50 Things I'm a Sucker For
As most of you (should) know, all in all, I am not a very pleasant person. I'm pretty jaded and have no interest in most things in life. It's pretty sad. But recently, I got to assessing my life...and I've come to realize that, maybe, I'm not as unpleasant as I want to be. There ARE some things that make me as happy as a 5 year old child. So, in no particular order, here are 50 things I'm a sucker for:
1) Ugly men - the more the merrier. *Note - being fat is a definite bonus*
2) "Transform" movies. I.e. those where the protagonist undergoes an unexpected, yet expected, positive transformation, may it be physically or emotionally - I prefer the physical...because I'm shallow (think Princess Diaries, Sister Act 2, Take the Lead, and most movies that feature inner city kids)
3) Pretty girls. No joke.
4) Coffee
5) People who make my coffee
6) Machines that make my coffee
7) The 50's, the 70's, and the 80's
8) Taschen books
9) Shopping for records
10) Bass guitarists
11) Kung Fu movies
12) Harbors, especially the Hong Kong one of course
13) Educational computer games
14) Expensive things
15) TV series where, as my mom puts it, you can predict the ending just from the opening theme song sequence (i.e. TVB series). That's right - I don't like surprises
16) Alfresco dining (e.g. South Street Seaport, NYC)
17) Music I don't understand (esp. Brazilian)
18) Skyscrapers
19) The World Cup (most importantly, Brasil 2002)
20) "Old Biscuits"
21) Hong Kong cop films
22) Francis Ng and all things related to Francis Ng
23) Disneyland
24) Whisky (and jazz)
25) A good sandwich
26) Old school Japanese cartoons (esp. Karaoke Sensei and cartoons about cooking)
27) Magazines
28) Nice tableware
29) People who write well (e.g. Matthew Cheng, Dave Barry and Nick Hornby)
30) Jackson Browne
31) Stan Getz's rendition of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina"
32) Hong Kong in general
33) Limehouse Blues
34) San Pellegrino or Calistoga
35) A nice restaurant, especially ones in Soho, Hong Kong
36) Crossword puzzles
37) The pairing of Audrey Hepburn with Humphrey Bogart
38) Menswear
39) Cookbooks
40) Paris
41) Carebears
42) Craisins and cereal
43) Les Miserables, especially Enjolras
44) The Young and Dangerous series and spin-offs
45) People who act or look like the Fonz or Danny Zuco
46) Black and White photographs...those in the vein of Robert Doisneau's
47) Travel guides
48) 5.30am and, more explicitly, time alone
49) Vietnamese pho (88, Toronto)
50) Samuel Tong <3
