I am stealing this idea from one of my daily reads (oops Cindy, will you make me pay for copyrights?). I think it's pretty cool for me to put down 5 random facts about myself for you to know me better (well, only if you are interested). Actually I've been sharing a lot about myself in each and every of the entries here, probably not in a direct manner. But you know they are absolutely my thoughts and me, Jadeism. *grin*.
1) I learned ballet dancing before. In fact I took the Royal Academy of Dancing Examination till Grade 3. I gave up when I was 12 years old. Why? I had to focus on my academic performance. That's just a lame excuse. Shhhh... Actually I wasn't interested from the beginning. The true reason I told my mom to send me for classes was I saw my sister dancing elegantly and earned lots of compliments from her teacher and other parents. I got really jealous and thought, "Geez, I'm older than her. If she can do it, I'm sure I can do better." Yeah, I was really childish and easy to be eaten up with jealousy. After learning for a few years, I felt that it's really petty to feel jealous over something that is unimportant. I shouldn't compare myself with my sis and worse still I shouldn't want to beat my sister. Plus I really didn't like ballet dancing that much. I gave up. My sister was really a talented dancer and she actually completed till Grade 8. I'm so proud of her!
2) I love reading cheesy love romantic novels. I started writing chinese novels during college time. I even have a pen name for it. That's also in chinese. It is the first two characters in my Introduction column of my blog here. One day I hope to get my novels published. Well...that'll be a long long while since laziness is always my character (this you already knew). *lol*
3) You all know I'm a music-freak. But one thing you don't know is I can listen to the same song again and again for an extended time, can go for hours or even days and sometimes months or probably years. Oh dear, I won't be a cool DJ huh? Don't worry, I'll make sure I won't do that when I become one. Oh yeah, additional point 3b here, I was a HS radio DJ. Love that task!
4) I was quite tomboyish when I was in HS. I refused to put on girly clothings. I just like to go around with t-shirts and jeans/short pants with sporty sneakers. No matter how much protest and complaints my parents gave me, I just refused to listen. I turned into a new leaf after I entered college. Now I have more skirts than pants in my closet. Too bad I can't wear them that often in this cold country.
5) I am afraid of height. I only discovered that when I was going hiking and trekking with my college friends. But that didn't prohibit me in participating more of this kind of trips. I love nature especially waterfalls and beaches. I'll just have to be excused each time for becoming the last person reaching the top of the hill or sometimes half of the hill coz I just can't make it. There was once I was too slow (too cautious of my steps walking up the narrow hill), some friends who felt obliged in not leaving me behind alone missed the sunrise because it took me a while to get to the hill. I felt so bad coz 6 of us woke up at 4ish very early in the morning just to catch sunrise. Anyway, we managed to watch sunset together on the same evening around 9pm. That was during summer at the Southern hemisphere. :)
Well, that's some really odd random facts about myself. That's not it all, I have more weird stuff about myself. But hey as I mentioned in the beginning, I do mention bits and pieces about myself in each entries. It really depends how good your eyes are to catch them. Oh yeah, not forgetting to highlight, being a little mysterious is one of the rare traits of Scorpions. *wink*
