Top 10 most suited careers for Scropio

HAHAHAHAHA.. quite interesting!!!!

link: http://www.jxue.com/e_t/horo/news.asp?nID=28278


===
Coroner/法医
Scorpio is perfectly suited for this work, which could horrify others. They are not bothered by working with a dead body and will investigate tirelessly to determine the cause of death and other pertinent details. Scorpio has a surgeon's eye and a penchant for detective work that matches the qualities needed in a Coroner. There is usually no need to comfort grieving families or get into the emotional side of the case, because it is strictly science, but they could easily handle it if necessary.

Private Investigator/私人调查员
The natives of this sign are naturally nosy individuals who love to discover secrets but value highly their own privacy. All of this adds up to someone who is good at uncovering the crazy stuff that others want to hide. The Scorpion is also great at working undercover and quietly observing people and their activities. They are excellent researchers and won't give up until they have all the facts. A penchant for revenge sometimes comes in handy.

Psychiatrist/精神病医师
The chance to hear the dirty laundry of countless clients and figure out their issues is the kind of life that Scorpio lives for. Better to do it in a formal setting than become a voyeur or creepy friend. Scorpio psychiatrists may be quick to blame everything on sexual problems and may have to examine themselves first before pointing the finger.

Embalmer/尸体防腐者
With this career, Scorpios excel, not only because they are fascinated with the dead, but also because they are ambitious and hard working. This is a lifetime career that is demanding and stressful, but well suited to a Scorpio with endurance and fortitude. As with being a coroner, they are able to marry science and anatomy with work that takes a lot of dedication and a lack of squeamishness.

Researcher/调查员
The Scorpion can be found in scientific labs, whether working for pharmaceutical companies or doing research for private industry or government agencies. There is a certain aspect of the Scorpion character that wants to be the best, and when applied properly, will find a cure for a disease, the ultimate weight loss solution, or a new form of birth control. Whatever the problem, they will find the answer or improve on the solution.

Surgeon/外科医生
The Scorpio native is intense and driven. They have a lot of endurance and a strong desire to excel. These qualities allow them to be outstanding surgeons who eventually achieve an impeccable reputation in the operating room. Inner strength and tenacity allow them to persevere when it seems like all is lost. During medical school, they most likely have high marks, a lot of pressure, and a huge number of one-night stands.

Sex Therapist/性病专家
Of all the signs of the Zodiac, Scorpio is the obvious choice to work with people who have hang-ups and dysfunction in the bedroom. The airing of dirty little secrets, sexual fantasies, and embarrassing details does not deter dear Scorpio. In fact nothing is too shocking for this personality. They have the ability to get to the root of the matter and help their clients to make adjustments and work through problems.

Dominatrix/牧师
This career is not for everyone, but for those Scorpios with a strong personality and lots of need for control, this job could be very lucrative and satisfying. There is the opportunity to work from home, wear an interesting uniform, and work out some aggression. This is not for the faint of heart or the passive, but can be a way to access the dark side without causing too much harm.

Bill Collector/票据收款人
Another job that allows the nasty side of Scorpio to emerge is in collections. They can get paid to abuse and cajole deadbeats and debtors eight hours a day and then go home to relax in front of the fire. Empty threats and daily harassment are the tools of the trade, requiring a lot of dogged determination and a will to succeed. They are not daunted at all by people who don't answer the phone or open their mail, and will find a way to get to them.

Hypnotist/催眠师
Scorpio loves being in control and is fascinated by the unconscious. When acting responsibly, this career could be perfect for them. Working with clients who want to shake bad habits, they are able to make hypnotic suggestions, which are effective in dealing with these problems. Some people are looking to remember past lives or hidden memories. The Scorpion is the master of secrets and hidden things.

專家統計踢爆 星座婚配多大話 (明報) 03月 28日 星期三 05:10AM
【明報專訊】什麼星座的情侶最登對?占星學理論是天蠍配雙魚、天秤配雙子……但英國社會科學家的統計卻發現,星座與愛情婚配並無關係,反而天蠍與雙魚座的夫婦多離婚收場。

英國曼徹斯特大學的研究員根據01年的人口普查,統計英格蘭及威爾士1000萬對夫婦的星座,發現並沒迹象證明哪些星座的男女會糖黐豆、哪些會水溝油。

天蠍雙魚夫婦多離婚

社會科學系的沃亞斯博士說,婚姻數據符合他們根據或然率推算的結果,在1000萬對夫婦中,就算只是有千分一的夫婦受星座影響,某種星座搭配的夫婦至少也會多出1萬對,惟各種配搭相當平均,「要是處女座真的較喜歡山羊座,天秤座較喜歡獅子座,這應該會在婚姻數據中反映出來」。

占星學家菲爾丁則反駁:「結婚數字只能提供部分資料,科學家應同時統計離婚數字。」占星學相信天蠍與雙魚是星座絕配,雙方的深厚感情會建立出穩固關係,但雙魚座的伊利莎白泰萊,卻與天蠍座的李察波頓兩度結婚、兩度離婚。他們於64年首次結婚,10年後離婚,至75年又再度結婚,但翌年又離異。此外,雙魚座的布斯韋利士與天蠍座的狄美摩亞結婚11年亦以離婚收場。

Podcast: Manager Tools

Lately many of you have heard me blah blahing about the new Podcasts I've been crazy about... thanks to my sis & bro-in-law for getting me the new iPod!! hahhaaa.. out of all the Podcasts I've been experimenting I highly recommend this Manager Tools' Podcast

As I've mentioned in some of my mails, I mean, many topics discussed are just "common sense" to us - and many maybe very minor things - so minor that we never really sit down and THINK about it! However "minor" they might be, I believe these are some great hints for us to learn, and distinguish ourselves from the rest and being truly PROFESSIONAL!!

Just found that too little time for too many useful information out there - and FREE! Glad that I can do this during my commute time every day (rather than just listening to pop songs!) So check it out when you've time, definitely will help for those who still wanna GROW in his/her own career - after all, who'll really SIT down and TELL you WHAT and HOW to do - in a professional way?! ;)

P.S. i need to listen "faster" though - although the regular Podcast is like 3 times a wk I only "covered" those aired like 1+ yrs ago!! too little time too little time! XD

Doogie Hauser & Calvert DeForest...

Have you watch Doogie Hauser before?

I still remember watching it every afternoon after high school - ha, still remember young Dr. Hauser will keep an electronic diary (nowaday's blog!!) at the end of each episode (it's word perfect's bright blue screen!!!!) I don't really remember much about what the show is about (mostly about life good story!?) but i remember having a warm feeling every time i watched it....

was watching David Letterman earlier and have a clip showing Doogie Hauser on the morning Regis show (i never know his real name is Neil Patrick Harris!) ANYWAY, time sure pass, look at him now

I think he's kinda not-so-cute now la...(and, he's gay...) @_@''


hahaha

btw, Letterman also gave a moment to Calvet DeForest, who past away on March 19, 2007. I never know his name either (i'm such a bad viewer!) but i do remember him on Letterman's show..... i remember him being so funny!!!!! I looked up some of his Bio and found that he retired from Letterman's show in 2002 (so when i was there he's still on the show).... well.. anyway, rest in peace, calvet, u reminded me lots of fun time you've on the show...

David Letterman On The Death of Calvert DeForest

"Everyone always wondered if Calvert was an actor playing a character, but in reality he was just himself - a genuine, modest and nice man," said Letterman. "To our staff and to our viewers, he was a beloved and valued part of our show, and we will miss him."

DeForest passed away on Monday, March 19 at age 85. His debut on "Late Night," as Larry Bud Melman, came in 1982, and was followed by dozens of appearances as various characters on the NBC show and on the LATE SHOW, which Letterman has hosted on CBS since 1993."

Always a reason behind?

Is there a "must" to have some intentions behind in order to being nice to some one?

Of course I'll be nice to certain level of friends/colleagues/ppl who walks into my life, I guess there's always "some" reason behind - but sometimes it's just very simple (i.e. friends loh), and ppl just making it too complicated???

I guess afterall the society I'm in ppl will just think there must be some "reasons" if someone treating me very good.... strange, simply just don't understand...

Maybe I should be glad that I'm not the ONLY ONE who makes things complicated!

十二星座的黑星

牡羊座的黑星:最害怕面对天蝎座锐利的眼神 ,仿佛能够一眼穿心,对双鱼座爱撒娇的特性也不懂应付。改善的方法应该在思想上武装自己,不要让感情泛滥,最好以水瓶座冷眼旁观的处世方法为典范。


★金牛座的黑星:最怕射手座的五时花六时变、得一又想二的性格;白羊座的单刀直入也会令金牛座哑口无言。改善方法是学习双鱼座的处世原则,当发现自己的论点毫无立场时,赶快岔开话题。


★双子座的黑星:最难理解摩羯座沉郁不语时候在想什么,时常在情绪高涨时给对方泼冷水 ;对于金牛座的啰唆,更是无福消受。改善方法是学习牡羊座般强烈表达自我意识,对别人的消极反应视若无睹。


★巨蟹座的黑星:最难面对水瓶座及双子座那种理智,凡事都谋求合理的解,并以冷静态度面对人际关系的处世方式。改善方法是当自己感到力不从心时不要慌乱,学习金牛座勇敢的表达自己,抱着“打死罢就”的心态


★狮子座的黑星:最怕面对双鱼座和巨蟹座,狮子座喜欢受人赞美,最好在言词之中流露敬佩及爱慕之情,便会感到飘飘然,但可惜双鱼座和巨蟹座并不喜欢阿谀奉承,令狮子座甚感无趣,应该学习双子座轻松的自嘲。


★处女座的黑星:最不懂面对牡羊座和狮子座的强势,表面上虽会默默接受,实际上却累积了无数不满。克服的方法是学习巨蟹座的凡事诉诸感情,不要只讲理论,同时要放下不肯认输的心态。


★天秤座的黑星:最难应付金牛座的死气沉沉、了无生趣,也很忍受处女座的批判性语气,一副专家口吻。应该学习狮子座的皇者风范,想说便说,不要只懂顾及别人的感受,对自己坚持的应当坚持下去。

天蝎座 的黑星:天蝎座最受不了天秤座和双子座 ,当大家都认真严肃时,他们郤表现出一副吊儿郎当、玩世不恭的样子。应该学习处女座充实人生的做法,不要太在意自己的缺点,令至自己有强烈的自卑感。


★射手座的黑星:最受不住巨蟹座满有心事的样子,以及天蝎座带来的压迫感 ,会令射手座坐立不安,想尽快逃离现场。化解方法最好是学习天秤座,用惊讶的语气和表情,缓和周围的气氛,做出别人期望的反应。


★摩羯座的黑星:最难忍受狮子座不可一世的态度,以及射手座那令人无法掌握的速度和处事方法。改善之道是学习天蝎座那令人不敢贸然接近的威严。摩羯座大多很有才能,只是缺乏魄力和威严,使自己暗中吃亏。


★水瓶座的黑星:最讨压处女座喜欢打断别人话柄、一听到不合意的说话便加以批评的恶习,也不喜欢水瓶座纯理性地谈论事情,拿不到任何真凭实据。应该学学射手座的乐观,不需要凡事都追根究柢。

★双鱼座的黑星:最怕天秤座亲切之中隐藏的防人之心,以及水瓶座对任可事都过份冷淡的态度。应该放下你爱刁难、任性的心,学习摩羯座的实际,偶然向现实低头,最好再学一技傍身,对生活才有保障。

WHAT? (i still remember the setting was that i've to stay in some place (not HK) for a while, and getting me the new puppy such that i won't miss elvin - but what'd to my baby elvin?????????????????????????????????

maybe i should just tell myself i shouldn't dream too much (Or i should tell myself NOT TO REMEMBER my dreams!) XDDDDD

oh, the other "dream"... was the EU trip we've talked about - go to London for museum, then take undersea train to go to Amsterdam, then go all the way to Brussels (my favorite EU city), and Paris..... i learn French and u learn Spanish such that we can also go to Spain.... should pick up mandarin first u've said.... how about a 3-4 days trip to beijing instead?

but then, when u can't even plan for a 3-4 days trip, why are we talking about a 2 wk EU trip?

ANYWAY, maybe as today's horoscope i should just MOVE ON

天 蠍 座 ★ 24/10-22/11

FW: Don't Hesitate to Self-Promote

Am I blue? or Am I pink? I think i'm sometimes blue and some times pink?????

pretty interesting article...

Don't Hesitate to Self-Promote

"A blue woman wants to get to the point, writes emails without greetings or salutations and believes in win/lose.

"A ‘pink' woman likes to know the person she is doing business with as a person, believes that having a bonding moment first can make work done on tasks go faster and more effectively and believes in win/win," she adds.

So SWEET!!!!!!!!

Prison Break Season 2 episode 14 on ward is on the way! YEAH~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dinner gathering with Boilers - the informal one

So last Sat i got a little upset w/ some formal reunion matters (just the word "grass root" really irritates me!!!!!) As my friend said someone may use "grass root" to describe one self but i think whoever use this particular word to describe OTHERS are VERY MEAN (as one may put - no manner!)

ANYWAY, so tonite i organized another Boilers gathering - the informal one! :D As eric is back w/ his girl. Well, I was meant for a SMALLER dinner but turn out the largest table couldn't fit all of us (Natasha has to sit w/ big den!) wahahahahha... (and how ironic - the formal dinner we're trying to bring UP the attendants but no one show up, while this meant to be "smaller" dinner turn out too many!)

*sigh*

ANYWAY, back to the point, so half of the table i don't know! (hahaahahaha) but it's alright, it's a fun dinner i guess - glad low dai, big den, natasha & rich are here. That's good. :) We talked about our June's trip (even though doesn't really go anywhere! hahaha) *and sorry rich* But then it's cool. Kara, Terence, Raymond, small den, belinda, otto, chun & adrian were also there (really don't know the last few "kids"). haha..

Afterall some of them is class of 2007! OMG! just on book i'm 7 yrs older than them~ !@#$%YU^%$#

we ordered 2 8 person's menu (well, kara decided! haha, worry free!) Frankly speaking i didn't really eat much at all (just a bit too crowded!! haha)... but just bunch of catch up w/ low dai, big den & rich - i haven't seen them for a very long time (okay we chatted on MSN but that's different la!) Anyway, i'm sorry low dai is a bit bored! :D but hey, we made it up by having an early b-day cake for him woh! (and so many ppl share the small cake w/ him!)

hahahaa.. it's okay, he told me later on that he actually had THREE CAKES TODAY already (3 from work - one for his boss (today), one for him (tmr) and one for his colleague (3/14)

I was just kidding to him - i'm sure this yr is the yr he has the most # of b-day cake - and NOT on his OWN birthday! hahahahaha

Anyway, happy birthday low dai, thanks for treating me as a brother all along! haha... and big den, natasha and rich - glad still have some "close" friends from college in HK - after all these years :)

P.S. Although the table has a few "generations" as you might imagine - there's one common thing in common - that we're "Thunder Water Roy's" Schoolmates (at anyone of our Boiler's life) wahahahahahahahahahahahaha :P

Mission Complete: Prison Break - Season 2 (Episode 1 - 13)

So I've been "seeing" Michael for the last wk (wahahahaha).... i wouldn't say Season 2 isn't as good as Season 1 - well, i think the speed is a bit slower, and having watching the whole 13 episodes in a wk's time have kinda "enable" me to know about the director's style so kinda be able to catch wht they wanna do next XD

anyway, i still think Michael is so cute (AND WITH THE BRAIN!) (but low dai told me he's gay?! NO WAY!!) hahahaa.... anyway, glad i've finished episode 1-13 during the wkend (so i don't have to stay up during wkday next wk) :D can't wait for the remaining episodes of Season 2 to come out..

Questions...

just happened that a friend of my throw out this question when i was writing last blog,

"Do you think anyone is proud of you because of who you are or what you did?"

hmm... interesting question... frankly speaking i can't come up one on top of my mind right away... (er... pretty sad)... i mean, it's PROUD we're talking about, it's not like "oh, she's cool whatever whatever, it's PROUD we're talking about.... er.. i can think of a couple of my friends whom i think i'm PROUD to know them (as my friend)...

ANYWAY, it's not about me - what's ur answer?

A note from Budapest...

can't believe it was a yr since the last time i visited Budapest - last time i was really excited to go all over the place - but not this time anymore la - i mean, the weather is nice, i've like a whole afternoon (after biz meeting)... but then, for some reason i just don't wanna go around like last time...

oh well, it's okay i guess :P

over the wkend baby went to ah ca's 讀書會, too bad that i couldn't make it. Oh well, hope for next time la~~~ and it's so weird that we've been talking to ah ca for the last 10 yrs (so old man!)... mixed feeling - she was single (and so was baby) back then... and now both of them are MARRIED, and (both of them) with TWO kids...

also got vick's email for her wedding date... she has announced this like a while back, i just need to fix up my itinerary (ha, really need to CONFIRM it!)... so she's getting marry...

which reminds me another friend from Taiwan i know from Purdue.... over the yrs he got married with a HKese girl, and now with a kid (can't remember it's a son or girl?!)

listening to this song from last Miriam CD - one of my friends said that she can't find this in k (as she wanna sing it)... i think there's not much "music" behind, but the way miriam sing it (like telling a tale) is so... "my cup of tea"... I think it can also came from a guy's point of view (the gender can be vice versa) - and even though not everyone like her can achieve to be the TOP in her career - indeed it's kinda sad - not only to herself, but i think it's also sad for the guy...

她成功了他沒有

歌手:楊千嬅 | 作曲:Jean Chien
填詞:林夕 | 編曲:C Y Kong

他跟女友相愛 彼此也都知道
走進教堂彷似很遠路
他跟女友相約 假使理想找到
彼此再想婚禮實太好

跨出社會旅途 一起要為兩毫
加班加到嘔吐 不想拖到衰老
彼此理想一致 積蓄也都消耗
開一間唱片舖 也 總算是自豪

這間唱片小店 他跟女友一半
聽得再多歌也不會悶
開張顧客擠滿 不久惹起不滿
因他賣買的全是冷門

他的計劃滿盤 打開市道窄門
積蓄花去一半 彼此爭拗批判
股份各佔一半 他的女友想退
出去再去工作沒成本

這個故事發展 講他跟她不免
彷似世上情人講遍世上甜言
可惜經過試煉 不惜撕破了臉
為了錢 手裡沒餘錢

只恐很快情變 即使天生一對
只願睡完明天可再見
可惜他已發現 只得他那理想不變

他的顧客少到 心底未免感慨
堅守理想令錢袋有害
他的女友跑去 參加唱歌比賽
得到冠軍在承受喝彩

他都看著發呆 他不太擅理財
終於將唱片店忍心關閉不愛
找不愛的工作 跟他女友的愛
竟因理想不再枉過十餘載

他工作為兩餐 他分開的一半
早已照耀樂壇深怕有日被彈
星光不再燦爛 忠心觀眾發難
就似每晚過關就似永遠上班

跟他不再往還 只因所有愛情
可使一個偶像不養眼
想得到真愛更難 只想觀眾永久不散

他早已婚不再跟這女友相愛
青春理想失去不意外
他聽女友演唱 少不免有感慨
他早變了觀眾在喝彩

即使再沒往來 他的眼淚快來
一生彷似比賽 彼此找到所愛
拒絕平淡未來 他的女友偏愛
孤身隻影飛上天際摘雲彩

這個故事原本想講天生一對
彷似童話可愛
他得到髮妻的愛
他的女友偏卻得到理想失去愛

But then, what's 理想 afterall? Do we really have one these days? how can we plan w/ the "other half" - when we don't know what exactly we want (one self)?

A note from Geneva...

so i've been to Geneva for a bit more than 48 hrs.... well, let's do a little recap..:

  • english definitely can't get you too far anywhere here in Geneva - French that is you need to know @_@' i'm a little surprised as u know, all these international organizations are having headquarter here... i was thinking this is an "international" city ma.... (even the lady in post office doesn't understand the word "stamps" - i mean, come on...... go to post office of course want to buy stamps la V_V
  • unlike other EU city - i remember most EU cities i've been to, it will be like "ghost city" during wkend (okay maybe other than Amsterdam) - but today when i walked around most of the areas are quite crowded (like CWB in HK)... quite different than typical EU city i've been to loh
  • weather is nice - not too cold (around 10-15deg C), just a few showers in the morning time, which i kinda manage to avoid them (i.e. slept in) haha
  • ferry tour around the geneva lake isn't reallz that "special" - i mean, when we've star ferry in HK :P
  • there're dogs EVERYWHERE - from the streets, to shopping mall (yep, i mean INSIDE THE SHOPPING MALLs), not to mention on the bus - AND, in the airport too!!! WOW Swiss REALLZ LOVES their pet....
  • tried cheese fountain tonite (they call it cheess fountan) - one of the things one must do when they're in SWISS ma - but frankly speaking it definitelz not mz favorite loh - the taste is just sooooooooooooooooo strong it feel like the Chinese food - fu yue.... just imagine you dip ur bread into the warmed up fu yue sauce... yuk!!! tried so hard not to vomit in the restaurant!!
  • for some reason their kezboard is different than US??? location of y & z is reversed, "shift 2" is not the sign "@" .... quite annozing "="
  • i gotta line up for like 20 min in the currency exchange place near my hotel - i mean, BOTH 2 SHOPs had a long line! must be lots of tourist around the area...
  • saw rainbow near the waterspout - i haven't see one for a longggggggggg time!!!
  • i think that's all i remember for now - probably will blog more later on (as this keyboard is REALLY annoying!!) need to go back to the hotel to pack tonite, and head to Budapest tmr afternoon...

Geneva!

well, hectic trip it was planned from the last trip - turn out ALL the preparation i've done is a WASTE - i miss the flight @_@;;;

so i was stuck in HK for the last few days - and life isn't really "easier" than that crazy trip - b/c have to do the "make up" for "no show" V_V';;

So, in about 4 hrs time, i'll be heading to Geneva instead (and then Budapest)

First time to Geneva... hope it'll be fun (i just know it will be COLD)...

better get going - can't miss flight twice in a wk!!!
