1. I'm going to be an accountant but I have no idea what an accountant does.
2. I'm an intuitive person. Most of my decisions are based on instincts, and most of the time, the choices are right.
3. There was a time when I wanted to be a preacher, but I didn't have the guts to tell my father. My mother's response was: "A preacher? YOU?" -_-
4. Come to think of it, I'm not sure whether I have any guts at all.
5. I love oldies, and my favourite is I'm Never Gonna Fall In Love.
6. My all time favourite is Drops of Jupiter by Train. It won Song of the Year in the 2001 Grammys.
7. According to ancestrial records, my father is the 13th generation of the family. And he is the first male in the 13 generations to defy all family customs by marrying a non-Chinese. Males before him have always married pure Hainanese women. (All in the name of love)
8. Thus, my family don't really follow any customs, save for those popular ones, like giving red packets during Chinese New Year.
9. I'm not close to any of my grandparents.
10. I wish I was closer to my maternal grandparents. I know my late grandfather thought of me often.
11. My late grandfather was a Roman Catholic Catechist, meaning that he is second in power after the priest in the church.
12. I was so so close to becoming a country girl. If my parents didn't relocate to the peninsular, I will be climbing coconut trees now, or maybe riding the family buffalo. Kinda cool eh?
13. I'm taking up scrapbooking, and I think I'm gonna love it.
14. Scrapbooking costs money because I'm starting from scratch.
15. I don't have money. Well, I do have but not much.
16. After finishing my diploma I stopped playing the piano completely. I only play it for Children's Church. I wish I didn't stop. Now it's gonna take a lot of work to hone back my skills.
17. I can't sing. I really wish I could but I can't, unless I use a fake voice which sounds totally abnormal.
18. I can't dance either.
19. I hate the taste of beer. However, I drank pepermint wine once, and I love it.
20. I have 55 cousins, not including my father's side of the family. The eldest being 33 years old, and the youngest just turned 1.
21. I'm not close to any of them. (separated by the South China Sea)
22. My favourite historical character is Marcus Aurelius Antoninius.
23. My favourite historical event is the American Civil War. Not that I like war, but that war was particularly interesting and touching.
24. In theory, communism works. IN THEORY. I totally agree.
25. I hate it when artists reproduce songs sang by other artists. Don't these people know that no matter how hard they try, they will never beat the original?
26. I like war movies and documentaries. It reminds of the sufferings of war and how important it is to preserve peace.
27. I don't drink soft drinks. Not even Coke.
28. This is because each time I drink those drinks, the gas will come out from my nose. It hurts.
29. I used to have breathing problems when it gets really cold. But I think I'm okay now.
30. I get emotional easily. I cried when I listened to Martina McBride's God's Will.
31. I cried when my mother told me of a girl who didn't get to finish her English essay paper in a major examination because the school conveniently forgot to classify her under 'disabled'. Thus she was not given extra time for the exam.
32. I cried when I watched The Passion of Christ
33. Come to think of it, I cry a lot. But I never let it show.

35. I am terrified of dogs.
36. But I love cats.
37. I used to rare a fighting fish, but it died.
38. I'm really blur. But if you know me, you should know that by now.
39. I still watch cartoons. Not only those japanese animation, but those really kiddy cartoons like Bob the Builder.
40. I love movies and drama series.
41. I find Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz hilarious and I don't understand why people don't find it funny. Ah well, different people have different tastes.
42. Warcraft III - Reign of Chaos is the only computer game that I can win. Emphasis on ONLY.

44. I like musical dramas. Les Miserables is the best ever!
45. I am interested in Egyptian mythology.
46. I don't believe in astrology.
47. But I do believe in God, because God is Almighty and loving. And it's great having someone like that in control of my life instead of a bunch of stars. Stars are just balls of gas.
48. My desktop background is that of Hitsugaya Toushiro, 10th Division Captain of the Gotei 13 of the Soul Society in Bleach. He carries the most powerful ice-zanpaktuo, Hyourinmaru. If you don't know what I'm talking about, please come and see me and we'll have coffee. I promise you after I'm done, you'll be hooked.
49. My chosen nickname is Luthien Tinuviel, an elf princess from Middle Earth who risked her life for her love, Beren. Death is not all that bad, but watching someone you love die is absolutely devastating.
50. I actually read medical encyclopedias. Gosh I'm such a freak.
There you go. 50 things about me that you may not know and I hope you have known me better after reading this. There are many more, but let's leave that for another day.
