Me

A very long 'About me'

Written on 16 January 2013
In a car and massage parlour

My name is Sharmaine Yeo Sze Min. I like my name because it is different from Shermaine or Charmaine. It represents me well. I'm sixteen going seventeen. 157 centimetres tall. 45.5 kg heavy. Physically I'm your normal average person even though I try not to be (appearance wise). My favourite type of food is Japanese because I enjoy the fish the Japanese eat and squishy noodles. At the same time I enjoy anything spicy but I hate anything too spicy. I have a sweet tooth. Which has been bad for my face. I enjoy writing and reading a lot. Ironically I also enjoy sports a lot. All kinds, in fact. In my free time, I enjoy baking as much as I enjoy eating what I bake. I enjoy YouTube too much than I actually should. Facebook and Twitter is boring but visiting such sites is a habit. I enjoy shopping a little too much. I enjoy eating and enjoy enjoying life as much. Ironically, I love the Xbox and FPS games. The Kinect is an okay form of exercise. Effective. I like Glee, Korean dramas and the "Top Model" franchise. I also love watching Tennis. Grand slams baby! That's about all the things I watch on TV. And judging from the things I like, I guess I love being both girly and boyish.

While there's an end to the things I currently like, there's no end to the things I want to like. So, I like new things. Eating new things, trying new things, doing new things. New people, new places, new activities, new environments. That doesn't mean I don't like to be old-fashioned once in awhile. My weirdest habits are movie making and doing gigs in the shower. The weirdest part of my body is my butt. It's green. I like pig intestines and that's not weird. I love being entertained. By music, by books and by movies. I enjoy music. Rarely, I enjoy the music people don't call music. I think Kpop can be good. So don't deny it. Big Bang has been too good. A good beat works for me. So does a guitar accompanying a lovely voice. I like feeling obsessed about talent, or someone who has talent because I appreciate a good voice. R.I.P to the good singers with good voices - Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston and more. Big Bang, I am so going to your concert one day. I promise myself and God. And yes, I am a Christian and proud to be one.

I appreciate a good story, regardless of whether they're on print or screen. My favourite books are the Percy Jackson series. And Rick Riordan is a genius. My favourite movies are Disney's Tangled and James Cameron's Avatar. I feel that Disney Pixar cooks up a mean movie. I don't only like one genre of music of books or movies. Any genre is good if the story is meaningful and thought-provoking. I have friends - not too many, not too little. I'd like to use a better word than 'nice' to describe them but I'm afraid I have to use it anyway. They are nice. The nicest is my best friend, Celine. I have a family, and they're nice too. And I'm afraid I can't single out the nicest family member although I could single out my sister, Shevonne. In summary, the ones I love deserved to be loved. And although everyone says this, I have to say it anyway. I have the best family and friends in the www (whole wide world).

Don't ask me to describe my personality in 'a few' words, it's too difficult. My strongest trait is tenacity. I think I have mostly emotional tenacity. I think I have physical tenacity too. My weakest trait is absent-mindedness. I am weird in the sense that I may look absent-minded but am actually looking around and wondering. And thinking. I like thinking about the reasons behind everything. 'Why is there static electricity?' has been my most recent question. This is what triggers me to write. I'm able to write well with inspiration, which could be almost anything. And I just discovered I love food that's crispy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside. And beef. Sorry for going off-topic, it happens. Cos I'm a girl.

I don't love studying, but I don't hate it either. I honestly prefer having fun. I only study when it's seriously time to. So that's why I guess, studying has been okay to me so far. My favourite subject is math, although my PSLE and 'O' level results say otherwise. I hate humanities. My 'O' level results say otherwise. I don't like memorising Biology. My 'O' level results don't say otherwise. Forming good relationships is something that means a lot to me. I treasure a good relationship involving a good person. And I think good relationships can only exist with good communication. A good person to me has basic morals and shares things. A person I wouldn't like is someone unhygienic, inconsiderate, proud and self-righteous. I mix well with people who go beside me, rather than in front of me. People who talk about life are good too. The perfect guy to me (appearance wise) is Lee Min Ho.

Anyway, I hope I haven't been boring up to this point. I'm about to finish. Just let me declare some random things. I go crazy at night. I cry at movies. I like responsibilities. I like giving advice. I love my mother a lot. I love feeling loved. I love making people smile. And I like going through hardship because I like gaining experience. I hate people who force beliefs on me. I hate bad music. I hate to see my loved ones being bullied. I can be nice, I can be nasty. And I hope I've been nice, and reading this has been nice for you. Writing it has been nice too. Thank you for having enough interest in me to read up to this point. I just wonder why I have this much patience to write this much. I must really love writing.

One last thing - I'm Sharmaine Yeo, I'm strong, bubbly and happy-go-lucky. I have cried, lied and sighed. I'm not the best person in the www. I can be wrong even though I prefer to be right. Who I am isn't someone great like leader Barrack Obama, sportsman Roger Federer or legend Bruce Lee. I will NEVER be great like them, but one day, I hope to be great in my own way. I've got to say, I'm happy enough with who I am and I thank God for letting me be me.

Now I have a question for you - are YOU happy with who you are?

"One can only love others when he loves himself" - Me, I think
