Random Things About Me

Been a little busy at work recently and life has been pretty much the same, nothing really different. Have been thinking about stuff but not going to talk about it, lest people stumble in their faith. I strongly believe that whatever happens, God has a reason and a purpose.

Anyway, this post, I'm going to cut and copy 25 random things about me and add more details to each point and add more random things about me. And after reading this post, I won't blame you if you decide to drop me as a friend or think that I'm strange and weird.

So this is it.... random things

1) I'm glad that I married to my best friend. Met Babe in church when I was 15, sparks flew from my end, and at 18, we started dating, spent quite a bit of our relationship in a long distance relationship. Dated for 10 years and finally, we got married. We're now into our 7th year of marriage. Praise the Lord!

2) I'm obsessed with pink. Seriously! Yes, very obsessed with pink. Wanted a pink car, but Babe obviously said no. Would be extremely happy if I can live in a house that's entirely pink!

3) I do not ever eat under a tree. I'm afraid that stuff will fall into my food!

4) I do not ever walk on grass barefooted. Hate bugs, creepy crawlies and worms!

5) I hate and can't deal with leaves of branches touching my face or any parts of my body. So it means, I'm not very into hiking or bushwalking. I associate leaves and branches with the above, bugs and worms.

6) I don't know how to iron clothes. I admit, that I suck it at it.

7) I don't know how to sweep the floor. Yes, again, had a maid to do household chores and have no desire to learn how to sweep the floor. I can vacuum and use magic clean though.

8) I hate doing housework. So that explains 6 and 7. Yes, completely hate it. Would rather outsource it than to do it myself.

9) I've got 3 best female friends and a best male friend and that's not the one that I married. My best friends are listed in the order that I met them. Lina (now known as Qiao Yun) is my cousin, so I guess I met her when we were babies. We grew up through but we got closer when her mum passed on and we hung out a lot during that time. She understands me as she has seen my childhood and me growing up. She loves me as I am without ever judging me or dissing me! Stanley, guess, we met in Sunday School when I was 6 or 7. Grew up together in Sunday School, he did his uni in Brisbane while I did my in Gold Coast. I believe God gave him as a best friend to keep me grounded in Him and to encourage me whenever I'm down. Am very thankful to have him as my best friend. Eve, met her at uni. We lost contact when I left Gold Coast. We reconnected again just 2 or 3 weeks before my wedding and she appeared at my wedding. Couldnt have asked for a better wedding gift! I went to do my masters in Sydney because of her and no regrets! Had the best time there. She lives in San Diego now, it's hard at times to call her or visit her but am very thankful to have her in my life. Sharon, love her. Met her when I started working in WDP. She made my days sunny when the going got really tough. Was really excited when she got married and last CNY, saw her son. If I could live in the same country with all my best friends, I'll not ask for anything else!

10) I love food, as you can tell from my size. oh yes, love food too much. Before touching down in Spore, I would already have a list of what to eat everyday and every meal too!

11) I have a slight issue with my weight. Well, relating point 10, but I am always learning to love my weight and size.

12) I'm not much a sport or nature person but I love snorkeling, that's my only sport and I really love being in the water too. And if shopping is a sport, I'll excel at it!

13) I love shopping, yes....I'm a shopaholic. I'm getting better at it. I mean, no impulsive shopping......getting better of not buying things that I don't really need.

14) I want another guinea pig and a rabbit, I used to have guinea pigs and rabbits but they died........I love pets but not cats please, have a slight phobia of them.

15) I can kill cockroaches with a smack and a whack. This is from years of living alone and needing to kill them myself.

16) Although I seem to be a really social person, I really enjoy my solitude at times. I enjoy shopping and walking around the city by myself. I treasure my alone time a lot.

17) I love to cook but don't ask me to wash up. Yes, cooking destresses me.

18) Driving relaxes me but at the same time, I have road rage. Ironic, huh?

19) I love traveling but I've a slight phobia of flying. Another irony.....I'm full of ironies, huh?

20) Hubby and me dated for 10 years before tying the knot. Look at point one. And after close to 17 years of being together, I still get butterflies in my tummy when I see him at the airport!

21) I can't deal with doing housework, therefore I outsource my cleaning. Cleaning takes too much of my time and I'm bad at it so I outsourced it.

22) I admit that I'm a really messy person, so please call before popping over.

23) I would love to have a dolphin for a pet. As a kid, I used to wish and literally dream that I had a dolphin as a pet.

24) I watch way too much television. On my off days or during my hols, you'll find me in front of the telly. I did the same thing for 2 summers in States too. Watch telly.

25) I believe that it's God's will for us to adopt a child. I believe that everyone of us has a purpose and our purpose is to adopt a child. We're still praying for that to happen.

26) I do not eat fruit that has seed that I've to spit it out. I know it strange so I don't ever eat custard apple or grapes with seed. And in Spore, my mum's maid would de-seed rambutans and lychees for me without me asking......She knows me well!

27) I have to eat with matching cutlery. This is the same with my sisters. It's just something that we're very accustomed to.

28) I love reading trash mags....

29) I almost need to read newspapers everyday, if not my day is not complete.

30) I love my current workplace more than my former workplace. But ask me this in 2 years' time, things might change.

31) I don't worry because I believe that God is in control of my life.

32) The best times in my life were probably when I was in uni, and both times, I was poor but had a great time! It was good learning experiences to lean on God's promises.

33) I admit that I may not be a very good Christian but I learning everyday to live better.

34) I have a love hate relationship with my home country.

35) I love to read and maybe too much, actually, maybe I love devouring information and therefore I love to read and surf the net.

36) I love to move, yes, seriously, moving allows me a new environment all the time, don't even know how many times have I moved in my life.

37) I've lived in Gold Coast, Perth and Sydney. Of the 3 cities, my favourite is Sydney.

38) I've always thought that someday I'll move back to Australia...and the irony, Babe may have an opportunity to do that, and I told him to tell his boss that no, we're not interested.

Okay, that's the random things that I can think of.....

So there, my 38 random notes about myself. Now, everyone knows that I'm strange and mad!
