re-reading all my blog posts since the inception of this blog. and i realised that i have changed alot, yet maybe not alot.
in terms of the use of language, i guess i can proudly say that i have improved vastly. reading my own posts written back in those sec school days even make myself cringe. i used way too much short forms (eg 'nw' for now, 'noe' for know, 'dis' for this etc) and '...' (when a simple full stop would suffice) which i guess was the 'in' thing back then. but now, i just felt that those were just an indication of poor english and immaturity.
and there was this period when i thought i had improved in terms of time management and handling school stuff. but looking at my past posts and my current state, i can't be so sure anymore :(
but oh well, i am definitely a more sociable person now, i think. and less grumpy. or maybe i just didn't have time to post all my troubles. and i'm sensible enough to know that not everything can be shared on my blog. heh. :P

about 4 years ago in september 2007, i did a personality disorder test. i did the test again today, and realised a few interesting changes. any here's the result:

surprisingly, i became more: paranoid, antisocial (when i thought that i had become better...), borderline, dependent and obsessive-compulsive.
and i always thought that antisocial-ness and dependent have some kind of correlation i.e. the more anti-social one is, the less dependent he/she will be. however, the new result kinda debunked this. i got more anti-social, yet i became more dependent. huh?
