Anothe meme.

Catching up on more tags. This one by my sister, some time ago.

MEME. to fill in for your local neighbourhood loser.

INSTRUCTIONS :Copy this whole list into your journal. Bold the things that are true about you. Italic the things that you are unsure or partly true or wish was true. Whatever you don't bold is false.

THE QUIZ:

1) I miss somebody right now.

2) I don't watch much TV these days. – Actually, I don’t really watch much TV. Excluding NBA matches, of course.

3) I love olives. – Not really partial to olives, but I don’t hate them either.

4) I love sleeping. – Waste of time, really. I hate those moments when you have to blearily open your eyes and take in your surroundings.

5) I own lots of books. – My family reads quite a bit.

6) I wear glasses or contact lenses. – For a guy who aspires to look like John Lennon, my eyesight is actually pretty much near normal. I wear glasses to change the way I look, and on occasion, to make myself look silly. Which I do all the time, yes. Oh, whatever.

7) I love to play video games. – Used to is more like it. But then again, which ten-year old kid wouldn’t?

8) I've tried marijuana. – Lord knows about yours, but where I come from, they can hang you for having more than a little bit of the stuff. Malaysia is definitely not the place to do drugs.

9) I've watched porn movies. – To each his own, I suppose.

10) I have been in a threesome. – HAHA!

11) I have been the psycho-ex in a past relationship. – The compulsive, boastful, obsessive, indolent, jealousy-prone ex, maybe.

12) I believe honesty is usually the best policy. – Well, maybe.

13) I have acne free skin. – No, really. Those are. Um. Facial nipples? Okay, now that’s just disgusting.

14) I like and respect Al Sharpton. – Since almost everyone has no idea who or what Al Sharpton is, here you go:
“Alfred Charles "Al" Sharpton Jr. (born October 3, 1954) is a Pentecostal minister, a political activist, civil rights activist and film actor. Sharpton sought the Democratic Party nomination for President of the United States in 2004 but was seen as a perennial candidate.”

15) I curse frequently. – In college, especially among those young-blooded males, all standard exclamations and claimant confirmations are greeted with “…the Fuck?” to the extent where the word itself is slowly losing its hold on being a swearword.

16) I have changed a lot mentally over the last year. – We all change.

17) I have a hobby.

18) I've been told I have a nice butt. – Under construction? Oh ha ha you.

19) I carry my knife/razor everywhere with me. – Why bother? Back then everyone kept stealing everything from my pencilbox.

20) I'm really, really smart. – This sentence is an accident just waiting to happen.

21) I've broken someone's bones. – When I was but a little lad, my mother carried me and broke her thumb. Go ahead. Laugh.

22) I have a secret that I am ashamed to reveal. – I get the feeling that if someone asked me just the right question, I would break down and tell it.

23) I hate the rain. – Rain makes the grass grow, yes. But those of you who say you like the rain have probably never been jolted out of your sleep to rush down, brave pelting, freezing missiles of water, to collect bedraggled items of clothing and finally fanning them the whole afternoon in a vain attempt to get them to some semblance of what they were.

24) I'm paranoid at times. – Paranoia is my middle name, I’m afraid.

25) I would get plastic surgery if it were 100% safe, free of cost, and scar free. – Riight. I always get this “Igor!! It’s ALIIIVVEEE” notion.

26) I need money right now. – I am content.

27) I love sushi. – I like sushi side dishes. Not that sure about sushi, though.

28) I talk really, really fast. – Worse – I swallow my words. To the same effect.

29) I have fresh breath in the morning. – Show me a man who emboldens this and I’ll show you a neurotic narcissist.

30) I have semi-long hair. – I wish?

31) I have lost money in Las Vegas. – We have Genting, you know.

32) I have at least one brother and/or one sister. – Cool.

33) I was born in a country outside of the US. – I’m getting the feeling that the composer of this meme must have been a big fan of Al Sharpton.

34) I shave my legs. – No, I am not gay. And even if I was, I don’t think gay people shave them either.

35) I have a twin. – What for? I‘d just have another person to hate.

36) I have worn fake hair/nails/eyelashes in the past. – Everyone’s an actor, after all.

37) I couldn't survive without Caller ID. – Contrary to popular belief, I’ not THAT popular. Wah hah ha.

53) I love to shop. – I despise it with a passion…okay, maybe not. Only when it’s shopping for something useful. Like skulls! Hee hee.

54) I would rather shop than eat! – What a joke. I mean, even the malls have restaurants.

55) I would classify myself as ghetto.

56) I'm bourgie and have worn a sweater tied around my shoulders.

57) I'm obsessed with my xanga. – Xanga?? Was blocked in my college. So sad.

58) I don't hate anyone. – Except myself at times.

59) I'm a pretty good dancer. – Again on that ‘I wish was true' list.

60) I don't think Mike Tyson raped Desiree Washington. – I don’t know or particularly care about American lifestyle. I’ve been too jaded by television shows.

61) I'm completely embarrassed to be seen with my mother. – But sometimes mom is embarassed to be associated with me. Then again, it happens to everyone when I’m felling dapper. Haha.

72) I have changed a diaper before.

73) I've had the cops called on me before.

74) I bite my nails. – the edges of the nails.

75) I am a member of the Tom Green fan club. – You Americans. Always obsessing over your own opulence. For the record, Tom Green was an ex of Drew Barrymore, one of the trio in ‘Charlie’s Angels’.

76) I'm not allergic to anything. – I am.

77) I have a lot to learn. – Duh.

78) I have dated someone at least 10 years older or younger than me. – Oh come on. At my age, it would mean either a nine-year old date (Child pornography) or a twenty-nine year old. (no chance)

79) I plan on seeing Ice Cube's newest "Friday" movie. – Ice Cube is an African-American (surprise!) actor and rapper. The original “Friday” filem, directed by him in 1995, became a cult classic in the black community.

96) Halloween is awesome because you get free candy. – Halloween is about the only time when I do serious shopping.
Note: I ‘m not gothic, really. I just like skulls. It was an obsession that started when I was young and carried on. Don’t ask me why. Maybe it was an attempt to look cool. Only thing I know is that it’s stuck now.

97) I watch Spongebob Squarepants and I like it. – I hate most Nickelodeon-style cartoons. They scare me, with their blue noses and splayed teeth and pupilless eyes and colored tongues and nightmarish contortionst forms.

In a Fortnight.

Ah...time for that picture post I have been slogging on for so long.
(As a foreward, the captions describe the picture ABOVE them. ABOVE, I tell you.)

LAST DAY OF COLLEGE

After finishing one of our last practical sessions, in which absolutely nothing fruiful or educational was achieved, and enough glassware was broken to line the Carribean.

It wouldn't do Yinn Cher justice to not put up this one.

Natalie and a rare view of the well-behaved author.

And another delightful one. Just for the record, the one on my right is no.14, from the previous post. The other one's Hui Ann. A Penangite, if that makes any difference.

Then I got tired of smiling politely.

And reverted back to default mode.

Which continued all the way into the next class.

And finally culminated in some demons-from-nether-provinces look at Asia Cafe. It may be of some importance to the reader that the author was asked to bend his knees ever so slightly as so to appear shorter than his partner on the right. HA! HA! HA!

THE PROM (CAL GRADUATION BALL 2006)

Yinn Cher and the guy who's wearing one glove in the picture because he brought two left ones.

My lovely prom date and her not-so-lovely prom date.

Special mention: the class treasurer and unofficial class photographer.

Maybe I'm just popular.

And the surviving members of SMK Seafield who made it into Taylor's. Well done, guys. By the by, the Prom Queen is in the middle. NOT Zhao, you hopefuls. Kavitha! And they SAID that Seafield people didn't look good! Hah! And there's me, too! Maybe I look better when I cover my nose...barf buckets over there, please. Picture courtesy of v'vian t. (the white one).

REDANG TRIP

Lord knows just how we managed to take this picture, what with the strong winds and eddying current, and the fact that the boat could come around and smack us in the head anytime. And you have absolutely NO idea how salty seawater is until you take your first big gulp. Just do what I did - first you snorkel - without the breathing tube, of course - then swim against the wind. As you come up gasping for air, the first wave should smack you square in the face.Lovely blue water, though.

Sand doodling. I saw some lovely sandcastles - you wouldn't believe the complexities these kids can get up with. Too bad there was no camera. But there was one for this.

And my classmates just HAD to capture this hermit crab, which they called Sebastian and nourished with bread, grasshoppers and..um. Let's just say barley, shall we? And to all you animal activists out there, they put it into the sea again. I hope.

And that marked the end of one-and-a-half years together. (They caught the crab on the last day - gotta credit them for that). 'Till the next time we meet again, all you PM3 people.

P.S. - There have been speculations of a class alumni blog, and it does sound temmpting - but I need to know whether you all are interested or not. Mail me or something.

People personalities.

Sorrow.

Just finished watching episode 81 of BLEACH today.
Felt like the passing of an era.

Dominion and Memories.

And as all the SAM people finally evacuated to enjoy their fortnight-long holiday, I got the peace and quiet I had always longed for in the library. But suddenly it didn’t seem as nice as it did before.

Maybe it’s because Hui Xuan will never be coming back again. There seems to be a great void in the intelligence department since she left.

And now, at 10.30 in the morning, I am with Soo Han in the computer room.

Sigh. Nostalgia.

Mood of the day:

(Note: Dominion is the game Soo Han was playing. No, I don't understand it. Yes, I would love to. Sorry for the lack of a longer post or whatchamacallit)
