This is the final installment of the 50 random facts about me series. Sorry it took so long to complete but I didn't actually plan to write the whole thing in one go. Besides, dividing the list into several parts keep the suspense going. :p
Anyway, here's the final ten random facts about me:
#41. I can't stand lame or tasteless jokes. Unfortunately I am often surrounded by people who do either or both of these.
#42. My boyfriend and I have a lot of things in common. We both love books, we enjoy intellectual conversations and of course, we just love good food.
#43. I sing in the shower. Though I'm not a very good singer.
#44. I want to go to Japan someday. And New Zealand, because I want to see the hobbit-houses.
#45. J.R.R. Tolkien is my favourite author. And so is Terry Pratchett (Pterry!). They're both awesome and beyond the world.
#46. I can be generous. My boyfriend and I share this view: money is to be spent, not stored.
#47. I don't like horror movies. Anything gore or downright violent freaks me out. But Resident Evil is an exception. :)
#48. I think Hugh Jackman is a hottie. So is Johnny Depp (have you seen him as Sweeney Todd in The Demon Barber of Fleet Street?).
#49. I love black pepper meat pie. Not the worst pie in London. *hintsreadpointabovehints*
#50. I get sad if I don't receive any emails in a day. Junk or spam emails don't count.
And one more.. (this is because #35 is a repetition of #12)
#51. I dream to own a book library. That'll be uber awesome.Labels: facts of life, random

This is my first entry in 2012 and I bet it's not yet too late to wish everyone a happy new year. I certainly wish this year would be a better year than the last.
Funny that my first post of 2012 should be another 10 random facts about myself. Well mostly it's because I can not think of anything else to blog about.
Ok, here's #31 to #40.
#31. I finally confessed to my parents about my boyfriend and my relationship..
On my graduation day no less.
#32. I've finally been to UK and France!
All within the space of two weeks. Cool huh? :D
#33. I easily get irritated over small things.
I don't know why this is so.
#34. I hate listening to horrible stories that involve motor accidents.
I find talking about mishaps that happen to other people is just plain gross and disrespectful.
#35. I don't like cooking..
Unless it's a special occasion or if I'm in the mood.
#36. I can not stand hot and spicy food.
And yet, I have this thing for food sprinkled with black pepper seeds and sauce.
#37. I don't like to be reminded of my ex-boyfriends.
Hahaha, I prefer the past to remain the past.
#38. I think Paris is only beautiful when it's not in winter.
I've been there, I've seen it.
#39. I dream of publishing my own book someday.
Unfortunately, the closest attempt at writing a book was when I wrote 100 words of incoherent nonsense. I guess I just don't have the talent to be a writer.
#40. At 25, I'm still jobless.
I know, how sad is that?Labels: facts of life, random

Continuing my journey of listing 50 facts about myself. Today I'll post #11-#20.
#11. I am an Anglophile. For the longest time, I've been wanting to visit England myself. Ever since I was young, I was fascinated by the culture, which resulted in me hoarding books on English history. :)
#12. I can barely cook. I don't like cooking, unless it's something or for someone I like.
#13. I like to take afternoon naps. This habit started when I was in high school. It was too tiring and hot to do anything in the afternoon so I opted to go to sleep instead.
#14. I am an attention-seeker. What can I say, I'm a Leo after all. ;)
#15. I like cute things. This involves hoarding cute and colourful stationeries which end up stored in boxes and unused.
#16. I wanted to get married by the time I reach 25 years old. But now that I'm 25 and still unmarried, I think I'll stretch it to 28.
#17. I once dreamt of owning a house near the beach. Now I know it's just not possible because there aren't any available lands near the beaches.
#18. I think people who eat bugs are weird. I don't mean any offence here, it's just how I feel.
#19. I'm acrophobic.
#20. I think cats are awesome creatures. They can be graceful and ferocious at the same time. It's been said, "you don't own the cats. The cats own you." Hahaha!Labels: facts of life, random

Due to the lack of geeky updates on my part, I shall occupy your time with 50 facts about me. I deliberately did not put it as 50 interesting facts about myself as it is entirely your prerogative to decide whether or not, these facts actually of any interest to anybody.
Anyway, let's get on with it.
#1. I am very self-conscious of how I look. I'm not pretty, in fact, I sincerely believe I am no where near that category.
#2. Au contraire to #1, I am a vain person. That can't be helped, I'm a Leo after all.
#3. I find intelligent men to be highly attractive. I don't go for looks, he can be average-looking but if he has the brain, he's my man.
#4. I don't believe in BFF (Best Friends Forever). This sort of thing is ephemeral. People come and go. If there's any, well it doesn't happen to me anyways.
#5. I talk to my favourite dolls. Yes, that me. I have 5 plushie dolls: Bunny Bun-Buns (bunny), Tatum Theodore 'Teddy' Threadbare (Me-to-You bear), Leonie 'Rex' Lion (lion), Tommi Tom-Tom (cat) and Phobos (Proboscis monkey).
#6. I like pink. This is my favourite colour ever since I was young.
#7. I'm not a very organised person. All my stuff are all over the place and I can't be bothered to put them in order.
#8. I LOVE shopping. But I normally spend the dosh on books and food, not so much on clothings or accessories.
#9. I love web design, history (especially ancient history) and astronomy. Funny combinations, but I just find the coalesce of arts and science to be amusing.
#10. I find chatspeak to be a crude way of communicating. 'Nuff said.
Shall continue on the next 10 facts some other time. Toodles.Labels: facts of life, random
