25 (not so) random things

A viral spread of tagging game in Facebook. Here's my take.

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you. Dont take a lot of time with this--25 random things about you--be creative. do it do it! anddddd BEGIN.

(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.

1. It took me 15 minutes to find the button "Write Note" in Facebook cos I removed it from my app list. Then it didn't allow me to tag more than 10 people. When I finally found the correct place for me to tag 25 people, I already felt so inequipped as an IT-person.
2. I don't take carbonated drinks because of the tingling sensation it gave my tongue. But sometimes I make myself drink it for social reasons ( hell yes ) and that happens by my gulping it down my throat without tasting it.
3. The rain drops on the windshield, or glass, or any sort of transparent surface give me creeps. It's the polka-dot-animal-prints-looking pattern on the glass that gave me goose bumps but I find that being too ridiculous to tell anyone.
4. I have very short span of memory because I cannot remember what happened within the last 15 minutes but I can remember what happened beyond the 15 minutes very well in details. Weird.
5. My high school dream was to be a designer for graphics, theater sets, interior, product, industrial design or just anything cool. But I couldn't make up my mind so I am where I am now. Well, partly because someone looked into my palm during break time in school, and told me I'll do well in IT. (Now I find the reasoning of that decision really crazy.) Duncan, you know who! :p
6. I wonder I can even think of the remaining 19 facts but I'll try to write a short fact as long as possible cos it looks cool. Yes, this is cheating, I know.
7. I used to buy a lot books from the booker prize list. However those much recommended books end up in a dusty pile no matter how good the critics say. So, I've gained acceptance that I can't fake the literary genes in me. And, Neil Gaiman rocks.
8. I'm a serious person and I never tell a joke in my life. Seriously, because I can't store any jokes in my memory and also I don't find myself that much of a funny person. If you heard me telling one before, I'm sure I didn't think that was a joke at all.
9. At some point, I wild-dreamed that I could be a pop-culture critic because whatever unpopular things I once started liking, became so popular a few months later. Then it made me hate it so much in return.
10. My brain is good at imagining things, wild imaginations you can't imagine ! So, at times, I sit by in a corner and observe/imagine the life of others. It gets very funny sometimes.
11. I love travelling alone for the solitude during the journey and the fun of meeting strangers. And I find that difficult to explain to others. Also, cos of some personal experiences, I get very selective at who I will travel with, if I do travel with anyone.
12. New year resolution is not my thing.
13. I am a snail-mail person. With the widespread of email, I still hope to use snail mail but email sometimes since most people email for its speed and convenience. And me, for sake of others' convenience. So, please write to me.
14. The best time of my life, so far, is freshman year in university and I miss those people I met back then and have lost touch since.
15. I can never win a poker game, or card games, or ball games, or whatever games.
16. I used to make cards for my friends and I think the designs were good! :p Now I prefer receiving them, handmade/bought, over some fancy presents ( exception to cameras and flight tickets!! ). If you received one from me before, lucky you cos I'm less creative and diligent to make them now.
17. Favourite chocolate: not expensive Lindt ( I know it's good, I really know that ), but Ferero Roche and Kinder Bueno.
18. I can speak only 20 sentences ( okay maybe a little more) in French and I want to pick it up again soon. Writing it here so that I will do it!
19. I used to think I would die at 18 because I couldn't see what would happen past that. But, now I find that really ridiculous yet funny.
20. I use haircuts as a way to change my mood. So I have dyed my hair blue, purple, red, platinum blonde, blonde, pink and brown before. And of course, they were done in separate occasions.
21. I used to take obvious naps in class, all the time, from high school to university. And I really wondered why the teachers still gave me good scores, seriously. :S
22. I'm actually afraid of heights which was why I went sky diving, and also want to bungee jump before I'm 30. I know The reasoning doesn't sound convincing.
23. The length of my hair never reach further below my shoulder because the humid weather forces me to cut it whenever it reaches shoulder length.
24. I started blogging 6 years ago, ( anonymously for 4 years or so, and publicly then on). Now, I am less keen to do it because it becomes such a normal thing to do.
25. I don't like garlic and sashimi. I can't even start talking about anything related to them.

Over to you, if you're keen to have your own list :)
