I Do Not Choose to Be a Common Man

I Do Not Choose to Be a Common Man.
It is my right to be uncommon—if I can.

I seek opportunity—not security. I do not wish to be a kept
citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.

I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to
fail and to succeed.

I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the
challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of
fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia.

I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for
a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend
to any threat.

It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to
think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations
and to face the world boldly and say,
“This I have done.”

What does J mean???

Well, J means alot to me. or at least at the current moment. There are many ways I perceive J and there are many instances of J. I started noticing J a few years back. However i didn’t bothered what was J at the start. But after a while i noticed J keeps me up at times. At times J makes me feel like shit. I made a decision a few weeks back. And i’ve faithfully abided by it. Although i made an exception on one occation.

But whatever it is, J gives me hope. J is one of the things i look forward to at the end of the day besides my lil girl Whisper

ps. J does not stand for Jack or Jaga. That would be just so wrong. How bout Jessi or Jenni. HAHAHAHAHA

another thing, the answer to J is written here if your wondering….

The IQ Test Labs scale is
equivalent to the Wechsler scale

(mean=100 and standard
deviation
=15)


 

The bell curve
(also called a “normal curve” or “normal
distribution”) is a graph that shows approximately how
much of the population falls into each IQ range. In
theory, if we tested everyone in the world with a
traditional IQ test, most people would score in the ”
Average” range. A smaller number would score
moderately below average and moderately above average.
Very high and very low scores are rare.

The scores and
percentiles above apply to tests that have a standard
deviation of 15 points. The  Stanford Binet Fourth
Edition (Binet FE) has a standard deviation of 16 and
the Wechsler scales (such as the WPPSI-R, the
WISC-III, and the WAIS-III) have a standard deviation
of 15. Therefore, for different scales the percentages
may vary.

Strengths and weaknesses

Your highest score was in
Spatial

Exceptional intelligence does not
guarantee results — to achieve excellence you must fully understand
your strengths and learn to maximize your efforts. Knowing your
greatest intellectual strength may give you insight into how you
can improve your learning process, work better with others, or
become more self aware of your abilities.
According to this test your spatial skills are the most developed of all your intellectual capabilities - your capability to manipulate 3-D objects in space is your biggest strength.


 

Your lowest score was in
Pattern Recognition

Weaknesses are the roadblocks we
face when trying to achieve our goals. Awareness of your weaknesses
allows you to predict problems and find solutions ahead of time,
thereby alleviating future headaches.
According to this test your pattern recognition skills are the most underdeveloped of all your intellectual capabilities - your capability to match and anticipate patterns is your biggest weakness.

 

A Decision i Made

I made one of my hardest decisions today. Hopefully i’ll stick by it. I usually don’t have any problems making decisions. But this is a sacrifice i’ll have to make. Well i think there’s no 2 ways around it. But probably if i were to give this decision to most people, i think it would be one of the easiet to make. Till now i’m still feeling uneasy about it. Hopefully this restraint will give me more time i need. But no matter what decision i make, it still doesn;t change the fact………

well, i just have to say, she kicked the shit out of me and pushed reality back into that thick head of mine. i dunno, but she somehow she reminds me of Choo Choo. The always positive girl. But i used to bully Choo Choo alot. I wonder is it even called bullying. And Choo Choo used to have the nickname is msn called COURAGE. I wanted to chat with her tonight but shez not on9. It’s always that she pops up when you least expected. I wonder whatz Choo doing now?

Well, exams next week and i’ve yet to start studying. I wonder why? Maybe i’m not the type of guy with the CGPA 4.0. Despite my lack of academic attention, i’m still able to manage a decent 3.2 CGPA. It’s just that i don’t really see the point of CGPA 4.0. I’m lazy i totally admit it. I dun have that patience to seat down and study to get it. I was never the academic guy. LOL and i remember Ben and I would look like dungu’s in Vijaya’s class. Well, hopefully i don’t fail any of the subjects, its gonna take me another 1 year if i were to fail.

Well, i guess i’m more of the practical sort. Maybe i always was. While they were good at answering those academic question, i would say i’m quiet decent in the practical part. After all, you fail miserably when you get it done.

I wonder what are the guys doing now? Have not been in contact with them for a long long long time. And tomolo having it being a study week, i still need to go meet up a few people to settle a few cases. Going to college to see Mr Lew, need to solve the”LinkButton in Accordion as Trigger of Updatepanel” then i have a few other emails to draft.

Plan to take my daughter out in the evening. I know shez been bugging me alot. Unexpectedly Jeff sms-ed and asked me to meet him at Han Chiang too.

Wanted to take her to Han Chiang to meet some frens today, but my old man was using my bike. Should have got the car license. Finally i’ve been able to allocate some cash for my Driving License. Plan to get them during the holidays. Probably i’m the only person in college which can’t differientate between the clutch and brake. And i finally got my MyKad. hehehehe

Bleeding badly

it’s 7.50am in the morning and i’m awake. I had my shuteye at 3am. Hehehe why am i up so early? well today’s the last day of class and i reli didn’t want to ponteng Mr Kevin’s VB.net class. hehehe

Well, i’ve also been bleeding badly lately. For those that asked, thanks for the concern. Due to the lack of sleep and the ammount of things to attend to ( i’m not calling it stress ), my psoriasis has been on a rampage. Well, probably its telling me to get some rest. Hahaha

Finals around the corner, and i’ve yet to get any revision done. I’m kinda concerned over my Economics as i got a D for my mid term. Given the situation, i guess it can’t be helped then.

I’ve already got my holidays planned out, and i guess it will be work work and work too.

Lately, i’ve come to a conclusion… when i ask for something, please don’t tell me your lazy. I’ve become very very agitated to that word. Seriously, lazy is not an excuse for not wanting to do something…
