Because I'm a narcissist...

In silent protest against the fad of posting 16/20/25 random things about yourself on Facebook, I'm boycotting it and am posting them on here instead. I know, I'm such a rebel. I'll even change it to only a list of 10 things. The truth is, I'm secretly bitter that no one had tagged me so I would've had no one to "tag back". When done this way, no one can be left out. And only those who cares will read. Genius.

Regardless, I've been trying to construct such a list in my head for the past few days in hopes of coming up with peculiar facts, habits or goals that might not be too obvious and perhaps even interesting. Of all the ones that I have read so far (yes, I'm a FB stalker), I think I've only read one, maybe two, that I actually found worthwhile.

* * * * * * * * * *

one // i am convinced that my short-term memory is only half as good as it once was. i used to be able to memorize all the materials for quizzes which i find out about at the beginning of the class - and 9/10 times i end up with A+'s. now i'll be on my way to somewhere n forget why i'm heading there in a matter of seconds.

two // i strongly believe that there is a high correlation between the amount of all-nighters i pulled during my uni-career and the increased depletion of my brain cells

three // my biggest regret in high school was not joining band. i really wish i could read and play music. my failure to do so makes me feel less like a true asian. but more so, it makes me feel limited and inadequate to be a worship leader.

four // sometimes, it bugs me when people joke using the"one time, at band camp..." not because we tried to be snobs and called them "music tours". but because camps (of all sorts) have a special place in my heart. Kawkawa changed my life. it was actually a church camp, but with band people. oh the irony. my very first camp of its kind but definitely not the last. it was where i met God.

five // i can still write chinese. and fairly well at that. only problem is that it looks like a kid's scribbles. i guess you can say i still write like as i did in primary school. ha ha ha.

six // after resisting the nagging of my mom for the past 10 years or so for me to be a teacher, i now have a degree with a minor in early childhood education and with hopes of get an after-degree in early childhood or primary education.

seven // i've always wondered what it would be like to date someone from a completely different race and cultural background. i've come to realize that i've only dated chinese guys and it will stay that way because, surprise! i'm marrying one. but there's something beautiful about inter-racial relationships that i just can't grasp.

eight // i have never planned out or dreamt of what my wedding would be like as a little girl. and i'm pretty sure i still haven't envisioned how the big day would be up till now. i've come to learn that God throws the best surprise parties. i know that our wedding will be the best one yet.

nine // i've had a love-hate relationship with mascots since i was little. i used to chase after them pulling on their tails but when i see them, they scare me to tears. now i sometimes have the urge to randomly pounce on one, just for old times sake. you know, like how they do it on the tv. it always looked so fun.

ten // there isn't much that i can say i hate. but i hate disney with a passion. perhaps the SFU Communications program have brainwashed me into thinking like this. but after all the research and papers i have done about how disney is corrupting our children's minds and emptying their souls, i worry for children growing up in this media-saturated culture. how sad is it to watch children (and grown ups) miss out on God's calling because they are too entangled with worldly things? but thank God for Veggietales!
