The Saisaki Adventure ... no this is not a food review

meeting up with friends ... especially those whose company you really enjoy often leaves an indelible memory ... well i just had one of those moments ... a simple gathering with my former colleagues ... whom i first gotten to know back from those scholarship orientation camps ...

this time the gathering was held at saisaki restaurant ... a japanese buffet style restaurant that offer a huge variety of choice ... the ambiance is really nice and clean ... and i heard it was just being renovated ... well, as the title suggests, i will not be doing a food review ... for the simple reason that most of my time was spent catching up with this bunch of friends ... chatting and joking with them does bring back memories of the good ol' days where occasions such as this is a daily occurrence , during lunch time ...

overall it was a really good outing ... nice place, good food and great company ... what else can one ask for? other than for it to happen more frequent ... :P

who am i?

people who knows me at a personal level will definitely concur that i am one heck of a noisy character ... always being in the center of attention ... and a joker through and through ... and thus, most will definitely assume that i am an extrovert ...

well ... to a certain extent they are right ... and to another extent they are wrong ... during the company trip to bangkok ... i had the opportunity to go through a very interesting personality test conducted by one of my company's director ... and the result? its 21 points of introversion versus 19 of extroversion ... a rather balanced score, i would say

i won't go through the test in details but what makes it interesting is that it made me realize who i really am ... that deep down i prefer being alone ... and that i do find it hard for me to share my deepest thoughts and feelings with others ... yeah, it's hard to believe because people would prefer to believe what they can see ... and they can't see me when i am ALONE ... haha

so ... what about the other persona that most people see? is it just a façade? a mask that i put on in front of everyone? i would say, that is just me letting go of my self-restraint and just have fun for the sake of having fun ... basically having not a single care of the world and just enjoy myself ... often resulting in me stepping on people's toe unknowingly, or otherwise (but that is another story for another time)

yes it is truly contradicting ... bordering on dissociative identity disorder (that's multiple personality for you) ... ahhaha ... but that is just ... ME
