alba (oh, come on.. am i wrong??) in Into The Blue made me feel like jumping in here :




Wish I could have this one day:
Dari manakah asalnya gambar2 nih ? Definitely not from me. Hehe.. I told my students to go on a holiday after their finals to refresh, rejuvinate and rewind (sepatutnya unwind tapi nak jugak the re- hehehe ).

After giving their Test 1 results, ada yang muka2 hampa, muka2 terkejut, muka2 (aku dah agak dah), and ada yg muka whatever... So I gave them a little boost in their confidence.. I don't think I am their favourite lecturer and I definitely teach their least most favourite subject, hehe.. But I think I can dive into their minds a little and put myself in their shoes. So I try my best to be the one lecturer that they are not afraid of to ask questions at the same time not the one they can mess around with.. (not an easy job, really) .. But its a teaching and learning process.. everyday i teach and i learn new characters, new tricks, old tricks (been there, done that), new perspective, new ideas on how to make the learning experience exciting and memorable. Only that, the one who evaluates me (SKT aka dalam bhs omputih is KPI) are the ones who never entered my class. based on surveys conducted during the end of the semester. where students just tick 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, if they like the lecturer or 1,1,1,1,1 for their least favourite lecturer.

In statistics, to test the reliability of the survey data is through Cronbach alpha. but how sincere are we when we answer survey forms? being a statistician myself, when i answer survey, i can say that 80% of the time I am honest, the rest of the time, i just wanna finish it quickly and get it over with. but there are times that i really answer the survey honestly when i feel that they can benefit from it. with the hopes that from that data, they can somehow formulate a new solution for the issue addressed in the survey.

Anyway, I'm thinking of changing to DiGi. Since I can maintain my supercool number.. hehehe.. Or should I wait for other networks to announce their MNP and see which gives the superlowest offer ?


Gimme your thoughts DiGi people ? Will they follow me ? Like everywhere ? Even in my campus yg jauh dan selalu takde line Maxis itu ? Seems like all networks are all out in marketing their services. I think at one point, the sms service will be free... will they ? u think ? remember in 2000, smses used to be 30sen and for one darned misscall yang sempat diangkat will cost you 60sen. and a frigging prepaid costed me rm238! i can top up a few ringgit and almost buy new lenses! that was the value at that time..

heh, remember the days without hp ? and public phones ? and meeting up in a middle of kl and not get lost? those days were based on trust, punctuality and public phones.. i think we took for granted that since mobile phones are well... mobile, we tend to procastinate and became less punctual. cause it's just a phone call away. so these days are based on handphones, smses and.. internet.. which is not a bad thing if we use it wisely..

okla, tajuk blog ni makin lama making pjg and labels pun dah jadi banyak sbb dia rojak kan.. so i'll stop now.



**actually i was waiting for someone to come around while writing this.. maybe dia penat kot**
