what's my temperment?

My dear big sister, Ming, had her parents visit her for 11 days. They left early this morning... and just before leaving, he was speaking to a small group of us about this website that u can take a little test to see what temperament you are. (click link above)

Its not 100% accurate of course and we are just trying it out for fun. But anyways, i took the test and it seems like i'm an Idealist. Pretty true i think.... i have all these great ideas on how cool everything could be... but getting down to doing it etc really kills me sometimes...

so the idea is to find out your type and try to balance it out... coz your 'apparent strength could become your weakness'. And being too extreme in one area isn't the best option..... everything seems to be about balance, no?

Shopping?

My dear big sister, Ming & I wanted to go to a supermarket on Friday afternoon to buy some groceries for a dinner that we were preparing for later that night. So we get on to a bus and alighted at the destination, only to find this Israeli security person blocking our way.
There was a group of Israelis around us too and no one could get through.
At this point, Ming and I were trying to figure out what was happening and this Israeli just kept driving us all away and he shouted something in Hebrew. That was when everyone around us started to move away.

Curious, we asked this lady what was going on. She went, "uh... umm..... u know BOMB. Bomb" with large hand movements to emphasize what she was saying. We got the message and abandoned our shopping trip for now, walked across the road to this Hamburger place for lunch.The burger place was really good and after lunch, we discovered the supermarket was back to business and so we went shopping for groceries.

What I learnt from the bomb scare, in Israel, Life just goes on.....
