Friday
I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something - Helen Keller It's cold in here. Soothing to the eyes as I glance across the cosy ambience in my new office. I feel comfortable.
And as I'm sitting and thinking here, I have this urge in me to want to list down a few unacceptional unorthodox facts about myself that perhaps, I did not realised they were in me all these while.
So here goes:
- I have an unacceptionally good memory. Too good that at times, it startles me when I could suddenly just remember things that happened as far as 15 yrs ago.
- I'm a worry-wart. For example: If there's an issue which is not resolved or is facing a problem, the issue will stick to me like it's my Siamese twin. It will bother me so much that I can't do anything or function anymore.
*** Trying as much as I can to change this bad habit of mine. Trying to learn how to take things easier and not get so anal about everything.
- I never smoked in my whole entire life. (Though 90% of my circle of kawans do)
- I used to be very fickle-minded. I still am, but lesser. Thus, making me a one very indecisive woman when it comes to making choices in shopping (or life partner? haha)
- Colors overwhelm me. They blow me away so much that it amazes me and on the other hand, saddens me for knowing that some underprivileged people such as the blindsmen, could not see and appreciate the beauty of colors in this world. I mean seriously, have you ever thought about this? That these people don't even know what purple or green or blue means? Their world is just pitch black!
*** I have this secret wish which I made when I was about 8yrs old that when I grow up, I will device a way / machine to enable the blind people see colors and rainbows for the very first time.
- I have this knack of knowing whether I will have chemistry with him/her the very moment I speak to the person.
- I love dogs. Love them, love them, love them.
- In relation to colors, some of my favorite items are: crayons, paints, water colors, color pencils and... eye shadows.
- I adore flowers. Gerberas, Carnations, Tulips, Daisies and Lilies being my favorite.
- I am quite emotional. Therefore, tears flow out easily when I feel touched, saddened and angered.
- My left feet is slightly bigger than the right.
- I used to have asthma till I was 12 yrs old. I nearly died of dengue when I was 15.
- I can't live without Music. Music dictates my Life.
- I derive great joy in getting gifts for people. I honestly think that it totally revitalizes one's mind and soul.
- When I'm down (when I have access to my piano in Puchong), I can play and play away up till 8 hours nonstop. If without a piano - I paint. And of lately, I simply blog.
- I have always preferred noodles to rice. I have this secret urge to travel to Vietnam and try their noodles. They looked so yummy and inviting on Astro's Travel & Adventure.
- Speaking of food, I'm a street girl. I love street food. The great display of the many varieties of colors and smell is indeed a sight to behold. Hence, my liking for pasar malams and flea markets :)
- I freak my friends out by showing them how flexible my fingers are by bending them backwards.
- My family and friends think I'm impulsive and being too nice to people.
*** I shall prove them wrong.
- I dig black and white photographs.
Quote to keep in mind in keeping it real:
"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened before us." - Helen Keller
