I’ve decided to take part in a blog challenge as mentioned previously, where I am going to write 10 posts in 10 days. Today is Day 1 and I’m going to reveal 10 Secrets.
10 Secrets About Me.
1/ I am a social butterfly; who is just as happy to stay in the cocoon. I can quite reserved, stay-to-myself when left outside of a social ambiance. My mother says I’m the most anti-social social person she has ever met (or social yet asocial person as my mate PK puts it)
2/ It kills me that I don’t have a better relationship with my father. I try to talk to him but there’s really nothing to talk about. Maybe that’s the problem. We’ve spent so long not talking – neither knows how to actually start talking.
3/ Sometimes I feel like I have disappointed my father. He doesn’t need to say it. It comes off in his approach to me. He would have been happier if I was a banker or worked the conventional corporate role.
4/ I used to be super shy to dance in front of a crowd / group until the age of 17. Now I’m a true diva on the dance floor.
5/ I used to sing in the school choir and did a lot of solo stuff too. Then I graduated high school and went to university. Now I almost get stage-fright if you ask me to crank on the karaoke. A few Vodka Redbulls help the anxiety.
6/ I never attended my university graduation. I had flown from London to Montreal to attend; but I got snowed in due to a storm. I hung out with my boys Kimo & JA the whole day at Kimo’s flat. (they were gonna attend the ceremony with me)
7/ I’m scared of Fish. Yup lil’ fishes. I would probably fly out of the water if a fish swam near me. I banged my head against a catamaran in Mauritius when my mate HA threw breadcrumbs over me whilst I was snorkelling. I was practically attacked by a school of yellow & black striped fish ! And don’t even get me started on my reaction to the fish spa treatment I had in Thailand !
8/ I want to go diving with sharks and whales. Yes I know I just said I am scared of fish (the little ones) – not the cool ones like sharks and whales. I almost swam with a humpback whale in Mauritius but since my clients were on board – I had to be responsible and sit back.
9/ I can be an extremely emotionally detached from people; especially if they have f*cked me off. I am able to shut everything out and go on as if ‘this new way’ is the norm. Are you the type that can forgive ? forget ? or just f*ck it ?
10/ It’s really hard to share secrets ! There are still some things which I could have shared but I couldn’t do it. I know you guys won’t think much of it – but its still difficult for me. I keep a lot of things to myself; I even have conversations in my mind if I think it’s too much to do with someone else.
There you have it folks – 10 of my secrets. Now it’s YOUR turn ! What’s your secret ? Feel free to share your secrets in the comments or share the link to your secret post.

#9 alas it's true - I do mean that .. I've been there, done that and haven't really thought about it again. Those close to me will tell you that despite being such a social person, I'm also a very detached person. I can tolerate a lot; but once I hit my tolerance threshold, I'm capable of just detaching and cutting people off. It may not be a good thing, it may not be a healthy option, but it works for me.
Just went to your blog, looking forward to reading more :) enjoyed the post on 'the look in your eyes'

I almost started reading your 9 loves but I though I'd better write mine first before getting influenced by yours. I enjoyed this insight. Thumbs up!

Reading your 10 secrets confirms what I thought all along, you're a gem of a person. Doing your own thing is the best thing to do. Nothing wrong in being social. Regarding your father, in case you feel you should go and speak to him, just go ahead and do it. You'll feel better and the monkey would be off your back. All in all you're a rockstar !
