Haven't been blogging for ages....but dear
ESTHER VOON &
KEE MAN tagged me, so here I am, writing this. You see, someone started this tagging game, whereby you've got no choice but to write 6 things about yourself. Esther got tagged, she tagged me and Kee Man, and Kee Man tagged me too. So, now I officially have to write like~ 12 things (6+6) about myself! Waaaahhhh!
What's the tagging game about, here are the ground rules:-List 6 weird things about yourself-find 6 friends to tag and state their names at the end of your blog post.-Once you've tagged someone, leave a comment to inform them that “you’ve been tagged!” in their comment section, point them to your blog post so that they'll read your post and the rules of this game.- Ask them to tag 6 other friends.Easy-peasy...? Yeah, right!
THE 12 WEIRD ASPECTS ARE:
#1: I DAYDREAM A LOT! It's a hobby I cultivated since~I was a baby! HAhaha! What are my dreams about? They’re sometimes little stories I churn in my head or little songs and tunes I can’t play or which I'm just too lazy pen down. And I love putting myself in the shoes of the characters in my stories. That's why I'm very absent minded most of the time. God knows how I managed to pass my exams all these while, especially when it's practically impossible for me to concentrate on a task for more than 15 minutes-- before my mind goes into fantasy mode. Thank God most exams nowadays are pretty okay, dump in a bit of common sense, analysis and whalla--a good mark! Haha!
#2: I SING IN MY SLEEP, OR WHEN I’M ALONE! People usually sleepwalk or talk in their sleep. But I sing. It has happened a few times, at least that’s what ppl tell me. Is that normal? Oh well. And no, I’m not good at it, I think. I just love to sing! But not your usual pop songs. I prefer the classics more although rock or pop are great stress relievers (Man, I love listening to JOSH GROBAN & ENYA!) People say my voice has a slight classical quality. Too bad I sing better when I’m alone or at night somehow. Maybe cos I get severe sore throats every morning. I don’t drink a lot of water, you see. A bad habit, which makes it hard for me to speak loudly. The soreness only disappears when it’s almost midnight. So sometimes I’ll sing softly to myself then. But despite the sore throats, I must find time for myself to sing at least once or twice a week, while washing my clothes, washing the car etc
#3: I ENJOY MAKING MONKEY AND PARROT NOISES! So the next time you hear “Ooohh Ooohh Ooohh, ahh ahh ahh!” or “arrrkkk! Polly wants a scone” (Polly’s a British parrot, you see), that’ll be me.
#4: I GET ‘HIGH’ AT NIGHT! Basically, I’m what you’ll call a night-person. I get tired and grouchy often during the day, but at night, it’s often a different story, provided that I get enough sleep the day before or when they’re no assignments. I get the best inspirations for my poetry & imaginations; make the best monkey and parrot noises; sing the best; write the best stuff (love writing scripts for plays when I have to); get into the craziest moods; and read the most stuff only during the night.
#5: I HAVE MATHEMATICAPHOBIASIS! Translated into laymen terms- it means an unusual apprehension towards anything to do with mathematics. It reached its peak when I was in Form 4 & Form 5, when I had to rush to the toilet on an average of 2-3 times each additional math lesson, to vomit because of severe migraines I would develop each time my Add math teacher entered the classroom. So naturally, I’ve failed Add math tests many times. Too bad! And I only started studying for it two weeks before my SPM, which was sheer torture. Thank god I did well for it. And thankfully, I did pretty well for my modern math tests then, which was surprising considering the only Math exercises I 'did' were the ones I copied from my friends. It’s such hard work to do Math exercises. All you have is a string of formulas and nothing but formulas. Once in a while I get the kick out of trying to figure out how the formulas come about since for me, calculating is a chore, but figuring things out are fun! But it didn’t work. Unlike the other subjects, they aren’t as easy to figure out. So, right now, I'm having a tough time this semester, particularly since many of the courses I’m taking now require calculations. And damn the statistics course! I hate SPSS (okay, even when I don’t have to calculate anything for it, there are still rows of numbers I see on the screen). My migraines are killing me! Sigh, so much for having a phobia for Mathematics.
#6: I LIKE TO EAT THE WEIRDEST STUFF! Yeah, these include special, one-of-a-kind, Victoria-an-made concoctions. So far I've made and eaten great stuff like orange+nestum+milk+milo shake (fruity squash delight), squashed watermelons+honey+milo (watermelon fantasia), honey dew rolled in egg omelet (dewy rolls), Sushi+cheese (Cheeshkesushi), cheesey milky sausage or luncheon meat omelet (omelet du-flomarge-another favourite), pasta or spaghetti cooked with milk and sausage(Victoria’s pasta delight-my all time favourite) and etc. They were ahhh~ heavenly! Hmmm…and I’ve always wanted to try out
sago worms. Heard that they’re pretty crunchy and juicy when deep fried. Wanna try it? WAHAHAHAHAH!
#7: I’M ADDICTED TO PILLOWS! But not your standard, buy-them-from-the-shops ones with artificial sponges on the insides, or state-of-the-art curved ones for better neck to head support. The ones I only like are the original DIY ones, the ones my Mum made for me since I was young, with those cottony stuff and lil' chunks of twigs in them-which I call ‘little twiggies’. I usually must have at least one of them around when I’m studying before exams, watching TV, eating, doing assignments and stuff, cos having them around somehow helps me to think! Weird huh! I must have one on my lap when I’m playing the piano or when I’m on the computer in my room or at home. And I enjoy spending hours on an end cuddling it, pinching it, squeezing it, kissing it to my heart's content (okay, that's gross I know). Worst still, I'll usually lug one around the house-to the kitchen, the dining room, the toilet, the sitting room. Ahhhh, pillows are my dearest friends! =)
#8: I CAN’T STAND HAVING LONG FINGERNAILS! I love seeing others with long ones that are just~ oh, so pretty! It’s a pity I can’t help but get the kick out of clipping my finger or toenails, sometimes till they bleed.
#9: I HAVE THE ABILITY TO CRY ONE MINUTE AND LAUGH LIKE CRAZY THE NEXT. Yeah, it's a 'skill' that comes so naturally for me. Not that I'm faking it..it's just that my emotions can swing erratically in yo-yo mode at times. One minute I'm gleefully laughing like a hyena, then if something triggers my emotions, I can go about sobbing like a milk-deprived baby the next. It's not so evident now, and I'm proud to say I've not been on it since the last 12 months or so of my life. Isn’t that great?
#10: I’D PLAY COMPUTER GAMES JUST BEFORE EXAMS AND WHILE DOING MY ASSIGNMENTS. That’s what I’ll do instead of studying—my ultimate de-stressing method. I loathe reading academic stuff and studying. So just a day prior to my exams or assignment due date, instead of studying for long hours, I’ll usually spend a few hours either dreaming or playing computer games. Sometimes, the tension gets so bad that I’ve to wait till 2-3 hours before the exams before I can start studying anything. The same goes for my assignments.
#11: I LOVE MAKING UP WORDS AS I GO ALONG. They’re usually words that describe my self conflicted condition and words that describe a person, place or activity—like UNIMASOPOTAMIA (my favourite), INSOMNIADREAMIONISIS, KOBUNGAYA (Kolej Bunga Raya), VICTOHISTERIAMANIASIS, Walkhopping method, laughsnorting, JINGGLE-Ing, AHBRACADABRA, etc etc….
#12: I OFTEN SKETCH FACES OF GIRLS, ARCHITECHTURAL LAYOUTS OF HOMES OR BUILDINGS & NONSENSICAL OBJECTS! My books are filled with them, I sketch them during lectures, while studying, or as I’m imagining things. I’m not a good artist I admit, since I’ve never bothered to upgrade my drawing skills. Tried to so-call ‘design’ my dream home, dream library and computer lab, dream pool etc on paper many times. It’s a pretty good diversion from the dull humdrums of daily life.
