I have been tagged by Color me crazy about "Ten things you may not want to know about me.".
Because of my clinical rotations, labs, paper and final exams. I have procrastinating about this tag until today.
But, I will write an original and hilarious piece, you probably will not forget it :)-
1. You probably do not want to sit next to me when watching a hilarious funny movie because I hit very hard on the person who sit next to me when I laughed and get too excited :)-. You can get bruised ! Oouch :)-
2. I fart a lot so you probably do not want to sit near me during lecture time or movies :)-.
3. If you read all the past experiences that I had, you probably would think I am a very strong woman, in fact, I am not. I cried before the actress cried in a sad movie :). A lot of my friends thought I was nut !!!
4. This one you really do not want to know. When I first went to Australia to study. I hard a difficult time adjusting life without my maid and my mom. I often forgot to do my laundry so I often wore my worn underwear the other side because I run out of underwear.
5. This is another hilarious one :). When I was in Melbourne doing my high school, I took Chinese as an extra credit. I had to go to Melbourne city every Saturday morning for my Chinese class. I lived in a place which was about 45minutes train drive and 15mins bus drive, so all in all, it's an hour journey. I hate to wake up early in the morning to put on my clothes because it's so cold in Melbourne's winter. So what I did was I wear my jeans, my shirt and my long coat to go to sleep. When the alarm rang, I just brushed my teeth and there I went.
6. I love man who is tall , dark and handsome, which my husband is not. He is median height, white and handsome :). I especially like men who has mustache :)-
7. I hate to drive. I have never drive in a highway before. Before I came to US, I had a driver, who drive me here and there. My ex boss recogned it's cheaper to hire a driver for me than had to pay for my car repair every month because I bumped into people car a lot. I don't have very good motor skill and I probably has some dexetory issue.
8. I have problem going to sleep if I don't read before I sleep. But once I sleep, I sleep like a log. When we were younger , my sister and I shared a room. We used to listen to late night song request. At that time, there's this D.J who my sister and I fancied :) (I couldnot even remember his name, might be if JT or Doris who read this blog entry might help me to recall, I think he hosted cool and swinging show, remember ?). Once we forgot to switch our transistor radio off and those days in Kuching, once after midnight, after the national song "Negaraku" finished, you will hear squeking sound 'eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...". My mother who slept next door to us was disturbed by the sound and could not go to sleep. Those days there were no AC lah, our windows were all open with mosquito nest :). Well, she called our name, screamed at us to open the window. Both of us slept like a log. Finally she poured a pale of water right onto my face. I slept right under the window. I thought it was raining and we had a flood so I wake up :).
9. I have no gift in languages. I did horribly in school for my Chinese and Malay.I think I have a sclerosis tongue which is hard to turn :)
10. I am very good most of the times but I can be very explosive when you stepped on my tail :):):). My mom said it's because I was the decendent of Borneo's head hunter tribe :). She got her history wrong. Melanau tribe is not head hunter tribe. I went on street demonstration when I was younger. I went to principal room to fight for issues that I felt very strongly. In short, I am hot blooded :)-
And this is a picture that I don't think you really want to see :). Taken at my baby shower party :)-
I hope I have done a good job for my friend, colormecrazy :)-
Ten things you may not want to know about me
Friday, June 29, 2007"The face behind the blog " Meme
Wednesday, June 27, 2007
I was tagged by Kuanhoong about "The face behind the blog" meme on June 23rd. Due to my exam, I was excused to do it later :)-.
Most people's blog do not have their personal photos. Often times, their readers wonder how do their bloggers look like. But that is not the case for me, you see my beautiful face all over my blog :)-. And I think by now you should have known that these photos were taken when I was younger, right ? :)- (catch cha).
I started blogging after I had a very unpleasant event with a Malaysian social network forum. I spend a lot of times in the forum and wrote a lot of articles on gold investment. After the unpleasant event, I thought to myself, why should I be writing free article for people ? and not being appreciated ? I might as well create my own site on gold / silver investment ? But at that time, I did not know how to go about doing it. A cyberfriend Casper introduced me to blog. I started blogging on gold/silver investment. I did not get as many comments as I like to. Then one fine day, I stumbled onto Wuching blog. I really like his blog because he wrote a lot of things about Melbourne, Australia and also posted a lot of pictures on Melbourne. I did my high school in Melbourne, Australia, so his blog brought back a lot of good memories.
One day coming home from a country drive, I decided to revive my personal blog "Seay's Kopitiam". I put more effort on my investment blog than my personal blog. However, as I started to pay more attention to my personal blog,I realized people like to read normal daily things than investment. I suppose our daily life kind of things are easier to relate to than say gold or silver mines.
Beside blogging, I am a full time housewife, a full time mom to a 4 years old ; and a full time student. I often wish I have 36hours a day :).
Investment is my 1st love (beside family etc), then come IT. IT have came a long way since my days. I did my Computer Science degree in Sydney University in the early 80's. 1 or 2 years later than Bill Gates and Paul Alen's era. I remembered using punch card to write our very first program. That is how old I am :)-. We were the very first few pioneers CS. graduates from Sydney University then. I was one of the first woman to manage a Japanese bank in Hong Kong for Malaysia Public bank. We wrote software program that run on big machine (Honeywell, IBM, etc). I have not even heard of internet until the early 90's. But I have came a long way with IT and internet. I met my husband through a Christian matching site. We corresponded for about 2 years before we decided to meet. It was a challenge for me because I have a very successful career in Brunei. I was managing 2 companies for a wealthy business man from Singapore. But, I have not regret a single bit. We have a very wonderful marriage the past 7 years. We have traveled to many places in the states the past 7 years. We have an active boy by the name of JJ - John Junior. We name him JJ because both of us could not come to an agreement of naming him so we named him after his dad and have his paternal grandmother family name as his middle name. I hope he will carry his name to John X. :):):)
I love my life in the US and love being an American. I like America because it is a place where the sky is the limit. I have always been a high achiever , so this America place really suit me fine :)-.
I often wonder if I have more testerone than woman hormones because I like a lot of things that men do. I like to read investment books more than fashion or celebrities magazine. I find it challenging to beat Warren Buffet's record of picking stocks :).
I can go on for another few pages, but I think I will leave it here for the moment. I hope you enjoy my beautiful photo which I took many years ago :). This is an e-age Cinderala story :)-
