Principles and Beliefs
- I generally stand strong by my principles because I believe they define me, and forgoing them would mean that I'm basically losing myself.
- I do not enjoy imposing my beliefs on others because I believe everyone has a right to their own unadulterated opinion. Preaching facts, on the other hand is a different matter on its own.
- I always put myself in others' shoes whenever I can (not literally wtf), so I can attempt to understand what underlies their actions.
- I believe in helping people, regardless of their social and biological background.
- I feel human greed underlies the problems and inequalities in this world, and am vehemently opposed to its fruits being disguised as methods of survival.
Likes and Dislikes
- My favorite color is blue - it always has been.
- I am a fan of many sports, and enjoy indulging in it both visually and physically.
- Food that I am aversive to: Eggs, Milk
- I enjoy poetry, and am a big fan of Shakespeare and Wordsworth.
- I enjoy photography, but more so of the environment rather than people.
- I like to analyze how people think and act.
- I enjoy all types of music, except techno.
- I like to people-watch when I have a few minutes to spare at a crowded place (malls, cafeteria etc.)
- I dislike beer, although over the last few months I've grown fond of cocktails.
- My favorite movie genre is comedy.
- I am a sucker for history, especially European and early American history.
Character
- I tend to come off as quiet on a first-impression, although that would change once you get to know me better.
- I love challenges, and am driven by them.
- I always strive to do my level best at everything I put my foot into, and believe that patience and persistence will pay.
- I am always up for adventures, and have a rather good sense of direction.
- I often go into deep thought, and it would seem I am in a parallel universe.
- I have never been in a romantic relationship, to date. I still wait for that one person, expecting what some may see as a fairytale.
- I believe that I can be, perhaps to the surprise of many who know me personally - quite hopelessly romantic.. but then again, I haven't had a chance to express it.
- I used to read a lot as a kid, but stopped because I began to develop my own style of writing, and didn't want it to be compromised by the works of others.
- In general I am not calculative when it comes to money amongst friends, but I also try to make sure I am not underpaying in any way.
- I cannot dance. I am simply horrible at coordinating my bodily movements.
Random
- One day I hope to publish an autobiography entitled "What's In A Name," alluding to my long name that has been the subject of much external interest throughout my life.
- I dream of building a home for my mother at some point in my life, with a garden feature and a rambutan tree. :)
