Day 1

Day 01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

Hmm, recent pic? I don't have any flattering pics these days.. I look too tired from work.. I need to go out more!!!


There, taken a couple weeks ago, with a humongous bowl of ramen and an equally gigantic mountain of cheese. :D

Or if you prefer, a nicer picture of me, at graduation, about 4 months ago here.. Hey, at the rate that time is passing, 4 months IS pretty recent isn't it?

15 facts about myself? I could go on for a long time, just thinking how much I should reveal about myself...

1) I love sushi... Much more than sashimi.. People go to buffets for the value of the sashimi but I go right for the rolls.. I don't care.. Oh might as well say it here.. I love rice!! I am a rice bucket! :D

2) I love chocolate!!! I used to eat chocolate every day for a couple of months.. Used to have a never-ending supply of chocolate in my room, but one day I just stopped. The chocolate is still in my room though, and the chocolate mood is coming back, just when Halloween is around the corner :)

3) I am a very neat and messy person. Oxymoron? I prefer to call it an organized mess. I can put things EVERYWHERE in no orderly fashion and most of the time I can remember distinctly where I put them.

4) My first childhood ambition was to become an astronaut. With my poor grasp of physics and chemistry, this dream vanished into the black hole (pun intended!)...

5) I like to write. If I have the motivation / inspiration / time / ability, I would like to write for a living. I just wonder what happens when I get writer's block.. Do I go hungry for a month?

6) I am not a Singapore citizen, though I've lived in Singapore for 12 years. I am not (yet) a Canadian citizen, though I've lived in Vancouver for 6 years. I'm a Hong Kong citizen, but I feel no affinity for the bustling city which everyone flocks to for shopping.

7) I am a die-hard romantic. I like anything sappy, corny, cheesy, as long as it is romantic.. Songs, movies, books, real life.. YEA!

8) I love cooking. Even though these days I don't really have the time to think much about cooking or actually cook proper stuff, I still like it. I don't know if my passion for cooking is fading or not, but we shall see. And get this, I've never cooked in my entire life before August 2008.

9) I don't like anything that 99% of the world goes crazy over.. As in, the more popular something is, I tend to stay further away from it.. Odd phenomenon I noticed about myself.. Keep me away from Lady Gaga, Twilight, iPhone, Justin Bieber, House, Jay Chou... Oh the list goes on..

10) People always ask me, "Are you homesick?" when I first came to Vancouver.. And in my heart it was always a resounding NO. I feel sad that I'm not very much of a family-oriented person, as much as I want to be one.. I shall strive to become one, when I have a family of my own..

11) I am not a materialistic person. I do not hanker after LV bags, Prada purses, or anything expensive. I like things nice and simple, and can be quite frugal when I have to be, at the same time knowing when to splurge a little for myself.

12) I love to take photos.. Of scenery, nature, the sky.. Especially sunsets.. I would love to own a DSLR one day and learn how to take great nature shots..

13) I am a (wo)man of my words. When I say something, I will ensure that my actions follow.. I am not one of those who just say yes for the sake of pleasing people and do something completely opposite instead. I am a loyal, faithful person who wishes that the world was less superficial.

14) I love cheese! Anything with cheese is AMAZING!!!! Nachos, pizza, pasta.. I just wish it was more figure-friendly..

15) Lastly, I like anything miniature, smaller than usual! I used to have a toy set of miniature figures and food and I still keep it to this very day! I wanna own more of tiny cute figurines of food, trinkets, cartoon characters, whatever!

Well, are you surprised at any of these facts? :D
