Thursday Thirteen #1: 13 Random Facts about Me

This item was filled under [ Bits & Pieces ]

Thirteen Things about VIOLET

1. I am an only child.

2. My first degree is in Law.

3. I hated Advanced Mathematics. It’s beyond me why I still decided to take up A Level Mathematics.

4. My first real job is at Citibank, Singapore.

5. My life motto is “Live as if you were to die tomorrow; learn as if you were to live forever.” – Gandhi

6. Jamie and I want 3 kids. One down, two more to go. :)

7. My first pet dog’s name is Lucky. Named after the dog in Mr Galliano’s Circus. If you read Enid Blyton books when you were young, you will know what I am talking about.

8. My proudest outdoor achievement is completing my Duke of Edinburgh award expedition segment where I had to carry a 12kg bag and walk for 15km for 3 days. Plus setting up camp and cooking my own dinner.

9. Never in my wildest dream have I thought I will set up a dating service. If you have to know, my childhood dream was to be a lawyer + a doctor. Haha!

10. My favourite soft drink is the Iced Milk Tea at MOS Burger. Well, it’s not exactly a soft drink, but it’s something you can get at a fast food chain. :)

11. My favourite burger at McDonald’s is Filet o Fish. I think I have been eating the same burger for the last 20 years!

12. My favourite local fare… it has to be a tie between chicken rice and char koay teow and katong laksa. Haha! I just cannot decide!

13. And last but not least, I can bend my left thumb backwards. Yes, freaky. I know.

    It was fun getting to learn about you! Wow, a dating service, that would actually be interesting! But I have no idea what the foods are, lol. Except my absolute favorite, Mc D’s filet o’ fish, without the cheese!
