i am

chinese, singaporean, and asian, depending on what perspective you are looking at me from, and for what purposes. also rather ditsy and frivolous – that doesn’t change from any perspective.

i mostly

study. watch tv in the name of research. translate. sing. read.

i sometimes

attempt to cook. attempt to look for an expat husband. take long walks. miss home.

i like

singing; the fresh smell of linen; gentle breezes; sunrises and sunsets; parks; long walks; rainy days as long as i am indoors; chewy cookies; yellow flowers; matcha-flavored anything; new gadgets; eggs sunny side-up; dimples; storage solutions; m&ms; throwing things out to make way for new things; hoarding expensive coffee, tea-bags, and granola bars in my room, for my personal consumption; suburbia; teddy bears; red wine; early morning; early afternoon; watching tv; making lists that never end…

i dislike

losing my voice; purple; annual reports; stale, unmoving air; clutter that is not tucked away in some storage solution; people who spend too much time taking pictures during trips and events; people who take too many candid shots; tardiness; leopard prints; innards (the eating of); pms; cooking smells that seep into my hair and clothes; skinny people who keep asking me to eat; dust; being rushed into anything; self-help books; persuasive people; lists that never end…
