Writer’s 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 off 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 helicopter pilot licence or my dad who was a ship’s 1st officer 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 🙂
4. I hated art as a kid.
It was one of the subjects which I liked the least 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.

I hate art as kid too and yes, funny and ironic I’ve been very fearless now when it comes to artworks.

Happy anniversary to you and your hubby!
Sorry, I don’t know how to drink tea (and I love coffee). Your list is pretty interesting. Flying would be a great course to take 🙂

Thumbs up to your courage to face your fear of the water
R is so so sweet. Happy planning of your anniversary trip and enjoy
So sad, I have no one to share my love for teddy bears. I stopped buying them and even gave away a lot :-‘(
I am neither a coffee nor tea person

We have two things in common, Ms. Dominique! I’m also a pathological list-maker, and I am also afraid of open water. Well, I’m also a nail-biter hehehe.
And congratulations on your 12th anniversary! Wow!

You are very rarely the focus of your own blog posts so this is a welcome prompt for this week. I’ve found that I like lists too although I don’t really list much for fear of not crossing anything significant out hehe

I am a list maker, too; however, I am also a list loser, so I never get to cross everything off when I can’t even FIND it!

I love all kinds of drinks, including the ones you don’t like. Yep, that would include all the so called bad stuff. It’s a treat for me, and l enjoy treating myself, hehe. I don’t like tea- only when eating dim sum. Those are the two things about me that sometimes I tell or not tell, depending on my audience. smiles.

I love lists. I think I am ADHD and really need help to focus sometimes. I drink coffee first thing in the morning then oolong tea all day long.
It’s awesome that you want to confront your fears. I applaud you on that.
I have 4 children, 2 steps, 30 grands and 7 greats all living w/in 5 miles. I work full time and have a passion for alternative health.

Happy Anniversary, I think it’s sweet you want to make the perfect cup of coffee for R. Take care.

I would love to get a pilot’s license too. Don’t know what a sailor’s license would be, but I would live that too! {:-Deb

Happy Anniversary!
You are such an awesome person and I love your post for the letter A.
I am also a list maker and I rarely, and I mean very rarely, drink alcohol.
Thanks for linking this week!
