Knight? Lancelot then!

Considering that I'll be away camping/hiking this weekend, let me finally co-operate and respond to a tagged questionnaire; the shorter one mind you =P. Here are the apparent rules:

"Each player of this game starts out by giving 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names."

6 queer things about Mervin are:

1) I have Chandler's (character from Friends) syndrome. This basically means that I can smile and grin silly all I want normally but when asked to for photos, my cheeks and lips freeze up and refuse to work in unison with each other so my smile goes all spasticated. Only very few people can temporarily alleviate this bane of mine.

2) I want to join the Medicine Sans Frontier (MSF) someday and get posted off to the African nations or the Americas. It sounds romanticised and cliched to some extent but I really really do want to make a difference if I get the opportunity to. Besides you only live once; what fun is life without some 'roughing it' and potential danger thrown into the fray.

3) My hair's akin to a hybrid offspring of bushes and barbed wire. It grows at an alarming rate despite me cutting/shearing it twice a month and puts up a hard fought battle whenever I attempt a futile effort to tame it.

4) Err... *in tiny voice* I used to be an avid fan and reader of J.R.R. Tolkien's work and could (and uncannily still can to some extent) recall things for instance how Tolkien's fabrication of the world of Middle Earth; from the Valar and Valinor down to the links between the 'Lord of the Rings' and the 'Silmarillion' which people tell me remind them of a history book. *inserts head inside paper bag labelled G-E-E-K* Coincidentally Sidney Cornelius Nicodemus Cheong Boon Kiat still owes me an expensive meal from a bet made 5 years ago that he'd finish reading the 'Silmarillion'; he kept it for 5 years and never went past the third page.

5) I once made it to a much desired location at 2 a.m. in the morning with my car practically empty on gas, headlights off and windows down because I switched off the car airconditioner to conserve the measly amount of petrol remaining all the while caressing the dashboard and repeating "C`mon baby just a littttttle further, you can do it" and made it there, and then went midway home several hours later thankful that the petrol stations were finally open for business then.

6) I was er.. Mario? Random la.
