Your Working Style
You are friendly, adaptable and a realist. You rely on what you see, hear, and know first-hand. You good-naturedly accept and use the facts around you. You look for a satisfying solution instead of trying to impose any "should" or "must" of your own. You are sure a satisfying solution will turn up once you have grasped all the facts.
You solve problems by being adaptable, and often can get other to adapt, too. People generally like you well enough to consider any compromise you suggest. You are unprejudiced open-minded, and tolerant of most everyone-- including yourself. You take things as they are and thus may be very good at easing a tense situation and pulling conflicting factions together.
You are actively curious about objects, scenery, activities, food, people, or anything new presented to your senses. Your expert abilities in using your senses may show in:
a continuous ability to see the need of the moment and turn easily to meet it
the ability to absorb, apply and remember great numbers of facts
an artistic taste and judgement
the handling of tools and materials
With your focus on the current situation and realistic acceptance of what exists, you can be gifted problem solvers. Because you are not necessarily bound by a need to follow standard procedures or preferred methods, you are often able to see ways of achieving a goal by "using" the existing rules, systems, or circumstances in new ways, rather than allowing them to be roadblocks.
You make your decisions by using the logical analysis of thinking rather than the more personal values of feeling. Your thinking enables you to crack down when the situation calls for toughness, and also helps you grasp underlying principles. You learn more effective in actual situations than on written tests. Abstract ideas and theories are not likely to be trusted by you until you have been tested in experience. You may have to work harder than other people to achieve in school, but can do so when you see the relevance.
You do best in careers needing realism, action, and adaptability. Examples are engineering, police work, credit investigation, marketing, health technologies, construction, production, recreation, food services, and many kinds of troubleshooting.
You are strong in the art of living. You get a lot of fun out of life, which makes you good company. You enjoy your material possessions and take the time to acquire you. You find much enjoyment in good food, clothes, music, and art. You enjoy physical exercise and sports, and usually are good at these.
How effective you are depends on how much judgment you acquire. You may need to develop your feeling so that they can use your values to provide standards for your behavior, and direction and purpose in your lives. If your judgment is not developed enough to give you any character or stick-to-it-iveness, you are in danger of adapting mainly to your own love of a good time.

Tried this personality quiz at http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx
and damn, its fucking true..
Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.
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:
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?
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 many goals and want to achieve as much as you can. The jobs you enjoy are those that let you burn off your considerable excess energy.
How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.
What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.
Who is your true self:
You like privacy very much because you enjoy spending time with your own thoughts. You like to disappear when you cannot find solutions to your own problems, but you would feel better if you learned to share your thoughts with a person you trust.

Anyway, I've been looking through interior design books recently. For some reason, I am intrigued by my sudden craze over those books. Maybe its because some part of me has kind of regretted not venturing into interior design when i was younger. But even so, even if I had chosen that path, I may still be split over that.
Anyways, I have spent at least 4 hours trying to come up with a creative concept for the kitchen of my future home. It has to be something like the 2 photos here. But the 3rd picture has actually caught my eye with its 135 degree angle. It is a new design from Japan's Toyo Corporation with the concept of innovation and ergonomics in mind.
I like the above design the best but with the sink in the back station (the series of cabinets facing the wall like the one in the below picture.
The Toyo kitchen concept.
Without a doubt, the design has to have the essence of a show kitchen or in simpler words, teppanyaki style. I have always had an affection for such designs as it allows more interaction between my guests and me. In addition, it adds on to the dinner conversation and allows me to entertain my guests easily as I cook for them.
Having a nice evening to slack has also given me an avenue to even look at the main appliances that would go onto the countertop of it! Things like,
1) A Combi set from Miele which would take the stage
and it includes (from left) A plate warmer located at the end of the table instead of being together, a gas stove, 2 induction stoves and a teppanyaki flattop grill.
2) A combi-oven with a coffee maker above it
3) An integrated dish washer
DANG I am so gonna spend so much on my future house! AND I AM NOT YET DONE CHOOSING!!! AHH!!!!!
Anyways, Tired. So I shall sleep and continue tomorrow. kthxbye.

The love is gone. Right now back at my shack after an awesome Summer Rain and a fantastic laid back lazy afternoon, it is time to do what I have wanted to do for a long time.
MAMBO @ ZOUK!
In a few hours time, the amazing choreography of I heard a rumor and never gonna give you up will boggle up my mind into an euphoric trance of oldies hits.
Then now comes to a random thought of mine, when will this stone cold heart finally warm up and accept an undeniable burden called love?
Well, I have actually been asked that but in a more casual way. To be honest, I only know to the present answer, not yet. But then again, when will it be ready?
Lets think of it as the day when I strike my toto.
