Mooi, Marcus Ooi, mooiness

  1. Born in KL, Malaysia. Came to Perth when I was 14. Have been living here ever since.
  2. My father is 2nd generation peranakan. My mother is 1st generation Malaysian Chinese - her parents and grandparents were from China.
  3. I’m a Hokkien lang.
  4. My accents switch between Aussie-fied English and Malaysian depending on whom I speak to.
  5. I claim to speak English, Mandarin, Hokkien and Cantonese, and read a bit of Malay. But I’m really only fluent in English.
  6. I keep up my Mandarin and Cantonese by watching HK movies and Taiwanese TV on Chinese satellite TV. I keep up my Hokkien by speaking it with my relatives in Penang and my parents. I keep up with my Malay by being *in* Malaysia as much as I can - cultural immersion is the best way to learn a language. Which brings me to …
  7. I attempted to learn Japanese once because I was sorta seeing this Japanese girl. Nothing eventuate from that but hey, I got introduced to Japanese TV serials. F**k, they’re addictive.
  8. I have a brother who’s 5 years younger than me.
  9. He ran the restaurant which I started after being retrenched in 2001. I moped around for a year as a bum before deciding to do it. (sold 3rd May 2006)
  10. Geek at heart, I’m now back in IT since July 2004.
  11. I used to share a house with 4 Singaporean girls. Not anymore. They’ve all gone back.
  12. I love dogs. I used to have two but I had to put down my Alaskan Malamute in May 2005 due to old age - I miss him. I am left with the most hyper dog around - a Stafforshire Terrier cross called “Snoop”.
  13. I go back to mom’s cooking 5 nights a week. I got it good.
  14. I like clubbing to trance, house, drum-n-bass, breaks and R&B/Hip-hop.
  15. I like having quiet nights in with friends over a good bottle of wine and great conversation.
  16. I like looking at girls.
  17. I am addicted to TV.
  18. If I’m not out clubbing/socialising, eating at my parents’, playing with my dog, watching TV then I’m on the net.
  19. I blog.
  20. I search for free porn on the net. I’m single - give me a break!
  21. I drive a Skyline.
  22. I used to drive an Integra but I gave it to my brother.
  23. I love coffee from an espresso machine. I only drink instant if I mix it with Milo - home-made mocha!
  24. My breakfast for the past god-knows-how-many-years consists of: home-made mocha and crunchy peanut butter on toast.
  25. My favourite hawker food is Penang Fried Kway Teow. *drool*
  26. My second favourite hawker food is Kway Teow Tng.
  27. My favourite indulgent foods: pancakes with banana, lotsa butter and maple syrup; toasted spam sandwich with sunny-side up egg.
  28. Everytime I go back to Malaysia, I spend time in both KL and Penang.
  29. I graduated with B.Commerce and B.Engineering from UWA. I’m not using any of that stuff anymore. Well maybe bits of Commerce.
  30. If I can get paid to be in uni I would go back in an instant - social life is so much more easy and fun!
  31. I’m still in touch with friends from all stages in my life: primary/high school in KL, high school here and university. I’m lucky to be so blessed.
  32. I am turned off by girls who mind-f**ks. Luckily for me, I can spot a mind-f**ker right away.
  33. I’m also turned off by girls who asks you to call then act all unavailable. KNN!
  34. I once went out with a girl who’s 172cm tall. I’m 164cm. Ego boost, like Tom Cruise like that!
  35. I like beer, vodka, and Jack Daniel.

Erm….that’s it really. I’m simple. :)
