PECKPOST

Hello I was just looking at char's blog and her post about love languages. The concept has been at the back of my mind for quite some time (as in I heard of it before). Basically this dude believes that we define and express love in 5 different ways. There's quality time, words of affirmation, acts of service, gifts and physical touch. Yeah I took the quiz and the results are below.

The Five Love Languages

My primary love language is probably
Quality Time
with a secondary love language being
Words of Affirmation.

Complete set of results

Quality Time:
9
Words of Affirmation:
8
Acts of Service:
7
Receiving Gifts:
3
Physical Touch:
2

Well I'm quite sure there are inaccuracies. After all I'm not in a sexual relationship and so I wouldn't know if physical touch is really my forte yet :]. Some of the questions in the quiz aren't too easy to answer either. Like preferring to celebrate my birthday with meaningful words or a gift. I mean if the gift is like a new com then DUH gift plox. Anyway I think the results are largely accurate, but I don't think they work both ways. Like just coz I prefer to do acts of service to express love doesn't necessarily mean I am as receptive to that kind of love.

Anyway I was interested in this love language thing because my parents tend to express love in different ways to me. For example my dad is an extreme old-school kind of dad, with an insane imbalance when it comes to acts of service and gifts. Like going according to the list he'd probably score 1,2,99,60,0. My mum is definitely more balanced, with a mixture of everything. I think that's why I tend to gravitate towards her more coz I like to have convos, I like to joke and shit.

Yeah so actually my last post was on new year's eve and I forgot to herald in the new year. So Happy New Year! It's like city harvest was like celebrating the new year with a feel-good message about how we are going to progress, step up to the next level etc. NS boys must surely be the exception then pastor. Bummer. Anyway a lot of people have been reflecting on life in 2007. I thought it was a shitty year actually. Friendships were definitely the bright spark but I thought it was on a whole frustrating and depressing.

A lot of people have been reflecting on JC life as well. I still maintain that secondary school was my "golden era" in schooling life. It was there that I made many close friends, there was little pretentiousness (most of it came from certain teachers methinks) and I felt completely at ease to speak my mind. You could say it was perhaps more uncomplicated and that is also true. But there were so many instances where I really savoured the moments and shared experiences with my friends. Like damn this friendship rocks because we're copying the same chinese zuo ye from exactly the same person in exactly the same vein of desperation at 730am in the morning.

I think I made many great friends in JC too. I never thought I'd get to know lip so well OR ANNLIANG O M G. Or even teh girls. But I think the stress, the jadedness just overshadowed a lot of this good stuff. Like what the fuck happened to PE man. Became a NAPFA whorehouse -_-. Also JC was definitely filled with more long-standing strife, uncertainty and caution. So yeah 06/07 were years of gloomy shit punctuated with bright spots but 02-05 were years of brightness punctuated with few dark spots. Mmm damn I'm deep.
