There’s something about The Five Senses

Woke up this morning, and found myself smacked with a ‘Five Things’ meme by a very good friend. Being the dutiful dinosaur I am, here’s five random facts about me, with regards to the five senses:


1) Sight
I suffer from amblyopia, or what is more commonly known as lazy eyes: My left vision is 250 degrees while the right is 400. A friend, who has absolutely nullus knowledge in optometry, suggested that it was probably caused by me peeping through keyholes when I was a kid. Just in case you're wondering, that is totally untrue of course, heh heh. . . .

2) Hearing
According to my annual medical examinations, I have an almost superhuman level of hearing. I’m not too sure about that, but I do know that I partake in selective hearing. For example, when a teacher commented, “You are incredibly lacking in intelligence”, I hear it as “You are incredibly intelligent” instead.

3) Smell
Nothing much to say about this one, except that the smell of Pantene shampoo turns me on. . . . . eh, please ignore what I just said.

4) Taste
I absolutely cannot stand the taste of unpolished rice. My mum used to force my sis and I to take it when we were much younger because it’s supposed to have high nutritional value or something. The ordeal, I tell you, is worse than a round of caning or two. So I was amazed to find some of my friends actually enjoying that stuff. Yucks.

5) Touch
I had my butt groped during the Millennium countdown at Suntec City. A few times. I think my assailants have bad taste because if I were to grope anyone, I would choose anyone other than a purple dinosaur with spots.


I shall now subject more people to possibly public humiliation by passing this meme to Adrienne, Green Ogre, AKK, Kim and Nadnut. On another note, I’ll be busy as hell because my finals are spread over the coming two and a half weeks. I need tuition from a nice lao shi :)
