Truth Be Told: May 2008

"You can run but you can't hide."
I was once pulled into this 'You've been Tagged' Game, last year i think,
but i escaped as i just couldn't be bothered (Like wouldn't it be easier if it were to be a Q & A kinda thing?)
Yes, that's probably one of the most distinct character that most should have already known, can't be bothered.
As much as i didn't want this history to repeat itself, it just did.
All thanks awarded to Kak Rufi 'Goofy' who Tagged me. Pfft!
Why don't you ignore it again then? Well, i'm trying to change that bad habit of mine,
so i'll do this anyway. Hee.
But Kak, what do you already know or rather, how would i know whats not known to you?
Oh well alright...i'll just 'spit out' whats coming out out of this (though you should have known and/or will know more about me in the days/weeks/months/years to come, no?) =)
And another thing kak, as i read the 10 things about you, i discovered that we're like a carbon copy, ALMOST (except for thing #5 and #8) =)))))

So here goes......

1. FOOD is one of life's fulfilling PLEASURES

Some have labelled me as an 'unseasonal hungry ghost' coz i eat all the time. I don't follow the 3-meals-a-day regime but i eat as and when i wish. Me and dieting (though i've once thought of doing it) doesn't go along well. In a day, i can eat like 2 rice/noodle dish, pizza, chocolates, cakes, snacks.
Self admit, i'm a rubbish dumb. Unfinished food or leftovers from family members or friends, i'd simply lick them clean (literally lick the plates or bowls clean, when i'm at home). When i'm out with friends or family, stopping by at eateries is A MUST, very the wajib.
My appetite will grow even wilder when i'm not feeling well. Food intake will double the usual, seriously.
So to people who have got problems with this wild eating habit of mine or people who eats very little with reasons like "i'm on a diet" (but in actual fact you already look anorexic, dammit!) or "nak kene jage badan, kalau tak nanti org tak pandang kat kite" etc, sorry but we can't be friends.
A reminder to self though, overeating can be fatal!!!!!
*i'm munching on some wafer biscuit while typing* Keh!

2. W for Wanti, W for Weird (think i have loads to type for this.)

I have this thing for farting and burping LOUDLY. I come in 2nd in my family, after my eldest bro, for the loudest human gas emission (my gas tank is not as large as his, yet. heh!)
I can still remember vividly of this one incident that happened in sec. 4, if i'm not mistaken. Was in a cca lecture, a very serious one as it seemed, as everyone were so attentive (very unusual) and silent. So i got kinda uneasy and worried and as i've come to realise, i can't keep it in any longer and it went PRRRRROOOOOOOOT! Oh dear...heads turned, i grinned and few seconds later, laughters uproared, followed by "eeeeeeeeeeee wantiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, u're so grosssssssssss!!!!!" I'll be like "Hey!, don't tell me you've not done that before!"
One should never be threatened to let human nature takes its course. I was initially embarrassed but then again, i know no shame so waddahelllllll...
But in poly i don't remember of any such incident coz i think i managed to tahan or i covered the farting sound with a series of fake coughs.
Though if someone else farts in public and the smell is so pungent, i'll be like, "Wahlao! who the hell was that?????!!!!!"
Another thing that may be gross to you but not to me, is that i can get high just by digging my nose. Immersed in doing it till i'm satisfied.

I also love to push pushcarts or trolleys, to the extent of racing and drifting it. Whenever i accompanied mum for some groceries-shopping, i'll get the trolley even though mum only wants to buy a couple of items. And i'll start to dash off with the trolley, racing it through crowds etc. I did bump into others till they give that what-the-hell-are-you-doing-bitch kinda look, but i'll race off again after apologising.

I sleep in awkward positions. This is what i've been told coz i can never be aware of how i am when i'm asleep, can i? But a comment that got me giggling is that my sleeping position can be in a way like when someone jumped off from something of a great height, flat on the ground, face down, limbs sprawled all over or like when Superman is flying and cruising in the sky (streamlined position) etc.

My handwriting changes every few minutes. If i were to show you my collection of compositions or even my school notes, it'll be apparent.

I'm slow. My reactions to something will only be evident after quite some time. Like when others laughed at a joke, i'll only burst out a short laughter after the rest have stopped, something like that uh.
Also, i'll buy things that tend to be outdated over quite some time. For instance a handphone. I'll only be attracted to this particular model when the craze and hype has already subsided. It's cost-saving but it's also useless, in a way.

As you may have known, i'm a super lazy bum though i'm trying to do something about it, to change it that is......to be even more lazier. Kahhh! Ok no.
As human females, we can't run away from household chores, no? But we can hide, not for long though, yeah?
So at times, i can be super lazy to start doing them, no matter how hard or loud my mum screamed at me, i won't budge. And it once got so bad till she didn't talk to me for like what, 2 days? Heh. BUT when i somehow became super hardworking, don't let me see a teeny weeny speck of dust, NO WAY. Paranoia sets in.
I also tend to clean other parts of the house more often than i clean my own room.

This #2 thing can be neverending so moving on......................

3. Accident-Queen

Yes, i'm clumsy and can be unaware of surroundings which then causes me to lose my footing. So far, Alhamdulillah, i've not encountered any major accidents since i've started to drive but there has been many near-hit occassions.
I do have an experience in falling off a bicycle downhill at Upper Peirce Reservoir. (Kak Pija should know. Hehe.) Well, i guess it was my foolishness to act terror and hence, that accident. Went cycling with friends and Kak Pija during secondary school days and when it came to this steep downhill, leading to the Reservoir, i volunteered to go first. So was going downhill and moving against wind so fast that my visor cap flew off and i just had to turn back to look at it, to ensure that it doesn't go into the drain (the visor cap was a birthday gift), till i didn't realise a hump just ahead of me. By the time i noticed its existence, i've already gone over it fast, lost balance and weeeeewwww.......off i went like a stuntgirl, sliding and scraping skin, leaving awful scars till today. But Thank God there wasn't any oncoming vehicle coz if there was, and if it was speeding, i won't get this chance to play this Tagged Game.
Another falling incident happened as i was going down the stairs. I wasn't looking at where i was going and so when i thought i have completed my flight down the stairs, i actually have not. Thus, i rolled down the last few steps i missed. I was shaking after that but fortunately, nothing serious.
And oh, i just can't recall the number of times i crashed into people, stepped on their feet, hands hit at and brushed against people's body (sometimes at the most unwanted areas) etc.

4. My blood go on top quite frequently (This thing should actually be #3)

Uh huh. I get irritated ever-so easily. Even an itsy-bitsy issue can be a matter of life and death if the pleasant mood isn't there. In a minute, i can be laughing and joking around and in another, my face can turn black (not literally of course). And those whom i laughed with earlier will be like huh? or scratch head and then left me alone. But normally the temper is just temporary. Give me few minutes or sometimes a few hours and i'll be nice and all smiley back again. *BigGrinz*
Oh, beg to differ myself, i was mad at my Form Teacher for quite a long period (almost 2 years?) when i was in the upper secondary level. Reason was because, she didn't allow me to drop A Maths (but eventually, that subject wasn't reflected in the cert coz if it had been, there'll be a BIG FAT F9 glaring at me). I had my reasons but to her, it wasn't acceptable. So since i didn't get what i wanted, i totally switched off in A Maths lessons (though i was attentive during her E Maths lessons) and dozed off ever-so often, rebelled, advices went on deaf ears etc, that got me into detention. Speaking of detention (this could be actually be the next thing about me but i'll just lump it here anyway), a lot of things that i did brought me to it. Mum doesn't know. Gee!
Well, who hasn't been mischievous before, true? Amongst the many doings are, laughed out real loud with friends (accidental) during silent reading every morning, wet tissue papers and threw them up to stick on toilet ceilings, vandalised tables, punctuality wasn't my forte, shirt tucked out, wore anklets (really short socks that can't be seen by the naked eye once your shoe's on), and was just a bad role model as a prefect but i've got no idea why they appointed me as one of the student councillor after prefectorial board was changed.
Teachers can be so weird themselves.

5. Soft side within this tough exterior

This is true in every individual but i guess not many know that i cry a lot. Ok, maybe not cry but i tear a lot, not without any reason of course. I'm not mentally challenged, hope not insya'Allah. Even the Alvin & The Chipmunks movie got me teared when Dave realised that he missed those 3 munks dearly and was determined to get them back from the captivity of Uncle Ian.
To top that, i can shed tears just by looking at others tearing.
Call me cengeng or a crybaby, i don't give a damn. To sum up, i have a heart which has a combination of glass (fragile) and marshmallow (soft), that takes a comfortable spot in a body of a rock.(?)

6. Punching/ boxing someone is therapeutic

Can somebody buy me a punchingbag for my next birthday? Keh!
Those of you who are skeletal, skinny, petite, physically fragile etc can consider yourself lucky, not that being anorexic or fleshless is something to be proud of but lucky in a sense that you won't get punched by me. Punching someone i know till i'm satisfied helps to drown all negative emotions that i may have anytime, anywhere.

7. I crap a damn lot and talk indiscreetly

I admit that i make no sense when i talk most of the time like the stuffs that i say can be way out and beyond the main topic of conversation. Mum has always reminded me to watch what i say to others, especially to the elderly, coz she said that i tend to lepas cakap or main hembus je that at times i offended them or something.
Also, my comments can get a lil uncensored but as usual, i'll still be as innocent, not knowing why no one person can give a direct answer or respond.

8. Due to the above, i tend to be more of a dreamer & a listener now and not initiating conversations as much as i used to

Well, dreaming is good. Dreams do come true, so dream big. I'm sure you've heard of that before. So just like you Kak Goofy and some others out there, i tend to stray and get lost in my own world, not aware that someone is talking to me which then leads them to say, "I should've just talked to the wall." SO WHY DIDN'T YOU?! & JUST LEAVE ME ALONE AH? Garh~ But of course if it's necessary to speak, i sure will. And my ears make a pair of good listening ear. =))))

9. I can't stand the smell of coffee (to me it just smelt like a skunk's fart, it just stinks), thus i don't consume them. Nor do i drink hot drinks.

I'd rather drink the tap water if one were to serve me with coffee (includes moccha, latte and whatnots) or hot drinks. The case may be different if i were to be in a real cold country and that there's no other choices but to drink something hot. But in local context, only ICED DRINKS allowed ok.
Even during rainy season, i don't take in anything hot. I eat ice-cream or have an ice-kacang when it rains etc.
I was offered a job position as a Starbucks/Gloria Jean's barista but sorry people, NO FRIGGIN' WAYYYYY. But die-die if future hubby wants a cuppa, he either has to buy or make one himself or he has to buy me masks for me to wear while preparing his coffee.

10. Do you know that i fall in and out of love very easily?

HAHAHA! Who would have guessed ey? But that WAS the painful reality that i have to swallow. Lessons learnt. Enough said.

11. Animals are like my angels

Especially those in the cat family. Whenever i see stray cats, i just felt like bringing them all back home. If i were to have a million bucks, i'll make my own 'zoo' of cats, wild or tame. Am a sucker for furry animals and will never get sick of them but animals like fish or pigs etc won't have my second glance.

Oooops! Not that i'm full of myself or anything like that. It's just that another thing about me (#12), i don't really follow rules or guidelines that much. Hee.

But i'd rather people get to know more stuffs about me by being intimate with me, i mean, meeting up and spending time together? I believe we can only know THIS much about someone via social networking channels, and it's easy for judgments to form with only THAT much readily available information. We just gotta grab other opportunities to get up close and personal with that someone to understand him/her better.

Hmmmm, now who shall i pick to do this Tagged thing ey? I guess i shall choose those whom i guess will not do this game, so i won't have the hassle to visit their blogs to read what they've got to say about themselves. Haha kidding. Ok, i'm gonna tag...FASEHAH, IMZ aka HALIMAH, NADIAH, SAGGY TWIN and WENHUI. You ghurls are cool people and so i wanna know more about you, stuffs that i'm not aware of yet. So start burning your brain cells and type 10 things about yourself. The more facts about you the better though. Don't feel obligated k. If you feel like doing it, thanks toads-loads. If not, then don't. =)
