Personality Test
why dont have a go?
http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx
Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
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:
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.
The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.
How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
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.
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.

How Do Guys Practice on Break-ups
Well, we all know that it's sometimes tough to tell bad news to one because of that it is we instead who get hurt. Well lets just scroll odwn to some typical break-up lines which people start with.
1.We need to talk.
2.It's not your fault. It's me.
3.I've lied.
4.Do you remember when I’ve said everything is alright?
5.You are like a sister/brother to me.
6.I think we would be better off friends.
7.I don't love you any more.
8.Do you really want to know why I go out to dinner with my assistant?
9.Have you always been so boring?
10.Give me back my keys.
O-yea anf theres also the phone break up. abd its the worse of them all. Would you believe/accept the other texted you a break-up messege?? Here's a clip how guys practice on break-ups
To those who aren't great in the break-up department, here are some pointers on the subject.
Break Up Rules
Do not avoid the subject. It's best to get it over with as soon as possible. The longer you wait the harder it will get.
Remain calm.
You don't want to stir up mixed emotions or send mixed signals. It could only make it worse.
Talk about it.
It's always best to state your opinion on why you want to break up. This is so your 'someone' (soon to be ex.) will not question it and think there may still be something between you.
Try not to blame each other.
it only makes things worse and may cause aggressiveness.
It's always best to do it in person,
unless of course this person is abusive by any means. Then it's best to either call or write a letter, even better, have a friend tell the person. It's a horrible way to break up, but if it's a last resort, do it.
After the break up, do not go back
- no matter what. You broke up for a reason, remember it. You might think this person has changed, but they truly haven't. People do not change over short periods –- no matter how convincing that person might be.

Starting the Year Of The OX with a Loss
It was the day known as yesterday aka Friday i was on the railway station filled with people bustling their way to work. As i stepped into the train i wondered how could i do this as a routine... and i set a reminder to myself to never get a job in KL... Its so freaking pack!! I cant barely feel my feet at time squishing between mountains of people. But... i took my time n prayed in my heart " Thank God i am "BIG" and tall LOL" So, the journey took 20 minutes to KL Sentral and i had to switch to the Monorail to get to Berjaya Time Square which took about 15 minutes to get there and 10 minutes to wait in line... The minutes of waiting gives u tim to explore our surroundings as i could see amazing and eccentric outfits which spells "L.A.L.A." all around me. And i look at myself n thought " i feel out of place but lucky there were the norms aka working class people also on board the train. As i reached the mall i took out my phone and read the details of sms about the office " Starbucks Office 10th floor". Iwent to the elevator and saw read " this elevator onli takes u to floor 2,4,5,6,7,9,11,14,15" So i thought aiya press la go 9th floor then go up 1 more floor.Then ,WTH whats with the dumb elevator... Why u may ask i cursed... Its not even on or working... Firstly i tot i wanted to climb 10 floors of not running escalators but i was like Jason dun be crazy u cant even run 15 m without panting... I went to option 3 Go to the Starbucks cafe on Ground floor and ask them. So i got down and asked before even entering i saw another elevator which travels to floor 10 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Ting*
I reached the 10th floor and found out its filled with food court stalls... "Are you sure its the 10th floor" i asked my phone... So my feet and eyes was force to go round and round til i finally found
a green siren with a green circle.So 1st day of training started i guess at that very point. First Lesson " HIstory of Starbucks" Groan~ malasnya... and on and on it went tilmy brain couldnt stuff no more.So what people may ask whats the loss about going to training? Its not about the training? Its about what happen on the training without the -ing Get it? Ok fine I got pickpocketed my phone's gone. The End....GGGGRRRRRR Stupid arse who stole my phone Curse him!!!

Weekly Update

Starbucks
All work was fine until a partner of mine told me there's a rumour about Starbucks funding the Israelis militants against Gaza. So, after hearing this story i felt a little sick to my stomach and tried to find out about stuff a little more. After asking and looking all over the place, i came to a conclusion that it is just a rumour and there was nothing to panic about because i dont think the company to fund a unnecessary war and because of this incident Starbucks stocks have crashed down to the bottom and 2/3 of outlets in Australia have been shut down due to these rumours. Well, if this rumour happen to be true i don't think i have a mood to work in a company which support stupid violence because they cant agree on some religion thingy.so Whatever...
On the bright side American Idol Season 8 Is Back!!!
hahahahhahahahahhaahahhahahahaha and so is my other favourite tv series i see a light in my days shinign so bright is it to heaven?? No its just to my TV...

Interview NIGHTMARE
Say What?!
Stoooooo-peee-deee-teeee Strrr-yyyykke-ssss aaaaa-gaaiiin!!!
Well the day went on fine til i got a call " Hi Jason, u applied a job as a part time Barista in Starbucks Tropicana Mall Can u make it to the interview today at 6"
And so the story begins. I was there before 6 and i joined the other Baristas on a Coffee tasting Session. Todays coffee was a Kenyan Brew. I never knew that coffee taste other than bitter or sweet. This tasted soury or they say citrusy because of its grapefruitty flavour and after that the nightmare started
So, the title says pretty much the scenario of the case. It was going quite smoothly.Okay maybe not smoothly, quite a lot of bumps as i kinda got stuck in a few questions.
Brain fluidity score = 3 1/2 out of 10
It was all normal questions pretty much
Example 1 Why did u pick Starbucks?
Example 2 Why do u think i should hire u?
and then he asked "Why do u wanna work here?"
Answer : Tomorrow
OMG! TOOOOMMMMOOORRROOOOW???!!!
When i said that i imagine myself falling of a 40 floor building screaming
TTTTOOOOOOOOOOOO-MMMOOOOOOOOOOO-ROOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
SPLAAAAT!!! or maybe for my size BOOOM!!
So then later on i tried to redeem explain the meaning of tomorrow to him in the most bizarre ways.Like i need this job to live another day... I felt a stamp on my forehead
"SUICIDAL"
Okay... enough of that then later on he asked me if i had a best friend. I said i have one. He asked if i would call him/her right now "What do u think he/she would say about u?"
The first answer came up my mind "LAME" and babbled it out. I felt another stamp on my head
"LOSER"
Then I said she might say i am funny sweet hardworking kind and .......... pooof ideas off
Then he asked me "Is that all you could think of "and........OMG DIE!!
Yes, as the question went on and on i was loosing my calm Then finally he said at the midpoint Jason, honestly speaking your not doing very well in the interview
Mind visualisation*: A grandfather clock ringing "DONG! DONG! Dong! and of course everything was dark and moody Anime moment of sorrows squatting in the corner wiping the floor with my finger and both stamps " Suicidal Loser" on my forehead. And in my heart everything went south at that moment.
Then he asked me do you know anyone who works in Starbucks?
I said yes , William Ng and Goh Pui Yen
Oww... Are you close with them? Ermm not really maybe hang out a little but not close
How did you know them from? My club activities
Then he blurted out " Did you know that William Ng was under me and he couldn't stand the pressure?" No....
Yea know i am telling you and he's not a good worker and i am having doubts that U will be like him. Because a lot of DJ students cant handle the pressure.
In my Application form i wrote i was from DJ school and
The Mentality Score: 2 out of 10
Dear fellow class/schoolmates please do not hate me but I have to agree with the guy our school authorities in DJ is not a character building school. Its so focused on Academics. Yes i try to compare my experience of Taman SEa and DJ just to make some small talk. Then, i said i have handled some problematic people before. The he interrupted we call them Clowns. William, sorry but i heard some bad comments about u as the interview went on.Oh right, then names like Tan Yi Ming and another person popped out too Craaaappp....
Then came the what if / situation quesitons and o gawd i suck at those
So 1st, What if u had a emo customer and tells u why are u so slow
Answer : i will apologize and blablablabla
Verdict: So ur gonna talk and delay service even further...
Failed
2nd question What if you had a internal conflict with a co-worker and how would u deal with it
Answer: i said i am very patient if he starts to affect my work i have to report it a higher authority
Verdict: Okay
i think it passed
Then next was what can u do to make costumers come back?
Answer: . . . . . . . . . i stared at a costumer and an idea popped I would maybe go up to them when they have finish their drink/food and ask if they would like to have something else
Verdict: . . . . . What else
Dush** and so the mind goes wondering yet again
So, finally the grueling one on one ended and he asked if i had any questions
I asked him some questions about what time work starts How long is working hours What else is needed to do I was kinda shy to ask about the salary thing so i just kept to myself i don't like to give a impression that i am in for da dough. Then i asked if the tasting session is a daily thing he said yes it is a learning lesson where we teach our workers on the product and we would have to study 4 guides/manuals when we work. I was very impressed actually, u know as a total newbie in coffee industry. i didn't imagine coffee could be like Wine tasting
Hah... so that's the story of downhill interview 1
Wonder whats the next one gonna be like if there is one. But I really aiming hard to actually accomplish my new years resolutions 2009. He told me that i will hear from him tommorow which is maybe today. O-yea BTW I felt he was very firmiliar and i found out he is
