Colors?

White, black, red, blue, silver.


Number?

2 (not too lonely yet not “too many cook spoil the broth”, if ya know wat I mean ya? ;p)


Day?

Friday (since school days; cos when I grew up, weekends actually hv no relevance to me in terms of rest days)


Animal?

Penguin! They look sho cute when they walk! And they can swim!


Festival?

Mid-autumn festival (have always tot this as a very romantic festival since young , with all the 猜灯谜、赏月、提灯笼、吃月饼、听故事 etc)


Flower?

Tulip. Once had a pact with a penpal that shd I die, he was to bring me 11 white tulips and a red tulip for mah funeral. (Dun think he rmbs anymore though, hardly contact and almost totally out of touch) Pls do not send me chrysanthemums! Yucks! Lesser known and less popular amg the ladies but yet another one of my fav wld be Shocking Pink Gerbera with black core. The core of flower needs to be black in order to stand out.


Thing to do on a rainy day?

Having a nice cup of creamy soap and when I hv that special someone, to snuggle up against, feeling protected within his embrace.


Type of chocolate?

Dark chocolate. (For ya information, only chocolates with cocoa content of 70% and above are considered as dark chocolate)


Fruit?

Pear (the fat round type, dunno how u call it in English but it’s call shui jin li in mandarin)


Movie?

City of Angels.


Drama?

Hmm... hard one to answer. Cant think of any specific one locally though I must say I love Fann every since she was a model! I like some of her shows ba. And some others which I cant quite recall now. As for Korean drama, it would have to be “Beautiful Days”! Japanese drama would be “Toyko Love Story”.


Sports?

Hmm… swimming? Haven’t swam for ages though. Used to swim a lot when young and once was tanned so dark that my mother couldn't recognize me when i reached home and almost for a min, refused to open doors for me! Else the only other form of exercise that I ever had these days is walking. I like walking in the park, by the beach or any place quiet, peaceful and free from the crowd.


Instant noodles?

Have almost sworn off instant noodles a few years back but for nostalgic reason, it would be Maggi Noodles Asam Laksa. I love it since I was in kindergarten. The Asam Laksa in those days taste spicy and I love the soup! Too bad since dunno when the flavour kinda change and does not taste the same anymore. I knew how to cook instant noodles as young as I was seven.


Ice-cream?

For nostalgia reasons it would be mint with chocolate chips. Else anything goes as long as they taste good on my taste buds to me. Be it caramel, mango, vanilla or whatsoever, bring it on! Oh and did I mention that I soooo love the ice-cream those peddlers sell at roadside. Those sort that they usually scoop unto colorful bread, biscuit cones or paper cups? I love the pink, yellow and chocolate combination of those ice-cream and did I mention I wld look forward to eating the atap chee within the ice-cream?


Food from the “parsa malam”?

Taiwanese sausage and the 3 for $1 tapioca cakes! Tea-boiled eggs too! Erm… cup corns too? Wahaha, me very greedy!

--

Either or…

Day or night?

Definitely the mysterious night.


Rain or sun?

I love rain!


Dresses or pants?

Dresses. My grandma used to buy me a dress each CNY.


Sing or dance?

Eh? I cant sing well lar… maybe hum some sorta melody to a love one? Kaka. Dance? Em, so long as I aint under spotlight and am dancing within the crowd who are also too busy enjoying themselves, dancing can be rather exhilarating.


Cook or sew?

EH??!! Dun really know how to cook… erm can learn though? Sew?
What kind? Well, erm if imma tai tai, guess wont be too difficult then. Have all the time in the world to learn! Haha!


Love or money?

Haha? 面包或爱情？Love lar… oh well, let’s just say I believe if my love truly loves me, he wont leave me to fend for myself or starve. I still hold this belief.


Baby boy or baby girl?

What? LOL! My fortune teller says it would be a girl. Dunno how true…


Coffee or tea?

Tea definitely. Coffee is more of an acquired taste of late. Used to avoid coffee when younger. During those days, I still rmb my parents pouring tea out from the teacup to the saucer for the tea to chill, and then we kids wld slurp it up from the saucer. Oh yes! Teacups & saucers also remind me of those spinning joy rides at Gay World (is that the name for that amusement park?) back then.


Truth or beautiful lies?

Definitely the truth. Especially from my closest one. I cannot take blatant lying. Of cos, truth spouted as a means to hurt is unforgivable either. There’s a saying “A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.” Lies also emerge in the form of infidelity to me. I cannot take any nonsense of this sort though surprisingly, you’ll find me to be the least possessive and jealous of all lovers (perhaps in the first place, fickle lovers aren’t for me). I simply dun get jealous when my partner and I are in love with each other fiercely. Ogling at the girls? Sure no problem! I’ll join you too for I admire the “heavenly bodies” as well!


Kisses or hugs?

Again? Both. Definitely.

--

Dislikes?

Being rushed (hurried), ordered around (being bossed), mess (things not organized or compartmentalized) and oh, being tickled as well.


Allergic to?

Dust
