I‘ve been tagged and I wanted to write this one. But time gets the best of me, so I determined to post this in my blog. Instead of doing 25, I’ve decided to add 3 more in celebration of my 28th birthday. So here’s the list of 28 random things about me;

  1. I can't swim. I’ve tried to learn but it’s hopeless. I’m also afraid of height.
  2. Smoking cigarette doesn’t appeal me as much as others have. So I’ve lost interest in it. Furthermore I feel dizzy whenever I inhale cigarette smoke.
  3. I like to eat spicy food.
  4. I am a discreet person. I never tell other people or talk about other people, only to my close one. Sometimes keeping all these stories can really make me feel like I’m going to burst or something.
  5. I’m a fan of Arsenal football club since the days of Thierry Henry. His contribution to the club is immense. Since he left, Arsenal has yet to win any major trophy.
  6. I used to sit for a long time whenever I travel from KK to Tawau by car, to and fro without any pain. Now I can feel the back pain, heartache, cramp etc. whenever I did the journey.
  7. I used to run 100 meter under 12 second. that was when I was 17 years old.
  8. I represented my school in chess, basketball and handball during my secondary school. I missed the volleyball team to go for basketball selection.
  9. I think that Dr. Mahathir Mohamad was the greatest Prime Minister Malaysia ever had.
  10. I hate public speaking because I pause regularly and always lost my words.
  11. I like being crafty but I'm not very patient to master it well.
  12. I learn Mandarin level 1 before. I wanted to Learn level 2 but due to some class mismanagement, the time never came. Maybe in the future I will reconsider. Thinking of taking Spanish level 1 if given an opportunity.
  13. I was skinny during my teenage days. Somehow no matter how much I ate, I never put on much fat.
  14. My blood is type A. First donated blood at Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
  15. It'll take hours for me to write a single paragraph, let alone a whole composition. That's why i started to blog, to sharpen my writing skill.
  16. I love to visit other places but hate the process of getting there. I don't care for flying or driving to my destination. I get bored driving long distance.
  17. My favorite all time food is soto :)
  18. When I was in primary 1, my ambition is to be a lawyer. I turned out to be an engineer instead.
  19. I was born in Lahad Datu and raised in Kota Kinabalu. But my kampung is at Tawau.
  20. I’ve drove over 15 cars in my lifetime… still counting. I'm thinking of taking GDL license in the near future.
  21. I hate chain email and text but love the funny jokes.
  22. Think Valentine Day is overrated and my favorite day is Sunday.
  23. My favorite subject is math & favorite number is 7.
  24. I think that world peace is a utopian thinking. We can never reach that state.
  25. My dad is my hero and idol. He inspires me in everything.
  26. If I could have any superhero power, it would be super strength.
  27. I’m a firm believer in the motto “BERUSAHALAH”.
  28. I'm grateful with my life!

I went to the movie premiere last night at gsc 1borneo


Being a transformers fan ever since a kid,
the movie really intrigued me given that its showing to big screen



1 question,
how did the autobot twins (skids and mudflap) pass through the Jordanian guard, without them noticing there was no driver in them?

Of all the time, it happened yesterday...

I happened to pass Kg. Likas, after the old mosque when i heard a huge POP sound.

It was near 11.00 am and tire was blown away, well literally, by a sharp-ended pebbles just round the mosque curve.
 


I spent 1 1/2 hours changing the spare, luckily with some helping hand.

Just so you know, a new 16" tire cost around RM350 ~ RM450. And a new 17" tire cost between RM650 ~ RM750.  The price varies on the brand, type and seller. Quite big jump in price eh. The pebble cleaves so deep that I have to buy a new tire.

Sadly, I have to dig deep to pay the latter.
