Allow me...

My name is Juliana Ng H.H. What the H.H. means, you'll just have to wonder on your own. It adds a little mystery to myself, I think, and I like that. I am, I assure you, 100% female, in case anyone wasn't sure. I'm also younger than most people think, but age shouldn't mean a thing. It shouldn't, but does give a first impression, nonetheless. Rather than deal with that, I'm just going to stick with my "no-age" policy. It's worked so far, anyway.

I like to think I'm unique by just being who I am. Whether I conform or don't conform to anything is something I care less about now. If I like something, I like something -- not because everyone else does, or because everyone else doesn't! Sometimes I wonder at all the effort people put in trying not to be "normal"... but in the end, isn't that some sort of a trend one joins? Be who you are. That's what should be normal. That's what we should be embracing, rather than fearing or distorting. Me... I'm a perfectly normal neurotic psychopath; what's so complicated about that?!

I am human, 100% guaranteed, refunds not necessary. I'm imperfect in every way possible. I can cry, I can laugh, I can feel pain and I can feel joy. I can be hurt and I can cause hurt. I can...and I have. Cut me and I bleed. Irritate me, and I'll snap your head off. I try, and sometimes I suceed, sometimes I fail. I am vulnerable as you are, and if you think you're not vulnerable in any way, consider waking up. I think, although not necessarily logically. I make mistakes. I fear. I dare. I smile. I frown. I just am.

Ah! But I've gone off on a tangent...

But to answer the question of "who am I" isn't easy, is it.

Let's try and stick with the basics.

I still am addicted to the 'net, but I am not its slave. Figure that one out yourself. Mostly, I like learning what I can do with the 'net (this webpage and then some) and I like keeping in touch with friends.

My working experience with the International Correspondence Institute ended in Mard 1997. I doubt I'll return, though I owe much to my experiences there. Currently, I'm a full-time student pursuing a degree in Computing and Information Systems, though I'm considering a switch in my major. Multimedia, mebbe. I'm fascinated with how people work (their emotions, their fears, their hopes...) and why that is so. I'm less interested in what the medical or hard-core science say, and am more interested in the understanding that comes from compassion, empathy or just a little bit of stepping out of yourself and into someone else's shoes.

Reading is still a wonderful experience to me, but I do so with caution. I find I can't abandon myself so frequently, though I often wonder why. If you have a good book to recommend, though, by all means, do! I'll get to it.. sooner or later. :)

I enjoy having fun. Spending time with friends. Laughing at myself. Taking a moment of quiet just for me.

I still like chocolate.

I consider humor to be important in life; and if it doesn't, it ought to rank up there next to love. So, there should be no surprise I like to laugh.

I continue to admire wit and the ability to think for oneself.

I like music as simply music, and do not follow closely to any one group or singer or type of music; but I don't doubt its power. After all, I envy those with musical talent.

I like a cool autumn day, or better yet, a cool drizzle on an autumn day. I like how the colors turn on the trees... and how they sway to the beats of rain drops.

The night is mine, and I, hers.

I value imagination, even the outrageous, unbelievable or illogical.

I adore my dog.

I am also a romantic deep down, and if you think that's just chocolate and candle-lit dinners.... My response to you would be "Eh."

I am also Christian, and if that bothers you, tough.

I still don't like cockcroaches, or flying beetles.

And I feel bad about indifference, arrogance, ignorance ... I can say I detest those attributes, but I also know that I have been and probably will be 'guilty' at some time or another. I also consider selfishness to be 99% potentially B.A.D. ...especially when it's hurtful.

I can't dance. That's just a fact of life.

Heatwaves without air-conditioning are my undoing: irritable, whiney and just plain unpleasant. I don't see anything glorious about temperatures akin to inside an oven.

The daytime and I treat each other cordially; but that's it. Mornings know that if I can help it, I would kindly keep away.

I am not the neatest person in the world.

I wish I was more creative.

I hate 'wasting time' traveling.

"Screechy" sounds have a good chance of invoking unnatural facial expressions.

When I can't say something I want on the second or third try, I'm prone to make unnatural sounds.

I am, when it gets down to it, lazy... but by some miracle, I do get things done.

With everyday trends, like music, tv, movies or fashion... I have these "voids" in which I'm totally out-of-date.
