been tagged by minshan so I need to write down 21 things that people dunno abt me ('cos we're 21 this yr). Gosh, here goes... all my 丑事, haha:

#1: I used to be a shortie in primary sch. By some much-appreciated miracle, my height also (Minshan too, lol) up in Sec 1 and I like my height now. WAHAHA.

#2: My brother and I always call each other names: 'eh stupid', 'oi idiot...' and sometimes I call him by his full name '陈湧达'. But other times I also call him 达达. Its just a habit that grew over the years :P

#3: I used to be afraid of the mop in the toilet when I was a kid. My mum always inverted it & put it against the wall to dry it. I alw tot it look like the head of a ghost with long white hair.

#4: I love coffee. But except for those Starbucks & Coffee Bean drinks, I never drink coffee outside. I find them too thick for my preference. I like my Old Town 3-in-1 coffee best (:

#5: I am actually always quite nervous before presentation, altho I was told I looked damn calm and at ease. Heh. I guess I am gd at putting up fronts. HA.

#6: I never wear heels more than 3 inches. Initially it was cos of my ankle injury, but its also 'cos I think my height is fine, I don't want to be 'too tall'.

#6: I love new year not for the ang baos, but more for the chances to see some cousins whom I seldom see. But when I see them, I don't dare to go up to them to say how I miss seeing them around. Shy la... =P

This is getting difficult...

#7: I used to be a crybaby when I was a kid, so much so that my mum hated nightfall. I will bawl my lungs out, until next day the neighbours will ask: 'is ur baby ok? we could hear her cry when we were slping last nite'

#8: I have no more grandparents on both sides of the family. Sometimes I envy those of you all who are very close to ur grandparents... I only have some yrs with my maternal grandma before she passed away.

#9: Once when I was a kid, I secretly took a jar of chocolate into my room to eat. But I clumsily broke the jar and was discovered. GREEDINESS LED TO NO GD ENDING.

#10: I went to my first chalet/stayover only when I was in Sec 4.

#11: I used to like lighting up candles in my room. But I stopped cos I was told it attract those 'dirty things'. heh heh.

#12: Sometimes to appear less bored and more occupied on the train, I take out my phone and pretend to sms. That's when I forget my earphones and have nth to accompany me.

#13: I can get angry or irritated by certain things or people quite easily but usually I successfully suppressed my emotions. So I am not as gd-tempered as I appear to be.

#14: I used to be an early slp, early rise person. 10/11+ was my usual slping time.

#15: I hate people who doesn't give way to alighting passengers and once I purposely bumped into someone who was charging into the train. I think one day I might just shout at them to 让开!

#16: I can understand a bit of simple Malay 'cos my mum tried to teach me some when I was in primary sch.

#17: I was terrified of thunder. When I was a kid, I would cover myself with a blanket or hide behind the mattress during thunderstorms so I wouldn't 'hear' the thunder as much.

#18: Malay weddings used to remind me of #17. Me and my brother make my mum go crazy when the Malay weddings downstairs start hitting their drums and stuff. She will use all kinds of tactics to distract us. Sweets, walks, etc :P

#19: Dad lost me and my bro once on different trips to the shopping centers. I found my way to the information counter while my bro found his own way home. Clever kids eh? Mum never made him forget that when we were growing up.

#20: My fear/disgust/detest of cockroaches all dated back to the time I found this cockroach in between my bro's and my mattress when we were slping out in the living room. I was sort of just waking up, my hand went in between the mattress and I 'caught' a cockroach just like that. Dammit, talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time. We were still young kids. Both of us screamed like crazy. Cousin stayed over that time and we gave her the room.

#21: I am secretly happy (well, not anymore, now everyone noes) when friends from JC/pri sch who havent seen me for a long time can't recognise me. And then tell me how I've changed. HAHA. 不要脸~
