HERE IT GOES

1. I can’t take alcohol. Nowadays my limit is one glass of mild cocktail…before I get all red and high. When I was in secondary school I gotten high on alcoholic ice-cream!

2. I can ice skate but I can’t roller blade! I will try to learn soon though!

3. I dream about having a second dog though I’m not sure if I can handle 2 dogs.

4. My favorite cuisine is North Indian cuisine but I rarely get to eat it.

5. I love receiving and writing snail mails even though I email all the time!

6. I’m anemic (less red blood cells than the normal person) so I do try to avoid crowds as I’ll faint!

7. I learn how to swim when I was 4 months old and I could unaided swim breath wise across the Olympic sized pool when I turned 2. Unfortunately I never really swim anymore.

8. When I was 14 I was dared into jumping into a quarry filled with water at Ubin off a cliff about 6 stories high. And I did! It was really something so reckless only my youth could have masked the danger.

9. I have always wanted to learn ballroom dancing but never found the right partner.

10. When I was about 4 my mum took me shopping at the old metro at Far East Plaza basement. She would leave me at the toys department while she shopped. This one time… they had a road safety show for kids going on. Thet asked questions and invited kids to answer them in return for a cute traffic light piggy bank and a stuff toy.

This question was posed : ” Can anyone of you know what the colors on the traffic light represent?”

I proudly raised my hand. Most of the people there must have been shocked to see a tiny 4 year old bravely strut on stage.

The mike was put to me and I answered ” Red stands for Stop. Green stands for Go.”
The lady was very impressed then she asked: “do you know what amber stands for? “
I nodded and answered: ” Yellow stands for GO FASTER!”

Of course the lady was totally shocked and everyone laughed. Naive me didn’t get the joke.

The pretty lady looked at me kindly and asked: ” Who told you that about amber?”
And my reply: ” That’s what my dad told me.”

She looked around for my parents but when she couldn’t see any… she patted my head and gave me the prize. There was a round of applause as I left the stage. Then I saw my mum hiding behind the shelves. She gestured me over and promptly scooted me out of Metro. Later that night my parents gave me a pep talk and for the first time I learned what a politically correct answer is.
