i just finished watching borgkingkong’s tribute video to pusat ehsan and man, was it a touching clip. it makes me feel like crap to know that there are individuals out there who need our help but i have been spending my money on shoes and clothes and more shoes. if each of us could donate $10 per month for the centre, it would be able to afford more staff, therefore offering a better programme for the special children.
i guess i now know where some of my ang pow money is going…
i’ve been tagged by nonnie. so, here it goes…
“Each player of this game starts out by giving 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.”
1. i secretly wish to be my cat, JJ.
2. i don’t use an umbrella even when it’s raining heavily, cos i believe i’d wake up the next day at least six inches shorter.
3. i’m both an extravert and an introvert that i sometimes confuse myself.
4. i’m at my most honest when i’m asleep. so ask away, people!
5. i’ve never dated a woman but my first crush was a girl when i was in primary 5.
6. i feel naked without painted nails.
and six people i’m tagging are: jazzmoney, emma29, fumikane, jewelle, jack, and monkeyfruit.
my bro checked my blog a few hours ago and told me that people have been leaving comments despite my three-week absence. it surprised – and touched – me as i’d thought most bloggers would have deleted me from their bookmarks by now. so, thanks people for sticking around while i went on a tv series-binge.
i recently discovered the reality tv show, “beauty and the geek”. what i find interesting about the show is how accurately it portrays the real world, or at least high school days. i was – and most likely still am – a mixture of geek, nerd and dork. while i wasn’t exactly a straight-A student, i was nonethelessly interested in learning enough to pass every year. i wasn’t invited to parties, and the popular kids probably thought i was the biggest loser in school. to say i’ve come a long way is a wishful thinking because at best, i get one party invite a year.
what probably went wrong in adolescence was my tendency of researching into a subject extensively, which inevitably turned it into an obsession. i would abandon socialising with my peers in favour of playing the piano 10 hours straight, for example. i would memorise the names of all infamous serial killers or the art of daydreaming when everyone my age was busy making friends. as a result, i have a total of 2 friends, while most people i know have cliques…
… which brings me back to the show. “beauty and the geek” has made me realise that if those extreme geeks, as i’d like to call them, can transform themselves, why not me? all i need now is to get two party invites this year, and i’d be sorted, right?
anyway, to those CNY celebrants, happy new year and have a great one too!
