Eight Things About Myself
1. I like the idea of being organised but lack the will to follow through.
For example, I have a row of folders desperately crying out from their place on the shelf to be joined with the papers of my life that would fulfil their neatly be-labelled destinies - Housing Loan 1, Housing Loan 2, Property 1, Property 2, Credit Cards, Bank Accounts, etc.
Lying in growing stacks and bunches barely two feet from the shelf are several years' worth of said contents. All it would take is one afternoon and a force of will I’d much rather apply to my Warcraft dark elves.
2. I hate shopping for shoes.
I have brought shame upon my father’s house. For the past two months at least, I’ve been wearing broken shoes – the bottoms of both have huge splits in them and my feet go swimming when it rains. Eeee.
Then again, my father (and more importantly, my mother) doesn’t know, so I think the house can handle that shame.
3. I secretly like the colour red.
If you do too, don’t call me. Don’t buy me red things either, it’s supposed to be secret. Shhh.
4. I have a stuffed cow with a big soft nose who is the keeper of those of my heart's secrets that are so hopeless they can only be whispered when consciousness bleeds into darkness. She is infinitely patient and understands that my neck needs protection from vampires on nights when it’s just her and me.
5. I think I’m often two conscious thoughts away from collapsing into a screaming mess for no apparent reason.
6. Currently my theme song is this-
We keep falling into love
With no reason, no rhyme
We keep falling into love
’til our tired heart cries.
I don’t know you
And you don’t know me
Time has come to find
Different skies
The sun and the moon collide
One burning, one reflecting
One fired up in demon red
One pale and interesting
...
Time has come to find
A different sky,
A different place to shine
A different sky,
Without a reason why
Can’t tell is it heaven or hell
Can’t tell another lie
I can’t fool myself,
So I found myself
A different sky
The sky I choose
Is a myriad of ocean blues
And when I think of you
I like to think your sky is blue too
Fireworks and clouds have made us find
A different sky...
7. I will always, always wonder if and hope that her sky is blue too.
8. If I could have one hour with any one person in the world, it would be Emily Saliers. I would hold her hands in mine and thank her for giving me the strength when I was lost. Thank her for her words that gave wings to the cuckoos inside my heart, allowing them to fly away.

Oh, oh, oh, I just bought a red sports shirt on Sunday even though it's one size too big and there were other colours with the right size. ;P
What a wonderful theme song! I like! And no 7, awwww!
Hey derek! :)
Pssst...I like your shirt! ;)
Thank you, it's called Different Skies by All About Eve. From loooong ago...probably late 80s even.
And no. 7 isn't about Snowie. Heh. :S
#1: I totally get that. I've been thinking about clearing up and getting organised. But only thinking lah.
#2: OMG!
#4: I'm thinking... taxidermy.
my no.4 is a big smiley dog called totti who protects my ears from buzzing mozzies at night.
no. 1: you have corrupted me! i have a giant stack of filing too (not to mention unfiled income tax returns!)
no. 2: i'm SO going to tell your mum next time i see her...
no. 4: big-nosed cow's DA BEST!!! and there's nothing wrong with a cow having a big nose :)
if i ever win the lottery, you'll get no. 8, even if i have to fly her to you.
2. This would never happen to me. I have too many pairs of shoes. And a hole in one is like, such a wonderful excuse for me to buy another.
3. I genuinely don't have a preference for any particular colour. There are ugly blues and reds just as there are pretty browns and yellows. But I AM quite partial to orange.
7. Ex ah?
Stupid thing ate my comment. Grr.
weeshiong - #4 NOOOOOOAIIIEEEAAaaactually, she's oredi stuffedlah. THough the cotton filling could do with replenishing.
hedo - Totti, as in Francesco? Bet you'd rather have that one on you at night. ;)
snowie - Meh. A little contamination is good for you, ms. goody two (unbroken) shoes.
as for #8....awwww you DA BEST! Faster faster beli kuda.
jay - Wouldnt it be excellent if you could be a personal shopper? :)
I'm kinda getting fond of orange too...secretly. And speaking of shoes, I'm pretty partial to orange or red Crocs. You know, those clunky rubbery clown shoes?
As for #7, yes. http://tompok.blogspot.com/2005/08/in-another-life.html
GASP! Did Snowie miss no. 7?
no, snowie chose to keep silent about it :)
*wheeeeeeeeee*
I can relate with #1.
But I get sudden whims to put things into order and when that happens, it takes forever to sort out my accumulated mess... and then I get all obsessive about getting it done before I can get on with my life.
And #5 too.
*screams for no apparent reason*
I do this when I'm driving alone. ALOT.
I'm with number 1. I can never ever have the will to carry out the plans I make up... so at the end of it all, I just end up doing whatever I can possibly do.
