25 random things

From Cheehui:

Once you’ve been tagged you have to write a note with 16 random things, shortcomings, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end choose 16 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. You have to tag the person who tagged you.
Note: have changed it to 25 haha. or 26.

1. I've had many injuries since young, including a minor head trauma when I hit the back of my head (which I suspect contributed to my faint childhood memories), a broken left arm, a cut near my right eye which required 12 stitches.

2.I've had a dog, turtles, terrapins and hamsters as pets. My dad brought home a bird and 2 rabbits which we turned away. We currently have 2 cats and fishes as pet

3.I've this weird habit of parking my car straight when I return home late. I'd get off the car, look at it from afar, then get back in the car to park it properly and repeat these steps until i get the car in the right place of the lot. Right place doesnt mean centre of the lot. There may be a van in front of the lot so I have to park my car slightly back, giving it allowance for maneuver. Same concept if there's a Lorry behind.

4.I was in chinese dance with Fan wenqing( Fann Wong's sister) back in primary school which I quit. I joined the chinese orchestra later in which I played the Er Hu and was a school team player for badminton, table tennis and mini tennis.

5.I actually wanted to be an animal trainer cos I love the dolphins and the sea creatures but I doubt I have the patience. See #25. But if given the chance, I'd try. I've held many different kind of jobs. Sales, food and beverages, you name it.

6.I was first in class in primary two and when I was in secondary four. Surprisingly.

7.I never passed my Arts. And I used to read alot. ( A late hobby picked up in the army) I miss and love reading

8.I was top in Home Economics (the one which u cook and sew).

9.I was a Lifesaver (commonly known as lifeguard) until my certifications expired. I have kayaking 1star,2star and open sea rescues certificates.

10.Sad to say, but happy to tell, I am a blue belt holder in Aikido.

11.Unfortunately for me, fortunately for everyone else, I don fancy any particular girl now.
I wish I could fancy someone. It'd be nice.

12.First drove a car when I was 13.

13.Started ironing my clothes myself when I was 13. Cooked the family meal for a couple of months when I was in primary school under the instructions of my mother through telephone for the first few times before I started cooking on my own.

14.I believe there's no real true or false, good or bad, normal or strange. Depending on the way you see things. Our perceptions determine if something is good or bad, which may be different from other's perspective. There are so many ways to see one thing! And because of this, my fren says I'm a politician. For giving politically right answers sometimes.

15. I SERIOUSLY don judge how my frens look. It's more of whether u're used to the person's look. They're faceless creatures to me as how they look don really concern me. I see their hearts. =)

16.I'm observant to things that don attract u. I think alot and I believe in quarreling constructively. So called constructive conflict in which through arguing, you splurt out theories and reasonings which you dono when you learnt from. But unfortunately, it is not easy.

17. I wish I have more time to spend with ALL my friends so i can know them better. My primary school friends especially, tho I have lost most contact despite them stayin jus a few blocks away. Its a shame. It'd be great to get together, talk about our intersting life stories/love stories.

18. I used to be afraid of girls when I was in secondary school til JC. I seriously believed in boy gal skinny skinny not clear..

19. I couldnt differentiate Malays from Indians until secondary 1 cos I've never interacted with them. All the kids in my primary school were ChINESE!

20.I started learning both riding and driving together, taking lessons concurrently which I eventually passed on first attempts

21. I have a 'not so good' sense of direction. I would not say it's poor. HAHAH!

22.I'm a good judge of people. But I'm trying my best not to judge anyone or assume anything.

23. I'm very easily contented and I have a soft spot for girls who can sa jiao. LOL

24.I'm impatient at times over little things and I hate boring routinised work which are repetitive and uncreative. It stupifys people and stifles creativity. ( I kinda don like the structured society/system/world build or set for us by previous humans or other people)

25. I have a super duper short attention span. I get bored easily. For example, I get bored after throwing the frisbee a couple of times. I can do short sprint and long runs. But after running for awhile, I would go on to do something else despite still being able to run. I fall asleep in ALL my classes.

26. An additional point. I thought of reliving my life.
I know precisely what I want and how I would live my life if I had the chance.

Next, I'd like to tag Cecilia, Iris, Alan, Sox and anyone else who is reading this. Just paste your link on the tagboard!
