My 25 random things
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you!
1. I was a tomboy growing up who would sulk and/or cry if I had to wear a dress for CNY/ wedding or birthday dinner. I might still be one.
2. I was a marksman with the AR15 in the NCC
3. I can cook from scratch with or without a recipe, decently.
4. I am mortally afraid of lizards. E helps me catch most of them at home but I catch all the cockroaches, so we're about even.
5. My 2 favorite books are "Lord of the Rings" and "红楼梦", both of which I had read at least 15 times.
6. I can't live without chilli. I'm not sure if I want to live without chilli.
7. I drive too fast for my Nissan March. I'm not sure if I will still be driving too fast or at the right speed for the car if I have a more powerful car.
8. I made my father cry when I refused to continue my studies in the Uni. We compromised by my applying only to the 2 business schools of NUS and NTU, if I didn't get into either, I could pursue other options. I was accepted into NUS Bizad. I'm glad I went.
9. I sang alto in my primary school choir, and we performed at youth festival concerts etc.
10. The 2 friends closest to my heart are both "yanling"s. I'm truly blessed.
11. I aced all my chinese exams in school, once topping my cohorts for the year in Secondary School.
12. I used to hand make Christmas Cards for my close friends from Primary 5 to Uni 1.
13. I flunk Uni 1 for failing stats at twice. Devastating but it made me less afraid of failures.
14. I love BBQ chicken wings, and buffalo wings with blue cheese dip!
15. I am good with my hands and can do most handicrafts including knitting and croqueting, but I haven't learned how to use a sewing machine yet.
16. I once drank 2 3/4 jug of beer in 1.5 hours.
17. I learned to do make up by applying them to only half a face and see it was any improvement
18. I had pre-cancerous cells taken out during a colonscopy.
19. My favorite beach is Chrissy Beach in San Francisco, and favorite holiday location in Phuket.
20. My comfort food is my mom's rice porridge with fish slices and meat balls.
21. I can only eat eat yellow flat noodles if they are part of Hokkien Mee, and never in soup.
22. I played lots of sports and tried different types of exercises growing up. Volley ball, Badminton, Table Tennis, Tennis, Squash, Cycling, Bowling, Cross-country running, Kickboxing, Pilates etc. I realized I only played team sports where the other team is on the OTHER side.
23. My favorite cocktail is a hurricane which I first tried in New Orleans.
24. I want to complete at least one triathlon this lifetime, but first I need to learn to swim the freestyle properly, do so in open seas AND to cycle on the road.
25. E, my 2 girls and I hug, kiss and say "I love u"s to each other each time we leave the house for work/ school.
