100 Pieces of Me

Inspired by Cheryl =)
*Deep Breaths*

1. My name, Bowie, was named after the famous English artist, David Bowie.
2. I was borned on 26th of October, year 1987. 26th Oct is the 299th (or 300th in leap years) day of the year in Gregorian Calendar.
   
3. I was borned and raised in Penang.
   
4. My dad was a big fan of David Bowie back in the 70s to 80s.
5. However, I'm not a fan of David Bowie though, not even a bit.
6. When I was 3, I was able to recognize every car's name and model (cars that were available that time being).
7. The real reason why I'm interested in piano is not because I loved piano from the very beginning, but it was my mum and my aunt's advise.
   
8. My aunt said:" Bowie just look at your fingers, they are so slim. You could put some good use on'em if you are to play piano. " I was then attracted to piano.
9. I have a younger brother named Bolie, his name rhymes after mine.
   
10. I have my dad's smile, while my younger brother has my mum's.
11. My mum and dad used to be my best playmates before my mum gave birth to my younger brother.
    
12. I was insanely jealous when my mum and dad needed some *ahem* privacy because I feared that I might be lonely and no one would play with me.
13. I refused to leave my mum's side for the better part of my childhood.
14. My dad raised my interest in English songs and other related stuffs.
15. He failed to raise my interest in tennis though. But he did raised my younger brother's.
16. I always feel glad because my dad trained my fluency in English language while he sent me to Chinese school, just to make sure I possess good commands of English and Chinese languages, which turns out I am.
17. I still think about the friends I made when I was attending primary school.
18. I had my first crush in primary school. Her name is Lee Cheng Cheng.
19. I saw her at a tuition class when I was in secondary school. Turns out I still have a crush on her on that particular moment.
    
20. I got into the secondary school that I never wanted to attend. How so, it was then I met the best friends of my life.
21. I can always recall how I got to know my best buddy, Jerwin. Who is also my duet partner.
    
22. I met him on a night when I was helping my dad for car wash. He was walking pass right in front of my house and I greeted him. He was my classmate but that's when I got to know his name and knowing that he actually lived on the same street with me!
23. He raised my interest in guitar when we were in form 3.
24. We used to sing and play guitar in front of his house every evening.
25. I got my first guitar when I was form 3, too.
26. I learned how to play guitar by applying the concepts of piano on it, it worked!
    
27. I had my first fight when I was in form 2, I forgot how it started. The person I was fighting with was Khor Y Chun. We ended up shaking hands to each other and "dude, u okay?" because it was about time to attend Science class and we have to go to the lab.
    
28. That was when I got to realize the meaning of the chinese saying "不打不相识" (You never fight, you'll never know).
29. I met my first girlfriend when I was 18. Her name is Rachel Lydia Low. She was part of my sweetest memories.
30. I was attracted to her pinky cheeks, well, face too.
    
31. We used to love Baskin Robbins so much as BR represents Bowie and Rachel, and we loved its ice creams.
32. My love for Baskin Robbins's ice cream remained still.
33. Life was perfect, when she brought out the best of me. I miss it.
34. I used to sing 'You Are My Sunshine' with her, she was my best duet partner and that song was our best performance.
    
35. I love giving advice. I'm great at it, too. It's like a magic trick I don't know the secret behind, the answers just come to me.

44. I've been in a relationship twice, but in love only once.
45. I believe my soulmate is somewhere out there holding one end of an invisible string. I am holding the other.

47. In fact, I'm fond of people who don't pretend.
    
48. I find solace in knowing there is a purpose.

76. When I read before bed, I pretty much fall asleep.
77. I was shocked in the sophomore of my diploma, when a not-quite-popular girl in my class stood up and said 'I want to be popular'. I always thought the idea was to rise up and kill the popular kids. Does a Jew want to be a Nazi?

90. For me, the 9/11 spectacle was like a near-death experience. It made me loosen up, live for the moment, take more chances, because I could die any time. I don't understand why it had the opposite effects on everyone else.
91. I prefer something that is hidden than something that is obvious.
92. I am a true Scorpio.

94. I always wanted to travel across the globe on foot, with a group of friends, after civilization collapses.
95. I have been toying with the idea of going to some unknown and disconnected place and living there for a few months in the midst of nature. Too impractical right now though.

97. I am ALSO kind, smart, funny, imaginative, empathetic, practical, creative, loving, conscientious, and optimistic.
98. I believe it takes a long time to know a person. So this list is insufficient for you to know me. Anyhow I hope you aren't falling asleep reading this.
