### about me:
#### lucky?
Honestly, I'm pretty content with how I am right now. I could do better, and I will do better. More importantly, I'm somehow still alive and well in great shape.
I'm pretty sure I've had near death experiences and yet I'm here.
I don't know if I believe in luck, but when it comes to gambling, when I'm with others, they win a lot, calling me their lucky charm.
I think my life from start till now was ok.
I guess I'm lucky how my life turned out and the person I came to become, with all the great people I have in my life.
#### british?
i realised how british i was until i started getting annoyed at how people walk. heres your typical behaviour
- i drink tea a lot
- always queue
- always apologising
- always thanking
- talk about weather
- sarcasm (a lot)
- dry humour
- keep calm and carry on
- punctual - time matters
- tesco meal deals
- love working
#### call? text?
i sound like a total introvert but neither one
my social battery lasts like 2-4 hours and im drained
maybe i prefer calling because its more focused, a better use of time, and i like to hear voices
texting just seems very blank to me
but i never go out to call/text someone unless its one of these reasons
1. meeting up/making plans
2. work purposes
3. to get information about something
thats it.
but i dont really text/call anyone, i like to be alone mostly
the only exception is one on one, i can talk forever
but groups 3+ and im a dead man.
#### friends and family?
i have a very small circle
though i think i can become friends with anyone
i can probably approach anyone with confidence
people come and go
i was told this analogy that people are butterflies and theyre not meant to be trapped in cages forever, but instead they should be able to fly freely whenever they want
i dont have any hatred for anyone
#### minimalist?
maybe? at times i believe being messy actually helps me be creative, but i like to keep things simple at other times.
i hate waste, i dont like clutter, i just like to hold onto what is important to me.
#### piano?
i played piano since i was 14/15?
stopped at grade 3 by 17
started again at 22, now doing grade 4
i was inspired by my friend henry who did piano, he was in the same class
i was also inspired by no game no life op piano
(maybe river flows in you as well)
but i love the piano as an instrument
i want to get better at it
and play more
#### creative?
I'm not sure if I am a creative person, my dress style sucks, I have no original ideas, and always thought I was more of a logical person.
but then I never really liked the 9-5 style or boring people who just talk numbers
I like originality. I like creating stuff, and I want to make lots of stuff.
I decided I want to create vlogs, something to watch back in the future. I loved the idea of creating your own videos, you can direct and edit your own way - in your own style.
So I started my own YouTube channel.
I still vlog to this day, learning new ways to direct and edit my videos.
Maybe I'll direct my own movie one day.
#### generalist?
yes absolutely, i dont want to be a specialist not to say its bad, but i believe that a jack of all trades is a master at life
the future is unpredictable, so adaptability is needed, having knowledge in all domains pretty much equips you for life and helps you pivot anywhere
but specialists are still important, watching them do pour their life into the work they love is amazing.
#### gamer?
yes... unfortunately
i play all types of games
but mainly league/tft
im getting into marvel rivals, its pretty fun
im really bad at games now
my reaction times are too slow (old ahh man)
fav games:
persona 3/4/5, undertale, botw, metaphor refantazio, jet set radio, outer wilds
HM: outrun 2006, portal, stardew valley, before your eyes, pokemon soul silver
no mainstream games here bc thats a boring list
#### otaku?
eh not really
i had that one anime phase but it wasnt even bad
i still watch something then and there
i pref reading manga tho
currently watching (or on the list):
takopii, sakamoto days, dadadan
fav anime:
hunterxhunter, naruto (childhood), steins gate, gto, frieren, aot, a silent voice, whisper of the heart, look back
hm: psycho pass, neon evangelion, ping pong
#### google maps?
maybe im cursed with a pretty decent memory
but a lot of people know me as google maps just because i know my way around london so well
from all the creeks and alleyways, i knew all the shortcuts in london
but im not sure how i was able to remember so much of london
even when it came to hanoi, i pretty much remember my way around the whole city within the first week
but yeah i guess i have a decent memory
i can remember things from young quite vividly
#### therapist?
idk how i am able to predict 90% of the outcomes
can i see the future ? o.o no
but man with this ability i can pretty much offer some solid advice to anyone, no matter the scenario
a lot of people like to come to for advice, or they like to share things very easily, maybe its because i give really honest stuff (or just that im intj?)
either way jims advice always goes well in the end 👍
note: jimmy never takes his own advice
note: therapy only works if you actually want to help yourself
#### nerd?
I love learning. I like to read books, watch documentaries and just learn anything.
Especially different approaches to thinking and living. I like to move forward, and explore all the areas in life.
I like everything and anything.
#### geek?
fav superhero? spiderman (miles morales tho) or ironman
but i have weird super fixations on certain niches or stuff
not sure quite exactly but sometimes i can just talk about one thing for hours
idk how it got to this point
#### stoic?
brain goes uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
just keep on livin'
