8 random facts about me

June 18th, 2008 by emelda

I’ve done this tag before but i think it was at my “old” blog address…heheh inda simpan that blog add anymore. :D. 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 :D). 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! :D 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. :D 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. :D 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. :D

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. :D 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. :D

Again today, am not gonna tag anyone. :D

    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.
