Friday Frolics - The Five Factor Emotional Intelligence Test

Ahh.. the haze is back in Kuala Lumpur but it rained early this morning, so that helped to clear the smog a little. The good side of "our kind of haze" here in Malaysia is that it's only at certain times of the year, not all year round. Phew! But I digress. It's Friday again, so a personality quiz is in order. Find out how emotionally intelligent are you this week..

Happy Friday, everyone!

You Sometimes Attend to Your Emotions

You find expressing your emotions to be quite natural. You just say and show how you feel. You balance heart and head when conducting your life. Facts matter, but feelings matter too. You are somewhat emotionally responsive. You react emotionally, but you are not overly sensitive. You are an extremely empathetic person. You find it easy to put yourself in someone else's shoes.

Pandas open to the public on June 27 - Zoo Negara

The long wait to see pandas in Malaysia is soon over.

Pandas (Ms) Feng Yi and (Mr) Fu Wa are scheduled for public-viewing on June 27, that's a week away, at the panda complex at Zoo Negara...location map. Zoo Negara, the National Zoo, is not far from the city, so you may want to include seeing pandas in your itinerary the next time you visit Kuala Lumpur.

Tickets to enter the specially-built Panda Complex are at RM20 for adults and RM10 for children aged between 3 and 12. Entrance tickets are available on the same day at the zoo’s website.

(Strangely, I made a call to the Zoo and the nice lady on the other end said they have yet to receive instructions/information about ticketing so she couldn't provide more than what she knows. But I did confirm that ticket to see the pandas at the Panda Complex is in addition to the regular Zoo entrance ticket.) Call it inflation, all categories of tickets have been increased from last year when I posted about it - by roughly RM5.00.

For your easy reference, here's the current Zoo Negara Entrance Fee schedule obtained from the Zoo Negara website:

According to Zoo Negara deputy president Rosly:

“We can accommodate only 3,500 visitors at the complex daily. We hope visitors will plan their visit as the zoo has about 12,000 visitors during weekends.”

Rosly said adjustments to the complex were made during the pandas’ one-month quarantine, which started on May 21.

“We adjusted the water pressure at a man-made waterfall in the complex as the pandas dislike loud noise.

“We are also increasing the maximum temperature from 24°C to 27°C based on the temperature at the pandas’ native home in China.”

“On June 21, a trial session will be held, where about 900 visitors comprising zoo staff and their family members will view the pandas before the opening day.”

Rosly said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is expected to launch the complex on June 25.

“There will also be a celebration to commemorate the 40 years of diplomatic ties between Malaysia and China, as well as the zoo’s 50th anniversary, on the same day.”

The zoo will close at 3pm on that day instead of 5pm.

Friday Frolics - The Night Test

Good morning! I'm kind of in a hurry to get the next post up (about when we can see 'our' very own pandas in the zoo), so I've chosen a very short personality quiz this week.

Pick the night scene you prefer to see what it says about you.

(Off to continue with the Panda post..) When can you see the pandas? You'll know soon enough.

You Are Together

You are extremely determined, sometimes to the point of being stubborn. You don't give up easily. Everyone who knows you can see how dedicated you are. If you take on a responsibility, you see it through. You are very conscientious, and you never resent doing the right thing. You believe that working hard is its own reward. You are well-rounded and informed about the world around you. People seek out your opinion and advice.

A US$9.5 million rare stamp

In a packed room at Sotheby’s in Manhattan, this incredibly rare 19th century postage stamp, a tiny one-cent magenta from British colonial Guyana just sold for approximately US$9.5 million on Tuesday making it a new world record price for a stamp.

Measuring 1.25 inches (2.54 by 3.18 centimetres), the stamp is octagonal, printed in black ink and bears the initials of its past owners on the back.

Just a tiny piece of paper, this makes it the most expensive object in the world by weight.

Encased in glass, the stamp dates back more than 150 years and has passed through great collections, now breaking a world record price four times since 1922.

The auction house says the stamp is the only surviving example of a one-cent magenta, so rare that it is missing even from the British royal family’s philatelic collection.
