10 Random Facts About Me

The Virus has tagged me. And I have conceded to his demands. I’m not really a fan of these memes but hey, the dude’s a legend in his own right. Plus, he’s a genius. Hence, I accede. The objective is to list 10 weird / random facts / habits / goals about yourself.

1. My bed is a bunk. More popularly known as a “double deck”. I had my parents buy that for me even though nobody sleeps at the bottom bunk. I just like sleeping on an elevated platform. It’s a dream come true, I tell you. : )

2. I still watch cartoons. Thanks to having two kid sisters who adores Kim Possible, Winnie the Pooh and Sponge Bob Squarepants, I am now adept with the ways of Disney Channel and the philosophies of Nickelodeon. Truth be told, I prefer the good ol’ Road Runner, Yogi Bear and Looney Toons shows. But hey, with those princesses ruling all television sets in the house on weekends, who am I to object?

 
3. I can write and speak French. I studied French for 3 years back in college. But my language skills en francais are far from fluent. I doubt if a French 2^nd grader would even understand my incoherent mumblings of their native tongue. Pardonez-moi.

4. I have to eat at least 6 full meals a day. Yes, most of the time, with rice. But despite my diet, I am able to maintain a “fit” figure. You see, I have this lightning fast metabolism. My body just consumes everything I eat and doesn’t even bother to store unnecessary fat. Lots of people envy me for this. Believe me, it’s not easy as you think.

5. Just like any other kid in the late 80s and early 90s, I wanted to become an astronaut when I grow up. Now that I’m all grown up, I still want to be an astronaut. Never stop dreaming!!!

6. Contrary to popular belief that I intentionally had a scar done on my right eyebrow to make me look “cool”, it was actually from an accident that required a few stitches to heal. I fell down a flight of stairs when I was a seven years old. The wound was so big the doctors had to close it surgically. The affected eyebrow hairs never grew back.

7. I love history. I read history books as if they were the latest installment of Harry Potter. I love going to museums as much as I enjoy going to Enchanted Kingdom. And I love watching National Geographic Specials on historical issues as much as I love watching Heroes and CSI. Back in college, I would stay for hours in the library reading history books and the like. Nerd me. How I wish I could go back to Paris and roam the halls of the Louvre a few more times!

8. I’m a frustrated rockstar. I’ve always believed I can sing like Lifehouse or Nickelback or the Goo Goo Dolls. Nobody believes me still.

9. Even though I look angry most of the time, I’m not. (My eyebrows naturally meet hence I look angry and snobbish). I’m actually a friendly guy (says me) who enjoys conversations as much as any person who likes talking and listening.. May it be intellectual discussions or pointless blabberings. So if you see me walking around looking like I was about to punch someone’s lights out, please remind me to smile. Thanks!

10. I love coffee. (Don’t we all?) One of my future business endeavors has something to do with a drink-all-you-can coffee buffet. It will feature all sorts of coffee from different parts of the globe including some homemade caffeine concoctions. It will be awesome! 

I don’t tag. Everybody who reads this site knows that. I’m a rebel like that. : )
Sorry Virus.
