1. I was the top scorer for PSLE in my school with a score of 274.
Lots of people guess this as one of the false statement. It is indeed false. But there are 2 parts to this question...first part is that I am the top scorer for my school, and second part is my score is 274. I believe a lot of people guessed that it is false cause they don't think I am the top scorer. Well...first part is actually true...I was indeed the top scorer, the false part is the second part, I didn't get 274. I got 275. I guess people can get stupider over time.

2. The only English album I have (as in really own the CD) is Jamie Cullum's "Catching Tales"
True: I never really have the habit of buying CDs, I own like only around 10 albums (2 were gifts)...and most of them were Sun Yan Zi CD...I don't know what got over me that day, but I was at HMV...saw Jamie Cullum's "Catching Tales"..and just bought it..maybe I was feeling rich that day...

3. I have watched video clips from American Idol, Australian Idol, Canadian Idol, UK Pop Idol, Dutch Idol, Malaysian Idol, Singapore Idol, NZ Idol, Philippines Idol, India Idol, Indonesian Idol before.
True: Anyone who knows me well would know I watch a lot of idol shows...I did watch clips from these many shows, but I only follow American, Australian, UK, Canadian, Malaysian and Singapore Idol religiously...the rest (like India, Indonesia), I only watch a few clips here and there..

4. I love Big Brother (the reality TV show), can name you all the elimination in correct order but have never ever watch a single full episode before.
True: There is this forum call "Survivor Sucks" and there is a board for Big Brother. One fine day I just stumbled upon the Big Brother Board, and read the live feeds thread and got hooked. That is how I "watch" Big Brother. (In Big Brother, the contestants live in a house which is being filmed 24/7. Some people who buy the feeds will update on forums what is going on in the house now, the strategising etc)

5. I have acted in 2 Chinese drama production before (as in tickets were to sold to public that kind), one as the male lead the other as the supporting actor.
True: I was in Chinese drama in primary school. The teacher (from Singapore Broadway Playhouse) lacks a suitable actor for one of her plays...so she asked me and I agreed. I was primary four then. Subsquently, she asked me back in primary five too for another play.

6. I have watched all seasons of "Survivor" before.
I am a big survivor fan. But I only started watching since the ending of season 5 (Thailand). Managed to catch season 4 (Marquesas) on the reruns on Channel 5 though. I have catch all season since then...except the previous one...Survivor Exile Island...lost interest after the first few episodes. So no, I have not watch all seasons of "Survivor" before

7. The most played song on my playlist now is Jamie Cullum's "All At Sea".
True: It was true when I came up with the list, still true now. It is the most played song with 66 play counts. Second is India Arie's "Brown Skin" and third is India Arie's "Back To The Middle". Ironically, I have not listen to this 3 songs recently at all. Because not all my songs are in the registered play lists. Some songs that I listen to a lot recently were not captured cause I have not added them to my playlist.

8. My favourite reality TV contestant (on each show) never ever won before (be it on Idol, Survivor or Amazing Race).
This is kind of personal..so it's hard to guess...but one of my favourites did win before. Melissa O'Neil was the winner of Canadian Idol 3 and I was rooting for her right from the very beginning, despite being in the bottom 3 for the first 2 weeks, she persevered on and went on to win.

9. I have the experience of watching 2 movies in a row in 1 day for 2 consecutive days (meaning 4 movies in 2 days).
True: It was Dec holidays last year. I must be very rich at that time to splurge like that. I still remember the movies, I watched "Zathura" followed by "Aeon Flux" on one day, the next day I watched "Noel" and "Prime". I watched 2 movies in 1 day recently too, "World Trade Centre" followed by "Scoop".

10. I got 100 marks for all my Chinese exams in Primary 1 (CA1, SA1, CA2, SA2)
Once again, I can't blame people for thinking this is false. I don't look at smart, especially since I don't seem very proficient in Chinese. This is false. I got 100 marks for CA1, SA1, SA2, but only got 97 for CA2. Close though.

11. I thought Jaclyn Victor (winner of Malaysian Idol) would have won World Idol 2 if there was one.
True: If there ever was a World Idol 2, I think she would win...cause there's simply not much competition. Plus I think she's good.

12. I have cheated in exams (not class tests but real exams) before.
True: Remember I mentioned I got 100 marks for all Chinese exams in primary 1 except CA2. Well, at that time, I finished my paper early, was checking through. Somehow my head titled a bit...and I saw my friend's answer. I realise her answer was different from mine, so I changed my answer to hers. This is considered cheating I guess. And guess what, her answer was wrong and mine was right! So because of that, I got 97/100 instead of 100/100, and I swear never ever to cheat again.

13. I got my first handphone only in secondary 2, and I wasn't even there to choose it.
True: I forgot the model number, but it's the blue one from Nokia. I was doing project at Baohe house at that time.

14. I only change my handphone once, and both my phones are below 40 bucks.
True: Both my phones cost 36 bucks I think, it's some promotion from Singtel, cause my dad use Singtel plan, so once it's up, if he continues to sign on, he will get a free phone or will be able to purchase hp at a low price. That's how I got both my phones. My brother's first phone costs $198 and he just changed a phone a few days ago, it costs $288. Favouritism indeed.

15. Anderson Secondary School was my first choice when choosing secondary school in P6.
True. But I chose Chinese High when I got the second option form.

16. I like to listen to sad songs when I am sad to make myself more sad.
I hate to listen to happy songs when I am sad, I will get irritated by the fact that someone can sing so happily when I am so sad. So I prefer to listen to sad songs, it has a soothing effect.

17. I did not watch a single match for the last Fifa World Cup in July.
True: Yes, too lazy to get up to watch.

18. The first game I played after PSLE ended was Pokemon yellow version on my Gameboy, which happened to be the first game I played after promos ended this year.
I did play Pokemon right after my PSLE, but I did not play it right after promos. I remembered the first game I played was Bridge, followed by minesweeper and nanaca crash, before I finally played Pokemon.

19. I won the second prize in a Chinese story-telling compeitition organised by some community centre before, losing only to a PRC.
True: I was primary five then.

20. I have 1700+ music files and 800+ video files on my computer at the moment.
True: I also don't know where I got all my music files. I do have 1725 registered music files + 43 not registered ones. But lots of my music files are 1min+ cause they are mp3s from Idol shows. I also have 800+ video files, don't ask me where they are from, most are idol shows, but I have no idea that there are that many.

Scores:
3/5: Terence (1, 6, 10), Ying Cheng (1, 6, 18), Everlyn (1, 6, 18), Kai Herng (1, 8, 10)
1/5: Wilson (6), Edmund (6), Mann Ying (10), Pauline (1), Ming Wei (10)
