I don't really like celebrating my own birthday, feel like it's being blown out of proportion.
But am really grateful for the surprise they threw for me and Jia Min.
Thanks residents of Unit 13, Vickery House!!!

Encounter
As I am doing research on my topic for Health Science Communication, my thoughts went back to a particular function I attended as a GB member back in Form 2. There, for the first time in my whole life, I encountered a HIV-positive person.
He looked just like any other person you may encounter on the street. I think I can still remember his face. He was thin but other than that, he looked very healthy. We were selling plants and crafts then, and he was among the few people who came by our GB stall and bought a couple of decorative plants. He was friendly and chatted with Jik Jane (I think, because she was the more talkative person in our group...XD). And then, he went up the stage and talked about his experience as a HIV-positive person. That very moment was imprinted on my mind forever. I couldn't remember exactly what he said on-stage; but I remembered thinking to myself: "They look like anyone else".
I don't know whether I would be afraid if I encountered another HIV-positive person again. Honestly, I don't know how I would react. But if that happens, I hope I would be able to tell myself not to be afraid of them.

Personality Test!
Okay, I need to get away from my (stupid) research for a while.
~SIGH~
Why did I even pick such a horrible topic to begin with?

Somehow, girls like personality tests a lot. I got this link from Shu Ning some time ago. And it's quite accurate (for her) and a little bit accurate for me (I guess, not sure).
So here it goes: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp
Go do and tell me what type of personality you got. You might want to do it several times 'cause some people do have mixed personalities. So far, I did it 3 times and got ISFP personality.
To those who so happen to be reading this, tell me what type of personality you have okay?
Cheers,
ah shin
