Keirsey Temperament Sorter
Heard of Keirsey temperament sorter?
What's your personality type? Ever wonder? Perhaps you have done so many personality tests... or at least once in your life. Right? Right? Right?
Personally, I've done a few... but lately, I thought perhaps my personality has changed over time, or has it?
I was browsing through the website about dono-wat :p and found this site http://www.keirsey.com/ by accident. I took a free test (answer 70 very short questions) and got the result almost immediately.
Check this out...

Guardians are the cornerstone of society, for they are the temperament given to serving and preserving our most important social institutions. Guardians have natural talent in managing goods and services--from supervision to maintenance and supply -- and they use all their skills to keep things running smoothly in their families, communities, schools, churches, hospitals, and businesses.
Guardians can have a lot of fun with their friends, but they are quite serious about their duties and responsibilities. Guardians take pride in being dependable and trustworthy; if there's a job to be done, they can be counted on to put their shoulder to the wheel. Guardians also believe in law and order, and sometimes worry that respect for authority, even a fundamental sense of right and wrong, is being lost. Perhaps this is why Guardians honor customs and traditions so strongly -- they are familiar patterns that help bring stability to our modern, fast-paced world.
Practical and down-to-earth, Guardians believe in following the rules and cooperating with others. They are not very comfortable winging it or blazing new trails; working steadily within the system is the Guardian way, for in the long run loyalty, discipline, and teamwork get the job done right. Guardians are meticulous about schedules and have a sharp eye for proper procedures. They are cautious about change, even though they know that change can be healthy for an institution. Better to go slowly, they say, and look before you leap.
Guardians make up as much as 40 to 45 percent of the population, and a good thing, because they usually end up doing all the indispensable but thankless jobs everyone else takes for granted.
Guardians at Work
As a Guardian, you enjoy working as a valued member of a team, whether you are leading it or following a credible leader. You like to work with people who carry their weight. You appreciate having clear-cut responsibilities and being recognized for your dedication and achievements. Your natural traits are those that employers have traditionally valued - and that successful companies still respect. You are responsible and loyal to an organization once you've signed on.
Establishing and following a familiar daily routine is critical to your well being. In your ideal job, you and your coworkers would all share information so that everyone could remain "on the same page” as projects move forward. Because you genuinely care about the people you work with, your colleagues and your customers appreciate your unassuming kindness.
All Guardians share the following core characteristics:
- Guardians pride themselves on being dependable, helpful, and hard working.
- Guardians make loyal mates, responsible parents, and stabilizing leaders.
- Guardians tend to be dutiful, cautious, humble, and focused on credentials and traditions.
- Guardians are concerned citizens who trust authority, join groups, seek security, prize gratitude, and dream of meting out justice.
Ahem! Ahem! That's the results of my personality test. Sounds like me alright! Hahahaha! Perasan! :p
Have you taken yours? :)

Happy Teacher's Day 2011_my thoughts
A mother made these colourful muffins for all the teachers. I managed to capture some photos before they entered our mouths :D They tasted great (less sugar I'd say)! Then, the child gave each teacher a cute "Teacher's Day" coaster as well. Another child gave a rose with ferrero rocher chocolate.
It's my 2nd year celebrating "Teacher's Day" in my life as a teacher. At first, it wasn't easy to respond to that "call". It sounded and felt weird. But after some months, I got used to people calling me, "Teacher Rachel" :)
Here's me sharing with you what it is like being a preschool teacher. It is not very easy being one, especially when the kids under your care are not your own and when it's not just about handling one or two or three of them! When the number of students increases, it does good to the centre but not-so-good to the child and care-taker. Every child needs attention, and some need more than others. When you cant give them what they need, you basically putting your head on the chopping board. They could be crying, or some would even hurt themselves or other children just so that they get your attention. And then, it's about disciplining the class and at the same time loving them, teaching them and making sure that their parents are also satisfied with the "services" rendered to them and to their children. It's a pretty tough call to be a teacher, but when you do get into this position and when you see your children learning new things everyday, and when you hear your children say "Yay!" when they see you coming into the class, the satisfaction is guaranteed! :D
Happy Teacher's Day to all the GREAT TEACHERS out there!

Last Saturday, after work, Sarah & I went to Jusco to have lunch and do some window shopping. I asked her the usual question, "What would you like to eat?"
Sarah : McDonalds!
Mummy : No...
Sarah : KFC?
Mummy : Hmmm... Yes, we'll be having KFC later for dinner. Daddy wants to eat with girl-girl and mummy later. OK?
Sarah : Oh... now KFC blue moon ar?
Mummy : Yes, but only later at night.
Sarah : Oh....
And so... we reached Jusco! We walked pass McD....
Sarah : Mummy, why so many people eating McDonalds? But it's yellow moon worrrr......
Mummy : Yes, but for us, we need to wait for blue moon then only we eat McDonalds OK?
Sarah : McDonalds yellow moon, KFC blue moon ar?
Mummy : Yes, girl... :)
Sarah : Oh....
Sometimes, kids at this age would repeat... and repeat... and repeat words after words. And of course mummy have to be a lil patient to listen, to explain, and sometimes to repeat.... and repeat... and repeat the same answers over and over again. Haha... Just something to go through when we have a kid like tht! :)
Read previous post on blue moon.
Doe, a deer... oh dear! :)
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow sew
Tea, I drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to do...oh oh oh
Sarah : Mummy, what is "doe, a deer"?
Mummy : Doe is a female deer. A deer is an animal. Deer is the boy and doe is the girl. (Haha! Ain't sure if i am making sense to this lil 3 year old! :))
Sarah : Oh.... Then, daddy is "deer" ar? Dear, wake up! Dear, wake up!
Mummy : (LOL!)
Mummy calls daddy "dear" and sometimes she hears me calling him to wake up (like how she said it!) It was really fun to have conversations with her at this stage. She is a real darling and she really makes me laugh out loud! :D
We used to sing a lot together. One of the song is "Do-Re-Mi", but lately, every song we sing will have a question that follows. She is really an information digger. Hahaha.
