I am sugar, spice, and all things nice.
My Self-Summary
... and, optimistic, empathetic, quite philosophical (my latest
rant has been on whether those perceived as being 'evil' ever
realise that they are indulging in evil activities), and apparently
an eccentric (not an adjective which I'd prefer to describe myself
as, but then perhaps my friends are wiser), the after-effect of
spending just too many years at two certain universities. But, to
be honest, I am not that fond of tagging myself with
adjectives...
I've joined Okcupid mainly for the wonderful tests since I am
rather introspective (and my test results, in itself, should
illustrate the type of person I am- which I reckon is probably
going to scare away a sizeable number of profile visitors). Having
said that, I wouldn't be averse to making new friends, especially
if you'd like to discuss all things under the sun, including
history, environment, geography, literature, architecture, and
music (preferably classical)!
What I’m doing with my life
mainly research, soul-searching, and introspection, but also
learning to appreciate each and every blessing, as well as
welcoming any opportunity which allows me to enjoy life and laugh a
little bit more!
I’m really good at
being empathetic, organising (especially surprise parties),
debating, juggling too many hobbies/interests at the same time,
daydreaming (don't we all?), procrastinating, learning new
languages (there are a few more which I haven't listed :p ), ...
and a few more.
The first things people usually notice about me
Apparently, my eyes and smile. :-)
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: Books are my best friends, and it is hard to list just a
few, or to rate them as well since each has its own uniqueness.
Perhaps what stands out are the Bible (KJV), works of Austen, the
Bronte sisters, Dickens, Hardy, Eliot, Wilde, Carroll, Shakespeare,
Verne, Wells, Shaw, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Tolkien, CS Lewis, and
most poetry/drama before the 1940s, and more contemporary authors
such as Forsyth, Baldacci, and Grisham.
Movies: (to list a very few) Shawshank Redemption, Mr Magorium's
Wonder Emporium, Merchant-Ivory movies, international movies... in
fact, movies of most genres as long as it's not too cheesy.
Music: All except hard rock, metal, rap and reggae.
Food: Any, from any part of the world, except those which ensure
clogging up of arteries!
The six things I could never do without
1. Healthy food
2. Electricity
3. Music
4. Computer
5. Books
6. Hope
I spend a lot of time thinking about
the future, hopes, dreams, plans, observations, philosophies....
On a typical Friday night I am
meeting up with friends for a drink/dinner/movie...
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I tend to be pretty tolerant, but cannot tolerate blatant cruelty
to flora/fauna/humans. I don't like schemers, schmoozers, and
manipulators either.
