23 Things About Bl3h.T....

Read this on a friend's blog and thought I'd make one myself. Here goes.

1. I was born in Hong Kong, but I was almost born in Japan and even almost on an airplane. My dad insisted that I was to be born in Hong Kong, and the night that my mum's plane reached hong kong, she started getting contractions and went into hospital. In the early hours of the next day, I was born.

2. I've had a little pillow that I have slept with for every single night up until I moved out of home (which was at like 17 :P). When I was little and whenever I got a stomach ache or a bad nightmare, I would talk to it and ask it to protect me from the pain or the bad dreams...hey...I was like 6 or 7...

3. When I was young, I also used to wake up at the early hours (2 or 3am) and would just sit at the kitchen and eat crackers. My mum once thought it was a thief who got hungry whilst breaking in.

4. I had a 'bowl cut' up until i was in grade 9 (i.e. when I was 14). and before that I had a massive 'rat-tail'. At the end of grade 11, I had a massive 'make-over' - haircut, braces off and contacts. I was born anew haha

5. If you have ever met me, then you would probably know this already, but i LOVE eating...I'm always hungry and will always be up for eating a nice meal, whether it be asian, italian, greek...pretty much any type of food. I also get SUPER hungry when I go out drinking - my friends have to literally PULL me away from the food.

6. I had a lisp for almost my whole life. I would have trouble pronouncing 's' and 'th' sounds. One day I recorded a radio program for an assignment in my last year of high school and heard how bad my lisp was, I was determined to get rid of it...and after a few hours of practising, it did go away.

7. I have only met one of my grandparents - my mother's mother. However, she had alzheimer's disease which meant that she never remembered who I was.

8. Up until two years ago, I only got to see my dad twice a year, and never for more than 2 weeks at a time. But those two weeks were worth it, as I would get heaps of presents from japan and also spend time with my dad.

9. I've owned both a guinea pig and a baby duck before. However, it wasn't for long as I was forced to give my guinea pig away and my duck died of unknown reasons....I was 12 and I was devastated. I never owned a pet after that.

10. I am horrible with electronics. Within my 2.5 years of being at university, I have broken 2 laptops, 1 desktop computer, 2 computer monitors, 1 GPS mount and at least 10 -15 pairs of headphones. My friends say I'm cursed.

11. I have always been scared of big dogs. This was because I was chased by a dog in the park when I was about 4 and it bit my hand. I have never gotten over this fear of dogs.

12. I can't drink milk in the mornings and only in the afternoon and nighttime. If I drink it in the morning, I get terrible stomach aches for the rest of the day.

13. I have never broken a single bone in my life.

14. Even though I studying to be in the health profession (pharmacy), whenever I get sick I get worried and I try to diagnose myself using the internet. I get even more worried if any of the symptoms do match mine. I have once convinced myself that I had menigicoccal C, swine flu, cold sores, menigitis etc. But each time it had turned out to be wrong and it was something extrememly minor.

15. When I get depressed or if I can't seem to concentrate, I like to go driving around to random places in my car with loud music. I find this helps me to relax.

16. Even as a little kid, I have found it to be very intimidating and uncomfortable speaking cantonese to my friends and try not to, however, I have no problems speaking it to my loved ones.

17. I met my best friend from school in grade 7. We stopped hanging out for the next 3.5 years of high school. In math class one day during grade 11, I decided to sit next to him again. Since that day we have become best friends.

18. Even though I am studying pharmacy, I often forget to take my own medication or go against what I tell the patients at work, such as taking a little bit more than I should =P

19. I have witness the birth of a child before. It was one of the most amazing and scary thing in my life.

20. I usually hate calling people, even to my friends - I prefer to text. The only people who i do feel comfortable talking on the phone to is my loved ones. Whenever I do have to make a phone call, I usually play through the whole scenario in my head before calling and have the whole conversation planned out.

21. I am EXTREMELY indecisive. All my friends get absolutely irritated this part of me.

22. I have never been on a holiday with my family as a whole before. We never do travelling as a family. This is why I made it my goal to save up money so that we could go for a holiday somewhere as a family. Hopefully, one day I will have travelled the world as well and hopefully it will be done with the one I love.

23. I've had four of my teeth taken out because my jaw was overcrowded. I've also had a chunk of my ear cut off by a barber when I was about 12.

Well heres 23 things about me and hopefully you know me better now. Until next time.
