Onions Galore

I got tagged. By the Rhizobium. A long time ago, hehe.

I am now an onion, being peeled apart layer by layer...

LAYER 1: ON THE OUTSIDE.
(Thanks goes to Ek Guan for the calligraphy)
Name: [Original] Koh Sze Howe, Xu Shi Hao
[Others, in chronological order - List updated 27/5/2007]
Number Four. Why must Chinese have so many words with the same pronounciation...?
Jeremy. It was a birthday present, I suppose.
Tan Sze Howe. I was adopted!
Henry Baltimore. I gave written instructions to my American friend to pronounce my name: Hiss and Buzz at the same time. It obviously didn't work.
Ijem. I had a sex change for a while.
Potassium Hydroxide. Kalium hidroksida -- KOH
Pea. Thanks to the Rhizobium.
Sze Howe Koh. I have to go by "first" and "last" names now...
Sze Koh. With so many immigrants in Australia, you'd think that they'd at LEAST recognize that we can have 2 words as a "first" name. But noooooo...
Sze-Dawg. Woof? But I'm a cat person!
Zee Howe/Sue Howe. I did not bother giving Aussies a pronounciation guide like I did with my American friend.
HB. Unrelated to Henry. I am NOT telling anyone what this stands for. =P

Birth Date: 9 Feb 1988. Present...? *looks hopeful*
Current Status: Single. For how long?
Eye Colour: Brown iris. Black pupil. White sclera. Red capillaries.
Hair Colour: Black now. Light gray in the distant future.
Righty or Lefty: Righty. I'm part of the majority, it seems.

LAYER 2: ON THE INSIDE.
My Heritage: Gua si Hokkien lang! But I have been accused of being a GEY chio before.
My Fears: Fear itself. I'm not talking about Boggarts here. I fear being held hostage by fear, yet I let it happen. Ironic, no?
My Perfect Pizza: I could say Marco's, but it's not. =) Well... One that's professionally made. Cuz mine taste horrible.

Home-made pizza. Tastes a bit bland. Looks awesome though. *hidung kembang*


LAYER 3: YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW.
My Thoughts First Waking Up: Good morning, Lord!
My Bedtime: What does this mean?
My Most Missed Memory: The memories which I have forgotten...

LAYER 4: MY PICK.
Pepsi or Coke: Pepsi. *glares in defiance*
McDonald's or Burger King: I got lots of Pokémon toys from Burger King... =)
Single or Group Dates: Single dates sounds more managable, haha
Adidas or Nike: Fila. Only THEY produce shoes of un-strange shapes
Tea or Nestea: Tea. Has real fragrance.
Chocolate or Vanilla: *bursts out laughing* What kind of a question is that?! ...oh, you're being seious... Fine. Chocolate. Duh.
Cappuccino or Coffee: Teh C Peng!

Liquid chocolate. Yumm...

LAYER 5: DO YOU...
Smoke: 70% of my body is water and I stay away from intense heat, so hopefully I'll never combust
Curse: Avada Kedavra! ...nah.
Take a Shower: To avoid stinking, yes.
Have a Crush: DID I have a crush? Yes. DO I have a crush? I would like to know too, please.
Think You've Been In Love: Lol, I did. Now I feel silly.
Go To School: Does uni count?
Want To Get Married: Yes, no, maybe. Can't decide yet.
Believe In Yourself: If I don't, would I cease to exist?
Think You're A Health Freak: I eat chocolate. I eat fruits and veg. What do you reckon? ^_^

LAYER 6: IN THE PAST...
Drank Alcohol: Shandy when little. Cup of unknown alcoholic beverage at age 14. The end. Some people have a problem with that.
Gone To The Mall: Dragged into them kicking and screaming. But yes.
Been On Stage: "Abang!" :-D
Eaten Sushi: Did you know that the rice-in-seaweed-rolls is actually called MAKIzushi? Sushi is the rice. The answer's yes, by the way.
Dyed Your Hair: Nope. It's currently dyed with melanin. Thus the black colour.

I've looked prettier at times...

LAYER 7: HAVE YOU EVER...
Played A Stripping Game: Yep. I won, too! We stripped oranges in a circular fashion and I obtained the longest length of peel, yeah!
Changed Who You Were To Fit In: I changed myself, thus ended up not fitting in. How senseless.

LAYER 8: AGE YOU'RE HOPING...
To Be Married: *scratches head* I really have no idea. Late 20's, perhaps.

LAYER 9: IN A GIRL...
Eye Colour: Anything not white. Never did like those horror flicks.
Hair Colour: Not bright green, blue, pink, etc. please.
Short Hair or Long Hair: Short hair's no fun... you can't annoy her by messing it up!

LAYER 10: WHAT WERE YOU DOING...
A Minute Ago: 9.04pm - Walking about the house after getting sick of typing.
An Hour Ago: 8.05pm - Watching a dude crack flaming whips on TV.
4.5 Hours Ago: 4.36pm - Talking about last year's graduation speech.
1 Month Ago: 8 March 2007 - Experiencing my first day where 6 out of 24 hours were spent in laboratories. The lab coat was cool.
1 Year Ago: 8 April 2006 - NOT realizing that I should have jotted down my activities in order for me to recall them today.

LAYER 11: FINISH THE SENTENCES...
I love: ...loving and being loved.
I hate: ...the presence of hatred. Paradox again.
I hide: ...my thoughts too often.
I miss: ...my ignorance. Sometimes only.
I need: ...to finish my letters.

The onion has been peeled. Should it be deep fried? Pan friend? How does it taste? =)

I'll let the tagging die here. Note that I won't be so kind next time. *smile*
