A Homemaker’s Diary

Remember yesterday I wrote about researching more on things like what type of person, what type of blogger bla bla..here is the outcome of my personality (psychology) type.

The basic is there are four types that corresponds to the classic four temperaments : Idealist, Traditionalist, Hedonist and Rationalist. You can take the temperament test to find out your basic type.

I am in the Hedonist type. Here is the description of what people in Hedonist type are like:

Hedonists want to be free, not tied down, confined, or obligated, to do as they wish when they wish, to enjoy today, to be impulsive, to have a life of action which repudiates long term goals, objectives, or plans, to be active just to be active, to do what they feel the urge to do, to experience excitement, to be seen by others as being free to act, as free spirits, to be exciting, optimistic, cheerful, light-hearted, and full of fun.

Checking out further into the Hedonist type, there are 4 types : Self-Confident, Adventurous, Mercurial and Exuberant. After reading through I think I am a Mercurial personality.

These are seven characteristic traits and behaviors of the Mercurial personality style;

1. Romantic attachment. Mercurial individuals must always be deeply involved in a romantic relationship with one person.

2. Intensity. They experience a passionate, focused attachment in all their relationships. Nothing that goes on between them and other people is trivial, nothing taken lightly.

3. Heart. They show what they feel. They are emotionally active and reactive. Mercurial types put their hearts into everything.

4. Unconstraint. They are uninhibited, spontaneous, fun-loving, and undaunted by risk.

5. Activity. Energy marks the Mercurial style. These individuals are lively, creative, busy, and engaging. They show initiative and can stir others to activity.

6. Open mind. They are imaginative and curious, willing to experience and experiment with other cultures, roles, and value systems and to follow new paths.

7. Alternate states. People with Mercurial style are skilled at distancing or distracting themselves from reality when it is painful or harsh.

And these are the top strengths of Mercurial type:

“Creativity [originality, ingenuity]: Thinking of novel and productive ways to conceptualize and do things; includes artistic achievement but is not limited to it”

“Curiosity [interest, novelty-seeking, openness to experience]: Taking an interest in ongoing experience for its own sake; finding subjects and topics fascinating; exploring and discovering”

“Vitality [zest, enthusiasm, vigor, energy]: Approaching life with excitement and energy; Not doing things halfway or halfheartedly; living life as an adventure; feeling alive and activated”

“Love: Valuing close relations with others, in particular those in which sharing and caring are reciprocated; being close to people”

“Kindness [generosity, nurturance, care, compassion, altruistic love, “niceness”]: Doing favors and good deeds for others; helping them; taking care of them

“Hope [optimism, future-mindedness, future orientation]: Expecting the best in the future and working to achieve it; believing that a good future is something that can be brought about”

“Humor [playfulness]: Liking to laugh and tease; bringing smiles to other people; see the light side; making (not necessarily telling) jokes”

Oh the best part is, among the list of careers and jobs people of the Mercurial type tend to enjoy doing is floral designer and teacher…haha!

I’ve been neglecting all the blogs that I have for some time..not that I don’t intend to update but somehow the mood to type out what’s in my mind is just not there. For blogs that need extra research and pictures I just find it much a hassle to edit the pictures and read up the info.

Am I turning into lazy ass these days? Perhaps I should every now and then..hahaha..

Oh, I found this new test at Typealyzer.

The Typealyzer is in a Beta version and for now is capable of analyzing blog written in English. So if you are writing in Malay, it might not be able to generate a type for you. Quoting their disclaimer:

Note: Writing style on a blog may have little or nothing to do with a person´s self-perceived personality.

I’m off to find more tests and quizzes like this online..hehe..this is what people do when they have excess Internet time..haha!

It’s such a boring day today, though the ambience around and my feeling today is much better compared to the past few days. Must be the upside down of the hormone cycle I had lately. On the family matter, I have decided not to let anyone inclusive MIL to come during confinement since I already hired a confinement lady to help for 14 days. It is costly but I prefer it that way. I don’t have to put up with all the menjaga hati nonsense, trying to please any old folks etc..plus if everything goes well, I should be up and running after the first 2 weeks. So since I can manage it on my own, why should I need other people breathing down my neck. I am not sure how they will take it, but I just don’t care..huh!

On personal matter, today my lunch and dinner arrived on time and I think the food taste good with the menu of kari daging with rebung, kerabu kacang botor for lunch and nasi goreng kampung, telur mata with sup sayur campur for dinner. Must be a good day for the cook as well since everything taste just right. You see with home meal cooking, mood is a very important factor to ensure the tastiness of the food.

Oh, I bought a few fiction books from MPH online today since those online purchase entitles me for 30-20% discount. I put Hubby’s office address as the shipping address since I am not very fond of waiting for postal service these days. At least at Hubby’s office there will always be someone at the front office accepting the delivery..heh! The delivery date is 27th Nov which is about a week from today. Hopefully those books will arrive safely as this is the first time I try to buy books online from MPH. Oh, they accept Maybank2u for payment mode. Another good reason to spend the money in the account..haha!

As per routine, I love doing laundry on Monday night, while watching the not so favorite sitcoms..actually Hubby is the one who love sitcom series on Monday, I just sit on the sofa babbling my head away disrupting his attention to the silly plots..haha! So since I have to do something to distract my mind from My Wife and Kids overacting and stupid jokes, I tend to do my laundry which usually lasts after Reaper. Once a while I’ll bring the washed piles of clothes upstairs and hang them.

On another note, my lunch and dinner for Monday came promptly so I was a happy person filling up my tummy. Hubby bought tapau food from the nearby restaurant after his game of badminton. The company paid for weekly usage of the badminton court at Cyberjaya Community Club so they, the bunch of health concerned guys in the office decide to make full use of it. Before they used to jog or cycle but since it has been raining almost daily, they opt for some indoor sports activities. Thus my reason to do the laundry on Monday, so that I can quickly wash Hubby’s sports attire, eeiii busuk la if I were to simpan lama-lama in the laundry basket..hehe!

Today is quite hot outside so I decided to bring out all my kaftans to air dry in the sun. It’s been a while since I air dry anything outside because some stupid stray cats decided to poop on my lawn..benci la taik kucing ni..very tempted to pick up those poop with cangkul and throw in the drain, but Hubby said I shouldn’t..taik kucing kan ada kuman not good for pregnant women..plus since it has been raining daily those taik kucing take ages to dry out. Even today can still smell it, just hope not any of the kaftan will fall on the grass ditiup angin..huhu!

Oh my lunch today arrives around 1pm while Hubby is getting ready to go to the bank. My share however came without rice, what the h**l, took me another 50 minutes to cook rice. Nevertheless at least I have something to eat since we are almost out of everything in the fridge to eat. Will have to get groceries on Wednesday.
