True or false

Yesterday, I planned to eat Macs for dinner. Throughout Finance class, I pictured my McChicken, plain, and 1 apple pie. But unexpectedly, I was to eat with a group mate, whom I was going to have a meeting with after dinner anyway. My Mac dinner was dashed; We ate at Koufu. I told him about my Mac dinner plan.

"Why didn't you tell me you wanted Macs?"
"Cos I know you're anti-Mac!"
"How would you know?"
"It's true right?"
"Yeah."

How did I know? Call it intuition, whatever. I believe, our physical being and personality can give off huge signals about ourselves. We may not catch all aspects of a person's total-ness, but who can? I don't even understand myself sometimes, only God knows each one of us perfectly. Anyway, I always hear people claim, "I'm different. I'm actually very introvert/extrovert. Most people don't realise this certain thing about me" And so on. Really? I think FEW people are difficult to read. These few people are often either in a world of their own or have a damn high self-monitoring disposition. [that's an MPW term!]

Anyway, my friend and I played a game during dinner. We are to make observations of each other by saying quite specific statements which are either true or false. A true statement earns you one point. The first to 5 points win. I kept shooting off statements like, 'You like your poodle more than your golden retriever [false]', '60% of your T shirts are white. [false]', 'You were from a sports cca in JC [true]'... In any case, I lost. My friend came up with much fewer statements about me, but they were more accurate.

'You are close to your parents.' True.
'You hate soft toys.' I declared that this is not counted cos many girls feel that way at my age.
'You don't wear dresses' Generally true.
'You never had a boyfriend.' True. I'm still trying to figure how he came to this conclusion.

I can't remember the last one. I really should have won.
