The Taiwan Chronicles: Roommate Diary

About Roommate

Name: Jun Ting Lin (Junts)
Age: 24
Ethnicity: Taiwanese

He lives with me in the same apartment in the same room. And we share everything together, including stuff inside the apartment, which include jokes and fun times, clothes and foods, taxis and friends. Good times in 2010.

X --- Here are "Lin Jun Ting's Top 10 Qualities" from what I have observed as his roommate for months:

(1) Cleans and tidies room regularly. Super clean guy. No complaints about my mess, because he cleans it up.
(2) Humbler than most - humbly agrees with suggestions and criticisms many a times.
(3) Understands brokenness. Can sympathize with people in difficulty.
(4) Doesn't take up much space. If our room is 6 x 7 m squared, then he takes up about 2 x 3 m squared! (Work out the maths) I completely take over the room in terms of stuff. That's a super good roommate!
(5) Needs little face among strangers. Doesn't care about what strangers think of him. And can sing very loud in public with little hesitation.
(6) Patient. When browsing books together, listening/singing a song, listening to a story, he will wait for the finish before moving onto something else.
(7) Doesn't mind snorers. Although he tells me that i snore every night, i can tell that in his tolerance, he really doesn't mind.
(8) Content with any food. He even eats the ginger, cooked in soups, and anything that appears in the bowl.
(9) Gifted song writer. He writes one song a week. He sings til 2am in the morning, and thinks about songs.
(10) Knows how to hang out with older people. Attends 28yrs+ cell groups.

X --- Here are his bad qualities as observed in the past months:

(a) Brushes his teeth for 20 minutes - and that's 19+ minutes too long, way way too long.
(b) Likes to take off all his clothes when he gets back to the apartment (at least its helped me to be more open).
(c) If "overreacts around cute animals" doesn't count, then that's all i can really think of...
