a friendlier to myself tell me about you

"hi my name is hui. there are a couple of things i love. in no particular order. i love yoga. it gives me an inner sense of peace and allows me to listen to my body. besides, i find it cool to be able to do inverted poses. if only i am not so lazy, i could be much mroe consistent at it, be better and fitter. i love food. i never really appreciate the wonderful food culture singapore possesses, where people think of food as a religion and will travel miles and miles (technically, not really, since singapore is quite small) just to get their favourite food. i love random discoveries of food havens. one of my favourite dish is frog leg porridge, which makes many of my ang moh friends cringe and ill just by the thought of it. my absolute love is curry vegetable, but i don't know how to make it. i love my friends, especially those who loves to eat just like i do. i like people who doesn't gasp when i suggest eating the buy3get2free+freeporridge deal even though there is just two of us. i never knew how to cook but realised to be able to cook is not hard - to cook well is an art. i love art. i like going to bras basah and pretend to be one of the art students and buy canvases and brushes (even though i don't know which brush is good for what) and acrylic paint. i paint, or try to, and hope to attend an acrylic painting class so i can do it properly. i've painted a few paintings and thankfully, i think i'm getting better each time. i have bravely given away the paintings as presents, but i need to build up my confidence and practice more often. i enjoy musicals, and have seen six broadway musicals in my lifetime, of which two are seen in broadway itself. my absolute love is phantom of the opera and i can memorise all the songs since i was 16. i am addicted to travelling. to me travelling is not getting to a place and enjoying the scenary. it's an entire journey a process from researching what to do where to go to contacting random locals to either ask for tips or meet up with them so that i can truly immerse into their culture. i've been fortunate enough to have met so many travellers - some travelling like i am, some taking a break from travelling but actively meeting up with random travellers who pop by their town and take us under their wings and show us what to do. it's really cool to meet these people and hear of their ridiculous travelling tales. i have some of my own too. this is the world of travellers, not tourist. i am part of that culture. i like to think i am a traveller. i found a man that shares the same passion and dream, but too bad he is stuck in singapore for the next six years. one day we will conquer the world with our map pins. in the meantime, i will have a headstart. :) i love fashion and clothes and am glad i am a girl because being a guy, you can't do that much. or have thirty six pairs of shoes and get away with it. i cannot resist dresses because they are so feminine. i love being feminine and fashionable yet geeky at the same time. i love gaming and is given a playstation portable to play with while i am in london. yay. i always smile for some reason, although i don't think i am inately a very happy person. it's nice meeting you anyway."

(jz i stole it from you again)
