Recently, I have prodded a few friends to find out about my first impression on them. One common answer from all of them is I’m talkative. Is that a good 1st impression?

*besides yacking, i can doodle & take nice photos as well ma ^_^

Yes, I do agree that I yack a lot but mostly on some nonsensical musing and also my 3 cents-worth of lame jokes. Whenever an intellectual conversation takes place, I’ll have difficulty voicing out my opinion, it’s as the cat's got my tongue. Often times I’m worried that people might not take me seriously due to my goofiness. It might be surprising to know that I actually prefer listening than talking because I have very sensitive ears :)

Last Monday morning, a very good friend of mine, Merry Martha, became a snatch-theft victim. Fortunately, the thieves failed miserably in their vile act due to Merry Martha’s unwavering determination to cling tightly to her bag. Apart from a few small bruises and some mental scars, I can safely say she's all right. Sigh… snatch-theft is still a major problem in Malaysia, what can we do ya?

To all my kengkawan yang dikasihi, please be cautious when you are walking down the street, OK.

Be vigilant & Be safe. Take care ^_^

Regarding first impression, I'll be honest with you, I like you, and your lameness... and your thoughtfulness... and your lukisans... boleh tak macam tu? Psssst! If you are talkative, then nyonya leh?? Kakaka...

jl ... my first (and so far, only) impression of you is that you are vivacious. I'd like to think of you as enjoying a good conversation, and having fun. While being lame. =)

As for snatch thefts ... I hate those cowardly bastards. My mum was a victim of that some years back. She too, fought, and gave them nothing, but she got some facial and hand injuries.
