Strengths Finder 2.0


Bobby bought another gift for me - a book! I have been wanting to take the assessment but I  don't have the code yet. He took the assessment few months back and i have just finished mine today. By the way the access code is valid for one time use only.




I encourage you to read this book and take the assessment. Like most people, I tend to focus on my weaknesses instead of investing more time in the areas where I have more potential for greatness.

When you take the assessment you have just 20 seconds to respond to each item. You will get your own top 5 themes with a personalized strength insights which describe what makes you stand out from others with the same theme in their top five.

Your Signature Themes report presents your five most dominant themes of talent, in the rank order revealed by your responses to StrengthsFinder. Of the 34 themes measured, these are my "top five." (This is a shared theme description, though.) 

1. Empathy - People who are especially talented in the Empathy theme can sense the feelings of other people by imagining themselves in others’ lives or others’ situation

2. Intellection - People who are especially talented in the Intellection theme are characterized by their intellectual activity. They are introspective and appreciate intellectual discussions.

3. Input - People  who are especially talented in the Input theme have a craving to know more. Often they like to collect and archive all kinds of information.

4. Maximizer - People who are especially talented in the Maximizer theme focus on strengths as a way to stimulate personal and group excellence. They seek to transform something strong into something superb.

5.Responsibility - People who are especially talented in the Responsibility theme take psychological ownership of what they say they will do. They are committed to stable values such as honesty and loyalty.


You'll learn more about yourself + it will give you better understanding about your unique self.




You CANNOT be anything you want to be -- but you CAN be a lot more of who you already are

A Review: Din Tai Fung Rockwell

Bob picked me up at the office for dinner last Friday. It had been raining heavily for a few days and we were both craving soup, but then we saw a Xiao Long Bao bar and our plans changed!

Because it was Friday and dinnertime, the tables were quickly filling up. Despite the fact that the line was long, it was efficiently managed. We were able to get our seats a few minutes after receiving our numbers. Because we pre-ordered, our food was served in less than 10 minutes after we took our seats.


Food ☆☆☆☆ The food pleased my palate especially the Golden Lava Salted Egg Yolk Bun, Shrimp and Pork Wontons with House Special Spicy Sauce and the Din Tai Fung House Special. Of course I also love the  Xiao Long Bao (Crab Roe and Pork) but it is too small and can be compared to another Xiao long bao from another restaurant.

Price vs. Serving size ☆☆ kinda expensive for me. 

Location and ambiance ☆☆☆☆☆ well-lit and spacious. Chic and modern. 

Staff and Service  ☆☆☆☆☆ Service was prompt and food were served hot.
