Although most of you probably think I'm totally super awesome, I do, unfortunately possess several weaknesses.
Creepy crawlies
This is a common fear among many people. I am in that group of people. I don't hate insects, but when I get close to them, I can't help but freak out. I mean, it's not their fault. I don't blame them. It's just, when they're close, and you can see their littles hairs and their little fangs, it's just ew! When they crawl on your body and it's ticklish and your body reacts by twisting and dancing. They're so gross, and I can't seem to muster the courage to just pick them up and throw them away. I don't even kill them by smacking them with a newspaper or something cos I don't want insect juices all over the place. My technique is to trap them with an empty bottle, crush it, and then recycle the bottle. Smoothness.
Poor memory
I suffer from short term memory loss. I don't really know if I do, but I like to think that I am because it solves many of my problems. I forget a lot of things. For example, when I tell someone a story, they always say 'Andy, you've already told me this story already' and I'm like 'Oh, really? Sorry...' but then the next day, I just repeat the same thing. I mean, I can't help it! I can't remember who I've told it to and who I haven't.
It's also why I forget to hand in homework.
Trust
I think this is my greatest weakness. I trust people too easily, and before I realise it, I get screwed over. Not saying any examples but I seem to instantly assume people will be good friends with me if I'm good friends with them. I had to learn the hard way that that isn't true at all. Especially girls, it always feels like I'm being lead on, only to find out it was nothing more than fiction. Recently I've been better at being more cautious of who to trust when making new friends, so if you see me kinda backing away and not talking... it's cos of that.
Fit girls
Despite what I said above, fit girls are fit. Even my friends say 'If a fit girl asked you to do something, you'd definitely do it!'. Yeah it's true, I guess, it's like, in my genes. I can't help it!

Interview at the University of Manchester
Instead of going to school yesterday, I went to Manchester instead. I just realised I wrote 'instead' twice, but it looks funny so I'm going to leave it.
Anyway, I went there with my parents because I had an interview at the university to see if they would offer me a place there to study this September. Honestly, I was a bit nervous. I don't have much experience with interviews and I didn't really know what to expect even after asking my friends and researching on the Internet.
I arrived in Manchester with my parents at around 11am. For some reason, I was daydreaming in the middle of the road. A car coming behind me had to slow down for me to realise what I was doing, and I cooly walked out the way. My cousin Beef, who already goes to that uni, came to meet me as he had just finished a morning lecture. He had to go after showing me where to go though. Oh, before that, I bought some soft mints so that the interviewer may be impressed. When I arrived at the destination, the lecturer came over and asked for my name so he could tick me off. He then asked if I was nervous and I replied 'Can't say I'm not' and he said 'I'll let you in a little secret, we've actually already considered you for an offer. The interview is just to see whether you like it or not'. I thought CHILLING!
The first part of the day required me to go on a small tour of the area surrounding the uni. I gotta say, it seemed pretty good. Very convenient. 5 minutes was all you needed to be able to walk from the building to many different shops, to the library, to the museum and the aquatics. They even had a music building where you can borrow a room to practice in, or have instrumental lessons.
My mom told me to talk to some of the other interviewees, but they all looked really nerdy. I mean, I don't mind but I just didn't feel like it. Before the interview, there were a few talks from computer science lecturers. I went up to this guy and introduced myself but I forgot his name now. He seemed like an alright guy. How come it's so easy to talk to guys but not girls?! This other larger dude came over later, and us three were the only 'acquaintances'. Everyone else was just silent. The talks went on and when I was called for the interview, I found out that my interviewer was a Chinese man. LOL. He was nicknamed KK by the students and the other lecturers for some reason. I never found out why.
For the actual interview, it was really unexpected. The only question he asked me was:
Do you have any questions to ask me?
I had more trouble thinking of questions! I just asked random things like 'How's the city? What's the course like? Are there any fit girls here?'
Alright so I didn't ask the last one, but it was just like a chat, so easy. With this offer, I now have all five offers from all the universities I applied for, which is totally super awesome! Now I just need the grades.
I can't wait to go Manchester, UNI GIRLS!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

My dream girl
I've been asked this question several times: what type of girl do you prefer? I've never given a straight answer, but after all this time, here is my reply:
According to Jam, I like girls with dyed hair. I guess this is true, most of the girls I've had a crush on do have dyed hair. Apparently I also like girls who are 'cute'. I wouldn't say that these kind of girls are my type though.
If I had to choose a girl closest to fitting my type, it would be Zara. She's a fictional character in the romantic comedy film Kissing Cousins. Portrayed by English-Indian actress, Rebecca Hazlewood, Zara is definitely the kind of girl I want to date. Honest, open and kind. She's also really cool, someone is wanna hang out with all the time. I reckon with her, not a day would be boring. Wow I did not expect so much cheese in this post.
Well, there you go. A detailed post describing my dream girl. I haven't met anyone like this yet (actually, maybe once but you'll never know who she is mwuhahaha). Obviously this doesn't mean I limit myself to what kind of girl I date, after all, you can't choose who you love. Anything could happen.
Here are some nice photos of Rebecca Hazlewood, my latest actress crush:
Spontaneous. I like girls who are spontaneous. Girls who think out of the box, who are unique and aren't afraid to show it. She is who she is and she doesn't care what everyone else thinks of her. I think that that is what appeals to me the most, a girl's confidence. I trust that is also the same for girls? Girls like confident guys.I like girls who are outgoing, unlike me. I like girls who can stand up for themselves (mostly because I can't.. just kidding). I probably sound like such a wuss now, but that isn't really the case. If I loved my girlfriend, I'd protect her will all my life. Sounds so cheesy, but it's true. Probably.
Anyway, besides her spontaneous personality, my dream girl would be pretty. I'm not gonna lie, I'm a shallow guy. I know I shouldn't, but it can't be helped. My standards aren't too high. You guys must think I'm a douche now... I'm just saying, girls should care a little about how they look, as first appearances are really important. Not so much make up that it disguises who you are, but not so little care that there's leftover pizza on your face. It's actually more difficult to explain in words. It makes so much sense in my head though. Does anyone understand me?

Some girls protected me
It happened today, at lunchtime during school. I told my friend Lexpreet to save me a space at the dinner table, as I was late to the dinner queue. When I looked for the table, it was completely full. Wow, thanks man.
I looked around desperately. I didn't want to look like a loner, so I awkwardly asked some Indian girls in the year below if I could sit with them. Obviously, that was my plan all along. Success!! I'm just kidding. I've never chilled with an all female Indian group before, so it was a new experience. In fact, I don't talk to many females, but I'm not gay. Er, anyway.
Jam randomly came up and told everybody I made a girl cry. That story is confidential so I can't really say anymore about it. To defend myself, I replied saying I cried too because I felt guilty. I got the most unexpected reaction. Jam told me later he was surprised too. The girls all went 'aww' and then defended me! By the way I'm older than them, plus I'm a guy! Can't say I'm ungrateful for them defending me, but I feel like I should be more manlier and more awesome.
Recently I've tried to be more a of a douche, but in finding that easier to say than do. The reason for this is because NICE GUYS FINISH LAST!!
Oh, I never got a chance to thank you girls for protecting me. So, thanks.

A past mistake involving a girl
I once told a girl 'you'll never get a boyfriend' and she never spoke to me again. Oh by the way, she's got a boyfriend now.

A bit about me
If you're reading this, you probably know me already. But in case you don't, or you're a new reader (I wish!) then enjoy reading this post. Actually, even if you do know me, you'll probably find this interesting to read too.
In no particular order:
Nintendo
I'm a huge Nintendo fan. Not saying I'm really big, I mean like I love Nintendo so much. My dad has bought every Nintendo home console since their first one: Famicom, even before I was born! I guess I owe it to my dad that I'm such a gamer. I can totally confirm now that I prefer the Nintendo Wii over the Sony PlayStation 3 since my bro got the PS3 for Christmas. I always get into debates about whether the Wii or PS3 is better, and it is definitely the Wii. Sure, the PS3 has 1080p HD graphics and the Wii only has 480p SD, but that's nothing. The most important thing about a game is gameplay, and the Wii has it all. Anyway, I'm not going to go into too much detail about this topic as I could go on forever.
Girls
I, really like girls. That doesn't mean I kinda like boys, it just means, I really really like girls. I'll admit, I used to be really shallow. I'm still pretty shallow now, but who can look me in the eye and say they're not? At all? I'm trying to change from that. I want to mature, and realise that it's actually not all about looks. I'd be happier with myself if I could achieve this. I think I'm off topic now. Girls are great. I appreciate girls a lot, so much that they sometimes think I'm one of them. Basically, lots of girls think I act like a girl. But men also have feminine qualities, you know?! It is for this reason that it is hard for me to get a girlfriend. I have many girl friends but I always get into the 'friend zone' so, no chance. I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong, but I hope to change this when I'm in university. It's a personal thing.
Depression
People who have known me the longest may know that I used to get depressed very easily. I'm much better now, but sometimes, I still just lie in bed and think about things, and feel sad, and listen to sad songs. I'm actually writing this post in my room without the lights on. Not cos I'm depressed, but it's like my Fortress of Solitude where I can think clearly. Anyway, this is a really deep topic which I'll leave for now.
Taylor Swift
I love Taylor Swift.
Music
I love music. It's like, a form of communication for all life. Even if two people can't speak the same language, they can bond through music. At least that's the way I think of it. Music has so many emotions: it can make you sad, it can make you happy, it can even make you angry (if it's really rubbish). I learnt to play piano when I was very young, and stopped when I entered secondary school (I was 12). Back then, and up till last year, I thought it was a good idea. I didn't like playing music which I didn't like. Instead, I thought I could self-teach. But boy was I wrong. I thought I could manage by myself but this proved to be false. Next year, I will take up piano lessons if possible.
Otaku
Otaku is the Japanese word to describe somebody with obsessive interests, usually anime or manga. I grew up watching anime like Dragon Ball Z and Pokémon. All through my life I have read countless manga comic books and watched many anime series. I buy DVD sets and collect figures and random swag. Yeah, I love Japan and I wanna go there to explore one day. I've been to one anime convention (called AnimeCon) but that was ages ago. I want to go again, but I don't have many friends who watch anime. Anyone up for it?
Making friends
I enjoy making new friends! Just a few years ago, I was shy and didn't like talking to people first, but now I think I maybe even too enthusiastic about it! When I meet someone for the first time, I may react so big to it that the other person might get shocked. Ah wells, that's just me. It's funny to think how things may have been different if you'd met me a few years ago rather than the last two years. I may not have talked to you ever again since the first conversation. Haha.
Adventure
I'm always up for an adventure! From exploring a new city to trudging through the murky swamps of the Amazon Forest! Does it even have swamps? Course, I'll probably never get the chance to do the latter, but exploring new cities is something I've always wanted to do. I want to record a video of me exploring it, so that when I'm older, I can watch it and think 'I went there and had fun'. I dunno why I would think that.
Concert
I have never been to a concert before. I've wanted to, many times, but I never listen to a song long enough to wish I could hear it live. It's because if I listen to a song and get addicted to it, I constantly listen to it and eventually get sick of it. Sad times.
Clubbing/drinking
I've wanted to join the 'cool crew' before. There's been a couple of incidents where I forced myself to drink alcohol to fit in, and one time I actually went clubbing in China just because my friends asked me to. I wasn't even old enough. I was 15. Honestly, it wasn't that bad. I don't hate drinking or clubbing, but it's just not my thing. What I'm trying to get at is that I don't like the taste of alcohol, which immediately means I don't really fit in at parties and clubs. Hence why I decline almost every invitation I get. How am I gonna cope with university?
Become famous
I've always had this dream of being famous. I don't care through which way, whether being a music producer or an artist or whatever. I just want to be known and to make myself seem significant. Maybe make a change in the world, or inspire others. Yeah, that's the ultimate dream.
By the way, I had a haircut.
