The four aspects that make up this personality type are:


**Summary of Masterminds**
Visionaries who put energy into achieving their goals
Prefer to work independently and dislike inefficiency
Think of themselves as logical, thorough, and bright
Values practicality and common sense above ideas and theories

**More about Masterminds**
Masterminds create a vision for the future by gathering and organising information. They then develop strategies to achieve their goals. They have a rare gift for looking at almost anything and seeing how it can be improved. These skills and the Masterminds' high standards often allow them to reach leadership positions at work.


Mastermind is the least common personality type in the UK, according to a nationwide survey. Masterminds value independence and prefer to work on their own. Once they have decided on a course of action, Masterminds rarely change their minds, although they can be persuaded by clear reasoning by someone they respect.

In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Masterminds may cut themselves off from a group and criticize people who don't understand their plans. Under extreme stress, Masterminds may overindulge in sensory experiences like eating, shopping or watching television.

Masterminds often have an unusual sense of humour, which arises from their ability to spot surprising links between seemingly unconnected facts.

**Mastermind Careers**
Masterminds are drawn to jobs requiring logical analysis or abstract thinking common in science or technical fields.

It's important to remember that no survey can predict personality type with 100 percent accuracy. Experts say that we should use personality type to better understand ourselves and others, but shouldn't feel restricted by our results.

Almost Here

Did I hear you right?
Cause I thought you said
Let's think it over
You have been my life
And I never planned
Growing old without you

Shadows bleeding through the light
Where the love once shined so bright
Came without a reason
Don't let go on us tonight
Love's not always black and white
Haven't I always loved you?

But when I need you
You're almost here
And I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
Cause your only almost here

I would change the world
If I had a chance
Oh won't you let me
Treat me like a child
Throw your arms around me
Oh please protect me

Bruise and battered by your words
Days are shattered, how it hurts
Oh, haven't I always loved you?

But when I need you
You're almost here
And I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
Cause your only almost here

Bruise and battered by your words
Days are shattered, now it hurts
Haven't I always loved you?

But when I need you
You're almost here
Well I never knew how far behind I'd left you
And when I hold you
You're almost here
Well I'm sorry that I took our love for granted

And now I'm with you
I'm close to tears
Cause I know I'm almost here

Only almost here

How sad it is to think that you are only ALMOST HERE whenever I needed you...

Wicker Park

Warranted my attention the moment I saw him. Capt. Danny Walker in Pearl Harbour, SSgt. Matt EversmannHe in Black Hawk Down and again Matthew in Wicker Park. There seems to be something intriguing behind that pair of smoky, deep set eyes of his. Totally captivated. Absolutely swooned.

Wicker Park, a story about a young Chicago advertising executive, who believes a woman he sees in a cafe is his long-lost love. His conviction leads to obsession, as he puts his life on hold to trail her.

Initially, I thought it was just another die-hard-romantic kinda show. But I was wrong. It was a mixture of romance, a tinge of suspense and a dazzle of drama that kept you guessing all the way. Was totally blown away with my brain spinning uncontrollably but rather pleasurely I must say. Full of astonishing reverses and switchbacks. If you pieced the chain of events together, you realised how convicted and obsessed one can be. Sometimes, love just makes you loses the rationality to do things that are beyond your own perception and acceptance level.

Found out that Wicker' is a remake of the 1996 French film, `L' Appartement. Hmm, I would very much love to watch the French version. Anyone?

And oh, by the way, the cute guy here is Josh Hartnett.

Some Signs of Ageing

I am getting on my years, not kidding you, but I do feel age is catching up on me. Advancing into my late twenties (just over the mids as a matter-of-fact), things are happening fast around me. Changes everywhere, to all people and just about everything. In school days, we worried about tests, exams, BGR, not getting into preferred institutes. Now we worried about not getting the right job, constantly thinking of ways to earn more bucks and not finding the right partner to settle down and having baby blues. Bah!

21st birthday parties are long gone, welcoming me are invitations to weddings and baby full month celebrations. Along with the joy and memories it brings, it also burnt a big hole in my pocket and a substantial cut in my paycheck. Can you see the evolution of life going around me?! The pattern changes drastically. Oh my gosh, even my tastes and senses took a turn. I began to courageously attempt bold colours and weird designs when it comes to apparrel. I think twice about purchasing things that will make me look too kiddish. Once a close friend of mine commented that a sudden change (we used to just stick to basic black and white but now turning our wardrobe into a spectrum of rainbow colours) is an indication of ageing. We laughed it off, but this is really a fact.

Apart from the demeaning effects of being a twenties going on to thirties, I actually find myself wanting to embrace and enjoy life even more. Perhaps due to the increasing spending power, I, without hesitation (at times), splurge on things and mini getaways to pamper myself. In fact, I just came back from P.Redang, an resort island in Trengganu, far far away from the hustle-bustle of city life. Simplicity is something I adored. The less complicated, the better. At times, I still yearned for that little excitement to perk up my mundane lifestyle, to fulfill the childlike personality still lingering inside me.

Ironically, I am in my prime. Age is such an important factor for every woman, and every stage is a milestone worth mentioning donkey years down the road. Time waits for no man, there is still so much to do, to explore, to enjoy and to embrace. So, while I lament about my biological clock ticking away religiously, I already have in mind, a lists of personal goals to accomplish. The most immediate would be to get a scuba diving licence. Are you game for it??

What Is Happening?!?!

The morale in the office has been exceptionally low these days. In a span of 3 months, one whole group literally disappears. Everyone just left, one after another. Honestly, this is not what I had aniticipated of this company. Maybe I am being naive, I thought that a small organisation would be cosy. But to my dismay, this company, where 90% are young adults, seems like one totally helpless old folks home. No vibrancy, no cohesiveness and definitely no team-spirit. There seemed to be no common goal and to some extent, no common topic. I almost feel that we are all just happened to share this same tiny office. A lack of human touch and warmth. That's how I feel.

Not surprisingly, he has been targeted as the public number one enemy. On the surface, he seemed to be on good terms with everyone, friendly, open etc. But things are not so simple. Unintentionally and unknowningly (at times only), he actually offended quite a substantial number of people in the company. Due to his tactless and at times snide remarks, it really pisses people off. Been hearing lots of negative remarks about him, I tried to be as neutral as possible. Beyond own control at times, I indulged in their gossips as well for I am a victim of circumstances...what I meant was I too, was subjected to his unfeeling remarks.

Personally, we are friends though not close but I didn't want to see him ended up like this. He may be successful in his career (as he always self-praised), he just lacked the inter-personal relationship skills. Got to tone down his ego and be more sensitive to people's feelings. I don't know how to go about approaching such a sensitive subject to him especially when man's pride and ego is a big thing. I'll think I just pray for him, to have a bigger heart and smaller ego, more humble and less proud (pride). God bless him.
