"Clever" is the word that perhaps describes ENTPs best. The professor who juggles half a dozen ideas for research papers and grant proposals in his mind while giving a highly entertaining lecture on an abstruse subject is a classic example of the type. So is the stand-up comedian whose lampoons are not only funny, but incisively accurate.
ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue--both for its own sake, and to show off their often-impressive skills. They tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil's advocate. They sometimes confuse, even inadvertently hurt, those who don't understand or accept the concept of argument as a sport.
ENTPs are as innovative and ingenious at problem-solving as they are at verbal gymnastics; on occasion, however, they manage to outsmart themselves. This can take the form of getting found out at "sharp practice"--ENTPs have been known to cut corners without regard to the rules if it's expedient -- or simply in the collapse of an over-ambitious juggling act. Both at work and at home, ENTPs are very fond of "toys"--physical or intellectual, the more sophisticated the better. They tend to tire of these quickly, however, and move on to new ones.
ENTPs are basically optimists, but in spite of this (perhaps because of it?), they tend to become extremely petulant about small setbacks and inconveniences. (Major setbacks they tend to regard as challenges, and tackle with determin- ation.) ENTPs have little patience with those they consider wrongheaded or unintelligent, and show little restraint in demonstrating this. However, they do tend to be extremely genial, if not charming, when not being harassed by life in general.
In terms of their relationships with others, ENTPs are capable of bonding very closely and, initially, suddenly, with their loved ones. Some appear to be deceptively offhand with their nearest and dearest; others are so demonstrative that they succeed in shocking co-workers who've only seen their professional side. ENTPs are also good at acquiring friends who are as clever and entertaining as they are. Aside from those two areas, ENTPs tend to be oblivious of the rest of humanity, except as an audience -- good, bad, or potential.

finally done the rebonding. Must say it was quite a hard decision to make but now that its done.. well its done. My crowning glory is now gloriously flat. Hoping it poufs up abit ( never thought i'd ever say this). So moving on...
Christmas.. I've never really thought about how I feel about the season. heh. Usually just went wherever I was invited or stayed home to watch cartoons. Now, having been away and all that, I'm starting to appreciate the getting-together mood that's associated with xmas. unfortunately, it seems like the more you try to pull people together, the more things fall apart. maybe i'm feeling abit bitchy but well. grow up. Maybe i'm just getting old and can't deal with change anymore.
So there. I'll go where I'm wanted. Otherwise I'll be visiting with Dexter, Scooby and Courage.

Catching up
Aaah.. Its been quite a nice weekend with shopping, nice tea and dinner on saturday and a great lax sunday. Didn't start off too well when i got grumpy with everyone for waking me up for b'fast. then spent there rest of the morning and afternoon reading fics... new ones and revisiting old ones.. like savouring memories.. haha. also managed to catch up with a couple of friends.. finally having proper conversations without having to rush off somewhere else.
The best part of it though, was dinner. Headed off to my aunt's and met up with chicken rendang, durian, grandma, uncles and aunts. Dinner was fun but the after-dinner conversation with my uncle and his wife topped it. It was a good opportunity, I guess, to round off my weekend of reflection and put my thoughts together. and I'm grateful for the very refreshing perspectives they have about life, education and living, basically.
Moment to remember - when they said that they were proud of who i've become. Nice to hear it, especially when I'm not particularly close to them. Makes me realise how much I appreciate these little compliments and i'll definitely make an effort to do this for others as well.
Yeah.. so I'm looking forward to drinks again.. hehe with the cuzzies and uncles. moms and dads have been officially banned so i think it'll be interesting. eheh
