5 Things You Don't Know About The Monster

When the day comes when you're delighted to see yourself getting tagged to do a meme of any sort, you know it's that time of the month ... when ideas have dried up, and there isn't too much happening as well.

Angeliu tagged me, and wants to know 5 things about me that is previously unknown. Hehe ... sure ... with glee ...


Since most other bloggers who've responded to this also wrote primarily about their childhood, or at least touch the subject of childhood, I'll stick to the same topics ...

Unknown Fact #1: On the last day on my first year in school, I actually had a fight with some Standard 6 kids. I don't remember much, but I and some other kids in my class bashed the heck out of the Standard 6 kids. Brooms, chairs, shoes, water ... we used just about everything against them. I also recall this totally mind numbing rotan session administered by mum after that. I actually don't know how this fact would benefit you readers, but I was asked to point out things you don't know about me, right ?

Unknown Fact #2: As a young child, I was the naughtiest thing you can find. I think I would've smacked the little version of me if I met him today. I was every kindergarden teacher's nightmare. I was always climbing and jumping from high places. Until this one day when I fell down head first from a 1 storey high train house, and had these massive swelling on the left temple of my head. I remember the swelling went on for at least a month. And ever since that day, my climbing days were over.

Unknown Fact #3: My parents always thought I wouldn't do very well in school. We couldn't really afford tuition, and unlike other parents, my parents could not help me with my homework. Then, one day, I turned up with straight 100's on my report card in Standard 2. My mum still keep that report card. =)

Unknown Fact #4: Once in my uni days, me and my pals got really drunk, and we all dared each other to do silly things. I was the only one who successfully carried out my dare. And my dare? To eat 8 large, juicy, Australian watermelon. I think that's when I started to get fat ... because of the expanded tummy I got. I remember going to the toilet very often that night.

Unknown Fact #5: I used to be the straightest, most naive, and trusting person you'd ever meet. I once got ffk'ed for bowling by a girl who claimed she had to see a dentist. And I once got ffk'ed again by another girl who was supposed to come watch the Phantom of the Opera, she claimed to have forgotten it all. I guess you can also read from this unknown fact, that girls like to ffk me. For the unititiated, ffk = fong fei kei = skip a date / no show at some appointment.

So, there you have it, 5 fun, albeit unknown facts about Moz. After you've read it, I hope you are closer to knowing me better. And I hope girls will stop ffk-ing me. It's no fun anymore !!! Pleaseeeeeeee ?

As for tagging, I'd like to just tag 2 persons:
(1) Applegal - haven't seen her do a meme before.
(2) Infectioner - Ipoh boy, tell me something I don't know !!!

30 Things You Don't Know About Moz: #3

I have a closet full of .....


But I don't drink a lot. I don't even drink a bit. Some of these have been in here for years, and it's still not finished !!! It's just about opportunity ... I have access to duty free quite often.

These ones that I like better I keep in the closet. The ones that are either expensive or have more bling bling bottles I use as decoration. Yes, I'm a bit chinaman, so sue me.

I don't smoke. I don't really shop. So, I just buy some of these (and another item to be revealed later ...) when I have too much time in duty free ... in any case, you might notice I have a particular liking for Kahlua, Bailey's and Vodka.

And no, I don't drink the stuff in that Thirsty Hippo container - that's not part of the collection - it just happens to be there to keep the clothes from getting fungus attack.

30 Things You Don't Know About Moz: #2

The next factoid that you really don't wanna note down about Moz is that I was a stamp collector.

And a pretty serious one too. I had pen pals from all over the world - because I want the stamps. I just to search the garbage near my piano class looking for stamps.

Unfortunately, the explosion of email meant most of my pen pals stopped writing, and there was the small matter of college and university, which was the last time I was really active in collecting stamps.

Why stamps? Don't ask me. But if Maria Sharapova approves, I think I'm not doing too badly. Definately better than collecting debts, which is something I've been getting good at recently.

Some of the ones I'm able to show ...

A mint sheet commemorating the German reunification. I have the First Day Cover and complete set as well.

Chinese folklores retold in Taiwanese stamps.

First Day cover commemorating the Installation of DYMM SPB Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Azlan Shah in 1989.

Even when I was young, I had a thing for pretty woman. Well, maybe not.

Had a number of German pen pals, which meant I had plenty of German stamps too.

One of the set of 1920 Czechoslovakia stamps. Notice the lack of perforation.

I just wish that I had more time to maybe go through again all the stamps I have, and all the memories of my stamp collecting day. Ms Sharapova, if you're interested in exchanging stamps, please do get in touch with me.

Updated Note: Early stamps did not have perforations - the holes punched into the stamp sheet to ease the separation of individual stamps, thus they had to be cut out.
