About LX

Some excerpt from what my wife say about me ... He is a black-and-white-only person. His motto? Wrong is wrong lah.

Never failing to speak his mind, he will present the real him to you as-it-is. Often, he can be loud as a thunder, especially when his paper-thin patience is tested to the core. But you probably would notice too that he is a very thoughtful person. Paying attention to most of the teeny-weeny details, and showing the gentle side of him. === END ===
