After I read Liu Xuan's book, I decided to have my own list too----25 little things that you don't need to know about me. Just like Liu Xuan said, the least important things actually are those important details that we used to miss it. I cracked my brain and came out with this list. Enjoy it but don't feel bored because they are really unimportant.
- I like when my friends call me Xian. It sounds like we are family more than friends. My uncles and aunties like to call me Xian Xian. I always complain about this because I don’t want them to treat me like a kid. However, I still feel warm every time I hear them call me Xian Xian.
- I keep all the letters and cards that my friends sent me. I keep them well in a box. I will take it out to refresh my memory when I feel bored. Therefore, sometimes my mum worries when I smile or laugh alone in my room.
- Talking about letters, I think the most romantic job in this world is postman. Postmen are just like angels because they have changed people’s life indirectly. But after all the emails, messages, facebook and msn, postmen are not very important in most of the societies. It is sad because the new generation is not going to have chance to feel the warmth of the letters.
- I think I am rather smart because when I read, I totally understand what the writers are trying to say. And my friends always need me to re-explain the content of a book every time we read. But there is one book that I really don’t quite get it. The book is bible. I feel stupid when I read bible. Even I have pastors and friends to explain to me when I am in a total confusion. I talked to my Father personally but as usual He didn’t answer. So, just pretend I understand and take all the official explanations.
- My friends said women need to know how to tackle alcohol. She asked me to try and learn how to drink alcohol. I know we need to know how to drink or ‘sip’ alcohol when we socialize in the future. But my body cannot take any foods or liquids which is BITTER. If alcohol tastes like Rebena, maybe I will shout: “Come! A glass of gin and tonic!”
- I bought a sketch book last year and hope to draw something when I am free. Until now, my sketch book is still very clean and stays smartly on the shelf. I think it is time to buy some crayons. Haha~
- My sister bought an English book for O Level. The title of the book is ‘Mastering Tough Vocabulary’. I laughed at my sister and started flipping over the book. Eventually, I spent the whole evening reading the book. Those vocabs are truly TOUGH. It was very challenging, I like it.^^
- I am really scared of cold.
My father is happy because he does not need to buy me an air-con.
Sweaters and jackets are always in my shopping list.
If I forget to bring sweater to cinema, I will curse myself.
My friends say I am insane because I have two blankets on my bed.
Thank God, I am living in Malaysia.
- Every time before I go out, I will remind myself to bring recycle bag. I am not a politician who can help or improve the environment, but at least I reduce the chances of creating so many burdens to the earth.
- When I was in secondary school, I subscribed a monthly high school magazine called “Zhong Xue Sheng”. I like it so much and I keep all of them in a special box (actually I have many boxes). But last time, when we decided to relocate some of our belongings to our shop, mum threw all my magazines away. I gone crazy and decided to go back to the land field and looked for my magazines. Luckily with my sister’s help, my magazines were saved. Mum, please don’t throw away my memory, they are way too important than my clothes. If you want to throw something, please go to my closet.
- Talking about my boxes, I also keep my Form Six Chemistry notes in it. My chemistry was not very good but I liked Chemistry class very much. In Mrs Lai’s class, chemistry is no longer just the symbol H2O but it is about life. We can smell, touch and see life through knowing more about chemistry. Since then, I see myself as a person who knows life but not an exam machine. For me, she is not a teacher, she is a scientist.
- I remember since last time I did not sleep well for few days just to finish my assignments, it caused me a very serious period pain. This seldom happens to me, but I think because of those stressful days, period pain came to knock my door. I went to the pharmacy to buy some painkiller. The pharmacist advised me not to take too much pills because it will cause some side effects. I told him this seldom happened and I promised just to take one. If the pain still continue, I will just let it be. But he still stood there and blah blah blah….
Then I asked him: “xiao di di, do you know what period pain is?”
He kept quiet. Then I continued.
“Period pain is just like thousands of elephants step over my stomach.”
“So, give me the pills.”
He stunned for a while and gave me the pills and kept the money.
I feel sorry for him but he should understand it was not my fault, it was hormone’s fault.
- I like junk food. But since last time Ceek Chean gave me an “organic food lesson” in the supermarket, I think twice before I buy any junk food.
- I don’t like to do chores. But once again, after went to Pulau Redang with Ceek Chean, I changed my habit. I clean my room at least two times a week.
- Ceek Chean is a mean old hag. Blek.^^
- I brush my teeth before I wash my face. You want me to change the order? NO WAY.
- My favorite lecturer is Dr. Carmen. I hope I have a sister like her to teach me how to think critically and write academically.
- My left foot is bigger than my right foot. Therefore, sometimes I just hate wearing heels. It is too excruciating seeing one of my foot staying in the heel which is not its size.
- I don’t look down on people who look down on me. I look down on those people who look down themselves.
- If I have extra time and money, I would like to learn sewing and patchwork. Somehow, I think I have the talent.
- I went back to my high school last week and saw the painting that we drew on the wall when we were in Form Six. I remember Pei San drew that black-green coconut tree……Haha… How good it is if all of us just don’t grow up.
- A chef looks more charming than a musician. (For me ^^)
- Although sometimes my uncles, aunties and mum say something bad about my grandfather, I think he is the most caring and thoughtful person in my life. No matter what they say, I respect you grandpa as a hero deep in my heart.
- My sister told me to have a saving plan from now on and I am actually doing it now. I hope I can buy my own house in the coming future. >< So Excited!!
- Finally and lastly, this is the least important and you really don’t need to know about it-----I love my family and friends.
