Tests And Else (Updated)

Prediction, psychic, supernatural, future reading etc, I have very few experience with that, but I guess it’s closer to us than what we think.

Let’s see. The most supernatural thing I know when I was a kid going to teenager was how to see your future husband. Not me, but my friends around me who happen to know more about adult world were very keen about this type of thing. For me, I still think that thinking about a guy can make you pregnant, and it’s not even a dirty kind of thinking(!)

Okay, so few of my not-so-close-very-grown-up friends heard about this kind of trick. If you want to see your future husband face, when the clock strikes twelve midnight, peel an apple, it have to be a continuous peeling, in front of mirror, with a lighten up candle, and jeng jeng, the face will appeal.
I don’t know whether it’s true, but won’t it be freaking scary if it does?! And you have to master the skill of peeling. And I did not want to see who would be my future husband, how if he was the annoying neighbor kid who liked to stuck out its tongue? There would be a big chance of premature heart attack. No no no. Forever no to that answer and I was not kepo at all. Honest.

So, my not so close friend, who was very boy-and-girl-relationship-conscious tried the apple peeling ritual and she confessed that a face did come out. I never believed her because, I don’t know why, but although I tried, I didn’t believe her! She said the face belong to one of our classmate (C’mon!), that particular naughty but handsome brat. But she gave us this disguise face as if, sorry, I’m very gossipy here, hehehe, as if she was too good to him, while I must say, vice versa.

For those zodiac prediction which we can find in magazines, newspaper etc, I didn’t pay attention to it personally, unless, usually, when a group of female friends and one of them had a source, and everyone would read about everyone’s horoscope, and then screamed and laughed. Ah. Typical females mystery.
What surprised me was a colleague of mine who was still read horoscope everyday and actually believed it. So she would come to my table before we went off for lunch and read her horoscope if she hadn’t read it in the morning. She said it had become a habit for her.

When I was in college, I found out that my mom liked to buy a Chinese prediction book every year. So for me, I guess either Earth Dragon or Fire Dragon or the other two elements, she always told me to avoid funeral and be careful with water. Year to years, the advices were mainly for those two, so I chose not to listen and she also threw away the book and the habit. : )

Even in modern time and modern country, there are still a lot of people who believe in psychic. I found in Glamour Britain magazine, to my surprise, all of the advertisement in the back of the book consists of three main things unimaginable for me; psychic, abortion clinic and plastic surgery.

I’m more related for those game and fun ‘future’ game; I believe a lot of people does. Because on an outing, or when hang out with friends, at my time, to predict ‘future’ with cards, tissue, hand lines were one of the favorite passing time.
When I had to live with nine strangers in Batam, we didn’t have TV, games or computer or money to go out. Our only entertainment was a pack of card. Okay, it’s pathetic, but we’re a group of happy youngsters, no regret. So I had to sprain my wrist to provide my service because thanks to my high school camping moment, I knew many ways to see through cards about romance, what does this girl/boy feel about you, how is the love sequence etc etc, with a little bit of salt and pepper to the basic story, I was sure they even willing to pay. Kekeke. And of course, together with human basic instinct to be greedy, everyone at least have a bunch of sweetheart.

{(Bunch of sweetheart) X (Different type of card’s method) X (Reconfirm) X (Plan B List) X (I’m not so sure) X (Ten nothing better to do monkeys)}

=

We had few almost endless days of playing cards whether we believe the predictions or not. But it was fun.


Except those for fun, I have soft spot for tests. I think everybody is quite kepo and want to know about themselves, shamelessly I admit, including me. I spend hours to complete the personality test book with yellow cover (I forget the title) that defines human into Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholic and Phlegmatic. It was quite amusing and maybe, generally accurate. At least it has very interesting concept.

I was told that I’m mainly a Choleric but I had quite amazing balance between the other three characters, I forget what the detailed definition, but it didn’t sound too bad.

My good friend told me about this web, when I had some free time between work for a few days, I did many of these fun tests, let’s call it research, he.. some are very predictable but some results are quite difficult to predict from the questions.

I answered the question as honest as I could, some turned out good, and others turned out miserable.
One thing correct, my perfect pet is a dog! Huhehehhee.
Other things made me laugh and feel like hanging myself, like when it turned out that my Simpson character is Barney! The drunken burping brat! I don’t even drink, but when I was answering the question, I thought it led me to Homer, so I don’t think I’m able to score good regardless what. He he he.
I also *%%^$ about the fact that if I have superpower, the power is Rapping. What’s that! But there are many other superhero thingy and the rest are okay, except that I’m Wonder Woman. Hayah! Look at the ugly underwear….
Other incorrect thing are I’m good as a speaker, which is imo, complete bull, my knees are tied up together everytime I stand in front of crowd, and I’m a Healer. Wee? Who knows that I can boil my kitchen by being a dukun?!

Okay, the rest are quite okay, some are pretty accurate, but of course, in my opinion. Everyone has some concept about themselves, but others might not agree.
Finally, shamelessly, I post it here. Warning, below here it’s all about ME. I’ve told you, it’s shamelessly posted. Read at your own risk.

P.S: I guess you can click on everyone if you want to take the test.
Since I'm a kepo person, if no one else want to hear about you, drop me an email. Tell me. I told you. Let's be shameless together. : p
