I was tagged by Celestine. I don't know if I can come up with 25 well kept secrets about me... but wait, they don't have to be secrets, right? Random facts, that should be easy. So here I go..!
Phew... that was tiring to find 25 things about me...

I was tagged by Celestine. I don't know if I can come up with 25 well kept secrets about me... but wait, they don't have to be secrets, right? Random facts, that should be easy. So here I go..!
Random fact #1
I have been a coffee junkie since young - so the myth about coffee stunts your growth, it's not true, I'm still considered tall by Malaysian/Sabahan standard - and one of my earlier memories probably was back when I was 3 or 4, pouring myself sweet kopi-o at my great-grandpa's house in Menumbok...Random fact #2
I have not always been fat - my kid pictures shows a goodie side-parting-haired skinny boy - I only got inflated mid-primary schoolRandom fact #3
When I was younger, I used to play a game with my brother - we would take turn try to make each other laugh with jokes or funny faces while the other try to drink a mouthful of water - the first to spill his drink loses...Random fact #4
I was quite good at art - and my personal favourite genre - collages...Random fact #5
Before I got my license to drive, I used to take the car and drove myself to the barber for a haircut. I managed to piss some drivers off by driving at 20 km/h...Random fact #6
The day I passed my driving test was also the day when I first leave the house to study in KL (took the test at noon, then leave for KL in evening) I never drove again till 1/2 year later...Random fact #7
I got into Pre-U at Tsung Tsin just because Vic was - and people probably wouldn't believe how kiasu competitive we were while in school...Random fact #8
I flunked 2nd year Med School and at that was the first time I ate dirt and tasted real failure - I was so depressed I had the delusion of people talking bad about me all the time, and I even considered signing myself up at the psychiatric clinicRandom fact #9
I have an obsession about everything Superman - die-cast, toys, pillows, blanket (no kidding) I think I stop here before I humiliate myself...Random fact #10
Last time when I was still studying, even when I am down to my last RM10, I would spend it over Coffee Bean - it was like, when it comes to gourmet coffee, my judgement becomes haywire. Am I any different now... not so sure...Random fact #11
I have a scar on my left hand, given by my pet mouse when I was still in Primary School. The next day it wasn't my pet anymore, gave it to my then best friend - Kennedy... wonder where is he now...Random fact #12
I've never travelled outside Asia... Is it time for me to see the world yet? Perhaps.Random fact #13
Recently I've picked up the habit of distressing over a karaoke session -- was once an anti-karaoke -- must be the ageing process...Random fact #14
Once I was too tight to get a friend a gift for his birthday, I sneaked him into the labour room, all scrubbed, masked and let him watch the miracle of birth -- lecture me about ethics, but he said that was the best gift ever!Random fact #15
Once, I was so drunk I sweet-talked my friend's mother - haha - nothing 18SX - I told her I want a wife that is like her - and she gave me a peck on the cheek (blush)...Random fact #16
When I was still in Med-school, I'd skip the canteen coffee for my own brewed fresh.. there's a sign on my door that says B.Y.O.M. (bring your own mug) and I have friends knocking on the door when they smell it from their end of the corridor...Random fact #17
I've never really cared about facial care - what soap not to use, what moisturiser to apply - till someone blank-mindedly guessed my age as 40 something... after which I know exactly the arrangements of L'Oreal Menexpert and Nivea Men products in Guardian...Random fact #18
I was given the honour to name a few kids that were born during my posting at Tungku - Josephine Emily, Safwan Iskandar, Alexander and Adam Zachery. I am so grateful to have been given such honour...Random fact #19
Few days before Christmas in 2000, I was given the choice to either postpone my scheduled surgery, or have it as planned - the choice was obvious, and that Christmas a group of us went to the Children's Ward to distribute gift while they were sleeping - imagine the joy then they wake up to a gift nest to their pillow on Christmas day...Random fact #20
The reason I was warded was because I had kidney stone and it was lodged just after my kidney, causing it to swell - few days before Christmas the pain subsided and it seemed the surgery could wait a while more, but some of the kids in Cancer Ward may not - so Santa had to do what Santa had to do.. ho ho ho...Random fact #21
The reason then, I think, for me to get kidney stone was because I did not drink water. Not just not enough water, it was no water - period. I could go through a day with 2 bottles of Coke, but no H2O. Not kidding. Glad to still have 2 kidneys today...Random fact #22
I used to cycle together with another college mate, all the way from Ipoh down to PJ in 4 days. The whole trip is 273km using the trunk-road. You'd think that the legs will suffer from cycling so much, but in fact the legs were fine - the ass wasn't...Random fact #23
When I order KFC, I usually go for a keel, and ribs... and sometimes when I'm naughty, the thigh.. but never never wings...Random fact #24
When Josh was much younger, Mirina and I offered to babysit him while his Mom and Dad can have a quieter Valentine's Day out... and I remember one time at Amcorp Mall when after reading a few picture books to him, he hugged me on my leg and say "I love you Un-ce Ro-rry"... yea, everybody, together now 'aaaaaaaawwww'.......Random fact #25
I used to have a dog called Grover while I was in Lahad Datu... and another one called Oliver when I was doing Klang posting during med-school...Phew... that was tiring to find 25 things about me...
