Once upon a time, I was a fiend at Super Smash Bros on Nintendo Gamecube. Almost everyone who owned that game thought they were the best as there were very few competitive scenes and all players inflated their egos by demolishing their CPU opponents on the easiest difficulty. And then I got my wake up […]
You’re not going to believe this but I’m not very adventurous. My idea of weekend adventure consists of sleeping in past 6 o’clock and delaying my afternoon nap ’til 1 o’clock. The most exciting thing I’ve done recently is putting two scoops of ice cream between two Krispy Kreme donuts and devouring it all within […]
Here’s something I just realised about myself; I’m a little bit of a hoarder. No, I’m not Hodor; I’m a hoarder. I still have really random possessions from weird chapters in my life. There’s the orange scarf from the time I tried my hand at cosplay (this will be the only time I ever talk […]
I’m always in a state of wanderlust. I dream of watching the cricket at Lords in London. I want to play high stakes poker in Macau. I can visualise downloading torrents at 2,000mb per second in a seedy internet cafe in Seoul. I taste the buttery croissants served to me from a nice French girl […]
There were a lot of things I missed out on growing up in a Chinese household. I never celebrated Christmas with my family or Easter or Thanksgiving. Hell, we never even gathered everyone around the television set to watch the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. I missed out on years of Adriana Lima, Miranda Kerr […]
Random iFat trivia time: I don’t like swimming very much. I can swim, I’m no Michael Phelps but I’m not a flailing mass of limbs either when you throw me in a body of water. It goes back to an incident I had as a kid in which I nearly drowned because the girl who […]
Once upon a time, I hated my job. I was stuck in a place where I thought careers went to die which was ironic because it was one of my first “real” jobs. In my mind, I had nowhere else to go. This is what university had prepared me for, it was all a part […]
I was once the king of a great high school in Sydney’s South West. Ok, it wasn’t a great high school but it was definitely a high school. And no I wasn’t really the king, but it was in a suburb called Kingsgrove. You know what else is in Kingsgrove? A great souvlaki/gyro place by […]
Little known fact about me: I used to be a barista. I was absolutely terrible. This was before I liked coffee so I had absolutely no idea what “good” coffee was. I must’ve ruined coffee for so many people. In fairness, the beans we used smelt like me before I discovered deodorant so it was hard […]
I have very few culinary skills. My best move in the kitchen involves moving out of the kitchen. Don’t even get me started on my baking proficiency. I once brought a mug to a cupcake making day because I thought it was essential. Ok, I didn’t but did anyone NOT believe that story? Today, I’m […]
There are a lot of random things I want in life. I want a premium bath robe like the ones they provide in hotels (every hotel in the world has just been flagged that I am a likely robe thief), I want a mini fridge for my bedroom (so that I never have to leave […]
Once upon a time, I didn’t have the internet. The year was 2008 and a rival gang decided to cut my connection in an attempt to sever my ability to communicate with all my henchmen. An alternate version of the story involves my parents snipping it absent mindedly thinking it was connected to an explosive. […]
