this may add on to your frustration but actually it can be quite fun- get out of the room game
if you just can't find the way out, you can give up and see the solution here

went out with susi for a nice swensens dinner to celebrate her last day of freedom last night.. couldn't help to smile as we discussed things that i did and thought of during cg on sunday.

i know myself.. one stubborn old fool.. i'm reading john ortberg's 'the life you've always wanted' again.. the first chapter just caught me.. disappointed means dis-appointing God. and never ever say 'i am what i am' cos there's hope in transformation. sigh.. i really need cheesecake.. eh i mean need God =p

32 doesn't seem good for an EQ result-

People in this range often find themselves blowing up at their co-workers, even their loved ones. They seem to have less 'buffer' for dealing with change, stress and difficulty. Some people also report depression or feeling 'lost' in life. Are you allowing the 'winds' of change to direct you - instead of setting your own course using an internal compass? Are you responding to life and its challenges with fear and insecurity rather than passion and purpose?
Emotional intelligence can be learned and improved - with big payoffs! Studies of entrepreneurs and employees at some of the world's top organizations, show that EQ counts for twice as much as IQ and technical skills combined in defining who will be a star. Improving EQ results in better relationships, greater health and a happier outlook on life! Areas to work on: Given that self-awareness is the foundation of EQ, you might want to start here on the road to higher EQ.
Ask yourself: - What situations generally create tension and stress for you? How are you handling these situations? - What negative thoughts play over and over in your mind on a regular basis? Are these a true picture of reality? - Are you afraid to share your needs and feelings with others? Is it because you are taking care of everyone else - being a martyr - or acting 'the strong, silent type'?
If we have trouble expressing our emotional needs - if we regularly put others needs before our own - there's a good chance that we will one day wake up feeling empty, hostile, or depressed. Don't let this happen to you! Take care of yourself! Express your key needs. It may be difficult at first - but research shows it will be a win-win. So move into the 'zone of discomfort' to express those needs and you will be rewarded for your hard work several times over! This is one of the key steps to building emotional intelligence. You'll be happier - and those around you will understand you better, and be grateful for the feedback.
Remember, if life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond, then we hold the power to create the lives we want!

hmmmm... 90%... that's a decision.
