25 things about me - 4 years later

1 Love is a big part of my life - I would feel empty without it. Love for life, for people, and for the little things that make us smile.
2 I'm easily happy.
3 I have a big love for languages - including the non-verbals.
4 And I occasionally dream in Japanese. Or have sudden Japanese exclamations in my drunk subconscious state.
5 I like to write. Whether it's for the beauty of words or the lost art of handwriting, it intrigues me. (cue: title of this blog)
6 I would have a baby tomorrow if I could. (Man or no man around)
7 That being said, I have a theory that kids are cute until they are 5, thereafter they should be sent away. And then I can claim them back at 13. I find their teenage years endearing.
8 ID kids are my soft spot.
9 But I'm also the type of crazy person who would feel bad for serial killers.
10 My alcohol tolerance is still the same as before - half a can of beer. Anything beyond would send me into space.
11 I think that imperfection is what makes photos beautiful.
12 I have strange eating habits, that have been likened to rabbits, hamsters and 4 year-olds.
13 My music taste is just as haphazard - I don't know that I'll like it until I do.
14 When I travel, I go all out to experience.
15 India - travel dope of choice.
16 Multiple orgasms. Nuff said.
17 I steal blankets.
18 I internalize mostly (i.e. sad > angry). Also linked to low assertiveness skills.
19 60% feeler, 40% thinker - Feelings come first, then thinking sets in.
20 I fear loneliness. But it is not the same as being alone.
21 I used to have people. Now I have a person. You're my person.
22 When in doubt, I remember that things happen for a reason. It's just God's preparation for something better.
23 I believe that in this world, there is no black and white. It is a huge patch of grey, where you mark your own boundaries of black and white.
24 My life has just started.
25 I love Jesus.


Now read what I wrote 4 years ago. 

Instruction says - If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you - implying that it is imperative that you write one too.

1 I'm always late. (like how I'm late for lunch with wensheng now cause of writing this)
2 I go crazy over stationery like notebooks, paper, boxes. I can spend up to $100 on them in a week.
3 Shopping is integral in my life, it's important that I get my weekly if not daily dose.
4 And no I'm not rich even though I live at Sixth Ave which really is just a name of a road.
5 Anything that is heart-shaped (preferably red) can stop me in my tracks. Even an inconspicuous heart-shaped leaf lying on the road can catch my eye. Needless to say, valentine's day gets the better of me.
6 Sashimi is a staple, just like sushi and all other japanese food.
7 You may notice my sudden outbursts of Japanese for the lack of better expressions in English or Chinese. (even though pple don't understand me and think I'm crazy)
8 Which brings me to the fact that I like Chinese. CL1101E is highly recommended.
9 I'm effectively quadralingual including French.
10 Thinking is something I do alot, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, just like worrying. It's difficult to get into my head and pry the thoughts from within unless I've known the person for a long, long time.
11 Dogs make me happy. Their eyes takes you away from the deceit and lies of people. All dogs are cute, but Toffee is irreplaceable.
12 I don't eat shark's fin precisely for people to follow suit in an effort to save the species (which is dying from the rapid killing for their fins to satisfy the tastes of the lavish and ostentatious)
13 I strongly encourage people to refuse flyers in order to save the trees because I believe that environmentalism is more important than the salary of the flyer distributor, who should have looked for a more constructive job altogether.
14 Vegetables appeal to me more than meat. But if I had my way, I would like to become a dessertarian.
15 I thought about shaving my head for cancer cause before but there were too many repercussions though I still would like to do it.
16 I wish that I started playing volleyball earlier so that I could have had a chance to pursue it further.
17 My brothers are two people that I cannot live without because they scold me like my parents and talk to me like my friends.
18 I think that I will die by either falling down a staircase or in a car accident because I like to jump down the stairs too many steps at a time and cross the road without looking.
19 My low alcohol tolerance (just as bad as my sense of time) never fails to provide good stories for reminiscing. Which brings me to the night before last night when I first puked after drinking. Some say I vomitted like the merlion.
20 I donate blood every 3 months because that's the most often you can go.
21 Grey's Anatomy and Gilmore Girls are my favourite TV shows. I like Grey's because they have terrible values and good principles at the same time. Gilmore Girls is just purely a classic.
22 I am a Grade 7 in piano.
23 I like Bath & Body Works' sweet pea shampoo and Shokubutsu's oatmeal body wash.
24 I am now devastated that derek did not propose to meredith (what an idiot) after watching S5E14.
25 I am afraid of lizards.



So similar but yet so different. In retrospect, identity is just a fluid form that is ever-changing.

all that matters, is today(: -
