Bean doesn't like soury taste.. both metaphorically & literally too !

i don't fancy sour taste much.

i think it's safe to say i don't fancy sour taste metaphorically too!

i was telling Y abt this SDU thingy which N had tried to get me to join her in..
Y started blabbering out lotsa bullshit abt how bad it is..
this n that n wadever..

i could smell the sour taste in his mouth from a mile.... =_=|||

when i told him N said the member fee was just 10 bucks, he registered pronto!

*ps: Ooops.. i think i blogged something similar before.. but.. nvm..

Bean loves coffee but...

i love coffee..
all kinds of coffee..
i'm a easy guy with coffee..
mocha, espresso, tall, milky, double shots, even black !
just not too sweet please.. =)

but i hate coffee flavoured stuff..
coffee-flavoured milk, cakes, bread...
urgh ! =P

Bean is green not grey..

i have a hatred for robots, grey & cement.

i like green, trees and wood.

Bean is sporty & competitive..

i am very active and i would say i'm kinda SPORTY.
how else could u explain my schedule?
- jogging on tuesday night
- tennis on thursday night
- soccer in the morning followed by shopping on saturdays
- soccer on sunday

I've been into tennis for a while now..
mostly playing on thursday nights at a sports hall near home.
but i haven't gotten any proper form of coaching/training/teaching..

I finally got myself a coach whom i see often at the sports hall..
after the first lesson, i alredi feel happy with my progress !
he corrected my mistakes on my finger gripping and footing..

Reached home, AhMa nagged me lots abt the coaching fee ($50/hr)
she felt that as long as i exercise, it's good enough..
and it wasn't necessary coz playing tennis dun earn me a living..

i gently told her that i feel i needed a coach to improve.
i can't go on playing crap shit in the name of getting just a workout..
i NEEDED to improve.

Bean love positive feel-good movies like Yes Man

i love positive feel-good movies.. i feel i've benefited a lil' from adopting a Yes Man attitude

The movie, Yes Man, contains a simple ideology.

Average frustrated guy. Uptight and all.
Joins self help group. Say 'YES' at all times he's told.
Skeptical but he follows nonetheless.
He experiences many different interesting things he would nv have done before.
His life changed for the better.

Bean dislikes unwarranted excuses..

Things forcibly given when you don't need are UNWANTED.
(you just gotta chuck it somewhere..)
+
Sour grapes comments are SOUR !
(they're envious and bitter..)
+
Excuses are FRUSTRATING to swallow and accept !!
(sometimes excuses are also reasons..)
+
Naggings are so BORING to listen to/sit thru !!!
(it's the personality of your friend you've gotta learn to accept..)
=
UNWANTED SOUR, FRUSTRATING, BORING excuses make me MAD !!!!

bean loves to read..

Reading is good.
It quenches my thirst for knowledge and satisfies the questions my curiosity brings.
Surfing websites is reading. Browsing through magazines too. Newspapers is also reading. I even prefer to read subtitles off some tv shows..

It's a very useful way of passing time too.
I read regularly to and fro my journey to work.
It's a worthwhile habit to have I reckon.
Espcially for me. Not a big fan of sleeping in transit.

bean dislikes ugliness of being stingy or calculative..

It's something I grew up absolutely disliking.
It's the ugliest a person can be to me.

Haggling for prices at markets is acceptable to a certain degree with the inflation and all..
But it's just totally UNacceptable in my opinion to be calculative and stingy to your frens or family members.

I mean.. do you realli value that lil' bit of change more than u value ur fren?

bean sees the effort, not just the cost..

I value gifts of effort and heart more than the cost of the gift.

A handmade card has much more individuality & sincerity than some expensively designed bday card..

A handpicked gift which suits me perfectly spells the careful consideration taken in selecting the gift and thus shows the heart and love..

I dislike group gatherings to celebrate my bday but are not planned in anyway.. (especially those that results in big boring disappointments..)
I dislike group gifts which are hurriedly bought without careful considerations.
The gift will be classified as one that shows pretense of heart.

ie. oh, it's ur bday. oh, we need a gift. oh, let's just get u this. coz it solves our dilemma of choosing the gift. if it's sincere, just a good gathering without a gift would do more to feel loved..

*ps: maybe it's me.. maybe i hv higher demands for friends? but this is how i feel.. and sometimes i dunno how to express myself in a way which ain't myself. i've always been wearing my mood on my face to my real frens.. i realli dun mean to show my disappointment to my fellow mates in the past and i'm realli still glad the thought of it is present. =)

bean pushes hard for what he has faith in..

i push hard. in things i do which i hv faith in.
i'm get realli competitive in sports and stuff i'm good and confident about.
sometimes i see myself dying from a stroke of over-exertion. lol..

bean vehemantly feels slping is a waste of time

I feel that I want to get more out of myself everyday.
That 24 hours a day realli ain't enough.. especially wkends.. LOL
Therefore, I often stay up till late.. still playing or chitchatting with frens..

I dun sleep more than 6 hours on a normal night.
*ps: By normal, I mean a normal working week night.
Even on most nights when I do sports, I still sleep just as little. LOL
That said, I do have quite a slack job la.. ROFL..

Bean is determined. Not stubborn.

It's a fine line that seperates determination from stubborn.

That deciding factor is often the outcome.

If the outcome is a success, ppl say you're determined and it paid off.
If the outcome is a failure, ppl say you're stubborn and hadn't read the signs.

I believe this is all very vague and grey. How do anyone know it won't eventually work out? No ones been able to travel to the future and see it for themselves. Moreover, an accidental kicking of a pea could still change the future according to the sci-fi movies..

Who decides the time limit? Of course it's the one trying to do something. So don't give up just coz ppl say it's wrong coz they think otherwise.. you decide your own fate. success or failure..

determination or stubborness..?
they're all the same actually..

Bean is open-minded..

i loved the movie, Yes Man.

it's a real feel-good movie with a positive message.

I believe that everything is doing at least once.
It may not be what you might enjoy.. but at least u've experienced it first hand.
Nothing's more tragic than forever basing ur facts on the past adventures of others..

live your own life.
not just read the experience of others..

Bean is optimistic.. with an open mind..

The glass may appear half full or half empty to others..

But to me,
the glass is half-filled with water & half-filled with air.

We shouldn't neglect/assume nothing is present when we are the one with the incapability to see what's there..

This or that?

Bean is indecisive.

Nothing to do is bad (to me).

Bean wouldn't like a job of sitting in an empty room with nothing to do all day even if it pays lots.

Kiasee.. Fear of death..

according to a fb quiz, my phobia is the fear of dying. i reckon it might be true in a way coz i'm always wanting to learn/experience/enjoy life more than i have done up to this stage of my life and i dun think it should end just yet..

Dwelling..

Bean dwells a lot. sometimes it becomes dilly dally. sometimes it becomes sentimental. or maybe it is nostalgic too. it's many things..

Not a vocal person

Bean's not a vocal person.

you'll never find him screaming across the crowded shopping mall at you even if he sees a familiar face. Rather just check ur mobile if you thought u saw him see u a while back.. coz if he did, it's way more likely that he has texted u then scream your name out aloud.

Bean is very nostalgic..

Bean is very nostalgic.. sometimes i wonder if that's why i have a weird memory. i remember things that happened to me a while back much better and more vividly rather than happenings in the very recent past. This is making me very prone to making mistakes.

Sometimes i would be making a mental note that I must do this then that. but sometimes as i try to think of more stuff i needa do, i forgot the this and that.

Bean dislikes ppl who say one but do another..

Bean dislikes ppl who say one but do another.. Therefore in my life, i'll always try my best not to be such a person. Self reflect often and judge oneself.. dun wanna carry on making a mistake i dun wanna make..

I dislike ignorant ppl..

I dislike ignorant people who caused a great deal of inconveniences for others and gets off easy on the conscience 'coz they are too ignorant/inconsiderate to reflect and realize..

An example is people that suddenly stop and block off the escalator pathways of crowded mrt stations 'coz of some stupid reason like to pick up a phone call, to dig your hand bag looking for your fare card or waiting for a friend who is slightly behind in the crowd/queue. A few minutes apart from your friend won't KILL! DON'T BLOCK THE WAY! SCRAM!

I dislike rushing..

I do not like to rush.. thus developing this habit of taking my own sweet time.. I certainly hope I haven't annoy anyone in the process.. Although it does result in me being late too often for my liking.. I'm grateful and lucky for my friends whose accepted my flaws..

To get to work on time, I wake up a whooping two and a half hours before the time to report for work although my traveling time only takes 30 minutes. Sometimes I still end up late for 15 mins. (which, thankfully, is perfectly ok at my work place..)

I can't stop thinking..

I can't stop my brain from thinking..

except when i am sleeping?

or when i'm knocked unconscious?

or if i'm in a coma..?

or if i'm dead..?

i think..

I'm impatient..

I'm impatient even to wait for myself to finish the jog, so i jog faster!
