First an introduction of who I am. I'm Xing You and I'm currently studying in Media Studies and Management course. I'm 18 and I'm single. Has always been. I wear a pair of spectacles and my hair looks dorky. One look at me in a school canteen, you may think I'm just a regular kid like the rest.
Truth is, I'm not like the rest of them. I absolutely love movies. I love movies that entertain me with unconventional filming techniques and styles. My favourite films ranges works from the likes of mainstream directors David Fincher and Peter Jackson to stylistic ones like Jean Pierre Jeunet and Edgar Wright.
I also love music. Again, I don't stick to only one kind of music. Indie rock, 60's rock, Jazz, modern rock and pop-rock music are always in my playlist. They are even instrumental songs from my favourite film composer Michael Giacchino.
What I'm saying is that I'm a mixed bag of everything. Sometimes I can pull off surprises, sometimes I can be as cliche as TV shows go.
Onwards to my family. I have both my parents and two sisters; one younger, one older. Mom and dad are...I forgot how old they are but they're supposed to hit 60 in a couple of years' time. My elder sister is hitting the big three-oh in November and my younger sis is taking her O Levels' this Monday.
Mom works as a teacher in a secondary school I used to go to. Dad used to work as an engineer then he got retrenched because of the economy. My elder sister works at a prestigious bank of Barclays' (the bank that funds the English Premier League).
Like any other family, I think we're quite normal. We have our fair share of quarrels, arguments, moments of happiness and stuff. And I think that no matter where are you in life, you can always return back home to find peace with oneself. It's a place of recuperation, a form of breakaway from the stress of school, work and other things as well.
Friends come and go but family will always be there for you, I guess. Told ya I am cliche...
