25 Random Things

by Eugene on 6 February, 2009

On Facebook, I got tagged by Jo-Ann Lee. So I guess I have to do this, lest some mysterious internet curse befalls me and I lose a finger, a toe, a few strands of black hair (I don’t mind losing the whites), get struck by lightning, and never find true love…

  1. This is my first time ever being tagged.
  2. I am a Toastmaster and I’m 1 speech away from earning my Advance Communicator Bronze (ACB)… and I haven’t completed that one speech in… oh… more than a year.
  3. I’m shy around strangers… though nobody believes me. Sigh…
  4. I am most creative when I’m in the right mood – last minute panic.
  5. I’m a mountain person, not a beach person. I love cool places. (The only reason to go to the beach is to catch a glimpse of the rare hot-babe in a bikini… sadly hot-babes don’t wear bikinis at the mountains…)
  6. People say I’m musically talented. I play the drums, piano, guitar, and bass fairly well.
  7. I consider myself a Jack-Of-All-Trades, master of SOME.
  8. I have a mutant-super-power – I can control my goose-bumps. (Yeah, I know… woohoo, right? I’d prefer flying, super-strength or time-travel anytime)
  9. I have problems saying NO to people. I don’t know how to do it nicely. Some people have a knack for it. When they say no, you feel like they are your best friend. When I say no, I make people feel like I’m their worst enemy.
  10. I don’t like doing things for free. I demand compensation. A Chocolate Sundae at McDs is fine. A Steak Dinner at a classy restaurant is better. Best is cash.
  11. I’m a computer geniu… ok… expert.
  12. I secretly believe I’m a Jenius.
  13. My friends hate playing Scrabble with me. (I win too often)
  14. I’m super-competitive. Anyone who’s my competitor, I consider my arch-nemesis. After the competition, we can be friends once more.
  15. Phew… This is hard… It’s taking longer than I thought. Must be the chicken I just ate.
  16. I like to write the date and time on everything I create. (ie. Notes on sheets of papers, Burned CDs & DVDs, etc.). I like knowing WHEN in time I created something if I bump into it again in the future. (So… this would be 06 February 2009, 14:49)
  17. I love good quality imported chocolate. Malaysian chocolate sucks. Unpatriotic, I know… but at least I speaketh the truth.
  18. I conquered Mount Kinabalu. (But kinda lost my certificate… so I have no proof)
  19. My family is more nomadic than most. I lived in 7 different homes in my lifetime.
  20. I have a B. Sc. in Food Technology and Bioprocessing from Universiti Malaysia Sabah.
  21. Over the phone, girls think my voice is sexy… Rawrrr… (Some guys have said that too, but let’s not ponder on that…)
  22. I look good in a suit.
  23. I’m hyper-curious. I like learning and reading up on a lot of things (hence my Jack-of-all-trade-”ness”)
  24. I don’t understand women. (And when I ask women about women, I get the impression they don’t understand women either… what a predicament)
  25. According to the Enneagram personality test, I’m Type Five (The Investigator) – perceptive, innovative, secretive, and isolated.
