Random Things about Me

I love beautiful things. Art, design, photography, rocks, flowers, landscapes, pottery, jewellery, textures, colours, buildings, people.

I always wanted a tattoo on my back, but couldn’t find/design an image that I’d be happy with for the rest of my life.

I love reading. I think life is too short to read crap books, so I only read books that come highly recommended. I like reading from all genres. Trashy chick lit, hard-core sci-fi, fantasy, thrillers, crime, classics.

I enjoy keeping healthy and active. I like taking walks, jogging, swimming and being outdoors. I’d like to do a bit more scuba diving, snorkeling, kick boxing, and Latin dancing. I also like the occasional game of squash, netball, soccer, tennis and beach cricket.

I enjoy crafty designy things. Ceramics, pottery, knitting, sewing, paper crafts, painting, printing, illustrating, drawing.

I love cooking! And eating. I get such a buzz from experimenting with food and recipes. I prefer fresh, healthy, low-fat, low-sugar foods. But I can’t live without dim sum, pizza, pasta, hamburgers, chocolate and KFC.

I can drink pretty well, and love alcohol but I'm not a drunker. Given a choice, I'd reach for a beer over wine and cocktails.

I’ve worked and studied in Singapore. It was great fun. But the crazy expat life wore me down, and I just wanted to come home to my mother’s cooking and the big Malaysia skies.

I’m a Christian. I reckon that God is cool, loving, down-to-earth and has an awesome sense of humour. But his PR people need to lift their game.

In my list of dating/relationship requirements, I really didn’t care about a guy’s look or race. It was all about confidence, stability, eloquence, a sense of humour and the ability to hold an interesting conversation. But so far I've only dated Asian guys.

I’ve always wanted at least three children. I love big families.

I love going out. Sitting in cafes, dancing in clubs, talking in bars, dining out, house gatherings, parties, barbecues, weddings, picnics! I also love an occasional trip to watch movies, theatre, musicals, symphonies, stand up comedy, rock concerts and live bands.

At the same time, I can’t think of anything more satisfying than sitting in front of TV, eating take-away, lights down low, in my pyjamas and watching crap on TV. I’m a home girl at heart.

Basically, I strive to live a balanced life. Fun. Serious. Fast. Slow. Brainy. Bimbotic. Intense. Lazy. You get the drift.
