See Yourself As What Others See You

Another online test done, after seeing it on a friend's blog. I thought it is more like reading what I feel instead of seeing myself as others see me. But then, still true to certain limit.

You are very ambitious and because you seek and need recognition, you try in your own way to impress people and you want to be looked up to - to be both popular and admired. You feel that there is a gap which separates you from your fellow man, or woman as the case may be, but this anxiety is an unnecessary one. Keep on the way you are going and you may surprise yourself.

You seem to lack the energy of late to get up and go. Your objectives appear to be unattainable and no one seems to care. You feel lost, neglected and need some W.T.C. (Warm tender care).

You are a demanding egocentric and therefore quick to take offence. This attitude makes people feel somewhat inadequate when in your company and so it is no wonder that at times you feel alone and unwanted.

You are feeling trapped by the situation as it stands at this time and what is more, you feel powerless to remedy it. You are stressful, angry and disgruntled. You feel that everything that you try to do to change the situation is thwarted and your hopes and aspirations all seem to be receding into the ever distant future. You have reached the state where you now doubt whether your dreams will ever be achieved and this is not only causing mental stress but heartache. You need to get away from it all - you need to have time to think, to recuperate, to be able to make your own decisions.

You are trying to build up your own position and you resist all external influences. You insist that you are your own person and you will not tolerate any outside interference. Decisive and proud, you are true managerial material.

Turning of fate? Abandoning of passion?

I think for the past 14 years, any good friend who knows me well will link me to Gundam, for I had such a great passion for it and have probably the greatest collection(>1000 pieces) in Singapore. It's kind of an addiction, just like smoking, carrying on and on even when I know I need to stop. Gundam has become kind of a trademark with me, having been accompanying me for the past 1/2 of my whole lifetime so far.
Maybe it is time to grow up, time to face reality, to check reality($) against my collection. I have spent vast amount of my money collecting these pieces of plastic and metal, to a point I call myself cash-very-poor asset-very-rich. However, very disappointingly, most of these assets have not grown in value, and recently, even a fall in value due to the USD falling. My income is definately not sufficient to substain my current rate of collection, in fact, I'm in debt. So i guess it is time to sell off some of these depreciating assets and settle my debts. Actually have tried selling, but it seems like I will have to cut more to get cash.... what to do.... I think I should stop collecting, or maybe at least selective collecting from now.... too much boxes in my room, can't even walk properly, and definately no guests for the past few years.
It's time to change, wish me luck, and success.
