i've nothing to post so i'll post this :D

Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you.

1. The person who tagged me to do this is my oh-so-lovely ex-gf who thinks this's very entertaining to do lol. (yes may anne its you.)

2. My name is spelt Dilun, not Di Lun and its pronounced Di2 lun2 not Di4 lun2 ffs. (jenno!)

3. Although I'm football-mad, my first sport wasn't football. It was table-tennis, and I still play a mean game nowadays. I only started playing football in sec 1 and got drafted into my school's team end of sec 3.

4. I'm very injury-prone when i play football. I have broken a wrist, torn a knee ligament, bruised a tailbone, torn a thigh muscle, got cuts on my brows that needed stitches, suffered mild concussion once and countless twisted ankles.

5. I have a deep dark fear of breaking my leg playing football. Its just... scary. I think I watch too much Youtube.

6. My feet are of different sizes (1/2 size difference) so I wear a pair of customised and personalised football boots when I play. It cost me a bomb but that bomb won me a trip to Vienna to watch Spain vs Germany teehee.

7. Although I'm two-footed, I wish I'm ambidextrous. I think its damn cool to be able to write with both hands.

8. I don't like my signature cos I think its too simple. I'm secretly jealous of people who have very nice long and flowery signatures.

9. I have no artistic talent at all, not even an iota. The only things I can draw is a face of Garfield ( I cannot remember who taught me that) and money. Draw money from ATM geddit?

10. I come across as "Ah Beng" or "Pai Kia" to a lot of people but I don't know why. Maybe my face sibei kiam pa :(

11. I was a VP of student council back in secondary school, that's why I'm very puzzled about #10. I have no idea how I got in though, or maybe what Alvin says is true, "got teacher pull strings".

12. I have 3 siblings, the order goes like this: 1 brother at 26, me at 24, 1 brother at 9 and a sister at 2. My mother zai right haha.

13. I'm fluent in Mandarin but I absolutely cannot write Chinese. To this day I have no idea how I managed to pass O Levels Chinese. I failed EVERY single Chinese exam in secondary school prior to Os but I passed the big one.

14. I can use the chopsticks the proper Chinese way. Nowadays I find that many of my generation can't. In fact I couldn't too, until I got fed up of my uncle telling me that as Chinese I should be able to and told him to show me. Now I've forgotten how to use it the wrong way already.

15. I love animals. I used to carry a small bottle of dry cat feed in my backpack whenever I went out to feed strays I came across.

16. I live on my own, its a long story why but I prefer it this way. It affords me a lot of peace and quiet.

17. I live in a house with 2 dogs! 1 pomeranian and 1 husky. Anyone wants to come over and play with them you're welcome to do so. (and yes may anne I miss sparky a lot!)

18. I love to read. At last count I think I own about 60-70 books.

19. I have bungee jumped before, but it wasn't from very high up, only 50m. What I really want to jump is the one at Macau Tower, world's highest at 233m.

20. I don't smoke, but I don't know why I come across to people that I do. I always get asked for a light on the streets.

21. I don't have a driving license, still in the midst of procrastinating to get one.

22. I get nervous around balloons. It stemmed from childhood when my brother burst one right in front of my face.

23. I choke up sometimes when I watch tribute videos to US servicemen on Youtube. Wa lao people die for their country you know. :/

24. When I'm bored I surf Wikipedia. Its a pretty good way to broaden your general knowledge and learn random stuff that's really... random.

25. I can read on buses/cars/trains without getting motion sickness. I have very good balance too, I always read on the MRT while standing and not holding on to the grab-poles.
