A big thank you to my new blogger friend, My Beautiful Life for awarding me the 'One Lovely Blog Award' yesterday. I feel so honored. Besides being one of the sweetest person I know in blogosphere, she is also a very supportive friend. (She always drop by my blog and leave comments.) And I can't thank her enough! :-)
Following the tradition of this award, besides linking back to the person who nominated me, I must reveal 7 things about myself, nominate 15 other bloggers for this award, leave a comment on their blogs and tell them to pick up their prizes.
Seven facts about myself:
1. I was born and grew up in Malaysia in a small town named Ipoh. I have been staying in the United States for almost 9 years.
2. I am multilingual. I can speak:
i. English (a second language in my home country)
ii. Cantonese (a Chinese dialect)
iii. Mandarin (the official Chinese language)
iv. Hakka (another Chinese dialect)
v. Malay (our national language)
I can speak each languages with different levels of fluency. Cantonese is my first language. The funniest and most ironic thing is, I can read and write in English and Malay but not in Chinese because I have never received any prior formal education. I only recognized approximately 100 words of Mandarin. (mostly self-taught)
3. I can draw anything (quite accurately) if I am shown a picture but I can't draw very well using my own imagination. Weird but true. I guess my imagination is not concrete enough.
4. I love looking at creative, beautiful and elaborate window displays! I find it very inspiring and I can stare at them for minutes. Sometimes, I also take pictures.
5. I am the pickiest eater ever. I dislike candies, chocolates, desserts, ice-creams, cakes and cookies of any kind. People always seemed a little surprised and skeptical when I told them this little fact about myself. After hearing what I said, most people always find it hard to believe and often responded with "You really don't like them or are you just on a diet?" It sounds strange but true but I have never liked them even when I was a child.
6. I graduated from Campbell University, North Carolina with a degree in Mass Communication, majoring in Advertising.
7. I am a perfectionist. For example, if I planned to wash the bathroom sink, I usually end up cleaning the bathroom mirror and the bathtub, mopping the bathroom floor and reorganizing everything in the bathroom or else I wouldn't be satisfied.
Hopefully you enjoyed reading all the facts and the little quirky things about me! :-)

Jessie, thanks for passing on the award and I enjoyed reading your post. I kind relate to your need to clean the entire room it starting on the sink, but not to the dislike of sweets. I adore chocolate! All the best with your beautiful blog! Janell

ReplyDeleteJessie, it was neat to read more about you. I would love to speak so many languages! Wow. Also, I'm with Janell on the sweets. Oh how I love them, though I wish I didn't since that is usually my soft spot. The drawing comment is very interesting. Can you post some pics of your drawings? Would love to see them.
