: emotional intelligence. to put it in layman terms, it's just what we commonly are associated to - EQ. it measures the way you get along with people.

as quoted from wikepedia:
Some researchers believe EI is a cognitive ability just as is IQ (eg, Mayer & Salovey, 2000), others believe it is a combination of perceived abilities and traits (e.g., Schutte et al. 1998), while others consider it a skill that can be measured (such as Bradberry and Greaves 2005). These opposing views have inspired separate domains of inventories.

i think it's so cool, it's indeed a God-given present. the human mind is such a powerful and amazing tool beyond your own imagination. so, remove all your inhibitions and let that creative spark bring you far! i'm talking rubbish.

so, people with high emotional intelligence have their own individual ways with treating people, in a diplomatic manner so we make sure we don't offend anyone. have u ever thought about karma? is it for real? what comes around, goes around, what goes up, must come down.
i dont still don't quite get the latter phrase. does it mean that one can't stay at the top always? can one alwaye be on the opposite end of failure - success,victory,achievement? such a thing?
but karma is one concept which u can possibly apply to your everyday life - for the same judgement you give people, people would on the other hand, judge you in the same way. i feel guilty at times about this too - why try to remove that speck of sand from the eyes of others, when a huge, bulky plank of wood is blocking your vision? (from the book of matthew).

OK ANYWAY< our straits times reporter gang for food review around singapore consisted of :huiqi, me, sarene, beatrice and ben. under the tutelage of our fantastic chief editor huiqi, we managed to have a great time running around the east, giving comments for all the food we took. YUMMY!!!!!! =] please refer to chief editor's blog at http://huiqi-lemongurl.blogspot.com

(disclaimer: there were some MINOR, i repeat minor moments of embarrassement like sneaking out of the wa-something jap restaurant after we realised the food was so expensive that SPH could not sponsor us, and also reading this pri2 student's compre, that left me and huiqi bursting out in gaffaws outside a tuition centre, and making this certain man who stamped his foot while we were sticking our faces at the transparent glass panel at cocoa trees, parkway. (we weren't blocking the way anyway, he can write to straits times forum to complain haha)

i miss parkway! =] and we saw many familiar TK Faces like craig from 4k. mdm faridah used to scold him all the time during english AG lessons. and we saw martin from 4d (whom i made friends with on the last day of school) and jianrui's good friend, jarrretteth. whatever u spell his name, i'm not a journalist.


this is the plot from the pri2 kid's story.
this boy, (name shall not be revealed to keep privacy intact) was sleeping and suddenly he woke up because he found out that a CAT was beside his bed. he took a pail of water and splashed it on the cat. then his neighbour downstairs shouted up because of the water. after that we were pulled away by the other journalists.

now we know how a pri 2 student thinks. didn't the boy had parents?

a penny for my thoughts?
