25 facts about me

I got tagged by Tan Aisha and fellow rocker, Samuel.

Here are 25 random facts about me:-

1. I'd like to think of myself as being an easygoing person. Though it sounds kinda cheesy when you say that about yourself.

2. Some people might find it hard to believe but I'm actually quite shy and awkward at times. I'm an emotional (not emo) person as well. I'm kinda sensitive in a way that I'll tend to 'cry' especially when watching touching movies which really tug at your heartstrings.

3. I'm a Libran.

4. I was born in North London (near Tottenham) and spent the first 5 years of my life there before coming to Malaysia. I finally had the chance to visit London again in June 2006.

5. I suffer from hyperhidrosis and I sweat excessively most of the time.

6. I do fart a lot too.

7. I'm a mama's boy. I have a really close relationship with my mum and I used to share my problems with her occasionally.

8. I had my first crush on a gal when I was in Standard 5. I tried to impress her by playing some basketball (show-off!) and failed miserably. We went to different high schools after Standard 6 and she used to send me letters until we were in Form 3.

9. I have no idea why but many people especially gals dig my handwriting (P-E-R-A-S-A-N), though I'd like to think otherwise.

10. I got to know most of my close friends back in high school and we definitely shared some great memories back then. I am really lucky in a way that I have been blessed with great friends whom I can share my problems with and vice versa. I am a good listener but I suck when it comes to giving advice.

11. My favourite subjects back in high school were English, Geography and Modern Maths. I hated History with a passion.

12. I have a red belt in Taekwondo. I missed the over the top punishments, vigorous training, insane knuckle push-ups and getting badly beaten up by my close friend, V Shin. I stopped learning just before my SPM examination.

13. I worked as a part-time tuition teacher in a tuition centre last year and I taught Primary 3 and 4 English. I thought the kids were adorable and surprisingly, I found teaching to be quite interesting. Who knows, I could even pick up teaching again.

14. I can also be quite hot-tempered sometimes. Teaching primary students can be quite challenging to be honest. There was this student in my class last time who is extremely playful until one fine day I got so fed up and had to punish him by telling him to stand at the back of the class for one whole hour.

15. I am a music fan and I listen to all types of music but my favourite genre is R-O-C-K. I'm pretty much a rocker. I hate Techno though.

16. My favourite band is U2. I'm a big fan of those guys and I can't wait for their new album to come out soon.

17. I love playing the guitar. I have been playing for 4 years now but I feel that I still haven't got to know my 'wife' well enough.

18. I have even dreamt of busking on the streets of London though I believe most people will actually start throwing oranges and all kinds of stuff at me.

19. Prison Break, Grey's Anatomy and One Tree Hill are among my favourite TV shows. I love American Idol too.

20. I pretty much suck at Mandarin.

21. I tend to daydream sometimes by just lying on the bed, doing nothing.

22. I love my hometown, 'Ipoh'. Ipoh Mali! We have awesome food there, some say pretty gals as well ;)

23. I can't live without my hair wax.

24. I'd like to think that I'm blessed and favoured even in the midst of adversity and circumstances, knowing that Daddy God is ultimately in control and will love me despite my shortcomings and failures.

25. I am the beloved child of God.
