i'll just protect myself from now on

i've changed a lot
i think if i took this test (personaldna) 2 years ago my results would have been very different.
i've really changed a lot...not sure how true is the belowmentioned points to me. think it's about 80+++% accurate. haha.

You are an Architect.
Your preference for concrete, visually pleasing things, combined with your confidence and your respect for order make you an ARCHITECT.
You are logical and detail-oriented, which allows you to get things done efficiently.
You are quite sure of yourself, so that you tend to know the best ways of doing things.
Your eye for aesthetic beauty and style indicates that you know a lot about design.
Having a routine and sticking to it is important to you; you find comfort in tradition and familiarity.
Self-reliance is something in which you take great pride—you are confident and down to earth.
You have a basic faith in yourself in many areas of your life, allowing you to be self-assured when facing challenges.
You're not one to force your positions on a group, and you tend to be fair in evaluating different options.
You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.
You tend to believe that things happen for a reason, and that not everything is under our control.
If you want to be different:
Try moving beyond the things that you find comfortable—open yourself up to a broader range of experiences.
Question how much you know about things by imagining different possibilities.
How you relate to others:
You are Advocating
Being social, empathic, and understanding makes you ADVOCATING.
Some people find being around others exhausting—but not you! You are energized by spending time with friends, and you are good at meeting new people.
One of the reasons you enjoy conversation as much as you do is that you often learn about yourself while talking things out with a friend; you realize things about your own beliefs while discussing them with others.
You have insight into what others are thinking and feeling. This ability allows you to be happy for others, and to commiserate when something has gone wrong for them.
You are highly compassionate, and being conscious of how things affect those close to you leaves you cautious about trusting others too hastily.
Despite these reservations, you are open-minded when it comes to your worldview; you don't look to impose your ways on others.
Your sensitivity towards others' plights contributes to an understanding—both intellectual and emotional—of many different perspectives.
As someone who understands the complexities of the world around you, you are reluctant to pass judgements.
If you want to be different:
While it's important to think about others, don't forget to take some time for yourself, and occasionally to put yourself first.
Take some time to spend with a few close friends; although it's difficult to find people to trust, it's worth the effort.
When you have great ideas, it can be hard to relinquish control, but it can also feel good to take the pressure off and enjoy someone else leading the way.

this is oh-my-god week
1. OH MY GOD I'M CONFINED FOR TWO WEEKS!? AGAIN!?
a far cry from last year, when i stayed in camp for a record 18 days with my 1st batch. speaking of which, i think a couple are coming back to tekong as 2lts. would be nice to pull them over to zulu, to revive the old culture that is sorely lost.
2. OH MY GOD I AM MISSING 03/08 ZULU PLT 4!?
don't know why, when i walked around the empty bunks this week (the recruits had went out of bunk for something), i could feel the presence/absence of the previous batch of platoon 4: random people running along the corridors, people nua-ing half naked around the bunks.
omg i miss them, really. :X
3. OH MY GOD I LOST MY INTRANET ACCOUNT PASSWORD!?
like that how to apply for leave? everyone else who's ord-ing in november have planned their off/leave. except me. actually i really need to forecast it because of my tuition. and hopefully i can actually enrol on a jazz piano improvisation course (and maybe a drawing course) before i ord...
4. OH MY GOD I FINISHED DOING MY LAST REGIMENTAL DUTY!?
:) all smiles.
5. OH MY GOD I'M SO EFF-ING PISSED!?
ok, was pissed earlier. but now i'm like, pretty cool about it now although i'm not talking about it for a while. as the chinese saying goes, jia1 he2 wan4 shi4 xin1, hopefully things will blow past soon and will be good... :(
mad weeks ahead. good that with my off/leave, i'll be in camp for about 2-3 days per week after the confinement period.
oh, and congrats plt 4 *mysterious knowing wink*
cheerios...

end of hiatus...?
fast forward 2 weeks from the last entry, and here i am.
4th batch of recruits graduated already. my thoughts about the happenings of the batch are rather scattered now, not sure why. haha.
they're a nice bunch of people la, definitely. i think most of the other commanders would agree with that too. though they DISAPPOINTED me during the last week with their sheer uninterest in trying harder esp when they're about to pass out from bmt.
but at least they were generally quite good during the other 12 weeks. (almost) never late at all! report sick rate as low as an enhanced bmt batch! and opened up to talk more quite quickly, sooner than the 02/08. all we need is more peer pressure to excel. felt that they weren't pushing themselves to their limits at times.
overall a not bad batch though i had a bitter aftertaste :(
***
learnt some things from this batch. will definitely conduct bunk raids. hm.
and friendships/work relations are damn fragile and everchanging. wish friendships can be cemented and become stone. things aren't clear cut but luckily i think i've been "playing the game" of social relations rather well.
ok, i clarify what i just said. i never play with ties (hence the quotation marks). just that i work really hard to not get disliked by everyone (unless the person pisses me off really really badly).
it just isn't nice, really, to be in conflict with others who interact with you. like everytime i encounter a really angry or tense situation, i get really nervous and my hands feel really cold and start sweating. really! esp when i calculate exactly what to say. i suppose when u expect a certain reaction to something, you get quite fearful of the eventual outcome and that's why i get nervous?
it isn't a bad thing to work so as to not get into trouble right? of course not to the extent of sacrificing someone else's interests for it la. must try to compromise. if not, then i'll take sides. hm. so hard to be "right".
***
final batch! i hope i don't screw up. i feel the reluctance in me to do work but i'll have to do work anyways. lol.
