i've seen people who were "tagged" and have to share 7? or was it 3? interesting things about them that people don't usually know. i wasn't tagged but i thought it would be fun to share something about me. i tried to think of three so here they are. :p
1. i have a love-hate relationship with bath time. tsk tsk. Yep. Well, i like to be clean. Correction. i AM clean. But i would usually hate to step into the shower, i don't know why. i can drag my feet, deliberately wait for everyone else to go first, find stupid excuse that i can't bathe on a full stomach or i have to watch a tv program, etc etc. Maybe i was a cat in my previous life. BUT the thing is, the moment i step into the shower, i can't get out. hehe. i can spend ages in there. Ok i exaggerate but mummy always say i like to take my own sweet time in there. So i have to make myself shower the first thing i reach home else i know i would only hit it at 11pm. Well it makes sense and i like it too cos it would leave me time to do everything else with the one thing i dread completed. Just like today. :)
2. i think cleaning is therapeutic. hee... i have to admit i don't clean my room very often. The usual stuff i use, yes but there are some stuff which i take out only once a year to dust them. But i like cleaning cos i think it gives me time to keep in touch with my inner self. A time to quiet down and concentrate on me.
3. Likewise i think ironing is therapeutic too. But i really hate ironing too. That's another love-hate relationship of mine. That is why i try to buy clothes that do not need much ironing or if you see me wearing the same thing over and over again, it would be that i've no time to think about what to wear that morning so i picked whatever is most convenient OR the other clothes are not ironed yet. i usually would iron one HUGE pile at one go. So if i dress differently, it would be that i had just done my ironing for the month. :p But i do do quickie irons especially if i'm in the mood for a dress that morning. hee...
4. i'm terribly sentimental. If i like something or someone, it's probably for a long long time or forever. That is why i love to keep stuff of sentimental reasons. Photos, gifts from that someone, etc. i hoard stuff though i try not to do that now. Esp with the space restriction at my current home. But that is why i'm really bad at de-cluttering and take AGES to clean out stuff. My sentiments especially during spring cleaning time right now. i can take one whole day to just clean my bookshelf which i would take out book by book, dust, air, run though a few pages, think fondly of the memories i've had associated with it and put them back. i love reading my year books especially. LOL. i think i'm getting better cos i've no space for the new stuff so some old stuff really has to go. But not without some heart ache. :p
5. Hmm... from the above i think it's easy to tell that i'm a procrastinator. OMG! This is the 5th thing you din know about me. i think i'm really good at this. hehe.
6. i'm also a planned disorganiser. i'm terribly disorganised yet organised and easily distracted. i mean i like spontaneity. i had meant to think of 7 things but thought that is too much so i settled at 3 but as i type, more things come to mind and something leads to another and yet another till my thoughts are all jumbled up. So i would go back to the top again and go through everything again and new things would pop up along the way. And it goes on...
Oh just as i'm about to end this post, i suddenly recalled something that i had meant to share while i was in the shower late last night during which gave me the brainwave to write this post. (So now you know. And that is why item 1 is no. 1 on the list here. :p)
7. i'm a horrible medicine eater. i can't swallow tablets especially the bigger ones. i really marvel at people who can pop a few at one go. i'm the sort who would need one big mouthful of water per pill. i hate tablets especially cos they leave a bitter taste on the tongue. i have to place them right at the back of the tongue just before the throat so that it can get washed down with a gulp. i hate the bigger tablets cos they always get stuck at the back. i hate the tiny ones too cos they are really good swimmers and like to hide under my tongue when the wave comes in and so i have to frantically "find" them before i swallow that mouthful of water. But i love capsules. Cos they are so easy to swallow and tasteless. Give me a capsule anytime. But of course best is i don't fall sick. :p
8. i get "cured" miraculously just by stepping into my doc's clinic. It's weird but whenever i visit my family doctor, i think my symptoms would reduce. So i only visit him when i'm REALLY seriously ill else he'd think i'm trying to fake a mc, though he would usually give me cos he know i'm a good girl. :p
AHA! Point #6 proven! And i've got 8 things on the list now! haha. Target exceeded. (^^,)v
But WAIT! As i was proof reading this post again, i suddenly thought of another one!
9. i like being on the phone. When i was growing up, i remember fighting with my brother over the use of the phone. In sec school, i vaguely remember my holiday ritual of calling up my primary classmates to keep in touch. But that died a natural death as i was grew up. And all the other countless chit chatting with friends, gossiping about schoolwork, crushes, relationships, etc. i like the closeness and bonding talking over the phone brings. You just feel closer listening to the voice of the person. i'm a very good listener. Ironically with the invasion of mobile phones, i have talked less over the phone. In fact, talking over the phone seems so taboo now.. It feels like you are imposing on someone else's time/space cos everyone seems so busy. If you want someone to talk to, just give me a call. Anytime.
