Complex Theories and Analysis







INTJs are very analytical individuals. They are more comfortable working alone than with other people, and are not usually as sociable as others, although they are prepared to take the lead if nobody else is up to the task, or they see a major weakness in the current leadership. They tend to be very pragmatic and logical individuals, often with an individualistic bent and a low tolerance for spin or rampant emotionalism. They are also commonly not susceptible to catchphrases and commonly do not recognize authority based on tradition, rank or title. Hallmark features of the INTJ personality type include independence of thought, strong individualism and creativity. Persons with this personality type work best given large amounts of autonomy and creative freedom. They harbour an innate desire to express themselves; that is to be creative by conceptualizing their own intellectual designs. Analyzing and formulating complex theories are among their greatest strengths.

Sometimes, we try too hard. And when trying hard just doesn't seem to work, take the foot off the pedal. Relax. Think smart. And pick up where you left off. It works! (:

Now my only question is whether I should continue analyzing and formulating complex theories. I need my analyst's opinion right about now.

The Thin Red Circular Line





These lines. They cross many other lines. They tangle and untangle. But where it ends, who it ends up with, no one knows.

It's killing me. I thought that a five-day break from writing would make me forget everything and come up with something fresh. But when the time came for me to select labels for my post, "sweet distractions" sat inside the long white rectangular box all by itself.

Feeling Detached





The purpose of having a blog, personally, is to organize the mess in my head into something nice and decent. Helps make me calm and composed and more in control coz the mess are now beautiful entries. And a tiny part of me would like to read an entry each night to my grandchildren which'll make them go...

"Apa jadi dengan Little Red Riding Hood Atok?"

And hopefully I could tell them, "She's the one hiding at the doorway. Smiling. Eavesdropping."



I'm finding some of the comments I leave behind on Facebook blog-worthy. But it's funny though how feelings can change in a matter of minutes. I guess waiting for the morning trains will no longer be the same.

The Enigma





Have you ever done things without much thought only to look back and wonder why you did the things you did? But then you tell yourself that whatever the reasons maybe, perhaps it's best if they're left unspoken and unwritten.

I guess sometimes, it's liberating to do things without much analysis. It's alright to be random. To be enigmatic. To be spontaneous. To be me. Be yourself.
