The 101 things about me...

Aha, it's been really a long time since i've last blogged. Yeah, and i'm 18 already. Call that old, or have i just crossed the gates of so-called 'childhood' life, being controlled by parents and all? Nah, i guess not. Being 18 doesn't grant you all the freedom. Well, since i will not be posting anything regularly for the time to come, i'll just put on this 'little' post over here which i will update - when i'm bored / when i have time / when i feel like it. ("p)

100 things you may not know about me:
1. I may seem quiet and reserved. True. I was, i wasn't and i am now. I was a bit shy (duh, better replace this with a better word) since i was a kid, but when i actually entered sbs, i got a bit loud (that's for form 4). Well, from form 5 onwards i was back to my usual quiet self, why, that's secret :p

2. I never like to eat in coffee shops alone. Because i do not converse well in chinese, and hence, i do not know how to order dishes. Pathetic, yeah i know.

3. Somehow it still appears that i depend 99%, okay make it 90% on my parents. As above, i don't know how to order foods etc etc.

4. I've been driving for like... 7 months, and i've never really tried refuelling myself. Ah, funny eh?

5. Acheived grade 8 for piano this year, and to be damn honest, i'm not up to that standard. I'm serious!

6. Life sux. That's my motto. Well, at least i think it does half of the time. Maybe in reality it doesn't, but i never feel contented in life.

7. When i was about 5 or 6 years old, i had this terrible cough which made me visit the lung specialist at least once every fortnight. Scary eh... the doc said it's asmatic cough. No idea about that.

8. I love shopping, but i know i have to be a lil considerate and not spend too much. So i don't shop much. HA!

9. Have always wanted to be a doctor since i was a kid. Dismissed that ambition after spm, and considering it yet again now (during sam).

10. I'm confused about religion. Born to a buddhist family, I've been exposed to christianity when i was a child, well, i prefer not to elaborate on this. I shall decide on my religion when i'm matured enough!

11. Happiest schooling life so far: form 4 sbs, was close to conrad and wen chin back then. And having pizzas at my place after school was simply great!

12. Had my braces on when i was 14, wore it for about 1 and the half years, and had it off at the end of form 3 / beginning of form 4. Supposed to put on my retainer since then, but i did not put it on when i'm supposed to.

13. Talking about guilt, i feel guilty easily. Even for the slightest mistakes.

14. Childhood books: peter and jane, enid blyton's, bookworm books. Teenage books: babysitter's club, ronald dahl's books. Current books: all sorts, mostly chick lits *wink*

15. Have had birthday parties at my house since i was small, up till form 1. My mom organises them. Sweet. Then on my 14th birthday, i celebrated with my friends in midvalley.

16. I would normally answer back when my parents scold and yell at me. That's when i couldn't control my temper (i'm bad tempered, so does my dad, and mom i guess). I don't want to you know, well, filial piety that is.

17. I used milk bottle till the age of 4. I know it's bit disgracing, but i'm not the only one!!

18. I hate conflicts between friends. I've witnessed my friends arguing before. And i was stuck in between. That sux.

19. I condemned teens who get involve in boy-girl relationships, until i was 14. When someone asked me out, i never hesitated to decline. Ironic.

20. I can't stand the cold. But yet i wish to stay in cold countries and enjoy the 4 seasons. Uh...

21. I used to collect pokemon figurines. And i still have them now. Oh yea, i have a huge collection of stamps and first day covers too.

22. I used to love power rangers when i was a kid.

23. I've been reading Beano since primary school. In case you've no idea what it is, beano is a famous uk comic.

24. I used to ask my parents this when i was little: "why does the moon follow us wherever we go?"

25. I didn't know how to differentiate the words 'borrow' and 'lend' and was frequently corrected by my mom last time. That was yearsss ago.

26. I didn't know what is left and right in chinese until last year. I was 17 back then. A chinese but white in the inside. Some say banana.

27. I have stage fright. And i'm no good in talking ie. public speaking, debate.

28. Best korean drama so far: Stairway to heaven. That's because it's the only drama that i've really watched. LOL! (okay i've watched a lot more since then)

29. Trust no one in this world.

30. I LOVE linkin park.

31. My first family dog is a beagle-dushund named Punky :) Next was a pomeranian spitz named Sweedy, then a pure breed wire-haired fox terrier named Foxy. Current dog's a hmm... i shall find out about it.

32. I couldn't stand and control laughing. Everytime i feel like giggling when the time's not right, i'll tell myself i mustn't, i mustn't. Suddenly i'll give a tiny snort and turn it into a cough. Okay, this is supposed to be a big secret.

33. Everytime a stranger talks to me or a motorcyclist rides past me while i'm walking i'll feel a little spasm of panic.

34. I'm always curious. Although i don't display it, i have to say that curiousity always niggles at me like a burr.

35. If you went through life examining the minute consequences of everything you were about to do, you'd end up so bloody paranoid you'd do nothing. That's ME!

36. I started learning piano when i was 5. During my childhood years i've attended various lessons which include art classes, mental arithmetic classes, memory teq etc.

37. I could still vividly remember that there was once i got the 12th position in class during primary 2 and was canned by my dad. When i grew up and realised that my brothers were not punished the same way i was, i kindda felt indignant, but in the end i didn't mind at all. At least that made me prioritize my studies :)

38. I hate people who act as if you don't exist. Hate people who are clinical in behaviour, and sterile in mannerism.

39. I cannot take foods that are too spicy.

40. The terrible cough i had when i was little really did freaked me out. I never dare drink cold drinks for the next few years.

41. I'm allergic to the antibiotic bactrim/septrim.

42. To rank the 3 sciences according to my interests: Biology, Chemistry, Physics.

43. I used to speak hakka to my grandmother last time, when i was about 5 - 7 years old. It's weird, but i seriously don't remember even a short sentence of the dialect now.

45. I have suppers almost everynight.

46. I used to have a pet hamster named sopoh.

47. Currently have 3 cats: stitch, tiny and mews and 1 dog: minnie (a dog named minnie huh?).

48. I once believed that puppets actually have their own lives and are able to move themselves. I was still small then.

49. I used to have a soft spot for severus snape. Guess it's because he seems interestingly mysterious. But not anymore. After he killed dumbledore.

50. I don't drink fizzy drinks. Couldn't take more than 3 sips at 1 go.

51. I wonder how some people can remain amazingly pencil thin and fit.

52. I hate it when ppl hang up the phone without saying a 'bye'.

53. The person i feel most comfortable/contented with at home is my brother, shawn. Yeah, ironic. We used to fight like cats and dogs when we were little.

54. I find everyday life an extreme bore. Maybe not everyday, but it's most of the days.

55. 2 remedies to eliminate sad thoughts: be crazy with friends and enjoy with family. They don't eliminate the thoughts actually, it's just a temporary effect.

58. Fort minor rox!!

59. You see the description right below the title of my blog (Perhaps it's the longing for a father...). It's not meant to be read literally. There's an ulterior meaning.

60. Some things in this world are meant to be untold. So are some of my secrets. Hey i don't like hiding stuff myself but revealling them might be a disaster.

63. Somehow i cannot tahan excessive chatting/sms language or internet jargons. eg. tomorrow - tomolo.

64. Had my blood withdrawed for the first time last friday! (7/10/05) That's for the hepatitis b check up. Didn't hurt as much as i thought it would though.

65. I get annoyed easily, yea i'm extremely sensitive. But 90% of the time i don't show it.

66. No matter how late i sleep i will never get dark rings around or saggy bags under my eyes. If i ever do, it shows that i'm severely deprived of sleep.

67. Was pick-pocketed today! (20/10/05) My nokia 3120...

68. Dreams are the opposite of reality.

69. I hate having to wake up and brood over whatever that's bothering me.

70. My REAL name according to my birth certificate is Chai Qijun, Debbi. And 'Qi' is NOT pronounced as 'Key' whereas 'jun' is NOT pronounced as 'june'.

71. When someone has several resemblance to me eg. owning the same things, i don't always call it a coincidence. I normally call the person a copy-cat. (despite the fact that i'm prone to be one myself)

72. Psttt... My innermost thoughts and secrets are not revealled here, of course. :-p

73. To be continued... Sabar eh edward dudu :D
