25 things about me

[virtue_jade_sin]

Well I've heard that it's popular over Facebook and you know that I don't have a Facebook account.
Don't call me paranoid but I'm quite sensitive to attention especially when i don't know the other party well.
So instead I thought I'd rather post here instead on lj 25 things about me.

1. I'm the sort of person who keeps loads of misc items horded in different areas in the house. Items ranging jewellry, coins, Japanese crochet books to some toys from childhood days long gone. It's always a trip down memory lane every spring cleaning cos I can't dig them all out and I'll probably stash them somewhere else. 
2. Lesson learnt. Do not hide your love letters in your textbook. Note Murphey's law. The letter you forgot to take out from your textbook for safer keeping will definately fall out 100% when your classmate borrows your book for notes. That will not change 3 years later when you're clearing your stuff and your mum sees said love letter fall out from the same textbook. Talk about awkward
3. I can't seem to wear sunglasses without looking like a hitman.
4. I am told often that I look fierce looking face especially if I don't smile at all and that some people are are actually afraid of my eyes cos it looks as if I'm boring deep into the depths of their very soul or somewhere along the lines.
5. There's a small savings set aside for that road trip to Japan if it'll ever get through with Dawn, Diana and Karu. I'm still very hopeful for that Genting trip as well.
6. 907 and counting. That's the number of unread emails I have and there are emails from 2006 onwards.
7. Lonliness and isolation are 2 things I understand and have met with alot. Though I know that I am not truly alone but there are times when there are just no one around me and the sadness comes naturally.
8. I also have my sights on Disneyland as one of the places I want to go, other than the Hong Kong one.
9. Chili and spice, I do not really like.
10. There are weekends that I forgot to bring my handphone from hall and realized that I've no missed calls or messages from those three days. Sad T.T
11. Actually part of the reason why I've yet to get my licence now is because I have a slight fear, not of driving but of crashing.
12. Call me silly but I still believe in alot of things that people will scoff. True love is one, hope in humanity is another and reality will always bring them all crashing down.
13. I always love a good joke and a good laugh to brighten up my day. I make it a point to at least laugh or smile to myself everyday. Hey, we all got our little quirks here and there, plus I think that's what keeping me sane.
14. There isn't really a particular music artist I like. Most of the time the music I like is by the reason that I enjoy the music for what it is.
15. Most of the time, my fear of failure is what holds me from doing things I like. I think too much. Make calculations of pros, cons and possibilities which in turn fuel my hesitations. Am working on retifying this but progress is slow.
16. I've played the Chinese er hu and piano before. I'm now learning the ocarina and planning to sign up for guitar lessons in the near future.
17. I am also still waiting for that Sakae sushi or Jap buffet outing with Dawn and Diana. (Ne, next next week's my recess week. Arrange a date?)
18. When I do have my disagreements and arguments with my brother, they only last for about the day. We mostly forgive each other the following day or forget about the whole thing.
19. So far I've managed to make bargains with people to teach me dance(locking+popping) to drawing and coloring through bartering.
20. On the contary, I can eat beef now. I just don't out of respect.
21. There is nobody on my hate list. I try my hardest not to have strong negative emotions against someone cos it's bloody ain't worth it. However I do have a list of people I dislike. On the top is currently this classmate of mine who seems to be the silent bane of my existance and who had once cruelly insulted the way I speak. Am trying to knock him down by looking for things positive in him and be civil to him but frankly it's an uphill battle with setbacks.
22. It's true that I often take vanilla ice cream and other neutral flavours when it comes to sweet stuff but that doesn't mean it's my guranteed favourite. It's just harder to go wrong with vanilla. Diana, I'm sure you remember that strawberry milkshake thingie that tasted like cough syrup last year?
23. A good night's sleep. Something I desire the most. Where I can just sleep easily through the night, do not awake halfway through the night or fumble through morning stricken with tears, fears and fatigue. Trust me, it can be harder than you think.
24. I like cats better than dogs. Sorry Suka. >.<
25. The oddest way I was rudely awoken up was by a loud snoring coming from Suka. Yes, she snores sometimes and louder than my brother too. O.O
