We were given a test to understand our personality and behavioural style in this lecture. My behavioural style falls on the Perfect OWL quadrant. It was quite accurate because I prefer to work in a slower pace, planning everything precisely to assure things go on smoothly and successfully. I will use some time in planning my things-to-do and daily schedule almost every day. Besides, I have a notebook that’s notes down my planning too!
Sometimes, I will faces difficulty in making decisions as I consider too much pro and cons of each decision. You might say that I am cautious in making decisions, but this really makes me feel helpless sometimes! Worrying too much is not healthy as well. Relate it to my Vienna Test, I got 9 in guilt.
Sometimes, people are frustrated with my intention to have perfection. I want many things to be as good as they can be, and people always think that there is no need to be so persistent. Thus, sometimes I will tolerate but sometimes I will stand still on my side. However, I am not someone who never listen to people but I will listen to opinions that are acceptable and persuasive enough to me.
I am not a sensitive person as well. One of the best prove is I got 38 for Investigation in the Vienna Test. I loved to ask question and I believed that I am a curious person. I prefer asking to get answer to investigate the answer. Therefore, I think I need to do more thinking as I am a Psychology student! After starting my course at HELP in the Psychology department, I discover more and more of my weaknesses. Although it was quite sad to know that I have so many weaknesses, however it was better than I never discover them.
I’ve created our ideal university with a gang of Perfect OWLs. It was quite happy that I can dream for a while to have my ideal university. Everything is nearly perfect in my ideal university as we can find convenience, entertainment inside! It was happy to do such discussion with a gang of people that have nearly same opinions! However, I was attracted to the Cloud Top Campus as they are really imaginative! I admire them actually. I never thought that we can do it this way as I thought we need to be practical while doing this activity. We Perfect OWLs, are too realistic. Our first intention is to have a campus plan that is clear and clean so that everybody will be able to see and understand it. Before drawing the campus plan, we even list out the things/facilities we wanted to include in our campus and this really proved that we are well-organized.
However, during the discussion, some of them never participate. This makes me a little frustrated as I always liked to work in a group. As we are in the same group, everybody should try their best to contribute but not just standing beside like an outsider. At the end, we didn’t assign anyone to present our ideal university as it was lack of time. I stepped out to present it because our campus plan was just beside me. However, it is my pleasure to share with the class!

Code A S E ... again!
Through the second lecture of PSY110, I realized that Pei Li likes to use body language while she is teaching! I wonder what "secret" you wanted to tell us that moment! Oh~ Revision... I see! Yes, doing revision is important! Reduce many hardwork we need to do during exam period! However, I always fail to do this due to procrastination. Well, I will still try my best to overcome this bad habit.
About the activity sheet, I really filled it up honestly. However, I found that I don't know what to fill in in certain columns. Maybe, I still don't understand myself a lot. Or maybe, I have too many goals, too many interest, too many dreams untill I don't know what to fill in.
In ACTIVITY:ASSESSING MY INTEREST, I got most ticks in the fourth column. For EXPLORE THE JOB MARKET, I prefer going to WORKSHOP A, followed by WORKSHOP S. Hence, I got my result as 4A, followed by 4S. It was quite accurate. People who went in the same group with me has similar characters and interest. Therefore, it was not difficult to find our similar points and we worked out quite fast! The whole lecture was quite lively as we walked around and talked a lot. However, it was a little bit too messy as we moved slowly.
It was not surprising that my code was A followed by E. Last time, I remembered an aunt of mine, who studied Psychology too, gave me a test. She says that it was an interest test, and may help me to choose some job that suites me. I don't know what it was actually but I did it and I got the code A S E. As a PSY110 student, we are required to sit for a personality test called Vienna Test. I have got my report few days ago and got a session with a counsellor and she discuss the overall result with me. Well, before the session starts, I tell the counsellor that I predict my code is A S E. Bingo! And I got the right guess! No interest change in me so far.
The Vienna test is quite accurate. Tells me a lot about my strenghts and weaknesses, test on my IQ, and interest. Besides, the counsellor helps me a lot in clarifying me career path. At the end of the session, the counsellor asked me how am I going to make use of this Vienna test report. Haha~ I don't know how to answer her question at that moment. But now, I am going to tell you that I will maintain my strengths and be aware of my weaknesses.
In my opinion, we should have start planning our future now. So, we won't be messed up when we it is time to find our job. Therefore, what we are learning now should be related to our job and we should consider whether we had enrolled for the right course. It will be a waste of money and time if we find ourselves not suitable for the course/subject soon when we are going to graduate. Hence, taking PSY110 in the first two sem is essential. This shouldn't be Psychology students' core subject only, but all the other courses students too!
However, I will observe myself throughout the sem to make my career path clearer. Hope that I will find a job that I loved and there will be no work for me in the future! HOORAY~~~~

Be one traveller, which road shall I take? (Journal 1)
I used to write blog regularly when I was a secondary school student. But recently,I find it hard to post regularly with the reason --lack of time. I was pretty shock when I heard that PSY110's assignment (I mean this journal) can be done by blogging! Interesting ~
I always look forward to new semesters and new subjects everytime as I was eager to know who is my new teacher(perhaps lecturer or tutor now), who are my new classmates, and what the new subject will cover.
Actually, I have met up with you on the first week of my first sem in your office (accompanying my friend to ask about minoring). You look friendly and approachable and I assume that we'll have lots of fun with you this semester. Besides, I should have make my career path clearer after completing this subject.
I always believe that finding a job that suites myself is a very important issue as I knew that I will regret if I had a miserable life because of my job. Therefore, I consider my own interest as the fundamental issue. I always hear people mention that we should consider income as the priority while choosing a job. If you are clever enough, become a professional! You'll earn money, and you'll gain respect, and you'll have status! I was totally disagree with these so called "facts". The income of a cafe owner may not be as high as an executive manager or a lawyer, but the happiness he/she gain from his/her job wouldn't be lesser if he/she enjoys it! Or maybe one day the cafe owner develop his/her business, his/her income might be high as well. An actor who just start acting might not earn much. But if he/she have interest in acting, and he/she was recognise by the others as he/she act for some time, if he /she has the chance, he/she might become a famous actor and they make money too!
Why did you chose Psychology? Many who cares for me asked me this question.My answer is,"Psychology is the study of HUMAN BEHAVIOUR. Initially, it could help me to understand myself better as I always wanted to do this. Secondly, I assume that it might be helpful to the people around me. Moreover, I prefer to work with people in the future.Lastly,and this is the most important issue I consider, having the ability to understand human behaviour is important for living! Actually, I still don't have a clear path that I want to go for until now, but I am sure that we need to know how to get along with people wherever we are!
In my opinion, I am an extrovert. Therefore, it is very difficult for me to sit still and work with non-living things for long term. Thus, I assume my future career must be something that needs to deal with people. For example, I would like to become an educator (but I am not sure what am I going to teach...Perhaps, studying Psychology now might benefit my future students too!).
I have great interest in performing arts (Drama) and music. To me, life is boring if there is no drama, no music. I am a member of a chinese theatre outside and I am going through training sessions. In the future, I intend to combine what I have learnt and I love to become my career ( Maybe, an art therapist? a teacher?). Therefore, I haven't made any considerations about my income. Maybe, there might be changes after considering this issue. But definitely, I am still exploring at this moment.
What is the meaning of --- having a good career? Does it mean you need to earn a lot of money that will lead you to a luxury life? Or to work something that you have interest on it? Or if you are lucky, the something you have interest on it could make a lot of money? Haha~ different people have different perspective, but I always believed that interest and income
can come along together. I am totally agree with what you say---> Working is no more working if you loved what you work on! ( Yeah! No more working burdens!)
Nowadays, we have to accept the fact that money is really important to us! I remembered a phrase---> No money no talk. Although it is not good to be too materialistic, but at least we should be practical. I will never commit my whole life to interest only without concerning my income, as I need to survive, and I have the responsibility to take care of my parents! Thus if things never work like what I wish, I should have find a career that is related or similar to my interest but not something totally against my interest or my character. We'll perform well or even excellently if we chose the right career!
I felt so grateful that I have considerate parents that they always respect and support my choice. Thus, I have the freedom to choose my own career!
God bless me!
A poem to share with you~
THE ROAD NOT TAKEN -Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other,
as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I—I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.
