Rest that is inexistent
Had my crit, i dun wish to mention it la. Juz tht alot of things need to do, so no more nice rest la.
hmm found this on ed's blog, about some numerology thingy from ur name:
http://www.paulsadowski.com/Numbers.asphere's my data:
You entered:
Chan Sok Yin JulianaThere are 17 letters in your name.Those 17 letters total to 70There are 7 vowels and 10 consonants in your name.
Your number is: 7
The characteristics of #7 are: Analysis, understanding, knowledge, awareness, studious, meditating.
(hmm~~ quite fitting.... lol)The expression or destiny for #7:Thought, analysis, introspection, and seclusiveness are all characteristics of the expression number 7. The hallmark of the number 7 is a good mind, and especially good at searching out and finding the truth. You are so very capable of analyzing, judging and discriminating, that very little ever escapes your observation and deep understanding.
(this is true but not when it comes to those emotional affairs. I am really dumb and unobservant....) You are the type of person that can really get involved in a search for wisdom or hidden truths, often becoming an authority on whatever it is your are focusing on. This can easily be of a technical or scientific nature, or it may be religious or occult, it matters very little, you pursue knowledge with the same sort of vigor. You can make a very fine teacher, or because of a natural inclination toward the spiritual, you may become deeply emerged in religious affairs or even psychic explorations.
(Yes i love the spiritual realm of life and mind~~ There is this unseen power that i can feel.) You tend to operate on a rather different wavelength, and many of your friends may not really know you very well.
(Wah Kaoz! DAMN TRUE!!!! I always think and thus talk stuff that other ppl dun understand... but den, these recent years i haf changed la, so not that bad le... Still, got ppl say my thinking very unique..) The positive aspects of the 7 expression are that you can be a true
perfectionist (very true) in a very positive sense of the word. You are very logical, and usually employ a quite rational approach to most things you do. You can be so rational at times that you almost seem to lack emotion, and when you are faced with an emotional situation, you may have a bit of a problem coping with it.
(rational.... erm, rational in some stuff only. Normally or often, i am irrational... too idealistic at some issues... ) You have excellent capabilities to study and learn really deep and difficult subjects, and to search for hidden fundamentals.
(nah, difficult in wat sense? if computing stuff or science, NO. If it is abt the art and the similar, den I wont mind.) At full maturity you are likely to be a very peaceful and poised individual.
(this is when i am into meditative mood /enlightened by religion or self-nurture... how to be peaceful aka no tense when i am in Architecture???!!!)
If there is an over supply of the number 7 in your makeup, the negative aspects of the number may be apparent. The chief negative of 7 relates to the limited degree of trust that you may have in people.
(For a moment in the past, this happened....Or rather, lost hope in people..) A tendency to be highly introverted can make you a bit on the self-centered side, certainly very much self-contained . Because of this, you are not very adaptable, and you may tend to be overly critical and intolerant. You really like to work alone, at your own pace and in your own way. You neither show or understand emotions very well.
(Last time when i lost hope and feelings for this world, I was very self-centred cos I think since no one care, I have to care abt myself to survive. Now, I am no that self-centered anymore. I have met some people in my life that bring me light to my world. So this part not very true, but then i agree on the part on working alone AT MY OWN PACE, and OWN WAY.... maybe cos my style is rather diff....)Your Soul Urge number is: 5
A Soul Urge number of 5 means: The 5 soul urge or motivation would like to follow a life of freedom, excitement, adventure and unexpected happening. The idea of travel and freedom to roam intrigues you. You are very much the adventurer at heart. Not particularly concerned about your future or about getting ahead, you can seem superficial and unmotivated.
(sorry, this part is WRONG!! I know wat i want in life, where i heading and all. I am never superficial nor unmotivated. But of cos i wish my life haf freedom and adventure. But not too much adventure la, i not that brave to explore things like dark caves ar climb rocks.lol)In a positive sense, the energies of the number 5 make you very adaptable and versatile. You have a natural resourcefulness and enthusiasm that may mark you as a progressive with a good mind and active imagination.
(yup yup) You seem to have a natural inclination to be a pace-setter. You are attracted to the unusual and the fast paced.
(huh?)You may be overly restless and impatient at times. You may dislike the routine work that you are engaged in, and tend to jump from activity to activity, without ever finishing anything. You may have difficulty with responsibility. You don't want to be tied down to a relationship, and it may be hard to commit to one person.
(jumping from one task to another is becos i wanna do everything together.... The part about responsibility and onwards are ALL WRONG!)
Your Inner Dream number is: 4
An Inner Dream number of 4 means: You dream of being a very solid citizen that people can depend upon. You strive for organization and predictable order. You want to be recognized as a person with a plan and the discipline to make that plan work like clockwork.
(erm, this is rather wrong, i am not interested in becoming a politician or wat..... )---------------------------------------------------------------
