FACTS.

Its 2am in the morning & here I am blogging about facts about myself. //sideline: my bodyclock is really screwed & I need to adjust it back to normal ASAP because Prac is starting this week, technically, Monday.

So, most of you guys know that there is this 20 facts about me thingy on Insta & Matt tagged me into doing it. I kinda like such stuff actually cause it makes me think about facts about myself & so many came to my mind that I had to choose them. So, I decided to blog about more facts about myself. (I find this so amusing to myself).

The cool thing about this 20 Fact thing is that:

1) I get to know more stuff or those hidden secrets about my friends or strangers.

2) It's kinda like a "how well I know my friend" checklist. Like when you see this fact about your friend, you'll go either "Yeah, I know that! Hahahah" or "Omg, I didn't observe that" etc. 

 *****************************

So, let's get started people!

1. I love peanuts or anything sweet with peanut.

Peanut butter, peanut pancakes, peanut-filling tang yuan etc (I just ate 5 of those just now, it was goodness!)

2. I did more sports as compared to now.

When I was younger, like in my primary school days, I went swimming & roller-skating every weekend. I participated in this Sports Programme where we did tons of sports like rugby, floorball, netball, badmintion, track, soccer, basketball & loads more.

3. I can't stop talking.

Hahah, I wouldn't classify this as bad but its not good either. I think its my nature to blabber on and on and on. A reason why I do so, is to break the ice or lighten the mood. I personally find it weird when people keep quiet & there's this really strange feeling & I hate such stuff, so I TALK.

4. I have some sort of a checklist for myself everyday.

Yes, a checklist. On days where I feel the task to be done is more important like school stuff, i'll jot them down on paper like post-it but there are some days, I type them either on my phone or lappy & of course, my extreme chill days where I have them in my head. And some of my to-do things can be as simple as "clear the rubbish bin" or "get rid of receipts". 

I hope this is not a form of OCD because I just like to have a rough idea of what I would like to do with my day.

5. I'm Hainanese.

My popo used to make really really delicious chicken rice balls during Chinese New Year (FYI: its the authentic way of eating chicken rice & also in the past, it was easier for the farmers to bring them around while they were farming cause they were in little balls sizes so they'd just pop them in their mouths during lunch)

But sadly, I can't speak Hainanese except for the basic sentences & with very limited vocab. However, I can understand Hainanese! I'm the better one with understanding it. And despite being Hainanese, I can speak Hokkien & Canto better. Maybe because I have more exposure to them than Hainanese.

6. My willpower & determination is pretty low when it comes to exercising.

It's like there are times whereby I have this "I AM GONNA RUN MORE" vibe & the next day, whooosshh there it goes out of the window (: Hahahah, I can't stick to a particular exercise regime for nuts. Maybe because I am simply too lazy.

7. Kate Spade is my #1 favourite high-end brands.

I guess this is because for my Cous's sweet 21 or something, she received this turquoise kate spade wallet & I was swooning over it the moment I laid eyes on them. Then I started to find out more about the apparels they sold & stuff. So, last year when I got my scholarship money, the first thing I splurged on was this Kate Spade Iphone cover as a reward to myself. I used it till June 2013 but it's kept safely in a box right now (:

8. I'm real tight with my couzzies.

I know of friends who aren't close with their cousins & only see them maybe twice or thrice a year but I am ever so thankful that I've this close bond with them. Though Faith stays in Aussie & Charis and Jare'el are in Switzerland, we still stay well connected with each other (:

9. I still am in contact with 2 of my kindergarten school mates. 

How cool is that! (: Ash & Dora. Well, the coolest thing is: our birthdays are a day apart. Ash & Dora's birthdays are on 11th Feb (And nope, they aren't related. Pure coincidence) while mine falls on the 12th Feb. So, in the past we used to celebrate at Pastamania or Swensens. And up to now, I still miss them dearly.

10. I sleep talk while I'm on the phone.

There are nights when I'm talking to my friend & I just feel so sleepy & tired that I accidentally fall asleep. But the funny thing is, I speak out whatever that is happening in my dream.

True Story - I was talking on the phone with Halim when I fell asleep. In my dream, I was told to wash the dishes & according to Halim, I told him to wash the dishes. HAHAHA yes, I told him to wash the dishes! He was kinda blur like "whuuuttt".

11. I can spend a whole day in a bookstore/Kikki K/ arts & craft shop.

Places like these, fascinate me & I love the idea of being able to explore every single thing in the shop. Analyze them, touch them, go through them. I just love places like these.

12. I have this dream of cafe-hunting

13. I am better at written Chinese then spoken ones. (My friends say I sound weird :( )

14. I do not eat mutton/lamb because I think that it has this weird smell & taste.

******************************

Stopping here because I'm getting really tired & sleepy. Having a running date with my bro later on before heading down to TPY to watch Nationals. (: Finally meeting my teammies & some old friends.

[edited on 25 Aug, 11.38am]

Just finished my run with my bro & even more facts popped out so here goes.

15. As much as I love Chinese now, I couldn't speak a single chinese word except my own name.

My parents & grandparents all spoke to me in English & when they tried to speak to me in Chinese, I would simply refuse to reply. I detested Chinese & I kept thinking that I was English so my mum enrolled me for Chinese tuition to let me know my roots. The tutor was really motherly & patient with me so that was how my Chinese improved and I fell in love with the language.

16. When I was younger, I used to tell people that I'm from America because I couldn't speak a single Chinese word.

17. I cannot eat Spicy food.

18. I initially had a set of straight perfect teeth but I now have bugs bunny tooth because I fell flat on my face trying to be "Wonderwoman".

Like every little kid, I wanted to be a superhero so I saw Wonderwoman wearing her cape & she managed to fly off the high tower. So, curious & adventurous Ernchi decided to try to from her double-decker bed. She wore her blanky round her neck, clipped it together with a clothe-peg 

JUMP OFF THE DOUBLE DECKER BED

AND AND

"SMACK" she fell flat on her face and both of her front tooth stuck out. 

19.  I'm easily contented.

I get contented by the littlest things, such as receiving a balloon, a phone call from someone I've not met in ages, when I coincidentally bump into friends that I've not met for ages, walking into Kikki K. store, baking, buying the old-school ice cream, fishing and stuff like that.

20. I can never be sad for more than a day.

Though there are days where I keep saying that I'm sad or what, it never lasts for more than a day. And even when I'm sad, I can still smile. Unless if I'm feeling blue then it's a different thing. Feeling blue happens in a day but I have happy intervals as well.

( I can never comprehend girls' emotions)

21. My natural hair colour is brown.

22. My favourite facial feature are my eyes.

23. I actually love my short hair more than my long hair.
Though the boy prefers my long hair. In fact, most of my guy friends prefer my long hair too. I think guys like girls with long hair by default.

24. I have this wish of going to every part of SG.
Like though I've been living in SG for the whole of my life, I'm very very certain I've not been to every part of SG yet. Who knows there are many many more places to visit.

25. I wanna go cafe hunting.

26. I suck at saving, BIG TIME.

27. I'm not fond of porridge, it'll be my last choice of food to eat.

28. I have this undying love for eggs.

29. I'm in love with Jap food, one can never get sick of it.

30. I have a collection of Archie comics & I'm still a die-hard fan of them.

Glitters & Diamonds.

First post after the exams. Been wanting to blog but at the same time, I gave myself a thousand & one reasons to not blog because I AM JUST SO LAZY.

Gonna tell you guys more about Colours Run 2013 in the next post once I get all the pictures but to sum it all up, IT WAS ONE HELL LOAD OF COLOURFUL FUN! :D Wouldn't mind joining it again next year if I have the chance to though it paying 55 bucks for it was a lil too steep.

So, the parents are away on holiday to Mongolia for a week & I can't describe how peaceful the entire house is. Good to have a break from all the nagging and all (: And this time, they were so spontaneous about their trip because the week before they flew, they just randomly dropped the bomb on us that they were going on a holiday. How cool is that? Going on a trip because you just feel like it.

So here are a few places I'm dying to go.

Already falling in love with them & I can't wait to set foot on these places & leave my footsteps there. Major wanderlust right now!! Sometimes, I really really envy those who have the ability to just fly to any country as and when they want to. The idea of getting to places you've not been to & getting to immerse in the culture of another piece of land. Ahhhhh, save up time!

Was told that the fammy & I will be heading to Gold Coast, Sydney for our EOY Holiday!! Finally, after so long! Kekekeke so stoked for it already. We'll also be driving up to Brisbane after that so that sissy can meet up with her bestie living there (: I really really love travelling, I think its one of my top favourite things to do (:

Now with the holidays here, I can finally catch up on stuff that I've been dying to do for ages! But 5 weeks of my hols are burnt because of practicum :( but but gut feel that its gonna be tons of fun cause I'm gonna spend time with the qties over there, missing them already! Just gonna make the best of the holidays to the best that I can.

Spent this whole week with the boy & it was really great seeing my favourite fella & waking up to that gorg face (: Just spending extra time because the next 5 weeks or even the rest of the holidays will be packed with school-related activities & I know that I won't have time for him.

I just got to a conclusion that, though I love the idea of spending every single day with Kaiwen but sometimes, the situation of circumstances don't allow me to do so. Spending every single day with the person you love is a privilege & not a must because we can't possibly throw aside our other commitments & push our friends away. 

I guess the next best thing, would be to just seize every moment you have & make the best out if it. And of course, there is no need to meet every single day though I just did. *guilty as charge.

" Every day spent is like an adventure & I guess we love each others’ presence & company that the days don’t matter neither do the numbers. The only thing that matters is you & your happiness. You. 

Because love is about being happy with the one you love & not through such ordeal. Love is a gift from God & people who are in love, should be ever so thankful to find someone to share their happiness & pain with. It’s a miracle to love someone & for that someone to love you back. " 

Part of my early Thursday morning gift for the boy, hehe (:

Final Countdown

Exams in less than 5 hours, all well-prepped (hopefully) & fingers crossed. One more day to freedom, I can just smell it already.

HOME.

 Gonna try something new for this post & let's see if you guys see the difference. (; Hehehehe. Just some visuals of Wednesday with boy. Today was amazing, might post more on it later because I have notes to do but to sum up today: 

 IT WAS AMAZINGLY AMAZEBALLS.

I'm so so happy that you enjoyed yourself & it was so great seeing all the people I love together, at the same time, spending quality time. Welcome to the Chang Clan (; we gotta do this more often, my kind of days.

I want the people I love to love you the way I do. I want people to see how amazing you are in my eyes,unfold the big heart you have, the reason why I choose to hold on despite the shit, I want them to see why you are the one. Well, not in a showy manner but rather for them to see the boy/man I love, through my pair of eyes. I want them to see it through your actions & not my words.

Exams are just next week & I'm gonna work my ass of to get it wel done.

XX.

Tightness.

As cheesy as this may sound, I love every single thing about you. Physical, Mental, whatever. The big things, the little things, every single thing. You don't even need the surprises (not that I don't want them), the expensive, fancy gifts but all you need to do is just smile & that is enough to make my entire day.

I'm trying my best to get them into words & describe this "I'm walking on sunshine, in heaven" feeling. It's amazing, it really is. You just want to love him with every ounce of energy you have & sometimes I secretly wish that my heart could pour out all the love that I have, just for you.

I just love being with you,y'know. We can be doing our own stuff but as long as you're there, it doesn't matter what we're doing. Thank you for reading my mind yesterday, knowing that I was uncomfortable with the stares & you had your arm wrapped round me. It was so heart-warming because I felt safe, like really safe. I didn't even have to say a word & you knew.

Girls, well most girls, have this needy feeling/vibe or whatever you call it. You just wanna be with the person you love 24/7, always wanting hugs, kisses & cuddles. And yes, I'm having one of those episodes right now. Sigh, I don't even know if that's a good thing but I'm already missing my boy though the last time we met was like an hour ago & we even spent a productive evening.

Hehehe, thankfully the boy understood & he secretly likes it too (; Yayyy, showering me with loads of hugs & kisses. Honestly, I can't ask for anyone better cause he's da best.

So much love for you b, muah.

A little Saturdate.

Just gonna share about my Saturday & some visuals from the week! This week has been cray cray but I'm so glad that the whole project workload is 95% complete! Its those "OMFG, IM FNALLY DONE" & a whole 100kg weightload is off your shoulders.

I couldn't have done it with the help & support of my groupmates, Pheebs & Fatimah. Its been so so awesome working with you guys, really & I'm so proud of our end product for CRC, like a proud mama! My classmates who were very supportive as well and lastly, the boyfee. Thank you so much for always making sure that I'm okay & calming me down when I'm all stressed up & upset at how busy I am. Thank you for being my pillar of strength & I know that I count on you no matter what (: so so so much love for you!

Headed back to school on Sat morning, not really my kind of thing but it was to submit the art pieces as well as to set up for the art exhibition so oh wells. There were so many gorg art pieces as well, think CPEE students secretly have art talents.

Headed to town with JiaXin cause I was gonna meet the boy & she was gonna meet her friend. Was so happy to see the boy though we just met on Friday night (I'm always extremely elated to see him). We headed to Taka Basement to eat this Jap food cause he knew I was craving for Jap & it was darn good & cheap, most def heading back there again. Hehehe and the boy surprised me with the turqoise bracelets he bought from H&M, shooo prettz!

Walked around a lil before he sent me home. Prepped for Bro's birthday dinnz & of we went! Dinnz was good as always, I think I can eat Cold crab for days & days without bothering about the sky-high cholesterol I'm gonna get.

 Happy 15th birthday bro, love you so much! You're the best brother any sis could have. Your heart is so beautiful because you're always willing to help the people love without getting anything back in return. Whenever I'm in the midst of a project discussion, thinking of what materials I need, you'll suddenly appear with of all them. Forever putting others' happiness infront of yours & I want you to know that you are capable of so so many things, you just gotta have faith in yourself. Love you!

Pretty much sums up my entire week! Slept at 3am last night while watching the boy complete his project & woke up this morn with this productive vibe. Three things ticked off my checklist ; it's gonna be one productive day. 

I CAN FEEL IT!
