About Me! (Longest post ever!)
Friday, June 19, 2009


Are you bored? Up to this challenge? This post is FULL OF WORDS!
&& the challenge is you attempting to read this...

Well, I'm not good in starting introductions about myself but I'll attempt it anyways. I'm May and I'm seventeen years old this year but my brain is the size of a seven year old. I was born 4 days before Christmas in a hospital like how most people I would expect would usually born in. My parents decided my name would be 'May' because they wanted their children names to start with 'M'. Apparently at the time I was born, the only name they could think of that started with M was MAY. Aren't they cool? =.= My full name is 26 letters long which is exactly the same number of letters as the alphabet. I don't really like my name, in fact it annoys me sometimes. Some of my teachers likes to drag the 'y' when they say my name so it sounds like 'MAYYYYY' which makes me sound like an annoying kid. I don't think I am THAT annoying, really. Some of my teachers have really cool accent and when they say my name, it sounds really awesome - I like.

Anyways, I go by a few nicknames that have changed over the years. I have a collection of nicknames given to me by my friends like..May June July, JJ (June July), May May, RawrrMAYYY, MAYonnaise, Superma'am, a-MAY-zing (current). When I first migrated to Perth, I attended Campbell Primary School for a year before moving to Canning Vale College. I'm the kind of kid that gets chosen last in sports when picking teams. sucks, but you get use to it after a while. I've had like a million cliques in my life & finally in year 11-12, I am able to stick to one clique. You could say that when I was small, I was a tom boy. I was the kind of kid that loves game boy, beyblades and pokemon while barbie was a no go zone.

My very first ambition was to be a pokemon trainer. Mind you, I was 5 years old at that time! The ambition ended when I told my mum, and she told me there was no such thing. However, even to this day..when someone ask me 'what do you want to be when you grow up?'..the thought of being a pokemon trainer still looms in my mind. Watching television has changed my ambition a few times..when I saw border security on TV, I thought it was a really cool job to be searching people's bag for drugs as they pass through custom so I thought, Mm..I think I want to be a custom officer when I grow up. Then when I watched Bondi Rescue, I watched the lifeguards save people's life and I was like WOW! I want to be like them - a hero! So I thought, a job as a lifeguard sounds neat & exciting. Currently, I'm a fan of Masterchef and I'm thinking about being a chef and creating all this wonderful meals that people would love eating. Yum! The newest show that just came out - 'Recruits', I watch how people became a police officer and just the thought that EVERYDAY is different & exciting gets me going! YES YES! That's the job for me.

Music plays a huge role in my life. Honestly, it means SO MUCH to me as an individual. Now, not any ordinary music. I believe that chinese music holds the most meaning and hearing it just touches your heart and I find it easy to relate to it. I love singing, chinese song - that is! I don't have a bad voice but I don't have a strong voice either, however..if I did have a strong voice, I would love to fly to Taiwan and become a singer. I'm allowed to dream, right?

For someone that knows her strength and weakness well, I know that I am not smart academically. I fail in studying! It annoys me that some teachers groups asians into a 'smart' category and when you meet them for the first time at the start of the year, their eyes looks at you like they expect great results from you. However, after meeting me..I think the stereotypes of asian is quickly destroyed. (Sorry Asians!)

I may seem like a good quiet asian to most people but I've done some things most of you would have NEVER done. Before I moved here, I was quite a naughty kid. I joined a gangster group and learnt to shoplift with friends, canned on the hand by my chinese teacher, wagged school every opportunity I can get, forge parents signature, hit my chinese teacher, vandalize the school toilets, gone to detention, meeting with the principal, shout at teachers and many others endless things.. I think it was just a stage of my life where I was probably at my worse. I no longer hide and deny it around my friends. I think being honest about this is really important because if they accept your faults, chances are..the friendships are able to last. Don't worry, I've told my mum the truth about most of them last year..&& apparently she was aware of some of them. So that explains why my family migrated to Perth, right? Right.

Because I never had a good relationship with any teachers in Singapore, I have a dislike for teachers overall but strongly dislike them if they are chinese teachers. My teachers in Singapore never believed in me, they called me useless and 'someone that won't succeed in the future' (mind you, I will prove them wrong!). I've spent most of my days in school standing outside the classroom for disobeying the teachers or standing up for a whole lesson for failing my spelling test. I would say, it was a daily routine I was quite used too. When I moved to Perth, my year 7 teacher was really different. I think he actually treated me as a student. For once I felt like any other normal kid should feel. Studying in Perth, I've met teachers who are racist and sexist and judgemental! I think no matter how much I hate or dislike a teacher, I will still respect as a teacher. *salutes*

&& let's just say...I know more things that goes on behind my back than I really should! ;)

do you think teachers betray teachers? of course, they'll human! ;)

but I think its just the kind of things you just ignore and move on..
as long as you, yourself know its not true, you just go meh!
little drama in life is always good

Also, I think because of the things I've been through in Singapore, a part of me wants to be a teacher, primary school teacher - that is! But will I be able to fully get over all those that happened? Probably not! Its like a scar that keeps on living in you!

I'm currently doing my final year in high school. Its basically the year that tells you whether you make it to university or not so it is a very important year for me! I can tell you, I'm not doing too well at the moment. I hate Maths with a passion more than any other subjects! Maths Makes May Mad! Honestly! In year 10, I had this maths teacher, he use to tell jokes and honestly, Most of his jokes were lame alright! But it usually got a laugh out of me and I didn't realize the importance of it till year 12 when I look forward to a joke to get me through that hour of maths and all I got from my teacher was maths talk. Do'h! :)

A part of me cant wait to leave high school! However, the other part of me is scared and filled with anxiety. Will I make new friends? What if I don't make any friends? What if no one likes me? There are so many WHAT IF that it just boogles my mind sometimes.

Well, random facts you should know about me. I'm left handed and I am very proud to be unique and a little different from 70% of people. I have a scar on my eyebrow that is quite obvious. My fringe plays a major role in my life. It covers up my eyebrow scar and it also covers up my pimples on my forehead. I am forever grateful to my fringe! I have a belly button but I don't have a hole which means I can forget about getting a belly button piercing. *cries* If I don't get enough sleep, I get triple eyelids instead of my usual double eyelids.

I like to spend my weekends at North bridge hanging out at pot black, playing pool, drinking bubble tea, karaoke at Utopia, Timezone, Neoprints. You know, all the Asian things that typical Asian does! (No stalker please. I learn taekwondo!!) I think my ideal day would be drinking hot chocolate from muzz buzz, sitting in front of my computer/laptop while reading blogs and talking on MSN in front of the heater. Its not too much to ask for a simple girl! is it?

The simple things actually makes my day. Someone who I'm not friends with, more like acquaintance comes up to me and gives me a hug and says, you look sad, I think you need it. Can I just say, I'll always remember that moment? Not because I got a hug, but because I feel like someone cares. Most people know that I don't really like giving people eye contact especially teachers (cause they always look intimidating - to me anyways)! I try to avoid eye contact at all cause. But when I do look and they smile, if I smile back, they made my day. Yeah, just like that!

Anyways, if its not obviously I love ranting! Without ranting, there would be no blog readers. With no blog readers, there will be no blog, with no blog there will be no me. That's right! Blogging is actually a part of my life!

P.S: If you read all this then wow! Kudos to you..
P.P.S: What are the chances of people reading ALL of this? 1%?

Yeah, this post is all about ME!
ME! ME! ME!

Nothing about you; cause I'm selfish like that
