Me In 8 Items

A guitar, a yo-yo, a soccer ball, an XBox, a computer an iPod, a bag and a Malaysian flag. What do these objects represent in me?

The guitar and the iPod shows that I like music and that I listen to it a lot. I also play some guitar at an intermediate level. The guitar has some value to me because I had to work hard to learn enough guitar to earn it. I took up guitar because I was thinking of taking up an instrument and guitar took my eye first. I started with a cheap acoustic guitar and started taking some lessons at school. At first I had troubles playing even just one note, but as I got better I could play songs. I was ecstatic when I got my electric guitar, which is the one you see in the picture. My favorite genre of music is Rock and I listen to it and play it the most.

The XBox, the soccer ball and the yo-yo shows what I like to do in my spare time.

I’ll play the XBox when I get bored and if there’s nothing else to do, or if there’s some free time.

I’ll usually play soccer when I have a ball. I first started playing soccer around when I was 5 or 6 when I went to Houston because in my school soccer was a big thing. I used to be terrible at soccer, but now I’ve gotten better since I’ve played it a lot.

I chose the yo-yo as one of the items because I think that it’s fun to do. I got my first yo-yo before I could remember however I didn’t know how to use it properly until a few years ago on a road-trip. On the road-trip I visited a museum with a beginner’s yo-yo in the gift shop and I bought it. I started getting good at the basic stuff, but this yo-yo couldn’t do tricks. So along the road-trip I got a better yo-yo and started doing tricks. Once I returned from the trip I got an even better one which is the one you see in the picture.

The bag represents the learning side of me and school. I like to learn new, interesting things, especially in things that are one of my hobbies.

The computer shows that I use computers and technology a lot; for work and for spare time.

I chose the Malaysian flag as one of the things that represents me because I was born in Malaysia and have lived here for 6 years. It’s where my cousins, aunts and uncles so it’s where most of my family lives.

That’s me in 8 items.
