141. 20 random facts about me

i've seen many people posting about 20 random facts about themselves..so i've decided to try it myself..

it took me awhile to think of these 20 random facts..so here it is..

#1
my favourite food is sushi. i could eat it everyday and still not get bored of it. my close friends and family would probably know this very well. it could be in the middle of the night and i would suddenly crave for it.

#2
i have always dreamt of going to a secluded place in any of the Scandinavian countries to see the Northern Lights. it is probably the most beautiful creation i've ever known. probably it would be the most romantic place to go for my honeymoon too (oopss..kinda too early to be thinking of that now)

#3
as a child, i followed my auntie to church and i have always envied kids attending church with their family. it felt so loving to see a family of God going to church weekly. i never had such childhood but thank God, in His perfect timing, i finally get to attend church as a family. though i'm no longer a child, i am still grateful to be able to experience this. hopefully i can provide such childhood to my kids..(oh my..overthinking again..)

#4
i'm not sure when i started to love the stars, moon and the galaxy but i have developed such an interest that i have actually applied to take up my degree in astronomy. it just seemed interesting and i'm amazed with God's special creation. but that didn't work out and i ended up taking a degree for teaching.

#5
obviously teaching wasn't my first choice though i have been playing the role of a teacher since i was a kid. since young, i would play with my brother and cousin by acting out the scene of a classroom. i would always be the teacher and they would be my students. i never would have thought that this would be my future path. i have doubted my ability to be a teacher cause it's really energy draining and requires a lot of patience. but i have learnt to love what i'm doing simply because it is very rewarding. only a teacher understands the ups and downs of this job.

#6
i can't draw but i admire artwork. i have spent hours in art galleries just walking by each art piece and admiring their work.i have no favourite one in particular but i could imagine the time and hard work invested in each drawing.

#7
i love rainbows. it reminds me of God's faithful promises. double rainbow is rare but i have come across them many times.i could just stare at it for a long time. sadly, i don't have the time to slow down now and to admire the beauty of it for too long.

#8
i love tulips more than roses. i just find it rather special. probably because roses are just too mainstream. well, tulips is a flower that symbolises perfect love ;)

#9
i admire people who can play instruments. any instrument. they somehow capture my heart ;p

#10
i have a soft spot for people with baby face. they somehow attracts me. adorable people blessed with young looks!

#11
i have a super grandma! she is the perfect example of a housewife. she can cook, sew, bake and the list goes on.....you name it she can do it. even if she can't do it, she will learn till she's good at it. she can sew so well that i have never bought any school uniform throughout my 11 years of schooling life. my uniform has always been made according to my measurement. yes! i'm that blessed. even now that i'm teaching, all my 'baju kurung' and 'kebaya' is made. since young, my grandma would sew new clothes for us, the grandchildren, for Chinese New Year. my cousin and i would design what we want and she will sew it for us. i am still keeping some of the clothes she made for me when i was much younger.

#12
i love everything about Plymouth. i miss the heavy rain, the strong wind, the cold weather, the gloomy weather, the sight of the sun, the buses, the grass, the snow, the autumn leaves......it was one of the best chapter of my life. if i am given a chance, i would like to return for a visit. things might be different with all the new faces of lecturers and students in the university, but i still want to go back to revisit this lovely memory of mine.

#13
my first trip oversea was with my family at the age of 16. we went to Beijing and visited the palaces and i got to experience the food and culture of the place. ever since then, i loved travelling. studying in England provided me the chance to explore Europe and Scandinavian countries and to experience the rich culture there. by far, my favourite countries are Spain, Italy and Turkey. these are probably my top 3 countries for now that i would love to revisit if i ever have the chance.

#14
i can deal with cockroaches, insects and all but i just can't stand the sight of those slimy,boneless and legless creature. i find them very disgusting. i get goose pimples even when someone talks about them. YUCKS!!

#15
i never knew how to appreciate classic novels. i find them boring as most of the time i have a tough time understanding what they are talking about. but i took up a few modules of literature in university and i had a chance to learn and understand the stories behind the chosen classics and i fell in love with them. one of my best is Pride and Prejudice. i fell in love with Mr. Darcy!! he's so charming and caring even though he appeared arrogant and cold. awwww....my heart melts....;)

#16
punctuality is very important to me. i hate waiting for people as well as keeping people waiting. to me, time and tide wait for no man. must have got these genetically from my grandpa and dad..they are both very punctual people. even when i know an event is starting late and i try to dilly dally so that i won't reach too early, i will somehow still be among the earliest!! what do i have to do to be late?? this can be frustrating at times..

#17
i think i got this trait from my dad. i tend to keep things that has sentimental value to me. a friend drew a poster of a cat for me 7 years ago and it is still in very good condition. another gave me a box of chocolate for my birthday 10 years ago and the box is still there. but the pile is getting bigger and bigger and i'm forced to get rid of some of the things that has become less important to me.

#18
i adore people who plays sports especially basketball.. cause they are simply cool!! heheh.. i might be biased in some ways but i just find basketballer cool. probably cause they are tall..

#19
i'm from a Convent school and coming from an all girl school, i can count my close guy friends with both of my hands and might still have extra fingers. but thankfully, going to university and all added a few more to the small pile. needless to say i added my new girlfriends to my already huge pile of girlies. i'm thankful for each and every one of my friends who has entered my life one way or another. you have been a great blessing without you knowing.

#20
i'm blessed to have a very loving family who shows support and love in many ways. though sometimes i get frustrated when things don't go my way, i know for sure that they are the ones who will love me unconditionally and will be willing to give up anything just for me. i might not say this often, but i sure do love them to bits!!


* wow this took much longer than i expected..almost gave up halfway through..

139. Sepet

happen to come across a dialogue from one of my favourite movie..

"Sepet" directed by Yasmin Ahmad

Jason: Orked, how long do you think it takes to fall in love?

Orked: A minute. How long did it take for you to fall in love with me?

Jason: Much less than that.

*awww...my heart melts cause it's too cheesy..*

is there really such a thing as love at first sight?

Probably..
