Writer’s Workshop: A Few Random facts about Me

 Writers Workshop: A Few Random facts about Me

R and Me

Last week I  wrote about my May Bucket List. This week I will be sharing with your some random facts about myself.

 

1. I am a sticker for lists and make it a point to finish what I set out to do.

In fact I can already cross of the item  ”Learn how to use Manga Studio 5.0″ on the list I wrote last week as I’ve been hard at work since last week learning the in’s and outs of this software. If you are interested to try out this software there is a giveaway for it  which is currently running on the blog.

2. I would really like to get a pilot license and sailors license even though I have phobia of falling and water.

During my teenage years I was invited to  join the youth flying club and take flying lessons. Unfortunately we didn’t have the time and cash for the lessons so I stuck to piano and violin instead. It would be cool to be able to take to the air like my cousin P who recently got his commercial or my dad who was a sailor in his younger days. The best way to get rid of phobias is to face it head on.

3.  I will be celebrating my 12 wedding anniversary soon and we be going to Jeju island, Korea.

R knows that I do love watching Korean Dramas and what better way then to let me indulge in the scenic places which were the backdrops for many Drama serials which I have watched. We didn’t get to visit Jeju island last year when we went to Korea so it’s on the list of places to go this year icon smile Writers Workshop: A Few Random facts about Me

4. I hated art as a kid.

It was one of the subjects which I liked the list and wouldn’t do if I had the option. However now that I am older  I am less resistant to it and would gladly attend painting/drawing sessions with my friends.  In fact as you read this I’ll be at an Art workshop at HEARTS studio.

5. I love Hello Kitty and Teddy bears

I still go for such cutesy items at my age. It does help that Tiger girl loves Hello Kitty and Doggie boy likes Teddy bears too. It gives me the prefect excuse to increase my current collection.

 

6. I choose tea over coffee or alcohol any day

I love drinking all types of teas, green tea, fruit tea, flower tea etc.  I will not touch coffee or alcohol if I have the choice. Even though I have tasted them before those are beverages which I do not fancy.  However if R is really into coffee I will willingly sign up for a Barista course so I can make the prefect cup of coffee for him.

 

What random facts of yourself are you willing to share?

Do you too have some of these hidden desires?

Are you an aspiring artist or do you like me love reading manga comics?

I have been reading Manga comics during my teenage years and love the Ranma 1/2 series. This was the first Japanese anime series which got me hooked on Manga and sparked my interest in anime. Since then I have read or watched shows on Naruto, Ghost in the Shell, My Neighbour Totoro and Spirited Away among others.

I have always admired my cousin Justin’s manga drawings and he is able to draw really realistic and lovely pictures being a graphic designer. Now I have the chance to do some graphic designing of my own with Manga Studio 5.

I don’t have a pen tablet as yet so my drawings using the mouse is not as fantastic. The edges and lines are not as smooth as I would like them to be. I’m sure when I get my pen tablet my drawings will certainly improve!!

Admiring Pink Blooms

 Admiring Pink Blooms

Pink bloom

Pink is one of my favourite colors . It makes one feel feminine when it is done and really does help perk up my day seeing my favourite Hello Kitty  in this color.  I managed to capture pictures of a few different pink flowers when I was at Tulipmania and at Hort Park. I love the cluster of light pink flowers in the photo above. It certainly would look good in a vase on the table decorating an assortment of cakes.

Doesn’t it look pretty in this hanging basket. It certainly would perk up any room in the home with it hanging in the corner.

This last shot was taken at Hort park during our photo shoot. I don’t know the name of this plant either but it certainly looks pretty.
