Taggy Waggy!

Note : I've (finally) changed my background music to the new single from Madonna, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland : 4 minutes. One of my favourite Madonna songs to date.


I have a massive blogging task ahead of me, so I might as well get this out of the way. A TAG! THANKS LI HONG! And happy birthday :)


And happy birthday to Chong Ian too! Woot!

The rules:-

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.

2. List eight (8) random facts about yourself.

3. Tag eight people at the end of this post and list their names.

4. Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving them a comment on their blogs.

1. I show different people different sides of me.

A lot of my friends have different impressions of me - some think I'm authoritative, some think I'm meek, while some think I'm just plain weird. In different groups of people, I act differently. I even TALK and ACT differently.

For example, when I'm with "Settedici" I usually don't step up and lead. I tend to be the person on the side who goes along with the flow and the overall direction of the group. When I'm with "Starbucks" though, I tend to be a core player in the direction of the outing's events. With the Cempakans that I still enjoy going out with, everyone is equal so I have as much power as the next guy.

And I talk differently to different people. I can be snide to one, talk with Malaysian slang in full force to another, and talk with an accent to the last. There's no control switch, so no matter how hard I try, I cannot treat or interact with different groups of people the same. I don't even get a say in how I first interact with anyone - my body just decides it automatically for me. Oh well.

2. I eat tonnes but don't put on weight

I wasn't even going to put this in until my friend reminded me about it :) Yes, I eat a lot. I get hungry almost every hour and I don't like hunger so I fulfill it. Yet, I stay the same size! I can just imagine all the contestants of The Biggest Loser charging towards me at full force with pitch forks in hands.

It's not that I don't WANT to put on weight. I want to be at least 60kg! But sometimes when I look at myself in the mirror I think "What's wrong with being this size anyway?".

Okay la, that only happens when I wear clothes that make my face look a bit bigger than it really is, so don't worry.

3. Eventhough I love Starbucks, I rarely drink their coffee

This is because I usually have Caramel Hot Chocolate. And sorry Melbournians, but Max Brenners Italian Hot Chocolate cannot compare. Koko Black's Ice Chocolate only comes slightly up to par. Starbucks is still my favourite.

I prefer normal coffee that you get in hotels or homemade coffee over commercialised coffee or Cappuccino anyday.


4. Royal Blood?

According to my family tree, the first of my ancestors was the King of India, and after a while his descendants became the King's of Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Then somewhere along the line, one of the heirs to the throne got kidnapped by the Dutch when they invaded and after a while the British took over, so that was the end of that!

5. I like good music

If music is good, I'll take a listen, no matter what genre. While I do have preferences (pop, rock, pop rock, r&b) I still like any song that is good. I'm thankful for my objectivity in music because I think it transcends into various other areas of my life.


6. I don't think anyone is ugly

I've never met an ugly person! The only "ugly" people I've seen are those Africans on TV who have face eating tumours or something. In every single person I'm able to find some hint of "beauty" or something that appeals to me. There's always something special and unique about a person, and I find it : and that only covers the outer layer. When I delve inside their character and characteristics I always realise that beauty is really not skin deep.

7. I can't stay angry

It's really annoying that I can't stay mad at anyone. Sometimes you just want that rush of adrenalin coursing through your veins, the clenching of your first - and then suddenly it's ripped from you without warning, leaving an empty aching echo dimbly beating in your head. If someone were to throw my assignments out my window into the pool below, and then asked me to go out 5 minutes later my anger just dissipates and I agree.

Aaarh. Now I'm angry at myself! But since I'm also an irritably forgiving person, I forgive myself :)

8. I don't think I'm appreciated as much as I should be

I'm self sacrificing, patient, tolerant and I live to please my friends. I only have 2 or 3 who would go the same distance for me. In fact most don't think what I bring to the table is worth taking a second look at anyway.

I don't mind being a normal friend. But sometimes I wonder how no one appreciates the extent of heart I have for every single person I interact with. I genuinely care for every single person who crosses my part, and that worries me sometimes.

But after saying all that, I don't know why I AM saying all that when nothing has happened in ages for me to complain about. So strike that from memory until I'm emo or if I stomp over someone in the future :)

Omg. I should never blog at 3.20am again. I'm only blogging cause I'm too lazy to find my pillow and I'm worried about my Accounts assignment.
