Myself / Personal Opinions

> Adaptations are smart

> Nonchalance is very irritating.

> Don’t like people who don’t reply.

> I don’t retaliate in the open. I’ll be nonchalant as I know it is very irritating. :p

Food

Shopping / Fashion

> I am the 5th customer of Naraya, Singapore. Impulsively, I got two bags and they are righteously chucked into a corner now. I will find a chance to use it, I will.

> I love shopping but I do not shop hastily. I think a lot, sometimes too much.

> I don't like trends, I dig class and style.

> Oh yes. Please dress appropriately according to the occassion.

Family

> The maid is totally redundant and what she does is greeting me.

> Twilight is my dream house. I won’t tell you where it is. Haha.

Technology

> Mac is overrated.

> Volvo / Volkswagen will be my first car. Most probably I can convince Mommy to get a new car for herself and pass her Volvo on to me. Dreams come true.

> I just did a calculation: I’ve currently got 7 cell phones under my possession.

Study / Work

> The internship kind of changed my views about current affairs.

> I'd like to major in communications because that is the most profiting industry ever, and where my interest lies (pun intended).

> I don't have a dream job or anything like that. My ambition is to be a part-timer. (eg, in property / tuition / writing / aubrey / shopper ) Or best, have my own business.

> I don’t like OL gossiping in the toilet.

Activities / Hobbies - Entertainment: Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books

> I am not attracted to any genres of music, but the songs themselves.

> I tend to fall in love with my favourite movies’ soundtracks.

> Reading out loud during study meetings is a good experience. Less jitters when I do public speaking.

> I don't like to sing with bad sound system or poor ambience.

> OK, what I truly love is history, artefacts, wonders of the world, traveling, myths, legends and religion. They won't earn me a cent (maybe traveling will) so I just pile up such books for own leisure.

> No matter what kind of books, they all add depth to a person in a good way, not those that are petty and meticulous.

> I can’t sing for nuts if I feel nothing for the song.

> Music is music, it is not ridiculous.

Opposite Sex

> Having a good boyfriend is always an ego booster.

> Ed Westwick and Robert Pattinson are the hottest males, for now.

> My ideal ensemble of a guy's weekend wardrobe: Loafers (must invest), suave shirts and stylish bermudas, sling bag or no bag & car.

> That guy from Take Home Chef has a heart of gold.

> Charm takes precedence when I pick my boyfriend or future partner.

> My husband must be well-dressed, well-spoken and well-presented.

> I like men who speak up, confident and have a mind of their own.

Friendship

> To start with, I always loveee having my family friends. They keep secret identities and are extremely interesting people.

> Friends are only true when they are honest, real and humble.

> I try my best to be very nice.

> I adapt and behave differently in front of different friends.

> Petty and meticulous people can’t be true.

> Generosity and open-heartedness is very nice and… warm.

Religion

> I miss SNCO. A lot. THIS MUCH.

> I don’t like being frequently commented that I have a Christian face. What? You assume a person’s face based on the face!?!
