#1 : chess was the only game i played well in school & i went on to represent the state. this....
....was the 1st of many to come.
#2 : i just love soya bean milk, an acquired taste from young. the wife makes fresh brew at least once a week...
.....& in between those days, i'll settle for the ...
packed drink.
#3 : i recently picked up doing sudoku puzzles.....
but i still have ABSOLUTELY no idea how to solve the ....
...#$&%@#! rubik's cube (& there's a whole family of them!!)
#4 : i love junk food & i always have a drawer-full.
i know it's bad for health yadda...yadda...but everything in moderation is OK, right??
#5 : i suck at art. i have no interest & zero talent. so, can you blame me for being outwardly pleased that this non-artistic gene skipped a generation when the boy showed some enthusiasm? he brought his colouring/drawing home today & proudly ....
.....stuck it on the fridge door.
#6: my cousins taught me to smoke (cigarettes, that is) during the long break after the 5th form exam. i stopped after i started coughing up yucky black (like tar) phlegm & i was nicotine-free by the time 6th form started.
#7 : after the 6th form exams, i got involved with church, where i met my 1st serious girl-friend. the relationship with her lasted 5 years - the relationship with God remains to this day.
& befitting #8 : when i was younger.....er, i mean, much younger, i played football. the last competitive (albeit friendly) game i played was for my department against the orthopods...
...& appropriately enough, i wore this shirt...
..which i've kept all these years!!
(#9 : i'm a sentimental fool!)

Thank you :) I feel honored you did the tag. It is like making a new fren when we know more abt them. I did attend church when I was younger but htere were issues i couldnt handle.
i wasnt good at chess. I don't like to sit still. i would go swimming or hiking or such stuff. I never played football or touched a ball until i was at least 25. there wasnt much opportunity. St Xaviers field is small n i was a loner anyway.
Soya bean. I love soya bean.
WAs okay at chess but then again, I was just average at most stuff which is why I dabbled in all sorts of clubs.
I played chess when i was in Secondary school. But it has been so many years i never touch chess... Definitely No junk food for me... I'm a gym person and currently building my muscle... Just lost 1.5KG in two months with the latest fat reading 18.5% :-)
Hi, doc,
Nice reading! But, er... why "the wife makes fresh brew", not "MY wife"?
Curious, curious only :)
Yan
beng,
you're welcomed.
in a world that's becoming progressively impersonal & hostile, building bridges is the key to world peace!(my 2 sen's worth)
making new friends is a step forward. you should not dwell on your previous life as a loner.
savante,
soya bean milk should be the universal health drink. heh heh.
most of us are just average in most things - sort of jack of all trades.
tz,
you are obviously the mucsle man of blogosphere. i'm sure you are aiming for at least 16% fat.
is tz short for tarzan?
yan,
it's just a matter of speech, the same way i say "the girl" & "the boy".
do i sound distant by saying it that way?
Doc, do you happen to give talks? My CF is looking for a christian doctor to give a talk on a Friday noon session on 'So you wanna save life'.. we are still looking for a suitable christian doctor to give the talk.
lynnx,
the last talk i gave was, coincidentally, on CPR to my church. that was more than a year ago but i think i still have the slides in my laptop.
however, fridays would not be suitable as i have CG at night. email me & we can discuss this.
Yes, doc.. you're a friend. :)
Fyi, you can get saffron ice-cream at San Gimignano, a medieval walled Tuscan village - midway between Pisa and Siena in Tuscany, Italy.
jem,
thks for the directions - i'll look out for this piece of paradise when i'm there next.
Being sentimental doesn't make you a fool, =)
The only soyabean I drink is the kind from the trucks, I don't really like the taste of boxed soyabean drinks.
You coughed up black phlegm?! I'm surprised you didn't stop that day itself.
anastasia,
it's just a figure of speech, isn't it?
for me, the best tasting soya bean is the one with gula melaka, which is popular in penang. did you manage to get some?
i wanted to find out if the black phlegm would go away after some time - obviously it didn't.
Seems to be the trend that the arts stream students are making more money in the working world!
The science stream students are in mainly in a fixed income job
just me,
& we all wonder why students are falling over each other to enter medicine, dentistry & engineering.
this world has certainly gone MAD!
lol. doctors always like to use the sentence 'everything in moderation'. i must have heard it hundred of times :-p i wonder why. and a drawerful is moderation? what is over-indulgence then? a cupboard full? lol. btw, i've a box full myself :-p :-p
