Miguel 101
Got nothing much to do? Well, here's a list of rarely-noticed details about me, so you can have fun reading through if you're really that bored. See which ones you've already figured out. (Do take note that this list is listing defaults, so if they don't appear when they're suppose to don't panick.)
1) Miggy looks at his watch often with the watch at his eye-level, not wit his head tilted down. He has a personal reason for this.
2)He loves ships. His favourite ship would be the Vamley, a French Naval Sails Ship of the 18th Century which is still currently the largest wooden battleship ever built. THis interest for ships would explain Point 12
3) He holds his wallet like a pistol when he draws it out of his pocket.
4) Whenever having a conversation with another individual while walking, he only looks 45 degress towards the person instead of staring at the person directly. This is to avoid walking into road barriers during the conversation.
5) Any slingbag he wears is always worn on his left shoulder to his right waist.
6) The zipper for those slingbags (if any) are zipped forward to the front of him.
7) He closes his bags by zipping the zipper to the side of the bag, not the center.
8) For a rough estimate of his mood, check the hole which his watch is strapped to. If it's in the First Hole, he's more or less alert and ready to work (class, duties, etc.); if it's in the Second Hole, he's in a calm and relaxed mood but is ready for any action coming his way; and if it's the Third Hole, he's serious and is ready to take on the tough (i.e. canoeing).
9) Tense muscles may accompany the Third Hole if strapped in the morning.
10) From Point 8 and 9, you can tell that if you see him adjusting his watch, it means that he's changing his mood.
11) Unless in an energency situation, the watch always stays on his left wrist, exceptions being when he's timing his laps during training or bathing.
12) When standing, there are momments with him swaying slightly sideways.
13) He whiffs his hair to the right at intervals.
14) He scrolls his fingers on his right hand at intervals.
15) He rubs the bridge of his nose using his right thumb and index finger at interval.
16) He loves chocolate, so don't be surprized if you see him running after a MilkyBar.
17) For chocolates, his favourite would be milk chocolate, while his least would be dark chocolate (he's allergic to dark chocolate).
18) He walks with heavy footsteps, but can easily change into silet footsteps at will.
19) At a certain point of either excitement or dissapointment, he'll act as if he's holding a sword (notice his right hand for this one).
20) He tries to snap his fingers when he has another interesting song in his head.
21) Personally composed songs from his head only last for at maximum of 10 minutes up there. Very few songs have actually survived for more than a couple of days, and only three made it through a month (Island 52, The Danny Way and Western Freedom).
22) His most favourite subject is Mathermatics, although his best lectural subject is History and his best practical subject is Art.
23) He cannot pay attention to hard work for more than 20 minutes at temperatures below 20 degrees.
24) He has never lifted a fist out of anger on anyone in his entire life.
25) The fiercest he ever went in anger was to whack someone with a hard stick.
26) The fiercest he ever went with innocent intentions, though, would be when he tackled someone down during his first P.E. lesson on Monkey Ball.
27) The 'u' in Raemiguel is silent. So for those who always pronounce, "Raemigwel", it would be kindly appreciated if it stopped. But no worries, I'm still use to being called the latter.
28) As of this day, there were only three periods in his life which he was referred to as 'Miguel': Primary 1, which Ms. Lee used the term; Primary 5-6, which Yu Song tried using; and mid-Sec 1-present, which Tim and Mr. Ang are still using. It's a surprise to him that more people are now addressing him as 'Miguel', but he doesn't mind as long as the 'Rae' is remembered still.
29) He can't read music scores. Instead, he learns how to play certain songs on the piano purely by ear and memory.
30) The first completed piano score he learnt was Doh, Rae, Mee, while his most advanced score would be He's A Pirate.
31) He runs faster in groups than when all alone.
32) His favourite animal is the typical house cat. Meow.
33) He has acted in a couple of church musicals, attended the Act 3 Academy twice and even had a chance with the Singapore Repertory Theatre and an audition for a role in the local musical, The Forbidden City. Unfortunately, he lost contact with SRT when they moved location so I never had that chance in the end. The exams were around the corner during that time anyway, so I guess nothing was lost.
34) He sleeps with a bolster, which he names Finchy. Right, Finchy? (*nods bolster*)
35) He was once a hard-core Roald Dahl fan. This would explain why he has half a library shelf worth of RD books in his room, and also why he went Wonka during the release of the movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
36) With the exception of trainings, he laughs lightly in between sets of push-ups.
37) Whenever calling his house, never ask for "Rae". The response you would probably recieve from the other end would be something like;
"Well, there are four 'Rae's in this family. Which would you like? The father, the son or either daughters?"
38) His taste buds are more sensitive to the acidic effect of chili and pepper than the average person.
38) His taste buds are more sensitive to the acidic effect of chili and pepper than the average person.
38) He has tasted almost every kind of wine moderately available. All appreciated.
39) Beer, on the other hand, only had three different brands to sucessfully reach him. Two had his approval of satisfaction.
40) The largest drawing he has ever drawn as of today would be a ful army bunker design he drew on a classroom whiteboard during the point10 Camp in school. Drawing was approved by Mr. Tay.
41) The smallest drawing was of a dinosaur drawn to the scale of an old Singaporean 1-cent coin. A magnifying glass was used in the process.
42) The first comic srtip he drew was about a mishap of a basketballer. It was previewed at Primary 6. Name of comic and character not specified for personal and social reasons.
43) His favourite categorey of music is the Soul Family. This includes Jazz, Rythem 'n' Blues and Gospel.
44) Do not go strict on Point 43, though. He is flexible to almost any type of music and is able to appreciate them all. His only extents would be the most dragged tip of Rap and the most demonic end of Heavy Metal. (Note: He doesn't mind Rap nor Heavy Metal, just that he doesn't like Rap WITH too much drag and Heavy Metal WITH demonic screaming.)
45) Musicals, being a combination of both music and drama, has been very well appreciated by him. Types of music involved can vary from as Traditional as the Forbidden City, to as Modernised as High School Musical.
46) He has low-tolerance for the squeakiness of styrofoam. He doesn't mind holding it or cutting it or breaking it, but when you sratch it he softens a lot.
47) He jerks back before he starts crossing a traffic-light junction.
48) His favourite colour is Navy Blue, for probably obvious reasons.
49) His favourite number is 8 (Number of New Beginning), followed by 7 (Number of Finished Works), then 5 (Number of Favour).
50) With the exception of Life Science Practicals and 10 minutes before LS Prac lessons, he wears his laboratory coat without putting on the sleeves.
