ten things meme.

naomi tagged me for this. great for some late night blogging!

so for your reading pleasure, here are ten weird things about me. (:

1: my favourite source of protein is chicken. followed closely by tofu. i always eat chicken whenever i have a choice. strangely enough, my favourite part is the breast, which is notorious for being dry and tough. but when cooked well, it's really yummy, plus it's nice and lean, and therefore, healthy! i especially like my chicken roasted, and eaten with a big, colourful salad.

2: i don't wear the colour grey at all; i just don't like the way it looks on me. i think it's just one of those colours that don't flatter me. oh well, can't ask for everything, can i?

3: once i cried on christmas day because everyone got me books. i know i love to read, but as a kid, getting a big stack of books for christmas and nothing else was rather tragic. you know how much variety matters to an 8-year-old.

4: i'm terrible at reading maps. just recently, i nearly got a friend and myself lost on the way to somewhere we'd never been before because i misread the directions on the map. okay, let's just say i lack a sense of direction. ;)

5: i wear glasses by choice instead of contact lenses. this is because i've got really sensitive eyes which get itchy rather easily. wearing glasses may be a hassle at times coz they get in my way when i'm playing sports or working out, but i'd rather live with the hassle than to risk infecting and irritating my eyes when wearing contact lenses. anyway the frames they make nowadays are so funky and i definitely don't have a problem with that!

6: i adore chick flicks! a good chick flick makes me feel all warm and bubbly inside, and i leave the cinema or turn off my dvd player with a big grin on my face. chick flicks are made even better when watched with a bunch of girlfriends. some favourites are 13 going on 30 and bridget jones' diary.

7: i do not own a single dress, and neither do i plan to invest in one anytime soon. i wear skirts once in a while, but dresses are way too feminine for my liking. my friends are always trying to find excuses to talk me into getting one. the fact that most of my nearest and dearest are turning 21 this year seems to be one of their biggest ploys; they claim i need to wear dresses to parties. but i maintain that i can look pretty in pants too.

8. i love spicy food, i don't tolerate it too well sometimes, but i eat it anyway because it's way tasty. and then i start tearing at the dinner table and my nose starts running. it makes me look terrible. but i really love food doused in spicy curries and chilli sauces! my favourite is thai tom yum soup, which always makes me cry!

9: my favourite comics are baby blues and peanuts. baby blues never fails to make me laugh, and i really love zoe and hammie's antics. and there's this innocent old-school charm about peanuts, plus i love linus and his blanket!

10: i hate hairdressers who try to push me into straightening or rebonding my hair. it's a silly idea to do so when i can get round my wavy hair problem by getting a cute short cut. plus, it's bothersome to mess with what nature has given me. if a hairdresser tries to talk me into rebonding my hair, i never go back to that salon. good thing i've found a really nice lady who's a great hairdresser.

i'm not tagging anyone because i'm too tired to think, so goodnight. i'll update more soon. (:
