Coming out of the closet

There's much about my life to be embarassed about. Things I wish could be buried forever, then again, I have remarkable disinterest in my self-image. Without further ado, here they are:

1) I am supremely 无聊. I kid you not, when I am bored which generally occurs on a working Saturday (and I use 'working' in the loosest sense of the word) especially when my boss is notaround, I do extremely boliao things. Like now, I am blogging at my office work station. Anyway, this morning, I had nothing to do, so I went to my office HR & admin IC and asked her what is company's policy on psychiatric treatment, whether it is covered by our medical benefits and what are the leave entitlements with regards to it. Of course I asked her in a low monotone that seems to connotate my inability to conceal some deep grief or depression. Then she looked so shocked and started to ask what happened to me etc. Then a couple of colleagues near her also looked up and wondered what was going on.

2) I am a closet mat rocker. I hate to admit it but I can't deny it any further. When I was young-er and didn't know better, I used to listen to Skid Row, Candlebox, Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins (pre-Mellon Collie and the infinite sadness) all the time. However I have left that behind for the past 6 years, or so I thought. Lately, as some long forgotten emotions of angst and discontentment surfaced in my life, some familiar tunes started ringing in my head again. Things came to a pass when I bought a CD with the title Vintage Rocks which just as well could read, Mat Rock Essentials or the Mat Anthology. Good grief, hope I am not taken back in time to the age of big hair bands and never ending self-glorifying solos.

3) I like tequila. Not tequila as in Inspector Tequila ala Hard Boiled but that cheap tasting liquor. Ya ya, I know, in anycase, taste is subjective.

4) I have uncle taste. Then again, this is not so much in the closet afterall, my friend regularly calls me 大叔. As I look at the Ashworth polo T I am wearing together with my uncle sandals, man, I must look 35 at least. Maybe I should start humming a 李克勤 or 陈百强 tune to complete the image. Incidentally, did you know that I actually like quite a number of Hokkien tunes and I like to drink coffee at hotel lounges?

5) I am exceedingly bitchy. Ok, if you didn't already know this, you don't know me, at all.
