Devilishly Red

A brief introduction of myself

 

Well, this is me…

You can call me Jacey but in real life I go by a different name. In case you’re wondering, nope, I don’t have a secret alter ego à la Superman/Clark Kent. I’m just more accustomed to being addressed by my Chinese name. There you go.
 

I’m 30, going on 31 and I call Singapore my home. Singapore is great but the weather can be a real pain at times. Maintaining Devilishly Red is a hobby of mine and I also happen to enjoy reading, watching random TV programmes and writing. Yes, writing. That probably explains why I enjoyed writing English essays so much during my secondary school days.
 

Many people often use the words “quiet” and “reserved” to describe me and I mostly agree with them. I take a considerable amount of time to warm up to people and more often than not, I prefer to observe and listen rather than talk. I have this innate fear of saying the wrong things and in turn embarrassing myself in front of a group of people. However, if you ask my friends and family, they’ll probably paint you a different picture of me. I actually do talk. Sometimes too much.
 

Some of my obsessions

I’m a ginormous The Lord of the Rings fan. In my humble opinion, it’s the BEST movie ever made. I could watch all three instalments over and over again without getting bored. Ever. I also have a soft spot for superhero films and my favourite superhero has got to be Batman. Christian Bale Batman, not Michael Keaton Batman, mind you.
 

If you haven’t guessed by now, I’m a Manchester United supporter. My obsession with football began in 1994, when I watched my first World Cup – USA94. Since Ryan Giggs is the only EPL footballer I knew back then (thanks to my fortnightly dosage of Smash Hits), I decided to pledge my allegiance to the Red Devils. 16 years later, Man United is still the team for me and Ryan Giggs still plays for them. Incredible.
 

Like many others, I enjoy listening to music. I listen mostly to English pop and you can get a rough idea of what I like by visiting my Last.fm site. If you ask me who my all-time favourite artiste is, I’d have to pick Take That. I grew up listening to their songs and they never fail to remind me of my school days. Linkin Park comes a close second.
