Its 2.07am on an early Sunday morning and i'm still not asleep...lol..y? Cause my hair is wet...and y is my hair wet? Cause i just reached home and bathed...and y did i just reach home? Cause i attended another 21st birthday party...This time the lead character is none other than Eric Tan...lol...well..i must say i was happy to see all the ppl that i havent seen for quite some time...namely Caren Jie, Chee teck and joycelyn, Iris (without a pupil :P) , Zheng Wen, Hua zai, Jeremy heng, Lixin, Siewmay, Sihui, Frankie...and some really old friend of mine from VS band like Liang he and Jian wei...lol..and of course not forgetting ma best bro J Goh..heh...although i must admit i was feeling moody and stuff like that..but i guess when i'm around ppl, the entertainer in me takes over and I simply couldnt help but to crack jokes throughout and act stupid..lol...It was....i guess one of the ways to cheer myself up as well...

But it seems like there were ppl that truely understood how i really felt...Like j goh and caren jie...who actually came to talk to me when they saw me just sitting there...they knew that I wasnt really myself..although i really "danced" alot...ha..at that moment i must say i really appreciated the concern they showed even when they could have enjoyed themselves and not bother about me...If there's a reason y i should cheer up and perform my magic for everyone will be because i knew they cared and wanted me to be happy...:) So i did... Anw..Thanks jie...for always understanding and telling me how much u care...and bro..u know la..u've always been there...and i'm really glad that u always understood and stood on my side as my bud...Yea...I always felt that appreciation is very impt... and i guess a simple thanks will let them know that i really do appreciate..:)

Anw..just wanna wish Eric a Great happy 21st birthday...and thanks for the wonderful food...although i spent more time bbq-ing than eating..lol...i think i only ate 1 hot dog, 4 satays, 1 mashmallow and 1 otah ( Frankie 'koped' one bite of it) ...but still...i enjoyed myself...Thanks eric and may all your wishes come true! :)

Well...during the little party we just talked alot...talked about our VS life with my VS bandmates and everything...brings back some memories...mostly bad ones though..haha cause i wasnt really committed to band at that time and being relatively smaller, i was often a target of teasing...but now we just all laughed about it and there were no more section leader-member kind of relation...we were just a group of friends talking about the past..lol...

And then there were some ppl who were still as active and funny as usual...talking to them is just so easy because they appreciated the jokes that we shared and acted stupid as well...but there were one or two who just didnt really think the stuff that we talked about are funny..to them they were just purely lame...there are other examples but of course i dont wanna list them out and cause any misunderstandings because i'm just pointing out and not attacking anyone..haha..to me if they dont like it..then i'll try to be more serious in front of them...simple as that...but they were the few ppl who actually made me think about EQ today.....

Hmmm.. according to Wikipedia, EQ , also called EI and often measured as an Emotional Intelligence Quotient, describes an ability, capacity, or skill to perceive, assess, and manage the emotions of one's self, of others, and of groups...This means that anyone with high EQ should be able to understand another easily and hence, be able to converse more easily with others...

To me, EQ is very impt ba...since without EQ, u will usually end up making another upset or unknowingly offend or even hurt someone...Today, i actually overheard something which surprised me...cause it didnt really happen and it involved a 3rd party who was definitely innocent...but I wasnt really in the mood to interrupt them or anything..so i just walked away..lol..this is a simple example of low EQ...making up stories to receive attention...

Actually EQ cannot be trained i guess...sometimes its a matter of whether u wan to show it anot...for example if u truly appreciate and like someone i think u wouldnt just potray low EQ in front of him/her...in fact..out of concern, care and love, u would most prob do almost the right thing and understand his/her feelings...This...will allow u to at least potray high level of EQ and reduce friction...but for some ppl...they just fail to do it cause they dont care...or they cant be bothered about how others might be thinking...these are the people who are of extremely low EQ and might end up regretting in future...Well..to those who dont believe in EQ...i just wanna highlight the fact that it is really very impt and it deals a great impact in your life...be it in relationships, career or family....So do think about it...if not...then u better have an extremely high IQ...cause Einstein was like that...he had extremely high IQ but extremely low EQ...(I read it somewhere) But if u cant have a super high IQ like him...then...maybe u can try harder..lol :P (btw i'm really not speaking of anyone in particular k...dont misunderstand..just some thoughts...and thoughts that come out at midnight...is kinda ridiculous at times...so...haha dont think too much yea?)

And for those who wanna find out how high your EQ is...u can find the quiz at Blogthings.com which u can find under "Hidden Villages" on the right side... Or if u are too lazy to find...i guess i'll just link it here for u... Here's the quiz: What's Your EQ Quiz.

Anw... my EQ is 127 on the first attempt and 130 at the second...so i'm pretty much above average...But meanwhile do try the quiz and they will actually explain to u how ur EQ is like at the end of the quiz...lol..Enjoy~

Lastly, I've seen many ppl's blog with their "Wish List", "Wants list", etc etc...but I realised i havent had my own...lol...and since my birthday is coming soon...*Cough* *Cough* 24th *Cough* of June *Cough* I've decided to come out with my own...maybe a short one to start with...lol...

Zhi Xiang's Wish List

Other than that...I suddenly just couldnt think of anything for now...maybe cause its 3.15am and i'm feeling a bit drowsy...hmm..haha maybe i'll update the list in my next post or something...meanwhile...i hope most of u are sleeping...see u again soon...Will update some pics during today's (or should i say Yesterday's) Chalet when i receive them from Eric...Gtg...Ciaoz~
