The name's Jared. Jared Choy. So what else do you want to know?
I was born a slightly-heavier-than-normal baby boy on the 19th of August, 1987, but I actually gained consciousness when I was about 10. Yes, I'm 21 now, math nuts.
So, about my roots. Let's start from the bottom.
I can't remember my kindergarten, so let's not even go there.
Holy Innocents' Primary School. Mixed feelings about the place. Got some friends I can't seem to remember, and a few I've lost touch with. Hmmm, maybe some day I will look them up. Someday.
Then on to Zhonghua Secondary School. Most who didn't go there are probably wondering "huh? Where is that?". A little doubtful about the teachers, but I have no regrets about the friends I made there. Whenever I think about that, I still think it's more perfect than I could have ever hoped for. And it's in Serangoon, for those still wondering.
Temasek Junior College. Not what I expected JC life to be, but then again, nothing is ever what you expect it to be. I'm was in a nice class, but a weird subject combination. Physics, Maths, Econs, F Maths. Finally dropped F Maths. I have a strong suspicion the tutors there either try to ignore me or they just plain hate me. Maybe because I'm quiet... Yeah, it's the quiet ones that you should worry about.
After a few months of not doing one single thing of self-redeeming value, I found myself in Pasir Ris Camp, beginning my NS life on the path to a red beret. Even now, I still cannot figure out how I got chosen in the first place. And I'm sure many of you are wondering the same thing too.
I went on to call "Hell"don Camp my home for the remainder of my NS life, enduring through what will always be the most traumatic/excruciating/devastating experiences of my life.
Having found myself in one piece after my NS stint, I currently spend my time at home doing anything and everything NOT related to NS in ANY way(Ok mostly playing WOW, but I still do other stuff). At least not until reservist which is thankfully still not so near.
Decdud@hotmail.com is my default email. But I do have a gmail and yahoo account too, for those who never want a reply from me.
I'm a Christian. And I don't really care to count about how many ways you can worship God. Anglican, evangelist, presbyterian, catholic, protestant, whatever. See this face? It can't be bothered. Don't ask "oh, what type of Christian are you?". I'm a Christian, plain and simple. 'Nuff said.
Interests.
Playing computer games. Any kind. As long as it isn't sports.
Rock climbing. The thinking man's sport. Which is why I like it.
Listening to music. Good music, mind you. Not just any old thing.
Thinking. About all kinds of stuff. And I mean all kinds of stuff.
Reading. Whenever I can afford the time.
Movies. Again, good movies. The criteria for a movie is a plot, not a bunch of senseless people locking themselves in a house for senseless slaughter. That's a sequence of sad events, not a plot.
Anime. I'll watch it as long as it's nice. They actually contain quite a lot of interesting moral issues.
Blogging. Whenever I've got my thoughts organised enough.
Favourite movies. I'm a sucker for sequels.
Lord of the Rings. All 3 movies.
Star Wars. All 6 of them.
Harry Potter. 4 so far.
The Matrix. All 3 as well.
X Men. 3 so far.
Spiderman. Also 2 so far.
Jurassic Park. All 3.
Pirates of the Caribbean. 2 so far.
Anything from M. Night. Shyamalan. Now here's someone who knows how to write a good horror movie.
Got a few more nice movies that i cannot remember currently. I'll add them when I do.
Total Recall
