i’m fully aware i keep posting memes as entries but i’m in the midst of drafting one titled "my dream kid" and i need more time!

 

need to look for pictures you know.

 

anyway, meme!

 

as a sidenote, do you know the term "meme" was first coined by richard dawkins in "the selfish gene" back in 1976?

i think it sounds cute, just like how i think "blob" sounds squishy-cute, and "blurb" abruptly-cute.

 

okay, i know, i’m weird.

 

and so, random fact 1 of the day.

 

1. i like english. alot. i don’t quite know all the rules and shit but i can tell where exactly the grammatical errors are when i look at a sentence. i don’t know what’s a verb, i think i know what’s a noun. i know what’s an adjective. i can’t quite remember what’s a dangling modifier. (writ comm horrors!)

 

2. i really want my future kid to be dark and mysterious and named clementine. (more on this in the next entry) 

 

3. i pop mints like crazy. specifically eclipse spearmint mints. at close to 4 bucks a tin, this is an expensive habit, especially when it’s nearly 1 tin a day.

but you know what’s special about eclipse mints? 

even after you pop all of ‘em, you don’t get a tummyache. try that with ricola or lakerol and i guarantee you that after half a box, your tummy’ll be stirring uncomfortably. one box later, you’ll be in the toilet shitting your guts out. eclipse is king.

 

4. i prefer my dad to my mum. she flares up for nothing then vents her anger on everyone. that’s reason enough for me to dislike her.

 

5. i dislike, or rather, can’t make small talk. this is why during bar outings, i usually sit beside someone and start talking to him/her about his/her ambitions/goals in life/whether he likes his job. (tehsi, you would know this very well, i presume. ) it is however, quite hard to make serious talk when rick price/TK is screeching "heaven knows" into your ear. 

 

6. i like talking to myself/clementine/things. so far, i’ve made conversation with my laptop, the desktop in the office, the scanner, the photocopier, the paperclips, the binding machine, my shoes, my clothes and my handphone.

i am perfectly sane though. clementine can play testament to that.  

 

7. i burst into tears when i’m angry. when i’m unhappy/sad, i talk to myself.

 

8. i like wearing dresses cause they’re so convenient. i like them short cause airiness = not so hot. yes, even at the risk of people not taking me seriously.

 

9. i like everything strawberry-ish.

 

10. i have really rough knees cause i fell down at least thrice a month back when i was a kid. these days, i’m still as clumsy. i trip, but i always catch myself before i land on my ass.

 

11. i’m obsessed about my weight. i usually hover around 45kg, but i want to be about 40 and still keep my boobs. maybe 39. i don’t know.

 

12. i like my legs best. then my boobs. then my eyelashes. and my lips!

 

13. i like my arms least. chunky, lard-ridden trunks of fat.

 

14. when i like a particular food, i can keep eating it and never get sick of it. i had fish soup 384 days out of 728 days (2 years). this unfortunately, doesn’t apply to human beings.

 

15. i like to plan ahead and stick to a routine. this is why i make sure i read every single blog on my blogroll every single day even when i’m dead tired. it’s also why i have to shower first before having breakfast, then read the papers while eating and waiting for my hair to dry. if my routine gets upset, i get upset.

 

16. i used to enjoy reading the papers. then i joined b****, and had to do media monitoring.

the straits times, the new paper, the business times, today, my paper, wanbao, zaobao and shinmin. i read all of them everyday.

when it’s monday, i have to read through 3 days worth of newspapers. now, i can’t stand the sight of them.

 

17. and i hate mondays.

 

18. when i was a kid, i used to like biting people. now, people like *coughs* leaving me bites.

 

19. i was in the executive committee of the prefectorial board for all 4 years of my secondary school life. 

 i was monitress for the first 3 years only cause me and melvin (he was my partner-in-crime for all 3 years as well) got sick of being in charge of a class where all the boys were juvenile and stupid and decided to tell our teacher that we didn’t want to take on the same role anymore.

yes, i is miss goody-two-shoes.

 

20. i still want sea angels, a sloth, tadpoles and salamanders as pets.

and oh, serangoon central sells REALLY fat goldfishes. but i don’t quite fancy them anymore.

they sell cute, tiny pufferfish though. heh.

 

and that’s it!

 

i tag thiang, shy, kimo, sujith and anyone who wants to do this.

 

 

tomorrow’s my birthday, as well as the announcement of something big!

 

can’t wait!
