I've never really liked revealing personal details about myself, so until things change (which they probably will soon), I'll just share these few tidbits..

Born in Malaysia but grew up in Thailand and Australia. I've had a good childhood. Moved schools several times. Changed from an 'only chinese speaking' (cantonese and a bit of mandarin) little pike to an 'only english speaking' 22 year old. Sad, I know. I can speak a bit of some languages but not enough to be able to constitute speaking a second language. I come from a family of five, one older brother and sister, which makes me the bratty youngest kid (completely untrue!:P). My mother is and always has been very liberal with us. She's definitely not your typical chinese mom. For the most part she lets me live my life and make my own mistakes. My dad is a stubborn but highly principled man. He's usually quite reserved which is a quality (if you could call it that) I've acquired from him.

People always considered me a bit of a tomboy. A mix between my brother and sister. She was the girl who read books and was sweet natured. He was the sporty, mischievious one. Playing with GI Joes and Christmas beetles (there's no way I'd freely pick up one of those things now) and climbing trees. I started playing soccer when I was 8 years old and continued until I started university. I miss it though. I was crazy about sports and running in highschool. I was basically the all-round nerd, except that included sports as well. I prided myself in coming first in everything.

In the last year and a half of highschool, things began to fall. It was all about a boy. A boy that I chased across the world and came home empty-handed. Not by his choice or my choice. It's too complicated a story. Plus, I don't want to go there.

I still did well in highschool, but nowhere near as well as I wanted or needed to get into the IT course I had hoped to get into. I also got a scholarship for a graphic arts and multimedia place which I didn't accept. I think they gave it out to everyone to be honest. This is how I ended up choosing Chiropractic Science. About a year before that I hadn't a clue what it was. I had a slight scoliosis and went from one doctor to one lousy chiropractor to a really fantastic chiropractor. He fixed my back and during that time talked to me about studying chiropractic. He said he saw something in me. I was skeptical. Once again, it was like the case of the scholarship - did he say this to every high-school graduating kid? No, just me. I tried it, and I'm proud to say that four years later I am still here and now doing Masters. It has been the toughest academic years and though I'm still not exactly sure what I want to do, I do know that I want to be able to live comfortably and have the time to do the things I enjoy, like drawing and travelling and whatnot. This occupation, hopefully, will enable me to do that.

It is great to be able to help restore the health of people. I think it's a very self satisfying job. Chiropractic has its downfalls though, let me tell you. Squabbling aunts and relatives and ignorant friends all come begging for a 'massage' everytime they see you. In this line of profession I've come to realise that you live it. There's no such thing as out of office hours :(

I love dogs. We've had two in the past decade. I'm looking to get another one. I'd love to save one from the pound :) Cats are cool too, except they don't seem to like me. They always run away =(

I'm a deep thinker, which drives everyone nuts. A perfectionist. A complainer. A daydreamer. A typical Virgo. My favorite color is blue. I eat potato anything :D I listen to most kinds of music (when you're in my dad's car, it's Rod Stewart all the way. When it's mom's car, it's chinese music or karaoke. Yikes to both). I seem to have more soundtracks in my cd collection. I DO admit to liking Elvis =)

I absolutely cannot stand all those cutesy little trinkets and toys that people hang on their bags, their shoes, their clothes, their head etc. I could never go out with a guy who stacks all those springy cartoon characters on the dashboard of his car. Now that I say this, I will probably end up marrying one. Ahhh noooo!

It's not to say that I hate cartoons and cute characters. Just don't overdo it, you know?

My impatience wore out a few months ago and I can no longer stand people who give me or others attitude. I hate when people tell me I'm too small or too skinny because I'm not. Maybe compared to your average aussie chick, but I can't even fit into a size S in Malaysia. I'm one of those girls who'd want bigger boobs like the majority of girls seem to but I wouldn't go so far as to have someone slit my chest open with a scalpel and insert the latest silicon blubber into it. It's like what Rosie O'Donnell says in Beautiful Girls - "girls with big tits, have big asses. girls with little tits, have little asses. god's a fair guy, he doesn't fuck around. he gave the fatties big, beautiful tits and the skinnies, little tiny niddlers. it's not my rule. you don't like it, call him.' I'll just have to deal with it.

I can play the piano. Hated having lessons when I was younger. I've sprained many fingers bashing my hand against the keys =/ I do wish that somehow, through those childhood years, I'd finished grade 8 piano. I get envious when I see people playing by ear. I also get jealous of people who walk around carrying those huge, black art folders. I've always wanted to be one of those kids around campus.

I secretly want to be a private detective or an extreme sports star :D hehe..I would love to be able to do all those cool tricks on a halfpipe. Except for bungee-jumping. I have this fear that my eyes will pop out of my head when I, of all people, jump.

Hmm..what else.. I could go into all the shows I like to watch but I think this is pretty heavy reading for someone sharing only a few 'tidbits' =) If you've made it down this far, I'm giving you my personal congratulations :D

See ya fellas =)
