Okie... Its always strange coming back to Singapore after being away for awhile. Its like nothing here has changed but you feel strangely detached from it all. But one thing good about this situation is that the team is closer after it all.

Reading the signs can be dangerous. Ask me why people don't make their moves and I'll show you the risks that we have to face. It may even cause a backward decline. And so I'm here today with decisions to make. I want more.. but I don't want to lose what I have.

So what have I been up to since I got back? Nothing much actually. Watching some of the DVDs that I bought from Bangkok... Wrote a new song (Comments?)... Played table tennis on Sunday (Albert is good!)... Went for Rachelle's farewell party... Had a good time there with all the games and sharing. Gonna miss her.

Here's some colorquiz I took... Some of it is true, some of it WAS true. Some are totally off the mark. But it makes an interesting read.

    Your Existing Situation
      Dissatisfied. The need to escape continued involvement with his present circumstances makes it imperative for him to find some solution.

    Your Stress Sources
      Unfulfilled hopes have led to uncertainty and apprehension. Needs to feel secure and to avoid any further disappointment, and fears being passed over or losing standings and prestige. Doubts that things will be any better in the future and this negative attitude leads him to make exaggerated demands and to refuse to make reasonable compromises.

    Your Restrained Characteristics
      Believes that he is not receiving his share--that he is neither properly understood or adequately appreciated. Feels that he is being compelled to conform, and close relationships leave him without any sense of emotional involvement.

      Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense. Sensitive and sentimental, but conceals this from all except those very close to him.

    Your Desired Objective
      Shelves his ambitions and forgoes his desire for prestige as he prefers to take things easily and indulge his longing for comfort and security.

    Your Actual Problem
      Disappointment and the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals have led to stress and anxiety. He wants congenial contact with others and scope for development, but feels that his relationships are empty and his progress impeded. He reacts with an intense and zealous activity designed to achieve his aims at all costs.
