1. Strange that I am sitting down and writing these 25 random things, ‘cos I thought I would never do this. Really!!!

2. When I was small, I was very afraid of dogs. I even dreamed of dogs biting me. Funny now I absolutely love my precious Kai. My family still calls me ouou (sounds like dog’s bark) – a nick name that I get since I was small. You could tell that I have a mean family.

3. I hope one day my parents (and brother, and sisters) could come here and live with me.

4. My mom pulled her hair out raising me. I didn’t do my homework, I cursed, etc. A note from my elementary school report card (which I kept till now) said I had horrible handwriting. LOL

5. I wonder why I was born as a female.

6. I have blue belt brown tip in Tak Kwan Do (high school). My mom strongly opposed to furthering my training. She felt that I was becoming too tomboy. LOL. No regrets for not getting black belt. I had fun.

7. When I was 14, I had the same hairstyle as Demi Moore’s in Ghost, the Movie.

8. My sisters are my best friends. I miss hanging out together. No matter how long we haven’t met each other, the bond will always be there. I love them (and my brother) tremendously.

9. Since i was small, I have dreamed to build a lovely family – a husband, three kids and two dogs. So far, only part of it has come through – i have one dog now.

10. I love books. I collect books.

11. I don’t like to read English books. No English books and English songs could affect me like Mandarin books and songs. I will never like English more than Mandarin. Never.

12. People see me as feminine and well put together – in fact, I am a tomboy and I love t-shirt and sweatpants. Oh yeah!

13. I don’t like to wear jewelry – well, I accessorize when I go out, but honestly, I don’t like to wear any jewelry, including watches.

14. I don’t like high heels. I love flip-flops.

15. I have a weakness in noodles – especially kangpua noodle. You could give me the fanciest menu in the world, and I would still order kangpua noodle. Oh well, that’s if shark’s fin soup is not on the menu.

16. I had my first kiss when I was 18, that followed by a relationship that last nine years long.

17. When I was 19, I won first prize in essay writing competition organized by a major newspaper. I still don’t understand why I won since the competition was fierce. I must be really good. 🙂

18. I often spend too much time imagining scenarios that would never happen.

19. Although I love my friends and could be a social butterfly, I feel like an outsider in most social gatherings. In fact, I am not a very social person. I don’t feel comfortable in any party. Spending time with flowers and trees in the nature makes me feel more at home.

20. I have acrophobia.

21. I like to travel the local style – use public transportation, eat at random cafes, walk without specific plans, etc.

22. I can’t stand men with no body hair.

23. I like to shop alone.

24. I am very good at investigation. I should be a detective.

25. I was a Sunday School teacher at a local church.

26. I lived in Taiwan for two years.

27. I don’t like rules, so I am not going to stop writing at #25.

28. Living in this foreign land, I often feel an ocean of loneliness sweeping through me.

29. I plan to settle down in two years.

30. I love old wooden furniture and old wooden doors.
