When were you happiest?

After a good run or a well-played football game; muscles aching, sweat dripping, tired as hell

What is your greatest fear?

Dying without living

A hodge podge of memories from the Kajang days. Perhaps of my mum not wanting to pick me up because she was pregnant with Angah. That would make me.. about 2 and a half.

What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?

Emotion

What is the trait you most deplore in others?

Dishonesty.

Plane tickets to Malaysia. Or maybe, my sanity, really.

What is your most treasured possession?

My memories

What would your super power be?

The ability to make things right.

My arms. Or my inability to look smart in anything, even a proper suit.

Who would play you in the film of your life?

What is your guiltiest pleasure?

Sleep. And reading when I’m supposed to be working.

What do you owe your parents?

Genes.

What is the worst job you’ve ever done?

At a photocopy joint post SPM. Not as much as the job itself, but the fact that I couldn’t relate to anyone else there. I was such a loser.

Not going ahead with my dream to make it to Oxbridge.

Who would you invite to your dream dinner party?

Angelina Jolie.

‘I wish I never had you.’

To whom would you most like to say sorry, and why?

To my parents for the disappointments I will cause.

What does love feel like?

Like love.

Which living person do you most despise, and why?

Despise is a strong word, but I have no time for fake politicians.

Which words or phrases do you most overuse?

It varies. “Does that make sense?” and “Pergh” are current faves.

If you could edit your past, what would you change?

As a function of who I am today, nothing, really. Things have a way of working out.

With friends, over countless glasses of teh tarik.

Whichever.

Every time I stop breathing.

Lots of money!

What is the most important lesson life has taught you?

That sometimes however good you are, it won’t be enough, but that’s okay.

Where would you most like to be right now?

In a hammock on a beach, with a book, and a football game on the cards later.
