20 Random Things about me
I have already been tagged by
kaze18 ,
erodite and
everyman_tales. Thanks for wanting to know more about me. :)
I'm a black hole for such tags so whoever is interested please go ahead and tell us more about yourself.
1. My height is 171 cm and my weight fluctuates between 61.5 and 63 kg.
2. Believe it or not, I'm an introvert. My MBTI tests taken 10 years apart give the same results. I am also very playful by nature, goofy and all.. and I guess this trait becomes easily misconstrued as being extroverted.
3. When I meet someone for the first time, I look the person straight in the eyes and extend my hand for a firm handshake. My smile is genuine. I may not be inclined to speak to the person afterwards (cf pt 2) but I feel it's just basic etiquette when I meet someone.
4. I believe in Rhonda Byrne's "The Secret".
5. I have been asked this several times. Now, once and for all, I DO NOT WEAR MAKEUP TO WORK!
6. I do not believe in luck. When I send my well wishes to people, I never say, "Good luck!". I rather not invest my beliefs in something as fleeting and random as "luck".
7. Ever since I was a kid, I stammered a lot when I speak. I have tried to overcome it for many years. Think I have become a little better, not entirely successful as yet though.
8. I believe in romance.
9. I am a 90's boy. I loved music and shows then more than I do now.
10. What William Shakespeare said, I wear it on my sleeve. "Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none".
11. I value my friends, but I also know who are the ones whom I cannot rely on when I need help (non-monetary). Yes, I do.
12. I discovered I have hearing problem in my left ear the second year in university. It was at a point of time when I was overwhelmed with school work. I had to show my audiometry results to my Japanese lecturer so I can be arranged to sit close to the speakers during my listening comprehension.
13. I struggle with the concept of monogamy almost on a daily basis.
14. I am not very direct about revealing my occupation. When asked what I do, I usually just say, "Oh, I'm in the service industry". Unless people probe more.
15. I cannot stand soggy food. Like curry drenched on rice. Just kill me there and then.
16. The 4 months I spent whilst on exchange in London's King's College is probably the most fulfilling time of my life. That was the first time I travelled so far away from home and was forced to be independent. Skipping classes to travel to Stockholm, Dublin, Amsterdam, Florence, Rome etc was also damn fun! :p
17. I can be quite touchie feelie with certain friends at times.
18. I like sweet wines. Port, muscat, ice wine...
19. I am long sighted for one eye and short sighted for the other. Yes, I'm weird.
20. I think I'm getting more and more vain. I occasionally have the tendency to compare my looks with my other male colleagues. I think I am insecure, probably.
Ok I have to stop here. I'm drained. Oh! Last one.
21. My previous locked post seemed to be grossly misinterpreted. Please read in between the lines. Thank you.
