Ganny

(Stolen from ~asianqueen~, looks like a good set of stuff! lol)

Name: Matthew
Nickname(s): Ganny (Mate gave me this one because there were too many Matts in the class lol), Ganzoars-kun (Cousin gave me this one), Asian (I seem to be from several parts of Asia), Ganny-chan (A mistake which a friend of mine made and it stuck), Fred (Someone didn't know my name in a race and they called me Fred. It stuck)
Reason behind screen name: I almost always use this screen name, so meh.

Ethnicity: Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian, Singaporean, Philipino. Born in Britian. Nice mix huh? (War can mix things up a LOT >.<)
Languages: English (Duh!), Chinese Mandarin (Grew up speaking it, can read and speak, but writing is a bit beyond me at times), Hokkien/Taiwanese (They're so similar) and Japanese. (Self taught myself Japanese to a half decent level. I lived in Japan for 6 months so it's not too shabby. But I still need to think quite a lot...) Also learnt German and Italian in school, but I've pretty much forgotten it >.<

Age: 18
My maturity level: Depends. At times I can be a kid, wanting to watch cartoons and stuff, other times I'm my real age and sometimes I can feel REALLY old...

Favorite Colors: Blue, Red and Black
Pet: I don't have one... I'd really love a dog but I don't think I have the time, if I'm honest...
Favorite Animal: Dogs, lions, monkeys, sheep
Favorite Fruit: Strawberries, durian, lychee, logan, mango, apple, bannanas.... The list can go on lol

What I shout out when I'm surprised: "WHAT THE...!!!!! NO WAI, OMG!!!"
Catchphrase: I don't think I have one...

Hobbies: Sports, computer games, listening/playing/writing music, reading/writing books, hanging out with mates, cooking! (Not one you'll find many guys liking, but I enjoy experimenting lol)

Sports: Athletics (Running anything from 400m to marathons. My speciality events include 800m, 1500m, 3000m and 3000m steeplechase), Football, Tennis, Badminton

Who I admire: Jay Chou, Utada Hikaru, Angela Aki, Ai Takahashi, Kusumi Koharu (seeing a trend here yet? lol), David Beckham, Wayne Rooney, Sir Alex Ferguson
What I like about myself: I like to see the good side in everything. And I always seem to get myself into a good mood, even after I should've killed someone lol
What I dislike about myself: I can sometimes exaggerate things a little too much... I'm also pretty stubborn and I can get involved with things I don't have to, getting myself into unnecessary trouble.
What I am scared of: Not achiving what I KNOW I can do, not what other people tell me I can do.
Charm point: ummm... My 'cute' accent when I speak a foreign language? (I've been told my Chinese and Japanese accents are 'cute')

Habits: Changing subject during conversations
Instrument: Guitar and piano

Music preference: A sucker for those sort of mushy, meaningful lyrics. I also like those artists with talent, not just those who are popular (So someone like Beiber sucks while Britney Spears is OK since she's actually got some talent)
