My Creative Type (Updated) from Adobe Create Quiz


When I took Adobe's Creative Types quiz in 2022 to discover the power of my creative strengths, my result was The Dreamer.

The Regenerator


This time, I took the same quiz again, and the result was The Regenerator.

Based on the description, my sharp and analytical mind is constantly at work, investigating the world and methodically solving problems. I tend to apply new ways of thinking to old challenges, evolving them from within rather than discarding them entirely.

Setbacks are seen as opportunities for reinvention. Apparently, I like breaking things down, understanding their essential parts, and reassembling them into something stronger. I also bring a sense of resilience and adaptability to every challenge I face.

My creativity is rooted in keen observation. A deep care for the world inspires me to look closely at ideas, systems, and structures to find ways to improve and adapt them. When limitations present themselves, I reinvent. Dismantling and deconstruction become necessary parts of the creative process.

I'm not particularly drawn to flashy disruption or abstract ideals. Instead, I believe in thoughtful restoration and repair. I understand that outdated ways of thinking have contributed to problems, and I'm willing to rebuild from the inside out. I focus on structural integrity and long-term impact.

I also tend to work best in solitude, with ample time for deep focus and reflection.

Zone of genius: Adaptive problem-solving
Deepest aspiration: Overcoming challenges
Growth opportunity: Staying positive and motivated
Creative partner: The Luminary

The full description of "The Regenerator" can be found here.

I Retook the Sorting Hat Quiz. Now I'm a Ravenpuff.


I took the Harry Potter sorting hat quiz in 2024 and got Hufflepuff as my core, which felt about right at the time. Loyal, steady, generally trying to be a decent human being who doesn't make life harder for others.

Then I retook it this year (2026).
And somehow… I'm Ravenclaw now.

For the record (because of course I tracked it), across THREE quizzes, the pattern was… consistent:

Ravenclaw: Clearly dominant
Hufflepuff: Still present
Gryffindor & Slytherin: There, but not running the show

Which, honestly, feels accurate.


So yes, I'm "owning the bird"!


So, I'm a Ravenclaw now.
The bird. The thinking.
The quiet need to understand how things work before I agree with them.

No, I'm not suddenly quoting obscure facts for fun. But, I will:

- mentally reorganise your sentence structure
- question your logic (silently, most of the time)
- and try to find a cleaner way to say something

It's just how my brain works now.

What might really be happening

(using the biological lens)


Perimenopause isn't just physical; it often comes with subtle cognitive and emotional shifts:

- Lower tolerance for nonsense
- Clearer prioritisation (what matters vs what doesn't)
- Less people-pleasing, more self-trust
- More reflective thinking (pattern-seeing, connecting dots)

This combination does look a lot like Ravenclaw traits emerging more strongly.

Apparently there's also a name for this combination: Ravenpuff



A thinking-first, people-aware hybrid.

I once came across a line that described it quite well:

 

"A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination."

I wish Ravenpuff sounded as cool as that sentence, but I'll take it.

As a Ravenpuff...


I have significantly less patience for things that don't quite make sense.

- Less tolerance for overcomplication
- Less interest in explaining myself five different ways just to soften the message
- More trust in my own judgement

I did have a moment where I thought, "Am I becoming too self-centred?"

But no. I think I've just upgraded from:

“let me adjust for everyone”
to
“let me make sure this actually makes sense first.”

It's not a dramatic change. Just… a clearer one.

Final thoughts (nothing too deep, I promise)


Maybe nothing really changed.


Maybe this part of me was always there, just quieter before.


Or maybe this is just what happens when you start trusting how you think a little more, and stop second-guessing it.


Either way, I guess I'm a Ravenpuff hybrid now.


And honestly?


It fits.

How an Ambivert Like Me Enjoys a Beach Holiday at Club Med Cherating


What's an Ambivert?

 
I took this quiz: Introvert, Extrovert, Ambivert Quiz. The scoring goes like this:
 
0-59 - Introvert
120-180 - Extrovert
60-119 - Ambivert
 
My score is 70. So, I'm an Ambivert. I'm somewhere in the middle of the spectrum and display characteristics of both an introvert and extrovert such as likely to be more flexible - can adapt to different social situations; feel comfortable in different social settings, but also enjoy time alone; know when to talk and when to listen; and ambiverts are usually well-balanced people who can wear many different hats and be successful at it.
 

So, how does an Ambivert like me enjoy a beach holiday at Club Med Cherating?
 
The key to have fulfilling experiences during a beach holiday is to find the perfect balance between partying and embracing solitude and self care.
 

#1 - Take time to explore the grounds

 
For me, when I just arrive at a resort, it's always a good idea to take some time to roam around and explore the grounds - architecture, pathways, etc. Take time to soak in all that serenity, calmness, and freedom of being away from work!



#2 - Capturing timeless moments on video


When I come across something delightful or memorable, I'll record those moments for my personal keepsake. Whether or not I choose to share them on social media right away is entirely optional.

 
 

#3 - Sunset contemplation

 
Watching the sunset skyline can be a mesmerizing and solitary way to end the day.
 

 

#4 - Exploring nature

 
Look what I found when I was roaming around the area. I saw bats, monitor lizards. Monkeys too actually.


 

#5- Quiet reflection

 
Beaches offer a tranquil setting to reflect, meditate, or simply relax. No frills. Just the sun, breeze, and peace.


 

#6 - Solo beach walks

 
Strolling along the shoreline solo to enjoy the serene beauty of the beach and my own thoughts. 
 
 

#7 - Enjoying drinks at the bar

 
Need I say more? The main bar (Orchid Bar) at Club Med Cherating offers bottomless drinks - coffee, tea, mocktails, cocktails.

 #8 - Relaxing by the main poolside & Zen Pool

 
You just have to spend some time in the water.



#9 - Participate in the themed night celebrations

 
Club Med Cherating has themed nights with different dress codes every night after dinner. This is a fun way to participate in the night's theme.
 
When I was from Thursday to Sunday, we have the following themes.
 

Asian (Thursday)

 
Thursday featured an Asian-themed lion dance performance.
 

Black & Glow (Friday)

 
During the Black & Glow theme on Friday, we enjoyed a captivating neon lights performance, followed by a lively Glow Party on the dance floor. 
 

White & Jeans (Saturday)

 
The White & Jeans night on Saturday included the Music Factory show, followed by an evening of dancing to 80s and 90s hits.


 

#10 - Moonlight appreciation

 
Finally, after all that vibrant and lively festivities come to an end, there's nothing quite like a peaceful stroll back to your room beneath the moonlit sky.

 
In summary, anyone can make the most of a beach holiday by embracing the tranquility and opportunities for self-reflection that coastal settings offer, creating a restful and rejuvenating experience.

My Creative Type Quiz by Adobe Create

 


Discover your creative personality

 

Take this Creative Types quiz by Adobe Create to discover your creative personality.

 

There are 8 types of creative personalities according to the quiz, namely The Artist, The Thinker, The Adventurer, The Maker, The Producer, The Dreamer, The Innovator, The Visionary.


The Dreamer


From the banner above, you can see that my creative personality is The Dreamer.

 

Based on the explanation given by Adobe Create, as a Dreamer, I can connect to emotions and imagination, empathy and sensitivity. It also mentions that my untapped potential is to use dreams to fuel real-world action.


As a Dreamer, I see symbols, metaphors, and hidden meanings as opposed to facts and figures. Apparently I'm deeply emotional and intuitive, with a vivid imagination - the quintessential idealist and romantic. Hmmm... I'm not quite sure if I agree with the part that says I'm a romantic though.


My inner world is always where I feel most at home. Oh yes! I'm happy to roam my mental landscape of thoughts, emotions, and fantasies for hours on end.


Since my greatest gift is my depth of sensitivity and empathy, I can give voice to universal human emotions in a way that touches people on a profound level. Hmmm... but like how?


My greatest challenge is to learn to balance dreaming with disciplined action and this starts with coming back to the present moment. It mentions to let my mind roam free but don't forget to return to the present moment. The way to help me turn dreams into reality is by practicing mindfulness. Oh dear... mindfulness is a practice that I have been avoiding.


Ideal Collaborator: The Innovator


It's recommended that a Dreamer seeks out opportunities to collaborate with an Innovator who will combine my lofty idealism with a focus on pragmatic solutions. The Innovator has a grounding energy that can inspire me to apply imagination to real-world change.


Very interesting indeed!

 

What about yours?

Introvert, Extrovert or Ambivert?



I scored 39 points. So, I'm an Introvert with some Ambivert functions.

 
Introvert

While not necessarily shy, you prefer to spend a lot of your time alone to recharge your limited energy. Quite simply: people drain you, and you prefer your own inner world of thoughts and passions to the external world of people and events. As such, you tend to have few close friendships, and are very selective when it comes to relationships. You prefer to think before you act, and people describe you as being thoughtful, cautious, quiet, and introspective.

To summarize, these are some of your defining characteristics:
  • Private
  • Enjoys solitude
  • Energized alone
  • Has a rich internal world
  • Thinks before speaking and acting
  • Prefers a few intimate friends
  • Doesn't enjoy loud, sociable situations
  • Independent

 
Ambivert

As a fairly equanimous person, you display both introverted and extroverted characteristics. While on some days you like being surrounded by many people, on others you prefer to relax on your own and take some time out. As such, you can easily relate to both extremes on the personality spectrum, and have an easier time delving in and out of the internal and external worlds. This may lead to feelings of confusion as many times you feel like a "walking contradiction", feeling one thing one moment, and another thing the next. Your friendship circle tends to consist of 3, 4, or 5 people.

To summarize, these are some of your defining characteristics:
  • Equanimous
  • Enjoys socializing, but also being alone at times
  • Behavioral decisions usually rely on "how one feels", or the context of the situation
  • Usually has a small group of friends
  • Flexible
  • Changeable
  • Ability to appreciate both inner and outer worlds
  • Easygoing

Mama & baby quizzes


Mama quizzes 

1. What's Your Mom Personality? 

Result: You're an Attachment Mama.

You're up on the latest recommendations from Dr. Sears, and enjoy snuggling with your baby in the family bed. You're a firm believer in baby wearing, and quickly react to your baby's cues so he always feel secure.


2. Which TV Mom Are You? 

Result: You're a modern yet sensible mom. You keep up with trends you feel like following, and ignore the rest (platform shoes? don't think so!).

Often, you're the most rational head in the family - including your partner! And when all hell breaks loose, you know exactly how to cut through the nonsense. Still, you're not a killjoy - you encourage your kids to have fun. But they definitely know who's boss.

The Bottom Line: Your parenting style is based on open communication, discipline, and reasoning.


3. What's Your Mothering Style 

Result: Your type is: ISFJ - The "Tender Loving Care" Mother.

"I want my children to feel they have an ally, someone who knows them completely. I want to be a haven for them."

Gentle and kind, the ISFJ mother provides her children with generous amounts of tenderness, affection, and the comfort of daily routine. Her aim is to "be there" for her children, physically and emotionally. She is sensitive to their feelings, offering closeness, understanding, and quiet support.

Loyal and devoted, the ISFJ mother has a strong sense of duty and consistently puts her children's needs first. She delights in taking care of the little things that matter to a child, making each one feel loved and special.

To provide her family with security and warmth, the ISFJ mother tends to the practical and domestic, aiming for a smooth-running household and an attractive home. She also observes and conveys the value and importance of family traditions.


Baby quizzes

1. Baby's Personality Quiz 

Results: He will be very intelligent. Although he is very bright, his shy nature may keep him from reaching his full potential. He is conservative and reserved. You can anticipate a very organized person. In fact, his need for organization is borderline compulsive. He will be the type of person that can't put things off until tomorrow because it will drive him crazy.

In school, if he is given a group project he will slowly take over the project. He doesn't like things to be done incorrectly and if he can't have it done his way he will get frustrated. He doesn't like to be criticized and he has a bit of a superiority complex. If he is angry with you, you will never know. He keeps things to himself but may be secretly vindictive.

He will most likely go to college. He will pursue a job that makes him feel important. He is a hard worker but he may be slow at getting his job done because of his need to check and recheck his work. He may choose a career in electronics, engineering, accounting, aviation, or pharmacology.


2. What's Your Baby's Personality? 

Results: Your baby is: Fickle Frankie.

Today, he wants to be held all day. Tomorrow, he'll cry if you even try to pick him up. What worked yesterday does nothing today; that's the way of the fickle baby. "Sometimes sweet, sometimes sour, always cute" could be his motto. There's nothing wrong with knowing what you want, even if what you want changes by the minute.

The good news is, he'll learn to speak soon enough so he can give you a head's up. The bad news: You're going to fly by the seat of your pants until then. Hang in there, mama!

Decoding baby's cry


I took this quiz - Cry Decoder: What's your baby trying to tell you? and scored 6 out of 6 points.

1. Your baby's cry is repetitive, loud, and just gets louder. It eventually sounds frantic. 


Your baby is trying to tell you:
a. I'm gassy.
b. I'm hungry. (Correct!)
c. I'm ready for a nap.
d. I need some cuddling.

"Your baby's hunger cries are repetitive and don't let up until he gets what he wants – the breast or a bottle. Then they'll stop completely," says Seattle pediatrician Wendy Sue Swanson. "Parents get to know what this cry sounds like pretty quick."

Sometimes babies get so worked up in their cries of hunger that when they begin to nurse or take a bottle, they take in too much air. This can lead to gas and even more crying. As you learn to recognize your baby's "hungry" cry, you can start your feedings before your baby gets too agitated.

Other clues your baby may be giving you: Smacking his lips, rooting (a newborn reflex that causes babies to turn their head toward your hand when you stroke their cheek), and putting his hands to his mouth. 


2. Shortly after eating, your baby lets out piercing, intense cries. 

Your baby is trying to tell you:
a. I'm ready for my post-meal nap.
b. I'm still hungry.
c. I need to be burped. (Correct!)
d. I need a new diaper.

Loud fussing right after feeding is often tied to tummy pain, which can make your baby miserable until she works it out. Try burping your baby – giving small repeated pats on her back – to bring some relief. Just remember to keep a cloth handy for spit-up. Some parents prefer holding their baby against their chest or shoulder; others prefer sitting their baby upright and cradling their baby's chin with one hand and burping with the other.

Many parents also swear by over-the-counter anti-gas drops for babies. "There isn't much data to support their use, but there's no harm in using them as directed," says Swanson. Still it's a good idea to get your doctor's okay before using anti-gas drops for your baby.

Other clues your baby may be giving you: She's bringing her knees up to her chest. Try helping her eliminate the gas by laying her on her back, holding her feet, and moving her legs in a gentle bicycling motion. 


3. Your baby's cry is inconsistent and may alternate between laughter and fussing. Eventually it intensifies. 

Your baby is trying to tell you:
a. I'm starting to get hungry.
b. I need to be burped.
c. I need a new diaper.
d. I'm overstimulated. (Correct!)

Your baby is taking in the world around him – the lights, the noise, being passed from person to person. He may enjoy the stimulation, but it can start to be too much to process, which is why he sometimes alternates between laughing and crying. This behavior, followed by intensified crying, can be your baby's way of saying, "I've had enough."

Other clues your baby may be giving you: He turns his head away from stimulating sights and sounds. Many newborns enjoy the security of being swaddled when the world gets overwhelming. If your baby's too old for swaddling or doesn't like it, try retreating to a serene spot and letting your baby calm down for a while. 


4. Your baby's crying is fairly soft, and it starts and stops. You may be able to soothe your baby, but eventually the crying builds up to a steady jag. 

Your baby is trying to tell you:
a. I'm really tired and need to go to sleep. (Correct!)
b. I'm bored. Let's do something else.
c. I'm colicky.
d. I'm having tummy trouble.

Parents often overlook the sleepy cry when it comes at a time they don't expect their baby to be tired. "Some babies have sleepy days," says Swanson. "They may be growing or just extra tired." Even if your baby just had a nap an hour ago, if her cries aren't the piercing kind and she can be comforted for a little while, she may be telling you she's ready for a rest.

Other clues your baby may be giving you: She's rubbing her eyes, crying while her eyes start to close, and yawning.


5. Your baby's cry sounds unusual, different from any of the regular crying you're used to hearing.

Your baby's trying to tell you:
a. I'm starting to teethe.
b. I'm more tired than usual.
c. I don't feel well. (Correct!)
d. I need extra cuddles.

The cry of a sick baby tends to be distinct from one caused by hunger or frustration. If your baby's crying "just doesn't sound right," or if he is inconsolable and has been crying for several hours, trust your instincts and call your baby's doctor.

Other clues your baby may be giving you: He has a fever; he isn't hungry; he's difficult to wake up or put to sleep; he isn't going through his usual amount of diapers; or he just isn't behaving like his usual self.


6. You've tried every trick in the mommy book and you still can't stop your baby's strong, steady cries. And this is nothing new. The crying can happen every day and last for hours.

Your baby is trying to tell you:
a. I have colic. (Correct!)
b. I need more stimulation.
c. I'm hungry.
d. I'm overly tired.

Colic is a term used to describe excessive crying in an otherwise healthy baby. If your baby is younger than 5 months old and cries for more than three hours in a row on three or more days a week for at least three weeks, chances are he's colicky. Colic isn't a disease and won't cause your baby any long-term harm, but it's a tough thing for both you and your baby to go through.

Other clues your baby may be giving you: A baby with colic cries inconsolably and excessively, often at the same time of day, frequently in the late afternoon or evening. If your baby has colic, his belly may also look enlarged and he may alternately extend or pull up his legs and pass gas as he cries.

"These cries can be intense for babies as well as parents," says Swanson. "Remember that when you get tired or frustrated from your baby's cries, it's perfectly okay to put your baby down in a safe place and walk away for a few minutes to get a break."

The good news? It doesn't last forever. Colic tends to peak around 6 weeks, then improves significantly between 3 and 4 months. By 5 months, your baby should be past it.

Am I ready to be a mum?


Believe it or not, baby and I are now approaching 36 weeks!

There are a whole lot of changes going on during my pregnancy journey so far - both physiologically and psychologically.

Physiologically

You can learn more about physical changes from this infographic. But I'd like to summarize some major experiences throughout my journey so far:
  • First trimester (4-12 weeks): some food cravings; mild nausea; no vomiting; feeling tired but not lethargic; super excited!
  • Second trimester (13-27 weeks): some food cravings especially for butter, milk, and pasta; honeymoon period; no major physical discomfort; most people still can't detect that I'm pregnant especially before 24 weeks; love my baby's movements!
  • Third trimester (28-40 weeks): oh-my-god-I-need-more-sleep; I'm-a-peeing-goddess; minor aches here and there; baby moves until I feel like my belly's gonna burst; so funny watching my belly goes lopsided with either a knee or an elbow jutting out once in a while; anxious but excited!
Psychologically

Here's the major one: I FINALLY SHOP ONLINE!!! It's a big thing you know... because I don't really trust online shopping for as long as I'm still breathing. :P

To date, I frequent a few sites and I would say that Zalora Malaysia is one of my favorite online shopping destinations. ^_^

I have also taken an online test just for fun: Are you ready to be a mum?


Results say: You were born to be a mum!

LOL, do I have a choice? :P

Also, here's an article that makes me ponder about work-life balance for moms.

Baby's popping anytime after I have reached 37 weeks. Wish me luck! :D

Workology - I'm a Workhorse


According to Workology "Workplace Zodiac", there are eight types of work personalities: The General, The Workhorse, The Mediator, The Medic, The Artist, The Dreamer, The Cheerleader, and The Number Cruncher.

After reading their descriptions, I believe I'm a Workhorse.

  • Workhorses keep their heads down and eyes focused on getting the job done.
  • Workhorses need to receive clear direction and critical tasks from The General.
  • Workhorses deliver results on time, all the time - what more could a General want?
  • Workhorses work well with artists - even on the 78th revision, the workhorse is by the artist's side to get things done.
  • Workhorses need Mediators to clear hurdles to keep going without distraction.

My DISC personality test report


I took the online DISC personality test to determine my DISC type and personality profile.

The DISC factors - Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Compliance - are useful to predict our behavior towards others and the everyday things we do.

My results (as shown in the pie chart above):
72% Compliance; 12% Steadiness; 12% Dominance; 4% Influence

I'm comparatively high in Compliance. 

Here's a snippet about who I am: 

"You are conscientiousness, diligent and pay attention to detail. You constantly strive for accuracy and high standards. You have an inner drive to be systematic and precise in all that you do. You are a natural choice for work that requires attention to detail and accuracy."

Generally speaking, here are some traits and behaviors that describe people who are comparatively high in Compliance:
 
  • Usually peaceful and adaptable
  • Tend not to be aggressive
  • Tend to be cautious rather than impulsive
  • Avoid risk-taking
  • Act in a tactful, diplomatic way and strive for a stable, ordered life
  • Comfortable following procedures in both their personal and business life
  • Prefer sticking to methods that have proved successful in the past
  • Have a high acceptance of rules and regulations

Bingo! I'm a sucker for rules and regulations no matter how ridiculously monotonous they are. That's why I'm so compliant.
