My good friends Renu and Krigers have respectively tagged me in the #rampageofgratitude and #20facts chain games and I’ve hesitated for a while before deciding to participate in the latter. Sorry Renu!

Here you go, the 20 facts about me.

1. I love what I’m doing.
2. I’m doing what I love.
3. For that I’m appreciative and grateful.
4. I’m attached.
   To freedom and travels, that is. The thought of settling down and starting a family horrifies me, period.
5. I enjoy travelling solo because that’s when I get to follow my own pace and understand myself better as I relate myself to those I meet while travelling. I can’t stand travelling with a group of people who take forever to decide where to eat, or keep saying they want to visit shopping centers.
6. I like it when people have tanned skin.
7. I like being in a multiracial/multicultural setting. I (not so) secretly hope my family can consist of as many races as possible and I half-jokingly told my elder sister I’d find for her a Thai boyfriend. She asked me to find myself a Myanmar girl instead.
8. If I were a music genre I would be indie.
9. I’m a fan of director Tsai Ming-liang’s films. I have watched almost all of his works available online.
10. Besides Hollywood and Chinese films, I watch Malay and Indian films more than an average friend would. There is this one attendant at the cinema that I frequent who would always ask if I had purchased the right ticket.
11. If there is one thing I can’t live without, it has to be friends. Friendship means a lot to me and I stay very true to my friends. I have a few best friends from hometown and many awesome friends from Peninsular and outside the country.
12. “Kenneth” is part of my birth name given by my beloved mother and “Kusala” is a Buddhist name given to me by a foreign monk by the name of Ven. Mangala after I officially became a Buddhist. I’ve never given myself any name and I cherish whatever is given to me.
13. I’m a perfectionist in what I do.
14. I don’t like it when people impose their values upon others (2+3 equals 5, so does 4+1, so let people live with their choice lah), or preach something they don’t practice in the first place.
15. I find it annoying when people tYpE LiKe tHiS.
16. I love surprises. If you want me to take notice of you, surprise me.
17. I love Shanghai oldies and have a collection of many original CD’s of such oldies.
18. I like Nasi Goreng Kampung, so much so that I have it almost every morning.
19. Most of the days I cook my own dinner.
20. I’m usually a very polite person but most of you should know by now that I’m rather straight-forward in what I say. My colleague once called me “as ‘straight’ as a highway.”

Alright, I will do everyone a kind favour by putting an end to this chain game and not tagging anyone. Heheheh.
