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.

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.
