25 things..

tonnes of you tagged me..so i guess i’ll succumb and get it over and done with..

1) I was born with birthmarks on both legs..the one on the left is pretty obvious and stretches from my heel all the way up to my butt..the one on the right has pretty much been merged with my tan..

2) I used to stay in Changi Prison as a toddler since my father was a prison warden and had his quarters in the prison compound..it was a 3 or 4 storey building and everyone knew each other..

3) I was called Michael in Kindergarten because my teacher Ms Lim had difficulty pronouncing my full name..the name was given to me by George who was one of my best friends in class..why Michael..go figure..

4) I only went through 1 year of Kindergarten because i started school one year later than supposed..i used to think i was special..haa..

5) The only sport i did in primary school were 5-stones and the 2-lined version of zero point..i sucked at Inclined Flex Arm Hang..and i ran slower than a girl twice my size..

6) i reckon this is taking much longer than i had initially anticipated and it would seem that i have to travel to boon lay and back before i can actually finish this and go to work..hey..it is supposed to be a random thing right..

7) I was in NCC for 2 years in secondary school but hated it because the teacher in charge only paid attention to the boys who gave him trouble..hello..some attention here please!!

8) so i ditched NCC in sec 3 and  joined  the dance club..one of 2 boys in an all girls club..i got the attention i wanted and thus an attention seeker was born..

9) i used to have a crush on my best friend..he had a thing for my (then) gf’s best friend..he called her h2o..i called him h2o2..

10) i ditched said best friend in poly..and found many cute chinese guys to flirt with..i think h2o2 was the start of my lifelong curse of loving str8 men..

11) i had a str8 ‘bf’ in poly whose name is that of my current boi boi..Danson..i think we once freaked our lecturer out during class when we were standing around the lecturer and i had my arms around him..

12) my tanning days started at Sunset Bay..my brother Edmund who i was kinda into..was the one responsible for that..and i’ve loved tanning and the beach since..

13) in bmt..my PC used to call me J-Lo because he caught me dancing in the gym one night..

14) back track..i had my first beer and smoke in Bali back in Sec 3..with my parents..it was Bir Bintang..and their sole purpose is for me to try and be put off by it..little did they know..haa..

15) in brunei as a cadet..me and my team survived on the Asam Fruit for 2 full days cause we were too overconfident when we got to Mt Biang and finished all our food..thank god for Cpt Bonnie who taught me bout Asam..

16) i am about to reach Outram Park and I am still here typing this..when will i finish?!?!?

17) ok..one day later..in the train..i’m continuing this..bleah!

18) the biggest complaint i ever gotten from my trainees..my mood swings..go figure..haa..

19) i have been rollerblading since 1994..almost got my lifeguard certification in sec 3..and have been a bitch since the dawn of time..

20) i am currently reading Eckhart Tolle’s “A New Earth”..but the biggest impact a book ever had on me is definitely Dan Millman’s “Way Of The Peaceful Warrior” which I started reading in Primary 6..imagine..a pri 6 student reading a self help/philosophical book..how screwed up was i..haa..but that was the book that helped change me and make me the man i am today..

21) there are 2 guys i majorly love and they are my bestie (cue Omie..) and my buddy (cue Z..)..there are 2 other guys i really like and one is my BG boyfriend (cue Albert..) and silly nilly sally boy (cue Erwin..)..

22) i can’t believe i’m about to finish this post..i cant wait to so move on from this..this is really taking up my tie and brain cells..

23) for those of you who still do not know..i am left handed..but that applies to only 3 aspects of my life..writing..using chopsticks..and wanking..i shoot (with deadly accuracy i might add..) my M16s and SAR21s like a regular right hander..

24) the one song that goes over and over and over again in my phone right now is Josh Groban’s “You’re Still You”..there is just something slightly romantic and powerful  bout the song..

25) oooh..this one i like..quite a number of you are familiar with this but i just cant help writing it down..i can recite the first 20 elements of the periodic table in order..and usually would do so when i’m intoxicated just to prove that i’m still thinking straight..but the planets in our solar system still evades me..haa..ooh..i know the 7 colours of the rainbow in order too..i am such faggoty geek right..haa..
