1) I have three distinct scars and a line of needle holes on my body. One long scar on my left arm resulting from being cut by a broken fish tank back in primary school... the wound was infected... and the pus was quite bad. Heh. Second one resulted from a firecracker burn on my right hand. Third one's quite scary too - originated from sandfly bites and ended up leaving a slightly dented black mark on my right shin area. Then the long line of needle holes' from my combat medic course days... I'll get one every year still. Hoho. :P

2) I was the only student in my primary school to be given an A* for music because of my half past six experiements in playing out-of-repertoire tunes for the recorder test. One year I played to the tune of a local drama The Last Legendary Hero (zui hou yi ge da xia), also did the theme song of the Star Awards... and also 'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head'. Come to think of it... I wonder why my experiementations only stopped at that? So sad that I can't do the same with my guitar now... and I can't play the piano, which I really want to. Bleah.

3) I have been overweight throughout my primary school to junior college years, peaking at 90kg. I took karate but stopped when I entered upper primary... holding a green belt brown tip on paper. Other than that, I guess I was rather inactive as a boy... then I kept on buying random stuff from the canteen to eat... and so I ballooned and ballooned. Decided to do something about it in J2, tried the Atkins Diet and lost about 20kg in about 4 months just before the 'A' level papers... no joke. Didn't really decide to seriously maintain a healthy body until a year ago when I started exercising regularly.

4) I keep all the notes, cards, little gifts that people give me in a rather nice box that I got some christmasses ago. Though input has tremendously lessened through these years (which is perfectly normal), I still do get them in drips and draps... and I do appreciate every single one of them. :)

5) I heart japanese food, especially all the tempuras and sashimis. Fried salmon skin is a must at every japanese meal. The garlic fried rice's nice too. Not forgetting everything that comes with unagi and salmon sashimi... Hmm. :)

6) I have been surviving on the koka brand of instant noodles for the past many months. I just ate a bowl of it for dinner just now in fact. Extreme measures in making ends meet. Hope that the ends of my hair will stay put though. :|

7) I have carved out a running / jogging route that is pretty much exclusive to me - I don't think anyone else takes the same route - house, bt panjang plaza, teck whye road, scdf building, dunearn secondary school, hong kah primary, dazhong primary, lianhua primary (my primary school!!! hahahaha...), hillview, bt timah road, diary farm road, pending road, back home... estimated 8-10km.

8) I used to plan quite a number of surprises for quite a number of people... but I guess I'm running out of ideas and steam as well. Looks like age does catch up on you... Hahaha. But I don't mind if people keep on springing surprises on me though. ;P
