What The Introduction Means In English

(This is a translation of the introduction on myself. For the benefit of those who don't understand Chinese)


Tan Wah Pheow: A boring and self-contradictory entity. Came into this god-forsaken world unprepared, just because my mother wanted to play a joke on humanity. Hence was forced to accept life, and those things in which we do not understand. Cynical yet playful. Sentimental yet logical. Prefers literature on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, while morphing into a scientist on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. No resting on Sundays, becoming a soccer player. An agnostic, yet still complains like a woman with PMS to God almost everyday about the dullness of life. However, have been taught by Lao Tze's Tao Te Ching that although one is not the most fortunate person in the world, neither is one the most unfortunate. Hates religion, hypocritic moral guidelines and politics. Loves too many things, hence will use "life" as a generic term to describe things I love. Having lived on Earth for more than a quarter of a century, feels that the greatest achievement has to be: I am still alive.
