About me!

I suppose more of you will appreciate me blogging here rather than trying to tell you all the 'applications' I have tried so hard to sift out from the book of Colossians.

Hmm, but I think I will have MORE applications from ANOTHER week of reading the SAME book right? So let me entertain you with 5 things that I THINK you don't know about me. :P

1. When I was young, I wanted to switch jobs every month so that I get the chance to try everything out.
- This is one trait that is really typical of me. Hmm, if you know me well enough, I am almost always interested in learning and attending all sorts of things and workshops. If I had my life to live over, I would want to be a genius. So, that is probably THE regret that I have in my life...not being a genius. Hahahaha. :) Nevermind, I'm still dearly loved...but I really have this 'grace of all trades' streak in me.

2. I used to love this edu-cartoon called "十 万 个 为 什 么"
- So much so I stayed back for Chinese Remedial classes even though I didnt need to catch it. (Teacher showed it) It is a really educational show okie!?!

3. I went in to a neighbourhood police post to 'report' a case when I was in Primary 4.
- To report a guy loitering around my block. Well, on hindsight, and to be really fair, that was actually the first time I saw him hanging around. He was probably waiting for a friend or what. But well, too bad, I was on an ultra-paranoid mode when I was in Primary 4 due to some not-so-nice experiences that happened to me. The good things that came out of that 'reporting' session? The person never appeared again (by the way, I still remember what he was wearing that day) and I learnt a new english word -- "loitering" -- from your friendly neighbourhood police uncle.

4. Satellite Dish = Science Centre
- I have this strange association between a satellite dish and science centre. It's like, whenever there is a Satellite Dish, there is Science Centre. They come in a pair. I remember once in the car when I was young, I saw the satellite dish and said I wanted to go to Science Centre. And so my parents detoured and brought me to Science Centre. If I recalled correctly, is those satellite dishes along BKE. Okay, SC is not that far away but I guess my parents' bringing of me to the SC immediately really reinforced the fact that they are alongside each other.

5. I have an uncle who used to be a popular local comedian
- Not much to comment about him since I dont even think people remember him anymore. I saw him on National Day at the Clarke Quay bus stop. I looked at him because I stopped my car just beside that bus stop when the red light was on. He didnt seem to recognise me. The lights turned green, I drove away. So much have changed.

Okie, hope you know me slightly better through my history. I encourage all to share things with all too!

1. I share this same dream of wanting to try out many different jobs and i enjoy learning too :)

2. I also used to love "十 万 个 为 什 么" when i was still in pre-school. I had the tape and i'll just watch it all day over and over again! i really love to ask "why?" when i'm young. actually i still do :p

3. i got drunk on my 16th birthday. initially i felt "high" but later it got really terrible. all the side effects and stuff. i told myself, i'm never ever gonna get myself drunk again.

4. i used to love that PURPLE DINOSAUR when i was young. yep, it's barney - the love dinosaur :P
