25 Random Things

I was asked recently to give a short note about 25 things that makes me tick. I thought might as well put it in my blog. Here goes:
1.I love women especially short ladies. All my exes, gf and wife are short.
2. I am part Bugis and part Jawa.
3. I love doing Family tree. Traced my father ancestry to Sultan Muzaffar Shah and my mother to Sultan Hamengku Buwono
4. Crazy about football especially Manchester United. Go Red Devils
5. Don't like to sleep in the dark. Always have one light on when sleeping.
6. Did my ortho masters but switch to occupational health when I have De Quervin tenosynovitis both hand
7. Love cuddling.
8. Love big bike. Owned a Kawasaki Vulcan 850 but had to sell it on gentle advise of my mother. Frequent accidents.
9. Love my work but could have done better. Also a workaholic.
10. Would love to stop smoking and frequent the gym but difficult to stop smoking as been smoking since Form 3
11. Had one year of self destructive mode ( just after my first divorced came through). Work only when needed and frequent disco, karaoke, night club and changing gf like no tomorrow but it all changes when my uncles intervenes and detox me with gentle and stern lectures. Good cop bad cop routine.
12.Have never been unfaithful to my exes and wife. I am only dangerous when single.
13.Used to drive like a pelesit but one incident cured me of that. Driving home one nite, I kissed the rear of a lorry and ended up in a ditch. When I emerged from the wreck intact the onlookers were amazed I survived as my car was like a crushed tin can. I learned my lesson and nowadays drive within speed limit.
14. I used to be wealthy in the 90's but with my flamboyant lifestyle, bad business dealings etc I crashed during the 1998 financial crisis. Nowadays I am frugal.
15.Love to have children with my wife especially daughter but tak ada rezeki lagi. Miss my 2 sons
16. Love cats. Used to have 12 cats but currently only 2.
17. Planning to get my diving licence in May . Plan to be in Tioman for a week.
18.Loves Masai, Johor. Laid-back and serene. No jams. Used to live in KL and every morning I curse the traffic jam.
19. Favourite pastime is eating especially teh tarik and cheese cake. Yearly cholesterol and angiogram are normal. Phew.
20.Never had fear of heights during growing up but had my first episode while on top of Eiffel Tower. Made a mistake of looking down. (they have grilled-like platform.) Woow was petrified and had to crawl back (macam Mr Bean ) to the lift with the encouragement of onlookers. 3/4 way had to be lifted to the lift. My most embarassing moment. But I cure myself by living on the 26th floor condo and looking down everyday. I worked offshore and has to do yearly medical safety test and one of the test is to jump safely from a height and can't afford to have gayat.
21. Love gardening especially orchid.
22. Movie freak but only watch at home. Dont like to go to theater. Have 2 big boxes full of DVD. Fav is sci-fi movie.
23.Loves the sea. Used to work as ship or oil platform medical officer. Would have continued working offshore if not from constant nagging of my mother to get a wife and increase her cucu brood.
24.Tried ganja once and fortunately I hate it.
25. Used to drink but stop 20 years ago after I woke up one day with god-awful hangover on somebody front lawn and cannot recollect what I did the nite before. I hate the sense of not in control and since then I taubat tak mau minum lagi.

So that's 25 of my moment in life. Have a lot more but I think that's enough for you to know a bit about me
