This is interesting. I have always wanted to start a blog but have not ventured to do so. Somehow, something on this beautiful Friday morning inspired me to do so. I have never been much of a computer user since I'm always out of the house and all my friends know that I'm not keen on reading forwarded mails. I fully welcome the idea of keeping in touch with friends who are abroad but secretly thought to myself, ' How much can one say before stopping the flow of mails completely ?'

Anyhow, since my departure from home to study abroad myself, I have come to the realization that me being no different from others, am spending much of my time in front of the computer mailing and chatting the hours away. It has come to a point where everyone I know has received mails from me talking just about absolutely nothing and filling them in about my latest doings. It does not matter to me if they want to know or not.. cos i just wanna mail ! So... since I was doing that, I decided, why not start blogging ?
To start things off on this first blog of mine.. i shall share my thoughts on this particular quiz that I took just minutes before. Interestingly, it concludes that I'm a Sun Siren ! It goes like this,

' You're a Sun siren: You're positive, confident, and organized, and you don't let others stand in your way. Your natural charm and magnetism make you a born leader. You can be bossy, and you're stubborn about staying in control of a situation, but only when you're convinced you're helping people. Your charisma guarantees that you won't spend many Saturday nights alone. In fact, you're used to being the center of attention wherever you go. You're great at dishing out advice to your pals- often before they ask for it! Yet you do inspire them to be the best they can be. You're tremendously loyal and generous to your guy. When you're in love, you give 110 percent, and you're rarely the one to call it quits. But you need a mate as strong as you are to be truly happy.'

I'm so glad it's positive ! It does sound very much like me. It never ceases to amuse me when a quiz comes up with a right definition or description of myself. However I do wonder, ' Are people so easily categorized into such limited categories just by answering a few questions about themselves ?' To me, people can be so different from one another. Yet, when I look at the number of categories avaliable, it does limit the variety of characters people have.

Girls, I think are more susceptible to the lure of completing a quiz to find out more about themselves. Quizzes ranging from ' Is he the right man for you?' to ' Are you eating healthily?' never fails to suck us into spending 8 minutes or more of our time choosing the answers that best describes us. I can't even keep count of the number of quizzes I have completed in my lifetime. Have you noticed that there is not one edition of a ladies or girls magazine that comes without a quiz in it ? Females are in a never-ending quest to search for a perfect relationship or a perfect self image. I would stop myself if I could but the attraction of 'trying a quiz out just to see if that's me' is just to good to pass over.

sigh....

Anyway, to those who are interested in the quiz mentioned above, here is the address for it.
