Man she’s gonna kill me for parading her pictures around like this. Ah f**k lah, she put it up on her blog one what. Public domain - fair game.

This is also a technique that I’ve learnt from the man himself - Mr. Miyagi. Pictures of chio-bu’s can only increase the traffic. We hope.

Anyways, here goes:

Born in KL. Came to Perth when I was 14. 5 years ago I shared a house with 4 Singaporean girls. Yeah 4!!! But all had bfs at the time. KNN. Still very shiok nonetheless. And 3 years ago I had a restaurant till last July (gave it to my brother and gone back to IT) where all (and I mean *all*) my waitresses were Singaporeans. Don’t ask me how, it wasn’t a conscious decision - it just happened. All their slangs and mannerisms rubbed off on me. So therefore…

I think I’m somewhere in between lah….but probably leaning more towards Mr. Miyagi because he’s more good looking. Not that I’m gay of course……not that there’s anything wrong with that.

But then I also have some Aussie-ness in me. I’m all jumbled up. If you go to my other blog (EDIT 4th July 2005 - no longer updated), you will see less “lahs” and what-not M’sian/S’porean slangs. Hmm, maybe I shall just use this blog whenever I feel like speaking non-proper English.

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.

No … that chio-bu is obviously not me but it got your attention right? She’s not my girlfriend. She’s not my wife. She’s someone else’s wife! *whinge* Actually, not married but engaged. Same diff. But seriously she has been a dear friend for ages and I like having my ego boosted from being associated with a hot chick.

Anyways….my more frequently updated blog is at MSN Spaces (EDIT 4th July 2005 - no longer updated). Why am I here then? I found out about Blogspot.com (@ Blogger.com) only after I’ve settled in at MSN Space and by then it was too late and I was too lazy to move. I created my profile here so that I can also leave snarky and hopefully enlightening comments on *your* Blogspot blogs (try saying that quickly).

If you can’t be bothered to check out my other blog, at least check out the ones that I go to, you heartless creatures:
