Tag! You're it!
'This is what you are supposed to do - cut and paste if you decide to participate in the tagging game.. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things about themselves as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. After you do that, leave them each a comment letting them know you tagged them and to read your blog.'1)I have a split personality-when it comes to cleaniness that is. Sometimes i can be a total neat freak, going into a cleaning frenzy when the mood kicks in. i have shelves, containers and places for each and everything-i even have a basket for socks only. On the other hand, when laziness really sets in, i can even sleep with my bed full of books and notes(i.e. exam period), paper strewn on the floor, newspaper stacked one corner, even with dirty clothes lying around for days.
2)In case you haven't noticed, i seem to be lacking in height compared to my other comrades. I seem to be walking with giants, most notably Thevane at 1.86m, Dinie at 1.83m and Adeel at 1.85(?)m, towering over me by a full 20 centimeters. My lack of vertical length cannot be attributed to genes, my brothers at 18 and 15 years old are taller than me. It doesn't help that i have UK size 6 feet(can squeeze into 5) and hands that looks like a human's compared to a gorilla if put against another person - again Thevane, Dinie, Adeel. But i'm not complaining.
3)I have a habit of scratching myself irascibly sub-consciously at regular intervals or totally random moments, a phenomenon or idiosyncrasy rather, that is caused by my moderately severe atopic dermatitis(whats that? go read it up in an encyclopedia or medical journal, rather self-explanatory), a form of ezcema which worsen considerably during my JC years which is still a mystery. Triggers include seafood(shrimp, prawn, squid etc.), dust, heat, among others. It would cause the rash to flare up, causing the skin to redden and have a searing uncomtrollable itch. An analogy would be brushing lalang grass against your skin over and over again, plus ants scattering about- times 10. Due to this, i have unusually dry skin too, so do not be alarmed to see bits of dry skin on my clothes or scaly on my skin.The discolouration of my skin is due to the use of steroids, not those blood boosting or those hormone enhancing ones. This cream would alleviate the itch to an extent, and heals the wound faster by forcing the skin to reproduce and repair faster so a relapse would not have disastrous consequences. But as a result, it causes thinning of the epidermis and de-pigmentation.
4)I am claustrophobic-pasar malams, sales, concentrations of the human race and weekend orchard road crowds are a big no-no. I just hate the sensation of being packed in a sea of bodies, no room for personal movement, being bumped to and fro, plus if its hot and stuffy, it will lead to no. 3. I also have a fear of dirt, which includes grime, moss, dust, rubbish, contaminated water. This new-found fear was discovered while working part-time as a sales assistant at 7-11 and having to clean the various nooks and crannies of the store. I would repeatedly retch, and have shivers down my spine. However mud doesn't faze me, having bathed in it numerous times in soccer matches. Weird indeed.
5)Not exactly hyperactive, i get bored sitting around doing nothing. I would yawn and yawn and feel very sleepy. My mind must always be occupied, either the left or right side or else i would be able to concentrate on what i'm doing. Plus, i seem to get tired rather easily at times and able to sleep for long periods of time- 16-20 hours at a stretch, no problem. But i wake up still feeling tired.
6)I love veggies! At the very least vaccum them all off the plate. And i always finish every bit off food on my plate, a habit nurtured from young.
People to do: Adeel, Dinie, Fizah(i think for you 10 can ah?), Soupie, Syafiq, Venetia.
Sorry for being long winded. Sounds more like an autobiography.
