Eight Random Facts About Me
Thursday, July 5th, 2007I kena tagged by Jenn on 8 random facts about me. Eight, huh? Seems a lot, but I will sure give it a shot.
No. 1: I like playing the piano but I hate practicing especially scales. Although I don’t mind practicing Hanon’s Virtuoso Pianist in 60 Exercises – Complete: Piano Technique and Czerny’s School of Velocity, but once in a while I will practice my chromatic scales. Don’t ask me why, I’m just fickle!!
No. 2: I love to keep up with the Windsors especially so before Princess Diana’s death. I remembered when we got the news of her death, I had a big fight with DB and I ran out of the apartment the whole day and didn’t come home till 10 pm. Took my shower and was reading in bed and DB came in and told me about her death. I stayed up the whole night and watch the updates and what not. And after her death, I still keep up with her two boys’ life. Think I’m busybody??? Did I watch Concert for Diana??? :)
No. 3: I wish I can write like a pro. Since going to school, my writing has improved tremendously. Before, it was really sub standard, unreadable.
No. 4: I am not a crafty kinda person, so each time I try to make a homemade card, it goes into the trash can. That’s why my scrapbook that I started from scratch is taking me so long to complete. Also, I can’t even do a simple flower arrangement. I did, but I put the vase in a conspicuous place so no one can see it.
No. 5: I am vain but not as vain as some of my school mates. I am still very tomboyish in some way especially how I sit. I hate crossing my legs because it’s uncomfortable. The only time I crossed my legs is when I have to wear dresses or skirts. Needless to say…..
No.6:…I don’t like wearing dresses or skirts too much unless I have to. My preferred choices of clothing are jeans and pants. I don’t dress up for work. I am a very casual, simple kinda person. I hardly put any makeup on, if I do, it’s very light. Heck, I don’t even pluck/wax my eyebrows. The one time I did them was two years ago. It is too much of a hassle for me.
No. 7: ……however, I hate my looks when I have a lot of “meat”. I prefer to be on the thinner side, but my colleagues and friends said I look very under nourished, haggard and sickly looking. Do I really???
No. 8: Ever since I was a kid, I love the smell of cigarette and pipe smoke . I still remember when my father smokes his cigarettes, and my grandfather smokes his pipe in the house. My brother and I would helped our grandfather packed the tobacco in for his pipe and occasionally our grandfather will let us light her up for him. I think was like seven or eight still – could be younger. Each time they light one up, I would take a deep breath and not complain that it stinks. Even after my father quit smoking, my mother’s friend, who we kids called her Aunty Juliana, would visit us and the first thing she does was light one up. I love it when the house was filled with the smell of cigarette smoke. And I still do.
There, I’m done. It’s not so bad after all :) I will tag Aiyah Nynonya, LP and Yvy. Enjoy ladies!
