It's The Little Things....

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon.... So I decided to take a short walk to the shopping complex near my place. As I was walking pass my letter box, I took a quick glance at it - no letter sticking out of the letter box (it is a very small letter box, so the postman tends to just leave letter half way sticking out instead of trying to push it inside).

Usually if that was the case, I will not bother checking it. But somehow, there was a feeling inside me telling me to have a look. So I did ! ...and boy am I happy that I did, cause whatever that's lying inside my letter box just made my day....my whole weekend, for the matter of fact.

I took out 3 cute little postcards with the most beautiful hand-written message on them. They were from my nephews and niece. It was really a pleasant surprise.

Sometimes when you feel the world has abandoned you or when you are feeling down and gray, it is these simple little things in life that put a smile back on your face and reassure you that the world is actually a lovely place...

Ouch

I woke up today feeling wonderful as last night was the first night in the whole week that I had a really good night sleep. I have been coughing the whole week, and the cough gets really bad during the night, hence the disturbed sleep...

However, this morning after having my breakfast, while I was washing up the dishes, I coughed. And the next thing I knew, I was struggling to stand straight. I don't know what happen there, but I think I have just pinched a nerve on my lower back.... Ouch !!

Now, I can't bend forward, I can't lift my legs up, I have difficulty sitting etc etc.... Argh ! It is not something I want especially on a Sunday..... now I have to stay home instead of going dancing.... *sigh*

Personality Test

I was reading my sister's blog and she mentioned about a personality test she did here. So being me, curious as ever, I tried the test and here is my result. I think some parts of the result are pretty accurate...

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. (quite true)

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true. (true i guess)

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. (not sure bout this)

The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with? (haha... this is so true)

Your views on education:
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can. (true with the learn as much as I can; but not so much on the study hard part :p)

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life. (not quite true)

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. (used to be like that, but not anymore :>)

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you. (wow...so true)

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. (so so so true... o_0)
