20 random facts you didn't know about me...

to start off, i realise i blog in the morning most of the time, that's due to the traffic at night. it's crazy laggy, thus i normally am online only in the morning.

i did 8k this morning! yes, again, very proud of myself. it's been a tough week, and i needed the release. though i had a few kinks in my sides and shoulder by the time i finished.

Agnes called this morning! woohoo!! she stayed up till 1 just to talk to me after reading the last post, which was sweet, and thank God she didn't call at 2 in the morning, my time. don't worry i will be fine. yes i miss you ;)

thank God for great friends.

i was running just now, and i thought of this post. random, i know, but running clears my head especially in the morning's cool and crisp air. too bad there was not much sun. here goes.

1. my last name in Chinese means hero, Xiong, but on my i.c it says Shern, no idea what that means. it changed some time ago when i was sick and not yet a Christian, a sifu asked that i change it, along with other requirements to heal my ailment. i remember drinking some burnt paper, YECK. at the same time, i changed my doctor, and i 'miraculously' recovered. =.='

2. i am a very simple person, if you make fish for dinner, i would eat it, if celery, i would too. no complains there.

3. i am an optimist. i believe in the good in people, it's not naivete.

4. i like fashioning things with my hands, like wood and stone, though i lack the proper instruction.

5. i love all things furry, but cats more than dogs, just a little.

6. i am alot like my dad. i don't express feelings in words.

7. i really, really like the english language, writing and reading it both, though the french and italian call it a bastard tongue.

8. i have a very vivid imagination.

9. i am of the 'grow old but never up' school.

10. i have alot of baby hair at my hairline (lol, random)

11. and i have 10 (yes 10) moles on my left arm. (yes i counted, yes you can as well)

12. i am definitely a second child, what this means, ask me another time. too long to elaborate.

13. i speak bm with a 'proper' malay accent, and oft have been asked 'eh you orang melayu eh? kenapa cakap bahasa bagus ah?' to which i reply 'bukan, cina, tapi dulu banyak kawan melayu'

14. i have stayed in 4 houses, this is the fourth

15. and i like staying in high rises, preferably a pent-house with two stories.

16. i realise my ambition is to get rich while travelling the world, means, to be paid for doing that.

17. i have a list of places to go before i die.

18. i laugh easily.

19. i like a musically inclined girl, preferably piano or violin (lol, picky much)

20. i love beauty, in her very essence, like, the beauty of the rain of an open field, like the sun setting and lights sparkling over the waves, like the quite serenity of a baby at sleep, like a smile that is enchanting as it is sweet, lovely to behold, lovely to receive.

i though i could not possibly have 20 random things to write about, but now i find i have more. maybe next time.
