I do remember wanting to do this though.<\/p>\n<p><b>1) I don&#8217;t like carrying things with my hands<\/b><\/p>\n<p>When walking about in a shopping mall, I&#8217;d rather hang the plastic bag (if it&#8217;s a small item like say <i>Lays Stax Salt &amp; Vinegar<\/i> that doesn&#8217;t fit in a pocket) from my camera belt pouch.<\/p>\n<p><b>2) My accent changes<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I am truly Malaysian. I am so lacking of a distinct Chinese identity. I sound Malay and Indian sometimes. I talk loudly like an Ah Beng. I dress like a Malay and I have long rocker hair. I sound Indian and call people &#8220;<i>deyyy<\/i>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p><b>3) I practice all my lines to a telephone while you were sleeping<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Well, not exactly to a phone, but sometimes, a future conversation plays in my head. It&#8217;s like I&#8217;m getting ready my lines for you. If I do talk to myself (alone that is) it&#8217;s not a case of imaginary friends. It&#8217;s a case of me imagining that my friends are there!<\/p>\n<p><b>4) I avoid touching handles when pushing doors<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d also love to be able to pull doors without touching the handle, but I&#8217;m no Spiderman. Everyone knows, from antibacterial spray advertisements, that the most germs live on doorknobs and handles. So, I usually push it with the side of my elbow. (Do you ever touch your elbow? Compare that to using your hands, where hand-foot-mouth diseases can then reach your mouth.) I&#8217;m sure I annoy glass window\/door cleaners.<\/p>\n<p><b>5) I can&#8217;t make most bodily sounds<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t voluntarily burp. Heck, I don&#8217;t even burp often. I can&#8217;t snap my fingers. I can&#8217;t whistle.<\/p>\n<p>However, I can crack my knuckles, and at times I wish I had a muffler, if you know what I mean.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of tagging, I&#8217;ll put some funny links: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.noisebot.com\/t-shirts_hoodies_tote_bags?gad=CK-pspwCEgjc1_HKCCGw1Rix_rX9AyDX5JgU\" target=\"_BLANK\">Funny T-shirts<\/a>, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cheston.com\/pbf\" target=\"_BLANK\">Perry Bible Fellowship<\/a>, funnier and wackier than Bizarro, with amazing artwork that changes style often.
