25 Random Things about Me

Made this note for Facebook, just duplicating it here.

The first 10 items were stolen from my previous blog entry.

1) I laugh when amazed. instead of going "wow" or "that's cool!", I actually go "hahaha".

2) At the age of 6, I secretly heated up the cigarette lighter in the car and burnt my cheek with it. I felt no pain and stopped when my mom and sis noticed the burn smell and stopped me. There still is a light spiral mark on my cheek up till today.

3) When I was a toddler, I liked to stick my hand between elevator doors when they are closing. And each time, I'd get my hands 'kiap-ed' and start crying. My hand was even 'kiap-ed' once by the car door wtd! Now I have a broken thumb.

4) I have a super hard skull. I cracked the windshield of a Beamer with my head and again, I felt no pain.

5) I didn't know how to whistle until I was 16. wtd! I'm a late bloomer, that's all I can say.

6) I used to lie my way out of going to kindergarten. I came up with dumb excuses like I'm having a tummy ache everytime my dad turns the corner towards the kindergarten.

7) I like to stuff big and bulky stuff into small plastic bags. I would make my babysitter sweat profusely everytime I throw a tantrum when I was unable to get the stuff into the bag. I think that that habit is still with me up till today.

8) My head always go lopsided and hit the wall when she walks. I will then revenge by kicking the wall. not very wise i'd say.

9) I like to cry. My kindergarten teacher used to make her sit in a corner until I finish crying before I was allowed back into the class.

10) I'm 22 now and can still pass as a high school kid. SOOOO not something I'm proud of. WTD.

11) I buy bikes because I like the idea of owning one, and not because I need one.

12) I worry too much. I fret about things months ahead, sometimes years.

13) I love watching Gilmore Girls! Love the way they speak. If only i could speak as fast as they do.

14) Once I start a book, I've to finish it right away. If I stopped for more than a week, I'd start reading all over again.
