ISFJ-The Protector
Your Type is 0% Extroverted, 75% Observant, 6% Logical and 75% Structured

The protector type is called such because you feel your life is best used to protect those you love from the pitfalls of life, to see to their safety and security. You belong to the larger group called guardians. You find great satisfaction in assisting the downtrodden. You are not talkative with strangers, but you can chat tirelessly with those you trust. You have a good solid work ethic. You are thorough and very likely frugal. You do not like to be in a place of authority, and will delegate poorly if forced into a lead position. You share your type with 10% of the population.

As a romantic partner, you are generous and gentle. Occasionally you may be taken for granted because of this fact. You are tireless in providing acts of service for your loved ones. You run the risk of always being exhausted because you won't say no to your partner. You are sensitive to criticism and will withdraw rather than fight back. You wish to be appreciated for your loyalty and whole hearted nuturing. Your values must be respected and you thrive on consideration and kindness.

============================================

Quite true for me.
Ate prawns with Katong Laksa today. Now feeling itchy all over. Strange growth on my elbow. Should not eat anymore prawns from today onwards.

Totally shagged after 4 hours of lan. Felt like dying after the session, when the adrenaline starts to wear off. Didn't even follow the guys to watch ppl play play basketball. Went straight home. Slept for 2 hours.

Pretty much a mindless day. Didn't have enlightenment about global politics or economical impact of natural disasters.

Seem to have stunted growth learning guitar. I can fret most chords perfectly. I can strum most of the church songs without much problem. Now I need to find something else to learn besides mastering chord changes. I don't want to go in to electric guitar, picking, power chords, that kind of stuff. Maybe i'll learn more finger picking styles, or some nice acoustic songs like "more than words". Just seems so slow. No longer in that short period where i learn a whole lot of stuff as compared to in November.

Haven't really blogged much lately, probably due to my hectic training schedule. Really been working hard to make up for the lost time and lost fitness during my last sickness, which is like, 2-3 weeks ago. And just when I'm starting to catch up with the intense training, I get a swollen foot, meaning maybe another 2-3 trainings gone.

Its just like life. You never know when the next bad thing will hit you. There may be moments of peace, and then in a blink of an eye, everything starts to plunge downwards. Suddenly everything is going wrong for you. When you haven't even gotten up from the ground, you fall flat on the ground again.

Just when RuiZhi is gradually recovering, the illness of their parents worsen. That's life.

But if there's anything that I learnt during the week, it is that no matter how down in the dumps one may be, God will always be with him. He is, after all, creator of the universe. Like what my friend jack says, God is in control. That is why we must be strong.

We must continue to hold the belief that everything that God allows to happen, happens for a reason. We need not understand. All we need is that faith in him.

"Whenever we cannot comprehend, all the more we must believe that God's love is at work." -weiliang
