About me
25 random things about me:
1. i am writing this because i want to test out how this “pages” thing work on wordpress, and also because i have to spend valentine’s day without my dear so i’m a little bored.
2. i don’t eat a lot of stuff. like onions, spring onions, garlic, ginger, meat that come with bones (because they look scary to me), parsley, etcetc. i am totaly cool with putting the stuff into the food to give it the flavour, but i will pick all these out from my plate (and pass them to hanwei)
3. i really think that the city of love aka Paris is overrated. Sure, I’ve met some nice people.. but today there was this old lady who was holding a walking stick and having difficulties walking to the door to alight. this Frenchman signaled to us not to bother about her, just because she was a black. so much for the love over here.
4. i know it sounds a little terrible, but i miss my dear more than my family back home. not that i don’t miss my family.. just a little lesser.
5. i cannot stand not bathing. even though it’s winter and i don’t sweat much, i make it a point to bathe every single day. unless like i have to stay over at a friend’s place because the last bus for 91.06 is gone and it’s snowing so i can’t walk down the hill, plus there’s no towel for me to use.
6. i am probably one of those girls whom you hardly see putting makeup on. i do admit that i’m a little lazy.. but i don’t really like it when the girls have makeup of like 1cm thick or something. it just makes me feel that they’re so fake, and just like any other day walking down orchard road. i will also never rebond my hair, because i don’t want to look like everybody else. also because i like my natural waves.
7. i side track a lot. like i’m supposed to be doing my biosynthese du peptidoglycane now..but oh well, looking at chemical structures (and numbers, physics or math) is never my forte.. so yeah. let me just take a break for a while.
8. i love traveling. traveling is like a form of release for me.. to get away from everything you’re so stressed up with and just enjoy yourself. which explains why we’re planning to go to Barcelona next weekend… and we haven’t even planned properly yet. lol. But we’re going to get a France-Spain pass cos we want to visit more places in Spain, and it’s much much cheaper that way. In fact the pass costs as much as your return ticket for Barcelona, so why not get more for less?
9. i’m beginning to like grocery shopping (Ed, Leader Price, Monoprix, Tang Freres..) and i totally look like an aunty.. looking out for the best bargains.. i also enjoy cooking! because eating out everyday will cause a HUUUUUGGGGEEE hole in my pocket.. and it’s soooo much cheaper to eat at home.
10. i am a person who wouldn’t reply on msn if you had just typed “hi”, “hello” and its derivatives. what am i supposed to reply to that? i would prefer if you had asked me something.. or just go straight into the topic.. instead of “how’s life?”. erm, i just saw you 1 hour ago before i boarded the bus.. so what can happen if i’m safely back home and typing at my com????
11. i first drank alcohol when i was primary 4. it was red wine, ironically given to me by my teacher (even though i’m underaged, because she wanted us to try the red wine), who went with us to Beijing for some immersion trip. Also served during the dinner was mealworms.. which everyone ran away to the toilet because it looked really gross.
12. i probably pick things up at a relatively fast rate. i took less than half a day to learn how to ride a bike (at Jalan Pari Unak).. and I was told to go down the slope right after I had learnt how to cycle. Those who have studied in Anglican High will probably know how freaking scary it is to be cycling down the slope.. but i survived without any crashes, though i screamed my lungs out. I took about 20mins to learn how to rollerblade as well. And I had no dance background but I did Float dance for 2 years…
13. i like to dance. it makes me feel carefree and fluttery, though i wish my dear was my partner instead of some random guy, no matter how charismatic and gentlemenly they are.
14. i have more male friends than female friends. I don’t know why either.. it’s been this case since I was in kindegarten.. maybe it’s because i’m too much like a guy and i can click well with them.
15. i say “thank you” (or merci for now) when someone holds the door/lift.. or passes the salt/pepper/chilli to me. I can’t understand why most girls don’t.. and i think that irritates me a little.. because it feels like you’re taking that person for granted.
16. i am damn afraid of cockroaches!! and dear is too! the other time he mum was asking what would we do if we saw cockroaches.. i think both of us will just run to one corner, jump on the chair and scream until someone comes to help! however, i must admit that i am scared of anything that flies as well.. such as moths, butterflies, beetles.. which deardear has bravely sweeped/killed them when i was screaming in my room in hall. my room was just right above his.. so it’s kind of obvious that the screaming came from me.
17. i like it when deardear piggybacks me.. but i feel so guilty because i know that i’m so heavy. however, i did get all the piggybacks during my birthdays! and anything else.. i just tell deardear that i can walk on my own (no matter how painful those heels are.. i would rather walk barefooted).. rather than troubling him. (because i weigh like an elephant)
18. i have a freaking sensitive nose. i have my sinus every morning and night without fail.. i can detect anything from dust to stench to toilets to.. well anything and everything. jess and i were buying camembert today.. and i can smell through the box and the plastic to tell if the cheese is good or not. in the end, we paid 2,45E instead of the 1,90E one.. because lanquetot smells a lot better (and my madame allowed me to try that in Lyon before, so i know it’s much better than President or Monoprix)
19. i love shopping. i hate growing broke. i choose to have window shopping if possible.. and trying on clothes and stuff.. and then camwhoring in the changing room. cheap thrill i know.. but it’s better than getting myself broke. However, sales here are really good!!!!
20. i know nuts about computers. if there’s something that’s spoilt.. i will just go down to NUS IT Co-op and get it done for free (since it’s under warranty). I used to run to Shahz (ex block head) but he’s in ANU doing Actuarial Science now.
21. i cannot play those First Person Games. or whatever you call it. Like Battlefield.. I tried playing it.. and vomitted right after playing -_-”’
Even when i watch deardear play.. i still feel like vomiting, though it’s slightly better.
22. I have an asian flush each time i drink (no matter how many percent). i really hate it when people ask “are you drunk?”, and then when i say that i’m not.. they go “ohh that’s what drunk people say”. however, i can still walk in a straight line, and do everything normally. i’m just red, ok?
23. i can survive in anywhere with a map. I know it’s said that most girls can’t read maps.. but I fully guided deardear during our Oz trip! (since i don’t have a license, i can’t drive). Although the funny thing is that. i have to turn the map in the direction whereby the car is heading towards. This applies for those remote controlled cars as well.. i can’t drive the thing unless i walk together with it, and i am following behind the car at all times!
24. I love Wikipedia. especially when i space out during my french lecturers and become cluelees. or when i cannot copy in time.
25. I miss my bolster! I never did sleep without hugging something.. but i’ve managed it for 3 weeks already.. wow. however, i do wish that deardear would come soon during Easter and that i could hug him to sleep.. just like how we used to do in hall!
Alright, so I think you should know more about me now! :)
