8 random facts about me
Posted on 18. Jun, 2008 by emelda in Personal, Tagged, Thought
I’ve done this tag before but i think it was at my “old” blog address…heheh inda simpan that blog add anymore. 
. I was tagged by Aunty J this time around. So what i need to do was just to jot down 8 random facts about me… hmm let me see what i can think of that you guys don’t already know by now…heheh
1-I have Phobia( duh, everyone has Mel!) And you know what is Mine? Balloons and Sea! Yes you read and read that right. Balloons and sea…. ok i lied…i’m not only scared of balloon but im terrified by it! I can’t stand the smell of the balloons or even the sight of it. I get really really paranoid and very jumpy whenever i see balloons. I just hate the sound of it when it pops! Urggg and i always says this to Daniel: MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT SHOULD BANNED BALLOONS! IT”S NO GOOD!But as usual…he will just smile at me. I believe he thinks i’m a nutso case.
SEA: hahahahahah..yea, yea i know despite me being an Ex National Swimmer…that doesn’t mean i love the sea. Nope, i don’t (but i love the beach ). This one i can only go as deep as my ankle… that’s about it and itupun cukup to make me feel dizzy and out of breath. I still remember how long it took me to get into the sea just so that i could learn how to surf in Bali! I was at the beach side, walking and trying to get into the water for an hour!!! 1 freaking hour(maybe even more)!!! I remember how the instructor use to teased me…”hey come in already,look at this girl she is only 8 and she is already in the water learning how to surf!!!” Darn that instructor! Anyway, i did at last managed to get into the sea( he have to hold my hand and guide me) and i pass my level 1 with flying colors! Wohoo…but still i am scare of the sea… 
till now i have not gone into the sea yet. This surfing school was back in year 2006! Wahhahahaa..
2- I want to learn how to dance. Pole dancing that is..i’m hunting for better price offer and place to learn now. I want to sign up once i get a new job… i think this dance exercise is really cool! Not only i get to dance but at the same time giving me a good whole body workout! Coolness!
3-I love junk food( crisp potato chips specially cheese coated ones)but i’m not so much of chocolate and ice cream person.That department is taken care by Daniel.
4-I can’t leave home without making up my bed. I need my bed to be tidy whenever im back home, but if im home whole day i can live without making up the bed.strange huh?
5-I love gardening but i can’t take the crawling creature that living in the soil…every time i see them coming out..i would scream and Daniel will always get into panic mood for no reason because i scream over small matters…millipede,centipede, cacing you name it as long as they dont have tulang belakang..that’s scare the hell out of me!
6- I don’t like the feeling of getting drunk. I HATE THE FEELING OF HANG OVER! I party, yes but 2-4 cups of cocktail drinks per outing is just nice for me..i don’t drink that much.I can only take Vodka lime,Baileys and shots once in a while. Whiskey is a no no for me and same goes to beer!
7-I am Nike Athlete. Meaning, i’m fully sponsored by Nike. Yes, i’m lucky and always thankful for that.
8-My first kiss was back in year 1993( when i was in form 2).My first swimming tournament (outside Sabah)was when i was only 7 years old and my biggest achievement as a national swimmer was being enrolled in JAYA 1998 commonwealth games athletes programs( although at the end i did not go because of POLITICAL ISSUE at MSN at that time) and all my hard work was recognized by the Sabah Sport Council Ministry at the age of 10. Yes, i am proud of my achievements throughout my swimming career but if you think i would do it again…nope, i won’t. As i did not get to grow up and spent my time like a “normal” kids do and i would like to have that memories in me instead of ONLY swimming training routine 5 hours a day in my head while growing up. Yes, i spent half of my life in the swimming pool. Learned how to swim by the aged of 4 and started representing the state when i was only 7 years old and stop competing when i was 16 years old.
This is the longest random facts about me i ever done so far…LOL! But yes, that’s me. The Emelda that you know.
P/s: Don’t get me wrong, i did not regret growing up as an athlete but i am proud of it. If it’s not because of all the discipline and training , i don’t think i will be where i am today. and for that i must say Thank You to my Parents specially my Dad for giving me the guidance, patience and for always believing in me.
Again today, am not gonna tag anyone.

Balloons? you’re terrified of balloons? LOL! That’s the first time I’ve ever heard of anyone afraid of balloons. I didn’t even know there was a phobia for such things … hehehe …
Oh, I’m terrified of the sea too. I nearly drowned once before when I was a kid and have been scared of the ocean since then …

Yeahh.. I have to echo everyone’s surprise with your “Globophobia” as you put it. hehe.. when it’s party time at the house (kids party la) I am tukang tiup belon. And then I like to chase my kid sister around when I tiup besar2.. maybe she’s your geng oh kan?
My father also almost drowned once and he forbade us to go to the islands. He has a phobia on the sea too. Since he passed away I still feel guilty of wanting to go to the islands. Itu lah sampai skarang, I never go to the islands. tsk tsk tsk.. unbelievable.
