2.22 T&T Phuket Wedding – fireworks 好正好正!! (by Elaine)

試過婚宴的 entertainment 係煙花未?

it was awesome having the fireworks explode right above your head, 好似會跌落黎咁**although i really got hit by a fireworks shell!!!! 上一次咁睇現煙花係 2001 年世大閉幕禮，個次之後，我都無真正睇過煙花了，因為咁樣睇完之後，真係好難再 top this experience!

thank you~~~

2.22 T&T Phuket Wedding – 嘔心瀝血 collage (by Elaine)

因為有 D90 同埋 wedding-prep 挑起了DIY 隱的關係，好想好想整份靚靚禮物，所以便有 Collage 的 idea!

雖然係咁，但整個過程， 嘔心瀝血，一波二十萬折………..

係出發之前已決定了這個 idea, 所以當日好想好想影多d，咁先有options…. 而且個個都係到影，好難就位，影的時候，Hun Hun 要我行開 d，唔好左住 d 攝影師，大喝一句: 你唔係專業攝影師呀!!!! (好hurt……..) (琴晚比我目到個攝影師都不斷左住個 video-man 啦!)

返黎之後，發現原來 Picasa 都有製作 collage 的功能，而且好容易用，大概 1.5 小時便攪點，包括 insert 所有相，resize， rotate 加 edit，同 overall 執位，嘩，咁爽?!! 攪點之後，好開心…… 點知，下晝搵到印刷的時候，先發現原來 Picasa 係將 collage d 相縮細晒!! 成張只有640 KB ，最大只可 print A4 size!! 用盡方法都攪唔點!!!!!!!

唯有屈服，放棄整好的 Picasa Collage 罷，我無 Photoshop，但網上應該有 Trial Version 掛!! 點知要 download 個 trial version，要先個 download manager，搵晒成個 website 同 google，都唔知個 download manager 係邊，連 d 買左 photoshop 的 buyer 都話搵唔到!

再屈服，除了 photoshop，應該仲有其他 software 掛，之後我download 同 install 了 photomix, shape collage, collage maker, GIMP等等 四至五個 software (已唔記得了)，但係都唔 OK! 一係無得 switch arrangement, 唔係就 trial version 無 collage 功能，另外可能係我低能得滯攪唔點!!

最後神奇的 Sin Sin 竟然有 Photoshop，但我 office 同屋企三部電腦全部都唔夠 RAM 去 run Li 個 program !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 攪咩?!?!? 我依家更硬 Run 緊，部機 hang 晒………..

(星期五晚，經歷完整整兩日的失敗，加埋徙了成日係 office 攪部廢機 (但都未攪點)，frustrate 到爆的時候，竟然 將以上的幾段 post 了， 忍唔住要發洩發洩!!! 失守了個幾鐘，好在最後清醒過來，等多幾日先 post 啦，唔好 ruin 份禮物麻!)

Saturday 想 install photoshop 落 Hun Hun 部 MacBook  (windows 個面) 到，點知試左幾次都唔得!!!!!! 最後唯有夜晚去 Mak’s 屋企，借 Andrew  部 MacBook Pro，好夜先打攪，唔好意思呀!!! 不過就可以目擊 Hun Hun 好 efficient 咁用 photoshop, 比起我的龜 speed, 真係快好多!! 而且可以探 Tim Tim, 佢今次好主動叫 Rwell 叔叔呀!!

但係波折停不了!!!!  printing 同 framing 亦一 D 都唔簡單!! 因為攪到星期六先做好將相，之前個間話要印1 日，所以星期日我地就係炮台山周圍搵有得印大圖的舖頭，點知……. 一間都無 (or 無開)，唯有返屋企上網搵。結果用番以前去 conference 印過 poster 個間，都要星期一先開 。佢話1個鐘就印起，我一心諗住就用個 1 個鐘係灣仔搵一個 A2 咁 standard size 既 frame，應該好容易者，平時經過灣仔勁多 Li 類舖頭! 點知，當無目標時， 1 個鐘ling 住部 D90 (同埋夜晚 d miscellaneous items) 係灣仔周圍撲，好似個顛婆咁，真係唔係咁好受。而且由港灣道，駱克道，軒尼詩道，皇后大道東，到灣仔到，只係搵到一間，但係佢話 d frames 要訂造，無 A2 size!! 最後係宜家家俬搵到個大 d d 的 frame，都算大功告成!!!!!!! (當中亦向 Hun Hun 發了大脾氣，但佢都好心平氣和安慰我，同 suggest  Ikea and 叫我踏的士去!!)

今次印相，要好多謝 Systemagic 的 Zerek Chan! 星期日比我打去佢 mobile 噪生晒都無 complain，仲一開始主動問我個 frame 係點，幫我 save 定一個 100% 同埋一個 98% size 的 file，因為可以留位比個 frame。佢又叫我買左個 frame 先打比佢即刻印，以防萬一!! 點知我搵到 Ikea 個 frame 時，係係我踏車時係打電話去先問尺寸 (19′ x 27′)，Li 個尺寸係內 frame size  (外 frame 係大 d)。但我就即刻打比 Zerek，淨係比左 19′ x 27 ‘ size 佢,  Zerek 幫我 by proportion 咁放大! 當我 Ling 個 frame 去到舖時，佢已經印緊，但發現佢印緊個張細左 d，佢就停左部機，set 過 D 尺寸，再 print 過!!!!!! 仲有，最後我去 Ling 相時，佢竟然幫我放了張相入 frame 入面!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 超好人!!!!

大家要印大圖，Acrylic or anything，記住搵佢 -

Phuket Indigo Pearl Resort…… 好爽好爽 (by Elaine)

一踏入 Li 間 resort, 就覺得好特別，原來以前係個 Tin 礦場，所以好多裝飾都係以 Tin or Mine 為主題 – Lobby 的抬，columns，擺設，房的抬，pool 的 shower，加埋 cerulean 的 contrast, 好一致，好有格調

而且個 resort 真係好大，我地只係去了1 間 restaurant, 同 1 個 pool, 遠觀 or 路過 另外兩個 bar 同 pool，仲有一個 infinity pool 同埋 gym 都唔知係邊! 真係可以係入面玩唔晒出街，以後揀 resort 都要揀間大的，係 Li 個 pool 玩到悶可以去第二個 pool !

去到泰國，當然係陽光與海灘! 我地住 o個間 resort 附近既海灘，只有幾間露天餐廳，室外 Massage, 連有得買 flip flops 的舖頭也只有兩間! Nai Yang Beach，好寧靜，好舒服，好有 Samui -feel!

ESFJ 性格分析 愛情 / 生活篇 (by Elaine)

um…睇完工作，當然要睇埋愛情啦，我係F 人呀嘛，點都要講下 d 講 feel 既野!

(都係 from http://www.geocities.com/lifexplore/esfj.htm)

愛情方面 – what love means for ESFJs

• love means warmth and commitment
• when ESFJs first fall in love, they show this warmth and concern for their partner in many tangible ways: they will send cards, notes, flowers, special gifts, and other mementos of their affection. If the partner casually mentions a desire for a specific thing, they will try to find just that thing (真係?? )
• once committed in a relationship, ESFJs tend to stay with it even when there is inconvenience to them and perhaps longer than may be healthy
• they are able to bring out the best in their partners, even though it may mean putting their own needs second (well… this need to be confirmed by a 2nd opinion)
• because ESFJs are caring individuals, they expect to give and receive in their relationships. Because others may not be as thoughtful as the ESFJ, it is a possible source of disappointment to them if they expect the same awareness and caring on the part of the partner. Being practical and realistic, they may not always like effusive shows of affection and prefer moderation instead (好似好矛盾咁………)
• ESFJs wear their hearts on their sleeves (this is no good… according to my family) and are outgoing in their emotional reactions. They need to be needed, loved, and appreciated (***** BIG BIG hint to Rwell… this is super true and important) and may spend much energy reassuring themselves that this is the case
• ESFJs may take the end of the relationship as a personal failure. ESFJs, when scorned, hurt all over and may need to take time to get over the relationship before pursuing a new one. They may too easily and incorrectly blame themselves for the unfavorable outcome and recall instances when perhaps they were not as giving as they might have been. However, ESFJs’ standards for giving in a relationship are likely to be above those of some other types. At their worst when scorned, ESFJs can become spiteful and critical of the partner. Because ESFJs are keenly sensitive to others and are tuned in to emotional needs, they really know how to hurt a person in the rare instances when they choose to do so  (好似好恐怖咁喎………..)

ESFJ 的生活 -

1. ESFJs have a set of values which contain clear should and should-nots, and they expect their family to abide by these (yet when they do not, it’s a huge problem because ESFJs do not take conflict well…….. and they blame themselves for it; aka explain some growing-up dilemmas)
2. they are conscientious about home responsibilities, are orderly about the home and prefer that other occupants be the same (BIG BIG Hint to future Rwell; though my parents would not agree!)
3. ESFJs want family decisions settled efficiently and quickly and family living routinized, schedule and correctly executed (home-living nazi???). They do not rebel against routine operations , are devoted to the traditional values of home and health, respect their marriage vows and are the most sympathetic of all types…. ((死板仔?? hahahha, example 1: if people see me rushing home on Sunday after Church, that’s because my family go to Park’N Shop on Sunday…. it’s nothing special, but it’s the ONLY tradition in my family and I DO observed this traditional strictly)
4. ESFJs usually respect and revere their parents ( i.e. the inability to reject their opinions…..)
5. they tend to be dependent on their mates and may marry to insure they have a proper place in the social strata (????? really??).
6. they enjoy socializing and entertaining;  they are soft-hearted and usually observe with gusto birthdays, anniversaries and the like, making the event a delightful, important occasion.They enjoy the rituals connected with serving of good food and beverages, thrive on festive occasions, respect and accumulate a goodly store of material possessions (remember previous posts about me & celebrations as well as party props???????!!! gosh… )
7. yet, they may cause others undue tension by expressing anticipations of gloom and doom, exhibiting a bent toward the pessimistic that can be contagious. they need to control their fears that the worst is sure to happen and suppress their tendency toward crepe-hanging and anticipating disasters
8. the children of ESFJ (***** IMPORTANT NOTE TO SELF) are seen as an extension of the family and all they do reflects on the ESFJ. If things do no go well, the ESFJ may be critical, even carping toward his or her mate and children (…. on no….)
9. ESFJs live in terms of people and things rather than in terms of ideas and principles. they enjoy the process of decision-making, particularly when focus is on the usefulness of things and people (?????)

I guess this is the end of the ESFJ series………..

ESFJ 性格分析 工作篇 (by Elaine)

下?! 竟然有 工作篇呢?

認識我的人都知我係一位全職學生，稍為熟的人都可能知道其實我對於 Li個身份都有d介意，又充滿著矛盾…. Li 四年其實過得一d都唔容易，雖然 there are many goods during these 4 years, 但係好多時我都好後悔決定讀書，亦覺得自己係一個走唔出的困局。但係呢，天父就係Li 個時候，安排我係團契安靜下來，係一個溫室環境去更加了解自己，唔好再自怨自憐!

So here we go again – (都係 from http://www.geocities.com/lifexplore/esfj.htm)

I. Learning for ESFJs

1. learn best in structured situations where they know what they can expect  (definitely NOT how PG studies are….)
2. learning tends to be a personal experience for ESFJs. This attitude combined with their ability to follow through and meet deadlines, result in a conscientious and effective students. ESFJs often enjoy studies about people and their well-being (yes for my BSc studies, it was like finally learning something I like), and are usually less interested in theoretical and abstract subject matters (……….PG study trap again!!),
3. ESFJs want to like the person who teaches them. The teacher-student relationship is helpful to them in doing their best. When there is disharmony in the classroom, it interrupts their learning process (this is so ironic considered what happened in the past 2 years, it is most definitely a signal from God to learn a lesson).  When their work is criticized, even constructively, ESFJs may feel demoralized until they get it right, and the teacher acknowledges this. Because they tend to personalize the feedback of their teachers, it is important for them to know teachers’ expectations so that they can work to meet them. (the latter part… never came; maybe this was why it was soooooooo difficult!)

Work for ESFJs

1. at work, ESFJs contribute their ability to cooperate with others and to complete tasks in a timely and accurate way
2. they respect rules and authority and handle daily operations efficiently. ESFJs also tend to be well informed and up-to-date on organizational actions that matter to people
3. they also make sure personal relationships are running smoothly (and thus would feel horrible when they do not, aka, situation in voice lab personnel right now…..) because they pay close attention to people’s needs and wants and are often involved in work activities that meet people’s practical day-to-day desires
4. ESFJs prefer occupations that allow them to provide direct and personal, yet practical, help to others; occupations that call for organization and goal direction appeal to them. They are especially careful not to waste or resources; to do so would go against their nature.
5. occupations such as………..speech pathologist …appeal to ESFJs as they allow them to help others and serve their values directly

4年前，決定讀書時，我係推了一份工的，當時其實我心中係好難受，但係我想：只係四年，搵少四年錢，但係可以賺了一個機會，一個可以行第二條 Career Path 的機會，或者係比我想清楚我下一步要點行，就算真係要做番言語治療師，都要想清想楚，而當時的我，又真係唔 ready 做言語治療師 。就係咁，係4年之後，天父好奇妙地慢慢重整了我，比了好多經歷同埋反省的機會我，慢慢就係咁，比我看清楚了。
