I just returned from the most wonderful trip to Bangkok. Sooo sleepy now, will write a post on the trip soon.

Not to brag......but I'm swimming in happiness this 2 weeks. We are keeping in touch via email, phone, instant chats and webcams. Also, he's going to Bangkok on a business trip today and I will join him for a holiday next weekend. I think it's going to be very fun! (Provided I don't bump into any of the other colleagues there.)

Workwise, we are finally wrapping up Project SX this 2 weeks and the late nights has finally come to a hiatus (until the next phase, that is).

eXpressive: 9/10
Practical: 4/10
Physical: 3/10
Giver: 4/10


You are a XSIT--Expressive Sentimental Intellectual Taker. This makes you a Hellcat.

Yowza, you are fiery to be with. You're dynamic and volatile and a living roller coaster. You're also very attractive and immaculately groomed, so your target sex gets drawn in like a moth. You love the attention and never get tired of it. At a party you command attention, but you're a lightweight with alcohol and if you drink too much there can be trouble.

Like an XSYT, you tend to over-analyze things, so the slightest comment or action from your significant other can send you into a tailspin. Conflict with you can be either very productive or very dangerous. You are incapable of lying -- you have no guile -- and if your partner can't handle the truth, that's his/her problem, not yours. You are explosive when you're upset, but when the smoke clears you are right back on track with no ill will.
(This is darn accurate!)

This is a highly effective way to resolve issues and keep them from brewing, but this can stun and hurt a partner with a more laid-back approach. You aren't angry later, but s/he might be. Make sure when you've gotten your satisfaction that your partner is satisfied as well!

You would never cheat. But combine your hot-blooded style with the fact that your partner is *attracted* to that style, and you've got a recipe for being cheated on. If you pair up with an X_YG (and that's not unlikely) you may get caught in his/her cycle of cheating. Make sure your partner feels appreciated and loved to balance out the fire of your approach to conflict.

If you're female, you're kind of like Evita or Teresa Heinz Kerry. I can't think of any famous men like this.

Of the 67333 people who have taken this quiz, 4.9 % are this type.

Thanks, you guys.

I'm closing a chapter of my life, one I've written for 7 years, to start a new one. It might or might not work out, but there's no point analysing too much.

Last Friday night, he shook 2nd Boss off by claiming that he has a dinner appointment with his Uncle (who really does live in Singapore, except that they do not have an appointment that night). Off we went on our date.....dinner and drinks. Suffice to say that sparks flew. (Don't think dirty, nothing happened.) After I got home from our date at 1:30am, we still chatted on the phone until 4:30am. Alas, he had to take the 10:20am flight home to Hong Kong.

He was sooooo sweet. That night, he sms me something which really touched me. However, this few days, one minute I feel like I'm on air, and yet the next minute, I can feel that subconsciously, I'm holding back. Perhaps for fear of getting hurt again.

But, I'm pleased to announce that he is no longer attached (to his ex, that is). That makes me feel less of a sinner. According to him, they had problems to begin with. 'Yeah right.' I can hear you guys saying that, but let it go.

The first good thing out of this, it strengthened my resolve to clean out Someone from my life. I deleted all his messages from my handphone, all 70 of them which I've kept for 2 years.

Alcoholic commented that I seem to go for all these complicated relationships. First, it was race/religion/parents issues and now, another long distance. Well, it's not as if I purposely seek them out. Sometimes, you just don't have a clue where your feelings will take you......

I attended Class 95 Movies by the Park at Fort Canning Hill last night, for the first time. The Class95 DJs entertained the crowd with programs and jokes before the movie started. Sitting on the grass, feeling the light breezes, lying on our backs and staring up the sky, surrounded by good friends enjoying their red wine and having good conversations, everything was surreal and wonderful. Everything but the movie, Wicker Park. That was horrendously boring. The only good part about it was its soundtrack.

Awwwww......he's so sweet. He was supposed to go back on Fri morning but extended the trip until Sat, just so he could have dinner with me on Fri. And this is at the expense of a shelling from his boss. I'm so touched.
