About me and my cronies

Name: Ski

AKA: The Goddess of sparkly things, unexpectability and random booty calls.

Nick or handles in highschool/college/home: Sammie, Ski, Sukey, Sayuki Matsui, Ski Matteo, Tenna, Icequeen, Flasher, Kinky Ski. There's actually a funny story behind that. No, it's not really that funny. Due to a bruise of dubious nature on my neck, my classmates took it as a hickey and you know the rest.

Name to be used in the presence of the Goddess: Ski is fine.

Action/position to be used when approaching the Goddess: Put your hands to a "wai" and touch your forehead with the tips of your fingers (eyes closed!) and bend your knees. Don't know what a "wai" is? Haven't you been to Thailand? Yeesh.
Of course, if you are a strawberry blond, blue eyed cutie (6'1, broad shoulders, disarming smile, plays b-ball really well, nicely built and likes to run around in his undies), then all ya gotta do is lie on top of me. Har har.

Hair color: It's black. Occasionally looks brown.

Eye color: Maroon brown eyes. Like the good Dr. Lecter. They say people with this eye color have a family history of violence and mental disorders.

Distinguishing marks: I don't freckle or tan so I'm pretty pale for an Eurasian. I also got fangs! Dunno how that happened though.

Hobbies: Collecting comics, manga and anime, sleeping, eating, daydreaming, basketball, guys.

Loves: Singing silently to the songs playing in me head, reading comics/novels/newspapers/magazines/periodicals, playing with my lovely little brothers, learning Japanese (I am so bad, it's beyond embarassing), watching cartoons/animation, writing weird fiction, those perfect guys who aren't real (sob), the X Files duo of Mulder and Scully with all the crazy people around them, snow, kitties, little children (they're soo cute!), Brakky-Wakky!, Patamon, Sendoh Akira (sigh), Kyle Rayner (sigh again!), David Duchovny (on the verge of tears here), chokies, beautiful and environmentally safe cars, cute guys with cool cars... and I better stop before someone complains.

Hates: When my little brothers sing "I got a man. What's your man got to do with it?!" and I realize I haven't got a man... And scary words like the "c" word. I'm not going to tell you what it is, though. I'll give you a clue, it usually goes hand in hand with the word (shudder) "relationship". I hate Racists, discriminatory practices. Math. School. My little sister. Losing. Fruitcake and stale chokies (although I will try to eat them cos they look harmless). Spiders and other icky insects. Men who cheat. People who ought to be in jail but are back on the streets because they had enough money to cheat the system. Not being able to have money.

Favourite drink: Lord, I am so partial to Diet Coke. I don't drink it everyday but when I've got a choice... It's hard trying not to drink sodas, especially if the only drink in the house is orange juice and you're allergic to it.
Now actually, my favourite drink is Lipton Iced Tea - Green Tea and Honey. Mmm... oishii.

Favourite food: Ooh... Penang Laksa! Yeah! It's the best. I love Japanese, Thai, Nyonya, Szechuan and Penang food the best. Penang, Malaysia is the best place to eat. After Thailand, of course.

Where I am based and thus where Pygmalion, inc is: Well, right now I live in Los Angeles, Cali. Cali luv, ya'll! Right, and Pygmalion is.. in limbo. See, the Goddess with the funny French name who does a lot of the work, lives in Berkeley.

Places I have lived: Thailand! Woo! Stayed there (shuttled to and fro, actually) in a quiet seaside place called Songkhla for four years. Haven't learnt a word. Songkhla is really close to the Malaysian border, about two hours if you drive above the speed limit (nasty habit of my parents). Songkhla has got awesome cheap, delicious food. The beach is.. eh.. but if you take a ferry to one of the smaller islands nearby, you can stay at the hotel resorts and just lounge around on the hot, white sandy beach all day.
When I was but a wee child I lived in Bucharest, Romania. The best part of my childhood memories were of this place. (Dan Petrescu's a babe ^_^) I went to school at the American International School of Bucharest and even carried the UN flag in kindergarden on UN Day. My favourite time there was when it snowed and our swimming pool was snowed in. That was awesome.
I spent my pre-teens years in the Philippines, going to school at ISM. I love the Phils, I met the coolest people there. My littlest brother was born there too.
Lastly, I lived in Malaysia. I'm a Penang girl, although I was born in KL. Penang, although, slightly boring, is the coolest place. It's where tons have happened to me and I rediscovered my love for manga and discovered basketball. The greatest people became my friends. Oh and it's where I got corrupted (nods at Goddess of Art, Goodies and Wrath).
It feels hokey to say this but:
MALAYSIA BOLEH!
And let me get carried away with this moment...I'm a graduate of Uplands International School of Penang. So, we kicked your ass Garden School! Oh and a note to Dalat: We could have won that basketball match and you know it, ya cheating bleepers!

Other weird stuff about moi: My accent's pretty weird. It's more of an American accent, sprinkled with a couple of British enunciation and words. See, that's what happens when you keep alternating between British and American schools. Anyway, I spell words usually either/or. You know, sometimes the American spelling, sometimes the British. I do that just to mix people up. And sometimes I make compromises like "lorrytruck". But not in the case of this: IT'S FOOTBALL NOT SOCCER YOU BLOODY AMERICANS. Sorry.. It's.. it's a bit of an emotional topic. Maybe I'll talk about it one day.
CHELSEA RULZ! (sings the themesong) Yeah, in your face Manchester!

Fave cusswords: Ooh, I just love the F word. Yeah. My dad says "bloody sh*t" a lot. I used to have the visual of crap draped in blood when I was younger.

Well enough about me. What about my cronies?
