No photos in this post so skip if you're feeling sleepy!
I realise I hardly share anything personal about myself in my day to day posts,
and recently I saw quite a few people on Instagram doing this...
So here're 20 random facts about me!
1) I have ridiculously huge feet for someone of my height.
I'm 161cm but my shoe size is 38.5!
:(
The sales people selling shoes are usually shocked when I ask for such a huge size.
2) I used to have really bad eyesight, 800+ degrees for each side of my eye.
Did lasik about 4 years back,
am really happy that I don't have to wear thick spectacles now.
Lasik is really worth it if you have myopia!
I've been wearing specs since I was primary 1 and I was really happy to have finally gotten rid of them.
3) My irises are naturally light brown in colour, as is my hair.
I think I'm just one of those people with lesser black pigment.
Or something.
One of the most commonly asked questions by readers is:
"What contact lens do you wear Joyce?"
4) It's very hard for me to fall asleep.
Think I blogged about my insomnia before...
I usually take 1-2 hours to fall asleep unless I'm really exhausted.
5) I generally prefer savoury food over sweet food.
CANNOT LIVE WITH SODIUM.
NUFF SAID.
6) I prefer soggy fries over crispy fries.
Will pick out the soggy fries and leave the crispy ones for Thom.
LOL.
7) I found it really hard to make friends when I was a kid.
I was really shy, quiet and nerdy back in primary school and it was so hard to make friends.
Things got better when I went to secondary school and JC,
and eventually I grew out of my shy self.
Have no problems making new friends now!
8) Most days, I prefer to stay home than head out.
Just like to nua at home!
Will try to get out of the house when I feel like I shouldn't continue nua-ing anymore.
9) My favourite brand of potato chips is Mister Potato!
Favourite flavour is hot and spicy.
Really awesome and always gets sold out at most places!
HEHEH.
Just sharing!
10) I started blogging since I was in secondary 3.
Really cannot stand my old blog posts.
Super cringe worthy and childish!
Hahahaha.
11) I cannot multitask for nuts.
If I'm using my phone and you're talking to me,
chances are I would not have heard or absorbed whatever you were saying to me.
Do not be fooled when I nod or mumble something in response.
I'm not listening!
12) I need to drink milk tea EVERYDAY.
Any kind of milk tea works for me.
Pokka, KOI, Lipton.
ANYTHING ALSO CAN.
13) I speak Mandarin at home and it is actually the most comfortable language for me.
I really like Chinese and I'm a cheena piang at heart.
I used to take Chinese Literature in secondary school and miraculously scored A during O levels.
Don't ask me how.
Hahaha.
14) The only time I listen to music of any kind is when I'm driving.
I don't have any songs downloaded onto my phone or my laptop.
15) The apps that I use the most of my phone are Instagram and Whatsapp.
Same as everyone else,
I think!
16) I REALLY LOVE TO SHOP.
Sometimes I even scare myself when I think about how much I shop.
The best deterrent for me is to think about Sissy's disapproving look.
HAHAHA.
17) Putting on braces was one of the best decisions I've made in my life.
Always shocked when I see my pre-braces photos.
How could I have lived with such ugly teeth back then!
18) My favourite apparel colour is white.
Almost every design from TTR comes in white and without fail I will keep the white.
19) I have migraines reallyyyyyy often.
As often as twice a week.
Anyone knows remedies that work?
I usually just want to curl up in bed and sleep until it goes away.
20) I prefer fruity scents over floral scents.
My favourites are DKNY Be Delicious, Chanel Chance Eau Tendre!
Okay, that's all!
I actually had quite a hard time thinking of 20.
LOL.
Am going to get a haircut tomorrow!
Still deciding if I should snip it till shoulder length or just do a conservative trim!
Also want to dye my hair to a darker shade because it looks too light for my liking right now.
Will share my new hairdo on Instagram tomorrow!
