8 little facts bout myselfthis is prolly the first time i'm doing a tag thanks to iluvtina. well here goes... i'll skip the rules portion and just go right into the "8 little facts bout myself". ( lazy la to cut n paste ) and i'm prolly not gonna tag anyone after this. so enjoy!
1) As opposed to iluvtina, I cry all the time. Advertisements ( remember those petronas ads commemorating our national day? ), songs ( Luther Vandross’s Dance with My Father), movies, series and even cartoons ( i'll always remember tarzan )gets my eyes all red and watery! I always imagine myself in the character’s shoes and if it’s moving enough, I’ll sob! Haha. Quite embarrassing really but I guess I have accepted that part of me. Lol. Sometimes talking about certain issues gets me all emotional and I can’t help but start tearing/crying right in the middle of shopping complexes. ( over bagels in Oliver’s Sandwich )
2) Hopelessly sentimental which I totally dislike!! Haha..then again, like fact number 1, it’s something that I’ve accepted. Will always have soft spots for people who were part of my life, but due to circumstances and changing environments, are not what we used to be anymore, like good friends from school or college. Love keeping things like notes, cards, small lil gifts and reminiscing bout the good times shared.
3) I peel the skin around my fingers and toes and you ask who doesn’t know that already???!! Hahaha..One bad habit since my childhood days which I still can’t get rid of. ( prizes for those who can???!! Eheh ) I peel, it bleeds, I plaster them, it heals, I peel them again. See, it’s a vicious cycle. I get a kick out of it and I can’t stop doing it whenever my hands are free or when I’m restless or nervous. Immediate reaction tat kinda thing. And yes, it’s painful.
4) I always eat the same food at the same restaurant. When I like a type of food in a restaurant, and even if there are other choices that I haven’t tried, I’d still stick to the one I’m familiar with. Like for eg. at Madam Kwans I’ll always go for their Nasi Bojari even though their Nasi Lemak or their Asam Laksa is equally good. (Of cos I haven’t tried them, but that’s the feedback I get) and in Pizza Uno, I’ll always go for their Con Salmone spaghetti even though their Lasagna look’s tempting or they say the Spring Chicken is good. I’m pretty safe when it comes to food. I get all upset if I tried to be adventurous one day and the food ends up being disappointing. When in coffee shops and I really don’t know what to eat, by default I’ll go for the Char Siew & Siew Yuk fan because you can’t go very wrong with that choice. Hey, its food we’re talking about after all!!!
5) When I was younger my nicknames were “Hak Mang Kai”, loosely translated as black chicken or “Sao Mang Kai”, which means skinny. Friends used to joke that they wouldn’t be able to see me behind a single chopstick. Hehe. In Primary school, I loved the outdoors and was always at the field bathing in mud and my skin was fried as it can be. And yeah, I was skinny up till form 2 too. It was then tat I decided that I was sick of being nicknamed skinny so I took it upon myself to fatten myself up with as much food I can get my hands on and VOILA! There was no turning back since. *glum*
6) I wanted to marry my dad when I was little.
7) I talk to myself. In situations where I need to get psyched up about something or when I’m frustrated or upset or when I’m afraid, I’ll cheer myself with “YuenWei you can do this! Come on!” haha. Yes, I’m my very own best cheerleader. Sometimes I even imagine myself with short skirts holding pom-poms doing splits. ( haha…kidding!)
8) I dislike lizards. I jump and scream at lizards. Urgh.
