Oh finally, I hear you say. I have finally got down to writing this post! Hahaha. Yeah right. You all have been "awaiting with bated breath", I'm sure =p. Well I'm not very sure at all what I'm going to write on this post, so Rating To Be Advised.

Top 3 Songs which Make Me Act Weirdly:

1. Lan Tian-Huang YiDa
2. Wo De Ai-Sun Yan Zi (*winks at Becks*)
3. Qi Li Xiang-Jay Chou

Stay away from me if you know I'm listening to/singing any of the above, and it is at night and I seem to be feeling emotional. I am prone to talking and behaving weirdly. Weirder than I usually do, I mean.
The rest of this post will pretty much be a continuation of my very first OC Speech ;), which was about...Myself!
Ambition
I've always wanted to be a writer. It is, to me, a rather slack job in which I get to do what I love, AND stay at home while at it. I mean, how much better can it get? I get to stay at home and not move in front of the computer (one of my favourite things), doing what I love. Sure, there might be some rushing to meet deadlines, but it's still better than seeing clients' black faces right? Or putting up with hated colleagues.
But here comes the bad part. How many local writers do you know of? The fingers on one hand might be more than enough for you to count on. And of the local writers that you know of, how many are truly roaringly successful? I mean, successful enough to not need another job. And I am certainly not the best there is. Which brings me to my Flaws in Writing.
According to Leong (close friend from sec sch), the stories I write are so darn dramatic that she "can't bear to read on". (The previous sentence was supposed to be in my OC speech. Something like that, anyway. But I forgot to say it. Lol don't tell Constance.) Hahaha. But the happy thing is that she is the only one who appears to feel that way. And my english teacher once said that my stories are too unrealistic. Fair point, as I prefer writing fantasy. And fantasy is not very favoured in school or 'O' level essays. But I do so love to write fantasy. Thus, I ended up making my stories unrealistic. Oh well. Haha but this restriction is out of the way now that I no longer have to write for school. Which makes the last few sentences (and this one) rather redundant. But nevermind. Let's move ahead. And waste more sentences. Yeah, one last self-confessed and self-discovered flaw: my stories are getting very predictable.
There is also another obstacle standing in my way, preventing me from getting to that Bestseller list. Most writers are usually not very young. I'm sure I am not alone in the experience of reading a very satisfying book, and turning to the back cover to find that the author is actually this old and wrinkled person who does not reflect any of the wit and humour and whatever u like about his/her writing at all through his/her appearance. My point is that writing is usually a retiree's job. Roald Dahl was old and now, dead. J.K Rowling is not exactly in her flower of youth. Thus, I sadly realised that I had to get a cruddy job to last me until I am old and wrinkled (or at least when I am in my 30's) when I can finally land a book deal. If I ever do.
Also, local writers write local stuff. Those that I know of, anyway. They all write stories that reflect our asian culture and have asian characters. Throughout my entire English education, I do not think I have ever wrote a single story which is like this. My stories usually have Western-influenced storylines with english names. By the way I used to love deciding which name I should give my characters. I would spend at least a good ten minutes trying to decide which lovely christian name I should give my character. It was my fetish. But I kinda stopped when I realised that during exams there is not much time for such "indulgences". So, anyway, maybe local writers have to write local stuff to succeed? If that's the case, I am so dead. I mean, I'll be dead before I get a book deal.
But I'm still going to try my very best to become a writer. =)
Family
I believe I have divulged quite a lot about my immediate family. In case you missed them, here they are (and more):

1. Father: Loves to blast loud music from the stereo to annoy the entire family (and maybe neighbours, though they have never complained) and gratify himself. I have also realised recently that he walks around the house in a kinda pompous manner, taking big steps and erasing any doubts anyone might have that this is not his house. Oh I love my father, I truly do.
2. Mother: Nice. And soft-hearted. But naggy and can be quite shout-y like most mothers.
3. Younger brother: Annoying and so tanned pple think he is Malay. Obsessed with bball and Michael Jackson (shudders). Neglects his studies. Can be sweet at times. At very rare times.
4. Youngest brother: VERY annoying and so fair pple think he's a sissy. Obsessed with annoying people. I confess that he is very much like me in character. But I am not that annoying and my EQ is higher. Or so I like/have been led to believe.

P.S Yes, my brothers fight. A LOT, damn it.
Okay. I think that's all I will divulge about me and my life for now. Hahaha. Hope this post isn't as crap as I think it is. Cheerio! ;p
