Chapter 1: When I was young...
1. I wanted to be someone who build houses. I think I was 8 or 9 years old at the time. The thought never surfaced again till much later in life
2. I thought that the indicator lights in the car were telling my dad when and in which direction to turn. Early premonition of the sat-nav.
3. I always thought that the people who did the big signs outside the commercial buildings could not spell because it always say " TO LET" instead of "TOILET"
4. I had ballet lessons for 4 years. I was very good at cartwheels and could do them single-handedly. I could even do splits.
5. I was not allowed to eat any ice cream or fruits for a while because of my asthmatic cough. A small piece of pear was a big bonus.
6. I picked out all the pieces of spring onions in my food because I was convinced its gross-ness it will poison me.
7. I never touched the steamed fish at dinners because it was scared of sinking my chopsticks into their carcass.
8. I played with barbie dolls, but I also played with Transformers, He-man, Centurions and MASK toys.
9. I pretend to fall asleep watching TV on the living room sofa, so my dad can carry me back to bed and I do not have to get up and walk.
10. I hated the smell of perfume, especially the extremely strong ones because I threw up once after standing close to an obasan with some on. Or should I say too much on.
