Backstage Access

Let me just quote "The Beginning of Everything" P.239 by Robyn Schneider, where I finally found exactly how I felt about voicemail-ing: Some people have a fear of public speaking; I have a fear of leaving voice mails.  Something about talking into a void, about having your voice recorded, unrehearsed and with no warning, has always made me hopeless at getting the point across.  So yeah .. Voicemails and I .. ? .. Not gonna happen.

I hate eyedrops. Remember the scene on one of the episode of "Friends", the one with Rachel and eyedrops? More or less it's like that.

I love fitting on branded clothes ad shoes. I can't afford them, but at least I wore them once and saw how gorgeous I looked in them.

I love browsing for gifts.  Love it even more when I don't have to spend a dime,  just for the sake of choosing and preparing one from all those cute and good things I don't see me buying it for myself.  But usually it will come down to two choices, which I find it hard to single out. I will need second opinion for that.  (I'm pretty much indecisive, most of the time, I know).  Oh, and I love wrapping gifts too, that all ribbon thingies.

I mostly do things from my left.  I hop on bikes from the left, I will fall down if I'm not doing it in that order.  I put on clothes starting from my left arm, otherwise I will get tangled and my arms will never see the light from the sleeve holes.

I save the best for last.  When I eat, I will save my favorite pieces of food till the last bites.  If I had to share it with others, I'd prefer giving the first half to the other person so I could be the one to finish the second half up.

They say we have to chew our food at least 32 times before we swallow.  I chew maximum 10 times (as if I got nothing better to do than counting my chews).  Thus I can't keep anything in my mouth for long.  I can't stand sucking hard candies, it will not survive more than one minute before I crush it into little pieces.  Soft candies suffer worse; as soon as they enter my devilish mouth, they're

doomed really soon.  

I can't cook.  I need a magnifier to pull thread into a needle hole.  Ironing takes a great effort of me.  I can't seem to master home-skills.

I'm a very sensitive person, a sappy one even.  I can easily cry on weddings, movies, songs, live concerts or shows, children performances, dancings, all things beautiful and sad.  Cry is contagious to me.

On the contrary, I can be as stubborn.  Try push me doing things I don't want to.  The harder it gets, the more impossible to move me.

I'm a childish collector, but I often get bored before I could stick to one thing and expand it into noticeable amount.  So my collections involve: pins, key rings, postcards, bookmarks, fancy letter papers and envelopes, gift wrappers, miniature perfume bottles, stuffed toys, stickers, Christmas cards, birthday cards and God knows what else I have in my closet.  Some of them I've been keeping since I was in elementary school.  And I'm very good in keeping memorabilias, mostly cards, such as birthday cards my family gave to me, a home-made valentine card I got from my brother (unbelievably cute and honest surprise, and he was indeed very young at that time), valentine cards I got in junior/senior high (one each and made me blushed for the whole week) and valentine cards from my husband.   If I only put the same effort in collecting gold and money, I'll be listed in the Rich and Famous.

I'm lousy in women fashion.  I don't like buying shoes, sandals, clothes and bags.  Most things I have right now, are either gifts or hand-me-downs.  Choosing fashion is frustrating to me.  I rarely can afford the ones I love or fit into the ones I can afford.  Let's just blame it on my taste and my size.

I can't stand wearing glasses continuously for long period, I will get a headache.  The lightest sunglasses could only stay on for about one hour maximum.  I'm glad my eyesight are good and I'd like to keep it that way for as long as I live.   

When I was in 5th grade elementary, my hair length touched my waist.  On 6th grade, I had it cut short and it's never passed my shoulder length since then.

I can swim four styles.  Had joined a swimming club for about 4 years, starting when I was seven.  Never got good records though.  People said that you would never forget how to swim once you learned it.  That's true.  I rarely swim now, but I can still do all the styles.  Only a matter of stamina.       

I am so terrified of the ocean.  Whenever I'm on a ship or ferry, it's either I have to feel the air breeze on my face (otherwise I will get seasick), or the trip has to be short enough before I can start imagining things happened like they did in Jaws, Open Water or Titanic.  Beaches are beautiful, though I prefer mountains anytime.  I can manage snorkeling or swimming near seashore, but do not expect me having my back facing the sea voluntarily.

My favourite animals are puppies and bunnies.

My favourite flowers are roses and lilies.

My favourite number is 2.  I'm the 2nd child in the family.  And 2 was the last number I could finally learn to write. 

The way I learn a song: Play and Repeat till I memorize all the lyrics.  Then I move to another song. 

I first joined a choir in my 2nd grade elementary for a festival.  I was so shy I could barely open my mouth when singing.  And my choir group won the 1st prize.  The rest is history.
